A retelling of the absolutely brilliant horror movie ‘Cabin in the Woods’ with an altogether different ending. \u00a0Chapter 3 of 4.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

… outside,<\/em> a voice called out, just at the edge of hearing.<\/p>\n

“Who’s there?” Marty said, looking up from his book.\u00a0 He barely even realized that he’d been staring at the same page for the last few minutes.\u00a0 He strained his ears, nervously glancing around the room.\u00a0 “Dana, was that you?”<\/p>\n

The silence stretched.\u00a0 He could hear some talking from the living room but, otherwise, the entire cabin and everything outside was-<\/p>\n

You should go outside,<\/em> the voice whispered again, slightly louder.\u00a0 It seemed to come from the entire room as well as right beside him.<\/p>\n

“Jesus!” Marty said, standing.\u00a0 The book, Treasure Island, fell to the ground.\u00a0 He’d never had a paranoid episode.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 “No fucking way, man.\u00a0 Listen, you ghost mother fuckers!\u00a0 I heard all the jokes before and I ain’t Shaggy.\u00a0 We aren’t the… the fucking gang come out here to solve some lame-”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…go… outside…<\/em><\/p>\n

Marty shivered. The words were just at the edge of his comprehension, despite it seeming like someone was at his shoulder, speaking directly into his ear.<\/p>\n

“Fuckin’ ghosts, man.\u00a0 This is bullshit,” Marty said, still looking around the room.\u00a0 Goosebumps rose in waves up both arms and he shivered.\u00a0 Suddenly, the room felt too small, the air too hot and close.\u00a0 “I’m going for a walk.”<\/p>\n

The young man grabbed his thick, old coat, pulling it on while walking into the hallway.\u00a0 He swore he heard laughter chasing him from the room.\u00a0 In the living room, Dana and Holden were sitting close and talking quietly.\u00a0 Marty shook his head ruefully.\u00a0 He’d had a crush on Dana since he was a kid but he’d known for a long time that there was no chance with her.\u00a0 Instead, they’d become friends and he treasured her company.\u00a0 Despite a small pang of jealousy, he hoped she enjoyed herself and was able to finally relax after the shit she went through with her professor.<\/p>\n

Marty walked past the couple quietly, leaving them to their moment in peace.\u00a0 He opened the front door and breathed deeply as the cold night air filled his lungs.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Dana cocked her head at the nearly silent hiss that filled the living room.\u00a0 She wrinkled her nose as a faint acrid scent flooded the area.\u00a0 Baring her teeth, her eyes flicked around the corners of the large room, trying to find the source.\u00a0 Hairs stirred at the back of her neck and she raised her hackles, three dark red hairs sprouting, growing longer than the fine, wispy red hairs already there.<\/p>\n

“Are you okay?” Holden asked.\u00a0 His fingers touched Dana’s shoulder cautiously and the young woman blinked and jerked in surprise.\u00a0 She licked her lips a few times and hung her head for a moment, breathing deeply to calm her racing heart.<\/p>\n

The moon, full and fat and hidden behind silver clouds seemed to physically pull at her body.\u00a0 She could point to it with her eyes closed if she wanted to.\u00a0 Her small body felt warm and on edge –\u00a0 filled with a crackling energy.\u00a0 Dana’s nostrils flared while she breathed deeply to calm herself.\u00a0 Her canine teeth scraped the surrounding teeth as they lengthened slowly.\u00a0 She tasted blood and lapped at it quickly, feeling the tears in her gums as the teeth expanded.<\/p>\n

It was hard to focus for the young woman.\u00a0 Everything was wrong.\u00a0 It was all wrong.\u00a0 Her body was changing slowly and she felt like she should be panicking.\u00a0 But the scent of the two things in the distance, the siren call of the moon and the pheromones flooding the room completely destroyed her concentration.\u00a0 Everything<\/em><\/strong> was buzzing and clamoring for attention.\u00a0 She felt trapped, panicked.\u00a0 The urge to run and hide herself away while whatever was happening finished was nearly overwhelming… but she couldn’t deny the heat spreading through her body.\u00a0 Every nerve was alive and she felt everything.<\/p>\n

Sweat coursed down the young woman’s back as she nearly hyperventilated.<\/p>\n

“… okay, Dana?” Holden asked again.\u00a0 He licked his lips.\u00a0 His cock strained at his pants and he couldn’t stop looking at the girl’s chest.\u00a0 Veins stood out on his temples and he blinked to try to focus.\u00a0 “Maybe you should call it a night, huh?”<\/p>\n

It took every ounce of her willpower but Dana pushed at the fire raging through her, groaning quietly until her body seemed to settle.\u00a0 Waiting.\u00a0 Her treasonous ears flicked impatiently, the rounded edges pulling up and back into small, barely noticeable points.<\/p>\n

“I’m fine,” Dana panted.\u00a0 Pushing away the strange energy raging through her body left her completely open to an entirely different need.\u00a0 The young woman raised her head and leaned toward the young man.\u00a0 She kissed him suddenly.\u00a0 Deeply.\u00a0 Holden flinched but quickly returned the kiss, his hands sliding along her back.<\/p>\n

Dana moved closer, reaching across the young man to straddle his lap.\u00a0 She felt his hardness through her jeans and she smiled as they kissed.\u00a0 Holden’s hands dug into her sides and she nearly growled, grabbing them from her body to pull them up and behind his head.\u00a0 She twined her fingers in his as her arms seemed to bulge.\u00a0 Veins in her smooth, thin arms suddenly stood out.\u00a0 The skin along her forearms and biceps shifted as the muscles beneath tore and rebuilt themselves.\u00a0 Stronger.\u00a0 Hard, defined lines showed new thick, ropey muscles and a surprising strength.<\/p>\n

Lips still locked together, Holden squirmed beneath Dana.\u00a0 He tried to reach for her again.\u00a0 To hold her and move her like he wanted but found his arms locked tight against the couch.\u00a0 He pushed and realized he might as well have tried moving a brick wall.\u00a0 His confusion was quickly lost as Dana began to grind against his throbbing cock.\u00a0 She broke the kiss first and they gasped as her hips worked back and forth against him.<\/p>\n

Cheek-to-cheek, Dana felt the urge deep within to fill the aching emptiness between her legs.\u00a0 Everything else paled against the desires in her.\u00a0 Hormones clashed with the wild pull of the moon, driving her wild.\u00a0 She growled quietly, lowering her mouth to suck and nip at the young man’s shoulder.\u00a0 Holden hissed beside her, again tugging his hands to try to hold her hips or touch her.\u00a0 Dana growled again and then sighed, leaning against the man.<\/p>\n

“God, Dana,” Holden gasped, his voice thick with his own needs.\u00a0 A part of him felt he was going too fast.\u00a0 That something was wrong.\u00a0 But the thoughts were drowned by a high pitched buzzing that filled his ears and head.\u00a0 All he knew was the warmth and weight and smell of the woman against him. “You’re so fuckin’ hot.\u00a0 I had no clue you were this… wild.”<\/p>\n

Releasing Holden’s hands, Dana pressed herself against his chest, one hand reaching for the back of his neck while the other slid down to his ass.\u00a0 Her fingernails bulged, the clear pink coloring turning dark as her claws pressed against them.\u00a0 Ten tiny deadly tips pierced her fingertips and Dana bit her lips, squirming as the pain of it mixed with the pleasure of release.\u00a0 She bit harder, feeling her small fingers cut skin as she fought subconsciously against the changes.\u00a0 Desperately holding onto her humanity despite the released airborne chemicals pushing her forward.<\/p>\n

Holden’s hands dug into Dana’s back, kneading and gripping and sliding until one hand reached down into the back of the woman’s pants.\u00a0 He held her ass as she rubbed him over and over.\u00a0 She was the center of his universe; everything else was pushed away.\u00a0 He felt a small pop against his hand when the young woman’s tailbone unfused but the sensation was lost to him.\u00a0 Dana’s nipples dragged back and forth against his chest.\u00a0 He could feel them, impossibly hard, through their shirts and her bra.<\/p>\n

With a growl, Dana clenched her fist in Holden’s short hair, pulling his head back to expose his throat.\u00a0 She lapped at him, collar bone to jaw.\u00a0 With each stroke, her tongue widened and lengthened until she collapsed against him from sudden pain in her chest.\u00a0 Her bra dug into her skin as her small breasts began to swell.\u00a0 The bra slid down, exposing her hard, pink nipples.\u00a0 Flesh and fat formed deep in her chest as her torso began expanding, pushing at bones growing more dense to protect her against harm.\u00a0 Her breasts overflowed the small bra, flattening against Holden’s chest as they grew.\u00a0 Her shirt pulled tight against them and she moaned.<\/p>\n

Small hairs grew forth from around Dana’s ears and down the back of her jaw.\u00a0 Slowly the hairs twined together, spreading around the back of her neck.\u00a0 The young woman leaned back, grabbing at the bottom of her shirt.\u00a0 She pulled, tearing small holes in the fabric with her tiny unformed claws..\u00a0 With one swift motion, she pulled her shirt off and flung it to the corner.\u00a0 Her now large breasts were completely exposed, hanging low enough to nearly cover her small bra.\u00a0 Holden eagerly took a nipple in his mouth and Dana moaned, hugging him tightly to her chest.<\/p>\n

The pink nipple thickened in the young man’s mouth.\u00a0 His wet tongue flicked and swirled around it while it swelled and grew fat.<\/p>\n

“Wait,” Dana said, the words thick in her mouth.\u00a0 “Wait.”<\/p>\n

Holden held her tighter, biting at her nipple, refusing to stop.\u00a0 Dana growled, pulling herself back and gripping the man’s throat to hold him in place.\u00a0 He stared at her in fear and confusion, both hands on hers, pulling at her thick wrist while trying to breathe.<\/p>\n

Dana cocked her head, turning to look towards the front door.\u00a0 Muscles in her chest and stomach still formed as fat melted away, leaving her with hardened abdominal muscles.\u00a0 Small red hairs sprouted around her belly button.\u00a0 Her bra creaked under her growth until the clasps broke free, unable to contain her bulk.\u00a0 Her bra fell to Holden’s lap while the young man slapped futilely against Dana’s arm.<\/p>\n

“Something’s wrong,” Dana said, relaxing her grip.\u00a0 Holden gasped, still struggling to free himself completely.\u00a0 “She’s hurt.\u00a0 They’re… she’s hurt.”<\/p>\n

The young woman stood, her heavy full breasts bulging on a large, lean naked upper body.\u00a0 Sweat coursed between her breasts and down to her jeans.\u00a0 The smell of blood and raw meat had torn her away from the aching wetness between her thighs.\u00a0 Holden lay on his side, gasping and breathing harshly.\u00a0 Veins stood out on his reddened forehead and an angry bruise was beginning to form on his neck.<\/p>\n

The front door crashed open and Jules collapsed into the entryway.\u00a0 The young girl was completely covered in blood and naked except for her torn panties.\u00a0 She struggled to her knees and closed the door, sitting against it with eyes wild from fear.\u00a0 Jules hugged herself, shivering and gasping.<\/p>\n

“Jules!” Dana cried, going to her.\u00a0 Jules flinched back from her friend but stayed where she was, her mouth working as she tried to find the words to explain what had happened.<\/p>\n

“The- the- the-” Jules stuttered.\u00a0 She reached down to her right side, pressing her hand against the bloodied skin.\u00a0 “K-k-k-killed- killed C-C-Curt!”<\/p>\n

“Jules, I-” Dana paused, sniffing the air.\u00a0 There was a certain scent.\u00a0 She’d smelled it earlier.\u00a0 Wet dog and the thick musk of a man with his blood up.\u00a0 It reminded her of the time she’d gone hiking all day and then spent the entire evening fucking in a tent with an ex-boyfriend.\u00a0 The heady scent of sweat and dirt and … heat from a lover.\u00a0 A man.\u00a0 Yet inexplicably mixed with the smell of an animal.\u00a0 It was an incredibly arousing scent but she couldn’t say why.<\/p>\n

And now, here, she began to smell something like it from Jules.<\/p>\n

“Oh, Jules,” Dana whispered.\u00a0 She reached for her friend but Jules pulled back, her eyes still wide.<\/p>\n

“They-they-they,” Jules stammered.\u00a0 Her hand moved against her side and dried blood flaked away.\u00a0 Four long, wide scars lined the side of her body, just above her hips.\u00a0 Small light brown hairs dotted the edge of the scars.\u00a0 Jules gripped her side and threw her head back, shouting in sudden pain.<\/p>\n

Sweat dripped to the ground from between Dana’s heavy breasts as she knelt there, bent over, reaching for her friend.\u00a0 Uncertain of what she should do.\u00a0 She wanted to comfort her.\u00a0 She wanted to strike her, growl at her and tell her to stand up and stop being a little bitch.\u00a0 And a very small part of her wanted to finish what the two others started.\u00a0 To rend her flesh and gnaw at her bones.\u00a0 The flood of extreme emotions were alien to her yet she was terrified at how easily they came.<\/p>\n

Still, Dana gagged at the random thought, her throat seizing at the sudden mental image of her face in her friend’s bloody stomach, chewing and swallowing hot red lumps of flesh.\u00a0 She gasped for air, falling to all fours, desperately trying to wipe the image from her mind.\u00a0 The bones along her spine pressed against her back and she roared, flexing and arching her body.\u00a0 Fine red fur sprouted along her back in a line.<\/p>\n

“It- it hurts,” Jules gasped.\u00a0 Dana looked up at her friend, lips pulled back in a snarl.\u00a0 Jules’ hazel eyes seemed to glow in the light.\u00a0 The greens and browns slowly vanished, replaced by burnished gold.\u00a0 The young woman grit her teeth with eyes clenched and brow furrowed.\u00a0 Teeth scraped against teeth.\u00a0 Jules spat blood as her jaw cracked to try to contain her growing fangs.\u00a0 She hugged her stomach tighter, pushing her breasts together.\u00a0 “Hungry.”<\/p>\n

“No,” Dana gasped, rocking herself back to her knees.\u00a0 A line of thick fur ran from the back of her neck down into her jeans.\u00a0 She heard it coming.\u00a0 Him<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 He was coming.\u00a0 Smelled his excitement on the air from a mile away.\u00a0 But, it was just one of them.\u00a0 She turned her head, tracking until she found the other one.<\/p>\n

Small hairs grew from the bumps in Jules’ areola.\u00a0 The young woman shivered, rolling her head while her eyes flickered.\u00a0 She moaned, low in her throat.\u00a0 Her sweat soaked sheer panties darkened as fur grew beneath them, mixing with the trimmed pubic hair.\u00a0 That fur, thick and brown fanned out slowly, pushing through the fabric of her underwear as it bulged to contain the thick tuft of fur forming above her sex.\u00a0 Jules groaned, reaching a hand down her stomach, her fingers playing through the fur.<\/p>\n

Jules hissed, showing her sharp fingers as lines of blood seeped from beneath her fingernails.\u00a0 Her nails bulged, tearing as dark black claws pushed from the soft, fleshy pink of her fingers.\u00a0 They lengthened and curved as her hand spasmed, muscles tearing at the bones beneath while they thickened to anchor her claws properly.\u00a0 She clawed her lithe body nearly sensually, twisting her legs together.\u00a0 The light, nearly invisible dusting of hair on her forearms seemed to grow darker as fur sprouted along her arms.\u00a0 Jules arched her back, twisting on her ass.<\/p>\n

With a ragged shout, Jules opened her eyes, clenching her right arm with her left fist.\u00a0 Her new claws dug into her skin and she stared in panic at the changes.<\/p>\n

“D-D-Dana,” Jules gasped, mouth open.\u00a0 She showed her arm to her friend and then snarled, hissing through sharp fangs as more changes took place deep within her body.\u00a0 “N-no!\u00a0 I-I-I won’t-\u00a0 I can’t be like this!\u00a0 Dana, please, god, please!\u00a0 I’m- I’m turning into one of them.\u00a0 Oh, oh god, it’s… I hear them.\u00a0 I smell <\/em><\/strong>them.\u00a0 Oh god!”<\/p>\n

Jules squirmed, kicking her feet as she roared, clutching her sides.\u00a0 Dana glanced at her friend for a moment but then looked away, concentrating.<\/p>\n

He’s… there!<\/em> Dana thought to herself, jerking her head to the side.\u00a0 Moving slowly.\u00a0 Carefully.\u00a0 And something else.\u00a0 Something… oh god, Marty!<\/em><\/p>\n

Holden struggled to sit up on the couch, air whistling through his bruised throat.<\/p>\n

“Hhhhh-” the young man tried to say.\u00a0 He grimaced and swallowed painfully.\u00a0 The daze in his eyes from the lingering effect of the chemicals pumped into the room began to clear.\u00a0 The scene in front of him was a bloody nightmare.\u00a0 “Whhh-!”<\/p>\n

“Daanaaa,” Jules groaned.\u00a0 Dark callouses were forming under her fingers.\u00a0 She clawed at the wall, scoring the old, hardened wood easily.\u00a0 The young woman lapped at the sweat on her face with a long, wide tongue.\u00a0 She panted and then jerked again.\u00a0 Her toes popped and cracked, the joints twisting as her feet lengthened.\u00a0 Her pinky toe stayed in place while the rest of her toes pushed further and further away.\u00a0 Tendons stood out on her feet.\u00a0 Her toes pressed painfully together before finally separating when her feet widened.\u00a0 Pain and hunger lanced through the young woman’s body and she clutched at her stomach.<\/p>\n

“I’m so hungry,” Jules whispered, staring at Holden.\u00a0 She lifted her head, scenting the air with her lips peeled back.\u00a0 “I can’t- I can’t help it.\u00a0 I can’t stop it.\u00a0 I’m so fucking hungry.\u00a0 You- you smell like them.\u00a0 You can’t help me, can you?\u00a0 You’re lost, too.\u00a0 Lost.\u00a0 Oh god, please.”<\/p>\n

Dana looked at her friend.\u00a0 She watched Jules’ ears pull upwards into sharp points.\u00a0 Light brown hair grew from the backs of the girl’s ears as they twitched and rotated on new, small muscles deep in her jaw.\u00a0 Jules’ scent was changing rapidly.\u00a0 The line between human and animal was beginning to blur and she saw that echoed in the other girl’s eyes.\u00a0 The scared look was vanishing, replaced with a new focus that wasn’t entirely human.<\/p>\n

Predatory.<\/p>\n

“I-” Dana paused, licking her lips with her long tongue.\u00a0 She looked back at Holden’s terrified face and whined.\u00a0 She feared for him but Marty was out there.\u00a0 Alone and unaware of what was hunting him.\u00a0 Her childhood friend that had always been there for her.\u00a0 Stood up for her.\u00a0 There with a quick joke or an honest, blunt opinion.\u00a0 Dana looked at Jules, watching as the girl’s jaw cracked and began to push forward.\u00a0 “Oh, Jesus.”<\/p>\n

Dana stood and pulled at the front door.\u00a0 Jules snapped up to look at her friend, lips pulling back to reveal sharp teeth.\u00a0 The other woman growled and then her expression softened for a brief moment.<\/p>\n

“Dana,” Jules panted, reaching for her friend with a long, furred arm.\u00a0 Her hand seemed huge and deadly, tipped with thick black claws.\u00a0 “Dana, p- please, Dana.\u00a0 I’m, oh god!\u00a0 I’m- I’m so hungry, Dana.\u00a0 P- please.\u00a0 Please don’t.\u00a0 Please don’t go.\u00a0 I can’t stop thinking about it.\u00a0 Thinking about the taste of him.\u00a0 His meat.\u00a0 Red and bloody and oh god oh god, Dana, oh good.”<\/p>\n

Closing her eyes tight, trying desperately to stop her own changes, Dana whimpered and then pulled, strong muscles bunching in her lightly furred back.\u00a0 Jules slid and fell to her side as the door opened.<\/p>\n

“D-d-d-don’t,” Jules whispered, pleading with her friend through the pain of her change.<\/p>\n

Dana ran into the night.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

“Well, shit,” Sitterson said, pushing back from the console.<\/p>\n

“It can still be saved,” Hadley told him, his eyes flicking between the various monitors.\u00a0 “This isn’t all bad.\u00a0 Just not entirely optimal.”<\/p>\n

“What if they turn?” Sitterson asked his coworker.\u00a0 “Does that even count?”<\/p>\n

Hadley stared at his screens silently for a moment.\u00a0 Finally, “I don’t know.\u00a0 There’s only been one other time we’ve had these fucking dumb animals and, before, they wiped out the entire group in thirty minutes.\u00a0 This is new.\u00a0 I’m trying to get in touch with our friends in Germany but you know what happened with their archives when they lost containment ten years ago.\u00a0 Nearly a total turnover in personnel, too.\u00a0 They probably don’t have a clue.”<\/p>\n

“Maybe,” Sitterson started.\u00a0 “Maybe it still counts.\u00a0 Maybe turning them will still appease… It<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Maybe-”<\/p>\n

“Sir!” a young woman called out, running into the room.<\/p>\n

“What the hell, Chelsea!” Hadley yelled.\u00a0 “We’re in the middle of a crisis here!\u00a0 You can’t-”<\/p>\n

“Japan is down!” the young woman gasped, throwing a switch on the main console.\u00a0 Onscreen, a group of young schoolgirls were cheering in a darkened classroom.\u00a0 “Not a single casualty and they contained the entity.”<\/p>\n

“No.\u00a0 Fucking. \u00a0Way.” Sitterson said, staring in disbelief.\u00a0 “Japan never fails.\u00a0 Has<\/em><\/strong> never failed.”<\/p>\n

“We’re the last ones,” Hadley whispered.\u00a0 “We’re it.\u00a0 If we lose this-”<\/p>\n

“Chelsea,” Sitterson said, his voice firming.\u00a0 “Go down to Research and tell those assholes to find whatever they can on the situation.\u00a0 Primarily, if the subjects are turned, does it still count or not.\u00a0 And, if not, are they still considered sacrifices?\u00a0 Can something else be triggered that kills them or are we completely lost.\u00a0 Go go go!”<\/p>\n

The young woman ran from the room without another word.<\/p>\n

“I take it all back,” Hadley said, leaning slowly back into his chair.\u00a0 “We’re fucked.”<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Dana stumbled through the moonlit woods, following the scent of her friend.\u00a0 She was completely oblivious to her nakedness as her full breasts slammed against her wide, muscle-lined body.\u00a0 She growled, forcing herself faster and faster as leaves swirled behind her.\u00a0 The urge to drop to all fours was nearly overpowering.\u00a0 She felt the wind sliding along her shoulders and down her back, ruffling the thick line of fur along her spine.<\/p>\n

“No!” the young woman cried out as her foot spasmed, bringing her down into a thudding crash.\u00a0 She gripped her leg, growling and hissing.\u00a0 Her shoes expanded, creaking to contain her growing feet.\u00a0 Dana roared, pounding the ground while trying to pull herself upright.\u00a0 A sudden, painful knot in her calf muscle forced her back down.\u00a0 Her jeans pulled painfully tight against her leg.\u00a0 The young woman pressed herself back against a nearby tree, awkwardly fumbling at the laces on her right shoe.\u00a0 The claws from her fingers slid slowly forth and she ripped the laces and fabric but, too late.\u00a0 The sole of her right shoe separated from the top and she looked down to see thick black nails – claws, really – pushing through the front of the shoes.\u00a0 She watched as her pinky toe, a dewclaw now, slid from out of the shoe.<\/p>\n

Gripping the shoe in both hands, Dana tore it apart, flinging it aside.\u00a0 Pain flared in her left foot and she just watched while massaging her right foot.\u00a0 Paw.\u00a0 Her right paw.\u00a0 The bottom of her foot felt leathery to her touch.\u00a0 While the huge black claws on her left foot tore that shoe apart, she felt the padding grow in on her right paw.\u00a0 For some reason, she couldn’t wiggle her toes.\u00a0 Despite everything else, that seemed to bother her.\u00a0 She tried again and again, staring at her huge right paw.<\/p>\n

Tears leaked from Dana’s eyes.\u00a0 She was in pain, so much pain.\u00a0 And yet, she’d never felt better in her life.\u00a0 Powerful.\u00a0 Unstoppable.\u00a0 Every single nerve in her body was lit and ready to move in an instant.\u00a0 The world was alive to her.\u00a0 She could taste every animal on the wind.\u00a0 She smelled the sharp scent of electrical ozone covering the entire area.\u00a0 She heard everything.\u00a0 She was so alive and so afraid.\u00a0 Of what she was becoming.\u00a0 Of what was happening to Jules and Holden.<\/p>\n

Still.\u00a0 The thought of Marty drove her.\u00a0 The thought of what would happen if the monster got to him before she did.<\/p>\n

Dana’s left shoe nearly exploded as her other paw formed.\u00a0 Dana groaned, grinding her sharp teeth and fangs.\u00a0 The dark night wavered before her and then began to brighten as her eyes changed.\u00a0 They almost glowed in the silver moonlight now.\u00a0 Information flooded her brain: scents and sounds mixed with her new eyesight to give her the ghost of tracks and lines in the air.\u00a0 Where prey…. No<\/em><\/strong>, she told herself.\u00a0 Animals<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 She was seeing where animals – birds and small creatures – had passed earlier.<\/p>\n

The back of Dana’s jeans ripped loudly, exposing rock hard calves lined with light brown fur.\u00a0 The jeans tore further in a line that ended behind her knees to expose pale white skin beneath patches of fur matted with sweat.\u00a0 The young woman gripped the tree behind her and her claws sunk deep into the wood.\u00a0 She pulled herself up as small chips of wood fell to the ground.\u00a0 Dana leaned against the tree, panting in the night air.<\/p>\n

“Please,” Dana gasped.\u00a0 Her voice was deep and rough.\u00a0 She laid her head against the bark, feeling herself being pulled apart.\u00a0 She felt an alien surge of anger and aggression surging through her and she threw it all at the creature hunting her friend.\u00a0 Memories were beginning to slip from her and she forced herself to focus.\u00a0 “Please, god, just let me get there in time.”<\/p>\n

Pushing herself away from the tree, the young woman forced herself forward.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Holden felt his heart pounding in his tight chest.\u00a0 He felt like he couldn’t catch his breath and his fingers and toes were tingling.\u00a0 Cold sweat ran down the back of his neck and he fought against a wave of nausea.<\/p>\n

“Juuhhhhh-” he tried to say, watching the young woman.\u00a0 The door had closed behind Dana, leaving the two together.<\/p>\n

Jules rolled to her stomach and stretched<\/em><\/strong> herself, bones creaking and cracking along her back.\u00a0 Her eyes were closed, hooded by a thick brow on a hairless half-muzzle.\u00a0 She craned her neck, slowly rocking her aching jaw back and forth.\u00a0 Her long, pointed, fur-tipped ears were held low.\u00a0 She opened her eyes and licked her lips with her long, dog’s tongue in a slow luxurious circuit.\u00a0 The young woman’s thick red lips began to darken above her deadly teeth.\u00a0 Black lines appeared like cracks amongst the red but quickly spread.\u00a0 She smiled a hideous, half-wolf’s grin while her nearly flattened nose flared.<\/p>\n

“Holden,” Jules moaned.\u00a0 She lifted her muzzle, scenting him and smiling again.\u00a0 The young woman arched her back and then brought her stomach low, stretching her upper body up in a curve.\u00a0 She hissed through her fangs as a loud crack filled the air.\u00a0 Holden watched the skin at the small of her back bulge slightly, pushing her panties down.<\/p>\n

“Puhhh- puhhh,” Holden gasped, pressing himself further back against the couch.\u00a0 His eyes wandered back to the young woman’s bare chest.\u00a0 Her pink areola were turning a dark shade of brown.\u00a0 The skin puckered as it expanded and her little nipples twisted, expanding as they darkened, too.\u00a0 And then, the nipples moved, sliding down her chest and lower to the ground.\u00a0 Holden watched them become more full.\u00a0 Swelling before his very eyes.\u00a0 Blue veins stood out brightly against her pale skin as her breasts became engorged.<\/p>\n

A single white dot of liquid welled from the tip of her left breast.\u00a0 It dripped to the ground as another drop of milk formed.\u00a0 Dana rocked her hips back and up, pressing her cheek to the ground.\u00a0 She groaned as her hips shook.\u00a0 The small bump above her ass bulged further, pulling the bare skin into a small stump of a tail that began to curve upward.\u00a0 Fur grew in patches around her shoulder blades, spreading in waves down her sides before more sprouted around her spine.<\/p>\n

Holden stood on shaky legs, one hand on the arm of the couch.\u00a0 He took a step toward the bedrooms.<\/p>\n

“STOP!” Jules roared.\u00a0 Holden looked back to see her on her knees.\u00a0 He watched as the bones of her ribcage pressed against her skin.\u00a0 She growled loudly, clawing at the floor in pain.\u00a0 Fur sprouted from her slim thighs in a rough line down to her knees.\u00a0 He couldn’t read the expression on her face anymore. She wasn’t human.\u00a0 Not anymore.\u00a0 But, he almost thought she looked sad.\u00a0 Like she was begging him.\u00a0 Her voice rumbled, changing the words as she herself changed.\u00a0 “Don’t.\u00a0 Don’t rrrrrrun.\u00a0 Doorrrr-tt.”<\/p>\n

Holden took another step and then, suddenly, the room spun around him and he tasted blood in his mouth.\u00a0 He saw the ceiling and the overhead lights wavered above him.\u00a0 Vibrating like ripples in the water.\u00a0 Jules was on top of him.\u00a0 Straddling him.\u00a0 Growling loudly.\u00a0 Her breasts were inches from his face and he could feel the heat from her sex against his exposed stomach.<\/p>\n

“D-d-d,” the young man tried to say.\u00a0 He turned his head and spit, weakly, feeling it dribble from the corner of his mouth. There was so much pain but he couldn’t feel his fingers or toes any more.\u00a0 He reached for her, awkwardly pressing against her breasts to try to move her.\u00a0 Light brown fur sprouted lazily around his fingers.<\/p>\n

Jules leaned down, pressing her nose against the corner of the man’s jaw.\u00a0 He felt her nose go cold on his skin.\u00a0 Wetness followed as she breathed deeply of him.\u00a0 She rumbled low in her throat and then licked the man’s neck.\u00a0 Holden tried to push her again.\u00a0 He felt her heavy, furred breasts and accidentally flicked a thick nipple while weakly struggling against her.<\/p>\n

“Mmmmmrrrrrr,” Jules groaned, licking Holden’s neck again.\u00a0 She pushed down against him, rubbing her sex against the rough material of his jeans.\u00a0 She could barely contain her excitement.\u00a0 She could smell his hot blood rushing through him.\u00a0 She could taste<\/em><\/strong> it just be scenting him.\u00a0 She felt the sharp metallic tang as spikes in her nipples, gut and lower belly.\u00a0 Her teeth ached.<\/p>\n

“Hooorrrdd-” the word ended abruptly with a sharp crack.\u00a0 Jules blinked away pain as her muzzle pushed forward again.\u00a0 Her sharp, crowded teeth shifted on a longer jaw and blood dripped down to Holden’s face and hair.\u00a0 Jules growled, shaking her head against the pain.\u00a0 Fur crept up slowly from her neck and along the base of her jaw.\u00a0 She lapped at her pebbled black nose.\u00a0 Her sweat mixed with her growing fur to fill the air with her musk.<\/p>\n

Holden shook his head slowly back and forth.\u00a0 The edge of his vision was turning black and now he couldn’t feel his legs.\u00a0 Air whistled through his throat as he desperately tried to breath.\u00a0 The young man pushed once feebly and then dropped his arms.\u00a0 He worked his mouth but couldn’t find the energy to even try and speak.<\/p>\n

Blood spurted into the air and Holden twitched, his legs jerking.\u00a0 Jules sat back, Holden’s blood on the skin and fur along her muzzle.\u00a0 She blinked as she chewed and swallowed reflexively.<\/p>\n

Warm blood and meat.\u00a0 She shivered and her hackles stood on end.\u00a0 Goosebumps rose along the patches of bare skin on her arms and back and she moaned, rocking her hips against the young man’s leg.\u00a0 The tuft of fur above her sex was soaked with her excitement.\u00a0 Still.\u00a0 Still, something felt wrong and she shook her muzzle, trying to think.\u00a0 Prey.\u00a0 Hunger.\u00a0 Lust.\u00a0 Blood.\u00a0 All of these flashed through her dwindling mind.<\/p>\n

sadness<\/em>.\u00a0 Said a small voice.\u00a0 friend<\/em>.\u00a0 The voice echoed.<\/p>\n

Jules’ black lips pulled back to a snarl and she shook her head forcefully.<\/p>\n

holden.<\/em> The weak little voice said.<\/p>\n

Looking down, Jules felt something cold grip her heart.\u00a0 Holden lay bleeding under her.\u00a0 Dying as his blood spurted from his ruined neck with each fading beat of his heart.\u00a0 Her heavy chest was completely covered in light brown fur marked with the dark red of her friend’s blood.\u00a0 Her panties were pulled tight against her large, furred ass and the black lips of her swollen pussy glistened in the overhead light.\u00a0 She felt her heartbeat in her clit and she growled with the need from it.\u00a0 Holden’s fingers twitched.\u00a0 Pale.\u00a0 Bloodless.\u00a0 He was watching her.\u00a0 Trying to speak.<\/p>\n

wrong<\/em>. The voice continued, fading.\u00a0 wr-<\/em><\/p>\n

Jules jerked her head around just as the door crashed open.\u00a0 In her bloodlust and excitement, she’d lost track of the male approaching her den.\u00a0 She growled at him in challenge.\u00a0 Then, before he could steal her kill, she tore into the prey’s belly, digging for the sweet meat and rich blood.\u00a0 The male continued forward.\u00a0 Powerful.\u00a0 Huge.\u00a0 She eyed him from the side and bared her fangs, long ears flat.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Holden slowly turned his head to the side.\u00a0 A huge, furred shape loomed in the doorway of the cabin.\u00a0 It was immense and pure black except for a bit of bright red in the middle of it.\u00a0 He heard nothing.<\/p>\n

Distant pain.\u00a0 In his belly.\u00a0 So far away and blessedly brief.\u00a0 The light was dimming.\u00a0 He watched the huge creature slowly stalk toward him.\u00a0 Why is it so dark,<\/em> he wondered.\u00a0 Why-<\/em><\/p>\n

The young man breathed out a final, rattling breath.\u00a0 His open eyes stared sightlessly.<\/p>\n

In a distant underground room, a lever was pulled by a technician, destroying a vial that released a dark red liquid into a long, winding groove.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Jules greedily tore through Holden, barely chewing as she swallowed muscle and fat.\u00a0 Occasionally, she growled at the approaching male, lowering herself in case she needed to launch herself at him.\u00a0 Her eyes kept sliding to the male’s midsection.<\/p>\n

She could smell him.\u00a0 She’d known about them as soon as she’d started to change.\u00a0 The two males out in the wilderness.\u00a0 Confusion at what she was smelling had turned to an odd arousal before being consumed by the hunger tearing at her body.\u00a0 And the female.\u00a0 A familiar female scent that angered her.\u00a0 She’d deal with the rival bitch if she came back.<\/p>\n

The male went to all fours and Jules froze, watching.\u00a0 He approached her carefully and she allowed it.\u00a0 Slowly.\u00a0 Jules’ fierce hunger was fading, replaced by a completely different need.\u00a0 She looked down the male’s body again, eyeing his exposed reddened cock.\u00a0 His thick knot bulged above his sheath, angry and swollen and hard.\u00a0 She licked her lips, cleaning the blood from her muzzle.\u00a0 Excited.\u00a0 The male circled her carefully, moving behind her.\u00a0 She lifted her still growing tail and her musk wafted toward him, making him growl. Jules bowed her head when the male shoved his muzzle against her wetness.\u00a0 He lapped at her and she pushed back, encouraging him.\u00a0 She lowered her body onto Holden’s bloody corpse and her stomach gurgled for more.\u00a0 She ignored it.<\/p>\n

The male huffed and growled and knelt above her.\u00a0 Jules roared and snapped, showing she was no easy meat.\u00a0 The male rumbled a warning at her and Jules twisted to bite at him.\u00a0 The male moved faster, his teeth clenching the thick fur at the back of her neck.\u00a0 The young woman twisted and squirmed but felt herself calming.\u00a0 She wanted<\/em><\/strong> him.\u00a0 This male.\u00a0 She wanted to be taken.\u00a0 Needed<\/em><\/strong> it.\u00a0 She lived by base animal urges now and this one was telling her to mate.\u00a0 To fuck.\u00a0 To breed.<\/p>\n

Thick fur crept up her arched tail as the male’s pointed cock probed at her sex.\u00a0 Jules moved, spreading her thighs while raising her hips and her slick, wet pussy opened for the male.\u00a0 He licked the fur at the back of her neck as he entered her.<\/p>\n

The pleasure of the male’s cock inside of her was unlike anything she’d ever felt.\u00a0 Her changed pussy gripped him tight, black lips stretching against his girth.\u00a0 She whined for him and hated herself for it.\u00a0 Red, flushed cheeks hidden behind the thick fur on her muzzle, Jules worked her hips back, feeling every inch of him until his huge knot pressed against her opening.\u00a0 She pushed.\u00a0 Hard.\u00a0 Growling and snapping at the air and Holden’s body.\u00a0 Angrily trying to fit his knot inside of her aching, throbbing pussy.<\/p>\n

When the male pulled back, Jules bit his forearm hard enough to draw blood.\u00a0 His heavy hand closed around her neck, slamming her to the ground as he roared, pounding into her suddenly.<\/p>\n

Jules’ pussy bulged, tearing and bleeding as the male knotted her.\u00a0 She kicked, clawing at the floor with her paws, hips bucking.\u00a0 Howling in pain and pleasure.\u00a0 She felt the tip of him against her cervix and wanted more.\u00a0 More of his cock.\u00a0 More of his knot.\u00a0 More of the pain that was lancing through her belly.\u00a0 She rocked back and her black lips closed around him, sealing them together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
