Aurora awoke with a yelp of pain. There was a searing, aching pain in her leg, like something was... [i]biting her[/i]? What? Her eyes snapped open, and she looked down to see a grey-coated male wolf with his teeth around her left back leg. He was staring at her. His eyes held a crazed expression in them, and he did not let go of her leg. She continued whimpering as his teeth remained clamped there, drawing blood.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

His eyes told her he was debating whether to let go or continue biting. She could feel blood trickling down her leg. Still, he did not let go. She figured he probably was not going to. Suddenly, her resolve hardened. "If you're going to eat me, at least kill me first," she growled, narrowing her eyes and baring her neck to him. "Do it quickly. Otherwise, get off my leg."
