The Hunter and the Hunted

With the swipe of his paw, Kate felt the warm sensation of blood flow down her cheek. The sudden pain made her wince, and she felt her heart began to race for the fight of her life. This black guard dog, the Labrador, went

after her with extreme prejudice. In a split decision, she weighed all her options. Stay and fight? She would surely get killed. Talking it out was out of the question as the hound seemed hellbent on destroying her very

existence. Come to a compromise? Kate took one look into the hound's eyes and saw an unbent fury like the gates of hell themselves. There'd be no compromise for this hound. He wanted fox blood and would stop and

nothing to get it. So with the ever so weakening legs, she decided to turn around and sprint away from the hound into the protection of the forest.

"Don't you run away from me!" The hound screamed and chased after her, his powerful leg muscles bursting with felt her muscles ache with a throbbing pain, she hadn't expected to be out this long. All she longed for now

was sleep on her soft comfy loft in her den. The den would have to wait for now as she desperately bolted away from her attacker. The rustle of leaves and the crunching of sticks on the dirt beneath her paws were the

sounds she heard as she went further and further into the darkness of the woods. Ever other second, she could hear the sound of her own hard, rustled breathing and the grunts of the hound behind her.

Darn! Why'd it have to be her of all foxes? All she wanted was a nice, plump rabbit to eat and here comes this psychotic hound chasing after her from the gates of hell. All she wanted was to go home, rest, relax, and eat.

What a minute? That's it! Eat! Kate sprinted for a few more seconds in a straight line, and then suddenly bolted right into the woods, perfectly concealed in the trees. The hound was now in her territory. The odds were in

her favor. Kate relaxed her breathing and soon found herself waiting patiently. After a few seconds, she found herself staring at the black hound out the corner of her eye looking around frantically. His fur was dirty, veins

popping out of his muscles, and she could see the sweat pour down his body. He looked very appetizing, so tender, and succulent. Just like a vast, plump, juicy rabbit. Fresh Meat.

"Where'd the hell did you go?" The hound screamed in the darkness, "I'll make you pay for what you did!" Kate admired his tenacity, but tonight she decided he'd be the one on the menu. It would be a tight fit to get him

in her maw but she'd manage. She saw that the hound pointed his nose towards the air, and started to sniff. Shit, she'd had better make this quick before he found her scent. She shrouded herself in the darkness, slowing

her breathing till it was just a whisper, and started to sneak behind him. She planted her paws carefully on the ground. One misstep, one sound, one small grunt; and kate would have her blood spilled on the dirt below her.

She could feel her own anxiety, uneasiness, start to creep upon her like a plague as she got closer to the hound. It was a sense of dread that was slowly devouring her from the inside. This was it, her own heart started to

beat at a rapid pace, but then it hit her. She was right behind him. She could practically smell his scent. Like a slow roasted chicken over an Oakwood fire topped with the freshest of spices from around the world, marinated

for days in the finest juices, and finally right there cooked and ready to be devoured. Could she do it, would she do it. Growl! That was all Kate need to hear. She opened her mouth as wide as it could go, and bit down on his

rear. She felt his taste, tender, juicy, and meat so tender that it could fall straight off the bone itself.

"What the.." The hound said, but before he could struggle, Kate already had up to his upper torso inside her mouth. Her tongue ran all over his body like crazy, tasting every crevice of the rough, beefy, hound body. It was so sweet and tender, while his sweat made him ever so salty. She couldn't take it, she needed more!

"Stop eating me, you psycho!" Said the hound, as he thrashed inside of her mouth.

Keep struggling! Kate thought, The more they struggle the tastier they are. Oh man, I can't take it anymore! Kate swallowed again and only the hound's mouth was left.

"You monster!", screamed the hound with his last moments of the outside world, "I'll make you pay, I'll make you-"Kate finally had enough and swallowed the poor hound. She could feel her neck expand , her throat

reaching maximum capacity, and then felt her stomach bulge out to make room for her large meal.

"Oh man!" Kate said as she fell onto her back, "He was way too big". Kate only looked forward and saw her own stomach enlarge. She looked like she swallowed a beach ball. Her stomach started to ache, and she put a paw

to it and rubbed it gently.

"My poor tummy." Kate whispered dejectedly. She looked on and thought about the hound, how the hunter now became the hunted, He deserved it, she thought. Inside her stomach, kate could feel light thrashes on the

inside, and his muffled whining.

"Rabbi, I'm sorry man! I'm so sorry." Said the hound inside her stomach. Tiny tears seemed to roll down his face, as he slowly looked around him. It was hot, humid, and smelled sour like bile. He tried to put up a fight, but

the more he struggled the tighter he seemed to get. Like her own stomach was compressing him, crushing him.

"Ow. Stop struggling." Kate said as she rubbed her stomach, "You'll end up giving me indigestion." The hound only struggled a bit more, and soon stopped.

"He must have suffocated. Oh well" Kate said without a care in the world. Finally, her troubles were over. She laid back, enjoying the night sky, staring at the bright shining stars above her. It was all over. She gently rocked

her head back and forth on the soft grass below her; belly full of a good meal, slowly digesting, and calmly drifted off to sleep.
