Soon, we heard a wolf's howl.
It was much louder than Kate's earlier howl and carried a hint of authority. More howls were heard, but none louder than the first, as if to surround and set off the first person.
I felt like a pack of wolves surrounded us, and my body began to tremble. I tried to grab Kate's hand, only to find her body trembling. It seemed that she was not as confident as she said she was.
Our clenched hands gave us strength.
Then, the howling stopped. I heard more and more footsteps. It was the sound of claws scraping against the ground. Every sound was heavy, which meant that everyone who came was a tall warrior. Now we were surrounded by their low howls, echoing back and forth in the dark forest.
I saw the shadows moving quickly through the forest. They were coming toward us, and I was afraid again.
I was afraid that they would suddenly come and tear us apart.
