It was a relatively long drive to downtown, where the police station was located. Now that there was no emergency, Bob was driving at the slow pace of 20 mph.

Lily gazed out the window. They were not even halfway through the thick woods that covered the northern portion of the small town. Every now and then, she caught a glimpse of the bright, full moon, which illuminated the dark night.

Suddenly, the car jerked to a stop. Lily flew forward as a result of her momentum, barely managing to remain in her seat.

Regaining her balance, Lily looked up just in time to see a shadowy figure dart across the road.

Bob swore, and Mary smacked him on the back of the head, before turning around and asking Lily if she was alright.

"Yes," replied Lily, now wide awake, "but what the heck was that?"

"We're not sure. It looked like a wolf." Answered Mary, as she and Bob slowly exited the car, pistols in hand. "You stay here, Lily." She called over her shoulder.

Lily quickly slid across the seat to the right hand window, to have a better place to view what was happening. Then she rolled down the window so she would be able to hear.

The creature was on the side of the road, glaring at the two officers, eyes ablaze, reflecting the headlights of the car. Lily could just catch the glimmer of saliva on the barred fangs, but the rest of its body was enveloped in shadow.

Bob began to approach the animal, attempting to calm it down with phrases such as "It's alright girl,…or, err, boy" and "calm down, we ain't gonna ya any, that is, unless you attack us, then we'll probably have to shoot ya…"

Needless to say, these didn't seem to help any. Instead, the animal seemed to get even more agitated. It made a sudden towards Bob, who tried to move out of the way.

He wasn't quick enough, however, and let out a howl of pain as the creature sank its fangs, deep into his arm.

In order to attack Bob, the animal was forced to leave its refuge in the shadows, and Lily could now clearly see its whole form.

She stared at the creature in horrified fascination. Its head was that of a wolf, covered in thick, brown hair. Yet, its eyes shown with an intelligence not found anywhere throughout the animal kingdom. Lily's own eyes slowly made their down over the rest of the creature's body. The brown hair continued down over its shoulders, across its back, and onto its front and back legs, only not quite as thickly. Lily was startled to see that in the place of front legs, the animal had heavily muscular arms of, what seemed like, a man. As she looked closer, she noticed the ragged remnants of a maroon T-shirt stretched around its upper-body. Its legs were like that of a wolf, only twisted and enlarged. Protruding from the back of what once might have been a pair of khaki shorts, was a long, tangled tail, which added the finishing touches to a monster, normally only found in the nightmarish realms of the imagination.

In the meantime, Bob had managed to free himself from the jaws of the mutated wolf. Unfortunately, the arm it had chosen to lock onto was his gun-arm, and now hung limply, and useless at his side, the muscles torn by creature's sharp teeth. His gun lay on the ground forgotten.

"Bob! Are you alright?!" cried Mary, as he backed away from the animal, which had returned to the safety of the shadows. It would not remain there long, however, now that it had tasted the sweet flavor of human blood.

"I'm ok Mary." He said with a grimace. " Just lemme get my gun…" Bob added as he bent down to retrieve his weapon. Mary attempted to stop him, but it was too late. The half-wolf lunged at his unprotected back.

Mary could do nothing. If she tried to shoot the monster, she might accidentally shoot Bob instead. She also couldn't do anything manually, for fear that she might cause herself to get attacked.

Bob let out one more strangled scream, before falling eternally silent.

The creature remained there for a few moments, devouring the flesh of its victim. Mary just stood, frozen with shock and horror. Her hand fell limply to her side, dropping her pistol, with a clang, onto the pavement.

That was a mistake.

The half-wolf looked up, its eyes shining with anticipation at the thought of new prey. It slowly and stealthily made its way towards Mary.

The officer's eyes widened with sudden fear. She ran back to the car. She had just opened the door, and had been about to jump in, when the monster made a leap for her leg.

"Look out!" cried Lily, but she was too late.

Mary yelled in agony as she was wrenched from the car. As she continued to wail in pain, the creature locked its jaws around her throat, jerking its head, and snapping her neck, silencing her screams.

Lily let out a sob, choking back the vile she could feel rising in her throat. How could this be happening?

The monster looked up, noticing her for the first time. Its eyes began to glow with eagerness.

Lily leaned forward, trying to reach the door that Mary had left open. The handle was just out of her reach. The half-wolf began to inch towards, preparing for its lethal leap. Stretching her arm as long as it could go, Lily's figures closed around the handle.

Pulling back with her whole body weight, Lily managed to close the door just in time, causing the creature to slam painfully against the side of the car. It recovered quickly however, and its intelligent quickly began to search for another way in.

Its gaze fell upon the open window.

Lily noticed this too late, and the monster's head burst through the window. Lily shrank away from it, bumping her own head against the door behind her.

Luckily, the half-wolf was too large to fit through the small opening. With the use of its unearthly muscles, however, it was slowly forcing its way through.

Lily realized that if there was any hope of her surviving, she had to get out of the car. Reaching behind her, not daring to take her eyes off the monster, she found the handle, and began to turn it. Her hands, made clumsy by fear, took a few attempts before they managed to get it open. Lily stumbled backward, and out the door. Then she ran for her life.

The half-wolf was stuck, hanging half in and half out of the window. It struggled for a moment, using its strong legs to pry itself loose. Twisting like a cat as it fell; the monster landed nimbly onto its feet.

Lily ran into the forest, searching for somewhere to hide. Instinct told her to climb a tree. Looking around, she found a tall oak that had branches relatively low to the ground.

Grabbing hold of a limb, she swung a leg over, straddling the branch. Stopping to catch her breath, Lily listened, her heart rising into her throat at the sound of something crashing through the undergrowth towards her.

Lily lifted her feet onto the branch and stood, her heart racing. Pausing to find her balance, she lifted herself up onto the next branch.

And not a minute too soon. Where her leg had been not but a moment ago, there were now the gaping jaws of the half-wolf, eager to once again taste the sweet flavor of human flesh.

Lily continued to climb, until she was about 20 ft. off the ground. Then, checking to making sure half-wolf wouldn't be able to reach her, she leaned against the trunk of the tree, and cried.

(a/n ok, I'm betting a lot of you are now thinking, what the heck is Lily gonna do now that she's up a tree. Well, I promise that most of your questions will be answered in the next few chappies. I can't believe that this is already chapter 8, and Lily doesn't even know magic exists!! Well, anyway, the next update should be soon, as I'm almost done writing the next chappie. Thanx to all u faithful r/rer's, u know who u r!!)
