When Lola and the wolf were locked in a stalemate, she was so panicked at the thought that she couldn't fight with so many wolves at a time, that she said, "Mr. Wolf, please let me go!" Lola begged the two wolves in front of her.
It didn't matter for Lola whether they could understand what she said or not, and she kept speaking to them, "You see, I didn't kill you just now. So please, just return me the favor. I have to provide for my parents, grand-parents, and also my three little ones... Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, please let me go!" She bowed to the wolves with her hands tightly folded.
In her situation, survival was the first choice!
And it worked, because they didn't hurt her. So Lola was quite pleased. She knew that wolves were fierce animals, and that they hunted their prey the second they saw it.
"Are they full? Hum, that's the only explanation," thought Lola.
"Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, please let me go. If you do, I'll fetch you something to eat." She didn't know whether the wolves could understand her or not.
After she stopped talking, within half a minute the wolf that was biting her pants loosened its bite.
And the same happened with the other wolf that was biting on her military coat.
Lola was surprised, and said with her hands folded, "Thank you very much, Mr. and Mrs. Wolf!" She turned around and heard gunshots coming from the cave's entrance. Someone was about to shoot!
"Stop! Please stop!" Lola couldn't see who it was. It didn't matter who was aiming the weapon, she just didn't want him to shoot.
After assuring her that he wouldn't make any more moves, she picked up her flashlight to see who it was and found that it was Harry.
Harry came to her right the moment he saw her. But when he saw the wolves beside her, he was terrified.
He raised the weapon again. "Baby, don't hurt them!" Lola stopped him again.
Harry was confused, and while staring at her, he asked, "Lo, are you OK?" He didn't loosen his grip on the weapon, and quickly moved forward.
When he was outside, he was thinking only about her, and when he heard her cry, he became terrified.
However, he was surrounded a lot of people and couldn't get rid of them quickly enough.
He became more anxious by the second. He managed to get rid of them quickly with Jordan's help and then rushed towards the cave's entrance to see what had happened to her.
He somehow saw that someone was surrounded by some shadows. Then he heard her mumble something about Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, and that's when he guessed that she was actually surrounded by a pack of wolves.
And she really was! However, why did Lola stop him? These were wild wolves that jumped on you the second you let your guard down!
"Honey, I'm fine!" Lola strode outside with her heart still hanging in her chest.
She was afraid that Mr. and Mrs. Wolf would regret their decision and eventually devour her.
Her tense nerves were finally relieved when she hugged Harry tightly in her arms.
Harry felt relieved seeing that she was OK. Although the wolves were fierce animals, and could've hurt them at any time, he eventually decided that he can't let them live.
Harry raised his gun and pointed it towards the beasts again, but Lola anxiously stopped him. "Honey, don't kill them!"
"Why?"
"They were just biting on my clothes but they didn't kill me." Lola explained to him what had happened and tried to tell Harry about the wolves' kindness.
He was confused, but he eventually lowered his weapon and looked at the anxious woman beside him. He wouldn't believe his eyes, that wild wolves were sitting right in front of them and weren't attacking them.
