The air thickened with tension; a suffocating silence warped between us. Lila slowly shifted, placing herself in front of me, directly towards the danger. My body tensed, unease creeping down my spine as the wolves continued to approach at a slow pace, the steps of a predator with the intent to kill flaring in their eyes.
“You need to run.” Lila’s instructed under her breath, “I’ll create an opening.”
My brows furrowed, pinched with worry. “I’m not leaving you.” I declared.
I was blatantly aware of our situation; they had the upper hand. We were outnumbered and the only one who could spare evenly with them was Lila. Without my weapons, my confidence crumbled to dust.
Against full-fledged wolves – I was powerless.
For the first time in a long time, I tasted fear like a bitter tonic, spreading like poison in my veins. These wolves were playing with us, giving such opportunities only meant you were confident in victory.
And they probably were.
