Haunted Wood Out like a light

What a strange smell. Clarence flattened his ears and tipped his head to the side as he followed it. The smell was almost sour, unlike anything Clarence had ever experienced before.

The piebald boy perked his ears when he spotted the creatures - they weren't too far from his size, with big paws and short tails like Santiago. Definitely not wolves and definitely not creatures who belonged here.

With a growl, the boy lunged forward, getting himself between them and the prey they were heading for. Perhaps he'd be able to scare them off.
