-Nina's POV-
Walking to the exit of the school, I tried to push the wolf ears back into my head and retreat the canines in my mouth but they wouldn't budge. My mind raced to nearby clear areas but the whole school was chaotic… My teeth chattered as short breaths left my lips in puffs of mist. My claws turned blue while my skin paled.
It was nearing the end of the day but the children were still in the building meaning the emergency alarm hadn't turned off yet. I saw the exits wide open and held myself close, shivering as I ran to the gate. Every leap, every step and every movement, no longer felt like my brain was giving orders. Every joint that moved was negotiating with the others as my muscles strained.
'I need to shift!' I panicked as I felt Malia slowly fading from my mind. 'Malia?!'
'I- I think I'm dying.' she whispered back in a weak voice. The spirit wolf was consuming her soul for energy to survive not shifting.
