For one long second, everything was still. Then, all of a sudden, everything happened at once. Xavier snarled and charged toward the monster with open jaws. The creature dodged to the side so fast, it was a blur. Xavier stopped, confused, and turned around, where the creature slugged him in the side of the face with her fist. Xavier was sent flying into a tree, and the thing looked at us, as if challenging. Everyone rushed forward. Leader was madly giving commands in his head about where everyone needed to go.

Trace jumped high in the air and crashed down on the fiend, trying to slash her with his claws. To my horror, no indention, or even scratch marks were made. The beast kicked Trace in the shoulder, and a sickening snap echoed through the trees. Trace howled in pain but tried to keep fighting. Drew came up behind her and grabbed her leg in his jaws, yanking. With a metallic screech, the leg tore off. She shrieked in agony. Hopping around, but still just as fast, she clawed at my friend, getting his eye.

Of course Cameron was outraged. He head butted her in the side, causing her to fall over. Matthew, trying to use the pinning trick I taught him, jumped on top. She kicked him in the gut with her single leg and sent him sprawling. Immediately, I saw Sandler charging into the fight. I ran at her the same time he did. We joined tails and just as she was about to get up, she was hurled to the ground again. But like lightning, she popped right back up. Bret went in for the kill along with Matthew. Trace and Xavier were injured but Cameron and Drew ran in together as well. There was a huge, thrashing pile of limbs and jaws, along with sounds like snarling and yelping. The wolves had made a giant dust cloud around them, but I could get glimpses of my friends…being beaten. Beaten by a beast with only one leg. I was beginning to grow sick.

Just then, she ripped herself from the bloody mass. She stood about forty yards away from where she just was. Her shoulders moved up and down quickly. She looked at the werewolves who were just beginning to notice she wasn't there anymore. They were all panting, exhausted and in pain. Her fists clenched. It seemed like she was going to jump in the fight again when Erik slammed her from the side. It was an impressive sneak attack. He had her pinned on the ground, straddling her. His front paws restrained her arms on the ground, and his mouth was open wide, ready to slaughter her. But she ripped one arm free and slapped his face, dazing him. It gave the murderer enough time to pull her other arm free, grab hold of each side of his face, and twist hard, throwing him to the ground face first. She stood up. But I noticed something. She did it shakily, with effort. I thought for sure she was vulnerable.

I was ready to kill her. For destroying that innocent human. For hurting my friends. I ran at her, ready to end it. But just as I got to that horrid thing, she jerked her elbow towards me. I felt it slam against my ribcage. Crack. Crack-crack-crack. Four. Four ribs shattered. I fell to the ground and writhed in agony. The pain was overwhelming. My body couldn't take it, and neither could I. I cried out repeatedly, tears streaming down my cheeks. All of a sudden, she was there. Standing over me. The most hideous noise left her lips. She laughed. She laughed at my hurt, my torture. Then, she lifted a hand to end me. And there was nothing I could do. Our eyes met. Hers blood-red irises bored into me, and I knew she was ready to strike. I closed my own eyes and waited for darkness to swallow me whole.

Then, I heard something collide with the thing. I opened my eyes. Leader had tackled her and they were now doing a one-on-one. The sounds of their battle filled the air, chilling me to my broken bones. She was winning. She pinned him down and grabbed his throat. She squeezed. Leader realized what she was doing and his eyes widened. He thrashed underneath her in a desperate attempt to get out. She squeezed harder. His eyes bulged and he struggled still, making a silent coughing motion with his muzzle. Harder. Leader's kicking was becoming weaker and weaker. Tighter still. He stopped. His body went limp. The beast cackled. Just then, the most terrible, blood-chilling roar came. I was shocked to find it was me, and even more shocked to find that despite the pain, I was rushing at her at top speed. She barely had any time to react before I had her head in my humongous teeth, squeezing with all my might. I felt her struggling but I knew her attempt to escape was futile. Her skull cracked like an egg. I dropped her. My job was done.

But the pain came back, and with that came exhaustion. I collapsed. My heart was racing. I could have fallen into a coma right then and there, but I remembered something. I turned my head to Leader. His chest was rising and falling rapidly. With groans of pain, I dragged myself over to where he laid. I licked his cheek and whimpered frantically. "Leader, Leader! Oh, Leader. Please, no. No!"

"Addison…"

"What! What is it?"

"Take care of the boys…"

"No, don't do this to me! That scummy bitch is dead now! Dead! Hang on, just hang on! You're gonna be OK, do you hear me! Everything will be…" Leader shook his head pitifully.

"Promise me…"

"I…I…" This was it. Leader was going to be gone. I had to face the facts. I nodded and my words came out, strangled with sobbing. "I promise."

"Good. And…Addison," he murmured struggling to breathe and talk at the same time.

"What is it?" I asked.

"My name is…Luke." Leader plopped his head down. Blood streamed out of his muzzle.

"Goodbye, Luke," I whispered as I watched the light slowly leave his eyes, never to shine again.
