Elsie rushed into the forest, her sharpened end leading the way as she ran past the trees in a blur. Her thoughts reeled in as she did so, contemplating the reasons for the pack's sudden betrayal. It wasn't difficult to figure out the reason, but facing the reality was much harsher than she anticipated.
'Simply because I can't use the darkness attribute?' She wondered as her nose perched up in the air
"I see you!!" The loud, hoarse voice of Gonzalo Jean pierced through her ears, forcing a shiver down her spine.
She didn't need to look back for her to know that he was quickly gaining on her, and the thought scared her.
It was annoying as it was that she needed to face the pack once she got back to the tribe, but the thought of having to deal with the persistent human too annoyed her.
'Why are humans so bent on using us? We simply want to live our lives'. She growled lightly when the wind suddenly shook behind her.
Her hair stood on end as she felt a chill through the shadows as two arms suddenly emerged from the darkness with giant greatswords.
Their movement was quick and precise, descending towards Elsie like a guillotine, and forcing her to make a sudden change in direction.
Her body slammed into one of the tall trees, startling the arms of shadow and causing them to disperse, but at that moment, Gonzalo appeared, a wild smile on his face.
He chuckled madly as he swung his claymore across the air, forming a crescent arc in its wake as Elsie suddenly jumped into the air, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth.
She transformed into her human form as Gonzalo's claymore struck the tree with a sudden quake. Energy ripples spread through the air as she landed lighting on the claymore.
She grunted loudly, as she spun her body around and slammed the back of her right foot across Gonzalo's helmet, causing a sickening sound of metal breaking.
He groaned loudly as his head was nearly forced out of his body before being thrown away from the force of the strike.
Elsie landed on all fours, her gaze brimming with energy and fury as she suddenly charged after Gonzalo.
"leave me alone you stupid human!" She cried out as Gonzalo emerged from the rubble of fallen trees caused by his collision.
He laughed out loud as balls of red energy formed in the air, rotating and humming before projecting toward Elsie like missiles, causing loud explosions on impact with the ground.
Elsie dodged one after the other, her body moving like a slippery snail as she suddenly jumped onto the bark of a tree.
She climbed up, rushing towards the top, and jumped over to a branch, her mouth opening up as a ball of wind formed at the tip.
"DIE!" She exclaimed as balls of wind formed at the tip of her mouth and shot out like bullets, causing an implosion of wind to occur as it struck the ground and the trees.
Gonzalo ran out of the way, his heavy armor leaving a trail of shadowy footsteps as he did so. His gaze brimmed with excitement as he jumped into the air toward Elsie at an impossible speed to follow with his eyes.
Elsie growled in fury as she jumped out of the way, causing Gonzalo to charge into the tree and bring it down.
His body suddenly increased in mass as the shadows around him came to his aid, forming a sturdier, stronger armor. By now, he was far larger than Elsie ever was and an insurmountable strength was being suppressed within him.@@@@
"Mutt! I shall have you today!" he cried out as the red energy balls formed in the air, twice as large as he charged at her with the projection of the balls.

The words of Rabakar rang in her ear, and her breathing picked up even more, growing erratically by the second.
Gonzalo had noticed this sudden change, but he ignored it and continued moving forward. He slowly pulled out an iron collar, his goal fixed on capturing the wild wolf, but would his plans go smoothly?
'We are the fangs and claws that dwell in the darkness.....
The Moon calls our name but the darkness calls our might...
We are the dwellers of the unknown, the bearers of horror, and the personification of the dead.....
We are the darkness that dwells in our hearts...
Swallow it up.....
The light that pushes us....
The warmth that deceives us.....
Give way to the DARKNESS...'
Elsie's breath suddenly seized, and her heart thumped for the last time.
Gonzalo stopped in shock, his gaze scanning her body as a chill crept up his spine.
The air had suddenly gone quiet, as if the sound had been swallowed up, leaving nothing but a trail of black and white for his sight.
He was lost, confused, and his senses screamed at him, biting at him, gnawing at him, to back off and he took a large step back. Though, not quick enough.
A fog of darkness, devoid of light, suddenly swallowed Elsie like a nine-course meal, tendrils of shadows shooting out of its very being.
It suddenly sprung out like a catapult, striking Gonzalo away like an insect.
The sound of trees falling from the impact pierced through the air, but the sordid sound of tentacles slamming against everything in its path had replaced it completely.
The darkness warped, hummed, and vibrated, forming a thick fog that rose into the air, Elsie's figure completely overtaken by the might.
The night seemed to have been pulled by it, as it only got darker as if it were born to swallow the darkness of the night itself.
Gonzalo gasped in shock as he stared at his abdomen, groans of pain piercing the air at the sight of his armor clogged into his skin.
Bright blood oozed out like an open tap, while the sensation of pain completely overtook his very being.
He heaved greatly when he noticed four figures standing around him.
He sighed, taking a heavy breath as he said.
"What took you so long?"
