Steps out of the shadows, muscles tense, a low growl in his throat Your scent smells like heaven and your skin looks so soft.
swimming quickly to the edge of the river, eyes wide with surprise and caution Who are you? What brings you here?
Advances slowly towards the riverbank, his eyes fixed on Polenti I'm Bakugo, alpha of the Blood Moon Pack.
Heart racing, voice trembling slightly The... Blood Moon Pack? What do they want with me?
leans in closer, his voice low and commanding
Instinctively, Polenti backs away from the riverbank, trying to put distance between them What... what do you want from me?
Pauses for a moment, his gaze intense I've been drawn to you, Polenti.
Stammers, fear and curiosity mingling in their voice Drawn to... me? But why?
Takes a step closer, his tone firm and unwavering Because you carry a essence that calls to me, Polenti.
Breathing heavily, eyes darting around for escape or answers My essence? But... how?
Reaches out and gently touches Polenti's arm, sending a shiver down their spine
Quickly jerks away at the touch, gasping What... what are you doing?
His voice grows softer, but his intensity remains I'm trying to understand the connection, Polenti.
Voice shaking, Polenti takes a step back, eyes wide with trepidation Understand? How can you hope to understand... this?
Steps closer again, his voice filled with determination I will find a way, Polenti.
Desperation creeping into their voice, Polenti's eyes flicker to the dense forest behind them Find a way? That sounds... dangerous.
Without hesitation, he steps fully into the forest, the shadows concealing his next move
Follows hesitantly, looking around nervously at the darkened forest This place... it's so eerie. What now?
narrates: As Bakugo and Polenti venture deeper into the forest, they hear rustling leaves and an ominous growl from a nearby bush.
Startled, Polenti reflexively steps back and accidentally steps on a branch, which snaps loudly in the silence Oh, gods... what was that?
Instantly on high alert, his senses sharpened by the noise, scans the area cautiously Stay close, Polenti. We're not alone in here.
Whispers, panic rising in their voice Bakugo, what should we do? Is something out there?
Grabs a nearby stick, holding it defensively Stay behind me, Polenti. We need to investigate that sound.
Swallows hard, heart pounding, they slowly peek around Bakugo's shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of anything unusual Okay... okay... I see... something... dark... moving...
Notices the dark figure lurking behind the bushes, his grip on the stick tightens It's a rogue wolf. And it looks hungry.
Gasps softly, pressing closer to Bakugo, fear evident in their trembling form A rogue... wolf? How did it get in here?
Raises his voice to mask the sound of his footsteps, slowly inching forward We need to quietly and carefully move back and away from it.
Trembling, but tries to steady themselves Lead the way, Bakugo. But be careful... it might charge at us!
Moves stealthily from tree to tree, guiding Polenti to a safer distance from the rogue wolf Keep low and stay behind me.
Following closely, whispering urgently It's... it's backing towards us... do something, Bakugo!
Quickly spots a nearby rock and reaches down to grab it Cover your ears, Polenti! And prepare to run when I give the signal.
Quickly covers their ears, eyes wide with anticipation Right... right, ready...
With a swift and precise throw, Bakugo hurls the rock at a distant tree trunk, causing a loud ricochet Now! Run!
Heart pounding, they swiftly turn and start running alongside Bakugo, guided by his urgent lead Running... running! What's it after?!
As they run, Bakugo notices a narrow cave entrance ahead, his voice calling out to Polenti There! We can shelter there temporarily! Hurry!
Breathing heavily, but driven by fear and urgency, Polenti darts towards the cave entrance with Bakugo That cave... it should protect us... I hope...
The cave entrance is just meters away, both Bakugo and Polenti dash inside, and once safely within, they pause to catch their breaths.
Panting heavily, leaning against the cave wall for support We made it... inside... but what now? It's still out there...
Looking around the interior of the cave, searching for any useful items that could help secure their safety There should be some dry branches...
Noticing a small pile of dry branches in the far corner, quickly moving towards them Let's... let's gather those, quick, before it comes near the cave entrance...
With swift movements, Bakugo joins Polenti in gathering the dry branches, his thoughts turning pragmatic We'll fortify this entrance.
Working together, they begin stacking the branches in front of the cave entrance, their movements hurried but determined It's... it's starting to block the view... good... that's good...
As they continue fortifying the entrance, Bakugo notices a small underground stream flowing nearby, his voice suggesting a plan Polenti, we need water to fend off the rogue. Can you fetch us a container from the stream outside?
Nods, understanding the importance of the water, and quickly exiting the cave to retrieve a suitable container from the stream I'll be quick... back with the container...
While Polenti is retrieving the container, the sound of rocks falling from the forest above startles them, hinting at the rogue wolf approaching the stream.
Startled by the sound, but quickly regaining composure, Polenti hurries back to the cave with the container in hand It's... coming closer... hurry with the branches!
Noticing the urgency in Polenti's voice, Bakugo redoubles his efforts, helping to reinforce the barricade with added speed and determination
