[Hyenadog]

Hitsugi shifted on the bed, rolling onto his side as his belly finally stopped growing. He looked to be overdue, shirt pushed up by the large mound that was his gravid belly. Stretch marks spread over the expanse of his pale skin, framing his inverted belly button. He rubbed the tight skin, looking uncomfortable while his tail twitched and arched behind him.

He looked up at Alex, about to reach for his hand and thank him when he heard the noise outside. His head turned towards it, but he made no move to get up, simply watching nervously as Alex went to check. He could tell just by the other's expression what he had seen... "its the creature, right?" He whispered, looking fearful.

Out in the daylight, the beast looked like a cross between a feathered raptor and a wolf, bearing two long curved horns upon its head like a goat. Pale red eyes watched the cabin, seeing one of his mates in the window...he looked to the deer, then to Alex, motioning to the deer with his snout. He needed his mates to eat and stay strong, so he would provide for them. His curse would create a bubble around the area, a presence that would make other travelers forget the cave and cabin ever existed. Nobody would come for them.
