Chapter 339
At that moment , I thanked the heavens for not sending me into this cave alone .
Thank Goddess Tabby had come with me .
Once I was ready , I shifted into my wolf form and lunged at the bear .
Yes , my wolf was much smaller than the bear, but she was fierce , and she wouldnt back down from a fight .
She also had very sharp claws , and her teeth did major damage when she bit .
Tabby backed away as I took over the fight , lunging at the bear and attaching myself to its back until it went down completely .
The bear growled and tried to swipe at me again , but it was too slow for my fast movements , and I bit into its neck , ripping it apart .
Blood pooled into my mouth , and I should have been disgusted , but I didnt .
I felt a strange sense of victory and a lot of pride .
Tabby watched in awe as I singlehandedly took down the bear .
Her eyes were wide as she kept her hands clutching the remaining rocks she held .
Once the bear was officially on the ground and struggling against me , Tabby took the initiative to retrieve the flag from around its neck , dropping the remaining rocks on the ground .
She also grabbed my clothes and started towards the entrance of the cave , not wanting to waste another moment .
I took her lead , and as soon as the bear was down , I chased after her , leaving the cave before the bear had a chance to wake up .
My fur was covered in the bears blood , but I knew it was still alive .
It would soon wake up and live life as if this had never happened .
I didnt kill it ; I only knocked it out .
Once we were out of the cave , I quickly shifted back into my human form and grabbed my clothes from her .
Even my human skin was covered in blood .
She fell over in a fit of laughter , tears in her eyes .
Holy shit ! That was insane .
Wait until we tell everybody what had happened , she laughed .
I couldnt help but smile , too , now that the adrenaline was starting to wear off , my heart rate had settled .
As if on cue , the drone returned and captured us with the flag .
I smiled at the camera , showing off the flag so everybody watching knew what we had just done .
The flag had some blood on it , too , from the bear .
Thats a really bad scratch , Tabby pointed out , glancing at my arm .
Itll heal , I told her , not worried about it ; shifters healed f Yeah , but you should clean it up anyway , she told me .
I nodded as we headed back to the campsite .
What happened to you two ? Sherry asked , rushing towards us .
When she saw the flag , her eyes lit up .
found a flag ? You Yeah , in a cave , I told her , Around a bears neck , Tabby continued .
You should have seen Judy .
It was incredible .
She fought a black bear in her wolf form .
Really ? Sherrys eyes lit up .
When she saw the scratch on my arm , her eyes widened .
Lets get you cleaned up .
We sat around the open fire , and Sherry , along with a few others on the team , helped clean and bandage my 1/2 +25 BO Chapter 339
wound .
We rested for the rest of the evening .
I didnt think I would be able to sleep , especially because we were on the ground , and it wasnt exactly the most comfortable situation , but I eventually got some sleep and didnt wake up until Chucks morning wake up call .
Okay , guys , we have two more flags to find , and we have to find them by the end of today .
We need to get back to base tonight , Chuck said as we sleepily gathered around the fire , bright and early .
The sun was barely awake yet , and some of the ones who did night watch hadnt gone to bed yet .
A couple of us should do some hunting so we can have food later , and well need more water as well .
Ive made a pin on certain areas we havent checked it .
They are closer to other competitors , though , so we need to be careful .
I have a feeling there will be a lot of fighting today , so we shouldnt travel around alone .
We all nodded in agreement , some looking more nervous than others .
Judy, because you and Tabby fought a black bear yesterday you both can rest for today and watch over the flags we got , Chuck continued , making me frown .
Id rather search for the flags , I told him .
I dont want to stay here and do nothing .
This is a team assignment , he reminded me .
We work as a team ; every layer is important .
We need those flags watched .
You did your part yesterday , and you did great .
Im not trying to take that away from you .
But the rest of us have this now .
We only have two flags to find .
Now that we are nearing the end , they are going to try and take our flags from us so we cant finish the competition , Sherry told me .
Your job is pretty crucial today .
Can we depend on you ? I glanced at Tabby, who only gave me a short shrug , and then I sighed .
Yes , of course you can , I assured them .
Well be here .
With a smile , everybody dispersed , leaving Tabby and me alone to watch over the flags .
