I think a lot of the ideas here are super hot. I wish I could go into more detail but, maybe we can do some side-stories in november of what all happened during halloween? especially if my patrons are up to it. we'll see.

However, it isn't all fun and games forever, I really hope I do a good job on creeping some people out, but, the cliffhanger is something *straight out of my nightmares*.

I've tried to capture it as best I can, but, sometimes its not merely what you see that is scary, I tried to capture the atmosphere... but there's something bizarrely *hellish* about my dreams even when nothing is outright disturbing on its own... well, you be the judge.

I'd love to hear from peeps what side-scenarios they liked! ", "writing": "4 --- \n\n\tPinwheel Village's four districts all spiraled in on each other toward the city-center; near the center was Pinwheel Park. It was technically in the Mixed-District, and was showing all the festivities of and preparations for the hunt. However, a lot of different folks frequented Pinwheel Park.\n\n\tIncluding protesters. A mass of Consenter humans were lining up outside the park trying to convince predators and prey to call off the hunt.\n\n\tThe girls snuck past them and tried to find Phobe.\n\n\t``So, where should we look for her?'' asked Amberlina, looking around at the wild decorations.\n\n\t``We'll probably check the play-ground first,'' said Monique. ``She could be waiting by the jungle-gym, like at school?''\n\n\t``Sounds good,'' said Amberlina.\n\n\tThe three girls started walking, passing by a maddening array of fun things - if only they had money!\n\n\tThere was a cart selling rare ``homs,'' for those into that sort of thing. Monique loved a particular brand called ``pussy-snacks,'' which you normally couldn't get outside the wealthier Pred-District neighborhoods. Monique eyed the homs walking about nervously inside the glass display case, licking her lips at them.\n\n\t``Eww you eat micros?'' Snowflake hissed.\n\n\t``They're fun!'' Monique giggled. ``And they're homs, not micros.''\n\n\t``Well they're still tiny people...'' Snowflake said. ``What's special about them?''\n\n\t``Micros are shrunken down, tinnies live in their own small communities, and homs are raised to be food - it's short for homunculi.''\n\n\t``Where do you get these big words from!?'' Snowflake fussed, and then started covering her mouth. ``Oh gods what was that smell...''\n\n\tThey walked past another stand where the smell of burning hair was coming from. It was a giant rotisserie, cooking full-sized furs inside. They were completely skewered through the butt-and-mouth, and despite that and the heat on their cooking bodies, they were somehow alive.\n\n\tThis attraction had a big rope keeping too many people from getting too close to the vendor, and someone managing the lines started shooing them off. ``Hey you kids, adult-only customers.''\n\n\t``Yeah yeah,'' Monique fussed, and the kids avoided the vendor of actual straight-up cooking cannibalism.\n\n\tSnowflake looked back at the giant machine that was miraculously cooking the fur off of living prey, their trembling forms had something lewd instead of painful about them... was being cooked alive somehow not agonizing?\n\n\tThere was a smell of ozone coming from that vendor, not just burnt hair. It made Snowflake's hair stand on end.\n\n\t``There's magic in the air...''\n\n\t``Yeah, great, isn't it?''\n\n\tThe two girls now walked past a horse and a badger, the two girls were dressed as witches, and much older than the three girls. Both of them were eating caramel apples, and it made Monique really wish she had cash. Maybe she could bum some off of Phobe.\n\n\t``It's the best season for magic!'' said the badger, and Monique gave her a thumbs-up. The badger then turned back to her horse-friend, saying, ``usually the immersion laws prohibit it, but - ''\n\n\tThe badger girl continued, but the girls didn't catch the rest as they continued on. They were now walking through a line of trees. Cobwebs, fake-spiders, and ghosts dangled around them. Pumpkins were being set up and lit, and someone was slowly coaxing a gigantic snake out of its cage and helping it up into the canopy.\n\n\t``Remember to only start feeding after the sun sets,'' the snake's trainer cooed. The girls walked past this, and came around a bend. Now, they were near the big water-fountain that sat next to the play-park...\n\n\t``Oh dang,'' Monique snarled.\n\n\tCarly, her parents, and some other angry protesters were holding signs and trying to get attention at the fountain. Carly and Monique made eye-contact, both glaring at each other.\n\n\t``The Laws are strict and clear, no Predators are allowed into the Consent District, and yet, that law was violated!'' an adult shouted. ``It is clear that, to help in catching the killer, the hunt should be called off! Look inside your hearts, you know it's the right thing to do!''\n\n\tThese Consenters were trying to spoil everyone's fun... Monique hated it. It was weird but, a lot of Predator B furs and scalies were actually trying to talk reasonably with the Consenters, and some of them were even in agreement.\n\n\t``C'mon, let's ignore them,'' Monique said, and guided the girls past the protesters, Carly sticking her tongue out at them as they went passed. Her costume was still a bit stained on the back...\n\n\tPhobe, in Monique's good intuition, was indeed waiting by the jungle-gym. She sauntered up to them, burping and smiling with satisfaction. ``Hey girls.''\n\n\t``Hi!'' Monique cheered. ``Wow, protests huh?''\n\n\t``They're being peaceful so far,'' said Phobe. ``My mom's watching over things.''\n\n\t``Cool,'' Monique said, nodding. ``Hey, did you just eat something?''\n\n\t``Yeah, I got a bag of homs and swallowed them up, they're still wiggling inside me.'' She burped into her palm, and excused herself.\n\n\t``Wow, look at you little-miss-moneybags,'' Monique laughed. ``Hey, you wouldn't be able to spot me would you?''\n\n\tPhobe cocked her eyebrow. ``Greedy aren't you?''\n\n\tMonique laughed, rubbing her head. ``Well, when else am I going to see all this cool stuff in town? The only town that has 24-hour magic-use is Crucible, and that's like, a day's drive!''\n\n\t``Fiiine, we'll go get everyone some treats,'' Phobe said, rolling her eyes. ``I do have more money than I know what to do with... But let's not attract unwanted attention.''\n\n\t``I don't want attention,'' Snowflake said, shivering. ``But, what's there for me to have? I'm Prey, I don't want to eat anyone, even if they are tiny, not even mice.''\n\n\t``Cotton-candy for days,'' Phobe replied, and Amberlina and Snowflake's eyes both lit up. ``C'mon.''\n\n\t\n\n5 ---\n\n\t``Do you see him yet?'' Sula asked impatiently.\n\n\t``No, I don't,'' Serra said, picking at her teeth. ``It is a little like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I promise you my little dear, he won't stay hidden for long.''\n\n\t``Are you sure he's a Lord?'' Sula asked, looking up at the big horse-herm. Sula had learned so much from her already, but she still felt powerless when talking to the demon...\n\n\t``Don't you worry about a thing,'' chuckled Serra. ``He's hiding among the other Licenses, but I cannot be fooled easily. If we see him, I'll know... It just makes it harder for me to smell out his blood trail. But as long as I have your blood in me, I'll find the scent.''\n\n\t``And then you'll hard-vore him, right?'' Sula asked excitedly. ``Just like those Consenters?''\n\n\t``Maybe...'' Serra laughed. ``If his soul re-enters this world's reincarnation cycle, he still wins, doesn't he? I might find something else to do with him...''\n\n\tSerra's stomach grumbled, and she patted it. ``I am surprised how easily people, even these so called Consenters, can go missing without raising alarms. I think it is time for another snack Sula. Let's err on the side of caution and try not to be caught.''\n\n\t``I'm really sorry,'' Sula pleaded. ``I seriously messed up! They wouldn't be protesting if I hadn't gotten caught!''\n\n\t``Silence, you're being too loud,'' whispered Serra, becoming concerned as Sula's tone became charged.\n\n\tThe badger quieted down, shrinking away.\n\n\t``I promise, the man who hurt you will suffer... And after that, I'll have the sustenance these Consenters cannot provide... Then I shall rise quickly in this world.''\n\n\tSula grimaced and nodded. ``You'll let me serve you still?''\n\n\tSerra's eyes flicked at her, and she smiled. ``Of course, little Sula... if that is what you desire. Serve me as a chef, over and over again.''\n\n\t``Yes,'' Sula mumbled. ``Teach me how.''\n\n\t``Yesss...'' Serra laughed, stepping toward a passing gaggle of Consenter high-school girls who had come to watch the protest. ``Teach you how indeed.''\n\n\tA kind of dark filter, or haze, surrounded Serra as she opened her maw, drifting it towards the human girls... The haze enveloped the girls, and they vanished from the perception of others...\n\n\tSula skirted this perception-bending mist, needing to keep people from walking past its boundary, at least for a moment.\n\n\t``You've had your fun,'' Serra whispered, and the girls yelled with surprise.\n\n\tThe high-schoolers started to turn, seeking the whisper, but got a more immediate answer as Serra's arms became disfigured, bony spikes, and clasped around the screaming lot.\n\n\t``What the fuck!!''\n\n\t``Ahh, woah, let me go!''\n\n\t``Woah woah woah!''\n\n\tAt first they commented on something about costumes, but as soon as Serra lifted them into the air they started screaming. Serra started dragging them to the trees, so that her protective mist would not be crossed as easily.\n\n\t``Stop, stop, we're Consents, we're Consents!'' one of them cried.\n\n\t``What a shame,'' Serra laughed, and with a shift in her thinking, compelled her Lady-status over them.\n\n\t``No... wait, what?!''\n\n\tThey confabulated in panic, these humans couldn't really sense the Licenses as accurately as the furs, but the demon could tell they'd sensed what she'd done. Serra was able to change the way her License felt! It was easier to hide as Predator B, instead of a glaring bullseye like her Lady License. How lucky that Serra had had a powerful License for her to double-as! They couldn't figure out her true nature, but all they needed to know was their place!\n\n\tSerra breathed heavily over one of the girls, licking her face. ``Do you taste that meat and blood on my breath?'' she muttered. ``Do yourself a favor and consider what will have to happen if I can't swallow you down whole.''\n\n\t``Please... stop this...'' the girl cried, the other girls fighting harder to escape now that the first prey had been selected. Or so they thought.\n\n\t``Ha! That goes for all of you girls! I'm not above skewering you...''\n\n\tShe jostled one of her bladed arms, its dark, sharpened marrow-blade catching the attention of the girls. Serra chuckled as they quit fighting.\n\n\t``Good, good. Let me re-educate you on what consent actually is. The gods of your world seem to think it is implicit and cannot be taken away. Do you know what I am?''\n\n\t``What...?! A freaking monster?'' the middle-girl cried, and then aimed her elbow at Serra's stomach. Instead of causing injury, she compelled Serra to belch a rank, burning cloud over the girl.\n\n\tShe yelled in disgust and clenched her eyes! Her skin began to burn, and they all sensed a great heat on her breath, like a broiler had been opened too close to their faces. More than that, her mere breath seemed enough to digest some of the poor girl's skin!\n\n\t``You taste the others?'' Serra laughed. ``You'll be fine, as long as you consent to me... Your world has taught you that consent is about wants and desires, but it is merely a contract! I only care about that, I only answer to that... If you care about your souls, you'll consent to a new contract with me, me and my gut. If I am forced to devour you the hard way, your souls won't reincarnate in this world - they'll go to the Outside, where more of me await you.''\n\n\t``More of... what the fuck are you?!'' the girl in Serra's right-arm cried.\n\n\t``What am I?'' Serra cooed, smiling. She chuckled, and, choosing to speak with the voice of the person who had hurt the girl most in life... a voice that immediately cowed her as it passed the creature's lips... she answered her!\n\n\t``The unnatural world.''\n\n\t``No...'' The girl shivered, and grew limp in Serra's arms.\n\n\tLaughing, Serra let her go and spun around to point her ass at the girl's face. ``Just sit there while I sit on you. Don't worry about your clothes, my colon will turn anything into shit.''\n\n\tThe girl began full-body sobbing while Serra straddled her legs and began to ease her shapely horse-ass down onto the girl's face. The newly-``consented'' prey began screaming as her face disappeared into Serra's butt, being met with something she hadn't been expecting - a mouthful of burning hot ash.\n\n\t``Unng!'' Serra pined, feeling her ass fill up with cooking prey. She let herself slip down by several feet, until the shaking prey's stomach was completely encased. She kicked feebly, before going still.\n\n\tShe looked at one of the remaining girls, her eyes flashing. ``Did I say that my colon was full of shit? I should have clarified... I'm more like a crematorium.''\n\n\t``Oh please no!'' the girl cried before Serra's mouth enveloped her head, and a near-boiling spit poured down her face. She belched while she began swallowing the girl's torso, cooking her alive in hot, burnt-flesh stained air, an air that itself was acidic.\n\n\tSerra tossed the girl up and caught her butt on the flat-edge of her sword-like arm, and began tilting her head back. She gobbled the human up almost like a sea-bird, smacking the human's ass on the way down. She stopped squirming by that time, while Serra's stomach bloated from the other end - -her ass-cheeks moving with the motions of anal-swallowing. Both ends of her digestive system consumed greedily, as the third girl could only watch in macabre fascination at the ease this predator could consume prey.\n\n\tSoon only the girl's feet were poking out of Serra's mouth. With a grotesque crunch, she bit them off at the ankles and swallowed the rest of the girl. Her free-arm morphed back into a hand, and she caught the girl's feet. Serra licked her chops, savoring the taste, before popping the feet into her maw like popcorn.\n\n\tSerra dropped the last girl onto the ground as she crunched up her last morsel, chewing thoroughly before a sickening swallow.\n\n\tThe girl cried at her feet. ``I'll do anything, but please, don't kill me like that...''\n\n\t``Why do you care?'' Serra laughed. ``Yes, it will be painful, but you are reborn in this world as long as your death meets the expectations of this world, its gods. I have done this for them, they are dead, but they shall also live.''\n\n\tShe glared and pointed her blade at the woman's head. ``This, however, as clean and simple and removed from depravity as it would be to simply puncture that think-sac of yours... this would be the worst option for you. You do not want me to shock your soul out of this world, human, oh I can tell you that. The Outside is not kind to the uninitiated!''\n\n\tThe girl was confused, understanding not-at-all, yet she nodded her head.\n\n\t``Yes, this is the true nature of consent,'' Serra laughed. ``It is not a thing of understanding!~ Like a contract, it does not matter if all those involved understand what is happening to them or appreciate it. Implicit feelings are a base thing, and your gods are base. True consent is simple, even if you struggle, you consent as long as you lacked the power to stop what was happening to you. In this way, your entire world will soon... consent to me.''\n\n\tSerra knelt down, tipping the girl's chin up with her blade, forcing them to lock-eyes. ``And as long as you `consent' to me, you will not face worse, for this world's laws will still protect your soul from the Outside. Show me you understand, now, small human, and let yourself become prey for my acolyte.''\n\n\t``What?'' Sula gasped, with the human girl turning her eyes toward the badger.\n\n\t``That bitch? Sula...? But... Wait does that mean you're Serra?''\n\n\t``Oh, so you know of my vessel? I am not Serra, but I shall accept this name for now. Nevermind that, my acolyte is in need of training. Sula, entertain me!''\n\n\t``I... don't... think I'm ready,'' Sula panted, looking over the human girl and back to Serra. ``What if I panic and start to choke? I'm a Consent, I don't... know how.''\n\n\t``Dear Sula, are you not learning my teachings? The only way to maintain your consent as you define it, is by being powerful. You need a healthy diet if you are to serve me, and learn to never be a victim ever again.''\n\n\t``Is this the only way?'' Sula asked, trembling.\n\n\t``Of course, why would I lie?'' the demon asked.\n\n\tBut Sula trusted ``Serra'', and closing her eyes, nodded her head.\n\n\t``Sula, wait, please...'' the girl began to plead, but a quick nick to her throat, just enough to draw blood, reminded her of what the demon was prepared to do if she fought.\n\n\t``Try and consent, why don't you?'' laughed Serra. ``It is your only hope of enjoying this! And who better than my acolyte? Her body must surely be more wholesome than mine! Unless you'd prefer my methods?''\n\n\tThe human shook her head.\n\n\t``Good.''\n\n\tSula crawled over to the human girl, figuring she should start at her feet. She began undressing her, and Serra impatiently began scissoring away the last-victim's clothes with her bladed-arm. The human cried as she was peeled, as each rough motion left a superficial, but stinging cut.\n\n\t``Hurry, my mist protects us but dumb-luck is ever our enemy, we must not be discovered,'' said Serra, who smiled at the thought of Sula screwing things up for her again, a little rush of the fear of discovery always delighted.\n\n\tSula plunged the girl's feet into her maw. She spat them out again and tried to work the taste off her tongue. ``Blech...''\n\n\t``What's the matter?'' Serra asked.\n\n\t``It's... I think it is her License... Prey taste delicious, this just tastes like... feet.''\n\n\tPerhaps it was the stress, but the human girl started laughing hysterically.\n\n\t``Shut up, I'm trying my best!'' Sula yelled.\n\n\t``Oh, I'm sorry!'' the human cried, her face contorted with terror but her voice bombastic and cracking. ``I'm so sorry I didn't wash my feet for you queen-of-being-the-devil's-bitch!''\n\n\t``Shut up!'' Sula cried. ``I'm tired of being pushed around! I don't care how gross you taste!''\n\n\tSula grunted and stuffed the feet back in her mouth, and began gulping.\n\n\t``Hey! Stop that!'' the human cried, and she tried to lean forward and stop Sula, but...\n\n\t``You've made your choice,'' Serra laughed, and moved forward to block her. She let the girl slice her breasts on Serra's blade before the human girl recoiled back, and let Sula work her way up her shins.\n\n\t``Better, now, would this pacify you I wonder?'' Serra asked, and flipped her short-skirt aside to let her thick cock slap the human's face. She began struggling it into the fighting human's mouth while Sula tried to inhale the prey as fast as she could.\n\n\tSerra fucked the human's throat, keeping the prey silent and busy while Sula started up her thighs. The girl was beginning to taste... alright, at least up here. It still tasted like boring old skin, nothing like the complex flavors prey were said to have... but Sula couldn't stop herself from feeling a sense of satisfaction when she felt the feet pressing into the bottom of her stomach...\n\n\tThe feel of human-ass in her mouth, the marshmallow-texture, was a far greater delight. Sula chewed on her prey's butt before gulping past, slowly moving from off the ground and into a sitting position as she worked her way up the belly. Sula was soon nearing Serra's nutsac, accidentally finding herself with them on her face as her mouth salivated over the human's throat... She could still feel Serra throat-fucking the human, and by proxy, was throat-fucking Sula...\n\n\t``Mmmm...!'' Sula moaned... This was now just about bearable... Anything was worth it when she was this close to her mistresses decadent delights...\n\n\tUlp.\n\n\tSula soon found that she had no more human in her mouth, and instead was giving Serra head herself. Her demonic partner eagerly straddled her face, hands gently clasped to Sula's cheeks while pistoning in and out along her tongue. The two stared into each other's eyes, and Sula sensed that Serra, for all her vileness, did have some sort of alien interest with her, perhaps even love.\n\n\t``What a fine acolyte you are turning out to be,'' Serra said. ``See? You are a hungry lass. I'll be more than happy to grace you with dessert. Oh my hungry little girl, help yourself...''\n\n\tSula closed her eyes and felt a full-body shiver... as she felt cascades of hot jizz pouring down her throat...\n\n\tSula was pumped enough that the struggling prey in her stomach found herself without any room... She would drown in horse-cum long before Sula's stomach acids could do any damage. In the meantime, Sula drank deep and gasped for air like a well-refreshed jogger at a water-fountain, instead of a desperately throat-fucked victim. She felt nourished, and she almost wanted to go again... She cleaned Serra's cock of cum and watched Serra tidy up. Her skimpy clothes would barely keep her cock hidden, for now.\n\n\tThe two girls stood up, Sula struggling far more from her belly than Serra was from hers - of course, Serra's was mostly full of cremation-ash, her core-weight more distributed.\n\n\t``Come Sula, let us find an appropriate place for me to `sweep the chimney' before we carry on with our search!''\n\n\tSula nodded, and followed. They moved a distance into the trees before dropping their obfuscating mist.\n\n\tThe incident had happened, for all intends and purposes, under the noses of the protestors.\n\n\t``We need to protect Consenters!'' one cheered through their megaphone. ``We must be vigilant against rogue predators!''\n\n\tConsenters swarmed about, and some even stepped on the torn-clothes of the girl they'd ignored being eaten, unmindful, oblivious, uncaring.\n\n\tIt was a Predator who noticed this out-of-place pile. Phobe's mom, Tethys, had been asking people questions and helping to keep an eye on things, when she'd spotted the pile.\n\n\tTethys, like Phobe, looked something like the iconic Baphomet, a feminized ram with clear herm-proportions. She was dressed for her work as a detective, although slightly casual to off-set herself from costume-wearers who were going all-out. Tethys was a predator, she looked like Baphomet, and she even knew some magic... But this didn't stop her from considering the pile of clothes with a bit of fear and suspicion.\n\n\tTethys hated the idea of causing a possible scene right before the hunt was about to start, right in front of a bunch of protesters who would love for nothing more than more fuel for their fire... but she'd just discovered a possible crime. With resentment, she asked the crowd to start stepping back.\n\n\tThey got the area marked off, and the protestors all hung around and watched, some soon realizing that there'd been something that happened- - most went home in fear, for knowing that this happened right in front of them gave them the clear impression this was more than they could handle, but, Carly's family was not so wise. They began fanning the fire, saying that an attack had happened right under everyone's noses, and that this was why the hunt should be cancelled.\n\n\tTethys had created a scene for a panic, and while she had to, she knew that the department would prefer it if she tried to prevent it from escalating. Tethys told her contemporaries to let the public know that they had found evidence to suggest that this disappearance had been arranged by a human with a Prey license, and keep the identity-card of the victim found in the clothes under-their-hats until tomorrow. The white lie kept the Predators and Prey calm for now, and some of the Consenters lost some wind. With Tethys's team helping to keep the public somewhat calm and thinking this was just a routine vore-scene, the protestors couldn't do much damage for now.\n\n\tWe really should just cancel the festival, Tethys thought angrily as she plucked a badger hair out of the concrete and looked at it. A fresh strand of fur...! Excellent, maybe now we won't have to. I can keep my job and the city it's money and damned festival, if this works. Okay... Ah ha! You're mine. Now, where are you?\n\n\tThe public was discouraged, and most of them were incapable anyway, from using any kind of meaningful magic. Tethys was not in that position, her job was made easier and certainly important enough to warrant a little bit of magic.\n\n\tTo her vision alone, and no-one else's, Tethys hallucinated a strand of red light coming off of the fur she'd found, and leading off into the woods. It was weak, but, at least it was there - all evidence she'd found at the previous victims homes had been too old to trace. Unlike a dog, she couldn't track by scent, but the scent still existed. All it took was a little magic, and a proper application of willpower, to convert scent into sight. As long as the scent stayed extant, she could literally see it, and follow it.\n\n\tTethys kept her phone handy, just in case she needed to call for help. She'd just follow and observe for now. A bit unorthodox, but, a magic-using investigator was allowed some unorthodox liberties.\n\n6 ---\n\n\tAmberlina, Monique, Snowflake and Phobe had finished enjoying the day-time delights of the park and the Halloween festivities. The sun was setting, and a great deal of the town was congregating at the center of the park, where a big stage had been set up for playing music. The mayor, a predatory giraffe woman, came out onto the stage to give a routine talk about the festival, how the hunt works, and rules.\n\n\tMostly it was pretty self-evident, the mayor was mostly there to just rile people up and get them excited. It was just about time for trick-or-treating in the Mixed District (and Pinwheel Park itself) to get a little more dangerous.\n\n\tThe only nuance was that there would be safe-zones with timers to go off so that Prey could collect themselves, or make calls to family to say they'd not be coming home if caught, or make a second break-for-it. The safe-zones would expire when their timers ran out, and another timer would start before the zone was safe again. Predators could camp the locations, but, they might catch more prey by staying on the move! In practice, it seemed that camping the safe-zones was not a common move, predators wanted to chase down their prey! The safe-zones were also not very common.\n\n\tSafe-zones would exist, but there was no mistake that this was going to have a lot of anarchy, not unlike a school-yard game of tag-turned-brawl.\n\n\t``Are we really going to be fine?'' Amberlina asked. Her heart was starting to pound as the mayor started a count-down for the hunt.\n\n\t``Oh, of course,'' Monique laughed, ``I mean, prey far out-number the predators, we'll mostly just be competing for candy most of the night, but... at least now we know we have safe-zones if we get separated.''\n\n\t``I'm still scared,'' Snowflake mumbled. ``Maybe we shouldn't do this and just go back to a safer district.''\n\n\tPhobe pointed her thumb behind them, where at the edge of the crowd, an increasingly agitated gang of protestors were picketing. ``Unless you want to get beat up, you can't go to the Consent-District, the Pred-District will be worse than this, Monique and myself can't go to the Prey-District at all. So you two can bail out, but, you'll probably be totally alone.''\n\n\tThe prey-girls sighed. Being alone sounded really lame...\n\n\t``Alright, we're all in this together!'' Monique said. ``We'll all work together, we'll all get a lot of candy, and Snowflake and Amberlina will get the most candy in exchange for acting as bait for me and Phobe to clean up some riffraff!''\n\n\tThey nodded.\n\n\t``And I promise we're not going to eat you so don't sell me out!'' Monique chided. ``I'm not getting eaten tonight, no way!''\n\n\t``I won't if you won't, promise!'' Snowflake bounced, her bell-necklace jingling.\n\n\tPhobe blinked. ``Hey... you might want to pocket that necklace whenever you're not acting as bait... it might draw too much attention.''\n\n\t``Oh...'' Snowflake fussed, and undid the necklace to put away in her wrappings. ``Okay, there.''\n\n\t``Get ready, here we go,'' said Phobe, looking up as the mayor announced the hunt officially open.\n\n\tThe mayor fired a gun, and immediately lurched her head down to catch the small-child a panther-woman was carrying out of her arms, and swallowed the child whole, right in front of the mother!\n\n\t``Ahh! My baby-girl! Breathe honey! Uhh!'' the panther cried, as she noticed the mayor's head coming back down for a second bite... ``I think I'm coming honey!''\n\n\tGulp.\n\n\t``Yeah let's get moving,'' Phobe grunted, shooing the others with her as the crowd rapidly devolved into frenzy.\n\n\t``Yeesh the birth-rate might actually have to go up again after this,'' Monique fussed, watching as a huge elephant was scooping up an entire family of mice in one swoop of his trunk and funneling them into his yawning maw. ``Woah... did you see that? Uh, I'm getting second thoughts.''\n\n\t``Most pred's get full quickly,'' advised Phobe. ``In a few minutes the number of Predators will fall to like, only dozens. Let's just get to the streets, the park will have the most adults, and we can't really overpower them right now.''\n\n\tPhobe lead them through some underbush where adults would have trouble treading, leading them to a brick wall with a hole in it.\n\n\t``Awfully convenient!'' Monique laughed.\n\n\t``Oh, this isn't my first hunt,'' Phobe replied. ``Known this was here after someone jumped out at me from inside the wall.''\n\n\tThey came out to the sidewalk. ``It was right here, too bad they didn't realize I wasn't Prey, and they were only Predator A, so... into my nuts they went.''\n\n\tThe group looked around, and mentally plotted streets to take to get to a candy-rich neighborhood. They decided to stay on streets adjacent to the most-decorated ones, which would lead them on.\n\n\tThey moved cautiously. Once they reached homes, they looked for which ones were currently overrun with madness, and which ones seemed mostly prey-saturated. Kids their age were focusing on candy-collection, and so the streets without rides or bizarre tableaus-in-progress seemed to be the way to go.\n\n\tThey crossed the street, Amberlina noticing that down the next street over, in the turn-off, was some kind of mass-collection of ``bobbing for homs'' activity.\n\n\tMoving onto an actual trick-or-treating street, the girls watched as packs of Preys and co-dependent beta-Preds moved about from house to house. Preys were easy to spot- - again, they stuck to a `we probably taste good' motif in their choices.\n\n\t``Oohh, how about that house?'' Monique giggled, pointing at one with a nice, circular lawn and wide open spaces, festooned with air-powered decorations.\n\n\tThey moved, observing that, here at least, no one was yet eating anyone. They marched up the drive-way, seeing a gaggle of smaller kids rushing past them and giggling from their slightly heavier pales. Amberlina was carrying a pillow case though, it simply held more.\n\n\tThey reached the house front, where an elderly couple of mice were seated watching a tv on their porch. They handed out candy as the kids arrived, while watching a show that was best described as ``skunk Elvira.''\n\n\tThe girls cheered, ``trick-or-treat!'' before being treated with fat fistfuls! Treats, sweet treats! Phobe was somewhat-poker faced most of the time, but she was smiling with the rest of them.\n\n\t``What cute costumes!'' the mouse-man said, waving at Amberlina's especially. ``Oh you must be a Slave. Aww, if I were a Predator myself I could just eat you up!''\n\n\t``Hee hee!'' Amberlina mewled, wiggling a bit.\n\n\t``What a nice costume,'' he said. ``So you must like hot-chocolate! My friend Vince is handing some out on the street past this one; his house has this big haunted tree his kids are partying up in. Can you tell him I said `hello' if you head over?''\n\n\tAmberlina promised, and they waved goodbye as the next gaggle of kids came up.\n\n\t``This is nice,'' said Phobe, smiling. ``Maybe just focusing on candy is not so bad...''\n\n\t``Do you normally just hunt on Halloween?'' Monique asked as they made their way to the next house.\n\n\t``Yeah, it's uh... addicting. I crave vore basically all the time, a night where you can just focus on depopulating and no one stops you from going overboard? It's nice, but, it's starting to feel like I'm compensating for something else.''\n\n\t``That makes sense,'' said Monique.\n\n\t``What are you two talking about?'' Snowflake asked. ``You talk like adults! Why are you even in Elementary school?! Let's just get candy!''\n\n\t``Yeah, sounds like a plan,'' said Phobe, giving a small chuckle. ``Thanks.''\n\n\tThey visited the houses of this street, chanting ``trick-or-threat!'' and usually getting treats, although one neat house with a zombie-survival theme in its yard had given them a box of actual tricks, stuff like finger-traps and smoke-bombs and whoopee-cushions. The girls kept going until they'd gotten half of the houses, before they heard some sort of commotion.\n\n\tComing up the street from behind was a thick collection of shouting humans, and to Amberlina's nose came the smell of Consenters.\n\n\t``Uhhh, what...'' Monique mumbled.\n\n\t``Oh crap, let's keep going,'' said Phobe. ``Looks like they're taking over this street.''\n\n\t``You're joking!'' Monique shouted, and they and the rest of the trick-or-treaters began to flee the street as the borderline untouchable Consenters began to aggressively hunt down adults or teenagers, shouting at them and thumping at pamphlets.\n\n\t``Who do they fucking think they are?!'' Monique shouted as they crossed to the next street. ``They can't just ruin Halloween for us! Where are the cops?''\n\n\t``There's probably enough of them that the police are spread too thin- - we don't exactly have a large police force, we hardly need one,'' explained Phobe. ``Town's normally pretty safe! One of my Mom's is on the force, she tells me things.''\n\n\t``They're scared though, right?'' Amberlina asked. ``That's why they're doing this, to make people pay attention to how some of them went missing?''\n\n\t``Oh they didn't go missing, they definitely got eaten,'' said Phobe. ``And probably against their will.''\n\n\t``But that should be impossible right? So they're scared right? Maybe we should just listen to them.''\n\n\t``I don't fucking care, they're ruining Halloween,'' said Monique while they ran up to the next available house. ``They're certainly not scared enough to come outside at night and bully people in the street!''\n\n\tAmberlina blinked, something deep down found this an odd comment. Yeah that is strange... This is kind of stupid... They'd know that, right?\n\n\tShe shrugged it off, the next house had the front porch closed off and turned into a small haunted-house, and Amberlina stood in front of it feeling... scared. Curious-scared, of course, but the flashing strobe light and smoke coming out of the cob-web screens was alarmingly convincing of a place of terror!\n\n\tA sign was written next to the entrance: NOT ALL WHO ENTER, LEAVE.\n\n\t``Sounds like Predators live here,'' said Phobe. ``Weee... should wait.''\n\n\tThey nodded, and waited for a small hoard of trick-or-treaters to merge with, and proceeded inside.\n\n\tTerrifying, erratic `music' was playing, and twisting animatronics hung from the ceiling. Hiding in a crevice between two bits of wall was someone who walked out at them with a fake-chainsaw that played convincing sound-effects as the kids walked past. They all screamed and scattered, some fleeing the porch, others moving cautiously forward. A grim-reaper sat in an arm-chair near the door, next to a cauldron of candy, and big tub of apples.\n\n\t``Stop!'' the reaper shouted, holding up a hand. ``All who wish to take candy must first reach into the River Stix! Attempt to take a skull if you dare!''\n\n\tThe kids lined up to see into the tub. It was hard to see inside, and it was filled with apples that had painted skulls on them.\n\n\tKids started taking apples, one by one, before going to the cauldron to take their candy and run out in a panic!\n\n\tAmberlina had about to reach in when a small bat-boy shunted past her to claim an apple, and - \n\n\t``RAAARR!''\n\n\t``YEEAAEEEK!'' the bat yelled, as a Sobek-clad crocodile-scaly rose from the water like from a coffin! He nabbed the squealing bat-boy and lifted him up before his maw!\n\n\t``The snackrifice is chosen!''\n\n\t``Wait wait wait, no, don't eat me!'' the bat squealed.\n\n\t``My belly awaits you child! You will be digested like dozens before you!''\n\n\tHe laughed and patted his squishy, bulging guts, which burbled with faint yells from within and the mashing sounds of thoroughly-digested children.\n\n\tThe other children stared in horror, and fascination, as the crocodile man opened his drooling maw and began lowering the crying bat-boy down into his throat...\n\n\tThen he pulled him out, snapping his fingers. ``Oops, almost forgot. Honey?''\n\n\t``Oh yes,'' the reaper said and held up a plate of caramel apples. ``Happy Halloween!''\n\n\tThe confused bat took one. ``Thanks?''\n\n\t``Yeah, Happy Halloween, see you next-life!'' Sobek said and then tossed the bat into his mouth. With a snap, only the kicking legs remained, and then in three short gulps Sobek had tucked the bat-boy, caramel apple in hand, into his stomach.\n\n\t``Urp ulp, bup... Ahh... tasty!'' He laughed and patted his stomach, looking over the remaining kids. ``Who will next dare the River Stix?''\n\n\tHe then sank back into the tub of water and apples, and a few kids made the calculated decision to leave the porch of dreaded anachronisms.\n\n\tMost kids, including Amberlina and her group, took an apple and started to leave, hearing Sobek rise back up to claim the last child from the group they'd merged with, grasping a little bear-girl.\n\n\t``Oh nooo!'' she yelled. ``Please, don't eat me!''\n\n\t``Sorry lass, but, Sobek hungers! Here, have a caramel apple!''\n\n\t``Oh, cool!'' she cheered before being flung into her predator's maw with an apple-treat!\n\n\t``I wonder who's actually `eating' those caramel-apples,'' Monique mused.\n\n\t``I like prey as much as the next girl but, sometimes you Prey's pathological behaviors do come off as off-putting,'' said Phobe. ``Ugh, I'd be lying if I didn't kind of like it... Can we go get me something to eat?''\n\n\t``Sure, we're making good progress!'' said Monique.\n\n\t``Let's hunt over there,'' said Amberlina, pointing at the house with a tree-fort. ``I think that's where they're doing the hot-chocolate!''\n\n\t``Oh cool, I can have something warm to drink too,'' said Phobe, her tiny tail wagging.\n\n\tThey made their way over, but Phobe groaned when they got close. Above the porch was a glowing sign that said ``safe-zone'', and that meant...\n\n\t``I can't go in.''\n\n\t``Oh no, Phobe,'' Amberlina mewled, crying a bit.\n\n\t``It's okay, you enjoy yourselves,'' she said and turned her head. ``Hot-chocolate, what a great place for a safe-spot. Fuhh...''\n\n\t``WOOF!'' barked someone from down the street.\n\n\t``EEEK!'' Snowflake shouted and ran straight for the porch. ``Let me through, quick, emergency!''\n\n\t``We should move too,'' said Monique, and Amberlina walked with her into the safe-zone.\n\n\tThe line for hot-chocolate moved fast. It was a wonder how or why this Bengal-tiger man was Prey-License, or that he had money to just... hand out hot-chocolates like this, but it was dearly appreciated to all the little Preys who wanted something warm to sip.\n\n\t``Drink up quickly, the safe-zone is on a timer!''\n\n\tThe girls eeped and started drinking their cocoas quickly. Amberlina passed Vince on the message from the mouse-man, and he seemed right-pleased.\n\n\t``How's our hoard coming?'' Monique laughed, looking over the others.\n\n\t``My pail is half-full already!'' Snowflake mewled.\n\n\t``It's so tiny though, you should have brought extras,'' said Monique. ``Look at Amber, she's got a whole pillow case, and it's just getting started!''\n\n\t``Oh...'' Snowflake mumbled, feeling a little worried now about how much she'd be able to carry.\n\n\t``I have this spare-bag, if you want some,'' Monique said, and gave a cheering kitty-mummy a spare. ``A dark fairy has all kinds of things up her bag of tricks!''\n\n\t``Do you want to trade anything while we've got a moment?'' Amberlina asked, while finishing the drink that matched her succulent costume.\n\n\t``Yeah sure, let's see, I just adore those candies with like the crackly stuff in them! Got any of those?''\n\n\t``Uh, yeah, I do,'' said Amberlina, picking some out. ``Ooo! You have chocolate-waffers! Yes please!''\n\n\t``Hehehe, score,'' Monique cheered, making the exchange. ``How about you Snowflake, got any - uhh...''\n\n\t``Woof,'' said Spot, smiling at her with a dazed expression, his tongue drooling. His stomach was about as big as him.\n\n\t``Mmmph!'' Snowflake cried inside of him.\n\n\t``Well... that was anti-climatic,'' sighed Monique, a deflation of her mood and charisma following. She felt like she'd just seen a spider.\n\n\t``Ah, that time already?'' the Bengal Vince asked, looking at his watch. ``Ah yes, it is, the safe-zone has expired for the next ten-minutes. Ah, what a shame. Heh, uh, you should start running now.''\n\n\tThe entire collection of children began screaming as, without warning, all the teenagers at the tree-house began pouring down it in pirate costumes, some even on ropes they threw over the sides! The teenagers were bigger and faster than the younger children, and began to storm the patio and devour kids with brandished cocks and dripping pussies! It was just genital-vore gehanna!\n\n\t``Ah shit!!'' Monique screamed, and then grabbed Snowflake's pail of candy from off the ground.\n\n\t``We'll just take this, Spot,'' she laughed, as Spot looked like he'd been smacked.\n\n\t``SCRAM IT AMBY!!'' Monique yelled, and the squealing foxes scrambled!\n\n\t``Let me at that booty!'' a wolf-pirate laughed, his cock waggling from his assless chaps, pointing right at Amberlina. Her Prey instincts kicked-in and she froze, preparing to be cock-vored!\n\n\t``Oh gods, this is it!''\n\n\t``WOAH!'' the wolf-pirate yelled as, without warning, he fell onto his face!\n\n\tPhobe, with the teenager's tail in her mouth, was swallowing him up like a noodle!\n\n\t``What the fuck is happening!''\n\n\t``GRAB THE FUCKING CANDY AMBY!!'' Monique yelled.\n\n\tAmberlina grabbed the wolf-kid's candy-satchel from around his shoulders, which he tried to re-take, before Phobe's billowing throat overtook his arms and legs.\n\n\t``This is so not happening!!'' the wolf-cried as his face sunk down into Phobe's throat. ``I'm twice your size!''\n\n\tGulp!\n\n\t``Ahh...!'' Phobe panted, swatting her stomach. ``Much better.''\n\n\t``Oh thank goodness you are here!'' Amberlina said, running to her side. ``I thought I was a goner!''\n\n\t``You probably will be if we don't get out of here,'' said Phobe. ``Hey where is Snowflake?''\n\n\tAmberlina shook her head, crying. ``Gone...''\n\n\tPhobe rolled her eyes. ``Damn... oh well, what about Monique?''\n\n\tAmberlina looked around, but didn't see Monique at her side anymore. ``Oh no... No! Monique not you too!''\n\n\t``Hahahahaha!''\n\n\t``Huh?''\n\n\tAmberlina looked up at the tree house to see Monique, holding several pillow-cases and duffel bags of candy. The mad child then hopped onto a zip-line connecting the tree-fort to the street lamp and road down to the sidewalk.\n\n\t``Oh that foxy-vixen!'' Amberlina laughed, and ran toward the street with Phobe.\n\n\tThey recollected and applauded her aplomb. ``Oh this is great, I just foxed all the candy!''\n\n\t``Good work, but,'' Phobe started, and pointed at the angry mob of pirates staring at them from the house. They'd just finished cock-voring and vaginal-voring all the kids they could catch, candy littering the lawn - but a whole lot less than Monique had just pilfered.\n\n\t``Heh... heh... heh...'' Monique huffed. ``F-f-finder's keepers?''\n\n\t``Vore them all!'' the pirate-king panda at their front yelled, swaying a fake-cutlass, his throbbing cock finishing the tail of a skunk he'd caught. ``Turn them all into sex-juice!''\n\n\t``Vamanos bitches!'' Monique screamed, and the three girls dashed down the street, the teenagers chasing.\n\n\t``Damn stomach!'' Phobe panted, holding up her gut. ``C'mon wolf, don't just sit there, digest!''\n\n\t``Mrph!'' her belly sounded.\n\n\tAmberlina looked for a way out of this, they could not out-run teenagers, even if they had their nuts and wombs stuffed with digesting kids. Amberlina turned and saw a house with purple lights, an open door, and ``keep out'' written above the porch.\n\n\tHaunted House...\n\n\tAmberlina remembered an odd-thing she'd gotten at the trick-house. A trick is what she needed! She rummaged in her bag and found a smoke bomb. It was small, like a fire-work, but had a bizarrely sophisticated soda-pop tab attached to some flint.\n\n\tShe literally just had to pull it and it lit itself, and she dropped it.\n\n\tSmoke trailed behind them, and the pirates were momentarily left coughing and blinded behind them.\n\n\t``House, now!'' she whispered, and bee-lined for the haunted house, the other girls following faithfully.\n\n\t``Woah out of our way!'' Monique cried as they fought past two shaking adults who were walking out of the haunted house covered in... well, who knew.\n\n\tThey stood in the foyer of the haunted house, panting, and looked behind to see the pirates on the street running up ahead. They must be thinking that their prey had continued down the street.\n\n\tThe girls sighed.\n\n\t``Woof.''\n\n\tAmberlina jerked her face to her left, and saw Spot sitting next to her on the bottom step of the stairs, his belly squirming.\n\n\t``How in the heck did you do that...'' she gaped.\n\n\t``Woof.''\n\n\t``Spot, you literal cartoon character!'' Monique gasped, smacking her head. ``Ugh and you ate Snowflake too...''\n\n\t``Oh he did?'' Phobe muttered, turning to see him. She saw a black cat walking this way from the hallway of the haunted house, jittering and looking like something was about to jump out at her.\n\n\tPhobe took the honors and jumped out at her, grabbing the screaming girl by her red-riding-hood costume and lifting her above Spot.\n\n\t``Sorry Spot but I'm about to woodsman your ass.''\n\n\t``Orf?!'' Spot barked, confused, before Phobe plunged her other-arm straight down his esophagus. With a disgusting squelching noise, she lifted the screaming white-kitty out of his body, and then plunged the screaming black-kitty down into him.\n\n\t``URP! Blaahh!'' Spot coughed, hammering his wiggling gut, looking offended.\n\n\t``Here, have an apple,'' said Phobe, and stuffed the apple she'd gotten from Sobek into Spot's mouth like a pig. She then shoo'd him out the front door. He stumbled out like a drunk person, leaving it a mystery how much he had realized that he'd just had his preferred cat just switched for another one.\n\n\tSnowflake, staring straight ahead and looking like she'd seen a ghost, dripped stomach-slime from every contour. She blinked, nose flickering.\n\n\t``Snowflake?'' Monique asked, waving a hand in front of her. ``No use, she's cat-atonic.''\n\n\t``Don't make me eat you,'' Phobe sighed.\n\n\tSnowflake whimpered. ``I just almost died.''\n\n\t``Almost is right, he digested your costume off already,'' Amberlina whistled, feeling a strange feeling inside her. She was... really happy her friend was alive, but... strangely disappointed. She wasn't sure why either, it just felt like an insult somehow, not to Spot, but to Snowflake. It was as if she felt that Snowflake had deserved to be digested for her own sakes.\n\n\t``Yeah but he got your feet,'' Monique giggled. ``Your socks are gone!''\n\n\tSnowflake looked down and whimpered, jumping slightly and lifting one leg into the air as if to avoid stepping on a scurrying creature. ``Ahh, my legs!''\n\n\tSnowflake had no fur from the knees down! She was totally naked, and now she had no fur on her shins!\n\n\t``Such a close call!'' Monique laughed, smacking Snowflake and splattering stomach juice everywhere. ``Whooo! Wow, this is already a lot more fun than last Halloween, right?''\n\n\tSnowflake smiled and rubbed her head. ``Yeah... I think you're right. Wow thank you for saving me! But now I really need a bath.''\n\n\t``The bath is upstaiiiiirs...'' the house itself seemed to chant. ``Come if you daaaaare.''\n\n\tMonique quickly identified the speaker-system that had sounded, but the meeker girls were squealing and looking around wildly. Phobe didn't even look, she just knew, she wasn't dumb.\n\n\t``Looks like a trap calls for you,'' Phobe sighed. ``Let's head out, we can use a garden hose or something.''\n\n\t``But, I want a bath!'' Snowflake fussed, stomping her naked foot. ``I need this gook off now, it's still tingly!''\n\n\t``Fine, but if you get eaten again it is not my fault.''\n\n\tThe troupe started up the stairs, Monique bringing up the rear with her trove of treats, looking like some mad hermit-crab of confectionary.\n\n\tThey reached the second floor, where paintings of gaunt, eyeless creatures gazed out at them. Many were posed as if part of some eldritch, unknowable family.\n\n\t``Bleh,'' Phobe said and rolled her eyes.\n\n\tThe smaller girls were pretty creeped out though. A girl sat crying at the far end of the hallway, next to the linen closet. She had bandages around her face, and was holding a syringe in her clenched fist. She rocked back and forth, while a gnarled, rat-like hand clutched at the grooves in the vented linen-closet door.\n\n\t``No... no... no...!'' the girl cried. ``Please... no...''\n\n\t``Miss?'' Snowflake whispered, walking hesitantly toward her. ``What's... what's wrong?''\n\n\tAmberlina covered her mouth in fear and worry. She wanted to help the girl, but, she was terrified to get closer.\n\n\t``Far out,'' Monique squealed in a hushed voice. ``Wow, that's so cool!''\n\n\t``Peh,'' Phobe sounded.\n\n\tSnowflake slowly got closer. ``Miss...?''\n\n\t``Please, I just want him to love me, I just want to be loved...'' the girl whimpered.\n\n\t``Miss?'' Snowflake teared, her shaking hand reaching forward.\n\n\t``I want... him to love me THIS MUCH!!'' the girl screamed, grabbing Snowflake's arm, and pulling the screaming girl close! A hand went up to the bandages, pulling them up to reveal a misshapen, mutated face beneath!\n\n\tSnowflake shrieked, her tail poofing to max-volume, and she fell flat on her nude butt!\n\n\tThe cackling girl, who seemed human beneath the make-up, clutched her stomach and reset her bandages. ``Happy Halloween kid.''\n\n\tMonique, laughing, walked up to help the shocked Snowflake, whose limbs were sticking up at the ceiling. ``You putz.''\n\n\t``A voice said we could use the bath-tub,'' Phobe said to the human-girl.\n\n\t``Oh, uh, I don't know if you want it. It's full of blood right now, it might stain,'' the girl explained. ``Well, it is dye.''\n\n\t``Well unless she wants to digest slowly we'll take it,'' Phobe said.\n\n\t``Yuuuuuck, blood?'' Snowflake fussed as Monique got the shaking cat up off the floor.\n\n\t``Do you want to digest? Some of your fur just came out onto the floor.''\n\n\t``Oh no!'' Snowflake mewled and scrambled to find the bathroom, leaving a small trail of fur as her skin was digested by the trailing Spot-goo she was tracking. They found the bathroom and crept into a dark-room, lit by a designer bulb. The blood-bath was warm and delightfully dark-red. With the light-fixture, it looked straight out of a ghost-movie.\n\n\tSnowflake crept up to it... and then...\n\n\tSlowly, a lizard-girl rose out of the blood, her eyes startlingly white as she stared at them, rising up. ``You did this... It was youuuu.''\n\n\t``Excuse me!'' Snowflake mewled and started slipping into the warm water.\n\n\t``Uhh what?!'' the scaly gasped, taken aback. She unconsciously slipped back to make room for Snowflake as she crept into the tub and started splashing the dyed-water into her fur.\n\n\t``Uhh... kid? This is uh, my bath-water,'' the lizard-girl said. ``C-c'mon you're cramping my style.''\n\n\t``It's okay dear,'' said the intercom. ``They have permission... if they daaaare!!''\n\n\t``Fine Dad!'' the scaly-girl said. ``Sheesh. Just... open our house to the public, sure! Well it's fun, I guess. Hey what Licenses are you?''\n\n\t``Prey,'' said Snowflake, splashing blood into her face and scrubbing.\n\n\t``Oh, you don't say!'' the scaly said, licking her lips and starting to wrap her arms around Snowflake. ``You don't mind if I have a bite do you?''\n\n\t``Uhh...'' she mewled, trying to shrink away.\n\n\t``Uh, sorry,'' Phobe said, sauntering up to the side of the tub.\n\n\tThe lizard-girl looked at her. ``Yeah?''\n\n\t``Hey, I'm like, eleven, but, you have no idea how fucking hard blood makes me, it's like, totally a fetish for me.''\n\n\t``Yeah sure thing,'' she said, opening her mouth and closing her teeth around Snowflake's whimpering skull.\n\n\tPhobe plopped her balls up onto the side of the tub, her equine dick flopping out over into the water.\n\n\tThe scaly stared, drooling over the kitten, but recognizing that her Predator A License prooobably wasn't going to cut it.\n\n\tPhobe gently pried the lizard-girl's jaws off of Snowflake and guided her worried, blood-soaked face toward the yawning cum-slit.\n\n\t``You don't mind if we take a break do you?'' asked Phobe, grunting as she overtook the blood-girl's face. ``Ung... I can't resist someone with a bloody-nose... If you ever want me to cock-vore someone, just give them a bloody nose and - ''\n\n\tSlurrrrp. The scaly's boobs vanished.\n\n\t``Oh good, I have time to wash then, maybe find something to wear,'' Snowflake mewled, and went back to bathing.\n\n\tA laughing, yet shaking couple walked into the bathroom, and stared vacantly at the sight of two kits watching an underage naked cat-girl bathing briskly in blood while a ram with dried-blood colored fur cock-vored a blood-soaked girl twice their age.\n\n\tThe couple, slack-jawed, slowly closed the door. ``I changed my mind honey, this is the most terrifying haunted house I've ever fucking seen.''\n\n\t``Let's get the fuck out of here Kevin!!'' And they ran down the hall screaming.\n\n\tThe girls all began laughing uncontrollably, except for scaly-girl cuz' she was dick-food.\n\n\t``Let's go look for more candy, mind watching the stuff?'' Monique said, setting her bags down on the floor.\n\n\t``Sure, I'll try to hurry up, please don't wander too far,'' said Phobe while she patted the pudgy lizard-butt slipping into her member.\n\n\t``Yep!'' Monique pipped as she and Amberlina slipped out.\n\n\tMonique slightly closed the door, by habit of it being a bathroom, before Amber had a chance to follow her, so she no longer had a visual of Monique for that split moment while the giggling hot-chocolate girl entered the hallway to follow.\n\n\tAmberlina's heart stopped. Her chest filled with ice and her whole body tightened. She felt she'd turned to stone...\n\n\tThis wasn't the same hallway.\n\n\tAmberlina twisted around, the hallway a dizzying display as she tried to find the bathroom door. Yet, there was none. She was stranded, now, in a very long hallway with no side-doors.\n\n\tIt was massive. The ceiling was easily higher than the house had been, with massive glittering chandeliers. Despite how high the ceiling was, there was not a single shadow in the entire hallway. There was an unsettling atmosphere all the same, but it was not from what she couldn't see, but from the sheer volume of what she could see. Great end-tables, filled with golden treats of macabre decadence and oozing frostings, everything stacked on solid-gold plates. Candlelabras and gaslamps littered the hallway, each made of gold. The furniture was all dark mahogany, and silver mirrors littered the hallway and reflected the dozens-of-candles into tens-of-dozens. The carpet was a yawning red, guiding her in either direction for what seemed like the length of a whole house's yard, instead of one measly hallway.\n\n\t``MONIIIIQUEEE!!'' she shrieked, panicking. Clapping a hand to her face, she looked everywhere for a sign of Monique. ``Monique!! Oh my gods Monique, help! Oh my gods where am I? WHERE AM I??!''\n\n\tScreaming, crying, panting, Amberlina ran down the hallway, her own crying face her only company in the many mirrors. The sweet-trays cluttering the hall-tables assaulted her nose with so much saccharine-scent that she felt sick. She whimpered and tripped over herself, scrambling on all-fours slightly for a short distance... And when she uprighted herself...\n\n\tShe suddenly caught her own face in the mirror, but instead of looking at her own face, she saw that her reflection, scared and crying, had continued running forward without her.\n\n\tAmberlina stared, watching her reflection run from mirror to mirror, away into the room at the end of the hallway.\n\n\tHyperventilating, Amberlina looked at her mirror again, finding no reflection for her... She walked up to it, and gently placed her hand on the glass...\n\n\tNothing happened.\n\n\tHead jittering, Amberlina turned her head back to the massive doors at the end of the hallway... and slowly made her way forward.\n\n\tShe could hear slow-jazz music playing on the other side. Her lips trembled as she reached up for the handles. The doors, fit for the palace of a king, yielded to her with unsettling compliance.\n\n\tAmberlina walked into a kitchen.\n\n\tIt was jarring how different it was from the previous room. Her face grimaced, tears running into the corners of her maw, as she looked over the nearly monochrome room. It was a long, thin, ugly kitchen. It was almost perfectly white, except for thick, grey streaks of grime, soot, and grease that marked the uneven surfaces and edges of every counter and device. The stove was a blasted, discarded heap of scrap. The microwave was left open, something abandoned inside and blackened from over-cooking. The kitchen was filthy, and yet, anywhere there was no grease or soot, it was spotlessly white.\n\n\tThe windows opened out onto a white void, so empty that Amberlina glossed over the windows at first.\n\n\tHer gaze instead was fixated on the fact that she was not alone here.\n\n\tA dog was seated at the dingy table, smiling, and holding a cup of coffee. Head tilted down, his beanie slightly obscured his face. He had a good-natured smile on his maw, and he gently lifted his chin.\n\n\tThe ambient light caught his eyes, and Amberlina was astonished at how pretty they were for all their anonymous brown color. A light, crisp smile was on his face, as unassuming as the blonde-roast coffee he was sipping.\n\n\t``Hey there Rose!'' he greeted. ``Pull up a seat!''\n\n\t``Yeah, pull up a seat!'' said her reflection.\n\n\tAmberlina was somehow sitting in a chair at the table, looking down at a cup of earl-gray tea. Her face stared at her from the dark, shimmering circle hugging the rim. Her reflection was talking to her. She couldn't remember sitting down.\n\n\tHer reflection smiled.\n\n\t``Amby, guess what! It's The Hungry Man!''\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "4 ---

\tPinwheel Village's four districts all spiraled in on each other toward the city-center; near the center was Pinwheel Park. It was technically in the Mixed-District, and was showing all the festivities of and preparations for the hunt. However, a lot of different folks frequented Pinwheel Park.

\tIncluding protesters. A mass of Consenter humans were lining up outside the park trying to convince predators and prey to call off the hunt.

\tThe girls snuck past them and tried to find Phobe.

\t``So, where should we look for her?'' asked Amberlina, looking around at the wild decorations.

\t``We'll probably check the play-ground first,'' said Monique. ``She could be waiting by the jungle-gym, like at school?''

\t``Sounds good,'' said Amberlina.

\tThe three girls started walking, passing by a maddening array of fun things - if only they had money!

\tThere was a cart selling rare ``homs,'' for those into that sort of thing. Monique loved a particular brand called ``pussy-snacks,'' which you normally couldn't get outside the wealthier Pred-District neighborhoods. Monique eyed the homs walking about nervously inside the glass display case, licking her lips at them.

\t``Eww you eat micros?'' Snowflake hissed.

\t``They're fun!'' Monique giggled. ``And they're homs, not micros.''

\t``Well they're still tiny people...'' Snowflake said. ``What's special about them?''

\t``Micros are shrunken down, tinnies live in their own small communities, and homs are raised to be food - it's short for homunculi.''

\t``Where do you get these big words from!?'' Snowflake fussed, and then started covering her mouth. ``Oh gods what was that smell...''

\tThey walked past another stand where the smell of burning hair was coming from. It was a giant rotisserie, cooking full-sized furs inside. They were completely skewered through the butt-and-mouth, and despite that and the heat on their cooking bodies, they were somehow alive.

\tThis attraction had a big rope keeping too many people from getting too close to the vendor, and someone managing the lines started shooing them off. ``Hey you kids, adult-only customers.''

\t``Yeah yeah,'' Monique fussed, and the kids avoided the vendor of actual straight-up cooking cannibalism.

\tSnowflake looked back at the giant machine that was miraculously cooking the fur off of living prey, their trembling forms had something lewd instead of painful about them... was being cooked alive somehow not agonizing?

\tThere was a smell of ozone coming from that vendor, not just burnt hair. It made Snowflake's hair stand on end.

\t``There's magic in the air...''

\t``Yeah, great, isn't it?''

\tThe two girls now walked past a horse and a badger, the two girls were dressed as witches, and much older than the three girls. Both of them were eating caramel apples, and it made Monique really wish she had cash. Maybe she could bum some off of Phobe.

\t``It's the best season for magic!'' said the badger, and Monique gave her a thumbs-up. The badger then turned back to her horse-friend, saying, ``usually the immersion laws prohibit it, but - ''

\tThe badger girl continued, but the girls didn't catch the rest as they continued on. They were now walking through a line of trees. Cobwebs, fake-spiders, and ghosts dangled around them. Pumpkins were being set up and lit, and someone was slowly coaxing a gigantic snake out of its cage and helping it up into the canopy.

\t``Remember to only start feeding after the sun sets,'' the snake's trainer cooed. The girls walked past this, and came around a bend. Now, they were near the big water-fountain that sat next to the play-park...

\t``Oh dang,'' Monique snarled.

\tCarly, her parents, and some other angry protesters were holding signs and trying to get attention at the fountain. Carly and Monique made eye-contact, both glaring at each other.

\t``The Laws are strict and clear, no Predators are allowed into the Consent District, and yet, that law was violated!'' an adult shouted. ``It is clear that, to help in catching the killer, the hunt should be called off! Look inside your hearts, you know it's the right thing to do!''

\tThese Consenters were trying to spoil everyone's fun... Monique hated it. It was weird but, a lot of Predator B furs and scalies were actually trying to talk reasonably with the Consenters, and some of them were even in agreement.

\t``C'mon, let's ignore them,'' Monique said, and guided the girls past the protesters, Carly sticking her tongue out at them as they went passed. Her costume was still a bit stained on the back...

\tPhobe, in Monique's good intuition, was indeed waiting by the jungle-gym. She sauntered up to them, burping and smiling with satisfaction. ``Hey girls.''

\t``Hi!'' Monique cheered. ``Wow, protests huh?''

\t``They're being peaceful so far,'' said Phobe. ``My mom's watching over things.''

\t``Cool,'' Monique said, nodding. ``Hey, did you just eat something?''

\t``Yeah, I got a bag of homs and swallowed them up, they're still wiggling inside me.'' She burped into her palm, and excused herself.

\t``Wow, look at you little-miss-moneybags,'' Monique laughed. ``Hey, you wouldn't be able to spot me would you?''

\tPhobe cocked her eyebrow. ``Greedy aren't you?''

\tMonique laughed, rubbing her head. ``Well, when else am I going to see all this cool stuff in town? The only town that has 24-hour magic-use is Crucible, and that's like, a day's drive!''

\t``Fiiine, we'll go get everyone some treats,'' Phobe said, rolling her eyes. ``I do have more money than I know what to do with... But let's not attract unwanted attention.''

\t``I don't want attention,'' Snowflake said, shivering. ``But, what's there for me to have? I'm Prey, I don't want to eat anyone, even if they are tiny, not even mice.''

\t``Cotton-candy for days,'' Phobe replied, and Amberlina and Snowflake's eyes both lit up. ``C'mon.''

\t

5 ---

\t``Do you see him yet?'' Sula asked impatiently.

\t``No, I don't,'' Serra said, picking at her teeth. ``It is a little like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I promise you my little dear, he won't stay hidden for long.''

\t``Are you sure he's a Lord?'' Sula asked, looking up at the big horse-herm. Sula had learned so much from her already, but she still felt powerless when talking to the demon...

\t``Don't you worry about a thing,'' chuckled Serra. ``He's hiding among the other Licenses, but I cannot be fooled easily. If we see him, I'll know... It just makes it harder for me to smell out his blood trail. But as long as I have your blood in me, I'll find the scent.''

\t``And then you'll hard-vore him, right?'' Sula asked excitedly. ``Just like those Consenters?''

\t``Maybe...'' Serra laughed. ``If his soul re-enters this world's reincarnation cycle, he still wins, doesn't he? I might find something else to do with him...''

\tSerra's stomach grumbled, and she patted it. ``I am surprised how easily people, even these so called Consenters, can go missing without raising alarms. I think it is time for another snack Sula. Let's err on the side of caution and try not to be caught.''

\t``I'm really sorry,'' Sula pleaded. ``I seriously messed up! They wouldn't be protesting if I hadn't gotten caught!''

\t``Silence, you're being too loud,'' whispered Serra, becoming concerned as Sula's tone became charged.

\tThe badger quieted down, shrinking away.

\t``I promise, the man who hurt you will suffer... And after that, I'll have the sustenance these Consenters cannot provide... Then I shall rise quickly in this world.''

\tSula grimaced and nodded. ``You'll let me serve you still?''

\tSerra's eyes flicked at her, and she smiled. ``Of course, little Sula... if that is what you desire. Serve me as a chef, over and over again.''

\t``Yes,'' Sula mumbled. ``Teach me how.''

\t``Yesss...'' Serra laughed, stepping toward a passing gaggle of Consenter high-school girls who had come to watch the protest. ``Teach you how indeed.''

\tA kind of dark filter, or haze, surrounded Serra as she opened her maw, drifting it towards the human girls... The haze enveloped the girls, and they vanished from the perception of others...

\tSula skirted this perception-bending mist, needing to keep people from walking past its boundary, at least for a moment.

\t``You've had your fun,'' Serra whispered, and the girls yelled with surprise.

\tThe high-schoolers started to turn, seeking the whisper, but got a more immediate answer as Serra's arms became disfigured, bony spikes, and clasped around the screaming lot.

\t``What the fuck!!''

\t``Ahh, woah, let me go!''

\t``Woah woah woah!''

\tAt first they commented on something about costumes, but as soon as Serra lifted them into the air they started screaming. Serra started dragging them to the trees, so that her protective mist would not be crossed as easily.

\t``Stop, stop, we're Consents, we're Consents!'' one of them cried.

\t``What a shame,'' Serra laughed, and with a shift in her thinking, compelled her Lady-status over them.

\t``No... wait, what?!''

\tThey confabulated in panic, these humans couldn't really sense the Licenses as accurately as the furs, but the demon could tell they'd sensed what she'd done. Serra was able to change the way her License felt! It was easier to hide as Predator B, instead of a glaring bullseye like her Lady License. How lucky that Serra had had a powerful License for her to double-as! They couldn't figure out her true nature, but all they needed to know was their place!

\tSerra breathed heavily over one of the girls, licking her face. ``Do you taste that meat and blood on my breath?'' she muttered. ``Do yourself a favor and consider what will have to happen if I can't swallow you down whole.''

\t``Please... stop this...'' the girl cried, the other girls fighting harder to escape now that the first prey had been selected. Or so they thought.

\t``Ha! That goes for all of you girls! I'm not above skewering you...''

\tShe jostled one of her bladed arms, its dark, sharpened marrow-blade catching the attention of the girls. Serra chuckled as they quit fighting.

\t``Good, good. Let me re-educate you on what consent actually is. The gods of your world seem to think it is implicit and cannot be taken away. Do you know what I am?''

\t``What...?! A freaking monster?'' the middle-girl cried, and then aimed her elbow at Serra's stomach. Instead of causing injury, she compelled Serra to belch a rank, burning cloud over the girl.

\tShe yelled in disgust and clenched her eyes! Her skin began to burn, and they all sensed a great heat on her breath, like a broiler had been opened too close to their faces. More than that, her mere breath seemed enough to digest some of the poor girl's skin!

\t``You taste the others?'' Serra laughed. ``You'll be fine, as long as you consent to me... Your world has taught you that consent is about wants and desires, but it is merely a contract! I only care about that, I only answer to that... If you care about your souls, you'll consent to a new contract with me, me and my gut. If I am forced to devour you the hard way, your souls won't reincarnate in this world - they'll go to the Outside, where more of me await you.''

\t``More of... what the fuck are you?!'' the girl in Serra's right-arm cried.

\t``What am I?'' Serra cooed, smiling. She chuckled, and, choosing to speak with the voice of the person who had hurt the girl most in life... a voice that immediately cowed her as it passed the creature's lips... she answered her!

\t``The unnatural world.''

\t``No...'' The girl shivered, and grew limp in Serra's arms.

\tLaughing, Serra let her go and spun around to point her ass at the girl's face. ``Just sit there while I sit on you. Don't worry about your clothes, my colon will turn anything into shit.''

\tThe girl began full-body sobbing while Serra straddled her legs and began to ease her shapely horse-ass down onto the girl's face. The newly-``consented'' prey began screaming as her face disappeared into Serra's butt, being met with something she hadn't been expecting - a mouthful of burning hot ash.

\t``Unng!'' Serra pined, feeling her ass fill up with cooking prey. She let herself slip down by several feet, until the shaking prey's stomach was completely encased. She kicked feebly, before going still.

\tShe looked at one of the remaining girls, her eyes flashing. ``Did I say that my colon was full of shit? I should have clarified... I'm more like a crematorium.''

\t``Oh please no!'' the girl cried before Serra's mouth enveloped her head, and a near-boiling spit poured down her face. She belched while she began swallowing the girl's torso, cooking her alive in hot, burnt-flesh stained air, an air that itself was acidic.

\tSerra tossed the girl up and caught her butt on the flat-edge of her sword-like arm, and began tilting her head back. She gobbled the human up almost like a sea-bird, smacking the human's ass on the way down. She stopped squirming by that time, while Serra's stomach bloated from the other end - -her ass-cheeks moving with the motions of anal-swallowing. Both ends of her digestive system consumed greedily, as the third girl could only watch in macabre fascination at the ease this predator could consume prey.

\tSoon only the girl's feet were poking out of Serra's mouth. With a grotesque crunch, she bit them off at the ankles and swallowed the rest of the girl. Her free-arm morphed back into a hand, and she caught the girl's feet. Serra licked her chops, savoring the taste, before popping the feet into her maw like popcorn.

\tSerra dropped the last girl onto the ground as she crunched up her last morsel, chewing thoroughly before a sickening swallow.

\tThe girl cried at her feet. ``I'll do anything, but please, don't kill me like that...''

\t``Why do you care?'' Serra laughed. ``Yes, it will be painful, but you are reborn in this world as long as your death meets the expectations of this world, its gods. I have done this for them, they are dead, but they shall also live.''

\tShe glared and pointed her blade at the woman's head. ``This, however, as clean and simple and removed from depravity as it would be to simply puncture that think-sac of yours... this would be the worst option for you. You do not want me to shock your soul out of this world, human, oh I can tell you that. The Outside is not kind to the uninitiated!''

\tThe girl was confused, understanding not-at-all, yet she nodded her head.

\t``Yes, this is the true nature of consent,'' Serra laughed. ``It is not a thing of understanding!~ Like a contract, it does not matter if all those involved understand what is happening to them or appreciate it. Implicit feelings are a base thing, and your gods are base. True consent is simple, even if you struggle, you consent as long as you lacked the power to stop what was happening to you. In this way, your entire world will soon... consent to me.''

\tSerra knelt down, tipping the girl's chin up with her blade, forcing them to lock-eyes. ``And as long as you `consent' to me, you will not face worse, for this world's laws will still protect your soul from the Outside. Show me you understand, now, small human, and let yourself become prey for my acolyte.''

\t``What?'' Sula gasped, with the human girl turning her eyes toward the badger.

\t``That bitch? Sula...? But... Wait does that mean you're Serra?''

\t``Oh, so you know of my vessel? I am not Serra, but I shall accept this name for now. Nevermind that, my acolyte is in need of training. Sula, entertain me!''

\t``I... don't... think I'm ready,'' Sula panted, looking over the human girl and back to Serra. ``What if I panic and start to choke? I'm a Consent, I don't... know how.''

\t``Dear Sula, are you not learning my teachings? The only way to maintain your consent as you define it, is by being powerful. You need a healthy diet if you are to serve me, and learn to never be a victim ever again.''

\t``Is this the only way?'' Sula asked, trembling.

\t``Of course, why would I lie?'' the demon asked.

\tBut Sula trusted ``Serra'', and closing her eyes, nodded her head.

\t``Sula, wait, please...'' the girl began to plead, but a quick nick to her throat, just enough to draw blood, reminded her of what the demon was prepared to do if she fought.

\t``Try and consent, why don't you?'' laughed Serra. ``It is your only hope of enjoying this! And who better than my acolyte? Her body must surely be more wholesome than mine! Unless you'd prefer my methods?''

\tThe human shook her head.

\t``Good.''

\tSula crawled over to the human girl, figuring she should start at her feet. She began undressing her, and Serra impatiently began scissoring away the last-victim's clothes with her bladed-arm. The human cried as she was peeled, as each rough motion left a superficial, but stinging cut.

\t``Hurry, my mist protects us but dumb-luck is ever our enemy, we must not be discovered,'' said Serra, who smiled at the thought of Sula screwing things up for her again, a little rush of the fear of discovery always delighted.

\tSula plunged the girl's feet into her maw. She spat them out again and tried to work the taste off her tongue. ``Blech...''

\t``What's the matter?'' Serra asked.

\t``It's... I think it is her License... Prey taste delicious, this just tastes like... feet.''

\tPerhaps it was the stress, but the human girl started laughing hysterically.

\t``Shut up, I'm trying my best!'' Sula yelled.

\t``Oh, I'm sorry!'' the human cried, her face contorted with terror but her voice bombastic and cracking. ``I'm so sorry I didn't wash my feet for you queen-of-being-the-devil's-bitch!''

\t``Shut up!'' Sula cried. ``I'm tired of being pushed around! I don't care how gross you taste!''

\tSula grunted and stuffed the feet back in her mouth, and began gulping.

\t``Hey! Stop that!'' the human cried, and she tried to lean forward and stop Sula, but...

\t``You've made your choice,'' Serra laughed, and moved forward to block her. She let the girl slice her breasts on Serra's blade before the human girl recoiled back, and let Sula work her way up her shins.

\t``Better, now, would this pacify you I wonder?'' Serra asked, and flipped her short-skirt aside to let her thick cock slap the human's face. She began struggling it into the fighting human's mouth while Sula tried to inhale the prey as fast as she could.

\tSerra fucked the human's throat, keeping the prey silent and busy while Sula started up her thighs. The girl was beginning to taste... alright, at least up here. It still tasted like boring old skin, nothing like the complex flavors prey were said to have... but Sula couldn't stop herself from feeling a sense of satisfaction when she felt the feet pressing into the bottom of her stomach...

\tThe feel of human-ass in her mouth, the marshmallow-texture, was a far greater delight. Sula chewed on her prey's butt before gulping past, slowly moving from off the ground and into a sitting position as she worked her way up the belly. Sula was soon nearing Serra's nutsac, accidentally finding herself with them on her face as her mouth salivated over the human's throat... She could still feel Serra throat-fucking the human, and by proxy, was throat-fucking Sula...

\t``Mmmm...!'' Sula moaned... This was now just about bearable... Anything was worth it when she was this close to her mistresses decadent delights...

\tUlp.

\tSula soon found that she had no more human in her mouth, and instead was giving Serra head herself. Her demonic partner eagerly straddled her face, hands gently clasped to Sula's cheeks while pistoning in and out along her tongue. The two stared into each other's eyes, and Sula sensed that Serra, for all her vileness, did have some sort of alien interest with her, perhaps even love.

\t``What a fine acolyte you are turning out to be,'' Serra said. ``See? You are a hungry lass. I'll be more than happy to grace you with dessert. Oh my hungry little girl, help yourself...''

\tSula closed her eyes and felt a full-body shiver... as she felt cascades of hot jizz pouring down her throat...

\tSula was pumped enough that the struggling prey in her stomach found herself without any room... She would drown in horse-cum long before Sula's stomach acids could do any damage. In the meantime, Sula drank deep and gasped for air like a well-refreshed jogger at a water-fountain, instead of a desperately throat-fucked victim. She felt nourished, and she almost wanted to go again... She cleaned Serra's cock of cum and watched Serra tidy up. Her skimpy clothes would barely keep her cock hidden, for now.

\tThe two girls stood up, Sula struggling far more from her belly than Serra was from hers - of course, Serra's was mostly full of cremation-ash, her core-weight more distributed.

\t``Come Sula, let us find an appropriate place for me to `sweep the chimney' before we carry on with our search!''

\tSula nodded, and followed. They moved a distance into the trees before dropping their obfuscating mist.

\tThe incident had happened, for all intends and purposes, under the noses of the protestors.

\t``We need to protect Consenters!'' one cheered through their megaphone. ``We must be vigilant against rogue predators!''

\tConsenters swarmed about, and some even stepped on the torn-clothes of the girl they'd ignored being eaten, unmindful, oblivious, uncaring.

\tIt was a Predator who noticed this out-of-place pile. Phobe's mom, Tethys, had been asking people questions and helping to keep an eye on things, when she'd spotted the pile.

\tTethys, like Phobe, looked something like the iconic Baphomet, a feminized ram with clear herm-proportions. She was dressed for her work as a detective, although slightly casual to off-set herself from costume-wearers who were going all-out. Tethys was a predator, she looked like Baphomet, and she even knew some magic... But this didn't stop her from considering the pile of clothes with a bit of fear and suspicion.

\tTethys hated the idea of causing a possible scene right before the hunt was about to start, right in front of a bunch of protesters who would  love for nothing more than more fuel for their fire... but she'd just discovered a possible crime. With resentment, she asked the crowd to start stepping back.

\tThey got the area marked off, and the protestors all hung around and watched, some soon realizing that there'd been something that happened- - most went home in fear, for knowing that this happened right in front of them gave them the clear impression this was more than they could handle, but, Carly's family was not so wise. They began fanning the fire, saying that an attack had happened right under everyone's noses, and that this was why the hunt should be cancelled.

\tTethys had created a scene for a panic, and while she had to, she knew that the department would prefer it if she tried to prevent it from escalating. Tethys told her contemporaries to let the public know that they had found evidence to suggest that this disappearance had been arranged by a human with a Prey license, and keep the identity-card of the victim found in the clothes under-their-hats until tomorrow. The white lie kept the Predators and Prey calm for now, and some of the Consenters lost some wind. With Tethys's team helping to keep the public somewhat calm and thinking this was just a routine vore-scene, the protestors couldn't do much damage for now.

\tWe really should just cancel the festival, Tethys thought angrily as she plucked a badger hair out of the concrete and looked at it. A fresh strand of fur...! Excellent, maybe now we won't have to. I can keep my job and the city it's money and damned festival, if this works. Okay... Ah ha! You're mine. Now, where are you?

\tThe public was discouraged, and most of them were incapable anyway, from using any kind of meaningful magic. Tethys was not in that position, her job was made easier and certainly important enough to warrant a little bit of magic.

\tTo her vision alone, and no-one else's, Tethys hallucinated a strand of red light coming off of the fur she'd found, and leading off into the woods. It was weak, but, at least it was there - all evidence she'd found at the previous victims homes had been too old to trace. Unlike a dog, she couldn't track by scent, but the scent still existed. All it took was a little magic, and a proper application of willpower, to convert scent into sight. As long as the scent stayed extant, she could literally see it, and follow it.

\tTethys kept her phone handy, just in case she needed to call for help. She'd just follow and observe for now. A bit unorthodox, but, a magic-using investigator was allowed some unorthodox liberties.

6 ---

\tAmberlina, Monique, Snowflake and Phobe had finished enjoying the day-time delights of the park and the Halloween festivities. The sun was setting, and a great deal of the town was congregating at the center of the park, where a big stage had been set up for playing music. The mayor, a predatory giraffe woman, came out onto the stage to give a routine talk about the festival, how the hunt works, and rules.

\tMostly it was pretty self-evident, the mayor was mostly there to just rile people up and get them excited. It was just about time for trick-or-treating in the Mixed District (and Pinwheel Park itself) to get a little more dangerous.

\tThe only nuance was that there would be safe-zones with timers to go off so that Prey could collect themselves, or make calls to family to say they'd not be coming home if caught, or make a second break-for-it. The safe-zones would expire when their timers ran out, and another timer would start before the zone was safe again. Predators could camp the locations, but, they might catch more prey by staying on the move! In practice, it seemed that camping the safe-zones was not a common move, predators wanted to chase down their prey! The safe-zones were also not very common.

\tSafe-zones would exist, but there was no mistake that this was going to have a lot of anarchy, not unlike a school-yard game of tag-turned-brawl.

\t``Are we really going to be fine?'' Amberlina asked. Her heart was starting to pound as the mayor started a count-down for the hunt.

\t``Oh, of course,'' Monique laughed, ``I mean, prey far out-number the predators, we'll mostly just be competing for candy most of the night, but... at least now we know we have safe-zones if we get separated.''

\t``I'm still scared,'' Snowflake mumbled. ``Maybe we shouldn't do this and just go back to a safer district.''

\tPhobe pointed her thumb behind them, where at the edge of the crowd, an increasingly agitated gang of protestors were picketing. ``Unless you want to get beat up, you can't go to the Consent-District, the Pred-District will be worse than this, Monique and myself can't go to the Prey-District at all. So you two can bail out, but, you'll probably be totally alone.''

\tThe prey-girls sighed. Being alone sounded really lame...

\t``Alright, we're all in this together!'' Monique said. ``We'll all work together, we'll all get a lot of candy, and Snowflake and Amberlina will get the most candy in exchange for acting as bait for me and Phobe to clean up some riffraff!''

\tThey nodded.

\t``And I promise we're not going to eat you so don't sell me out!'' Monique chided. ``I'm not getting eaten tonight, no way!''

\t``I won't if you won't, promise!'' Snowflake bounced, her bell-necklace jingling.

\tPhobe blinked. ``Hey... you might want to pocket that necklace whenever you're not acting as bait... it might draw too much attention.''

\t``Oh...'' Snowflake fussed, and undid the necklace to put away in her wrappings. ``Okay, there.''

\t``Get ready, here we go,'' said Phobe, looking up as the mayor announced the hunt officially open.

\tThe mayor fired a gun, and immediately lurched her head down to catch the small-child a panther-woman was carrying out of her arms, and swallowed the child whole, right in front of the mother!

\t``Ahh! My baby-girl! Breathe honey! Uhh!'' the panther cried, as she noticed the mayor's head coming back down for a second bite... ``I think I'm coming honey!''

\tGulp.

\t``Yeah let's get moving,'' Phobe grunted, shooing the others with her as the crowd rapidly devolved into frenzy.

\t``Yeesh the birth-rate might actually have to go up again after this,'' Monique fussed, watching as a huge elephant was scooping up an entire family of mice in one swoop of his trunk and funneling them into his yawning maw. ``Woah... did you see that? Uh, I'm getting second thoughts.''

\t``Most pred's get full quickly,'' advised Phobe. ``In a few minutes the number of Predators will fall to like, only dozens. Let's just get to the streets, the park will have the most adults, and we can't really overpower them right now.''

\tPhobe lead them through some underbush where adults would have trouble treading, leading them to a brick wall with a hole in it.

\t``Awfully convenient!'' Monique laughed.

\t``Oh, this isn't my first hunt,'' Phobe replied. ``Known this was here after someone jumped out at me from inside the wall.''

\tThey came out to the sidewalk. ``It was right here, too bad they didn't realize I wasn't Prey, and they were only Predator A, so... into my nuts they went.''

\tThe group looked around, and mentally plotted streets to take to get to a candy-rich neighborhood. They decided to stay on streets adjacent to the most-decorated ones, which would lead them on.

\tThey moved cautiously. Once they reached homes, they looked for which ones were currently overrun with madness, and which ones seemed mostly prey-saturated. Kids their age were focusing on candy-collection, and so the streets without rides or bizarre tableaus-in-progress seemed to be the way to go.

\tThey crossed the street, Amberlina noticing that down the next street over, in the turn-off, was some kind of mass-collection of ``bobbing for homs'' activity.

\tMoving onto an actual trick-or-treating street, the girls watched as packs of Preys and co-dependent beta-Preds moved about from house to house. Preys were easy to spot- - again, they stuck to a `we probably taste good' motif in their choices.

\t``Oohh, how about that house?'' Monique giggled, pointing at one with a nice, circular lawn and wide open spaces, festooned with air-powered decorations.

\tThey moved, observing that, here at least, no one was yet eating anyone. They marched up the drive-way, seeing a gaggle of smaller kids rushing past them and giggling from their slightly heavier pales. Amberlina was carrying a pillow case though, it simply held more.

\tThey reached the house front, where an elderly couple of mice were seated watching a tv on their porch. They handed out candy as the kids arrived, while watching a show that was best described as ``skunk Elvira.''

\tThe girls cheered, ``trick-or-treat!'' before being treated with fat fistfuls! Treats, sweet treats! Phobe was somewhat-poker faced most of the time, but she was smiling with the rest of them.

\t``What cute costumes!'' the mouse-man said, waving at Amberlina's especially. ``Oh you must be a Slave. Aww, if I were a Predator myself I could just eat you up!''

\t``Hee hee!'' Amberlina mewled, wiggling a bit.

\t``What a nice costume,'' he said. ``So you must like hot-chocolate! My friend Vince is handing some out on the street past this one; his house has this big haunted tree his kids are partying up in. Can you tell him I said `hello' if you head over?''

\tAmberlina promised, and they waved goodbye as the next gaggle of kids came up.

\t``This is nice,'' said Phobe, smiling. ``Maybe just focusing on candy is not so bad...''

\t``Do you normally just hunt on Halloween?'' Monique asked as they made their way to the next house.

\t``Yeah, it's uh... addicting. I crave vore basically all the time, a night where you can just focus on depopulating and no one stops you from going overboard? It's nice, but, it's starting to feel like I'm compensating for something else.''

\t``That makes sense,'' said Monique.

\t``What are you two talking about?'' Snowflake asked. ``You talk like adults! Why are you even in Elementary school?! Let's just get candy!''

\t``Yeah, sounds like a plan,'' said Phobe, giving a small chuckle. ``Thanks.''

\tThey visited the houses of this street, chanting ``trick-or-threat!'' and usually getting treats, although one neat house with a zombie-survival theme in its yard had given them a box of actual tricks, stuff like finger-traps and smoke-bombs and whoopee-cushions. The girls kept going until they'd gotten half of the houses, before they heard some sort of commotion.

\tComing up the street from behind was a thick collection of shouting humans, and to Amberlina's nose came the smell of Consenters.

\t``Uhhh, what...'' Monique mumbled.

\t``Oh crap, let's keep going,'' said Phobe. ``Looks like they're taking over this street.''

\t``You're joking!'' Monique shouted, and they and the rest of the trick-or-treaters began to flee the street as the borderline untouchable Consenters began to aggressively hunt down adults or teenagers, shouting at them and thumping at pamphlets.

\t``Who do they fucking think they are?!'' Monique shouted as they crossed to the next street. ``They can't just ruin Halloween for us! Where are the cops?''

\t``There's probably enough of them that the police are spread too thin- - we don't exactly have a large police force, we hardly need one,'' explained Phobe. ``Town's normally pretty safe! One of my Mom's is on the force, she tells me things.''

\t``They're scared though, right?'' Amberlina asked. ``That's why they're doing this, to make people pay attention to how some of them went missing?''

\t``Oh they didn't go missing, they definitely got eaten,'' said Phobe. ``And probably against their will.''

\t``But that should be impossible right? So they're scared right? Maybe we should just listen to them.''

\t``I don't fucking care, they're ruining Halloween,'' said Monique while they ran up to the next available house. ``They're certainly not scared enough to come outside at night and bully people in the street!''

\tAmberlina blinked, something deep down found this an odd comment. Yeah that is strange... This is kind of stupid... They'd know that, right?

\tShe shrugged it off, the next house had the front porch closed off and turned into a small haunted-house, and Amberlina stood in front of it feeling... scared. Curious-scared, of course, but the flashing strobe light and smoke coming out of the cob-web screens was alarmingly convincing of a place of terror!

\tA sign was written next to the entrance: NOT ALL WHO ENTER, LEAVE.

\t``Sounds like Predators live here,'' said Phobe. ``Weee... should wait.''

\tThey nodded, and waited for a small hoard of trick-or-treaters to merge with, and proceeded inside.

\tTerrifying, erratic `music' was playing, and twisting animatronics hung from the ceiling. Hiding in a crevice between two bits of wall was someone who walked out at them with a fake-chainsaw that played convincing sound-effects as the kids walked past. They all screamed and scattered, some fleeing the porch, others moving cautiously forward. A grim-reaper sat in an arm-chair near the door, next to a cauldron of candy, and big tub of apples.

\t``Stop!'' the reaper shouted, holding up a hand. ``All who wish to take candy must first reach into the River Stix! Attempt to take a skull if you dare!''

\tThe kids lined up to see into the tub. It was hard to see inside, and it was filled with apples that had painted skulls on them.

\tKids started taking apples, one by one, before going to the cauldron to take their candy and run out in a panic!

\tAmberlina had about to reach in when a small bat-boy shunted past her to claim an apple, and -

\t``RAAARR!''

\t``YEEAAEEEK!'' the bat yelled, as a Sobek-clad crocodile-scaly rose from the water like from a coffin! He nabbed the squealing bat-boy and lifted him up before his maw!

\t``The snackrifice is chosen!''

\t``Wait wait wait, no, don't eat me!'' the bat squealed.

\t``My belly awaits you child! You will be digested like dozens before you!''

\tHe laughed and patted his squishy, bulging guts, which burbled with faint yells from within and the mashing sounds of thoroughly-digested children.

\tThe other children stared in horror, and fascination, as the crocodile man opened his drooling maw and began lowering the crying bat-boy down into his throat...

\tThen he pulled him out, snapping his fingers. ``Oops, almost forgot. Honey?''

\t``Oh yes,'' the reaper said and held up a plate of caramel apples. ``Happy Halloween!''

\tThe confused bat took one. ``Thanks?''

\t``Yeah, Happy Halloween, see you next-life!'' Sobek said and then tossed the bat into his mouth. With a snap, only the kicking legs remained, and then in three short gulps Sobek had tucked the bat-boy, caramel apple in hand, into his stomach.

\t``Urp ulp, bup... Ahh... tasty!'' He laughed and patted his stomach, looking over the remaining kids. ``Who will next dare the River Stix?''

\tHe then sank back into the tub of water and apples, and a few kids made the calculated decision to leave the porch of dreaded anachronisms.

\tMost kids, including Amberlina and her group, took an apple and started to leave, hearing Sobek rise back up to claim the last child from the group they'd merged with, grasping a little bear-girl.

\t``Oh nooo!'' she yelled. ``Please, don't eat me!''

\t``Sorry lass, but, Sobek hungers! Here, have a caramel apple!''

\t``Oh, cool!'' she cheered before being flung into her predator's maw with an apple-treat!

\t``I wonder who's actually `eating' those caramel-apples,'' Monique mused.

\t``I like prey as much as the next girl but, sometimes you Prey's pathological behaviors do come off as off-putting,'' said Phobe. ``Ugh, I'd be lying if I didn't kind of like it... Can we go get me something to eat?''

\t``Sure, we're making good progress!'' said Monique.

\t``Let's hunt over there,'' said Amberlina, pointing at the house with a tree-fort. ``I think that's where they're doing the hot-chocolate!''

\t``Oh cool, I can have something warm to drink too,'' said Phobe, her tiny tail wagging.

\tThey made their way over, but Phobe groaned when they got close. Above the porch was a glowing sign that said ``safe-zone'', and that meant...

\t``I can't go in.''

\t``Oh no, Phobe,'' Amberlina mewled, crying a bit.

\t``It's okay, you enjoy yourselves,'' she said and turned her head. ``Hot-chocolate, what a great place for a safe-spot. Fuhh...''

\t``WOOF!'' barked someone from down the street.

\t``EEEK!'' Snowflake shouted and ran straight for the porch. ``Let me through, quick, emergency!''

\t``We should move too,'' said Monique, and Amberlina walked with her into the safe-zone.

\tThe line for hot-chocolate moved fast. It was a wonder how or why this Bengal-tiger man was Prey-License, or that he had money to just... hand out hot-chocolates like this, but it was dearly appreciated to all the little Preys who wanted something warm to sip.

\t``Drink up quickly, the safe-zone is on a timer!''

\tThe girls eeped and started drinking their cocoas quickly. Amberlina passed Vince on the message from the mouse-man, and he seemed right-pleased.

\t``How's our hoard coming?'' Monique laughed, looking over the others.

\t``My pail is half-full already!'' Snowflake mewled.

\t``It's so tiny though, you should have brought extras,'' said Monique. ``Look at Amber, she's got a whole pillow case, and it's just getting started!''

\t``Oh...'' Snowflake mumbled, feeling a little worried now about how much she'd be able to carry.

\t``I have this spare-bag, if you want some,'' Monique said, and gave a cheering kitty-mummy a spare. ``A dark fairy has all kinds of things up her bag of tricks!''

\t``Do you want to trade anything while we've got a moment?'' Amberlina asked, while finishing the drink that matched her succulent costume.

\t``Yeah sure, let's see, I just adore those candies with like the crackly stuff in them! Got any of those?''

\t``Uh, yeah, I do,'' said Amberlina, picking some out. ``Ooo! You have chocolate-waffers! Yes please!''

\t``Hehehe, score,'' Monique cheered, making the exchange. ``How about you Snowflake, got any - uhh...''

\t``Woof,'' said Spot, smiling at her with a dazed expression, his tongue drooling. His stomach was about as big as him.

\t``Mmmph!'' Snowflake cried inside of him.

\t``Well... that was anti-climatic,'' sighed Monique, a deflation of her mood and charisma following. She felt like she'd just seen a spider.

\t``Ah, that time already?'' the Bengal Vince asked, looking at his watch. ``Ah yes, it is, the safe-zone has expired for the next ten-minutes. Ah, what a shame. Heh, uh, you should start running now.''

\tThe entire collection of children began screaming as, without warning, all the teenagers at the tree-house began pouring down it in pirate costumes, some even on ropes they threw over the sides! The teenagers were bigger and faster than the younger children, and began to storm the patio and devour kids with brandished cocks and dripping pussies! It was just genital-vore gehanna!

\t``Ah shit!!'' Monique screamed, and then grabbed Snowflake's pail of candy from off the ground.

\t``We'll just take this, Spot,'' she laughed, as Spot looked like he'd been smacked.

\t``SCRAM IT AMBY!!'' Monique yelled, and the squealing foxes scrambled!

\t``Let me at that booty!'' a wolf-pirate laughed, his cock waggling from his assless chaps, pointing right at Amberlina. Her Prey instincts kicked-in and she froze, preparing to be cock-vored!

\t``Oh gods, this is it!''

\t``WOAH!'' the wolf-pirate yelled as, without warning, he fell onto his face!

\tPhobe, with the teenager's tail in her mouth, was swallowing him up like a noodle!

\t``What the fuck is happening!''

\t``GRAB THE FUCKING CANDY AMBY!!'' Monique yelled.

\tAmberlina grabbed the wolf-kid's candy-satchel from around his shoulders, which he tried to re-take, before Phobe's billowing throat overtook his arms and legs.

\t``This is so not happening!!'' the wolf-cried as his face sunk down into Phobe's throat. ``I'm twice your size!''

\tGulp!

\t``Ahh...!'' Phobe panted, swatting her stomach. ``Much better.''

\t``Oh thank goodness you are here!'' Amberlina said, running to her side. ``I thought I was a goner!''

\t``You probably will be if we don't get out of here,'' said Phobe. ``Hey where is Snowflake?''

\tAmberlina shook her head, crying. ``Gone...''

\tPhobe rolled her eyes. ``Damn... oh well, what about Monique?''

\tAmberlina looked around, but didn't see Monique at her side anymore. ``Oh no... No! Monique not you too!''

\t``Hahahahaha!''

\t``Huh?''

\tAmberlina looked up at the tree house to see Monique, holding several pillow-cases and duffel bags of candy. The mad child then hopped onto a zip-line connecting the tree-fort to the street lamp and road down to the sidewalk.

\t``Oh that foxy-vixen!'' Amberlina laughed, and ran toward the street with Phobe.

\tThey recollected and applauded her aplomb. ``Oh this is great, I just foxed all the candy!''

\t``Good work, but,'' Phobe started, and pointed at the angry mob of pirates staring at them from the house. They'd just finished cock-voring and vaginal-voring all the kids they could catch, candy littering the lawn - but a whole lot less than Monique had just pilfered.

\t``Heh... heh... heh...'' Monique huffed. ``F-f-finder's keepers?''

\t``Vore them all!'' the pirate-king panda at their front yelled, swaying a fake-cutlass, his throbbing cock finishing the tail of a skunk he'd caught. ``Turn them all into sex-juice!''

\t``Vamanos bitches!'' Monique screamed, and the three girls dashed down the street, the teenagers chasing.

\t``Damn stomach!'' Phobe panted, holding up her gut. ``C'mon wolf, don't just sit there, digest!''

\t``Mrph!'' her belly sounded.

\tAmberlina looked for a way out of this, they could not out-run teenagers, even if they had their nuts and wombs stuffed with digesting kids. Amberlina turned and saw a house with purple lights, an open door, and ``keep out'' written above the porch.

\tHaunted House...

\tAmberlina remembered an odd-thing she'd gotten at the trick-house. A trick is what she needed! She rummaged in her bag and found a smoke bomb. It was small, like a fire-work, but had a bizarrely sophisticated soda-pop tab attached to some flint.

\tShe literally just had to pull it and it lit itself, and she dropped it.

\tSmoke trailed behind them, and the pirates were momentarily left coughing and blinded behind them.

\t``House, now!'' she whispered, and bee-lined for the haunted house, the other girls following faithfully.

\t``Woah out of our way!'' Monique cried as they fought past two shaking adults who were walking out of the haunted house covered in... well, who knew.

\tThey stood in the foyer of the haunted house, panting, and looked behind to see the pirates on the street running up ahead. They must be thinking that their prey had continued down the street.

\tThe girls sighed.

\t``Woof.''

\tAmberlina jerked her face to her left, and saw Spot sitting next to her on the bottom step of the stairs, his belly squirming.

\t``How in the heck did you do that...'' she gaped.

\t``Woof.''

\t``Spot, you literal cartoon character!'' Monique gasped, smacking her head. ``Ugh and you ate Snowflake too...''

\t``Oh he did?'' Phobe muttered, turning to see him. She saw a black cat walking this way from the hallway of the haunted house, jittering and looking like something was about to jump out at her.

\tPhobe took the honors and jumped out at her, grabbing the screaming girl by her red-riding-hood costume and lifting her above Spot.

\t``Sorry Spot but I'm about to woodsman your ass.''

\t``Orf?!'' Spot barked, confused, before Phobe plunged her other-arm straight down his esophagus. With a disgusting squelching noise, she lifted the screaming white-kitty out of his body, and then plunged the screaming black-kitty down into him.

\t``URP! Blaahh!'' Spot coughed, hammering his wiggling gut, looking offended.

\t``Here, have an apple,'' said Phobe, and stuffed the apple she'd gotten from Sobek into Spot's mouth like a pig. She then shoo'd him out the front door. He stumbled out like a drunk person, leaving it a mystery how much he had realized that he'd just had his preferred cat just switched for another one.

\tSnowflake, staring straight ahead and looking like she'd seen a ghost, dripped stomach-slime from every contour. She blinked, nose flickering.

\t``Snowflake?'' Monique asked, waving a hand in front of her. ``No use, she's cat-atonic.''

\t``Don't make me eat you,'' Phobe sighed.

\tSnowflake whimpered. ``I just almost died.''

\t``Almost is right, he digested your costume off already,'' Amberlina whistled, feeling a strange feeling inside her. She was... really happy her friend was alive, but... strangely disappointed. She wasn't sure why either, it just felt like an insult somehow, not to Spot, but to Snowflake. It was as if she felt that Snowflake had deserved to be digested for her own sakes.

\t``Yeah but he got your feet,'' Monique giggled. ``Your socks are gone!''

\tSnowflake looked down and whimpered, jumping slightly and lifting one leg into the air as if to avoid stepping on a scurrying creature. ``Ahh, my legs!''

\tSnowflake had no fur from the knees down! She was totally naked, and now she had no fur on her shins!

\t``Such a close call!'' Monique laughed, smacking Snowflake and splattering stomach juice everywhere. ``Whooo! Wow, this is already a lot more fun than last Halloween, right?''

\tSnowflake smiled and rubbed her head. ``Yeah... I think you're right. Wow thank you for saving me! But now I really need a bath.''

\t``The bath is upstaiiiiirs...'' the house itself seemed to chant. ``Come if you daaaaare.''

\tMonique quickly identified the speaker-system that had sounded, but the meeker girls were squealing and looking around wildly. Phobe didn't even look, she just knew, she wasn't dumb.

\t``Looks like a trap calls for you,'' Phobe sighed. ``Let's head out, we can use a garden hose or something.''

\t``But, I want a bath!'' Snowflake fussed, stomping her naked foot. ``I need this gook off now, it's still tingly!''

\t``Fine, but if you get eaten again it is not my fault.''

\tThe troupe started up the stairs, Monique bringing up the rear with her trove of treats, looking like some mad hermit-crab of confectionary.

\tThey reached the second floor, where paintings of gaunt, eyeless creatures gazed out at them. Many were posed as if part of some eldritch, unknowable family.

\t``Bleh,'' Phobe said and rolled her eyes.

\tThe smaller girls were pretty creeped out though. A girl sat crying at the far end of the hallway, next to the linen closet. She had bandages around her face, and was holding a syringe in her clenched fist. She rocked back and forth, while a gnarled, rat-like hand clutched at the grooves in the vented linen-closet door.

\t``No... no... no...!'' the girl cried. ``Please... no...''

\t``Miss?'' Snowflake whispered, walking hesitantly toward her. ``What's... what's wrong?''

\tAmberlina covered her mouth in fear and worry. She wanted to help the girl, but, she was terrified to get closer.

\t``Far out,'' Monique squealed in a hushed voice. ``Wow, that's so cool!''

\t``Peh,'' Phobe sounded.

\tSnowflake slowly got closer. ``Miss...?''

\t``Please, I just want him to love me, I just want to be loved...'' the girl whimpered.

\t``Miss?'' Snowflake teared, her shaking hand reaching forward.

\t``I want... him to love me THIS MUCH!!'' the girl screamed, grabbing Snowflake's arm, and pulling the screaming girl close! A hand went up to the bandages, pulling them up to reveal a misshapen, mutated face beneath!

\tSnowflake shrieked, her tail poofing to max-volume, and she fell flat on her nude butt!

\tThe cackling girl, who seemed human beneath the make-up, clutched her stomach and reset her bandages. ``Happy Halloween kid.''

\tMonique, laughing, walked up to help the shocked Snowflake, whose limbs were sticking up at the ceiling. ``You putz.''

\t``A voice said we could use the bath-tub,'' Phobe said to the human-girl.

\t``Oh, uh, I don't know if you want it. It's full of blood right now, it might stain,'' the girl explained. ``Well, it is dye.''

\t``Well unless she wants to digest slowly we'll take it,'' Phobe said.

\t``Yuuuuuck, blood?'' Snowflake fussed as Monique got the shaking cat up off the floor.

\t``Do you want to digest? Some of your fur just came out onto the floor.''

\t``Oh no!'' Snowflake mewled and scrambled to find the bathroom, leaving a small trail of fur as her skin was digested by the trailing Spot-goo she was tracking. They found the bathroom and crept into a dark-room, lit by a designer bulb. The blood-bath was warm and delightfully dark-red. With the light-fixture, it looked straight out of a ghost-movie.

\tSnowflake crept up to it... and then...

\tSlowly, a lizard-girl rose out of the blood, her eyes startlingly white as she stared at them, rising up. ``You did this... It was youuuu.''

\t``Excuse me!'' Snowflake mewled and started slipping into the warm water.

\t``Uhh what?!'' the scaly gasped, taken aback. She unconsciously slipped back to make room for Snowflake as she crept into the tub and started splashing the dyed-water into her fur.

\t``Uhh... kid? This is uh, my bath-water,'' the lizard-girl said. ``C-c'mon you're cramping my style.''

\t``It's okay dear,'' said the intercom. ``They have permission... if they daaaare!!''

\t``Fine Dad!'' the scaly-girl said. ``Sheesh. Just... open our house to the public, sure! Well it's fun, I guess. Hey what Licenses are you?''

\t``Prey,'' said Snowflake, splashing blood into her face and scrubbing.

\t``Oh, you don't say!'' the scaly said, licking her lips and starting to wrap her arms around Snowflake. ``You don't mind if I have a bite do you?''

\t``Uhh...'' she mewled, trying to shrink away.

\t``Uh, sorry,'' Phobe said, sauntering up to the side of the tub.

\tThe lizard-girl looked at her. ``Yeah?''

\t``Hey, I'm like, eleven, but, you have no idea how fucking hard blood makes me, it's like, totally a fetish for me.''

\t``Yeah sure thing,'' she said, opening her mouth and closing her teeth around Snowflake's whimpering skull.

\tPhobe plopped her balls up onto the side of the tub, her equine dick flopping out over into the water.

\tThe scaly stared, drooling over the kitten, but recognizing that her Predator A License prooobably wasn't going to cut it.

\tPhobe gently pried the lizard-girl's jaws off of Snowflake and guided her worried, blood-soaked face toward the yawning cum-slit.

\t``You don't mind if we take a break do you?'' asked Phobe, grunting as she overtook the blood-girl's face. ``Ung... I can't resist someone with a bloody-nose... If you ever want me to cock-vore someone, just give them a bloody nose and - ''

\tSlurrrrp. The scaly's boobs vanished.

\t``Oh good, I have time to wash then, maybe find something to wear,'' Snowflake mewled, and went back to bathing.

\tA laughing, yet shaking couple walked into the bathroom, and stared vacantly at the sight of two kits watching an underage naked cat-girl bathing briskly in blood while a ram with dried-blood colored fur cock-vored a blood-soaked girl twice their age.

\tThe couple, slack-jawed, slowly closed the door. ``I changed my mind honey, this is the most terrifying haunted house I've ever fucking seen.''

\t``Let's get the fuck out of here Kevin!!'' And they ran down the hall screaming.

\tThe girls all began laughing uncontrollably, except for scaly-girl cuz' she was dick-food.

\t``Let's go look for more candy, mind watching the stuff?'' Monique said, setting her bags down on the floor.

\t``Sure, I'll try to hurry up, please don't wander too far,'' said Phobe while she patted the pudgy lizard-butt slipping into her member.

\t``Yep!'' Monique pipped as she and Amberlina slipped out.

\tMonique slightly closed the door, by habit of it being a bathroom, before Amber had a chance to follow her, so she no longer had a visual of Monique for that split moment while the giggling hot-chocolate girl entered the hallway to follow.

\tAmberlina's heart stopped. Her chest filled with ice and her whole body tightened. She felt she'd turned to stone...

\tThis wasn't the same hallway.

\tAmberlina twisted around, the hallway a dizzying display as she tried to find the bathroom door. Yet, there was none. She was stranded, now, in a very long hallway with no side-doors.

\tIt was massive. The ceiling was easily higher than the house had been, with massive glittering chandeliers. Despite how high the ceiling was, there was not a single shadow in the entire hallway. There was an unsettling atmosphere all the same, but it was not from what she couldn't see, but from the sheer volume of what she could see. Great end-tables, filled with golden treats of macabre decadence and oozing frostings, everything stacked on solid-gold plates. Candlelabras and gaslamps littered the hallway, each made of gold. The furniture was all dark mahogany, and silver mirrors littered the hallway and reflected the dozens-of-candles into tens-of-dozens. The carpet was a yawning red, guiding her in either direction for what seemed like the length of a whole house's yard, instead of one measly hallway.

\t``MONIIIIQUEEE!!'' she shrieked, panicking. Clapping a hand to her face, she looked everywhere for a sign of Monique. ``Monique!! Oh my gods Monique, help! Oh my gods where am I? WHERE AM I??!''

\tScreaming, crying, panting, Amberlina ran down the hallway, her own crying face her only company in the many mirrors. The sweet-trays cluttering the hall-tables assaulted her nose with so much saccharine-scent that she felt sick. She whimpered and tripped over herself, scrambling on all-fours slightly for a short distance... And when she uprighted herself...

\tShe suddenly caught her own face in the mirror, but instead of looking at her own face, she saw that her reflection, scared and crying, had continued running forward without her.

\tAmberlina stared, watching her reflection run from mirror to mirror, away into the room at the end of the hallway.

\tHyperventilating, Amberlina looked at her mirror again, finding no reflection for her... She walked up to it, and gently placed her hand on the glass...

\tNothing happened.

\tHead jittering, Amberlina turned her head back to the massive doors at the end of the hallway... and slowly made her way forward.

\tShe could hear slow-jazz music playing on the other side. Her lips trembled as she reached up for the handles. The doors, fit for the palace of a king, yielded to her with unsettling compliance.

\tAmberlina walked into a kitchen.

\tIt was jarring how different it was from the previous room. Her face grimaced, tears running into the corners of her maw, as she looked over the nearly monochrome room. It was a long, thin, ugly kitchen. It was almost perfectly white, except for thick, grey streaks of grime, soot, and grease that marked the uneven surfaces and edges of every counter and device. The stove was a blasted, discarded heap of scrap. The microwave was left open, something abandoned inside and blackened from over-cooking. The kitchen was filthy, and yet, anywhere there was no grease or soot, it was spotlessly white.

\tThe windows opened out onto a white void, so empty that Amberlina glossed over the windows at first.

\tHer gaze instead was fixated on the fact that she was not alone here.

\tA dog was seated at the dingy table, smiling, and holding a cup of coffee. Head tilted down, his beanie slightly obscured his face. He had a good-natured smile on his maw, and he gently lifted his chin.

\tThe ambient light caught his eyes, and Amberlina was astonished at how pretty they were for all their anonymous brown color. A light, crisp smile was on his face, as unassuming as the blonde-roast coffee he was sipping.

\t``Hey there Rose!'' he greeted. ``Pull up a seat!''

\t``Yeah, pull up a seat!'' said her reflection.

\tAmberlina was somehow sitting in a chair at the table, looking down at a cup of earl-gray tea. Her face stared at her from the dark, shimmering circle hugging the rim. Her reflection was talking to her. She couldn't remember sitting down.

\tHer reflection smiled.

\t``Amby, guess what! It's The Hungry Man!''
