Wolf 1001 のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Colt POV2010 and I bring the deer back to camp and I show him how to gut it. He watches closely and I smile- this reminds me of when Andy helped the rest of us learn how to clean a kill. I miss him so much.“So, now cut links like this.” I say showing him, “Did you find the sticks I asked for?” I say, turning around to 2010. He hands them to me, and I smile, looking at the sharpening he did, “This is good. Now we just puncture the meat on the stick and place it over the fire, like this.” I say, showing him how. 2010 grabs what I cut and places it on sticks. Soon we have a ton of meat cooking and the aroma of the deer fills the air as 2010 licks his lips.“This smells amazing,” he says. I smile, “Way better than those MREs huh, and you haven’t even tasted it, yet.” I say, checking over the meat.I grab a stick off the fire and hand it to him, “Try it,” I encourage him.2010 takes a bite of the meat and his entire face lights up, “This. Is. So. GOOD.” He groans, devouring every piece o

Colt POV2010 is fast as he follows Ryan’s trail. I watch as he darts over logs and runs the forest terrain like he has done it a million times. This kid is fast, cold-hearted and the perfect machine-just like they trained him to be.He stops and sniffs the air and I hear water running. I look at him, “2010, wait.” I begin but he runs through the trees as fast as he can, and I follow him. Ryan said there were traps in this forest- this could be one.Once 2010 breaks through the thick tree line, we are standing in front of the river but at the top, looking over the waterfalls that cascade to the bottom. He stops and looks at me. His face is pink, and I can hear his heart beating at a wild pace, he is so excited.“YEAHHH!” he screams into the falls. I smile at him, and he smiles back, “I have never felt so alive!” he screams again. The water roars near us and then I smell Ryan’s scent again. We both turn around to find him standing behind us. His plan was to trap us against the falls

Colt POVI ring my clothes out and dry them next to the fire. I don’t want blood or the smell of blood on me at all. The bath I took in the river was refreshing and almost freeing, but I can’t get 2010’s voice out of my head, “If anyone killed me, I’m glad it was you.” His face is still flashing in my mind as he said those words.Tears fill my eyes as I think about everything that happened. When the knife plunged into his chest, and I felt his warm blood coat my hands- it made me sick. He was just a kid. Just like I was once. My family protected me until they left and then I was on my own, just like he was. That shouldn’t have been the way he was forced to grow up.2010 was forced to kill, maim, steal, and hurt his family group- just for fun. I truly do feel lucky that somehow, we had grace- even though it wasn’t much, it was a privilege no others got to have- a real family.We took care of each other when we were hurt, sick, or in trouble. We would sneak one another food if the punis

Colt POV My entire body hurts so much, and I close my eyes as I hear voices, “He needs the morphine. Without it, he could die, and then you will have a harder time finding them. I am telling you, 1005 is the key.” I hear the big man grumble, “Fine, but no special treatment and no real food. Only the broth we talked about.” The nurse agrees and I hear the big man walk out of the room as she quickly walks toward me, injecting my IV with the morphine, “1005, this will help you feel better. I am also going to add the vitamins and protein powder to the broth. You aren’t going to be very hungry anyway, but you’ll need food. He’s refusing to give you a feeding tube. He wants you to know just how angry he is.” I nod but my throat hurts and she gives me a glass of water with a straw. I sip it, and look up at her, “Thank you,” I whisper. The morphine begins to kick in and I go in and out of consciousness all day. This nurse has worked here for a long time. In fact, I don’t remember a time s

Colt POVThe SUV travels down the road and I sigh as I look at the interior. The chain they placed around my neck isn’t too tight this time. Dr. Norm told them they couldn’t hurt me, and I am thankful for that but yet, I feel stupid. She was never a nurse and she played me the entire time.She was one of the geneticists that created my family group? How did I not know this before? She has been around since I was born but she is the big man’s wife?! That I would have NEVER guessed.I sigh, leaning against the back of the seat. We have been driving for hours and my surgery incision hurts. I close my eyes trying to sleep when the SUV finally stops. I hear the driver’s door open and close, and Z comes around to the back and opens the gate, “Do you need to potty?” he asks, holding as a leash as a joke.I nod, scooting closer to him and he unhooks my collar, “Good, now go and 1005, you’re bleeding. See 3111 and have them take a look.” I look down at my incision and sigh- it is indeed blee
