"I'm not scared of you," the low-leveled trainer stumbled over his words, tracking the movement within the bushes with his flashlight. The small fennec fox pricked his ears as the noises came from two directions at once. He spun in a circle and fought to keep his paws steady.  "I will hurt you if I have to," he barked, placing a paw on one of the pokeballs at his waist. Dan knew that they were useless, as he'd just come from a losing trainer battle, but whoever was after him didn't. "

"What
are you looking at?" a voice grumbled from the thicket.
When
the girl sitting before her spoke it caused Marina to flinch. She
crept closer, careful to keep her long reptilian body hidden.
"How
on earth did you hear me?" her quiet voice broke the soft
ambiance of the nature around them.
"You

swivel of her head brought her large hare ears into the light.
Marina's eyes widened, her hands grippin

His
flashlight was acting up, causing him to tap it against his hand in
an attempt to keep it alive. The beam sprung back to life after only
three taps, and Jake quickly pointed it back in front of him. The

emerging only once a month to feed. Jake hadn't seen the thing for

The
sun shone bright and harshly down onto the water, and Zee drank

on her toes and avoiding conflict with the larger, more predatory
reptiles. Most were vicious carnivores, and when they couldn't find a

The
sun peeked in throught the windows of Julia's home. She blinked
uncomfortably as she was returned to the waking world, her dream

no clock ticking. It was utterly silent, a perfect morning to wake up
naturally to.
She
sat up, but the peaceful feeling was quicly fading. She didn't

"I
really
don't think this is a good idea," Maria muttered. Her boyfriend
had dragged her all the way to where he worked in order to have what
he claimed would be the "kinkiest sex she'd ever experience."
But when she remembered that he worked after hours as at a local zoo
she fought to find a way to make it sexy. She'd been positive through
most of the journey, but as he clocked himself in and led her deeper
into the facility her positive facade dropped.
