My Most Precious Human

I thought I saw a wolf-shaped shade just around the corner. I flinched and ran in the opposite direction. I couldn't believe that the ones who were looking for me got here so fast. It couldn't have been merely the smell of my blood that betrayed my location. They must have known about it for some time.

“Could it be that they were sniffing around the town earlier without me knowing?!” I wondered in panic.

I had become careless. I had never made such a stupid mistake. I had been fooling them for years, and yet, I got myself in a situation when I was unprepared.

“I need to get home fast. I need to take my survival bag, then get to the train station. After that, I need to take the money from the deposit box at the station and get the hell out of here,” I planned in my mind while running.

Suddenly, I heard a deep growling sound coming from the alley right in front of me. I stopped. I saw three wolf-shaped shades ominously appearing on the wall of the building. I turned around and saw two other wolf shades in the alley behind me. I was surrounded. I sighed and tossed my purse onto the ground. Then I stood in a fighting position and clenched my fists.

“Five on one?! That is not very gentlemanly of you!” I called out.

The wolf-shape shades started to turn into human silhouettes…

“We don't want to hurt you, princess. Not unless you give us a reason,” the voice coming from the alley in front of me snarled.

Three men walked out right in front of me. They were all tall and their bodies were filled with muscles. I gulped and clenched my fists even harder, standing steady on my feet.

“Just give up. You won't fight us all,” I heard from the man who just came from the back alley.

They were coming closer, sneering, and looking me up and down with disdain. I took a deep breath.

“Calm down, Lilith. You have to calm down. Aim for the vital spots. You can do it. You can fight them and run away,” I talked to myself.

They stood in a circle around me. I kept glancing at all of them, turning around and waiting for the first one to attack.
