2) Haunting Howling

Haunting Howling
As soon as the first howling echoes through the forest, Müsli panicked. He screamed and started to ran blindly into the darkness of the forest. Arctic, Khaos, I and Astoria just stared at each other for a second, frozen in place of shock. In the forests around Oaksworth there are no wolves seen ever before. "Are the wolves dangerous here??" Namir asked while starting to move in the direction where Müsli ran off. "No wolves live in these forests. Now lets go we need to catch up to Müsli" I say, glancing over at Khaos who just blankly stared back at me. "Lets go!" hurried Astoria and we started moving again. "Lets see where those wolves are huuh?" Arctic tried to joke, but we all shot him a warning glare and he fell silent. We gallopped through the forest. The howling kept going, like a never ending song, warning us about what's to come. "What do you think is going on??" I speed up a bit until I'm running side by side with Khaos, his hood fluttering hard in the wind. "I have no idea! But I don't think the wolves will be dangerous." Arctic scoffed and Astoria jumped over a fallen tree in her way, while starting to answer probably something very annoyed, but instead Namir yelled "MÜSLI! There he is!!" And a minute later we had reached the very frightened and panicked visitor. "T..The wolves.. t.. they.. they're going t..to kill us!" He pressed while trying to calm his breath." "No they will not kill us, just when we stay here!" I scoffed, uttering the group to fall into a quick canter again. Arctic suddently said "Guys", with us all turning our heads over to him. "I don't think this is our forest anymore...". While running, we didn't even noticed it really, but now, looking around, we realize how much the apperance has changed. Astoria, strongly breathing while steadily gallopping, nearly faded into the surrounding. Our deep green pine forest has changed into this.. white-ish, nearly glowing forest. The Pine trees were surely a deep off-white in the daylight, with their crowns being in dark orange hues like Namir and Khaos' fur. Arctic looked around horrified, and suddlently the howling got louder. "RUN" I yell and i shot in the front, running for my - no, for our lifes. Müsli ran now very closely next to Namir, who seemed to have already lost some of the cheap jewellery in his mane. Arctic seemed to get spooked by one of the closest howls so far and made a big huge leap over a frozen river. "The water here is frozen.. but it does not even feel that cold" Khaos said, calmly as ever. He really had the best stamina out of all from us. "What do you guys mean with.. it's not your forest anymore?? How is that even possible?" Müsli asked while breathing heavily, the sound of panic lingering in his voice like before. "We do not know" I answer truthfully. With each minute, the howling seemed to get louder. Astoria followed very closely behind us, as she suddendly screamed. She must have seen something we others didn't. We all run faster, the fear creeping deeper and deeper into our bones. "What did you saw?!" Arctic called over, Astoria just storming past us yelling "RUN." I sideeye Khaos who just turned his head back. "What happened?!" I yell, while Namir, me and Arctic simoultaniously leap over a fallen tree. Müsli whimpers and shivers and looks like this is his personal worst nightmare. Khaos breathing pitched, and he said "I think the wolves are chasing us." I shiver, and try to calm my beating heart, while trying not to stumble over the stones and branches laying on the path we are following. "What do we do?!" Astoria yelled, leading the group over a clearing. "We run. And then we find a way out of this forest." I answer, trying to deliver my answer as calmly as always, which does not happen to function as well as normally. The howling behind us gets louder, as well as the sound of paws flying over the harsh frozen ground. Müsli looks like he will start crying every minute with his flared up nostrils and whale eyes panickly searching the forest for an escape route. Astoria is thundering over the ground and jumping over any obstacles in her way, leading the group through the strange forest. Khaos suddently leaped forward next to Astoria and yelled something to her. "What did he said??" Arctic yelled, but Namir and didn't heard it either. In the front Khaos and Astoria suddendly made a sharp turn, down an clearing and on the other side back up, jumping over a frozen river bed and over some dead trees. "What is our plan?" I ask under heavy breathing, while the group continue to make sharp turns and dangerous jumps. With the minutes, the air got colder and colder, the wind picked up and the howling.. actually slowly faded and then died down eventually. "I need.. a.. break" whimpered Müsli, fully out of his breath and mind. We all slowly fell into a trot, we were fully wet. My skeleton was slightly mushed, and I could see Müsli's Patchwork lines being faded as well. Namir and Arctic were breathing very hard, Müsli was shaking on his whole body while Astoria silently whispered things to him to calm him down.
