• I could feel blood dripping from my nose and into my mouth, saliva pooling under my tongue as I choked. The creature, although it was terrifying, had a sort of innocence in its gestures. It was smiling at me in wonder, unaware of the damage it was causing.
• Just as the creature went to put me back down slowly, I was dropped as it screamed. A large gray wolf had the creature in his jaws, tearing into it as the sound of screams filled the quiet forest.
