The wolf that had burst into the school, causing chaos and confusion, was part of a larger mystery, one that lay hidden beneath the earth in this forgotten well. As James’s light danced over the shapes moving below, he called up to her, “Are these the same creatures, Tina?”
“Yes,” Tina confirmed. “The pack…. maybe it was leading us here on purpose,” James’s voice trembled, his words echoing off the damp walls of the well. “It seems like they wanted us to find the critters trapped down here.” Tina, peering into the darkness illuminated by the shaky beam of James’s flashlight, felt a chill run down her spine.
