I closed my eyes. I thought I was done for.

I could almost feel the wolves' hot breaths as they came closer, panting and salivating. Soon, though, they were gone, and I was back on my feet, holding tightly onto Blake's hand. We ran in silence, saving our breath until we reached safety.

In the distance, I saw a house atop a small hill-- my house. It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. I opened the door, we both ran inside. I locked the door as soon as Blake ran through. We were bent over, panting so hard.

"Are you okay, Blake?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just really tired. I hope we lost them."

"Why did they turn into wolves, Blake? Blake, what are we going to do?"

"Alyssa, we will be fine, okay? We're in your house. Let's go upstairs and do some research on these wolves. I'm pretty sure they're werewolves. But that's crazy, of course," he laughed. "Werewolves... existing."
