Phantom Hollow Beings that live off our fears

With the wolf's greeting, Hiraku managed to relax a bit. However, what happened a few days ago still made him very tense. At the very least, he knew this wasn't some kind of supernatural creature, and that he had a chance to escape. The fox nervously pawed at the ground, hoping that this wolf wasn't holding up a front to a more-vicious part of herself. "You could say that. I've been chased for a while..." He bit his lip in fear, then continued, "You're not going to kill me, right?" he tried a smile, but his nervous eyes left him tense. Even if the wolf said no, he had little hope that she would keep to that statement.
