Break...away from everybody...away from everything

The boy had finally begun to emerge from his shell, curious about playing this game with Maka and Demonio. He stretched his body towards Maka this time, Ears forward in intense interest. "That...sounds like fun. I wanna play, I wanna hide too! Is that al--" The boy startled when he heard another voice behind them. His words cutting off instantly as the coldness of her words chilled him. He whipped around to face the newcomer, the faint smell of blood tainting the air that followed her. His heart thudded against his chest, eyes locked onto hers with fear. What did she mean by killed like prey? Did this game involve being killed if you were found? Maka hadn't mentioned that...why was he so scared of this woman? Indeed, the color of her eyes struck him dead. His paws frozen with fear for a moment, locking him in place. "Wh...what does she mean Demonio?"

He gasped and scooted back a few inches when the woman stuck her face in his. His ears flew back and the boy scrambled backwards until he backed up into Demonio's legs. Startled from the encounter with the woman, he turned over, falling forward as he scrambled to huddle behind Demonio's front legs. He curled up tightly like a cat would, ears flat against his head as he peered out slightly from his hiding place. He swallowed as his hear pounded in his chest. He was sure the man above him could hear it, as well as the rapid breaths that parted his small jaws. This she-wolf scared him...and he didn't like her presence here...
