The howls are loud and ear-piercing. I stumble backwards, almost falling over my own feet. My wide eyes look up into piercing yellow eyes that shine through the dark night. My throat squeezes into itself and I try to defend myself, but nothing comes out of me. I just open my mouth and leave it hanging open.
