With her heart pounding, Tina followed the wolf as it led her out of the main door and into the open. The cold air bit at her skin, but she barely noticed. The wolf moved with purpose, occasionally glancing back to ensure she was still following. Behind her, she heard the sounds of the police officers backing away in fear, their shouts fading into the distance.
As the wolf crossed the dew-covered grounds and headed towards the woods, Tina quickened her pace, determined to keep up. Despite the fear and uncertainty, Tina knew she couldn’t turn back. The sense of urgency grew stronger around them, making every leaf rustle and distant owl hoot feel more intense.
