The Darkness

	The creature awoke hungry, it arose a billowing mass of smoky tendrils flowing out of its indistinct shape. It stretched forth its senses for miles around its hidden den, searching. It had not eaten in two decades, the creature emerged from its den its eyes shown a dull red as it scanned its surroundings. It sensed life in several directions and choose one that it had not hunted in a long while. The creature melted into the dark of the forest, its passage barely disturbing the foliage around it. 
	The creature had no name, it was a left over from an ancient war. Created along with its brothers to strike fear into its prey. Created by Demon lords bent on ruling the terrestrial plane, once numbering thousands, the creature was alone, it had not run into another of its kind for an age. The gateway it had entered this world was long gone, the creature reasoned, for it was alone now,  many of its kindred had been trapped here on this plane when the gateway had been shut. The more aggressive of its kind had continued to attack and were killed off. 	
	The creature could only be killed through the use of special weapons. Long gone and forgotten by the world it now inhabited, even the knowledge of such had been lost through the passage of time. The creature had been surviving for thousands of years and did not know that it was relatively safe from the hands of its prey. It had learned caution, tho, after having seen  many of its brothers fall . It only needed to feed itself rarely, back in the time of its masters it would gorge itself on souls and deliver the excess, now it merely fed to continue its existence. 
	The creature sped along towards its goal every mile closer allowed it to gain more and more details. There was a town there on the edge of the woods, he could sense the inhabitants, their life force grew in his mind as he got ever closer. It was an electric feeling inside him, it set his being on fire, he must feed. Its long ago learned caution made it stop nearby and watch. It could be patient a bit longer ... 

	A wolf pup ran out of the door in the back of his house chasing after his brother and his friends. Derek bounded down the steps and shouted, "Hey wait for me ." 
	His brother Daniel, a handsome wolf boy of fourteen winters groaned . 
	"Go back home Derek." he said as his other friends stopped and grinned. 
	"You should let him come" said Seth a lanky raccoon lad "it might be a giggle if he watches." The other two ,  another wolf teen by the name of Lance and a muscular rabbit named Cooper both shrugged their shoulders . 
	"But i wanna go with you !" whined the little wolf , looking up at his brother , as he caught up to them .
	"You're too young to come with us." Said Daniel looking down at the wolf pup of only 9 winters.
	"Dude, just let the little guy come, he'll get bored anyways" Said Lance grinning down at Derek. 
	"Fine!" Daniel huffed as he threw his arms up in defeat and continued on into the forest. Derek let out a small 'woof' of joy and stuck out his tongue at Seth, who was making silly faces at him.

	The creature quietly observed the youngsters as they  moved off into the woods. The creature followed them at distance, slipping from shadow to shadow, avoiding the afternoon sun. It could sense others deeper in the forest and this little group was heading towards them. There were too many at the moment but the creature was nothing if not patient. It had survived throughout the many centuries by only taking lone victims. It had learned from watching the failures of its brothers, that the ones they preyed upon would band together and search when too many were missing. 
	
	The boys sauntered through the woods completely unaware of the evil that stalked them. Little Derek was practically skipping, happy as he was to be allowed to hang out with the older boys. Daniel was a little ways ahead of the group, whacking at bushes with a stick as they walked. The wolf pup knew that his brother was a bit grumpy. He listened in as Seth and Lance were chatting away, but he soon grew disinterested when he realized they were talking about girls. Derek walked alongside Cooper and looked up at the rabbit and asked.
	"So where are we going?"
	"Oh you will see " Cooper smirked down at the pup . Derek skipped along bored. 
	“How far is it?” He whined at Cooper. The rabbit looked down at him and grinned.
	“It's not far squirt.”he said. Derek frowned at the put down and kicked a rock. He did not like to be seen as little to the guys. 
	“Don't call me that you butt.” Derek yipped and tried to shove Cooper. The rabbit grinned at the cub and dodged and chuckled as Derek stumbled and flailed about. 
	“You are a little squirt,” Cooper teased and tugged on one of the cub's ears. 
	“Ow stop it jerk.” Derek squeaked and flailed his arms trying to protect his head. 
	“Where is your girl friend?”Asked the rabbit still teased. “The only way to stop being a squirt is to get a girlfriend.” Derek's face screwed up into a comical look of disgust.
	“Ewwww no way, I don't like girls. “ The cub said in all seriousness. 
	“What??” Exclaimed Cooper staggering about dramatically. “You don't like girls that is just silly. Everyone likes girls.”
	Derek frowned at the rabbit and said. “They are dumb and you are a butt cause you like them.” Derek tried to shove Cooper again but the rabbit was just too quick. He laughed at the cub and manged to pat his head as he dodged. Derek grumbled and sulked along in the rear after that.

	The boys finally reached their destination , a clearing of sorts in the woods. There was a fire pit and a few old chairs and other odds and ends and four girls . Derek groaned inwardly as the girls called out to the guys . He did not understand why his brother suddenly liked chasing and hanging out with girls . The little pup used to have so much more fun with his brother a few years ago . He kept on hoping that they would go on little adventures like they had used to . Derek pouted as he looked around the little clearing.
	"So who's the shrimp?" asked a lovely golden haired wolf girl as she threw herself into Cooper's arms . 
	"This is Derek, Daniel's little brother." he told the girl, who Derek later learned was called Sarah. 
	Derek looked around the clearing and watched as Lance scooped up a giggling Mink girl and plopped down in a chair . Seth made a beeline to a pretty lavender bunny and his brother wrapped his arms around another bunny girl and sat down . 
	"Jasz this is my brother Derek " Daniel said to the girl as the pup approached his brother .
	" i thought you were gonna to do something fun " the little pup whined at his brother . 
	Daniel pulled his brother down in the grass next to him . 
	"We are doing something fun" He said as Derek pouted. "You wanted to tag along so you are here now deal with it ." 
	"What's the matter shrimp," Said Sarah.
	“This is soo boring “ Griped the cub pouting.  
Sarah merely grinned and stuck her hands down Cooper's pants. Cooper closed his eyes and grinned. Derek watched them for a minute or two puzzled then realized that the wolf girl was playing with Cooper's dick . Derek got embarrassed and turned towards his brother . His brother however was laying down in the grass with the rabbit girl and they were kissing . Derek watched and noticed that his brother had his paws in the girls pants and was rubbing her. Jasz was thrusting her hips into his brothers hand and began moaning some. 
	Even more embarrassed Derek got up and moved across the clearing and sat on a rock.  Lance and the mink girl had disappeared tho Derek could hear movement and giggling coming from behind some bushes.  Seth was sitting with his back to a flat rock the bunny girl in his lap. She caught his gaze and motioned him to come over. 
	Derek hesitated for a few secs then got up and walked over. Seth was rubbing the bunny girl's boobs and stopped as he approached. 
	“What's wrong ? The bunny girl asked in a silky voice. 
	“Everyone is being stupid “ complained the wolf pup in a whiny voice. The girl smiled at him and reached out and took his hand . 
	“Awws its ok , come here. Maybe you should give it a try and see if you like it . “ She whispered and pulled him into her lap . Derek found himself sitting in the bunny girl's lap with his head between her boob s. She reached around him and unbuttoned his pants. The cub began to squirm and the bunny hushed him while Seth said. “Give it a try dude.”
	Derek squirmed a little more as the rabbit girl put a very soft paw down his pants and into his underwear. He began to blush red as she began to massage his little sheath and balls. 
	Derek began to get hard, but it felt weird to him, no one had done that before, if felt good too and his little cock went fully erect very quickly. 
	“See this is not so bad.“ The girl whispered .  
	“Good one Cindy.”Derek heard Cooper say and he looked in that direction. Cooper  was naked with the wolf girl straddling him . Derek saw that Cooper was inside the wolf who was grinding her hips into him, they were both looking at Derek and grinning.  
	Derek blushed even more and gave out a little yelp and pulled himself away from the bunny girl. He stumbled away from them whining doing up his pants.  
	“Dude relax.“  Said Seth as he began to grope the bunny girl once more. 
	“What's going on ?“ Daniel said loudly. Derek turned to see his brother standing up without his pants on. 
	“This is dumb, I wanna go home.“ Whined the cub as he did up his pants. Daniel looked over at Seth and Cindy who were suddenly not paying attention. Daniel turned to his brother. 
	“Yes well that is a good idea, why don't you go home. “ he said. Derek looked around and then towards the path that lead back home . He looked back at his brother standing there half naked and whined.
	“i don't wanna go alone “.
	“Don't be a baby, “ his brother said, “ You are 9 and its not that far “ Derek pouted and whined at his brother some more. Daniel turned and walked back over to his girl and sat back down . 
	“No,” Daniel said,” You can wait till I' m done or you can walk home alone and  go play with your toys.”
	 The older wolf boy turned his attention back to the bunny and resumed kissing and fondling her. Derek stood there feeling bad. His brother was turning into a jerk and did not want to spend time with him anymore. The little cub felt hurt and betrayed some. He watched as his brother and the girl began having sex and Derek suddenly became annoyed. 
	“Jerk! ,“ he yelped and turned and stalked off down the path towards home. 
	
	The creature felt a sense of excitement when the cub stomped off down the path. It had been hovering in the background the whole time observing the group. Too many for it to attack without revealing itself. It had never worried about such things in the past, back in the days when the portal was open. 
	That was its purpose, its mission to attack the children of the terrestrial creatures. Its job was to seek them out, sowing confusion and anger, causing a distraction from the advancing demon army .  The terrestrials reacted in fear and anger at attacks on their children .
	 And distracted they were for a time, the creature did not know the entire course of the war. It had done its job over and over harvesting the souls and sending them to its demon masters. When one day a shining pain had ripped through its consciousness. His brothers had also felt it, they had stalked and clustered around villages trying to attack in vain . Eventually warriors came wielding the shiny pain.   Many of its brothers had fallen at the hands of the terrestrials, It was one of the few that had sensed its doom and it hid and watched . 
	Its kind had not been made for self preservation, however there were a few , some may say flawed, who had acted for self preservation. In the years after the portal was sealed there was a lot of confusion for the creature. The ever present bond with its masters was no longer there. It had hid out in the woods with some of its kind and others who's jobs and functions were a mystery to it. The desire to feed did not abate with the end of the war however. And Soon one by one his brothers attacked, they learned how to avoid the shining pain or found places without it. In their greed , or lack of knowledge, they drew attention to themselves, they were hunted and struck down by the terrestrials. 
	The creatures numbers dwindled, but for every fallen brother the rest learned. This creature was alone now, the last time it has seen its kind was over 3000 years ago. It had awoken from its sleep to find the other two gone. It had searched for them for awhile roaming the huge expanse of the forest, but had not found them . The creature did not feel loneliness exactly, it did feel a certain comfort from the presence of others of its kind. Their absence was an irritation but no more.  
	The creature extended its weakened senses for miles and began to shadow the cub on its journey through the woods. 

	Derek sulked his way down the path kicking at sticks and stuff.  He was very mad at his brother and his stupid obsession with girls. Why could he not goof around like they used to he thought to himself. Derek did not see the attraction, girls were silly and played dumb games. He wished there were more boys around his age. There was a possum boy near by but he was nocturnal and his parents would never let him stay up that late. There was always Kenny but he was a nerd and did not like to run around and wrestle and junk. 
	Derek sighed and kicked a mushroom , he was quite a bit a ways down the path to home now. The cub heard a rustling in the woods and a chill breeze swept over him . He stopped for a moment and peered into the shadows. The cub cocked his ears and sniffed the air , he did not smell anything . He shrugged to himself and turned to go and felt something around his feet . The cub fell to onto the path with a thud, he looked down at his feet there was a dark smoky tendril wrapped around them. The cub followed the tendril with his eyes, his heart began to race as he saw the creature. A billowing mass of smoke and 2 red eyes that stared into him. 
	Derek started to let out a scared yelp only to have it cut off as more tendrils snaked out and wound themselves around his muzzle. The cub clawed at the ground trying to pull himself away his little heart pounding in his chest. More tendrils came and soon the cub's arms were immobilized behind his back. Derek tried to squirm and fight and began to cry. He felt his shorts and underware being ripped off. Soon a small small breeze caressed his naked butt, he tried to yelp through his shut mouth. 
	The creature pulsed with excitement and pleasure, this was what it had been made for. A thicker tendril emerged from its body and snaked forward and teased the cub's exposed butt. It ran over the boy's cheek and slid down under his tail. Derek felt a stabbing pain in his rear as the creature's tendril pushed its way inside him. He tensed up and struggled with all his might, but the creature held him fast. It pulled him backwards as the tendril was shoved into his rear ripping and tearing his little hole. Derek felt it squirming inside him and it grew painful as it filled him up. Derek was so scared now that he lost control of his bladder and peed. 
	The creature's tendril pressed cruelly inside the cub stretching his stomach out. The creature did not hear the boy's panicked cries and ignored his tears.  It was time for it to feed, waves a pleasure began to build for it. It held the struggling cub to itself and began to siphon. The energy it got from the cub felt warm to it and it tingled the creature's entire form. 
	Derek caught fast by the creature felt a wrench as the creature began to feed. He felt as if he was being drawn backwards and stretched. He cried pitifully, but his struggles began to lessen. The cub started to feel weak and his head was getting fuzzy. The creature pulsed in its version of orgasmic joy as it continued to suck out the cub's energy. The creature lost its sense of the world for a time in the waves of pleasure. All too soon though its pleasure had peaked and began to recede. It was half through feeding and it stretched out its senses once more to the world. 
	Derek had stopped struggling and crying, he could feel himself floating away. He could not feel his body anymore, and the though should of caused him panic but it did not. It was not painful anymore but it was difficult to think, he tried to remember his name and his family but nothing came to the cub. The light left the cub's eyes as his thoughts disappeared as a cloud of smoke eventually vanishes. The cub was still now and the creature's elation diminished. It left its siphon on though, normally it would stop and seek another leaving the body for others to find. But it did not want to be found, the creature continued and slowly the cubs body began to shrink in upon itself. Soon the cub's hair fell to dust, followed by the feet and hands and then in a puff of dust the cub's body disintegrated. 
	There was no one about the creature had sensed. It gathered the shreds of the cub's clothing and headed back into the woods. It felt better and full now, it stretched its senses to the max now scanning hundreds of miles. It found no trace of its brothers however, with a small mental pang the creature returned to it lair underground. The boy's clothes joined others in a big mound that was slowly rotting away more than half of it had already returned to dirt. 
	The creature resumed its wait, it did not dream as such but it could suspend it's thoughts staring at nothing until it got hungry again.
