Firefly Glen Calming Lights

Things unfolded like in a typical horror movie.
First - you got worked up by the surroundings, felt fear tingling in your fingertips and then creeping up your whole body. You grew more acute to the sounds and things around you. 
Second - your imagination began to play and draw various images of all the horrible creatures that could be lurking in the darkness and this particular place especially. And you rational part of the mind just went through the window.
Third... well, third is, when you see the actual monster. 

And since for Birk the order of events was exactly like this, his initial reaction to seeing the small, gray she-wolf that appeared suddenly from the hiding spot, was a high-pitched, unmanly squeal: "YIKES!" For additional effect he jumped and then scurried several steps backwards. "Bloody bejesus, you scared the hell out of me," he told the stranger.
