Claws of soulＩ

~Chapter 9: Disguise~

Gotta run, gotta hide.

I slowly took a step near the exit of the cave when-

"And where do you think you´re going?"

I felt parbreak as soon as Sierra´s tone came to my ears.

As she took her unpleasant pelage off her shoulders onto the ground, the wolves gathered around it strangely.

I felt gross barf from the back of my throat and forgot about my starvation, and that I ran while drinking way too much.

I stopped and turned around to open my mouth.

"I want to leave this place and find my friend!"

"Like ´that´? Pfft."

Oh. I was still a were-wolf....

As a parviscient like me, there was no way I could get out of this so easily...

 "Is there any way I can change back?"

The crimson hair colored woman -with a blink of an eye- directly appeared before me.

"Change back? There is most certainly no way that will happen.."

I jumped on my feet, still referring to the dirty blood on my fingers as the pain came back slowly.

"That can't be possible! Inject me back to human.. please!"

My started to sound more deep and dangerous.

 Sierra moved closer to me, cautious of what she is holding behind her back...

"You are staying like this.. FOREVER!"

I was about to lead out a loud howl when she came to me with the sharpest edge of a knife, coming towards my stomach.

No, this is a nightmare. 

A nightmare.

I felt fur grow on my hands and arms and something else...

Claws. 5cm long claws came out of my fingers quickly in a flash.

They were sharp and invincible..

Finally, without realizing what's happening,

 I used one of my claws to aim for Sierra's body as an attack.

I always thought she would want something from me and 'use' me

in such a way..

A sharp, yet fast scratch went for her warm polo shirt and broke the material, which dug into her skin very quickly.

Painful, but useful.

I backed off as she laid on the floor, struggling to get up and still has the knife in hand.

I slowly started to walk off again but..

'She is behind me...'

"Oi you bas-"

Pierce.

 A tiny prick encountered my back... the knife.

I felt my spine crooked and my bones broken.

If she has enough power, she would've killed me...

'W-what have I done to myself...?'

I didn't care of how painful it was, I had to escape,

find Kati and get out of this huge underground cave, fast!

"ha ha ha... I'll payback that shape-shifter thug... you'll see.."

Sierra broke down and fell to the ground, had a chance for me to escape fast.

"Now.. for Kati- ouch!" 

*sprints around the cave* 

I will not give up on anyone... anyone.
