Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

CHAPTER
The Beshilu swarmed into view, scuttling up the girders with
nauseating agility. Someone watching from far away might have
mistaken them for werewolves like Elias (albeit smaller ones), but
Elias was under no such impression. He knew all about these disgusting
vermin and the twisted hellholes they came from. This particular
nest had chewed through the Gauntlet down in the sewers
and loosed a horde of shigella-, cholera- and dysentery-spirits into
the world. People and animals had fallen sick as the spirits fled in
all directions, and the pack had spent weeks wiping them out and
tracing their point of incursion. Doing so, they’ d discovered the
Beshilu nest, and their plan to deal with that nest had culminated
in this moment. Elias had gone down into the sewers alone in human
form, gotten the Beshilu’s attention, then let the vermin chase
him out. He’ d emerged from a manhole near this empty construction
site and climbed up into the rising steel skeleton to wait.
The first Beshilu’s eyes widened when it approached and Elias
changed into his Gauru form. It wisely tried to flee then, but Elias
grabbed its meaty tail and hurled the beast into space before turning
to meet the rush of the next one. Its step faltered, and the fear
in its ugly red eyes filled Elias’ mind with sweet music. He leaped
forward and smashed that one’s snout into an I-beam. Another
tried to leap on him from behind, and Elias’ jaws snatched it out
of the air and tore its throat out. He spat, and the Beshilu fell
twitching and gurgling into the gutted building.
They kept coming, but that was all right. A howl from below let
him know that his packmates were climbing up toward him. The
Beshilu had nowhere to run.
