Glazed Part Twenty-Six

Hi everyone!

Wow! It's been so long since I posted a Glazed part! If you need to have a refresher of what happened last time, here's the link- LINKEDY LINK LINK.

“What?” Emma cried, straining her eyes to see through the filmy fog for whipped cream wolves as Wes had said. Spoiled? Emma shuddered. Becoming a spoiled food was a nightmare of all of the dessert people. She had never seen a spoiled food and she didn't want to. They were said to have lost their minds and became crazed.

“Go, Crumbles, go!” they both urged. Flashes of green, brown, and white whizzed by them and Emma could smell the stench.

“Ugh! Is that what they smell like?” Emma gasped, gagging. Wes nodded and bent over the back of the sleigh, where the supplies were. He fumbled with a torch and light until the torch lit up. He handed the torch to Emma and she grabbed it with gloved hands. She could smell the spoiled wolves gaining on them. She twisted to face the wolves and waved the torch.

That's when a wolf came into view.

Mostly gray with black spots and green streaks, the wolf was horrid. With a foaming mouth and scraggly fur, it looked just as insane as Emma had been told. And there were more with it. She couldn't hold back her shudder as she inched as far away from the edge of the sled as possible. A wolf lunged for the sleigh and Wes grabbed an unlit torch and whacked it in the jaw. Emma grimaced when she noticed several teeth fall out of the beast's mouth.

“Don't get bitten! Their bites are poisonous!” Wes advised as he hit another on the head. It's spotted body fell off the sleigh and Emma kicked a wolf which was climbing up the side. She knew that if one of them bit her or Wes, then they themselves would become spoiled, too. Her heart sped up. Her wolf fell off the sleigh, unconscious. The wolves began to fall behind inch by inch, but a new problem was arising. Emma glanced at where they were heading and she gasped.

“WES!” warned Emma, grabbing hold of his sleeve. Ahead of them was a gorge and Crumbles was racing there, the wolves still in pursuit. Wes whizzed around and his eyes widened.

“Jump, Crumbles!” he ordered. He grabbed Emma and threw her onto Crumbles sugar coated back. Emma clutched his harness, biting back a scream.

Wes cut the rope tying the sleigh and Crumbles and Emma gasped.

Was he going to fall into the gorge?
But her thoughts were cut short as Crumbles pushed off from the edge of the gorge and sailed to the other side. Emma's heart caught in her throat and her insides felt like they had left her body. Crumbles landed and she was almost thrown off balance from the impact. He ran a couple more steps farther for safety then looked back to see where Wes was.

The sleigh had lost its momentum and only got a couple feet out when it began to plummet into the gorge. Wes threw himself out of the sleigh, his arms outstretched. He managed to grasp the edge of the cliff and pull himself up with the help of Crumbles and Emma.

“Are you okay?” Emma asked. He gazed down to the gorge where the sled had crashed.

“Yeah.” He groaned, burying his face in his hands.

Feeling guilty, she looked down the cliff spotting the remains of the crushed sleigh.

“I'm sorry about that.” Emma hesitated. “I'll go now, and you don't have to help me. You've already helped me get this far. When I get back to my castle after this I will send you a new sleigh and all of the things inside of it, I promise.” She took a deep breath. “Bye.”

Emma turned to the forest and continued hiking when Wes sighed and yelled, “Wait. We're coming.”

“Oh!” Emma turned around. “Thank you! I really am sorry about your sled, but I'm glad you decided to come.”

Wes trudged to her and lifted a pack he had grabbed from the sled before it had fallen.

“I'm only coming so I can guarantee a new sled. ”

Crumbles pushed in between them and Emma draped her arm across the reindeer's back, ignoring Wes' remark.

“This may be the start of a beautiful friendship!”

I hope you enjoyed this part! I had fun editing it, since that's what I do for every part before I post it even though I have already edited it once before.;)

P.S. My spellcheck says that "spoiled" isn't a real word. Sometimes, spellcheck isn't right.XD
