must move quickly here.>

"What? No shopping?" Rachel, of course.

We reached the floor and were instantly surrounded by jabbering, poking,
pushing, whining Iskoort, all desperate to buy whatever we had and sell
us whatever we didn't.

"I see what you mean by moving quickly, Guide," I said.

I had about three seconds to think what? before something slammed me

I was down, flat on my back, a weight on my chest. A bony head, stubby
horns protruding from the top, was just above mine.

"Howlers!" I yelled.

I twisted and tried to roll away. But the bony-headed creature wouldn't
let me go. He slammed his head down at me. I jerked my head to the side,
hard. The blunt horns struck the floor.

I did something I haven't had to do much, despite being in more battles
than I can remember: I drew back my fist and punched.

I caught the Howler in his gaping mouth. He jerked back. I drew my legs
up, thighs against my chest, and I kicked.

Thump!

flailing but unbalanced. I was up in a flash.

My friends were all under attack. No one had had time to morph. Tobias
was ripping at the short stalk eyes of a Howler. I saw Ax snap his tail
and remove an arm that had been around Cassie's throat.

Rachel kicked another in a place that humans don't like to have kicked.
One of the Howlers was flailing away at Erek, head-butting him and
having no effect as Erek stood there calmly.

Rachel was halfway into her grizzly bear morph and already growling with
a voice that was still mostly her own.
