As if in answer, the wolf began advancing on them, snarling and growling, saliva dripping down its mouth leaving splatters on the ground. It bunched up its hind legs as it launched into a lunge. All three kids screamed out in fear and tried their best to dodge out of the way. The beast slashed at Romilda causing her to stumble and fall to the ground. It then pounced on her and snapped at her neck. Susan screamed again as she scrabbled away as fast as she could but the wolf kicked her in the head before slashing her chest with its claws. Colin nearly barfed on the spot but managed to get halfway down the hallway before being tripped up by his own feet. The last thing he saw was a mouthful of slimy, blood-tinged fangs bearing down on him and a flash of silvery white light.
