Our knives pointing straight at their bodies, ready to be plunged in their skin. The wolves barked and sprinted towards us. I raised my knife, adrenaline pounding inside me, I was ready to strike the wolf when they come close enough. As the distance between us was shrinking, it was easy to tell which wolf was targeting who. The second to largest, the Beta, aimed for Sophie and unfortunately for me, I was in line with the path of the largest wolf, the Alpha.

It opened its mouth, revealing razor sharp canines and sprung into the air. I leaped into the air too, my knife driven to kill the beast. I lunged my hand at the wolf, the blade ripping into its chest as it went over me. I landed and swivelled on my feet, facing the wolf I struck. Looking at its wound it was merely a scratch. In the corner oft eye, Sophie also leaped at the wolf which targeted her, quickly lifting her foot she kicked it in the face. It fell to the ground, but only to land on all fours and growling louder. I heard footsteps from behind me, only moments before i could turn around, I was tackled to the ground. It was I top of me, my knife about a meter away from my reach. I held the wolf's shoulders to prevent its mouth reaching my face, saliva was dripping from the insides of its mouth when his jaw opened to take a bite out of me. I kicked as hard as I could into the wolf's private area. Earning a wine and it falling forward over me. I shot up from the ground, staring at it, then smirking. It's always the tender places that hurt the most.

Sophie was wrestling the wolf that  had charged at her, her's being bigger than the one I just dealt with. Then I realised I wasn't done with the Alpha. I looked back at the black wolf already charging towards me. I grabbed my knife from the floor, firmly holding it in my hand and charged once again. The beast was charging faster than before, this time I felt a real determination to put this wolf to sleep. I growled back at the wolf, before holding my arm out to re-strike the beast. I jumped as it jumped, however it's paws were out In front of me, getting hold of both my arms and landed on my back when hitting the ground. I groaned in pain as all the air was knocked out my lungs. I yelped as it felt like both my arms would crush under the weight of the wolf's paws.
"ELLA!" Sophie screamed down my ear piece. The Alpha above me growled viciously, opening its jaws to rip my head off. I tried stabbing it with my knife but my arms wouldn't reach as he pinned me down to the ground.
I turned my head to see Sophie, she tried striking the wolf with her knife but the beast grabbed it in its jaws and threw it away, also pinning Sophie down in the process.
"Sophie" I strained a whisper.
"Yes" her voice also sounding strained down my ear piece.

But before I could reply, the wolf leant in to attack my face. I quickly wrapped my legs around the wolf and kicked him with as much force as I could muster in its back with both boots. The wolf growled in my face so loud I felt like I was in the cloud of a thunder storm.
