#2 of Miscellaneous

Just a silly little story that held my captive last night.
The events in this little story and simple puzzle are entirely fictitious.

One night not so long I was visiting a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in really quite some time.  
A friendly wolf who mostly kept to themselves.  
The evening was pleasant but the midnight oil was beginning to dwindle.  
The last conversation we had went like this:  
  
Friend: I like having you here  
Leo: Yeah, it's been good seeing ya again   
Friend: Will you stay tonight? There's a spare room.   
Leo: Eh sure, it's a bit late to be walking home anyway.  
Friend: Kill some time here then, it gets lonely here all by myself...  
Leo: Agreed, living alone can be tough.  
Friend: You look exhausted, You should probably go to bed and head straight to sleep.  
Leo: It has been a long day to be fair.  
Friend: In the morning I'll have a lot to take care of. We should sleep  
Leo: Sure, see you in the morning   
Friend: Your room is the first bedroom on the right, just go to sleep  
Leo: Goodnight  
Friend: Sleep Tight  
  
At the time I thought nothing of it and why should I? We both looked tired and promptly, I at least. Headed to bed.  
In a short time though... I began to shake. I could feel my palms go sweaty and a cold shiver ran down my spine  
as I thought about the conversation we had.   
I had to get out now!  
I listened at the door and waited for my 'friend' to go to his room. No sooner than they did, I had the window open  
so I could climb out and run all the way home as quick as my paws could carry me. Hoping never to see him again.

 The question however is... what scared me?
