Rhapsody for a Wolf
The howling around us becomes a gasp as his blade is motionless in the moment before he starts the backswing, and I reach out, and grab it with my bare hand.
The pain sears through me, worse than getting shot in the guts, and Black isn’t stopping. I’m going to loose some fingers, some part of me thinks as I turn his blade away from its killing strike, and I’m going to lose the fight, because he’s going to push me over the line…
But he’s not.
He’s not.
He’s sinking to his knees with a choking gasp, and my other hand, the one with the sword. The sword I’m still holding in front of me. The sword Black just ran right on to.
