From dormitory, I transferred to a boarding house for some reasons, it was located outskirts the University Wall near the vast woods, a creepy looking one.

It was already dark while I was on my way there walking just after hauling my things to get some fresh air, the road was empty. This particular side had no establishments and only occasional street lights that went on and off. It does feel creepy to walk alone in here but it is soothing at the same time. I don't know why but I feel like it. New ambiance perhaps, away from busy university streets with bustling students. My mind seems to think clearly a little bit. Just a little bit.

I heave a deep sigh as I was trying to figure out how am I going to tell my parents that I lost my scholarship. I wasn't myself this past few months. I didn't realize my grades were getting low. I deeply breath, releasing the tension that seems to build inside me, but failed to do so.

Something caught my eye that sends my heart skyrocketing, my blood seems to freeze and the air blows colder than it should've making the tiny hair at my nape stood up, keeping me from making any sudden movement. My trance halted automatically when a pack of eight wolves gallantly blocking my path.

WOLVES!!!

RUN!! I MEAN DON'T RUN! My mind screamed, panicking. No I can't run, this will only make me look like a flailing prey, which is a very bad thing. They're naturally predators, hunters. And I am definitely not willing to be their next happy meal.

They seem to be hunting or just roaming around the woods and just happened to wander near the road.

These woods must be one of those government protected animal sanctuary since there are wolves that still lives there. Were there Forest Ranger supposed to keep them away from attacking civilians?

Aside I can make myself look bigger so
they'll get intimidated however, I noticed that they were bigger than ordinary wolves.

You

especially with this one wolf that is bigger than the rest, he's taller than my 5'3 self with those all fours, he had an obsidian black and shiny fur that makes it more stunning and strangely beautiful perfectly blending into the night. If not from the defective street lamp I would have mistaken it as a shadow. I was kind of captivated by it.

It only leave me to one option, to bow down, that looks like you are curling into a ball without looking at them in the eyes hoping all that Animal Planet watching might paid off and they won't attack me.

My heart stops and my body goes numb and rigid, when the black wolf sniffs my head. This it! I'm gonna be dead. At least a pack of wolves will have a good night sleep and a belly full.

It huffs, then walks backwards. I dared to peak a little. There's something familiar with those eyes. No, my eyes were just playing on me.

Strangely it did the trick, they all walk away leaving me harmless but the obsidian wolf cast me one last long look before he took off into the woods with the rest of them had gone followed by a sorrowful howl that send tingles down to my spine, causing me to shudder.

I sigh in relief and disbelief.

"Wow! That was epic! Especially those big and scary kind of thing!" I exclaimed inside my head clearly having difficulty of processing the entirely recent occurrence. Astonishment and bewilderment still plastered across my face.

I quickly send a thankful prayer above for keeping me safe.

Heading straight back to my boarding house is the best option left for me rather than facing another wild creatures that might be lurking around.
