A wolf charges at me. I dodge. Their breath, I can feel it on my neck. It's hot and wet. It feels like fire. My Shadow rises from behind me. My eyes start glowing red. The other one jumps to the side of me. I slam my axe into it. I realize it's not flesh and blood. The axe goes right through. It's air. It's smoke.
"What are you?" I breathe.
"Something that can kill without being killed." The second one growls.
"Alright. This makes it harder." I mutter.
They charge. I jump back. My Shadow shoots forward and grabs one. He throws the shadow wolf into the other one. One fades away. I look around. It disappeared like fog. Where will it come at me from? The left? The right? Above? I look at the trees. I hear its growls. I hear the blood curdling noises. It jumps at me from behind. I turn and the thing sinks his teeth into my arm. I wince. My shadow pushes him off of me.
"Ow." I wince.
I draw back. I can't lead them into the house. They will slaughter them. I turn. I should lead them away. We circle each other for quite some time. My back is turned to the woods. I take another step back. They follow me.
"You should be running." The first growls.
