they come at night- STRANGER DANGER!!

The woman was swift but not swift enough as Áskell's fangs found purchase on her belly. His abnormally long fangs sank in deep, spilling blood and tearing flesh. The woman screamed and twisted, her fangs digging deep into his back, just in front of his hips. Pain lanced through him like electricity, firing on every nerve. His legs quaked, suddenly struggling to support himself but he didn't need to worry as the far larger woman ripped him from her, throwing him into the bamboo. She swore violently at him before retreating to nurse her wounds. From his spot on the ground he could see what looked like her entrails starting to creep from the gaping wound he'd inflicted.

Áskell struggled to his feet, noting how strange his hind legs felt, like pins and needles racing all the way down them. Blood sopped down his sides. Ari shrieked out a warning and Áskell turned just in time to save his throat from a massive, rust-pelted male. The man bowled him back. Áskell's own fangs snagged the man's knee, digging deep just behind the patella and popping it loose. The man yowled and spun in rage, snagging Áskell's left hind leg in his massive jaws and with a powerful bite snapping it. Áskell screamed in pain, his vision swirling. Out of the darkness he saw Ari spring onto the wolf's back, wrapping a clay cutting wire around the beast's neck.
