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
