Canis?"
"I don't know if Canis can hear you," a growling voice said from within the bushes, "but I certainly can."
Sabrina studied the brush, trying to find the source of the strange, yet familiar voice. She heard rough laughter that seemed to come at them from all sides. Finally she spotted a pair of eyes peering back at her, and then a monstrous figure pushed forward, uprooting an unfortunate tree that was in its way. When the creature was out in the open, Sabrina nearly screamed. Standing before her was a wolf as big as a grizzly bear, though it stood on its two back legs like a man. It snarled and snapped at Sabrina as it looked over the girls curiously.
"The Wolf," Daphne gasped.
The girls stumbled backward and fell to the ground. Sabrina's mind was reeling. What had happened to cause Mr. Canis to lose control of himself? Why had he let the Big Bad Wolf loose?
The Wolf stomped forward, shoving its snout into Daphne's face and blasting her with a foul spray.
"Don't try to run, girlie!" the Wolf said as he snatched Daphne by her coat and lifted her off the ground. "You'll just build up my appetite."
Sabrina was terrified, but she couldn't let her sister be hurt. She leaped to her feet and rushed at the Wolf with her fists clenched. She was met with a painful backhand that sent her slamming into the ground. Her shoulder fell hard on a stone. She cried out and forced herself to stand. Her arm didn't feel broken, but the pain was excruciating. She knew fighting was pointless.
The Wolf is too big and strong, but I have to do something.
She spotted a sharp black rock on the ground, snatched it up, aimed, and flung it as hard as she could. It hit the Wolf and bounced off his chest like she had tossed a peanut at him.
"Was that supposed to hurt?" He laughed.
"No!" a voice said from behind Sabrina. "But I bet this will!"
A flaming rocket blasted past Sabrina and hit the Wolf squarely in the chest. He howled and fell backward, releasing Daphne, who tumbled to the ground. Sabrina rushed to her sister's side and dragged her away, then turned to find out who had saved them. Two women were standing behind her. One was tall and fierce with long blond hair and a deadly looking sword in her hands, as well as an array of weapons strapped around her waist and legs, including daggers, grenades, and a whip. The other woman had dark brown hair and wore a long trench coat that had hundreds of extra pockets sewn into it. It looked just like Uncle Jake's coat. The brown-haired woman was also adorned with necklaces and jeweled rings, one of which was glowing. Her expression was stern and serious, like hardened steel. She was beautiful, but her face was marred by a horrible scar.
"You're not going to touch them, mutt," the blond woman said, waving her sword in the air.
"Or someone is going to get fixed," the woman in the coat added.
The Wolf clambered to his feet and eyed the women. "Back off. These are my kills!"
"You back off, or I'll take your other eye," the woman with the sword replied. It was then that Sabrina noticed that the Wolf's left eye was white with blindness and framed by an ugly scar.
The monster growled and leaped at the blond woman. She swung her sword and hit the beast in the arm. The Wolf shrieked and swung back, hitting her so hard she flew against a tree. The brunette rubbed the glowing ring against her jacket and another blast rocketed at the monster. The Wolf leaped out of the way, dodging the projectile by inches.
The woman with the sword sprang to her feet. With the Wolf in pain and confused, she climbed up onto his enormous back. Raising her weapon high over his head, she brought the hilt down hard between the beast's eyes. He staggered, dazed. "He's all yours, sister," she shouted to her companion.
The dark-haired woman pulled a wand from inside her coat. She flicked her wrist and said, "Gimme some chains," and a ray of light shot out of the wand's tip. The woman's aim was perfect
