they're looking for you.”
    Jenna forced a short laugh. “Looking for me ?” It sounded ridiculous. “No one knows me here. Who could possibly be looking for me? Certainly no one has burst into my room with demands... except for you, that is.”
    “It's not like that,” he replied, annoyance stealing into his expression once more. “They're not normal people, but...”
    “Well, what do you mean? Who's looking for me?”
    Todd cleared his throat and changed the subject. “I take it you haven't found a place to live yet?”
    “Not yet,” she admitted.
    “Good. You'll be living close to me, then. So that I can keep an eye on you.”
    She was outraged. “Uh, excuse me? Who do you think you are, barging in here and talking to me like this? Why would I want to live close to you, or even work for you, at this point? So that you can keep me safe from some bad people you won't tell me anything about? Just... just leave, please.”
    He grimaced, gritting his teeth. “If you want the job, you'll live close to me. You'll live wherever I tell you, because I'll be keeping you safe. Got that?”
    Jenna leaned over and picked up her cell phone. “Listen, I'm not interested in your job. And I'm not interested in your living arrangements. Get out of my room now or I'm calling the cops.”
    Todd began to protest, but finally relented. “Have it your way,” he said before storming out of the room. He slammed the door behind him.
    After a few moments, Jenna took a seat on the bed and palmed her cell phone. What the hell just happened? She sighed, the terror in her heart still very real. What had possessed him to visit and make such demands of her was a mystery. All she knew was that she no longer felt comfortable around him, and that she wasn't going to be showing up at his office for work. It occurred to her that she might look for a job elsewhere, though the prospect of staying in such a small town, where she was likely to run into him again, didn't sit well. Did you make the right decision in coming here after all? She couldn't help but wonder.
    She wasn't going to get to sleep anytime soon. That much was certain. After a dozen looks through the peephole and a good bit of pacing, Jenna finally began to relax. She double-checked the deadbolt and sat up in bed, cradling her knees. It was going to be a long night. Should I call the cops or something? Just because he's gone now doesn't mean he won't come back...
    As she weighed the idea of making a call to the police, she heard something outside. She held her breath as the sound registered in her ears. No, no, no! Damn it! Can't this night just end already? What the hell is it now? There was a ruckus outside her window. Something had bumped up against the building, and she'd heard a low growl. Was Todd being attacked by the wolf she'd seen earlier? Though she couldn't find it in herself to be concerned for him, her curiosity got the better of her. She started for the window and pulled back the curtain to have a look.
    What she saw sent a fresh shock through her.
    Todd was indeed locked in battle with a wolf. He was pinned to the ground; a massive, snarling wolf with golden fur had its fangs at his throat.
    Jenna cried out, her mind blanking at the terrible scene. To her horror, the wolf peered up at her with its yellowish eyes, which glimmered in the moonlight. And then she watched in greater horror as Todd's body squirmed beneath the beast. He's done for!
    Todd, his arm only barely forcing back the wolf's mouth, loosed a great howl, animalistic and raw. And then Jenna saw it. His skin seemed to darken. What she thought at first might have been dark, red blood washing over his skin, was actually thick, black hair upon further inspection. His muscles bulged in his clothes and, within an instant, were torn to shreds around his form. The wolf backed away a few paces as something dreadful happened to Todd. And Jenna, too, fell a few steps back from the window. She couldn't believe what
