Lurk heard a scream, and moaned. "Never try to show off, never try to show off." he said at himself, then turned back to a wolf.<br/><br/>He ran toward the sound, a shadow in the moonlight; going soundlessly over and around obstacles as only a wolf can.<br/><br/>He jumped over a large rock and saw Mia fall; with a snarl, he leaped at the black things surrounding her: he rashed into one, teeth-first, but it disappeared into smoke, and he fell sprawling.<br/><br/>Another raked his shoulder; Lurk uttered a startled yelp of pain, and jumped away; with a bloodthirsty howl, he arched his back and grew from a smallish wolf to a towering monster.<br/><br/>The shadow-things ignored him, turning back to the bleeding maiden, but Lurk didn't like being ignored: with a growl, he tore through them, long claws trailing smoke as he ripped them to shreds<br/><br/>In a moment, the black things were gone, but more were plainly out there.<br/><br/><strong>OOC: If there's anything you want me to do -or not do- just say so</strong>
