The darkness pressed against the room like a physical weight, thick and suffocating. There was no warning—only a sudden displacement of air. Before Sapphira could turn, a heavy weight slammed into her chest, driving the air from her lungs and sending him crashing to the cold floorboards. In the dim light, she catches coarse fur brushing her face, and a hot, rancid breath heavy with raw meat fills the room.
Then came the impact of the jaws. The wolf locked onto her forearm, the intense pressure knocking her to the floorboards as it struggled for dominance. A sharp, overwhelming sensation flared through her arm, making her breath hitch in her throat. She could hear the frantic scuffling of paws and the low, guttural growl vibrating from the creature's chest. While the animal's form remained a shadow in the gloom, the weight and ferocity of the movement signaled that the confrontation was far from over. The wolf attempted to knock down Sapphira but she twisted away and the attempt was foiled.
