At first, Adrianna could only see them as silhouettes and their growls were carried by the wind. However, as they neared her, their fur became more noticeable. Their fur was not very thick and was colored, in whatever color their natural hair color was before they had become neotides. As neotides, they had only the killer instincts of a wolf and looked to be driven by revenge.

All of a sudden, one of them leapt into the air and attacked Adrianna. She ducked, making him miss her and jump over to the other side. He landed hard on his belly and whimpered loudly as it puckered and crouched with its tail down.
