Don’t shoot him? What did he mean ‘don’t shoot him’?! Teagen’s already strained mind went berserk inside him.
Then Teagen saw why. Franz suddenly stepped out, walking toward the hounds. What?! Teagen trembled, but fired again, hitting another wolf. Kay, don’t hit you while in the midst of the target. Great. Do you not see how dumb I am with this thing?!
Teagen’s nose twitched, then something happened. Teagen’s lips parted slightly, and his forehead wrinkled, What the
The wolves were cowering before Franz. The gunman fired his pistol and one dropped.
A terrible aura was around him, floating. Deadly. Not that Franz hadn’t been before…
Teagen swallowed hard as Franz fired again. Another dog down. More cowering. The man/thing with the flaming sword took a step back too. Stunned. Then the light vanished.
Oh boy, Teagen took a step forward, lifted his gun, finger hovering over the trigger. But he stopped. Don’t fire you louse. It’ll just bring all the dogs back to you. You’re easy meat. Not like him.
It would be heroic? Or dumb. Maybe both.
Tis strange how a million thoughts can go through one’s head in a manner of seconds. Which is what happened here.
A few wolves retreated back down there hole and vanished, but ten still remained. They circled Franz, heads lowered, shoulders spiked, teeth barred like a million daggers. He was gonna die, But Franz didn’t act like it.
His posture exuded power. Control. As if he were the master. As if he the /victim/, was the perpetrator?
Teagen re-aimed his gun. Once again moving his finger to the trigger. He wasn’t the best aim, but the mutts weren’t that close to Franz, were they?
Franz struck again, and a wolf died. The two next to it backing up like wounded puppies. But the ones behind him suddenly got bold.
With a curse Teagen fired his piece. A dog dropped with a loud whine. Then eyes turned to him. Both dog and man. He cursed again. Retreat! More filth came from his lips, Yeah right,
Dogs moved. Franz shot dead two more. Teagen got another. Suddenly the blazing sword reappeared and the cloaked man cut down more dogs.
Okiday. @rusted-knight @christlover
I also am (at some point) going to have Teagen think something like, Did Franz mean not to shoot him on purpose? Or something along that line. Maybe when Isaac turns back to face him and still is trying to push down his Femrir side? However far away that is…
