Cloaking spell

Joni had Manny had felt this pain this immense even on the night of the full moon. The witch had induced the pain to scold. Xander raised a hand at the witch and stopped himself from striking her.

He thought twice about her fading away again.

 "Stop!" Xander yelled.

 "You couldn't bear to watch me scold these insolent wolves?" the witch teased.

She swiveled her wrist and the young boys passed out cold on the ground. Xander crouched to their side to feel the pulse in their necks. He narrowed his eyes at the witch and rose to his feet.

 "Oh you think I killed them?" she clasped her hand over her mouth in pretense. She clutched down her palm on her arm and walked around Xander, "It is not my place to take the lives of these wolves. They have a calling of their own."

 "What happens now?" Xander asked with his arms folded. "Would have us fight you so you can trample on us to your heart's content?" he raised his chin.
