Something was wrong.

The thick stench of blood was beginning to seep beneath her doorway and into her den, and though the cries and warning calls outside the den sounded less, they grew louder and louder as the creature advanced. She stood obediently against the wall for as long as she could will herself to remain, but as the trickle of crimson showed itself at her door her resolve vanished. Whatever was out there, it was indiscriminately slaughtering. I'm next. She thought weakly. If this is a test, I've failed it.

Her best hope was to remain unseen, which for a wolf as small as she was was not an impossible task. Zee willed her body to stop shuddering, though focusing upon the tensed muscles only coiled them tighter and intensified the vibrations.
