Kate was woken by the sound of her father being attacked! She quickly got up and poked her head out the entrance of the den. She saw Garth ripping and tearing her father apart! She wanted to help him, but she knew that if she did, she would get herself killed. "Only if I could do something" Kate thought, but there was nothing she could do to stop what was happening. Kate laid at the entrance of the cave, but to where she couldn't be seen.
She laid her head on her paw and tried to be still, but suddenly she noticed a shadow had fallen over her. Kate looked up and saw Garth staring at her with a evil, cocky grin on his face. Kate darted out of the cave, But she barley managed to missed Garth who tried to bite her. Kate ran blindly into the valley, not knowing of any safe refuge to hide in. Kate ran and ran not knowing if she was being chased or not, she eventually ran out of breathe and had to stop. as she gasped for air, she looked around for any infected wolves, but she saw none. Kate walked in the valley trying to find any place to hide and was on high ground. Kate remembered the howling rock that she and Humphrey howled on. Kate started in the direction of the howling rock, she knew she could get a good vantage point from up there and could easily spot any infected wolves passing by. As Kate approached the rock, she hid in the bushes, She tried to sense the presence of anything near her. after awhile of looking and listening, Kate slowly came out of the bushes. She made sure she didn't make too much noise in case anything was there. Kate started to make her way up the rock. as she climbed the steep face of the rock, Kate heard footsteps and growling behind her. She turned around to find a infected wolf climbing after her. "Okay Kate, you can do this, its you or her". Kate said to herself. Kate jumped 10 feet down and collided with the infected wolf. The infected wolf fought back, but Kate was quick and flexible. the wolf ran towards Kate, But Kate Jumped up and landed or the wolf's back. Kate bit down as hard as she could on the wolf's back, trying to break its spine and sever the spinal cord. She succeeded and killed the wolf instantly. Kate quickly got off the wolf and bit it on it's neck to make sure it was dead. Kate then quickly ran back up the rock to make sure she didn't attract anything to the area by the noise she made. At the top of the rock, Kate scanned the area and spotted a infected wolf. Instead of attacking it, Kate avoided it and stealthy made her way around it. Kate began her search for another den, not wanting to risk her chances of survival. Kate did eventually find a den, but this time she found a bolder which she planned to use to block the entrance to the den.
Since it was getting dark, Kate decided not to venture out in search for survivors. Luckily for Kate, The den she had picked had caribou meat in it! "This must have been another wolves den." Kate thought. After eating, Kate moved the bolder into the entrance of the den, even though it wasn't an easy task. Kate Knew she wouldn't survive, but how could she! If everybody else didn't survive, how would she? Kate circled the ground and laid down and made her self comfortable. Kate soon drifted off to sleep. But little to her knowledge did she know what would happen tomorrow...
