It was a cold night. My brother and I, Thomas, were out in the cold arctic freezing cold. We would have to travel 30 miles to get to our destination, a town, with only a shotgun with 10 shots, 2 blankets, and 4 water bottles and 4 canned soups. We took some bushes and found a flint rock to make a fire under a tree then gathered branches and built a shelter. He said I could take a rest so I did while he stood up guarding the shelter. I set up a place in our small uncomfortable shelter and went to sleep.

I Woke up at 3 AM to see Thomas still awake looking very tired. I told him I can guard now but he said he has it. I wasn’t tired and I insisted on doing it, but he wouldn’t let me and told me to go back to sleep. I took a water bottle and drunk a little saving all we have and watched Thomas guard. After an hour of nothing, I got tired and fell asleep. I woke up at seven to Thomas tapping me on the shoulder telling me it’s time to move forward. It was a lot colder and I wanted to stay near the fire, but I grabbed the stuff and went forward. After 7 miles, we were so tired and decided to take a rest. “Shh” Thomas said. And 3 howls coming from the mountain could be heard. We got up immediately and charged towards. We saw the wolves coming and we immediately shot fired towards them. We shot twice and hit once scaring the others off and kept running until 6 miles. It was super cold and we decided to take a break. I sat there shivering with no fire. We both got 2 cans and 2 water bottles then Thomas said, “want my water bottle?” I was almost out of water so I accepted and drunk half of it. Then he offered me his blanket knowing I was cold, but I knew he was cold also. I said no but he insisted. I said I wasn’t that cold then saying he was going to need it, then we fell asleep.

I woke up to Thomas sleeping, with his blanket tied to a blanket waving it in the air and a helicopter flying towards us. They came down and picked us both up and we were saved. Thomas gave me the rest of his water for the way back. This shows how Thomas is always there to give me something I want if he has it.

It was a horrid night. There was a cold breeze out in the night. Me and my sister, Veronica, were home alone. There were no sounds but the lone coyote. You could hear the howl of a wolf followed by 3 other howls. That means there was going to be a war. Me and my sister were sleeping in while the wolves and the coyote strike at each other. Something in the distance not a growl, not a howl, but a giant big RAWR. The coyote ran and the wolves marched while me and my sister were on the porch.

We were too young to know how to call the police or even use a phone so we waited and waited for the war to be done. Of course, the fearless wolves won and marched one by one at our porch. My sister told me to head downstairs and to lock the basement while she yells for help. She was calling for help but it was too late because, the wolves were hungry and angry. She does whatever she could to keep them away from the basement but there were too many and she screamed one more time for help then *BOOM* a gunshot scaring them away. this shows how her only objective is to keep me safe forever.
