MARIYOSA THE SISTER'S CURSE

CHAPTER 9

RANGERS FOUND STRANGERS

It was another day to Mr. Paul who was a forest officer for 10 years, his day started very normally until he got the unusual call from the city, it was not a good news. The call about an unusual call and a truck which entered the forest illegally. Now he loaded his guns with shots, took his jeep to forest with his companion, Jacob to the forest. “ what with the guns, is anything serious?” Jacob asked not knowing the reason for the sudden actions, “ maybe” was the reply he got “ don’t you know?” Jacob questioned “ not fully, I got a call from city an unknown number about an illegal trafficking of animal in a truck through this region and another an official call regarding an accident in the forest as for the specific details unknown. Let’s pray that both should not be the same” said the elder officer Mr.Paul, Mr. Jacob as an officer of fewer experience couldn’t get hold of situation but the senior know it was not a peaceful day anymore. Mr. Paul was tensed and nervous throughout, he had a strong intuition whatever in the truck is dangerous. As they travel through the familiar path they saw very few animals Mr. Paul knows something is definitely wrong here, as he drove he saw something unusual so stopped to look by. As he went near found the broken truck as he looked inside the truck and the broken regions he would feel the animal inside is not safe by the level of protection he could guess it is not only to protect the animals but protect others from the animals. He looked at Jacob “ we need more force by the level of protections and safety whatever in it was more dangerous and precious, can you see here the glass is broken someone is injured beyond so he can’t move himself someone or something must carry them. From this truck seats only two can rode so a single person couldn’t have moved another who is equally injured” he explained to his partner. He went near the truck and continued the drive. If they stayed long time it may endanger them. Now Jacob knew the danger lurking here though not completely whatever it is may hunt everything, in a short distance they saw a swarm of birds fighting for something as they neared they saw it, a half eaten body with countless marks left by claws, beaks, and more. But by the look of the tattered dress she must be someone rich very soft and silky dress shined under light, then at a point he noticed something the birds in the ground which were ignoring their presence now flew to safe distance, Paul shouted at his companion “ Jacob go to the jeep, start the engine, inform the higher up now” Jacob was startled by the continuous commands as he reached the jeep, he saw Paul walking towards him but before he could the culprits of the unidentified body all rounded them now Jacob knew the danger they are facing now. Somehow Paul entered the jeep Jacob raced with wheels and hunds on the back Jacob, as Jacob drove through Paul took the wireless and tried to contact for backup “ Mayday.. mayday… this is Paul from pine woods we need a backup force we are under attack by a pack of wolves we have no idea how many are there too more than ten or so, very aggressive one and much stronger…..oh no…. ahh” he want to continue but before he could, a large wolf hit the jeep both fell down, Jacob was thrown out somewhere in the bush before he could get up he saw as the wolves surrounds the jeep. Jacob looked at Paul who was struggling in the jeep he took his gun signalled Jacob to escape. Paul knows one of them will die today so he tries to distract the wolves, he took the gun and aimed at one wolves as they neared he shot a wolf as others attacked him. Jacob who was running heard Paul shouting knows his end ran somewhere anywhere he say a way.

He saw a road in the way ran towards there he turned and saw as few wolves on his back he ran without looking anything failed to see the tree root looking up he fell down rolled and he saw the wolves stood at a distance as he lost his conscious gradually.

He never knew in a milliseconds by few centimetres he escaped his death, but unknown to him he entered another death door with den of animals of all kind who will not leave a bone. He opened his eyes rubbed his head stood up and started to walk front saw a gate with a word Lockwood engraved the gate is locked he want to enter in so he moved around found a place through which he managed to enter, he was too weak and lost his conscious. The person who escaped a death door entered the mystery door but he don’t know that wood welcome the guest but too greedy to depart them. Will he depart alive?
