”Put your hands on your head!” A scream broke the peace. Her eyes quickly formed tears, moving to all places: focus on her partner or find the threat? ”RIGHT NOW!” The tall woman complied. There was a chance of negotiation if they did as told, her rationale said.

”What do you want from us?” her associate said.

”Your human flesh.” A werewolf-looking person, its face covered by a mask, jumped from the adjacent building and approached them at a slow, menacing pace.

”Then come and get it!” His body language provoked the wolf.

”Are you out of your mind?!” Luna whispered, her panic deepening with every breath.

”I'm giving you the chance to live.” He pushed her away — tried to. The failure originated in her prominent physique. Taking its time to get to them, the wolf seemed to be interested in their unique reaction.

 

”Offer something else,” Luna said, finding reason amongst dire thoughts and shaky muscles.

 

”No.” The wolf's characteristic sensitive ear picked up on her murmurs and turned her down: bargain finalized.

 

”Alright then.” Her ally charged against the beast. This
time, Luna's legs took the decision for her, running straight to the car without a doubt. ”Run away!” he screamed. Keys were already in. She could drive away the moment he hopped in, he only had to come out quickly. he screamed. Keys were already in. She could drive away the moment he hopped in, he only had to come out quickly. She hadn't even checked her surroundings in case there were more wolves — she focused on the door, on hearing it open to step on the gas. ”Leave!” Seconds lazily passed by, refusing the completion of a minute. Eyes locked on the wheel, not looking at it, as the loud noises and grunts of pain filled a space that was otherwise a
cemetery of past metropolitan ruckus. ”GET OUT OF
HERE!” It was full blast now; the wind carried the command far and wide across the derelict neighborhood.
But she couldn't, not without him. Her left hand poised
to steer, right hand on key holding duty. ”LUNA!” His tone of voice set off an alarm inside of her.
