Chapter 75: Friends, Lovers and Strangers (Finals Week Part Five)

Day 233 concluded

(Story four was very good.)

I was ready to read one more before calling it a night when the unexpected happened:

**POMF**

Lurie and I were unceremoniously lifted up and then brought back down rather quickly.

“UHHHH!!!" The she beast moaned.

(Huh?")

There seemed to be an extra somebody beneath the 'yote girl and myself. I shined the light from the pad at my feet. There was an extra pair there next to mine and the coyote girl's paws- bull hooves. Tauren had slid in underneath us.

“See I told you we would win the dance competition sweetie!" The minotaur mumbled in his sleep. “How about we celebrate!"

*HUMP* *HUMP* *HUMP* *HUMP*

My tailbone was becoming even more wet at that point.

Lurie reached toward the night stand and turned my PDA back on.

“Alex, that *HAHHH!* will do for tonight."

“Lurie?" I asked the she beast.

“Tauren is, is *AHN!!* in one of his frisky moods." The 'yote girl said as we both went up and down in unison.

(I heard of sleepwalking but sleep-humping?)

Tauren while deep within a dream, had picked up both Lurie and myself and slid underneath us. He then wedged his calve maker between the she beast's rump cheeks and started um, copulating with her while groping and rubbing breasts.

During their activity Lurie was still holding on to me as I was brought along for the ride- my head between the breasts the bull was fondling. Judging by how aroused Lurie had been while we were reading, Tauren's actions must be really driving her mad now.

“MOO!!!"

(Uh oh! I know what that means!)

*HRNNGH!!*

*GRUNT!!!*

*SPLORT!!!* *SPLURCH!!!*

“OH YES!!! *PANT!!* OAH!!! YES!!!" The she beast huffed and moaned as she came coating my tailbone in her juices. That paled in comparison to the volume Tauren had unleashed.

I assumed that shameless bull had cum in Lurie's rump cheeks and backside because the puddle he made started creeping toward me merging with Lurie's goo. Pretty soon I had an idea of what her backside felt like.

Just after their mating session, the bull nuzzled his yote girl- Lurie relaxed in his embrace and fell asleep.

I on the other hand despite lying in a puddle of my friends' collective jizz, still wasn't ready for bed. I wanted to found out if Devious and Toby would get off that mountain they had been training on. I made the decision by myself to try to read the fifth story. Although without Lurie's assistance, It would take longer.

Story Five: You Are The Darkness And I Am The Light

It took Toby and Devious all morning (if where they were had mornings) to reach the top of the mountain- tall hill. It would take them most of the afternoon (if where they were did have such a thing) to reach the bottom of the mountain.

As Toby and Devious along with the two felines started to make their way down Horrible Hill:

“Runt, don't always be the first to lead." Devious warned his little bear. “Those who are first tend to get KILLED first."

“Is that how you bears face danger?" The lion warrior in the white loin-cloth said as he took the lead. “Hang back and let someone else lead?!"

“Yes." Devious said as he and Toby followed after the lion warrior and his cub.

“We warriors face all challenges head on!" Tracker said.

“And how many of you felines are there left in your tribe after doing something like that?" The were-creature asked.

“Thirty of us." Hunter said as he followed his father.

“That is not many." Devious responded.

“How many of you bears are there?" Tracker asked as the quartet moved further down the trail.

“Much more than that." The adolescent were-bear snarked.

“Devious... You don't play well with others do you?" Toby asked. “It is not a good idea to antagonize those who are helping us get off this dangerous, dangerous mountain."

“Yes especially since they are doing it out of the kindness of their own hearts." The were-creature said sarcastically.

“Devious! We helped them ascend, they are helping us descend." That is give and take that is what friends do- and maybe share their food."

“Wha?" Tracker said turning around to face the little bear.

“Well it did take a long time to reach the summit." Toby smiled innocently at the lion warrior.

“We can share a little of what we have can't we father?" Hunter asked.

“Fine." The lion warrior said.

“What makes you think we are hungry?!" Devious said indignantly.

“Because I heard your stomach grumble." Toby said to his protector.

“You most certainly did not."

*grumble* *grumble*

“Devious, we all did. Besides it should be about what equates to noon around here."

So the four sat down briefly to eat, or tried to.

“Is that another mollusk?!" Hunter said. It's huge!"

“They inhabit the mountain. We can take it all on if we work together!" Tracker said.

“Do you me all of them?" Toby said pointing to the twenty foot mollusk to their left, the fifteen foot one to their right and the twenty five foot one right in front of them.

“Yes! We can conquer all of them!" The lion warrior roared. "Let none stand against us!!"

“If you even attempt to, your tribe will go down to twenty eight warriors." The adolescent were-creature said sizing up the situation. “There is a time to fight and a time to hide. We best do the later."

“You would run from a fight?" The lion cub asked.

“If it is a fight Devious thinks we can't win. Then yes." Toby said.

The little bear grabbed Tracker's paw while Devious grabbed Hunter's and lead them back into the shadows where the quartet quietly maneuvered around their obstacles only to find more- killer mushrooms, nasty meat eating spiders and grab-you-gotchas on their way down the mountain.

Each time the feline warriors wanted to fight Toby and Devious persuaded them not to. Eventually they reached the bottom of the mountain bickering all the way:

“And that son is why we don't associate with other clans." Tracker said to Hunter.

“Perhaps you should." The little were said to the lion warrior. “We could exchange ideas and compare experiences and learn a lot about each other.

“Riiight. Well this is where we go our separate ways." The lion warrior said to Toby and Devious.

“Thank you Tracker for leading us off of the mountain. Good luck with your next test Hunter." Toby said to the two lions. “Perhaps we will meet again sometime."

“Perhaps." The lion warrior said as he and his son walked away with their spears in paw.

“Nothing to say Devious?"

“No."

“Really?" Toby asked his protector.

“I found those two rather strange. They had customs much different than ours- they dressed funny and used weapons instead of their claws."

“That is what it is about Devious. Comparing experiences, sharing knowledge (and not walking around naked)." The little bear said staring at the adolescent were-creature.

“Hmpf!" Devious said. “Their beliefs are weird- like them storing their food for future use."

“Actually that is not a bad idea. It would mean that we wouldn't have to hunt as much."

Devious looked at this little bear.

“Ok by we, I mean you." Toby said.

*rumble* *rumble*

“I guess I am getting hungry." The little were blushed.

Toby and Devious made their way back to the clearing in the Forest of Terror to start their search for something to eat.

“Bait, bait, bait. I am nothing but bait waiting for something to come by and eat me." Toby said starting his sing-song.

“This time Runt..."

“Yes, yes. No puddle-ing. I will trust your warrior instinct and hunting skills." The little were said.

Toby sat in that clearing for a good forty minutes before the two had a nibble.

RORGE?!

It was another unknown! It emerged from the brush in front of Toby just like before.

Ok. I guess having another for dinner would be acceptible.

“Uh, Runt perhaps we should go fishing instead." Devious said emerging from the trees behind his little bear.

“Why?" The little were said turning to his protector.

RORGE?!

RORGE?!

rorge?!

“It brought friends! Run!!"

Toby looked to his left, right and front. They were surrounded by seven fire creatures!

The two quickly darted back into the forest with the creatures in pursuit. This time they were on the menu.

“Be very quiet." Devious whispered as he and Toby snuck from tree to tree doubling back toward the ocean. Carefully they eluded their pursuers.

“Some nights you get the unknown and some nights the unknown gets you." Toby gasped. "Or almost."

“That is the next lesson little bear sometimes it is best to cut your losses and run. Had we stayed and fought, we would have been finished."

Toby nodded. “So now what?!"

“We go fishing." Devious said pulling Toby to the ocean's shoreline.

“What about the sea dragon?"

“It is safe.... for now. Now watch."

_Toby watched as adolescent were-creature stuck his paws in the water, paused for a second or so and flicked two fish onto the beach both were a 1/2 foot in length. _

“Wow!" The little were said examining their catch.

“Uh Oh! We better be leaving!" Devious said quickly grabbing Toby by the paw and running back to the safety of their hideout.

“What did you see- was it the sea dragon?"

Devious was silent as he pointed at a huge conical tentacled creature thingie easily thirty feet tall rise out of the ocean, look around and then sink back beneath the water.

“That is going to give me nightmares." The little bear said shaking.

“That is the largest squid I have ever seen." Devious said as he started eating. “Something wrong Runt?"

“I, I don't feel like having seafood right, right now." The little were said rolling over on his side trying to forget the horrifying creature he had just seen.

There seemed to be quite a lot of those around here.

“Alright." Devious said eating.

Toby was still shaking badly when Devious laid down to rest.

“Still thinking about that sea creature?"

The little were nodded. “I don't want to go near the ocean ever again."

Devious crawled up in front of Toby and wrapped his arms around him. Toby looked up at the were-creature who pulled him close and the two kissed- their nightly ritual.

_“Devious?" _

“Yeah Runt?"

“You have fish breath." Toby said laughing.

Devious laughed too as he rolled onto his back pulling Toby on top of him like a blanket. The little were's head to his chest and tummy to his groin.

There was that safe, warm, comfortable feeling Toby had come to recognize. He finally stopped shaking and was able to drift off to sleep.

Devious once again decided to make some SLIGHT changes to their sleeping arrangement before falling asleep himself.

_Toby was the first to get up the next what would have been morning but was really the next night in their dark world. Once again there was a weird sensation this time between his legs. _

Toby looked down as he rose to his knees, the adolescent were-creature had positioned him just right so that their penises and testicles were touching while they slept! No doubt he was also feeling Toby's bottom as well.

“EWW!" Toby shrieked. He had woken up yet in another lewd position with his 'friend'.

“What do you mortals say? Good morning?" Devious said stirring.

_“More like good a evening." Toby said stretching. _

“I followed the felines lead and saved our dinner; we can have it for breakfast." The were-creature said nuzzling his little bear.

“Thanks." Toby said sitting down to his left over dinner.

“I see you stopped thinking about those voracious sea creatures."

“About that Devious, I was wondering what is on the other side of the ocean?"

“Another island-continent much larger than this one and more dangerous."

“You mean to tell me that there are worse places than here?!" The little were said with his mouth full.

“Um hmm." Devious said as he started eating. “Why are you thinking about visiting?"

_“Um yeah, the exit to this place may be there." _

“Maybe, but no beast who has gone there has ever come back- I think our sea creature friends may be the cause."

“Oh, ok." Toby said looking down toward the sand.

“Hey little were, I will help you in your fruitless effort alright? Once you are trained that is." Devious said kissing Toby.

Toby was starting to like their cuddling and snuggling sessions. Although the kissing and smooching would take a long while to get used to.

“Say Devious?"

“Yeah Runt?"

“Since we are bonding and learning how to trust one another, can I ask you a personal question?"

“What is it Runt?"

“Have you always had a thing for males?" Toby asked the adolescent were-bear.

_“No little bear. Not always. A while ago I fell for another in the clan. We were close and spent a lot of time together." _

“How long?" Toby asked while eating.

“A number of what you mortals call years. In the end she was only using me. One night she broke my heart and hurt me very badly; she gave her heart to another she said that was more deserving."

“Wow." The little bear said. “What did you do?"

“After spending all that time together, working on our relationship- I felt angry, rejected and bitter. I did feel better when the warrior she chose died in a run in with some no sees. I moved on to some other relationships. All of which failed badly. Some time later I was reflecting on the futility of my failed relationships- it soured me. On that night I gave up on females." Devious said.

“Really?" Toby asked.

“All females." Devious said. “Males are less moody, less irritable, less manipulative and less likely to hurt you as...."

Devious suddenly fell silent.

“And what?" Toby asked scared to know the answer.

The adolescent were-bear didn't answer he just dropped the fish he had been eating, stood up and started to leave.

“Devious? Devious? What's wrong?" Toby called out to him.

That was weird why was the were-creature acting like that?

As he was leaving their hideout, the adolescent were-bear glanced back at his young charge. His face in a dazed look.

Maybe a bathroom break?! Toby thought standing up as Devious left. Toby decided that his 'friend' was not behaving right and decided to follow.

He called out to Devious as he trotted away to the northeast. Devious didn't answer. This was getting serious. Devious tried to abandon him before. Was this actually happening again despite their agreement?

_The little bear followed his 'friend' carefully for several miles sticking to the shadows like he had been taught. Devious seemed to be under the influence of something, but what it was Toby could not tell. The were-bear did not say a word during his trek despite encountering another unknown and a glob which Devious brought down without a second thought. _

Eventually they arrived at a remote cave very near to where Toby had met the bear clan on the promontory over a week ago. Devious entered the cave. Toby cautiously followed.

Within the cave, Toby passed corners and pockets off of the main entrance where he saw tribe members mating with each other like it was the end of the world!

There were two slender bears sexing each other quite vigorously- the female was on the bottom doggy style, while the male had his arms around her upper chest and tummy- his penis buried deep inside her. She had a dazed look on her face as the male plowed into her repeatedly.

In another 'room' Toby saw a strong male pin a female against the wall of the cave. The male burying his shaft deep into her. The female for her part had her arms and legs wrapped around him.

_Still in another 'room' was a larger were-bear on his knees balancing his female on his thighs while his head hovered above her breasts her back supported by his paws. Toby watched as he zap- zap- zapped into her with a devilish look on his face. The female had her head leaned back in ecstasy- huge grin on her face. _

What is going on here? Toby thought to himself as he past yet another 'room' where a male were-creature was sitting on one of the cave formations with a female impaled on his shaft. She like all the others was enjoying herself.

_If that wasn't weird enough Toby soon passed a 'room' that had several cubs crawling around as they were carefully being watched by members of the tribe. _

In another room he observed slightly older cubs being looked after as well. Toby was fascinated with what he had seen. But decided he better stay after his protector for fear of losing him.

_“There you are stud!" A female voice said. _

“Devious?" Toby said as he entered another 'room' off of the main entrance. He saw two female were-creatures standing in front of his 'friend'. One was about Devious' height while the other was slightly taller and a little more huskier. Both very naked and very attractive. (I guess there were benefits to the clan's dress code.) The one on his left wore two feathers in her hair and had tribal markings over her arm, tummy, muzzle, and cheeks. The most striking marking was on her right breast five streak marks around her nipple making it look like a primitive illustration of a sun. Her body paint made her appear quite sinister looking.

The second female to Devious' right was groaning and moaning like she was in some type of pain. She wore three feathers in her hair, was taller, chunkier and had similar tribal markings. But did not have a sun painting on her breast.

“Who are you?!" The two females asked in unison.

“More importantly who are you?! and what have you done to Devious?" Toby shot back.

The sinister looking female pounced on the little bear. “We asked you first! How did you find this place?!"

_“Devious and I were eating breakfast west of here when he started acting funny. He stopped eating, stopped talking and just started walking. I followed him." Toby said to the sinister looking were-bear. _

“Interesting and why did you do that?" The other female asked.

“He is my fri-" Toby started to say before correcting himself. “Err... he is mine."

“It was rumored that Devious had found another to replace me and now it appears to be true." The were-creature said.

“You are his former girlfriend?" Toby asked.

“And you are his boyfriend!" She shot back. “What of it?"

“Actually not- we are just close. So what is this place and who are you two?!"

“You first runt." The sinister looking female said.

_“Actually, that is my name. I am a wanderer from far far away." Toby said trying to remember his cover-story. “I left my clan over an argument with my leader. I guess I was dissatisfied with him, my life and my place in the clan and I just started traveling the realm trying to find where I fit in. I hooked up with Devious a few nights ago and he was showing me around his territory." _

“Runt is it? Well if you hooked up with that rogue, I guess it is ok. Welcome to our lands. I am Deception and the moaner and groaner over there is Docile and you are at the conception and birthing grounds of our clan."

“Wait, what?" The little bear said underneath the sinister looking female.

“I would advise that you see our leader and properly request her permission to hunt in our territory." Deception said.

“Why is that?"

“Come on! Your clan didn't have a similar law in your territory? If you don't you will be considered an invader and we don't take kindly to invaders." The female were-creature said.

“Little me?! Please! I am only concerned about Devious." Toby responded.

“Really? What is in it for you?!" Docile asked him.

“He is my guide." Toby responded. “Now what did you do to him?"

“Well don't be concerned he is perfectly fine- just under my influence."

“Exactly why did you bring him here?" Toby asked the sinister looking female. “This area looks pretty sacred."

“It is time for him to make his contribution to the next generation." Deception said standing up and walking over to her former boyfriend.

“Contribution?"

“Yes. As you might have noticed Runt, life here is very hard and death is always a constant. To prevent the clan from being completely wiped out our leader is obsessed with ensuring that for every warrior that falls there is another one ready to take their place. To that end she has decreed that every season members of the tribe should mate in order to ensure that there is constant supply of upcoming warriors- that is done here."

“You were about do that here and now?!"

_“This is the proper place to do so. It is quiet and safe from the dangers that lurk in the realm." _

_“But why Devious? I thought you two broke up?" Toby asked the female. _

“We did, but he is a very good stud and he has given the tribe strong and healthy cubs as compared to some others." The female were-creature said as she kissed Devious.

Devious still had that blank stare on his face. One so devoid of feeling it seemed like he would do anything and everything Deception would order him to do. Devious kissed her back.

“Obedient as always. Now come here stud." Deception said walking to a corner and lying down on her side. Runt, Docile you come too and bring the body paint."

Toby was dumbstruck. Devious' ex brought him here to sex? Damn, she was using him.

_“You still appear to be confused." The second were-creature said to Toby as they followed Deception and Devious to the corner of the cave. _

“Why did Deception choose to mate with her ex?"

“You have to understand that they were together for a long time. Since we are required to mate every season some members have preferred partners. Those two have bred some fine warriors for the clan." Docile said to the little bear.

“You mean Devious is a father?" Toby said as Deception started examining Devious' genitals.

“Apparently things are done differently where you come from. Here parents are only responsible for the conception and birth of the next generation. There are others in the tribe whose sole responsibility is to raise, name, educate and train the upcoming generation- to make them into warriors the she beast said grunting again."

_“If that is true that means that Devious, Deception and you never knew your parents!" _

“It matters not. Here the young belong to the whole clan. It has been that way for the longest time." Docile said as the two watched Deception coax Devious' penis to emerge from his sheath.

_After bringing Devious to a full raging erection, Deception laid on her back ordering her ex to come to her. It was time for him to perform his duty. _

As Devious approached, the she beast gently grabbed his penis and guided him into her. Once Devious had entered her, the pair kissed.

Deception encouraged Devious to make himself comfortable. They were going to be at this for a while. Devious placed both of his paws on either side of the female were-creature's shoulders and started thrusting into and out of his lady bear. In response Deception wrapped her arms and legs around her partner.

“Slow down stud. Slower- make it last. Yeah, just like that." The she beast said as the adolescent were-creature was rocking his hips forward rubbing his thick shaft along her vaginal walls. “Yes, I want to feel you, all of you."

_Toby started to blush seeing the pair mate. _

“Come, we must do our part now." Docile said grabbing Toby by his paw.

_“Docile what are we supposed to do?" Toby asked as they approached the mating pair of bears. _

“Witness the conception of Devious and Deception's latest litter." Docile said grunting again. “Here." The she beast said giving Toby some red colored body paint. “Place your paw in this."

Toby did as instructed. Docile did as well. The female were-creature then stood up and touched Devious on his hind quarters! She placed her paw right on his right rump cheek for a moment and then raised it leaving a paw print near his right flank! She motioned the little bear to do the same.

Reluctantly Toby touched Devious' backside marking his left cheek with his paw print. As he did the little bear realized that he had just touched his friend's ass while he was vigorously mating! But there was something more- Toby discovered Devious had a slightly muscular butt. Very cute, very handsome and very soft to the touch.

“Why did we do that?" Toby asked the grunting female.

“It serves as proof that Devious has mated and that this conception was witnessed. Those marks we gave him will stay on him for the next couple nights indicating to the entire tribe that he has done his part to ensure the survival of the clan. When Deception finishes we will do the same to her." Docile grunted in pain again.

“UUUNNNAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!"

“It sounds like they just did." Toby said.

“I hope you are ready for another round stud." Deception said rolling on top of Devious. “I am not quite finished with you yet!"

As their audience watched, the female were-creature moved into a crouching position her paws draped around her companion's neck. Devious' snout was mashed into her breasts and his arms around her back.

“You remember this position stud? Up and down, just like that, nice and easy. Let's get a good rhythm going. Yeah, just like that."

_“Wow, this was quite erotic." Toby said to Docile. _

_“Those two are quite the pair." She said placing her paw on the little bear's shoulder. _

“Look they are about to finish now." The she beast said as the two watched Deception's rump go up and down rubbing the shaft that was buried in it.

_Toby watched Devious' blank stare as Deception started climaxing for the second time. Then Devious did as well. _

*spurt* *spurt* *spurt* *spurt* *spurt* *spuuuuurt*.

“Wow." Toby said to Docile as the mating pair finished.

“Another litter conceived." Docile said grunting again.

_Toby and Docile approached Deception and Devious who were now just embracing after creating another generation of warriors for the clan. _

Docile gently placed her paw into the paint and left a paw print on Deception's right rump cheek. Toby repeated the same action with Deception's left rump cheek.

_“What happens now?" The little bear asked. “You assist her while we rest." Deception said. _

“OW." Docile said doubling over in pain.

“Is something wrong?" Toby asked walking back to Docile's side.

“I think the little warrior inside of me want out." The she beast said grunting again. “I believe my time has come."

“Yeah, an eternity after you and you lover came." Deception snickered.

“Anything I can do?" Toby asked. “You appear to be in quite a lot of pain."

_“Actually you can. Lie down own you back just like Devious did when Deception mated him." _

Toby did as was ordered. The female were-creature then crawled on top of him in much the same way Deception had done to Devious- placing her paws behind his head and jamming his snout into her breasts.

*Squee!!!* Toby said as he moved has paws around the chunky female to embrace her.

_“Whoops, that is my favorite mating position." Docile said moving to a standing position hovering over the little bear's waist. She then dropped to one knee with her leg and knee on either side of the little bear giving Toby a great view of her vagina as she spread her legs wide. _

“What now?" Toby asked.

_“CATCH." Docile said moving his paws to a cupping position just below her cub tunnel. _

“What?! Ewwww!!!" Toby said as the magnitude of the female were's words hit him.

“Remember these are the clans's conception and birthing chambers." Docile said as she started grunting and pushing. “You just saw a conception, this is the birth."

Toby didn't know what to say as he saw something start to split open Docile's cub tunnel- wide, it was the crown of a head that had started to make its way out.

_“Oh! It hurts so much!" Docile moaned. _

“Just a little more." Toby said encouraging the female were-bear.

The female grunted and moaned some more as she started to give birth.

It was slow, painful and arduous, but eventual a cub's head emerged and then a shoulder then another and two arms. At that point Toby had something to latch onto. He gently pulled the cub from its mother's womb.

_“Thank goodness." The little bear said as he inspected the gook that had splattered on him during the process while the she beast cut the cord and placed her cub to her side. _

“How are you feeling Docile?"

_“Not done." She said. _

“What? How?" Toby said staring at the she beast and then at her new born cub who also stared back in disbelief.

“Ominous never could just give me one warrior. He always had to give me twins." Docile said grunting again.

_“Ominous?!" Just the name alone was intimidating. Toby decided to make a mental note never to meet that warrior. _

The second birth was even slower and more painful than before for Docile. It seemed like it took forever for the second cub to make its debut. Deception and Devious sat down at her side.

_But the cub did. As soon as the head arms and neck appeared Toby pulled the little warrior out too placing it beside its sibling and mother. _

“Finished." Toby exclaimed.

“Not quite." Docile said as she started pushing again.

_“Another one?" _

“No." Deception chimed in. “The afterbirth."

“Gross!" Toby said as he watched that emerge from the were-bear.

After the painful birth Docile laid down on her side next to Toby.

“So what happens next?" The little bear asked the she beasts as Devious looked on.

Deception approached Docile and rubbed her paw on the chunky female's belly “HEAL". Instantly Docile was up and around again like nothing had happened.

“Nice trick." The little bear said as Deception and Devious inspected Docile's new borns who were quite quiet and already looking around.

“Ominous gave you twins again. This one is a boy and that one is a girl." Deception said.

“I'm tired of twins. I think I just might choose a new partner next season." Docile said.

_“So what are their names?" Toby asked the females. _

“That will be left up to them." Deception said.

“Wait, aren't you even going to bond with them?" The little bear asked.

_“No. My duty to the clan has been fulfilled. We are going to drop them off at the nursery. The members there will nurture, feed, educate and raise these two into warriors." Deception said. _

“When they come of age, they will earn their names based on their characteristics or physical traits." Docile said to Toby.

“You mean like you did when you became warriors. I understand- Devious, Docile and Deception." The little bear said.

“Very good. You are learning." The sinister looking were-creature said.

“So Deception when can Devious and I leave?"

“I will return him to you later." Deception said.

“But aren't you finished with him?"

“I am but we are not finished with you." The were-creature said nodding to Devious who ran behind Toby to restrain his paws.

_“I don't understand!" Toby said as Deception walked toward him carrying one of Docile's cubs. _

“You have an audience with our leader." Deception said as she placed a claw-tip on Toby's forehead.

_Instantly the little bear lost consciousness and collapsed on the floor of the cave. _

“You are going to tell her why you are here in our territory." Docile said as she and Deception left the chamber with the little warriors.

Story Five Ended

So Toby is going to have another meeting with Deceit, the same beast that tried to kill him nearly a week ago. What an unexpected plot twist!

I really wanted to move on to story six, but reading that story by myself had taken longer than I had expected. I glanced at the time and now it was 3:15 in the morning. Very reluctantly I returned the red pad to the night stand and settled into sleep like Soren, Tauren and Lurie had already done.

My reading time with the coyote girl did make me feel a little better about my upcoming exam but I still had a lot more preparation to do.

To Be Continued....
