Claudine and Ezrianna walked hand in hand through the forest, talking about silly things; the only sound apart from their voices was the crunching of leaves beneath their feet. The moon cast eerie shadows on the trees, making them seem to twist and writhe like living things.As they turned a bend in the path, they saw something move. They weren't scared, but they became very cautious, and then a figure emerged from behind a tree. At first, they thought it was one of Denzel's pack members until he turned and snarled at them.Their hearts skipped a beat as they froze, fear creeping up their spines. The werewolf took a step closer, its eyes fixed on Claudine. She tried to step back, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot. Ezrianna tried to push her behind her, but Claudine was paralyzed with fear.And then, the werewolf attacked.It lunged at Claudine, but Ezrianna stood in front of her. Stay away from her, Ezrianna said confidently. Just after she finished her sentence, the werewolf grabbed her by the n, and, and threw her.Ezrianna tried to fight back, but the werewolf was too fast. It turned on her, its claws swiping at her with deadly precision. She tried to raise her hands to defend herself, but the werewolf was too powerful.It pinned her to the ground, its claws digging deep into her shoulders. She tried to struggle, but it was too strong. The werewolf's hot breath washed over her face, and she knew she was doomed.Leave her alone, Claudine said trying to move the Werewolf's hand despite knowing that it was dangerousThe werewolf wriggled his hand and sent Claudine flying, she hit her back on a tree unable to stand she lay there cryingAs the werewolf's claws dug deeper into Ezrianna's shoulders, she felt her strength fading. She tried to summon her magic, but the werewolf's power was too overwhelming. It was as if it had been waiting for her, anticipating her every move.Just as the werewolf was about to deliver the final blow, Ezrianna remembered the words of an ancient spell. She whispered them under her breath, feeling a surge of energy course through her veins.The werewolf hesitated, its claws pausing in mid-air. For a moment, Ezrianna thought she had gained the upper hand. But then, the werewolf's eyes flashed with anger, and it struck again.Ezrianna felt herself being lifted off the ground, her body slamming into a nearby tree. She slid to the ground, dazed and disoriented.As she looked up, she saw the werewolf standing over her, its eyes blazing with fury. She knew she had to think fast or risk losing everything.With a surge of adrenaline, Ezrianna reached deep within herself, summoning every last ounce of magic. She felt the power coursing through her veins, building in intensity.And then, in a burst of light and energy, Ezrianna unleashed her magic. The werewolf stumbled back, its eyes wide with surprise.For a moment, Ezrianna thought she had won. But then, the werewolf began to laugh. Its eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, and it spoke in a voice that sent shivers down Ezrianna's spine."You think you can defeat me?" it growled. "I am the master of the night. And you, little witch, are no match for me."The werewolf took a step closer, its eyes fixed on Ezrianna with an unnerving intensity. She tried to stand, but her legs felt like jelly. The magic she had summoned earlier was fading, leaving her vulnerable."You should have stayed out of this, little witch," the werewolf sneered, its voice dripping with malice. "Now, you'll pay the price."Ezrianna tried to defend herself, but the werewolf was too powerful. It pinned her to the ground, its claws digging deep into her shoulders. She felt a searing pain as its venom coursed through her veins. Seeing that Ezrianna was already weak, he left her and turned to Claudine. She tried to run, but she was too weak to get up from the ground.He picked her up its fangs bared. She tried to scream, but her voice was cut off as the werewolf's teeth sank into her neck. She felt a searing pain as its venom coursed through her veins.After biting Claudine the werewolf turned to Ezrianna to finish what he started, he pulled her up again pressing her throat and making her gasp for airJust as all hope seemed lost, Claudine stirred. The werewolf's bite had left her weak, but she refused to give up. With a surge of adrenaline, she launched herself at the werewolf, determined to save her friend.The werewolf turned, its eyes widening in surprise. Claudine tackled it, her arms wrapping around its waist. She felt its hot breath on her face, its claws swiping at her, but she refused to let go.Ezrianna took advantage of the distraction to summon her magic once more. This time, it was stronger, more powerful. The werewolf stumbled back, its eyes wide with fear.Together, the two friends managed to overpower the werewolf, banishing it back into the night. As they lay there, panting.Ezrianna's vision began to blur, her body numb and unresponsive. She tried to move, but her limbs felt like lead, refusing to budge. The werewolf's attack had left her weak, her magic drained.Claudine lay beside her, equally helpless. The venom from the werewolf's bite coursed through her veins, spreading its dark influence. She felt her body changing, her senses heightening, but she couldn't move, couldn't fight it.As the venom took hold, Claudine's thoughts grew cloudy, her mind fogging over. She felt herself being pulled into a dark abyss, unable to resist.Ezrianna's eyes locked onto Claudine's, filled with a deep sorrow. She knew she was losing her friend, unable to save her from the curse.With a faint whisper, Ezrianna spoke her final words: "I'm sorry, Claudine... I couldn't save you..."As the darkness closed in, Ezrianna's gaze remained fixed on Claudine, her heart heavy with grief. Claudine's eyes, once bright and full of life, now seemed dull and distant, consumed by the venom's power.The two friends lay there, helpless and still, as the night closed in around them...
