Chapter 21: Tabby

Pages 290-315

“Well, which direction now Einstein?” Marcus grumbled with a shake of his head when they came to the first intersection in the corridor beyond the door.

“I don’t know, can’t you follow his scent or something,” Chris complained with a sigh.

“What just because I am Canine. I am some sort of excellent tracker like one of them bloodhound hunting dogs,” Marcus snapped in irritation. It wasn’t as if he couldn’t smell Hunter. However, that didn’t tell him which way the man went. He was sure he could figure it out if he tried both directions to see which direction the man’s scent became weaker, but he wasn’t a damn dog. He would use his intelegence instead.

“That is not what I meant and you know it,” Chris replied with a roll of his eyes despite his roommate’s continued grumbling about trained dogs. “Look, can you follow him or not,” he finally asked again once Marcus seemed to be finished with his ranting.

“Yeah, but not because I am a canine. He left foot prints in the dust on the floor,” Marcus answered with a chuckle.

“I don’t see any damn dust,” Chris complained as he looked at the floor. 

“Not here but down there,” Marcus explained as he pointed to the right.

“You are such a dick sometimes,” Chris complained, as he turned right.

“I may be a dick, but I am still your favorite roommate,” Marcus teased with a chuckle. “Maybe that explains why you are mounted all the time. You just like dicks,” he continued to tease as he followed.

“Which direction do you think we are heading?” Chris asked curiously, as he ignored Marcus’ jabs.

“I could be wrong, but I think we are headed to the residential area,” Marcus answered as his ears began to twitch. “Do you hear that?” Marcus asked as he crouched in the corridor.

Chris failed to stifle his laughter once they heard the transit run past in the ground somewhere close. “Does it seem like we are going up?” he asked before they came to another door after rounding a corner. However, this one wasn’t new and shiny stainless steel. It could have been any old closet door for all he could tell. “Aw fuck,” he complained after he pushed the door open.

“I think the alley cats are still in the hospital, besides I am with you,” Marcus tried to reassure despite how badly he wished they had brought Blake, Truck, or Leo for that matter. It was late and he didn’t want to be caught crossing the feline residential section of the city during the day.

“Either way, keep quiet,” Chris, urged nervously. “Which way?” he added as he tried to look everywhere at once.

“I am surprised to see you came back,” Fence said to announce his presence. “What are you doing here?” he demanded with a scowl.

Chris appreciated Marcus’ efforts to protect him by stepping in front, but he was not the same man who had wondered in here the last time. “We are looking for him. He passed through here. Did you see where he went?” he replied once he stepped up beside Marcus with the fighting stance Hunter had taught him. However, his confidence faltered as other alley cats began to pile out into the dark alley.

“I will take them,” Fence announced as he stepped forward.

Chris didn’t wait this time. He launched himself towards Fence as he stepped forward, where he captured the unsuspecting man’s arm. He placed his left hand in the crook of the man’s elbow as he stepped deep to drive the man to the ground, before he twisted his wrist to an unnatural position. “You should know that I am not the easy meat, I was the last time we met,” he declared as he glared at the other alley cats to dare them to come forward.

“I meant I will take you to him. You asshole,” Fence snarled with a groan for the pain.

“I thought…,” Chris began hesitantly as he released some of the pressure on Fence’s wrist. “The last time we met, you were not very courteous,” he tried to explain.

“That fucker beat the living shit out of us. Then he went around to each one of us and continued to beat us. I think it was the waiting for your turn was the worst part. You could hear him making his way through us, by who was screaming. He would break your leg, while he repeated Maya sends her regards. Then he would move to his next victim. After he had broken everyone’s leg, he would start over with something else. It was one of the longest nights of my life. I have never known fear like the fear I experienced that night. No… no, you know the worst part of the whole ordeal… It wasn’t the pain or the waiting for your turn. It was the time in the hospital. It was being confined without being able to move. There was no privacy. There was no way to relieve yourself without aid. The whole time the itch to get out, to…,” Fence complained until he realized to whom he was speaking.

“I know how your instincts plague you. He does too. He is working on medication to alleviate it,” Chris announced hesitantly. 

“You have no idea, what it is like. You have no idea how dreadful being confined to those beds was for us. Now, I am banned from the club… from everything. We are not even welcome at Cole’s,” Fence continued with a scowl.

Chris could see it in the feral eyes around him that it was true. They were on edge and needed some sort of release. “I can’t help you now. I need to find him. We will see what we can do after we deal with him,” he declared with a sigh.

“Follow me… However, I think he wishes to be alone,” Fence instructed once he was finally allowed off the ground.

“What do you mean?” Marcus asked with a frown. He wasn’t too sure if it would be wise to bother Hunter if he wanted to be alone. The way he figured it, that man could do whatever the fuck he wanted and no one would or could do anything about it anyway.

“How is it you are out of the hospital already?” Chris asked curiously.

“He sent the guard to visit us. He had some sort of device with him, which healed our injuries. He told us our debt had been paid and our past transgressions had been forgiven with the warning that we would not be able to pay the bill the next time something happened. I don’t think he bothered to tell everyone else about the forgiven part,” Fence answered as he continued to lead the way.

“Where are we going?” Marcus asked once he realized they were actually headed back to the University.

“The construction site at the University,” Fence answered with a sigh.

“Couldn’t you have just told us that,” Chris observed as he shook his head.

“You did not listen to a thing I told you… did you,” Fence snapped in irritation. “I brought you because, I will not have it be said we didn’t offer assistance. You still do not know how frightening that… that… What the fuck is he?” he continued to snarl.

“That you will have to ask him. I will not reveal any secret of his unless I am sure he will not mind. However, I can assure you he is more dangerous than you can imagine,” Chris replied as he stopped to hold Fence’s gaze. 

“Huhm,” Fence grunted in contempt before he broke off his stare to continue leading the way. He suspected he knew more about how dangerous the man was than his naïve roommates, but he wouldn’t argue the point for now. “We saw him come out of that alley where we found you. That door used to have a billboard sign in front of it. None of us even knew the door was there. However, it appears he shattered the sign as he exited the door. We tried to follow him to make sure nothing happened to him that could somehow be blamed on us. However, we could not follow him. He could jump from one building to the next over impossible distances. He scaled walls with the ease of one of the insectoids. He is not human,” Fence explained as they neared the construction site.

“He is humanoid, not human,” Marcus clarified quickly.

“Yeah, if you say so. That is where he is,” Fence declared with a grin as he turned to watch Chris and Marcus.

“I don’t see him,” Marcus complained as he scanned the dark worksite.

“Look up,” Fence explained but never took his eyes off the other two.

“I don’t… Fuck… How the fuck did he get up there?” Marcus cursed as he spotted the man sitting on top of one of the few vertical I-beams, which seemed to tower above the rest.

“Like I said, we tried to follow him. I think he intended to perch himself on one of our towers, but our presence seemed to annoy him. That is when he came here. Not even one of us could get up there. What is he?” Fence repeated as he watched their faces.

“To be honest, I don’t think we know exactly what he is. Sometimes I get the feeling he doesn’t either. I can tell you this much. He feels he has a lot in common with the furs. However, I think the problems the furs have are just a hint of what plagues him. Those from his planet have fucked him up in a bad way,” Marcus answered honestly. “Shit… I think he may have heard that,” he whispered as he noticed Hunter’s head turn to look down at him with a scowl.

“Well, if he can hear us,” Chris began but realized he didn’t know what in the hell he wanted to say. “Damn it Hunter, get down here so we can talk,” he finally demanded a little louder. 

“Really? That was the best you could come up with,” Marcus grumbled with a shake of his head. However, he couldn’t believe the man was actually coming down or how for that matter. The man simply leapt down several floors to a cross beam, before he seemed to swing down a few more floors to another cross beam. He could have passed for a monkey except the distances were too far. Well, he thought they were too far. He hadn’t actually seen a monkey, but he had seen videos.

“He is not human,” Fence complained once again.

“We know that,” Chris snapped in frustration.

“I thought I needed a moment alone to think. It is not helping,” Hunter complained before he squat on the ground. 

“I don’t understand why you are upset,” Marcus complained more than asked.

“Something is still wrong with me. I nearly raped that man,” Hunter admitted with a shiver.
 
“You were paired with him. I don’t think it is rape in this case,” Chris corrected with a glance at Fence.

“You are upset for nearly mounting a man you had been paired with in ring one,” Fence replied for clarification. He didn’t need an answer to see it was true. However, any attempt to restrain his laughter was pointless. “What do you think was supposed to happen?” he protested in disbelief.

“I was supposed to submit to this man named Leo,” Hunter snapped with a glare. “I nearly failed to do so. It was simple enough. However, I couldn’t control myself. It is not natural for me, despite the strange pleasure I felt. I don’t know,” he continued to snarl until he came to his senses. “Why am I talking to you about this?” he spat in disgust.

“Because you said our past transgressions are forgiven. Because you are being a fool,” Fence snapped back until he heard the words roll from his lips.

“It was supposed to help the others feel more comfortable around me,” Hunter mumbled as he wondered how he had been convinced this would work.

“Who came up with that stupid idea?” Fence questioned in disbelief. However, he could tell no one was going to own that one. “Here is an idea. Quit being all weird and mysterious. Quit pretending to be something you are not. I know you are not human. They know you are not human. Everyone knows it. Why do you continued to pretend to be one? It looks like you have something to hide,” he added with a shake of his head.

“Why are you still talking to me?” Hunter snapped again.

“Believe it or not, I am trying to help you. Stop trying to keep so many damn secrets. There are so many rumors about you, it is a wonder anyone wants to be around you,” Fence cursed the fool. 

“You want to know what I am. I will show you,” Hunter snarled before he released his bound up forms.

Chris knew the man had secrets. He understood they were most likely secrets he could never reveal. It was what he was. However, he was beginning to wonder if Fence was correct to a certain extent. He had seen Hunter change to his canine form previously, but this time it seemed different. Somehow, he appeared larger. He also knew Hunter could assume other forms or that was what the man had claimed. He wasn’t too concerned, as the canine became a feline, which would have been very similar to Leo, but taller. However, he didn’t even know what a few of the forms were. One could have been a plant with teeth. It was the winged lizard that spit fire into the sky, which was the most impressive. 

“Does it make you feel better to know I am a freak of nature? Do you find solitude knowing what kind of monster I am,” Hunter growled once he returned to his humanoid form.

“Well, I can’t deny it was interesting. Was that a dragon?” Fence asked curiously.

Hunter was shocked by the man’s nonchalant response. He expected loathing fear, but he didn’t seem impressed. “You do not find me horrifying?” he questioned skeptically.

“I am not human. There is only one human here and he doesn’t even behave like a normal human. Don’t treat us like them,” Fence declared with a scowl.

“You know he may actually be on to something. You may have been going about this all wrong. You have been trying desperately to control this to hide it, but the furs do not care if you are an animal. They are essentially the same. Maybe…,” Chris was agreeing reluctantly until interrupted.

“They are not like me. I am the garbage. Furs are designed with care. They are beautiful,” Hunter, corrected with a shake of his head.

“You are mistaken there. That may be what those of the Common Wealth call you but I don’t see it. You may have your defects, but so do the rest of us. We are sterile for fucks sakes. That doesn’t exactly make us perfect,” Marcus snapped at hearing the man’s garbage comment once to many times. “The human’s treat us like garbage. We may not be treated as bad as you have over the years, but we are still imprisoned here for no crime of our own,” he continued to explain. 

“They are right. The rest may feel they have more in common if they knew what you were,” Chris agreed reluctantly.

“I don’t know. You may be sterile, which I hope to correct. However, I can grow a cock in my fucking mouth. I have come to the conclusion we are not as close as I had hoped,” Hunter complained with a shake of his head.

“You can grow a cock in your mouth?” Fence replied with a chuckle.

“Well, I am not entirely sure what the hell it is. It is beyond odd. Sometimes it acts more like a tentacle. I picked it up on one of the strangest planets I have ever visited. The plants there are not plants, but carnivores that look like plants. They bleed blood instead of sap. The insects there were nearly as frightening,” Hunter admitted absentmindedly as his thoughts were consumed by their suggestion.

“Where are you going?” Chris asked once Hunter stood and began to stumble away. “Are you okay?” he added once he noticed the man stumble again.

“The commissary… changing forms like that does take vast amounts of energy,” Hunter answered as he continued walking.

“You should probably put some clothes on first,” Marcus suggested with a laugh, before he heard the wisp noise as Hunter was covered with his nanomesh.

“He is one strange fucker,” Fence cursed with a shake of his head.

“Thank you… I will talk with Blake,” Chris assured reluctantly before he turned to follow Hunter.

***

“I don’t know why you insist on coming out here to stare at her every day after class if you will not talk to her,” Chris complained as they stood at the wall, which surrounded the construction site so Hunter could watch the equine female named Star. Today, she was loading skids of building supplies for the crane operator to lift to the workers on the high steel. He had to admit the things he had witnessed her carry were more than impressive, but she still looked too much like Blake for his taste.

“I could introduce you,” Blake offered with a wide grin that looked odd on his long face.

“I… what would I say? No, I…,” Hunter began until he felt something roll over him. “Did you feel that?” he asked curiously.

“I thought… maybe, a tremor,” Blake replied with a little thought.

“Shit, not again,” Chris complained as he remembered the last time he had felt a tremor. He had nearly lost control of his bowels. However, he thought it might not be as bad since he knew it was coming this time. Nevertheless, he did manage to shoot Marcus a glare for his laughter at his expense, before the tremors hit. However, this time it was worse. He barely recognized Hunter was the only man still standing before he watched the man’s face turn to an expression of horror. Chris was still trying to get to his feet when the man disappeared through the wall. The ground began to heave again as he and his friends clutched to what remained of the wall for support as they watched Hunter run and stumble towards Star who seemed frozen in fear as she watched the loaded crane above her. Chris didn’t know what happened or why the crane failed but the load began to fall as Hunter leapt towards her. He lost sight of the pair as the dust rose around them from the debris from the collapsed crane. He didn’t even realize they had scrambled past the broken fence to aid their friend as the dust began to settle. He could see Hunter’s tackle had carried Star well past any falling debris. “Well, I guess that is one way to introduce yourself,” he offered with a chuckle before the ground heaved beneath them one last time. Chris had barely enough time to look up from where he lay, before his bowels turned to water. “Look out!” he screamed too late. One of the massive I-beams had come loose from the tall structure and fell, where Hunter lay with the object of his infatuation in his arms.

***

Star was becoming rather disturbed by the way the human stared at her every day. She didn’t know what the man wanted but she didn’t want anything to do with the humans. She had dealt with them enough through her work at the worksite. Nevertheless, she had begun to notice this human was different. She noticed other furs now accompanied him more often than not. However, it was when she would see him stand next to the male equine that she had a hard time understanding what she saw. No human stood as tall as an Equine fur and that equine did not appear small either. It just wasn’t possible. Nevertheless, it was still no less creepy. She didn’t have time for his… Her thoughts were shattered as she felt the tremor ripple deep below her feet. Her eyes shot up to the load hanging from the crane high over her head. She kept her eyes glued as she tried to decide which way to jump if it began to fall. However, this was not their average quake. The ground heaved and buckled as she struggled for her footing. She fell to her knees, while she kept her eyes on that heavy load. A sigh of relief escaped her lips, as she returned to her unsteady feet, before the second quake hit. It felt as if she was bounce hard off the ground as she heard the strain of the crane. She barely had time to look up in horror as the load and crane crashed towards her. 

Everything went dark as Star was hit with a ton of debris. She coughed and sneezed as dust filled her nose. Her side was on fire and she was sure something was wrong with her shoulder. However, she was still alive. It was impossible. As the dust settled, she realized someone was lying on top of her. Her eyes fluttered open to see the strange human was on top of her and he was stroking her along her chin. 

“I am… you are… beautiful,” Hunter stammered before he wiped the dampness from the corner of his eye. He was sure he had hit her too hard in his attempt to save her from being crushed. It wasn’t until he noticed her eyes fluttered open before he even realized she was merely unconscious.

Star barely recognized the strange man’s words as she stared in disbelief. However, she had no problem recognizing the massive I-beam as it tumbled towards them. She couldn’t force a single croak out of her throat as she witnessed her own death. The puzzled look on the man’s face would have been funny under different circumstances. The beam seemed to take forever to fall as it hammered against the standing structure. The poor man barely had time to look over his shoulder to see what had frightened her. She watched in disbelief as the man raised his arm in a flash as he tried to stand. Nevertheless, they were crushed by its weight. The pain was unimaginable, as it seemed to continue to strike her. She had no idea how long it took her to realize she was once again still alive. The poor man was what continued to hit her as he thrashed in pain beside her. 

“Fuck!” Chris exclaimed as he clamored over the bent beam. “Hunter! Hunter!” he shouted at the mangled remains of their friend as he thrashed around on the ground. It appeared as if the man’s entire right side had been cut from him in a clean slice, but upon closer inspection, he realized Hunter’s arm, shoulder, and side had been smashed into the rest of his body. The man’s legs were shattered to the point his feet were where his knees used to be. However, the female equine named Star was relatively unharmed. “What do you need, Hunter?” Chris screamed as his friend’s thrashing slowed. He nearly jumped out of his skin as their data pads began to squall simultaneously. Chris reached for his first while the others failed to recognize who it would be. “He says we have to get him out of here… Blake,” he explained as he stepped out of the way. “Marcus, clear the way. Knock anyone who gets in the way on their ass. Let’s get him out of here. Go the way we came last night,” Chris instructed as his friends began to move. He barely spared the other workers a glance as Marcus pushed them out of their way. He pushed his legs for speed they didn’t posses to keep up with his friends as they headed towards the Feline housing. He checked his data pad when it began to chirp once again. “He wants us to hide him,” he announced as they continued to run. However, it seemed as if the streets were crawling with people as they fled their homes. 

“Fence! Fence!” Marcus called as he ran.

“What do you want canine,” one of the felines questioned as he ran beside the odd group.

“We need to find a place to hide him. Fence knows who he is,” Chris explained quickly.

“Everyone knows who he is. Follow us,” the feline instructed with a scowl.

Chris hadn’t even realized they had been surrounded. He couldn’t help wonder if these were more alley cats or were they just felines who lived here and had been curious about their presence. However, it didn’t take much thought to realize it was Hunter’s presence, which was the most likely source of their attention.

“Make it quick he looks like he is in bad shape,” one of the felines observed with concern.

“Tabby’s…,” one of the other felines suggested. 

“This way,” the leader declared as they turned down an alley. “Someone inform Fence we have guests once again,” he added with a snarl. He paused at a door, where he took a deep breath before he knocked. “Tabby… Tabby open up this is an emergency,” the man called through the door. 

Chris watched as the door opened slowly, while his heart seemed to lurch in his chest. He could tell Tabby was a female feline, but she wasn’t the beautiful goddess he expected. She was as dirty as the rest of the alley cats. Her fur was even matted in places. As he looked around, he began to realize they were in what he would have considered a slum part of the city. Nevertheless, he was more than grateful when she let them inside. “Now what?” he asked before his data pad chirped once again. “What?” he repeated when he didn’t understand the message.

“What did it say?” Blake asked as he looked for a clean place to lay Hunter down. 

“It said run,” Chris replied with a shake of his head.

“RRRunnn,” Hunter growled as his eyes rolled back in his head. He held off as long as he could, but he couldn’t stop it any longer. 

“You guys may want to evacuate,” Chris suggested, but he stood his ground. He would not leave him like this. 

“I am not leaving my house. It may not look like much to the likes…,” Tabby began with a snarl, before she noticed the man the equine was carrying. It had to be the human that was on everyone’s lips. “My bed is in there,” she offered as she pointed to a door.
 
Blake carried Hunter through the door to find a dirty stained mattress on the floor. He hesitated to place the man on such filth.

“Lay him here, I will take care of him,” Tabby swore as she tried to think of anything she could do for someone with their body smashed… “How is he alive?” she asked as she knelt at the poor man’s side. She tried to feel his forehead but the heat was incredible. She could cook her dinner on him. She began to undress him before his words caused her to pause.
 
“RRRRunnn,” Hunter repeated one last time before he released himself.

“You should…” Chris began before his words were cut off by the low growl from Hunter that continued to grow in volume until he could feel it in his chest. It was followed by the gut wrenching sounds of his bones popping and snapping as the man reformed. However, he knew they were not forming the form of a Human. He was returning to his Canine form. Once again, this form wasn’t the same as the one he witnessed in the gym. This thing shredded his clothes as he continued to grow. He was always oversize, but this thing was just hideous. The teeth in that mouth were longer than his fingers. However, it was the feral look in his eyes, which was the most frightening before it stood to hit its head on the ceiling. “Hunter,” Chris croaked as the beast snapped its jaws at the ceiling. “Hunter,” he forced out once again. However, he almost wished he hadn’t drawn his attention now that he had it. “What do you need?” he asked nervously. He held his breath as the beast shook its head vigorously, before it raised it in a howl that should have shattered the glass dome. However, once it lowered its massive head, he recognized Hunter was moving his hand to his throat as he had witnessed him do previously.

“Need to feed… feed bad… run,” Hunter warned as he struggled to control his urge to feed.

“I have some food,” Tabby assured as she leapt from the room. 

“We will get you something to eat,” Chris replied nervously. However, what he saw the poor girl brought back was little more than scraps. “That will not be enough,” Chris warned as he dug into his pockets. “I don’t care what it costs, find him something quick and bring it back before he eats one of us,” he instructed as he tossed his student card at the one who had acted as if he was in charge.

Chris heard a gasp escape Tabby and managed to turn in time to witness Hunter devour a can of something can and all. He thought the man was doing better when he knelt down as he used to do when they first met. He actually thought the man would return to his human form as he had witnessed him do previously. However, he knew something was wrong when he could physically see the man shaking.

“Please run… I beg… rrrrhhuun,” Hunter sobbed as he struggled to maintain his sanity for enough time to let them escape him.

Chris was frozen in fear. He couldn’t leave the man. He couldn’t let the man lose this fight. However, he was lost. There was literally nothing left, which he could do for the man.

Tabby had never witness anything like what she had seen this day. She was frightened and she would never deny it. However, there was something in the man’s voice. She grew more confident, he would not harm her the more he begged. She felt her knees collapse as she knelt at his head, before she recognized he was stroking his damaged ear tenderly. She reached out with a shaky hand until she touched his other ear. She swallowed hard as his ear lay back as he recoiled away from her. “I will not hurt you. I am sure you do not want to hurt me,” she whispered in a croak as she placed her shaky hand on his ear once again. “We will find you some food… just hang in there,” she coaxed as she began to stroke his hear tenderly.
 
 It could have been mere minutes, but Chris felt as if it had taken hours before any of the alley cats returned with more food for Hunter who had taken to whining constantly as his stomach expressed its complaints. Nevertheless, once they did start to return, there was a good stream of them coming in and out of the room. It was simply amazing how fast Hunter could make food disappear. After a few hours of eating anything brought in front of him, Hunter finally lay down on the mattress, where he immediately began to whimper and twitch. “We will need to return to our dorm soon. We have class in the morning,” Chris announced as he nervously looked around the crowded room.

“He will be safe here,” Fence assured as he stepped forward.

“I will take care of him,” Tabby offered as she continued to stroke the monster’s ears and wipe away his tears.

“Why is he crying?” Blake asked with a scowl.

“It… he said… He doesn’t like to sleep because his dreams are of his late wife and her execution,” Chris stuttered awkwardly at the distasteful subject.

“Shit!” Fence cursed as he stared at the strange man. “Don’t worry about him. If he can survive that, he can survive a few nightmares,” he added with a weak grin.

“He worries about his sanity,” Chris warned with a frown.

“Oh, shit… we will take care of it,” Fence declared with a nervous shiver as he struggled to contain his doubts to their abilities to deliver his promises.

“Let us know if you need anything,” Chris instructed as he held out his hand for his student card, while he wondered how much it had cost him. He chastised himself for the thought as he accepted his card and made towards the door. “Blake, I have been meaning to talk to you about the alley cats,” he began hesitantly.

“Damn it, class will come early tomorrow,” Marcus grumbled as he opened the door to their dorm room.

“Boys,” Frank greeted with a smile.

“Fuck! You scared the shit out of me,” Marcus snapped once he regained his composure.

“Christ, son you could snap me in half if you wanted to do so,” Frank replied with a chuckle.

“Not before you shot me,” Marcus corrected with a raised brow.

“That is true. Do you mind if I sit?” Frank laughed before he took a seat on one of the beds.

“Sure make yourself at home,” Chris offered with a scowl. Why in the hell did their room even have a lock on it if anyone could just walk in any time they wanted? 
“What can we do for you Frank?” he asked with a sigh.

“There was an incident at the construction site,” Frank began as he watched the two youths.

“Yes, what do you want? It is late and we have class in a couple hours,” Marcus snapped in frustration.

“Where is he?” Frank asked as he watched the canine begin to undress.

“He asked us to hide him,” Chris answered honestly, before he followed Markus’ lead and began to undress as well.

“He is well then?” Frank continued to question while he ignored the young men’s attempts to make him uncomfortable.

“He is alive and healing well,” Chris, answered as he finished undressing.

“That is all I wanted,” Frank replied with a chuckle for their futile attempts. “You can let him know that the female horse fur named Star is fine. Is that right horse fur or would it be… never mind. It is irrelevant. She suffered from a dislocated shoulder and some bruised ribs, but he saved her life. I think she intends to thank him personally,” Frank replied as he made his way to the door. “Oh, and ask him to quit using his alien technology to heal people. It is rather difficult to explain and cover up,” he added as he opened the door to let himself out of the room. “One more thing, nice package… and nice butt,” he added as he made a point to stare at the canine’s junk then the other boy. However, there was no restraining his hearty laughter as he closed the door behind him for the horrified looks on their faces. It wasn’t as if he swung that way, but they didn’t know that. It deserved them right for their attempts intimidate him. They just had no idea who he was. Hell, if he could handle Hunter’s threats then their attempts were child’s play.

***

Tabby stayed with the big man throughout the night. She tried to keep him calm by petting his ear and wiping away his tears, but eventually she was overcome by exhaustion. She didn’t even realize she had fallen asleep while holding him until she woke with a start once he began to stir. She did her best to comfort him as his twitching turned to thrashing. However, it was for naught as he bolted to his feet once he regained consciousness. She nearly lost control of her bowels as he growled with a low feral snarl, while his head swung around him as if he didn’t recognize his surroundings. “You were injured. We were taking care of…,” she began to explain before she was thrown into a corner of the room. She let out a shrill cry as she hit the wall. She was sure he was going to kill her. However, as she turned around she noticed he had his back to her. He continued to back up until she struggled to see around him. “Fence get out. He will kill you!” she screamed once she realized what was happening. The beast wasn’t killing her. He was protecting her from those who had entered the room behind her. She heard the rushed footsteps as the others fled her apartments, before the beast turned to sniff at her. He didn’t stand on his back legs as he had previously. She was sure he was as comfortable moving around on all fours like an animal as he was walking bipedal as a human. She found it odd, but realized the thought was pointless. He was not a fur, and yet he was. “Stop,” she scolded with a chuckle as his wide tongue slathered up her neck and face. She couldn’t restrain her giggles as she wrapped her arms around his thick neck, while he continued to nuzzle at her neck and face. “You must be feeling better,” she observed as she pulled away from him. She let him continue his sniffing at her, until she felt his tongue slide up between her legs. “No!” she chastised as she swatted his fat nose. However, she almost felt sorry for the beast as he sat back on his haunches to study her. She almost felt sorry… that was until she spotted his huge pink shaft peeking out of his furry sheath above a pair of testicles, which belonged on something like one of the bovine furs. “Holy shit… I don’t know if I can do much about that. You are rather large for me,” she explained with a lick of her lips as she watched a dribble of clear fluid begin to run down the side of that now throbbing shaft. She had serviced the alley cats on occasion to relieve herself as much as to help them, but she had only heard of cocks that size and they were equine or bovine not feline or canine like the cock in front of her. “Oh, shit,” she mumbled once she noticed that bulge still in his sheath. She didn’t even realize she had stepped towards him until she felt his tongue on her cheek again. She opened her mouth and she was rewarded with his huge tongue as it explored and tasted her. “Fuck, this is insane,” she panted with a shudder. “Down, down,” she instructed as she tried to push his fat head to the ground. “Roll over,” she continued to coax, as the huge beast seemed to look up at her with sad eyes. “Well, I can’t do this without a little cooperation,” she complained as she tried to get the monster to his back. She couldn’t believe how heavy he was as she continued her struggles. However, she found herself straddling his neck as she held his front legs in the air. It only took an instant for him to take advantage of his position to push his muzzle under her short skirt to lap at her sex. His huge tongue nearly pushed her over the edge in an instant as he forced it into her to a depth no other male had ever reached with their tongue, cock, or otherwise. She spread her legs as wide as she could to allow him more access as she collapsed across his huge chest. “Aaahhhg… aaahhhg,” she moaned as her body was wracked by delicious pleasure as he lapped at her with vigor. 

“Fuck, Tabby… take caring of him didn’t include fucking him,” Fence declared from the door. However, he wondered if letting the beast know of his presence was very wise as it immediately glared with a vicious growl.

“Well, he is horny as shit and unless you or one of the alley cats wants to service him, I will do as necessary until he can return to whatever he normally is,” Tabby scolded over her shoulder at the fool. 

“I think we will pass at that offer,” Fence declared nervously as he held out his empty hands in a pacifying gesture to the beast as he backed away from the room. Hell, he didn’t even know if the monster knew what his hand gesture meant by the feral looks he received.

Tabby knew Fence was gone soon as the beast returned to lapping at her sex. She couldn’t help it as a smile slid across her face. This chore was one she would thoroughly enjoy. The sound of his huge tongue delving into her as he slurped and feasted on her taste was nearly enough for her second orgasm. However, she felt him stirring beneath her before she felt the dampness on her face. She hadn’t even realized her eyes had shut in her ecstasy, until she had to force them open to see what he was doing. However, the sight of that huge pointy prick thrusting towards her head was almost frightening. There was a thick strand of what she was sure was cum hanging from the tip. She watched in disbelief as another glob emerged from his flesh, which allowed the first strand to be flung across her muzzle from his humping motions. “Fuck, this is going to hurt,” she mumbled as her heart threatened to explode in her chest. Nevertheless, she forced herself to inch forward on his chest toward his member. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves before she nervously placed her lips on the end of his dripping cock. 

Panic filled Tabby as the beast hunched his hips forward to drive his manhood into the back of her throat. She tried to relax as he began humping and thrusting madly, but she was nearly frightened out of her mind until she felt his tongue return its attention to her sex. The sound of moans filled her ears as her second climax washed over her. She continued to moan as he continued thrust deeper and deeper into her stretched throat. Her breathes became difficult as he continued to stuff his cock down her tight passage, while his tongue seemed to fill her until she utterly could not handle any more. She was beginning to imagine the man intended to lick himself through her. However, that massive knot began to bang against her stretched mouth and nearly caused her to lose her sanity. She would never fit that thing inside her. She instinctively tried to push it away from her mouth with her hands and immediately felt it jump in her hands. Her eyes were wide with wonder and shock as she watched his knot swell and shrink again as it felt as if he urinated into her stomach. Her loud swallows never even registered in her mind as she squeezed that massive bulge once again, which gave her another huge load deep inside her gullet. He seemed much calmer now. She still struggled, but she did eventually find a steady pace of squeeze and swallow, as he would thrust slowly as if he was forcing every stream of his seed deep within his bitch. She hadn’t even realized his tongue had gone nearly limp inside of her stretched and tired sex until he returned to his lapping at her with every load he fed her. She was beginning to worry as he continued to feed her his spunk. Her throat was on fire with every throb of his embedded shaft. Her jaws ached and her stomach seemed to slosh with every swallow. Her sex had grown sore as it continued to clench at his tireless tongue from repeated orgasms. Her concern turned to panic as tears formed in her eyes, by the time she felt his shaft begin to shrink. She gagged as he withdrew his shrunken flesh from her sore throat. It was unbelievable as he continued to spray cum in her mouth as she spit him out. He was stronger flavored than any of the alley cats she had tasted. She was grateful his stream of jizz had lost its force and volume as she panted with her lips on the tip of his spurting shaft. She no longer swallowed his seed. She couldn’t add another mouthful to her full and if she wasn’t mistaken slightly distended belly. “Fuck… I wish that had been in my pussy,” she mumbled as a small stream drizzled across her muzzle.

Tabby was nearly shocked at the words from her mouth. However, she knew it was true. She did want to feel him fill her with his seed despite her sore and tired muscles. It was now or never. She turned on him and he began to clean her face and mouth hungrily with his tongue as she shivered at the thought of what she was about to do. She pushed back until she felt his shrunken flesh part her sore lips. A lustful groan escaped her as she began to slide more of his length into her. However, she couldn’t restrain her wails as his hips bucked to impale her with his now thickening flesh. She could feel it pulse with every expansion as he began to thrust into her once again. Panic began to rise in her once more as she felt him prodding something in her depths. A piercing cry rang in her ears as he lunged into her. She was sure he had just penetrated her womb. The pain of having her depths stretched and shredded caused tears in her eyes as he continued to thrust savagely at her. However, she found herself pushing back onto him as her body betrayed her. She felt her muscles desperately clenching to milk him of his seed. She glanced behind her to see that his knot was nowhere near her entrance. She couldn’t even reach it. She panicked as she wondered how long he would thrust into her before he gave up trying to breed her. “Fence! Fence!” she cried as she felt his shaft continue to expand. Her tears obscured her vision by the time his thick shaft swelled to the point he was essentially stuck inside her tight passage. She moaned like a whore as his hips bucked to force her to bounce around on his muscled belly. She couldn’t get him out of her. “Fence! Fence!” she cried out desperately. “Please help me,” she begged as she spotted Fence’s head poke around the edge of the door. 

“What do you want me to do?” Fence whispered nervously. 

“Squeeze… fuck… aaahhgg… fuck…,” she squealed as another orgasm sent her to thrash on the beasts impaled shaft. “His knot… Squeeze his knot,” she begged once she could form speech.

Fence did not like what he heard. He would not squeeze a canine cock by choice. However, he knew full well what this man meant to those at the University. If anyone could get him back into the club, it would be this man. Fence knew the other human had promised to help, but that man would not have the influence this one had. This one had wealth, too. Nevertheless, he couldn’t control his shaky hands as he crept into the room with the beast, while he watched Tabby being bounced with every thrust. “Look at the size of those balls,” he exclaimed as he finally reached the business end of the beast. “Fuck, you are stuck on his shaft. He is big as any equine at the club. He could be as big as Blake himself,” he continued in his amazement.

“Quit gawking and start… fuck… aaahhgg… fuck…” Tabby squealed in protest until she fell forward while she withered in ecstasy.

Fence kneeled over the big man’s tail, before he placed his hands on the monster’s swollen gland. He was still amazed that he couldn’t even put his hands around it. It took him a moment to realize he was still staring in disbelief, before he began to squeeze. He felt the man’s flesh throb while he noticed those huge testicles drew up slightly. 

“Oh… fuck,” Tabby groaned as she felt that heavy stream begin to fill her womb.

Fence continued to squeeze the man’s knot to milk him of all he had until Tabby seemed to go limp from another climax. “Fucking unbelievable,” he cursed, as the man seemed to cum forever. “Fuck!” he complained as the man’s spunk began to spray from her stretched orifice. “Somebody will make this up to me,” he cursed as he continued to milk the man. It was Tabby’s clenching tail hole, which caught his attention as his hands began to tire. The sight of that clenching tail hole while spunk splattered across her rump from the spray escaping her sex, made him hard as he had ever been. He was sure the man was nearly finished once he noticed his knot had shrunk considerably. 

Fence couldn’t resist the urge as he continued to stare at that clenching sphincter. He rubbed his cum covered hand across her tail hole to leave it covered with the thick stringy spunk, before he slipped a finger inside of her bowels. He could feel her tightness as she continued to spasm while he worked his finger in and out of her. It only took a second, for him to drop his drawers and to slide up behind her limp panting form. He eased into her incredibly tight hole as it continued to clench, until he heard her moan. He paused briefly as she stirred slightly.

“Fence you bastard… taking advantage of a girl while she is…,” Tabby snarled until another orgasm cut off her words.

“Impaled on a huge cock,” Fence teased with a grin as he looked down into her begging eyes once they finally fluttered open again. 

“Just fuck me before this beast wakes up and finds you playing with his new fuck toy,” Tabby instructed with a snarl. “And do it well or I will tell him what you did while he rested,” she added with a nasty grin, before he plunged into her, which caused her to moan. She had never taken a male anally previously. She had always been curious. She knew the alley cats were always mounting each other. Too often, they had no other means for release. You could always tell the one who had drawn the short straw for the day, or however they decided whose turn it was. He would always have an odd way of walking the next day, while his tail would have the rest of the gang’s spunk dripping down its length. No one ever talked about it, but she had seen them mount each other on the rare occasion. It would be in some dark alley she had passed where they had assumed the darkness concealed their behaviors. Nevertheless, she had watched more than once and she had noticed the poor victim on bottom always came as much as those who were abusing his ass. She didn’t know why it was. She had heard stories or rumors, which seemed more of a myth to her, but she didn’t know why it happened. She had always wanted to try it. It was now or never.

Tabby couldn’t hold back her groans as Fence plunged his hard shaft into her ass. He had the biggest cock of the alley cats and hence the biggest she was used to servicing except for the rare canine willing to make a favorable trade. However, it was never anal. She could feel him stretching her sphincter beyond its limit as he finally stopped with his furry sheath pressed against her tail hole. “Fuck, you feel huge,” she moaned as her hips began to rock on the two cocks impaling her body. However, the feeling of those spines along Fence’s shaft shattered her mind as they drug against her sensitive bowel. Her eyes slammed shut as he began to pound his length in and out of her savagely, which triggered another agonizing climax.

Fence couldn’t decide which excited him more; the idea of breeding her tail hole, or the fact that she already had one cock wedged inside of her pussy as he buried his length into her bowels. Nevertheless, he felt as if he could explode as he rested with his sheath pressed against her tight entrance while he felt her muscles milking him in protest of his member’s intrusion of the virgin orifice. He wanted to savor this moment more than he ever wanted anything. However, he knew he wouldn’t last long. He was too pent up to last. It had been too long since he had sex and fuck, she was so tight. He plunged in once more before that long slow withdraw, but his mind was broken. His thoughts were shattered by his need to release. He didn’t think about it. He didn’t have to think about it. He let his body do what it desired… what it needed. He plowed in and out of her mercilessly. His obsessed brain couldn’t recognize half of the moans and grunts were of his own creation as he fucked her tail hole raw. It could have been hours or seconds for all he knew as he felt that burning desire well up in his testicles, before he plunged into her and ground himself into her spasming hole. His climax hit him hard. It felt as if his cock would explode as his pent up seed flooded from him in a rush. He continued to grind against her backside as wave after wave of his spunk filled her bowels. 

Tabby was used to the feel of the spines of the feline penis, but not in her ass. She continued to gasp and moan like a whore as her ass gripped his thick shaft. She could feel those spines embed into the sensitive walls of her bowels. However, the feel of them as they repeatedly raised to prod her now sore tail hole as he ground against her tight opening to release his load was too much for her once again. She came until it literally hurt. Her whimpers barely registered as she felt his hot seed coating her intestines. Nevertheless, she didn’t want it to ever end as she clenched harder to milk him of his pent up frustrations. She knew it was over, when he finally collapsed across her back to pant in her ear. Her tongue sought his open panting mouth. She was rewarded with a kiss from his tongue before she felt him dismount her with a groan. 

“Fuck that is hot. Just the sight of both your holes dripping spunk is the hottest damn thing… I think I have ever seen. I think I should be going before I fall in love with that tight ass of yours,” Fence teased with a sigh. He could feel his prick responding to just the sight before him. He could mount her again if she would let him. However, judging by her swollen and sore looking sphincter it was not likely to happen again anytime soon.

“You mean you should be going before he finds you playing with his fuck toy,” Tabby teased as she watched Fence head out the door. “And Fence…,” she called out nervously.

“Yeah,” Fence replied with a sigh as he stuck his head around the edge of the door again.

“Thank you… and… and you can do that again sometime… if you want,” Tabby offered reluctantly.

“You keep that up and I will fall in love,” Fence replied with a grin. He found it odd how his heart seemed to soar as she returned his smile with a dimpled smile of her own.
