Lupoaica a scheunat c\u00e2nd a sim\u021bit m\u00e2na lui John pe laba r\u0103nit\u0103. \u0218i-a tras capul \u00eenapoi, \u0219i-a ar\u0103tat col\u021bii, dar nu a \u00eencercat s\u0103-l mu\u0219te. \u00cen ochii ei nu era doar fric\u0103 \u2013 era \u0219i altceva. De parc\u0103 ar fi \u00een\u021beles c\u0103 omul \u0103sta nu venise s\u0103-i fac\u0103 r\u0103u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John \u0219tia c\u0103 nu are mult timp. Dac\u0103 nu o ajuta acum, lupoaica avea s\u0103 piard\u0103 \u0219i mai mult s\u00e2nge \u0219i nu ar mai fi rezistat prea mult. \u0218i-a dat jos rucsacul \u0219i a scos mica trus\u0103 de prim ajutor. Mai \u00eent\u00e2i trebuia s\u0103-i elibereze laba din capcan\u0103. Nu era o treab\u0103 u\u0219oar\u0103 \u2013 capcana era veche, ruginit\u0103, dar \u00eenc\u0103 puternic\u0103. A \u00eencercat s\u0103 o deschid\u0103 cu m\u00e2inile, dar metalul nu s-a mi\u0219cat deloc. A scos briceagul \u0219i a \u00eenceput cu grij\u0103 s\u0103 sl\u0103beasc\u0103 mecanismul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sim\u021bea privirea lupoaicei asupra lui. Era prea sl\u0103bit\u0103 ca s\u0103 riposteze, dar tot \u00eencordat\u0103. Din tufi\u0219uri s-a auzit un scheunat slab \u2013 puiul ei sim\u021bea durerea mamei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva minute, capcana \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it s-a deschis. Lupoaica \u0219i-a tras imediat laba \u0219i a f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i \u00eenapoi, \u0219chiop\u0103t\u00e2nd. John nu s-a mi\u0219cat brusc \u2013 \u0219tia c\u0103 dac\u0103 \u00eencerca s-o ating\u0103 imediat, ori ar fi fugit, ori l-ar fi atacat. A\u0219a c\u0103 s-a a\u0219ezat pe jos, ca s\u0103 nu par\u0103 amenin\u021b\u0103tor, \u0219i a scos o sticl\u0103 cu ap\u0103. A turnat pu\u021bin pe o bucat\u0103 curat\u0103 de p\u00e2nz\u0103 \u0219i a aruncat-o u\u0219or spre lupoaic\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Femela a mirosit p\u00e2nza, apoi \u0219i-a lins laba r\u0103nit\u0103 c\u00e2nd a sim\u021bit materialul rece. Era un semn bun. John nu voia s\u0103 o preseze prea tare, a\u0219a c\u0103 \u0219i-a \u00eendreptat aten\u021bia spre pui. Micu\u021bul se ghemuise \u00een tufi\u0219uri, cu ochii mari \u0219i speria\u021bi. John \u0219i-a \u00eentins m\u00e2na, dar nu se a\u0219tepta ca puiul s\u0103 vin\u0103 imediat la el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lupoaica \u00eel urm\u0103rea atent. De\u0219i era r\u0103nit\u0103, instinctele materne erau \u00eenc\u0103 puternice. Dac\u0103 John f\u0103cea ceva gre\u0219it, totul putea lua o \u00eentors\u0103tur\u0103 ur\u00e2t\u0103. A\u0219a c\u0103 a decis s\u0103 mearg\u0103 \u00eencet. A scos o bucat\u0103 de carne uscat\u0103 din rucsac \u0219i a pus-o pe jos, \u00een fa\u021ba lui. Nu \u0219tia dac\u0103 lupii vor accepta m\u00e2ncare de la un om, dar era singura idee care i-a venit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puiul a adulmecat \u00eent\u00e2i, apoi a f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i \u00eenainte. Foamea era mai puternic\u0103 dec\u00e2t frica. Dup\u0103 un minut deja ron\u021b\u0103ia bucata de carne, dar cu un ochi tot la John st\u0103tea. Lupoaica nu s-a mi\u0219cat, dar era \u00een continuare alert\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John a z\u00e2mbit u\u0219or. Primul pas fusese f\u0103cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soarele apunea \u00eencet, l\u0103s\u00e2nd umbre lungi peste poian\u0103. John \u0219tia c\u0103 nu o poate l\u0103sa pe lupoaic\u0103 acolo peste noapte \u2013 era prea sl\u0103bit\u0103 ca s\u0103 se apere, iar rana i se putea infecta. Trebuia s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 o solu\u021bie ca s-o ia cu el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I-a venit o idee riscant\u0103. S-a apropiat \u00eencet \u0219i a scos bandajele. Lupoaica a m\u00e2r\u00e2it \u00eencet, dar n-a fugit. John i-a vorbit pe un ton calm, \u00een timp ce \u00eei \u00eenf\u0103\u0219ura laba r\u0103nit\u0103. Femela s-a \u00eencordat, dar l-a l\u0103sat s\u0103 termine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd a terminat, s-a dat pu\u021bin \u00eenapoi \u0219i a tras aer ad\u00e2nc \u00een piept. Puiul \u00eentre timp terminase carnea \u0219i acum st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 mama lui. Dac\u0103 John voia s\u0103-i ajute, trebuia s\u0103 le c\u00e2\u0219tige complet \u00eencrederea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a ridicat \u00eencet \u0219i a f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i \u00eenapoi, d\u00e2ndu-le spa\u021biu. Lupoaica \u00eel privea nemi\u0219cat\u0103. John \u0219tia c\u0103 nu putea s-o oblige s\u0103-l urmeze \u2013 trebuia s\u0103 fie alegerea ei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S-a \u00eentors \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 mearg\u0103 spre p\u0103dure, dar f\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i, s-a oprit \u0219i s-a uitat peste um\u0103r. Lupoaica era \u00eenc\u0103 pe loc. A mai f\u0103cut c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i, \u0219i mai \u00eencet de data asta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva secunde, a auzit un fo\u0219net slab \u00een spate. S-a \u00eentors \u2013 puiul \u00eel urma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mama lui \u00eenc\u0103 nu se mi\u0219case, dar nu \u0219i-a luat ochii de pe el.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John s-a a\u0219ezat pe vine \u0219i a pus \u00eenc\u0103 o buc\u0103\u021bic\u0103 de carne pe jos. Puiul a luat-o repede \u0219i s-a \u00eentors la mama lui. John a\u0219tepta. Dac\u0103 femela voia s\u0103-l urmeze, trebuia s\u0103 decid\u0103 singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A trecut un minut. Apoi \u00eenc\u0103 unul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen cele din urm\u0103, lupoaica s-a ridicat. \u0218chiop\u0103t\u00e2nd, \u00eencet, dar s-a mi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John a z\u00e2mbit. \u0218tia c\u0103 \u0103sta era doar \u00eenceputul, dar era deja un pas imens \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cei trei au disp\u0103rut \u00eempreun\u0103 \u00een \u00eentunericul p\u0103durii, l\u0103s\u00e2nd \u00een urm\u0103 capcana \u0219i pericolul. Se \u00eendreptau spre necunoscut \u2013 dar m\u0103car aveau o \u0219ans\u0103 la un nou \u00eenceput.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
