One Snowy Night, page 6
Look after her.
I went upstairs two at a time. I found the kid’s door and nudged it open. I hopped on to the bed next to her and curled up on the duvet near her feet, purring and purring.
I’ll stay for an hour, I thought. No longer…
But I was still curled up there purring when I woke on Christmas morning.
“… and then your great, great grandpa jabbed that mean old wolf in the bottom with his antlers!” said Erwin’s dad. The moose swung his own large antlers and bashed a low tree branch, showering his son with snow.
“What happened then?” asked Erwin. His parents had been telling scary stories about wolves all afternoon and this one was his favourite.
“Well, they say the wolf yelped so loud that it echoed through the mountains – mountains – mountains!” said Dad, changing his voice so it sounded like a distant echo. “And the wolves never troubled him again.”
“Great, Great Grandpa must have been very brave,” said Erwin. “If I ever meet a wolf I’ll jab him in the bottom too!” He galloped around his parents, jabbing his imaginary antlers at an imaginary wolf.
“But the point of the story is to stay away from wolves,” said Mum, nudging Dad.
“Yes, that’s the real lesson!” Dad said quickly. “Wolves are very dangerous. Listen to the forest and look out for their grey fur and pointy ears darting between the trees. And if you do see a wolf you must always hide or run away.”
“I will,” said Erwin, dashing off to find a wolf to hide or run away from.
“And don’t go too far!” Mum called after him.
“I won’t!” Erwin called back. “Though I wish I had an exciting wolf story of my own,” he whispered to himself as he climbed up snowdrifts and stalked around pine trees. But he knew there were no wolves around. His mum and dad were so good at listening out for danger that he’d never even seen one.
Erwin was so busy searching for adventure that he didn’t notice how far he’d travelled or that the snow was falling harder. The young moose had lost his way before and had always followed his own tracks back – but this time they were all covered over by the heavy snowfall.
“I don’t want an adventure anymore,” said Erwin as the wind began to whistle through the trees. The sun had almost set and he was feeling very small in the large twilight forest. He knew not to call out because it might attract a wolf, so Erwin crept though the trees, twitching his large ears at every sound and searching the moonlit snow. He was looking for tracks, his own or those belonging to his parents, but the ones he found were made by wolves. And there were lots of them.
Erwin saw a wide circle of paw-print tracks all around him, threading in and out of the surrounding trees and bushes. It looked like a wolf pack was searching for something, and the snow was falling so hard he knew the tracks were fresh.
A twig snapped in the distance and Erwin froze, flicking his ears in that direction. He heard panting breath and the crunch of paws on snow, then he quickly hid behind a bush, holding his breath as he peeped through the low branches.
Erwin expected a large pack of wolves to appear, snarling and drooling like those in his dad’s stories. So he almost gasped when a lone wolf cub crept into the clearing. She was panting hard, like she was tired from having made all the tracks by herself, and sat under the bush to catch her breath. The wolf cub looked every bit as scared as Erwin felt and he could hear her whimpering softly. Seeing her large ears droop sadly in the moonlight, he immediately felt sorry for her. The young moose recalled his parent’s warnings, but he couldn’t just watch another animal in distress. Erwin gave up his hiding place and stepped into the open.
“Hello,” said Erwin, keeping his distance, just in case she turned out to be mean like the wolf from the tale with his great, great grandpa. “I’m sorry to bother you, but are you all right?”
“I’m fine,” said the cub as she quickly sniffed back her tears.
“My name’s Erwin,” said Erwin, lowering his head in a sort-of bow.
“Lucia,” said the wolf cub, nodding politely.
“Pleased to meet you, Lucia,” said Erwin. “Are you sure you’re all right?”
“To be honest, I’m a little lost.” Lucia shrugged, shaking the snow off her fur. “I was playing away from the pack and the snow came in from nowhere…”
“The same thing happened to me!” said Erwin. “Now I can’t find my parents.”
“I’m sorry to hear that,” Lucia said kindly.
“I’m sorry you got lost too,” said Erwin. “What a mess we’re both in.”
“Well, at least we’re not alone anymore,” Lucia added brightly.
“I guess so.” Erwin frowned. “But I’m meant to stay away from wolves.”
“I suppose that’s sensible. Everyone knows that wolves and mooses can’t really be friends,” said Lucia, thinking hard. “But these are special circumstances, aren’t they? I already feel better having someone to talk to. How about you?”
“I do feel a bit better,” Erwin confessed.
“Good!” Lucia smiled. “Because I’m just the friend you need.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think I can help find your parents,” said Lucia.
With this the wolf cub lifted her black nose high in the air, turned her head this way and that, and trotted around in a peculiar dance. She seemed to follow wherever her nose wanted to go, even if that was where her new friend was standing.
“What are you doing?” asked Erwin, hopping out of her way.
“The weather is too bad for me to find my own parents, because I’ve lost their scent and can no longer track the pack along the ground,” Lucia explained. “But my nose is always good enough to sniff out mooses.”
“I managed to hide from you,” Erwin stated proudly.
“Actually, you didn’t,” said Lucia.
“Oh…” Erwin swallowed.
“This way!” Lucia said cheerfully and set off through the trees. “They do seem to be quite far off but the scent is strong. I imagine that’s because they are working so hard looking for you.”
“I suppose so,” said Erwin, trotting alongside. He thought about his parents and how worried they must be. “Your mum and dad are probably out looking for you too, I expect.”
“I can’t find their scent so they must be searching beyond the forest, but I don’t know which way they’ve gone.” Lucia sniffed the icy air and changed direction. “And it’s much too cold to wait out in the open.”
“I’m sure my mum and dad will look after you when they find out how you helped me,” said Erwin. And while he was sure that was true, he was unsure how they might react when he returned with a wolf.
The unlikely pairing of moose and wolf ran through the night forest, swapping stories to raise their spirits and so they wouldn’t lose each other in the blinding blizzard. They covered a lot of ground and felt like they were the only creatures in the whole forest.
“It is getting awfully cold,” said Lucia, her teeth chattering as the freezing wind began to bite through her soft young coat. “Everyone else must have seen this weather coming.”
“We do seem to be the only animals out in it,” Erwin agreed.
“Not quite,” said Lucia. She stopped in a small clearing and looked ahead.
Erwin drew along beside her and followed the wolf cub’s gaze. Through a thick veil of swirling snowflakes the young moose could just make out two shapes forming in the dim grey moonlight. First he saw his dad’s proud antlers turning as he searched among the trees, and then caught sight of his mother’s worried face.
“Mum! Dad!” he yelled. “Over here!” Erwin raced towards his parents who huddled around him to shield him from the wind and share the warmth of their bodies.
“We searched all over,” said Mum, nuzzling his face.
“However did you find us?” asked Dad.
“My friend found you!” said Erwin, pushing his way back out into the wind. But as he scanned the clearing Lucia was nowhere to be seen. “She was right behind me!”
Erwin’s parents ran after him as he dashed about looking for his friend. Finally he spotted Lucia curled up in the snow, drifts forming around her small body.
“Oh goodness,” said Mum. “We have to warm the poor thing.”
“Let’s get her out of the snow,” said Dad, and lifted the wolf cub gently by the scruff of her neck. They made their way to shelter under the wide, low hanging canopy of an old pine tree.
“I never would have found you without Lucia,” said Erwin, crouching next to his friend as she lay on a soft bed of pine needles. His parents gathered round to keep them warm, and everyone sighed with relief when Lucia eventually stirred and stretched. She opened her bright blue eyes and looked about.
“Did we find the right moose?” she asked Erwin hopefully.
“Yes,” he smiled. “This is my mum and dad.”
Erwin’s parents made a big fuss of Lucia, feeding her winter berries and making sure she was well enough when she got up and moved around. The wolf cub was grateful but once the blizzard died down, she was keen to find her own family.
“Follow us,” said Erwin’s parents.
The moose family and the wolf cub headed back out into the snowy night.
“What are they doing?” asked Lucia as Erwin’s parents moved quickly uphill, ploughing a path through the deep snow, their ears turning and twitching, as the young ones tagged along behind.
“Listening,” whispered Erwin. “They can hear everything.”
Lucia couldn’t hear anything until they came up over the last hill and she caught the sad cries of two familiar voices howling at the moon. Her parents had left the pack to find her and were now out on a rocky outcrop, calling out to her.
When they saw their cub, the wolves raced down to the edge of the forest where Lucia bounded out to them. They huddled and howled for joy as Lucia told them everything that had happened. The two families kept their distance and nodded respectfully, because everyone knows wolves and mooses can’t really be friends. Then they turned and went their separate ways.
As the mooses headed back into the trees, Erwin had to content himself with having the best wolf story ever, though he also knew he would miss Lucia very much. The young moose looked back just in time to see the wolf cub bounding back towards him while her parents waited. She skidded to a halt in a shower of snow and they rubbed their cheeks together.
“Friends forever?” Lucia whispered in his ear.
“Friends forever,” said Erwin.
