Chapter 7

The powerful animal had easily followed the trail left by the human bitch, cunningly stalking the scent of the evosecurity cameraive mix of canine and human cum. Silently wearing his way to man-place.

His keen ears immediately picked up the sibilant vibrations of heavy human breathing... of an occasional sigh and the whimper of a female person. His animal senses noted that the moon was cloud-hidden. Warily circling the lodge the silent Shadow, sought an entrance to his prey, denied an easy entrance, following his instincts, the hunter, warily climbed the log pile stacked against the side of the lodge, and with an explosive leap of uncoiling steel like muscles launched his lithe body on to the low hanging roof of the lodge.

With a scrapping of claw against Spanish tiles he gained his footing and carefully traversed the unfamiliar surface. Now, he watched, easing soundlessly to the open skylight where they had crouched. extended himself high enough to see in. Though the room was shrouded in darkness, The mastiff, with his darkness accustomed eyes, saw her on the bed in her spread-legged position as if the sun's light were illuminating her. An almost human lust flowed through the massive dog that he had no way of fathoming. His glowing eyes centred on her long, midnight black hair that was haloed on the pillow supporting her beautiful young head.

He sensed his own feral loins beginning to enlivingly quiver. Jessica lay drifting on the edge of sleep the trauma of the days events causing her to stir restlessly and opened her eyes.

Strange sensations rippled through Jessica's abdomen as she lay limply on her back, a maze of disconnected thought- waves suddenly swirling through her head. Confusion swept through her and she tried to move, but stopped at the sound of a low, animal-like snarl. She opened her eyes then, yet continued to lie there unmoving, the strange stirring sensations in her belly ever-increasing with a weirdly rising excitement. Her sleep-drugged brain functioned slowly in its effort to restore normalcy. W-Where was she... ? It was dark... yet through the open window across the room she could see a half-moon and... and stars... wh-what had happened... ? Thunder filled the darkness of the room as simultaneously, further charges of stimulating arousal raced through her loins and belly. Jessica raised her hands to her throat in instinctive fear, then lifted herself to her elbows to see what had awakened her. Then, by the flash of revealing lightning, she saw that she was naked... wholly and shamefully naked... saw that she was lying with her legs obscenely spread apart... and

There was a thick silence pouring through the room, where even the skylight showed no paling of the night. The bedclothes were gone from her. The cold night air lay wetly on her stomach A blurred Shadow of solid darkness at the opened skylight... Dreaming. She must be dreaming, it was another of those bad dreams that had plagued her all day as she lay trembling, wrapped in her beds coverings, as she tried to forget the previous days horrific events.

The skylight... the one entrance to the lodge she had missed, as she had tried to secure the lodge against any possible intruder, before collapsing in a coma like sleep on her bed... a loud, vicious growl! Again, and then again, she heard it, Jessica had never known true fear before, not this pure terror. No one could hear her; no would could help. He would rape her and then he would kill her. Her useless scream went sliding down the walls of the valley. Her half-scream caused The mastiff's muscles to tense, and with one sure movement he was in the man-things lair. Jessica lay in deathly silence, fastened to the bed by terror slowly she reached for the lamp on the bed-table and she struggled for it... turning it on.

Her entire nakedly exposed body trembled fearfully as she watched the giant black and tan monster as he stood at the foot of the bed, massively dominating the entire room! His rounded eyes were like two glowing ovals of burning fire in his huge head, his vicious mouth partially open to display the gleaming white fangs there! Mother of God! Not again! Please not again. Jessica tried to scream, as the great beast leap agily onto the bed, then lick at his lips as he inspected his next meal, she thought, watching him raise his monstrous head high, then... move forward toward her! His powerful jaws were just above her throat!
