"Awwooo!"
Bernard had just rushed into the Forbidden Forest when he suddenly heard a wolf's howl. He saw Elisa's face pale with panic up ahead and stopped at once.
Behind him!
Bernard felt a gust of wind at his back and hurriedly dodged. A black figure brushed past him, its huge claws raking several bloody gashes across his shoulder.
A Werewolf!
How had the Werewolf from deep in the Forbidden Forest ended up here?!
"Expelliarmus!" Elisa fired a spell at the Werewolf as it lunged toward Bernard, who had fallen to the ground. She had to act.
"Get up, you idiot!" Elisa shouted, firing another spell at the Werewolf.
The Werewolf nimbly dodged the spell, giving Bernard a chance to catch his breath. He hurriedly snatched up the wand lying beside him and struggled to his feet.
A Werewolf's scratches weren't enough to turn him into one. He only needed to take Wolfsbane Potion afterward to be safe. Bernard immediately joined Elisa. They both understood that standing together was their only chance against the Werewolf's claws.
Bernard didn't want to die here.
Elisa glanced at Bernard and gave a faint smile before turning to fend off the charging Werewolf. It wasn't a full moon, so the Werewolf wasn't as strong as it could have been and still retained some reason. If the two of them held it off together, they might be able to drive it away.
Unfortunately, Bernard didn't see it that way.
The Werewolf struck Elisa and sent her flying. She passed out, and Bernard, behind her, fled with malice in mind. Elisa dying at the Werewolf's hands would be a very good thing.
"Whoosh!"
"Thud!"
The Werewolf was fast. Bernard had thought Elisa could hold it off for a while, but it pinned him to the ground.
