      "G...High School Was Never Like This: - Steven General

      *******

      Chapter One:

      The Beginning:

      The wolves were onto the scent now and this was no ordinary pack of wolves. Thirteen larger than life wolves were in this pack and they were very proficient in the killing. The Alpha and Beta were especially large and vengeful. Beautiful creatures when seen from afar and in that safety something to admire. But the pack now had the scent of five two-legged and the wolves now had purpose. They had no fear of the two-legged and in the past the two legged had been easy prey, except for that one two legged. The Alpha gave the cry of command and the pack instantly formed like a well trained unit and moved as if they were one spirit. The wolves knew they were only three miles away from the message of the scent and the wind was right, bringing the fresh smell of blood to their olfactory senses. Their tempo was swift and they were excited at the thought of a kill and fresh food. The hunt had begun and it was good. The wolves, all experienced killers kept quiet at first with very little sound from their murderous throats or their paws silently padding the terra firma canopy of the forest trail. They moved through the forest with the stealth of silence. Only the best of creatures could have heard them. The two-legged were doomed and without chance. The wolf pack would be feasting on flesh and bones in ten minutes as they salivated and moved ever closer to their unsuspecting prey.

      In a small clearing just off the trees at the base of a great cliff the mother and father were on the move walking beside the escarpment. The trees lined parallel to the cliff some 60 metres (197 feet) away. Two young children in tow and an extra one, a baby in arms. The oldest sibling, the boy, was but 7 years of age. The eldest daughter was 5 years of age and the baby girl was a mere 8 months old. The baby was in the Tikinagan or Papoose as some call it. They were lost, and in more ways than one. The father carried a stick for protection, or so he thought. He had sharpened the stick like a spear but he was out of his element. Surviving the night had not been easy but no dangerous creatures had bothered them. He had managed a fire but now they were on the move.

      The mother spoke first and she simple said, Stop!…Listen!

      They all stopped. Even the children were quiet. They had been trained since the very beginning of birth and knew exactly what to do. Like a fawn in the forest knows to keep quiet and still when danger might lurk nearby.

      The mother spoke again. I think I hear something?

      They all listened as best as their genetic human ears could. All the two-legged eyes scanned the tree line with hearts beating. Even the tiny eyes in the Tikinagan scanned the tree line as her tiny heart beat in her chest.

      The father said, Quick, we must move. We can not stay here!

      His eyes quickly scanned the landscape for a plan of escape but he saw none. He knew there would not be enough time to go the trees for safety. Yet that was the safest sanctuary but they would never make it. They all knew exactly what was coming. They had heard it before. The wolves were excited now and their yelps of excitement is what the family heard. They would be there shortly and they quickened their pace towards the fresh warm meat that was waiting.

      The father gave the command to scale the cliffs. It was their only chance. There was a small ledge up about ten feet from the base and if they could reach that perhaps there was a chance. The father put the two older children up on the wall of the cliff first and they climbed the face of the cliff like mountain goats with years of experience. The mother was next but even with the Tikinagan she too managed the climb. The ledge could barely accommodate them and the father began the climb as fast as he could but he didn’t make it. The wolves were there and they were too fast and cunning. The Alpha leapt and grabbed the father’s left leg just above the ankle and the man screamed in pain and agony from the powerful sinister jaws as they clamped and crushed down on his leg. The man desperately tried to hold on and not fall. He turned slightly and somehow managed to jab the spear he still held at the giant Ma’iingan but the Alpha felt no pain and held onto the food. The family above, all four of them were screaming and crying … even the baby. The three two-legged were looking for rocks to throw down upon the heinous pack of drool. There were only a few rocks though and those they pelted down, all to no avail. Suddenly the pack turned to look over their backs and even the Alpha male released the terrible hold on the food. All thirteen wolves were now turned … facing the trees. Something was coming and that something made the wolves stop. The father in the meantime with sudden freedom struggled to the precipice and his family helped him up. His leg was bleeding and it hurt but he disguised his pain and was fully focused on the danger below and what was coming? What could make a pack of very large wolves react that way? The family would have their answer. From the forest a giant Kodiak emerged and stood for a second determining the situation. The giant stood at least sixteen feet (5 metres) tall. A huge beast of great power and respect. What a magnificent but terrifying sight.

      The father, mother, and children stared at the giant Makwa in silence. Even the wolves were fairly silent.

      The father said to his family, We are not safe here. We are not high enough. The father thought to himself, We are all doomed to die.

      They all looked behind them but there was no way for them to go up. It was sheer cliff and could not be scaled. The father knew their only chance for survival was if the giant challenged the lupus pack, which was unlikely with thirteen of them. But then something happened. It dropped from the trees in silence beside the giant Makwa. How far it dropped the family was unsure but it was a great distance. It was a boy, a teen it looked like. He had squatted to lessen the impact and brunt of the fall. The teen stood up and although a giant teen himself he was but a dwarf beside the giant Makwa. All was quiet and the scene was surreal. It seemed as if even the trees were silent. Then the teen raised his head to the sky and gave a howl that sounded like a great wolf. The pack immediately reacted and began clicking their jaws and yelping and turning in circles but their eyes always facing the giant Makwa and the teen. The wolves it seemed understood. The giant pack was still and the father and family could see the pack were nervous … very nervous. The teen drew from his side a knife, a large stone knife, and held it in his right hand above his head, palm open with the knife balanced perfectly. The giant Makwa also raised his right paw, a giant paw to be sure, in unison with the teen. It was as if they were one. Then the teen howled to the sky once more and began to walk nonchalance towards the pack of wolves, the giant Makwa by his side. The pack was especially skittish but did not move away. It was as if they were frozen in time. When the teen was but 50 feet (15 metres) away from the pack he stopped and the giant Makwa stopped beside him. The teen was wearing a bear skull on his head and had some 13 stones around his neck in a necklace. An animal hide around his waist. Then the teen curled his lips, snarled, and let out a deep, guttural sound from deep down in his throat and chest that would have sounded exactly like and would have made any African Lion of the tundra proud. The hairs on the back and neck of every pack member immediate stood up and the father perched on the cliff noticed that his hairs stood up as well. The sound was simply incredible. That was enough for the pack and the wolves took off in two directions. One group of six to the left and one group of seven to the right. The family was in awe at the enormity of what had just happened.

      The teen was incredible handsome and what a specimen of humanity he was. Tanned and sinewy and a body that bequeathed unimaginable power for its’ size. They advanced closer to the family until they were but ten feet away. The teen turned to the giant Makwa and said something but in a language unbeknownst to the family. It was the ancient language and the teen spoke the language of the Makwa. The giant Makwa obeyed and turned to watch the trees for any danger or the return of the pack but they were long gone. The pack joined up in the forest about a mile away, (1.6 kms) their howls calling the pack together. They had no intention of going back though, even though their stomachs called for food. They had met the teen twice before, without the bear, and he was the only two legged they not only respected but were afraid of. Even the Alpha and the Beta who knew no fear in the pack had no gumption to face this teen.

      The teen turned to the family, who were all looking down at the him and at the giant Makwa at eye level in disbelief. The teen motioned them to come down with his hand. The knife he had in his hand returned to its’ sheath. The father thanked the teen profusely from above but the teen did not answer in a language the family understood. The father asked the teen if it was safe to come down with such a behemoth giant so close. The father pointed to the giant Makwa trying to make the teen understand. It was funny in a way because in reality the giant Makwa would have had no trouble reaching the perilous cliff the family was perched on. The teen seemed to understand the father and shook his head to affirm yes, it would be safe, and answered with voice of a different time.

      The father came down first, still quite nervous but once on the ground without incident started to feel a bit more safe. Then the two children were descending one by one and on the ground they too stared at the teen and at the giant Makwa. They had never seen either but the Makwa was so huge and they didn’t even think a Makwa could be that size. It was surely the largest carnivore they had ever seen. Then the mother passed down the Tikinagan and descended the cliff and once on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. She started to think her family and loved ones might be safe and live to see the sunset. The father spoke softly, and moved slowly, so as not to startle the giant Makwa but he need not to have worried. The father had questions but the teen only shook his head signalling he did not understand the language. The teen moved to the father and sniffed him, looking at him all the time. Such eyes as never before seen. The father
