How Far Away Can Sharks Smell Blood 소설 & 이야기

She couldn't afford that. Now, it was on alert. The air smelt-like petrichor. A scent of wet sand right after it rains, except there was sunlight. Then it came in higher concentration, synergistic symphony of scent. Like fart gases. Ocean. To humans, it was easy to mistake the smell of ocean as pleasant if only acerbic. To wolves, they knew what it was. She was near a water body, probably in a boat although it didn't feel like one. But no sound came out of her throat. Not a happy yip, nor a relieved sigh. It opened and closed in a soundless scream. She shoved her face in her hands, muffling the horror that replaced the sound.

"I'll be right back." Damon quickly rushed out, following after Sarah who had ran down the hall as if she had fire on her tail. How could he not have known that she been eavesdropping on their conversation. She was standing right at the door! That's approximately five feet or six feet away from him! Had he been THAT caught up in his conversation that he didn't realize that her scent had drawn closer towards him? He didn't even hear her footsteps either! What kind of werewolf does that?

We sure as hell cannot afford that. “Human! I can smell human!” One of the sniffers said and we all stopped. “How far?” I asked. He lifted his chin up, his nostrils getting wider as he sniffed harder. He then turned to us with widened eyes as if his discovery scared him. “Five meters.” Well, shit. No fucking wonder he was surprised. “Keep your heads down. We don’t know what’s coming since we’re near.” I alerted them and they quickly did as told.

“Okay try breathing in deeply. Close off for my and Andy’s scents, and see what you smell” I try breathing in small short huffs. Then I close my eyes, breathing in through the nose. When I open my eyes the green circle spreading in them sharpens my eyesight. A weak scent of a man’s deodorant and sweat has caught my nose. “Can you see what I mean ? They are just on the limit of how far you can sense them, but if one comes just a hundred meters closer you would most likely have lost it. A condi freak who thinks he hears a dog stuck somewhere and voila, imagine the news tomorrow”.

“We’re only 200 nautical miles away from the center of the typhoon... 160 nautical miles... 120 nautical miles...” Andrius grew anxious. Seeing the mutant shark king becoming increasingly audacious, Andrius knew he could not continue like this.

Perhaps she would lose her position as the family leader too. Thinking along those lines, Lily became worried. She tried her best to pick up her speed. However, it was impossible for her to win. Suddenly, she heard some screaming. “What’s that?” “Oh my, shark. Is that a shark? Why is there a grey fin in the water?” “Shark! Shark! Come back! Swim back here!” The ten of them who were busy swimming stopped when they heard the commotion at the shores and looked around. They saw a black-colored fin at the water surface about tens of miles away from them, swimming towards them at a very fast speed.

She closed her eyes like she was trying to sniff the area, which stopped her from seeing my mouth reaction. "Isn't that like ten times the distance you cover?" I asked in amazement. "Is it only ten? Did I mention a mile or two miles? I said miles, ten miles, twenty miles up to fifty miles!" she explained, scaring me more than I was, initially. "Fifty miles, is that really possible?" I asked but she paid me no attention. "Start now, I'm already viewing the scent you should catch within ten to twenty miles out!" she said with her eyes closed.

Out of nowhere, another shark emerged from the side and used its body to overturn the lifeboat. The sharks started to attack the people who fell into the sea. Soon, the blood dyed the sea red. Smelling the blood, a school of sharks quickly rushed up to feast. Seeing this horrifying scene, Larissa felt numb. She muttered, "We're completely surrounded by sharks." Thelma, pale-faced, asked, "What do we do now? Can we still sail off to escape?" A few quick-reacting lifeboats had already started up and were fleeing in panic.

I nonchalantly responded. “How? We’re too far out.” “I don’t know.” I shrugged. “I’ve always been able to link him, no matter how far we are.” “You decide to tell us this now?” Mom practically shouted, making me jump. “What’s the big deal? He’s my brother, isn’t that normal?” I looked around and saw El shake her head. “Not for me. I have to be within ten miles to link with anyone from our pack, including family.” “How far out are we?”
