  "writing": "Dante stepped onto the stage, held by the guard who'd found him. The guard forced Dante to the front of the line. \"This boy was caught stealing while nude,\" said the slaver, \"who'll give me thirty gold?\" A bush baby/red panda hybrid rose his paddle. \n\n\"We have thirty, do I have forty?\" A second paddle was raised, this time by a person planted to raise prices.\n\n\"Forty! Do I see fifty?\" The bidding continued for what felt like hours.\n\n\"Two-hundred-fifty for the boy. That's my final offer,\" said the hybrid. After conformation that no one would beat his price, the hybrid took the stage and paid for Dante.\n\nDante was led offstage by a thirteen-year-old snow leopard/ wolf hybrid. \"Hi newbie, I'm Tyler. Our master is Bair.\"\n\n\"H-Hi Tywer...I-I'm Dante.\"\n\n\"Alright you two. Let's get moving,\" Bair said as he walked up, \"Dante, I noticed your, ahem, problem. I have a shaman friend who can help with that. I don't have your room finished yet so you'll have to sleep on the floor. You'll do what I ask, when I ask it, or you'll be punished in anyway I see fit, understand?\"\n\n\"Yes, sir. I undewstand.\"\n\nBair and Tyler led Dante to a car, set him inside, and drove off.\n\n**************\n\nDante woke as the vehicle pulled to a stop in front of a mansion. All he could do was stare as he was led to the barn. \"This, Dante, is where you'll be sleeping until I get you room made,\" Bair said, watching carefully for Dante's reaction.\n\n\"Th-thank you sir,\" is all the young Dorabbimo said. He only planned on staying long enough to get the beast out of him, then he'd leave Bair and Tyler behind.\n\nThe small Dorabbimo went over to his pile-of-straw-bed after Bair and Tyler went to the main building. \"Dinner is at five, our appointment with the shaman is at six, and we go to the park at seven,\" Bair said as they left him alone. His body dropped onto it. It was not much, but it was his. He sighed softly, thinking about the past day. Then he remembered. \"My Teddy is in Beya's house!\" The boy was devastated. How could he have left such a thing in such an awful place? Would he ever see it again?\n\nThe hours passed slowly towards dinner. Though food was not scarce in the slightest, Dante only picked at the turkey, potatoes, gravy, peas, and stuffing piled on his plate. \"Dante, would you like to go to the park first,\" asked Bair who seemed genuinely worried about the smallest hybrid at the table.\n\n\"If it isn't too much trouble sir.\"\n\n\"Alright, there are a pair of pants sitting next to you. Put them on and we'll go.\"\n\nDante pulled the pants on then ran to the door, then to the car. Bair got in the driver seat and drove thirty minutes to the park in town. Dante exited the vehicle and went to the fountain, as he used to do when his parents were alive. He couldn't believe what he saw.\n\nSitting there, in the grass, was his teddy. \"Yay!\" He scooped it up and snuggled it. Bair came over to see what all the commotion was about. \"Sir, this is my teddy. He got lost yestewday but now he's hewe wif me again.\"\n\n\"I see. Well, are you ready for your appointment then?\" Dante nodded and got in the car, his teddy held close.\n\n**************\n\nThe fifteen minute drive took longer than Dante expected. He was led into a creepy, old room. The shaman, a nineteen year old spider-wolf-demon, stepped out from the back and took Dante's paw in his.  \"Hello little one. Do not be afraid. Though my name, Nightmare Blackheart, and profession are scary, I assure you, I am not. Step back into my office and lay on the bed. Bring your teddy if you'd like.\"\n\nDante took his teddy with him and obeyed the Shaman's orders. Nightmare stepped in and place a paw on the hybrid's inflated belly. \"You may feel a slight pain or slight warmth, but I assure you, you'll feel much better afterward.\" With that, his paw started to glow. The glow started out blue, went to green, and finally to red. At blue, Dante felt a tingling sensation. Green brought pain along. Red caused him to be warm. The small male watched his belly shrink with each stage. He could feel his herm body change back to male as Nightmare's paw changed back to blue. \"You are healed.\"\n\nBair paid Nightmare then took Dante home. 'Nightmare was right,' thought the Dorabbimo, 'I do feel better.' Dante said goodnight to Bair when they arrived home and went to bed. He slept until midnight, then he woke, and left, using the darkness to hide him and his teddy.\n\n**************\n\nDante reached town at three in the morning. He sat down at a corner, exhausted. A Driger dropped down from his perch silently. \"What's a little male like you doing out at three?\" Dante was too surprised to see the large male that he couldn't answer. \"No matter little one. You can come home with me, however, I want one thing before we go.\"\n\nThe Driger held the cub close. He kissed the young boy's neck and soon bit down. He drank mouthfuls of blood while the cub squirmed. Dante noticed that the adult's wings were gone. He also noticed that under the hulking Driger's fur there were scales. That's when he felt a soft-scaled cock enter his anus. Dante stayed silent as he felt the hard cock thrust in and pull out. He gasped as he hit the base and soon the hot, sticky liquid he'd become accustomed to filled his anal cavity. The hulking creature pulled out of the cub and walked hand in hand with the six-year-old.\n\nDante followed the Driger home. It took Dante two hours on foot. As the hulking male opened the door, the small hybrid saw a nine year old black wolf. \"Kyte! You're home! Who's that with you?\"\n\n\"Yes Kia, I am. He wouldn't tell me his name. I think he's scared of my size. Why don't you ask?\"\n\n\"Alright. What's your name little guy?\"\n\n\"D-D-Dante...nice to meet you Kia.\"\n\n\"Nice to meet you too. C'mon, I'll take you to my room. I have a king-sized bed. We can share it. Kyte will get you enrolled in school today so you can come with me tomorrow.\" Kia led the boy up a staircase and down a hallway to his bedroom. He opened the door and let the small boy get in bed. Dante stripped after getting under the covers.\n\n**************\n\nKia woke Dante at seven. Dante groaned and stood after pulling on a Batman bathrobe he found next to the bed. Kia showed the boy around, stoping whenever the six year old wanted to. Finally, they arrived at the dining room. There was a stack of pancakes topped with peanut butter and syrup sitting on the table at an empty chair. \n\n\"Go eat. Come to my room when you're done and we'll play some video games,\" Kia said and walked off as Dante sat at the table. The small male was in heaven. The stickiness of the peanut butter,the sweetness of the syrup, and the softness of the pancakes made each bite the perfect bite.\n\nAfter breakfast, Dante washed his face and went to Kia's room. He smiled as he saw a game ready and waiting in the Playstation 3. His small form found a beanbag chair that he sunk deep into. The two passed the day by playing video games and eating Doritos topped Mac and Cheese. They soon shared a bed, having become close friends.\n\nDante woke the next morning for his second first day of school. He hurriedly pulled on clothes and ate. Nothing could ruin this day, or so he thought. Though not proper, he packed his teddy away in his backpack and ran off to catch up to Kia, who was already a block ahead. They lived half-a-mile away from school, so Kia would choose to walk. Everything went off fine, until passing period.\n\n**************\n\nDante was showing his teddy to some of the kids he met in his Kindergarten class when three fifth grade jocks walked up. \"Aww look. The baby has his stuffed animal,\" commented the tallest one. \"Yeah. I bet he wears diapers and sucks on a pacifier too,\" said the strongest one. The name-calling went on for a few minutes. Finally, the strong one took Dante's teddy and laughed as he held it out of reach. Dante, after a while, punched the one holding his teddy in the groin. The strongest one looked down and growled. \"That's it!\" He then ripped the head off of the bear. Dante cried as the jocks laughed and laughed, calling him a baby, a wimp, and worse.\n\n**************\n\nDante was silent on the walk home. \"What's wrong Dante,\" asked Kia. Dante didn't answer. He was too depressed. It was over. The small boy went through the rest of the day. He saw where Kyte had placed a pistol the night before. He went to bed with Kia, though he didn't sleep. He waited until Kia and Kyte we're sound asleep, then stood and walked to the table that sat in the middle of the hallway. He opened the drawer and took out the gun. He made sure it was loaded, put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.\n\n**************\n\nDante sat up and panted. He was at the orphanage, safe and sound. He scooped his teddy off the floor and fell asleep once again.\n\n",

He could feel his herm body change back to male as Nightmare&#039;s paw changed back to blue. &quot;You are healed.&quot;<br /><br />Bair paid Nightmare then took Dante home. &#039;Nightmare was right,&#039; thought the Dorabbimo, &#039;I do feel better.&#039; Dante said goodnight to Bair when they arrived home and went to bed. He slept until midnight, then he woke, and left, using the darkness to hide him and his teddy.<br /><br />**************<br /><br />Dante reached town at three in the morning. He sat down at a corner, exhausted. A Driger dropped down from his perch silently. &quot;What&#039;s a little male like you doing out at three?&quot; Dante was too surprised to see the large male that he couldn&#039;t answer. &quot;No matter little one. You can come home with me, however, I want one thing before we go.&quot;<br /><br />The Driger held the cub close. He kissed the young boy&#039;s neck and soon bit down. He drank mouthfuls of blood while the cub squirmed. Dante noticed that the adult&#039;s wings were gone. He also noticed that under the hulking Driger&#039;s fur there were scales. That&#039;s when he felt a soft-scaled cock enter his anus. Dante stayed silent as he felt the hard cock thrust in and pull out. He gasped as he hit the base and soon the hot, sticky liquid he&#039;d become accustomed to filled his anal cavity. The hulking creature pulled out of the cub and walked hand in hand with the six-year-old.<br /><br />Dante followed the Driger home. It took Dante two hours on foot. As the hulking male opened the door, the small hybrid saw a nine year old black wolf. &quot;Kyte! You&#039;re home! Who&#039;s that with you?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Yes Kia, I am. He wouldn&#039;t tell me his name. I think he&#039;s scared of my size. Why don&#039;t you ask?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Alright. What&#039;s your name little guy?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;D-D-Dante...nice to meet you Kia.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Nice to meet you too. C&#039;mon, I&#039;ll take you to my room. I have a king-sized bed. We can share it. Kyte will get you enrolled in school today so you can come with me tomorrow.&quot; Kia led the boy up a staircase and down a hallway to his bedroom. He opened the door and let the small boy get in bed. Dante stripped after getting under the covers.<br /><br />**************<br /><br />Kia woke Dante at seven. Dante groaned and stood after pulling on a Batman bathrobe he found next to the bed. Kia showed the boy around, stoping whenever the six year old wanted to. Finally, they arrived at the dining room. There was a stack of pancakes topped with peanut butter and syrup sitting on the table at an empty chair.&nbsp;<br /><br />&quot;Go eat. Come to my room when you&#039;re done and we&#039;ll play some video games,&quot; Kia said and walked off as Dante sat at the table. The small male was in heaven. The stickiness of the peanut butter,the sweetness of the syrup, and the softness of the pancakes made each bite the perfect bite.<br /><br />After breakfast, Dante washed his face and went to Kia&#039;s room. He smiled as he saw a game ready and waiting in the Playstation 3. His small form found a beanbag chair that he sunk deep into. The two passed the day by playing video games and eating Doritos topped Mac and Cheese. They soon shared a bed, having become close friends.<br /><br />Dante woke the next morning for his second first day of school. He hurriedly pulled on clothes and ate. Nothing could ruin this day, or so he thought. Though not proper, he packed his teddy away in his backpack and ran off to catch up to Kia, who was already a block ahead. They lived half-a-mile away from school, so Kia would choose to walk. Everything went off fine, until passing period.<br /><br />**************<br /><br />Dante was showing his teddy to some of the kids he met in his Kindergarten class when three fifth grade jocks walked up. &quot;Aww look. The baby has his stuffed animal,&quot; commented the tallest one. &quot;Yeah. I bet he wears diapers and sucks on a pacifier too,&quot; said the strongest one. The name-calling went on for a few minutes. Finally, the strong one took Dante&#039;s teddy and laughed as he held it out of reach. Dante, after a while, punched the one holding his teddy in the groin. The strongest one looked down and growled. &quot;That&#039;s it!&quot; He then ripped the head off of the bear. Dante cried as the jocks laughed and laughed, calling him a baby, a wimp, and worse.<br /><br />**************<br /><br />Dante was silent on the walk home. &quot;What&#039;s wrong Dante,&quot; asked Kia. Dante didn&#039;t answer. He was too depressed. It was over. The small boy went through the rest of the day. He saw where Kyte had placed a pistol the night before. He went to bed with Kia, though he didn&#039;t sleep. He waited until Kia and Kyte we&#039;re sound asleep, then stood and walked to the table that sat in the middle of the hallway. He opened the drawer and took out the gun. He made sure it was loaded, put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.<br /><br />**************<br /><br />Dante sat up and panted. He was at the orphanage, safe and sound. He scooped his teddy off the floor and fell asleep once again.<br /><br /></span>",
