We were at a camp somewhere in a national park of Pahang. As usual, we were forced. Even worse, I, Natalie and Trick were in the same group, the group in charge of collecting fire wood.
"Aaaaooooo!" a howl sounded in the distance.
"That really gives me the creeps," I said, "it sounded like a wolf."
Just then, our pets, who made themselves invisible to the others, here to accompany and protect us, appeared. "That's actually a dog," Velvet informed.
"Dog or wolf, it is terrible. It's one of the reasons I think cats are better," said Natalie, petting Vironica.
Before Trick or Red had a chance to reply, another howl sounded, nearer this time. it was much more than creepy, in fact, it was simply terrifying. It sent chills down everyone's spines. It was nothing like howls we heard before.
"What in the whole universe was that?!" I, Natalie and even Trick said together.
Velvet hesitated for a long time, frowning and thinking. It was obvious that she herself was not sure too. At last she said," Heaven knows. It's not a wolf nor a dog, yet it must be canine. One thing for sure, it's in this forest."
For some time the temperature dropped and the air froze. The cold moonlight that shone created ghastly shadows. Choking of fear, we decided to rest early.

For first time readers: I means Tabitha(Tha), Velvet is her Tiffanie cat, Vironica is Natalie(Nat)'s Balinese cat, and Red is Trick's dog.
