"Don't taunt them!" I exclaim, shooting him a look. It's a mistake and as soon as I take my eyes off the toothy one it begins to move in. It only gets a few steps before I notice and I hold the gun with both hands and take a shot. I don't know if I'm surprised when a hole appears in its shoulder...but it sure is. It stops and looks down, snarling and spitting in anger.

"Oh shit," I say under my breath.
