Phillip slowly climbed in next to Suzette, that warmup with Anna made him want to have Suzette, but he decided it was cheating to do so. She turned around and closed her hands around him.

"You back?" She whispered.

"Yes"

"Hmm, now i can sleep soundly"

He smiled and embraced her, holding her tightly he soon fell asleep aswell.

'Phillip'

He found himself on a wooden railway, somewhere in a forest, the moon gave alot of light, so he could figure his surroundings.

'Phillip'

That voice again. He saw down the escalated railway line a figure standing, far down.

"Hello!?"

'You came to rescue Bertus, how valiant'

"Who are you?"

The figure seemed to start walking towards him, then running, as it came closer its size doubled.

'You came to rescue Bertus, but you will suffer the same fate as he did!'

Phillip felt his heart climb up his throat, the figure was a wolf, a big one, it came flat out at him, he turned to run but fell, his foot stuck between two wooden boards.

"O fok!"

'Now you can't run! And never will!' The wolf roared out speech as it jumped up and came down on him.

Phillip screamed flying upright in the bed, realising it was a nightmare he looked over at Suzette, yelling like that might have woken her, but she was still sound asleep. He sighed and lied down, closing his arms around her.

'CRNW' She whispered again. He lifted his head to look at her face, but infront of him next to the bed a large black wolf came out the dark and snapped it jaws shut infront of him, the "TOK!" Of its slamming canines inches from his face made him scream again and fly out of bed. This time he was up for real.

"Phillip!?" Suzette asked dumbfound.

"I?" He looked at the place where the wolf came out of the dark, there was no real dark patch there to begin with, the light of the fire had the whole room lit up orange.

"Are you ok?" Suzette asked again, Phillip felt the hardness in his one hand, somewhere in his leap out of the bed grabbed his revolver.

"I had a bad dream"

"The war again?" She asked as he sat down. Deciding not to scare her he nodded.

"Yes, that"

She drew him onto his back and mounted him.

"Then lets clear your mind" She said opening her cotton pajamas button for button.

Benson was having coffee when the two joined him, he stood up and offered them a cup aswell, by which they accepted.

"That Rhodes said the paranorm team will be here in a few minuites, we can go with them to that kill site again" Benson said handing theim their cups.

"Ok. Last night Anna said she will help us try figure out whats going on around here" Phillip said

"She did hey? Bout fucking time"

The park rangers were waiting in their Jeeps, the paranormal team im their van.Benson, Suzette and Rhodes waited in Phillip's Jeep whilst he went to knock on Anna's door, but she didn't answer, he tried again but nothing. Slightly angry Phillip jumped into the vehicle.

"Wierd, usually she'd open after the first knock" He said and they drove off, Phillip even went as far as to leave his AK in the cabin out of respect for her.

At the kill site the team started setting up their gear, the head of the group was a a skinny man named Mark, his camera assistant a large man named Ivan. Then there we're two women, a blond short girl named Leanne, and a tallish readhead named Victoria. Phillip assisted with torchlight as they unpacked and saw Leanne's face, her blue eyes seemed worried as she watched the dark forrest.

"You ok sussa?" He asked and she smiled at him.

"You normal people never beleive me if i tell you i feel things, no one ever believes a paranormal team"

"Try me, ive seen enough wierd shit trust me"

She looked into the dark again "I feel bad vibes here, evil vibes, unrested souls, roaming the forest"

"Lost souls?" Benson asked.

"Yes, but, somehow it feels like the souls serve purpose, and isn't totally lost"

"What does that mean?"

"I met alot of people who were possessed before" She said and looked at Suzette strangely "But, i dont know what this is, it feels like, soulless embodiments being possessed"

"What the fuck does that mean?" Benson asked again.

"Possessed animals, roaming in the forest" She said worryingly.

"You ok?" Phillip asked and she smiles halfly.

"Yes, we are here to put the souls to rest after all"

"If you people will excuse us, we need to start working now" Mark said and they started leaving.

"Them too" He pointed at the rangers who stayed behind with the rifles.

"They are here for your protection" Rhodes said.

"We have our own weapons" Ivan said drawing a nine millimeter pistol. Rhodes looked at Phillip dumstrucked, Phillip only shrugged.

"Ok fine, knock your selves out" Rhodes said getting into the Jeep with them, both he and Phillip couldn't care less about an arrogant dumbass with a gun.

"Did you tell him about the size of the wolf?" Suzette asked.

"No" Rhodes said.

"I know hes a little full of himself, but i feel sorry for Leanne, she seems to know what's going on" Suzette said as the saw her looking at them, her face sad. Rhodes sighed and climbed out. There were three Jeeps full of rangers with them, he went to one.

"Listen guys, this son of a bitch thinks hes the all mighty with that toy pistol of his. As we drive off douse your lights then turn back, hide close by. If you hear screams come to help" The men nodded.

Back in Phillip's Jeep he nodded "Sorted"

"Good, tell me quick Rhodes, you know the area well right?"

"Been here more than twenty years so yes"

"Are there any spesific point where hikers, or mountain bike drivers unexplainably dies?"

Rhodes got worried "well, alot, so bad in fact we close the reserve during the months of night just to prevent it"

"Can you take me to one?"

Rhodes looked out of the window thinking, then pointed "There's one place like that a few miles from here, drive ill show you"

They went deeper into the forest, the gravel paths got rough, but not tricky, Phillip was looking around for any abnormalities, any rock formations, or open areas that would look ideal for a wolf ambush.

"Here" Rhodes said and he stopped. Glacier to the right, and forest to the left dropping into a small valley. Rhodes climbed out and waited for Phillip to join him, he then pointed down into the forested valley "Down there"

Phillip saw, about a hundred and fifty meters down, a small mound, but it looked man-made.

"You see that mound, people want to go down there and see it, it looks man made right? But i cant tell you exactly what it is, because everyone who went down there got killed, and the survivors were too focused on running to take a good look at it"

Phillip scanned the forest with a spotlight, it was dead quiet, if wolves have set up an ambush here, experience would have told Phillip, but he didn't see any signs of animal activity

"Ok stay here" He said and walked forward.

"Uuh!?" Rhodes stuttered.

"Relax" Phillip drew his revolver "My weapon is a cannon, not some peashooter"

Rhodes sighed and nodded, waving at the rangers in the other Jeeps to join them.

"Rifles ready men" He said drawing is own colt 45.

Phillip went down very slowly, stopping, listening, proceed two steps, stop and listen. Animals move with four legs, and there are alot of downfall foliage here, he knew he would hear something if there were anything. Now five meters from the mound he kneeled and scanned the forest, the light will illuminate eyes of predators no matter how far or how well they are hidden, again he saw nothing. He proceeded very slowly, the mound seemed like a heap of leaves and dirt, rocks here and there, he reached out and brushed some away, there was a rather smooth stone there, but suddenly the howls came through the forest, but unlike the normal wolf howls it sounded odd and distorted, hollow in some and gurgling like howls in others.

"Run detective!" He heard Rhodes scream from above and the shots started firing. Phillip didn't even look to see if he could see the wolves, he turned and started scaling the hill again.

He dared glance over his shoulders and as the area was cold of the snow an icy sight met him. There were wolves everywere, the bolt action rifles above boomed and Rhodes' Colt also barked rapidly. Phillip made it to the Jeep in time, the darkness made the wolves seem like shadows darting through the trees, but as the lights caught them it revealed a terrifying thing about them. Everyone jumped into the Jeeps and they sped off deeper into the forest.

"What the fuck were those things!?" Benson yelled looking back out the window.

"Wolves right?" Phillip asked focusing on keeping the vehicle straight.

"No, not wolves, something else" Rhodes said reloading his Colt.

"What else?"

"Like zombies" Suzette uttered completely stone cold of fear.

"Bullshit right?" Phillip said glancing at the rest, their faces didn't lie.

"You had your back to them detective, we saw everything" Rhodes said. Phillip frowned at him but looked forward just in time to slam the brakes. An avalanche closed the road up ahead and they couldn't proceed.

"Fuck" Rhodes said rubbing his brow.

"We can find another road right?" Benson asked.

"No, this was the only other road that lead back to Chitina"

"So, we have to turn around? Towards those things!?" Benson bellowed.

"If that's the case i suggest we get these Jeeps turned around before we get cornered" Phillip jumped out and headed to the other two Jeeps, he told the rangers to turn around and follow him closely. He'll flash his hazards to indicate the start, they will race through that section as fast as they could, all who has weapons must fire if needed to.

Phillip hopped back in and turned the Jeep around.

"Rhodes, get ready to use that colt again, we're speeding through there"

Rhodes nodded and lifted himself up out of the sunroof.
