[ Isamu takes a step back automatically as a growl fills the air- fills his head.
The patch of shadow falls forward, newly grown hands scraping at the dirt as it claws it's way towards them, sharply fanged teeth bared in a rictus grin, bright eyes glinting in the light cast by Isamu's phone. ]
We should-
[ 'run' but it's drowned out by a loud thudding in Isamu's ears, his hand itching as he drops the phone, blanketing their surroundings in darkness. His chest hurts, and he stumbles, arm jerking away from Emily's as he grabs at his chest, over his pounding heart.
The roar of his beating heart is threaded through with the snarl of a wolf, and it's overwhelming, enough to drive him mad, enough that he's willing to do anything to make it stop make it stop make it-
Isamu's hand plunges into his own chest, past fabric and flesh and bone, ripping back out with a still beating heart. For one second, another, he just stares at the organ, then collapses to his knees, heart vanishing as a wolf with bright, white wings and the tail of a snake steps out of his shadow, looking Emily over briefly, before bolting towards the shadow, biting out at it. ]
