Sylvie stared at me with sparkling blue eyes, and in the next second, she crouched down on her hind legs like a wild animal preparing to pounce on prey.
"Why are you following me?" I asked, but just then…
SWOOSH!
Her claws ripped through the air at a terrifying speed, aimed directly at my throat. I sidestepped her attack and watched it whiz past my face. In that fraction of a second, we locked eyes. Her eyes were slitted and blue just like a wolf's; when I stared into them, all I saw was a wild animal.
She reacted quickly when she realized her attack had missed, and with a staggering display of agility, she kicked herself off the ground and swung her other claws, aimed at my face this time.
I stepped back so the attack was just out of reach, but then again, she acted instantly, and in midair, she spun herself for a kick aimed at my midsection.
It was impossible to dodge, so I was forced to block the kick with my arm.
