Lights flashed through the woods as black figures dashed through with such intensity and speed that all animals flew away at the sound of these approaching. Shouts occurred at various places, sometimes at spots in the woods where they discovered a white piece of cloth that had belonged to the missing girl's dress. After about an hour, frustrated swears split the air from the leading man in front. He was burly and tall, with a sharp nose and tongue. His eyes were so brown they could be mistaken for black. He was only a biologist but he persuaded the police to allow him with them for there were always strange sightings of beasts in these woods. He raised his left hand, and every man behind him stopped. The biologist turned and put a finger to his lips. A rustling could be heard nearby. He slowly turned back forward, and, surprisingly, stealthily ran a few feet ahead, and bursted into a clearing from the undergrowth of the forest. Nothing. Just matted grass and an old, rotted deer carcass. Another sharp sounding swear split the air and the men were told to turn around for the night.
As the men turned away from the clearing, the Biologist looked back and gave a deep, menacing growl from the bottom of his throat.
"You're one of us. Girl. They'll kill you as soon as they find out." And he left.

The shouting began to get closer and closer by the second. Clara began to grow fearful because nobody ever seemed to sound like that around her house.

Damn, I should've known! Achak curled his lips and barked towards other wolves who began to all sprint together in one direction. Get on my back. Now! He said, barking at Clara. She could tell in his eyes that he was fearful about something in the shouting.
Clara did what she was told, and grasped the wolf's long red fur for dear life as he easily caught up with the others by dashing off, launching himself several feet with each step. Achak had caught up with the leading Wolf in a matter of minutes. They barked back and forth, and seemed to decide on something because they had stopped a minute later and Achak fell a little behind her.
After spending a long while thinking, as the wolves ran continuously. Clara asked. Are we running away from the police? After not getting a response from Achak, she realized he wouldn't know what police were. They keep peace in human society, and protect people....and look for any that go missing. She realized she was missing from her human society.

Achak snorted. I see, they weren't just police. Not all of them. They are barbaric-

Then what are they? Clara asked, looking back thinking that some policeman would burst out of the bushes and pull a gun on her.
Carriers, Achak said after a moment of silence and the wolves began to slow down. Humans know them better as Werewolves, but they are not very alike. There is a legend, and I will tell you at dawn when you have gotten rest.
