Gale was just glad to be alive. He thought back to what he had endured that morning and the forces that had tried to take his life. He thought of the creatures that had chased him through the wood, and seeing strange shadowy figures. (( Dramatic effect. Wasn't actually posted before. )) He felt something move within his blanket. He lifted the blanket a little and found Kye sleeping soundly next to him. He thought about all the things they went through together, and to think, that his entire life almost came to an end.
