Chapter 11

Shin, who saw the wolf was terrified, not because of the gigantic sharp teeth, but all the arrows that had pierced it's body - 31 arrows.
The white wolf then shifted its gaze towards the pup, who was staring at her, oblivious to everything happening around him.
"Are you alright?", the wolf asked which Shin understood, but didn't reply.
Scared, he glanced at the wolf, a word coming out subconsciously, "Monster."
While in his terms, it would be a praise, but the wolf standing in front of him, flinched upon hearing that. Both his ears that stood tall, fell… in sadness. It's eyes filled with tears momentarily.
Moments of silence surrounded them, only the flicker flames audible. But the silence broke as a cry pierced the air.
"Attack!", one of the humans shouted.
Hearing this, the wolf shook his head, bidding farewell to his tears as he too, shouted at full volume, "RUN!" sending the tiny white puppy into a sprint toward the nearby body of water.
'What's happening?', Shin was confused as this action of his, was out of his control. 
With unparalleled instinctual ferocity, the baby animal leaped into the air and hurdled itself directly into the tranquil lake below.
The larger white wolf stood guard valiantly, intercepting another arrow launched from afar. Terror-stricken, the little pup watched helplessly as the giant arrow thudded deep into the wolf's chest, this time, right into the heart.
Its heart, once beating with courageous purpose, stilled.
'That wolf… protected me.'
'But why?'
But before he could piece together the fragments of truth, the unforgiving waters claimed him and dragged him deeper into the unknown abyss beneath the surface.
'I... I can't breathe!'
