Alone

It was a sunny but windy day. We had decided to go camping for a little change in our boring lives, we had been on camps many times before so we thought that we were the experts of the wild. We took our van to a very big yet untouched forest. We hadn’t brought any wood thinking that we could find them in the lush forest, if only we had known what this would bring our fates to.

I and 2 of my friends volunteered to find some firewood while the others set up the camp. We went deep into the forest with our compass as our guide, we passed through rivers and many wildlife structures such as anthills and fox hideouts but we had forgotten to take into account the time we were spending in order to find the most perfect firewood. Soon before we had realized the sun was setting and the moon was sticking its head out the stars. When we decided to turn back, we realized why we were going in circles, the compass was broken, it was probably due to the magnets of our camping gear.

Since we were so far from the main camp we divided to survive the night out in the wilderness, we tried not to panic and started working, I found some branches to cover our shelter and my friends found clean water and a safe place for our camp. As the night continued the howls of the wolfs felt closer and closer and the wild life started to creep on us, then suddenly 10 maybe a dozen wolf started their ambush when we had realized this and reached for our torches it was already too late, we couldn’t save our friend but thanks to him we got a chance to run away. When we thought we could catch our breaths for a minute we heard a giant roar between the caves, it was huge brown bear. We both started running as soon as we saw the creature but I was the faster one who got to live but my fate wasn’t still secure as the pack caught up to me, I hid inside a cave, I am currently writing this in case I die, please don’t let our stories be forgotten.
