BROCK'S POV
As I stood on the ground, it shook violently, and shadow beings shot up from the ground like poisonous weeds. There were huge holes between our world and theirs that Hope's wild power had torn. Now hundreds of them were coming through.
"Protect Hope!" I roared as I changed into a wolf in the middle of a jump. I bit down on the throat of a shadow beast that looked like a twisted Beta from our pack. It turned into smoke, but three more appeared to take its place.
There was chaos all around me. Our pack members' shadow selves fought against their real selves, making it hard to tell who was a friend and who was an enemy. The fake Mrs. Peterson moved very quickly, and her walking stick turned into a tool that could kill. The shadow Mr. Harrison breathed black fire from his mouth.
But something strange was happening. Some of the new pack members weren't attacking us anymore. They stood frozen, shaking their heads like they were fighting against unseen chains.
