Tom
reached
down
and
helped
Zack
up
saying

Wow
,
you
are
getting
a
lot
better
.
You
just
need
to
pay
attention
to
your
enemy
at
all
times
and
not
look
away
like
you
did
when
I
got
you
with
the
grass
.”
They
looked
over
and
saw
Tom
'
s
family
watching
.
They
looked
amazed
at
the
skill
they
both
possessed
.

The
two
boys
spend
an
hour
exercising
then
went
to
sleep
.
The
next
day
they
woke
up
and
went
into
the
kitchen
.
Caleb
was
sitting
at
the
table
eating
,
and
Tom
asked
him

Want
to
come
hunting
with
me
and
Zack
?”
as
Tom
and
Zack
sat
down
with
their
food
.
Caleb
shook
his
head
and
said

I
don
'
t
have
a
bow
and
I
have
to
help
at
the
forge
,
sorry
.”
Tom
thought
for
a
moment
then
said

Zack
used
to
help
a
blacksmith
so
he
and
I
could
help
in
the
forge
and
we
have
a
extra
bow
or
crossbow
.”


OK
.
Where
will
we
go
and
what
will
we
hunt
?”
Caleb
asked
. “
I
think
that
we
will
go
into
the
mountains
and
hunt
boar
or
wolves
.”
Tom
answered
,
the
two
boys
had
been
planning
the
hunt
for
a
few
weeks
.

Caleb
'
s
eyebrows
shot
up
and
he
said

I
was
thinking
deer
or
something
like
that
.
But
I
guess
that
those
are
OK
.”
They
finished
their
breakfasts
and
went
to
the
forge
.
The
work
went
quickly
because
there
was
four
people
working
on
it
.
They
finished
about
noon
and
they
went
into
the
back
for
Caleb
to
choose
a
crossbow
or
bow
.
He
chose
the
bow
and
the
boys
left
.
They
went
into
the
mountains
a
few
miles
from
their
house
.

They
searched
around
until
they
found
some
wolf
tracks
.
They
followed
the
tracks
until
they
found
a
good
spot
and
waited
.
They
passed
the
time
by
talking
softly
.
At
one
point
a
deer
crossed
the
path
,
a
while
later
finally
a
large
wolf
walked
in
front
of
them
.
Zack
got
up
his
bow
up
first
and
shot
the
wolf
in
the
throat
.
Zack
started
to
move
to
collect
the
body
but
an
even
larger
wolf
walked
forward
and
it
saw
the
boys
.
It
started
running
towards
them
,
Zack
and
Tom
fired
,
Tom
got
it
in
the
shoulder
and
Zack
missed
it
completely
Caleb
raised
his
bow
and
shot
.
The
arrow
flew
straight
towards
the
wolf
and
hit
the
beast
in
the
neck
.

 

Chapter
7

             
As
the
giant
wolf
fell
with
an
arrow
in
its
neck
the
boys
stood
there
in
silence
,
Tom
and
Zack
looking
at
Caleb
and
Caleb
staring
at
the
wolf
.
Then
Caleb
went
to
the
wolf
he
shot
and
tried
to
lift
it
.
It
was
so
heavy
that
he
barely
could
so
Tom
went
over
and
helped
him
carry
it
.
Zack
went
and
got
the
smaller
wolf
he
had
shot
and
followed
them
.

Tom
looked
up
and
saw
that
the
sun
was
nearly
down
,
then
said

We
should
make
camp
soon
,
so
find
a
stream
.”.
They
found
a
stream
a
few
yards
away
,
and
then
Caleb
said

Do
we
have
a
tent
?
It
looks
like
it
will
rain
tonight
.”
Tom
shook
his
head
and
put
down
the
wolf
'
s
body
.
Tom
said

Caleb
start
a
fire
,
Zack
go
get
some
water
,
I
will
make
a
shelter
.”
Looked
around
and
started
making
a
large
shelter
from
earth
and
trees
with
magic
.

Caleb
got
out
his
tinderbox
and
made
a
fire
.
When
Zack
got
back
with
the
water
the
shelter
was
made
and
the
fire
was
going
.
They
boiled
water
in
a
tin
pot
Zack
had
brought
and
Tom
made
a
stew
from
some
plants
he
found
and
wolf
meat
.
They
went
to
bed
after
they
ate
.
When
they
woke
up
they
cleaned
up
the
camp
,
leaving
the
shelter
as
it
was
.
