Along the streets, neighborhoods welcomed in the presence of ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, mythological monsters, skeletons, scarecrows, mummies, carved pumpkins, fake machetes and axes, dollar store fake blood and scary masks; novice costumes that were made either by over-qualified hands, or complemented by pricey make up—and all in all, all the Anthro kids seemed to be enjoying themselves. All except for Leo.\n\nThe season of harvest, flannel shirts, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, carnivals, and mostly safe and not-at-all scary activities was always overrun by the spooky, orange-and-black ambiance Halloween season brought. The young Skunk knew better than to fight it off, preferring to stay home with all the doors locked in the comfort of his room instead of taking part in the candy-hunting ritual his friends loved so much… but of course, that never happened. Every year, he planted his feet, adamantly stating he would not be dragged out into the streets to go trick-or-treating—yet, every year, his friends brought in the figurative shovels to uproot him and convince him it wouldn't be so bad. And the faint-hearted mephitid fell for it every time. \nGranted, this year was a little different. First because they realized they would eventually get too old to go knocking on spookily-adorned doors for candy, and second, because it was Kauan's first time actually trick-or-treating, and Aidan and Liam wanted to make it special for the Maned Wolf.\n\nThe group walked slowly by the long stretch of road leading toward East Pines Middle School, where the residential areas usually buzzed with life as the sun died out—though, in reality, it was also where the best loot was located, second only to the more expensive neighborhoods. However, none of the cubs wanted to risk being intercepted by Rajah; the Tiger and his posse were known for literally stealing candy in order to ask favors from the middle school kids who either weren't allowed to celebrate Halloween, or couldn't eat sweets because of their uptight parents—and the feline was far too good of a bargainer when it came to the sugary currency.\nAs they neared the playground stationed in the middle of the state park, Chase was the first one to run ahead and jump on one of the swings, which creaked sharply, causing the other boys to cringe a little, though the small canine didn't even seem to notice—all he cared for it that moment was to make his black cape billow in the breeze.\n\n“Okay, so what's the plan?” the Coyote asked while kicking his legs back and forward, making him swing low. The fake vampire dentures in his mouth made him drool a little, which prompted him to wipe his lips off with the back of his hand.\n\n“Well,” Liam started and paced to the canine, holding the chain on Chase's right hand and making him halt with a tilted shake. “First we go by Serventine, and down to Acacia street—gotta get the ice pops from Mrs. Brims as soon as possible so they don't melt.” The roly poly Husky explained, stretching his right arm out so his limited edition blue Battlefield Galaxy's Sun Sword™ wouldn't be hit by the wiggling yote.\n\n“W-what about those Gummy Hammer Heads candies you guys talked about before?” Kauan piped up, kneading his hands as the dollar store mummy wrappings around his bare chest felt too loose and ready to drop at any moment. The cool breeze stroked his fur, sending a shiver up his spine as the coarse, tan cloth linings brushed against his 1nipples—the leggy was doing his best not to look disconcerted by it, but his brown mane stood up instinctively. “S-Sorry, I just really wanted to see them,” he added, then gasped lightly when Aidan pulled the bundle on his back, tightening them again.\n\n“Oh! We can get those anywhere, lotsa people give them out,” Chase replied, making the leggy's expression brighten up a bit, then tried to escape Liam's firm grasp—though that only made him look like a spoiled cub throwing a tantrum in the mall. “But we gotta drop by the Piers right after we go to Kösed Circle, that's where the exotic stuff is.” He strained as he spoke, and so did Liam trying to fight him back stubbornly.\n\n“Exotic?” the tubby Husky asked. “Since when do you like licorice and those almond white bricks?” Liam violently shook the chain in his hand, making Chase visibly dizzy.\n\n“I don't!” exclaimed Chase as he huffed in defeat, the rattling of the swing chain finally ceasing as both canines panted a little from their opposite efforts. “But it's either the Piers for the big haul, or we can risk going to Waterpointe and get turned around because all the houses have parties and everyone is too drunk to actually give out candy,” he whined and took in a sharp breath, leaning on the brown-and-white furred canine.\n\nLiam huffed too and leaned into the yote, the soft fabric of his beige sci-fi robes brushing against the canine's back. “Well,” he sighed and looked at the rest of the group, “when you put it like that—yeah we can go to the Piers.” He relented, only to receive a yipping giggle from Aidan.\n \n“Yes! Yes! Yes!” The Fox exclaimed with a small cheer, bringing both white fists down. “Don’t forget we need to stop by the Harruns on the way back,” the kit interjected as he walked around the taller Maned Wolf, pulling the zipper of his blue dragon onesie up and down, revealing a bit of his white chest fur and neck each time. “I love that they always give us the large chocolate bars, but those melt really easily,” the Arctic Fox added, shifting his weight a little as the dew-laded grass made his feet uncomfortably damp.\n\nChase scoffed and hopped off the swing, almost taking the copper-furred Husky with him. “Ah-ah! They give Leo the large chocolate bars, he's just too good to actually eat them all alone.” Chase pulled at the red collar of his cape and dusted off his white button up—even though they were both a little creased already.\n\nThe Skunk perked up at the mention of his name with a squeak, his once downcast green eyes peering around the white-furred Fox and the leggy to look at the “Dracoyte”—as Chase had taken to call his costume— and gulped. Walking forward a bit, and resting his chin on Kauan's left brown shoulder, Leo's expression already looked terrified, though it was hard to tell underneath the layers of white make up that made him resemble a skeleton—the mephitid cleverly using the white stripes of his fur to guide them along naturally.\n\n“W-what about m-me?” he asked nervously, trying to hide himself behind the Maned Wolf, who simply reached a hand behind his back to scritch at his tummy. The leggy's claws tickled him through the fabric of the black graphic t-shirt he had borrowed from Liam—it was at least a size larger, but also had the skeletal print of a chest cavity that complemented his costume.\n\n“They only give the big bars when you ask them!” Chase whined and ran his beige hands through his gel-slick, black-dyed hair, making sure it was pulled back neatly like a vampire's. “They must think you're cute or something with those braces on,” he added, then yelped as Liam smacked the back of his head.\n\n“T-that'sh not true!” the black and white cub exclaimed, his lisp showing a bit as he spoke. “We all get good haulsh! I-it's jusht.. Ugh… I-I ashk them politely,” he tried to explain without blushing.\n\n“Nah dude, it's because you nearly faint every time an adult with a costume on opens up the door.” Liam narrowed his eyes down at Chase, and the yote simply stuck his tongue out in response. “They feel bad and give you the most stuff,” he added matter-of-factly.\n\nLeo sighed and deflated a bit, looking to the side as Aidan gently tugged at his arm to move him away from Kauan. “You guysh know I don't like halloween…” he trailed off and closed his eyes, feeling the small Arctic Fox drag his fingers gently to touch up the make up—it had been Chase's idea to draw small brackets over the teeth around Leo's lips to imitate his braces. “Thanksh, Addy,” he mumbled.\n\n“Hey,” the vulpine started softly, poking and prodding around Leo's face with his already white fingers, “it's alright, I don't like spooky stuff either.” His blue eyes seemed to glint when they made contact with Leo's green ones. “But c'mon, dude, it's Kauan's first halloween!” he whispered, his bushy tail—which was strapped to the blue stuffed appendage of his onesie—wagging behind him.\n\nThey both glanced over at the leggy, who smiled awkwardly while fidgeting with the tattered denim shorts that Chase had landed him; it was a little tight on him, making his perky butt stand out a little, and it had been cut much shorter than before in order for the wrapping to go around the Maned Wolf's skinny thighes—though what they didn't know is that it was naturally worn from years of use.\n\n“Yeah, dude! And I promise to give all my Berry Rolls—specially the strawberry ones,” Liam offered, his left blue eye and right amber eye looking extra full of life.\n\nThe twelve year-old sighed and pursed his lips, then nodded reluctantly. “Okay…” he sighed then turned to the rest, taking in how all the canines seemed to perk up a little at his words. “I can help getting the good lootch—but we're not going by Ionigh Shprings. That place shcares the crap out of me.”\n\nThe tail end of his phrase could barely be heard as the other boys cheered and ran to pile on him, making them all laugh loudly, though Liam was the first one to complain about their costumes getting ruined by the wet grass—and seeing some of those were actually expensive, they didn't think twice before moving on. They jumped up and exited the park much quicker than they had arrived, knowing that lingering behind much longer could cost their great candy hauls to be taken by their competitors. Holding their plastic and paper bags, pumpkin pails, and unfurling pillow cases, the boys began their hunt for the sweets and small trinkets that adults and older teenagers—the ones that weren't out partying anyway—distributed from their porches. \n\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nThe northwest area of Vinedeere was where the most well-equipped and decorated houses stayed, and that was by a long shot. String lights came to life as the sun lingered in the sky for just long enough, its rays being eclipsed by the horizon as the night approached, and making the streets become illuminated under the purple, red, and orange hues that only made the fake web with giant plastic spiders stand out. Some iconic horror movie songs from the 80s coming from speakers on a few houses filled the air and mingled with the laughter and small squeals and screams that each kid let out at the jumping ghouls and rubber snakes set on the front yards.\nA white van with “Free Candy” written on the side was parked on the side of Trach Lane; the rusty-looking front bumpers, left burnt headlight, and the hand prints on the back of the vehicle—small enough to resemble cub ones—completely disconcerted both Leo and Kauan, but at the reveal it was just a small joke made by one of the residents, the leggy disarmed almost immediately. However, Leo seemed paler than before.\n\nFake blood splattered on the walls and doors of the houses made most of them queasy, and Chase was always the one to press the doorbell—even if the Coyote was visibly shaken—only so they could push Leo to the front, with his little black and white furred legs trembling as his puffed up tail tucked in between them, making him look scared heckless. And their plan worked every time—though the seventh-grader knew it was just the beginning.\n\nWith each house they hit and scratched off their route, the more his begs grew heavier with the different assortments of treats they could get their hands on. And with each stop, Leo came close to an actual fainting episode. The always jumpy Skunk could barely handle people sneaking up on him without having a mini-heart attack, so when the Headless Horsemen, Medusas, witches, gargoyles, zombies, monsters of all sizes and shapes, and a four-eyed werewolf opened their respective doors—though the latter seemed much more realistic than the other, as Liam pointed out while blatantly staring at the Anthro's pecs—the mephitid needed a good five minutes to breathe in before they could move on to the next scary-looking house. \n\nIn between their excursions to uncover new spots with big loot, trying to sneak into some halloween parties, and being chased by the clown-masked teens mounted in bicycles, the group was becoming more excited for the bigger loot the Piers had to offer—though Leo only grew increasingly more uneasy with each scare. However, in the end, it was worth it. The trips back to Liam's place became each time more frequent—the Eirikr's residency being strategically located in their long route—and each time their personal stashes would grow as they emptied their containers, only so an hour later they could do it again, and then again. \nBefore they realized, some sweat had even formed on their brows from the exercise they got in while trick-or-treating. Though Leo was already sweating buckets—his make up getting smudgy and blurry in a few places—he couldn't help but laugh a little. Although his chest ached a little and his trembled with his fast beating heart, Leo found a sliver of giddiness building up in him seeing each one of his friends boasting about their loot and giggling at the collective scares they had gone through—also secretly loving having so many strawberry Berry Rolls that he could take every day for lunch for at least a few months. \n\nThe night came and went quicker than they wished. However, it was a lucky friday, and none of the boys were actually worried about getting home any time if not just before curfew—especially since the best part of the night was to come.\n\nWaterpointe was arguably the nicest gated neighborhood in Vinedeere: it was the type of place that every house came with a piano in the foyer, a large aquarium with too many species of coral and exotic fish, an olympic-size pool, or cars in the driveways that were likely more expensive than any of the boys's houses, maybe even put together. Then there were the Piers.\nThe Piers were a glorified name for the public docks down past Near Forum, where most of the more modest houses were locaterd—the place being very familiar not only to Chase and Kauan, but also to Liam since the small canine had family close by there. While the backyards of Waterpointe boasted impeccably clean, well maintained private docking bays, the multiple decks by the Piers were much simpler and used. And yet, the place was as lively as the boys imagined it would be. \n\nThey walked past the public park and down the hill to see New Forum residents had set up their own Halloween party. Some had pitched in to buy decorations, and others brought in foldable tables from where they served pop corn, very cheap yet reliable hot dogs, some sugary refreshments, and, of course, small paper bags with candy. There, the boys could recharge their energy and have some food while playing around with the other local kids—with the small sound system and lights set at the center of one of the cleaned out pic-nic areas serving as a makeshift stage where all Anthros could party a little.\nUnintentionally, all eyes had veered to Leo; as soon as the Skunk got under the black lights, others awed as only the sharp contrast of the whites on his fur stood out and glowed in the dark—the perfect skeleton format as they laughed and hyped each other up with a few iconic dance moves—Aidan and Liam needing some encouragement before Chase and Kauan forcibly carried them in.\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nThe high full moon shone down at them as they lunged around on the benches near the lake—the lingering musky smell of boat gasoline and wet grass perfuming the sharp cool breeze with a blend of made and natural scents. To say the boys were spent was an understatement; Chase had already lost his cape along their route, making Liam reluctantly land his robe so the yote and the half-clothed leggy could bundle themselves together for some warmth, all while Aidan slumped back against Leo—his bare white-furred upper body cooling in the wind while the sleeves of his dragon onesie were tied around his waist. The black and white furred mephitid scooted down a bit, letting the vulpine lean his head on his left shoulder, and twirled a lollipop in his mouth before speaking.\n\n“Well,” he started and pulled the candy out with an audible pop, “I'm glad thish ish over.” He licked his lips, feeling the sweet taste of raspberry rather than the bitterness of the make up.\n\n“C'mon is wasn't [i]that[/i] bad,” Liam teased with a small grin, fanning himself. “'Ya only fainted—what? Two times?”\n\nLeo glared at the heterochromatic Husky, then rolled his eyes. “You guysh are cowardsh,” he mumbled and pursed his lips. “I make all the heavy lifting and you guysh get the candy.”\n\nKauan's brown ears perked up at the Skunk's tone, and he shuffled beside Chase to peer around Aidan. “I-I think it was very kind of you,” the leggy spoke softly, if a little hesitant, his hazel eyes glinting a little as Leo's green ones met them. “I had a lot of fun—a-and I never got this many candies before, heh. Thank you, Leo” He smiled sheepishly and nodded, his accent thick as shuddered in the cold.\n\nThe Skunk chuckled through his black nose and shrugged. “You're welcome, dude. And you alsho pisshed yourshelf with that spider-lady, Liam.” He grinned when the Husky averted his eyes, pink crossing his white muzzle.\n\n“Shut up,” he muttered, making the boys laugh. Though it didn't last long.\n\nA strong breeze rushed against them, making the water on the lake ripple and shift. The few scattered clouds in the night sky covered the moon like a blanket, muddling its glow and causing the ground to be engulfed in darkness. Heart beats skipped and ears perked up high at the silence—all the festivities had stopped and the equipment had been taken back by their owners, leaving the boys only in each others’ company. A collective shiver ran up their spines when footsteps rounded up the dock's pathway, and Chase and Kauan looked around to try and spot something, only to find a single red dot hovering in the blackness of the park. They yelped when it slowly approached the group, though the others were more focused on another matter.\n\nAidan, Liam, and Leo watched with bated breaths as something heavy hit the surface of the murky lake, making water splash close to their feet, followed by the sound of knocking on the pillars that supported the cover above them. They panicked when all three footsteps seemed to enclose them—coming from the water, and their sides—leaving not a single escape route they could take. Leo's stomach churned, feeling his heart in his throat and every single hair in his body standing up, there was something—no, multiple things coming at them in the darkness. His head moved in all directions, eyes wide as to spot a single tangible explanation for what was going on, and then he heard it.\n\nWet, sticky flapping noises came from their front, making all the boys fix their gazes in its direction as it approached. A gurgling, labored breath cut through the air as the blurry moonlight revealed something green and tall, and the way it shambled in made all the middle schoolers shiver—and in their fear and terror, they had failed to see the red and black colors in the darkness. It lunged with a strangled gurgly hiss, revealing itself.\nBefore the boys was a dagon-like creature: green scales and yellow throbbing eyes reflecting the weird, viscous liquid on its face. Webbed hands ending in long black rubbery claws swiped across the air, flinging more water on their faces as they screamed in unison.\n\nLeo and Chase scrambled to flee, tumbling on Aidan and Liam as Kauan seemed to paralyze in the middle of the bench. The canines and mephitid fell to the ground, writhing as hands grappled their arms and shoulders, pulling them up, the yote trying to fight with kicks and punches that hit nothing but air. Leo could barely lift off the ground as he tried to crawl away, letting a strangled squeal when something grabbed his plump ass, and then his tail, pulling him back into the mix of screams and boyish yelps. He looked back, only to see the huge red light blinking on his face, and he yelped.\n\nWith scrunched up eyes, the Skunk cried out when he was forcefully pulled up to his feet, shivering as the pair of hands felt his chest and small belly. With his whole body trembling, it took him a long minute before laughter filled up his ears—coming from both his attacker, and also his friends. He peeked one eye open, his hands tugging at the bigger one holding his shoulder, to see the moonlight coming back fully to brighten up his surroundings. Chase was pushing someone back, laughing awkwardly as a Bear ruffled his hair and called him “scaredy cat”, and his eyes gazed to his right to see Aidan and Liam holding onto each other as Kauan was marveling over the giant lake-creature—his brown hands reaching up to touch at the rubber mask around the bigger Anthro.\n\n“Smile, McCoy!” A cheerful voice came from behind him, breathing against his white hair and making his ears twitch. \n\nIn confusion, Leo looked around to see the red blinking light, and then focused his eyes to see the gray-colored camera pointed at him. He followed the brown hand holding it, taking in the familiar orange-colored sleeve of a worn out hoodie he used to see much more often last year. And growled a bit in frustration. \n\n“Redmond!” he exclaimed and fought the grasp on his shoulder. He turned around with wet eyes to see a grinning Sable, only two years older than him. “W-why?!” he whimpered a bit, his tail tucked in between his legs as he crossed his arms in comfort.\n\nOliver let out a small scoff. “Hey, I did this to all of you guys! It wasn't personal.” He pointed a clawed finger at the Skunk then looked at the screen of the old video camera—the digital image showing Leo's white face as he zoomed in on it, making him squeak. “Though your face was the best one by far,” he cackled a bit as Leo huffed.\n\n“So sorry Leo,” a muffled voice came from his left, and he peered to see the lake monster taking his mask off. A mess of light brown hair puffed out and covered Ronan's face as he shook his head, hiding his eyes, but Leo could still tell he was looking straight at him. “‘Ya know how Ollie gets when he has an idea.” The tall Raccoon moved his hands down, letting Kauan investigate the mask and the fake webbed claws.\n\n“Aaand you guys were a bit too exposed,” Nicolas laughed as he pushed back against Chase, only to have the small yote almost pile on him. \n\n“It's not fair!” Aidan cried out, making all of the boys look at him and Liam holding each other. The Arctic Fox yipped and and took a step to the side, his white face blushing lightly. “W-we weren't prepared for it.” He explained and received a reassuring pat on the shoulder from Ronan.\n\nOliver shook his head and closed the camera, turning it off in the process. “Of course not. That's what makes it funnier,” he said and walked up to Leo, wrapping an arm around him. “And you guys fell for it so hard,” he added with a small cackle that made Leo's black and white ears perk up uncomfortably.\n\nLiam sighed deeply and rubbed a palm to his face, cleaning up some of the sweat that had formed. “Well, I'll admit it was good,” he chuckled softly and paced to dap up Ronan and then Nicolas. “I thought you guys would be trick-or-treating?” the Husky asked, and the boys noticed as the high schoolers averted their eyes.\n\n“Yeah…” Nicolas started, ruffling a hand through his discolored hair—the unnatural blonde blending with the black weirdly. “We were going to, b-but turns out the sophomores and juniors will make fun of you if ya do.” He explained awkwardly.\n\n“Oh…” Chase said as he hung onto the brown ursine's shoulders. “So, what are you guys doing here?”\n\nThe smile that curled on Oliver's face made all the middle schoolers uneasy, and when Ronan sighed exasperatedly, they knew it was bad. The Sable turned Leo and walked with him to the middle of the circle that had slowly formed around the bench, then fished inside his hoodie pocket for his cellphone.\n\n“Well,” he started, looking down at the screen as he swiped and tapped a few times. “Turns out that there's been a legend going around Vinedeere—one I wanna see if it's true or not,” he added cockily, then showed his cellphone to the rest.\n\nOn the bright lighted device, the cubs observed a discussion forum in the search app Leo used—a rose and the full moon were centered in an image, and Liam's amber and blue eyes widened at that.\n\nThe Husky gasped lightly, shooting his hands to hold the device as his curly tail wagged. “I've read about this!” he exclaimed and then looked at the rest of the group, seeing Nicolas smirk and Ronan's worried face as the Raccoon handed the mask and claws to Kauan. “It's the legend of the Wereyeen,” he said matter-of-factly, though all the middle schoolers were visibly confused.\n\n“What's a ‘whereiyn’?” Kauan asked softly, his voice muffled behind the rubber mask as he put it on, making both Aidan and Leo shudder.\n\n“The 'Wereyeen’,” Liam corrected gently, “is a local legend here in Vinedeere,” he nodded with a small smile, but it faltered as Chase cocked an eyebrow and Aidan and Leo stared at each other. “Really? You guys never heard of it?!” he exclaimed and scoffed. “Parents used to tell us as kids to scare us off.”\n\n“I'm from New Metzli, dude. We have the ‘Goat devourer’ there and that's it.” Chase chuckled a bit.\n\n“I-I don't know either.” Aidan said sheepishly and cast his blue eyes down to his feet.”\n\nLiam glanced at Oliver, who made a small [i]“Well?”[/i] gesture with his hand, and the pudgy canine felt small under all the staring eyes. “W-well… Okay, I can tell.” He relented and handed the cellphone back.\n\nAll the cubs seemed to take a step in to listen to the Husky, though Leo was mostly clutching at Oliver's hand and arm. Liam cleared his throat and muttered a bit while looking up at the moon, as if retelling the story to himself before nodding and looking back down.\n\n“The legend of the Wereyeen came about a few years ago—before the internet was a common thing. It was speculated that it is a vacant spirit of a Hyena that died in the streets of Vinedeere back in the 90s—supposedly he was a beggar or a homeless guy, or something.” He crossed his arms, taking in everybody's faces and the wind howling around them.\n\nLeo's breath was already heavy as he heard about a death, but what came next made the Skunk's blood rush all over his body in a hot surge of fear.\n\n“He was found in one of the corners by Ramör street—his eyes bleeding, mouth with the remains of foam or spit, and his body was all contorted—on the morning after Halloween. The theory is that he asked some teens for food, and they gave him candy. He was happy—elated that someone was kind enough. But after some investigating, the candy could've been poisoned… and purposefully given to him in specific.” The last phrase was a little hard for Liam to say, and it made his ears lay down in a resemblance of sadness. “Everyone thought that having a homeless dude around the kids—especially during Halloween—was creepy… so those teens kinda took into their hands to get rid of the guy.”\n\n“T-that's cruel…” Aidan perked quietly, and received a harsh nod from Chase.\n\n“Yeah, dude! Who woulda done that?” he blurted out.\n\n“Go figure,” was Liam's reply as he shrugged and shook his head. “Point is, he was fed the candy on Halloween night… on a friday… ” He looked up to look at Oliver who nodded and raised both eyebrows up. “...You wanna summon that thing?!” Liam almost yelled and took a step back, his hands shooting to his chest protectively.\n\nAll the middle schoolers immediately looked at the freshmen: Nicolas chuckled, and Ronan huffed, but Oliver snapped a finger and pointed at the Husky with a smile. “Bingo! You got it,” he said more cheerfully than Leo or the others would've wanted. “I'm getting [i]footage[/i] of him actually. To prove if it's real or not.”\n\n“D-dude, ‘course it's not real!” Liam said with more fear than he wanted to show. “It's just a dumb legend! Besides, how are you going to find a rose at this time?”\n\n“Rose?” Chase asked, looking back at the canine.\n\n“Yeah… the summoning ritual is that one needs to hold a rose under the moonlight—in the cemetery the beggar was buried. They say that's when the spirit comes and possesses a freshly buried corpse—and like, turns into the Wereyeen—i-it's stupid.”\n\n“I don't know, Eirikr, ‘ya sounding more terrified than positive there.” Nicolas poked at the Husky's chubby belly, making him jump a little.\n\n“N-no, I'm not! It's just dumb, and you can't get all the stuff anyway.” Liam pointed a finger at the smiling Sable.\n\nOliver made a little incorrect noise, and shook his head. “That's where you're wrong.” The lanky mustelid moved a little, placing his hands on the sides of Leo's shoulders, then stood on the tip of his toes to peer over the slightly shorter Anthro. “We got our rose right here!”\n\nLeo's green eyes widened and he yelped, running to Liam and then facing Oliver. “A-ain't no way I'm shtealing from my mom'sh shop for that!”\n\nThe McCoys were known for being great landscapers and gardeners, and the flower shop Leo's mom owned at the heart of Vinedeered was recognized for the beautiful arrangements, bouquets, and the high quality of the flowers they grew locally. During summer, Leo even got to work there or landscaping with his dad, making the Skunk known for his kind and gentle manner.\n\n“You're not stealing it,” Oliver started matter-of-factly, “if the legend isn't true—as Liam is saying since he's too scared of it.” His words made the Husky growl at him. “Then you can just return it and it won't make a difference.” He added persuasively. “Or was Rajah right to call you ‘wuss’ all this time?”\n\n“I-I…” Leo's words trailed off as he looked around. \n\nAidan looked just as scared as Kauan, Liam looked mad and ready to tackle Oliver, and Chase's eyes seemed to burn with a mix of excitement and justice. He shook his head again, the mustelid's words regarding their bully making his chest constrict painfully, a weird pang of anger burning in his ears as they flickered—the word bouncing around his head over and over.\n\nHe took a deep breath in, and looked at the Sable. “I-I… I'm not a wuss…” he mumbled, his white lips twitching a bit. “I'll do it.”\n\nHis words made both Aidan and Liam look at him, and the vulpine approached him. “Leo, you don't need to do it…”\n\n“I do, Addy.” He shrugged and looked at the Fox. “I'm… I-I'm done being scared, dude… I-I-I wanna prove to myself I'm not…” he said with more courage than he thought he had. And Aidan nodded.\n\nThere was a shift in the gravity as Nicolas glanced at Chase, whose tri-colored tail wagged furiously, and then at Oliver, who let out a harsh laugh. The Sable walked up to the Skunk and held his shoulder tightly, though it was more in reassurance than anything else. Meanwhile, Ronan sighed again—and if one could see his eyes, they would be rolling in their sockets.\n\n“...W-what are we doing?” Kauan said in confusion, looking at all of them.\n\n“Wereyeen hunting!” Chase exclaimed excitedly and held the leggy's and Leo's hands, pulling them along as the rest followed suit.\n\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nThe air of the Furlor cemetery was colder than the cubs and teens had thought it would be. The tall trees surrounding the dirt trail leading there were not far from macabre and creepy—with its dry leaves and branches looking like arms ready to nab at them. Their detour to the McCoys’s shop wasn't too bad, and by the time Leo used the spare key to grab a single red rose, and then make their way there, the moon shone brightly in the night sky—without a single cloud in sight. The perfect storm for Oliver's plan.\n\nThe tall, rusty gates had been locked with a loose chain and lock, which stopped no one but Liam and Ronan—both the chubby Husky and fat Raccoon far too plump to actually go through. Even Nicolas had a hard time fitting in—his fat Bear ass getting caught in the thin gap before he slipped through.\nWith two members stuck outside the somber graveyard, the group pushed forward, Oliver leading the pack while recording some footage to prove they had indeed been there, while the middle schoolers were sandwiched in the middle—Nicolas taking the rear and looking around skeptically.\n\n“D-does the l-legend s-shay where he wash b-buried?” Leo asked, his heart beating quickly in his chest as he glanced at the Sable.\n\n“No… You just need to hold the rose under the moonlight.” Oliver explained and halted. “There!” he said and pointed to a line of graves, one of which was flat enough for him to position his camera on. “C'mon, that's the perfect spot.”\n\nThe group moved silently as the gravel path crunched noisily underfoot, and then knelt down behind the headstones—Aidan and Kauan sharing a single while the rest of the boys took one each. Oliver placed his camera on the flat grave and checked to see if it was recording again before ducking out of sight—leaving only Leo exposed.\n\n“Okay,” the Sable whispered. “You just gotta stand there and give it a few minutes.”\n\nLeo exhaled sharply. “N-no, like, chant or c-creepy shummoning poem?” he asked skeptically, eyes shifting from the open grass and back to the Sable.\n\n“Nah—not that I know.” Oliver could tell the Skunk's reluctance as he trembled in place, and sighed softly. “Listen, ‘ya don't need to do this—”\n\n“N-no!” Leo squeaked, cutting him off. “I-I… n-not shcared…” His lips trembled, but his eyes were fixed forward.\n\nOliver's worried expression lifted off and he chuckled, then raised a fist up. “Respect.” \n\nHis words reached Leo's ears with a sound of encouragement and praise, making the Skunk disarm a little as he looked into the mustelid's brown eyes. He nodded firmly, and bumped his fist with Oliver's, taking a quick glance toward his friends before walking to the center of the graveyard. A mausoleum stood close by the bottom of the hill he was, and Leo waited—sweat running down the sides of his face as his whole body trembled in fear.\nSome noises crept up around him, making him flinch and look around, but nothing was there. If anything, the only sound he could hear was his little heart beating loudly in his ears—but then there was something else. A presence.\n\nThe quiet whispers behind the gravestones slowly ceased as something began moving at the top of the hill, and then coming into view of not only the cubs, but also of the camera filming. Aidan, Kauan, Chase, and Nicolas's eyes widened as they took in the silhouette under the moonlight—the dark, ominous, evil presence moving with heavy steps just a few feet ahead of the little mephitid. His fur was pale, devoid of life, but his towering size and angry expression made the black sky seem far too bright. Teeth and eyes red with fury and malice, and his black claws sharper than any blade an Anthro could make. He let out a small set of hyenid whoops before a blood-curling snarl deafened everyone present—the sound seemingly distorting and weaving the moonlight around him into a viscous, tar-like cloak that covered his bare form.\n\n“W-w-w-w—” Aidan stuttered as all the cubs shivered in fear.\n\n“Wereyeen!” Chase screamed loudly, bucking his feet as he tripped on himself.\n\nThe sudden sound and movement made the creature growl powerfully, and he began descending the hill with speed no one had seen before. Aidan and Kauan joined the screaming cacophony as they stood up and bolted back the path they came from, the mummy wrappings around the leggy's body unraveling and flying in the wind as they ran back to the gates—fear blinding judgement as Chase stumbled to keep up with them.\n\n“F-fuck!” Nicolas exclaimed as his eyes shifted between the paralyzed mephitid and the approaching Wereyeen. “Oliver! It—it's real!” he yelled, making the Sable flinch and nod—his jaw half open and eyes wide. “I-I… fuck this.” The Bear turned to run, but glanced back to see the hyenid far too close from Leo, and cursed at himself for this.\n\nLeo could feel his whole body paralyze at the creature darting toward him, his feet seemingly glued to the ground as they twitched but didn't budge. He yelped out sharply, and his world became a whirl around him when the Wereyeen tackled him to the ground, shivering and writhing to come free. Heavy clawed hands held his wrists down, the red rose flying back and being lost on the grass under them. The beast snarled and breathed heavily on top of him—making him cry out unintelligently as warm drool touched his face—feeling his legs getting pinned down as the Wereyeen held them in between his own.\nThe little Skunk fought weakly as the beast closed in, his red eyes and teeth only a few inches away. He closed his eyes shut, impossibly frozen under the terrifying weight of the beast, but then felt something warm and wet against his white face.\n\nOliver watched quietly as the Wereyeen licked Leo's face hungrily—his long appendage lowering until it pressed against the Skunk's lips, making him gasp a little. A weird jolt went through Leo's terrified body as he hesitantly opened his eyes, his heart skipped a beat as he took notice of the flailing tongue against his mouth, and how close their faces were—seeing the Hyena's expression to be not one of hunger or anger, but of need. \nHe gulped, feeling something slowly grinding between his legs, warm and hard, and eliciting a soft moan to escape from his throat. The creature used that split second to slip his tongue inside Leo's lips, exploring it and hitting the coarse texture of the Skunk's braces—his teeth closed tightly shut but chattering. The taste of the Wereyeen's spit and his breath invaded Leo's mouth, causing a surge of panic that drove the seventh grader to try to slip free, but only found his body waning into submission as the rough sensations took over his instincts.\n\n“O-oh…” was Oliver's reaction as he felt his face warming up, his eyes trained on the bobbing tent between the Stripped Wereyeen's legs as the monster almost laid down on top of Leo. \n\nHis uncut member stirred under his loose blue basketball shorts and sent a small tickling feeling down his testicles and up his belly as the tip grazed against the cloth. He reached a hand down to give it a soft squeeze, letting out a strangled breath through his tightly closed lips as the half-hard member twitched to life, his heart hammering a little louder in his ears at the scene before him. With a flicker of his fluffy brown ears, Oliver glanced at the recording camera, and chuckled as an idea popped into his head.\nHe kneeled behind the device, and messed around with the settings and zoomed in a bit until the framing was focused on mostly the pair. The Sable took a deep, shaky breath in and stood up, then stood up and slowly walked to the two Anthros on the grass—his hand close to his chest, and eyes and ears alert in case he needed to defend himself from the towering, lust-driven being.\n\nThe mustelid made his way to Leo's side, and knelt down, his shaking hands hesitantly moving to the Wereyeen's crotch, grazing the wiggling tent. Both heard as the beast let out a low growl, but didn't move as Oliver undid the button and zipper, letting the massive pink rocket drip precum copiously on Leo's groin as it came free. The Skunk let out a muffled whimper as he stared at Oliver, and then at the Hyena's erection in between his stripped legs, his eyes widening at the engorged member rubbing against his own, leaving a silvery string of viscous liquid connecting them. A weird, exciting feeling coursed through him like electricity, and he moaned softly when the Wereyeen humped in between his legs, feeling the wetness of the huge, drippy member soak into his costume and seep to touch his fuzzy ballsack. \n\nLeo's lips trembled around the fleshy, slippery appendage in his mouth, feeling his own modest peen twitch and stir at the sensitive touch, and took a deep breath in. He closed his eyes, his shuddering body steadily settled as he steeled himself, and hesitantly loosed his jaw his tongue could timidly lick the one invading his mouth. The smaller fleshy appendage darted along the longer one stiffly, then once more, allowing the cub to taste the drool and spittle while they awkwardly made out.\nBefore he knew it, their tongues were wrestling each other, slowly falling into a rhythm the Skunk judged completely different from the previous roughness—and he appreciated it as their breaths mingled together.\n\nMeanwhile, Oliver worked the beast's cock with one hand—kneading the pink meat slowly, its thick knot easily bigger than his palm—while his other hand unclasped the tail loop to the back of the yeen’s jeans. The Sable hesitatingly stopped toying with the dick and moved his hands to pull the pants down, the Wereyeen moving his legs not only to allow the mustelid to do so, but also to untrap the Skunk below him—and received a small hump from his prey.\nOliver tossed the piece of clothing to the side, and stared at the plump, stripped ass in front of him. His face turned into a deep red as he kneaded his own cock before pulling it out, the cool air tickling the drippy tip as it glistened under the moonlight. He shuffled back a bit as the Wereyeen moved, lifting his heavy body up and disconnecting the kiss he was holding with Leo.\n\nThe creature moved his large hands down the Skunk's body and panted heavily, his chest expanding as the cub under him took a sharp breath. Leo’s green eyes were dazed as he looked up at the throbbing member above the pair of hefty balls, feeling his own dick twitch painfully against the elastic fabric of the costume—a single bead of pre leaking through to kiss the pink cock rubbing against it, and he bit down on his lower lip, flashing his orthodontic braces as he whined needily. Looking up at the monster, the young Anthro hesitated before nodding weakly, feeling the claws on his chest graze and play with his nipples under his shirt—and the beast growled possessively.\n\nWith a rough push, the Wereyeen flipped Leo on his belly,  making the cub yelp, and pulled his hips up so he was propped on his knees. The Hyena’s hands caressed down the Skunk’s back and stopped at the perky ass in front of him, and proceeded to squeeze the cheeks firmly as he let out a feral huff. A clawed thumb dragged down on the stretched fabric of Leo’s costume before it reached in between his asscheeks, and with a little bit of prodding, the Wereyeen tore through it, revealing the pink pucker to the cold air. \n\nLeo gasped, and looked back, tensing as his tailhole was touched and explored by the yeen. A shiver ran up his spine when the cold of the Wereyeen’s nose pressed and prodded in between his fuzzy asscheeks, making his squeak and look straight ahead again. A wet touch slipped between his crack and twirled around his most private place, making him clench his cheeks reflexively before he willed himself to relax.\n\nOliver huffed and moaned at the sight, his left hand absentmindedly touching the Wereyeen’s muscled butt as the beast rimmed the mephitid under him. His brown eyes trailed off to look at the Skunk, and he cleared his throat, shuffling away to kneel in front of Leo after giving the stripped rump another soft squeeze; the Sable pulled his shorts lower past his knees, allowing his tan cock and balls to bounce freely as he held the shaft in front of Leo, stroking it slowly.\n\nThe small Skunk flinched when a jet of pre fell on his white muzzle, and he looked up to see the Sable breathing slowly—the turgid, uncut dick teasing in front of him while his hole was explored by the same tongue that once kissed him. Leo whimpered and flinched as the wet appendage prodded past the resistance of his pink pucker, feeling it touch and slobber his insides. His eyes turned to the cock in front of him, and he gulped, letting his tongue reluctantly dart out to lick at the pink tip as he took in the musky taste the mustelid carried. His lips parted to take the covered tip in, and Oliver didn't waste time before he slowly pushed more of his member inside the Skunk's warm maw, shivering as Leo licked around it.\n\nThe beast growled again as he backed up, his long tongue smacking against his lips as he swallowed in the taste of the mephitid's ass. He mounted the Skunk boy under him, hot dogging his pink cock in between the black-furred globes before he slowly poked with his tapered tip, causing Leo's body to flinch and shiver. The black and white Anthro hummed and then whimpered as his slick hole was prodded open to take in the thick member, slowly inching inside with a small painful feeling.\n\nLeo yipped around Oliver’s cock as his body tried to process all the different stimuli coursing through it, and swallowed a hefty amount of salty pre that threatened to leak out his mouth. He breathed in deeply, taking in Oliver’s musky smell as he shuffled a little, the member making way inside him and causing him to moan with a jolt of pleasure.\nIn turn, Oliver placed a hand on top of the Skunk’s fluffy white hair, caressing it softly as his dick twitched inside the warm mouth, and chuckled hazily feeling Leo’s moans traveling through his shaft. He gave an experimental hump, making his peer flinch a little, but then received a reassuring hum. The lanky high schooler repeated it again and again, pushing more of his shaft inside the Skunk's little mouth.\n\nThe Wereyeen growled deeply as his knot made contact with the pink ring, and then pulled back, thrusting in and out of the Skunk boy as he shivered and gasped. Leo could feel his fleshy ring twitching around the hyenid’s engorged shaft, the size still big but slowly getting more used to it with a pleasured shudder than ruffled through his fur. He licked the underside of the mustelid’s dick, coaxing more musky pre to flow out as Oliver thrust forward quickly, the tip touching the back of his throat. He let out a strangled breath, feeling the Wereyeen picking up speed as he was fucked.\n\nThe creature growled and huffed, his hips moving faster and making Leo rock back and forth under him. The Skunk yipped and moaned as he was penetrated from both sides, the Hyena’s heavy testicles slapping against his own and filling the air with more lewd noises, all while Oliver's loose balls hit his chin. Something began building inside him as the feeling of pleasure washed through him, his prostate being messaged by the creature roughly but eliciting yipping moans from him. Leo whimpered and held onto Oliver’s ankles, and in turn, the Sable moved his hands to softly massage the boy’s fluffy ears, his own eyes closing as he came closer to release.\n\nWith a final, stronger thrust, the Wereyeen held onto Leo’s fluffy tail, his huge knot being held outside by the tight pucker as he let out a loud snarl, seed spurting thickly inside the mephitid. The boy let out a long moan as his modest cock throbbed inside his costume, spurting seed that seeped through the fabric and onto the grass—his belly slowly being filled by the Hyena’s cum—and then yelped when Oliver let out a sharp huff, his cock throbbing inside Leo's hot maw as musky Sable seed filled it. He moaned when Leo pulled his head back and coughed—the Skunk gagging a little as he swallowed all he could and letting the mustelid's dick to swing in the cool air.\n\nPanting, Leo slowly collapsed to the ground exhausted, his energy drained as the creature slowly pulled back out the tightening anus, letting more ropes of cum spurt and hit the mephitid's ass and back, coating him in more hot jizz—his dick throbbing and flinging seed to the ground as he stood up slowly.\nOliver sat with his bare ass on the grass, and panted as his right hand sifted through Leo's white hair, and then laid down—his afterglow washing through him. He could hear the creature's heavy footsteps walking away from them and stopping, his fluffy ears twitching as they picked up the sound of a snarl in the distance before it slowly faded up the hill.\n\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nMackenzie pulled the fly of his jeans up and did the button, his black tail swishing side to side to adjust inside the tail loop. He twirled the rose between his fingers before he tossed it in front of the small gravestone reverently. The plaque barely had anything written on it other than “X — 1991”, its chipped and lime-ridden surface showing it wasn't well cared for.\nThe Stripped Hyena blinked hard, the red contacts making his eyes uncomfortable as he carefully pulled them out to reveal his white sclera and brown irises. His tongue swished around until the fake, red dentures dislodged from over his not-as-sharp teeth, and he held it with the fingers of his other hand. \n\nThe teen hyenid looked down at the grave with the single flower and let out a small scoff—seemingly pleased with his work. He sniffled sharply and turned around, walking away to stalk Leo and Oliver in the distance, and watched as the boys ran at full speed back to the gates—the Skunk tying the mustelid's orange hoodie around his waist to cover the tear made to the rear of his costume.\n\nHe let out a series of whooping Hyena cackles that travelled through the night air—cementing the Wereyeen's presence as the trick or treaters regressed home. The creature was gone. For now.\n\n\n\n\n[i]End.[/i]\n"

Along the streets, neighborhoods welcomed in the presence of ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, mythological monsters, skeletons, scarecrows, mummies, carved pumpkins, fake machetes and axes, dollar store fake blood and scary masks; novice costumes that were made either by over-qualified hands, or complemented by pricey make up—and all in all, all the Anthro kids seemed to be enjoying themselves. All except for Leo.\n\nThe season of harvest, flannel shirts, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, carnivals, and mostly safe and not-at-all scary activities was always overrun by the spooky, orange-and-black ambiance Halloween season brought. The young Skunk knew better than to fight it off, preferring to stay home with all the doors locked in the comfort of his room instead of taking part in the candy-hunting ritual his friends loved so much… but of course, that never happened. Every year, he planted his feet, adamantly stating he would not be dragged out into the streets to go trick-or-treating—yet, every year, his friends brought in the figurative shovels to uproot him and convince him it wouldn't be so bad. And the faint-hearted mephitid fell for it every time. \nGranted, this year was a little different. First because they realized they would eventually get too old to go knocking on spookily-adorned doors for candy, and second, because it was Kauan's first time actually trick-or-treating, and Aidan and Liam wanted to make it special for the Maned Wolf.\n\nThe group walked slowly by the long stretch of road leading toward East Pines Middle School, where the residential areas usually buzzed with life as the sun died out—though, in reality, it was also where the best loot was located, second only to the more expensive neighborhoods. However, none of the cubs wanted to risk being intercepted by Rajah; the Tiger and his posse were known for literally stealing candy in order to ask favors from the middle school kids who either weren't allowed to celebrate Halloween, or couldn't eat sweets because of their uptight parents—and the feline was far too good of a bargainer when it came to the sugary currency.\nAs they neared the playground stationed in the middle of the state park, Chase was the first one to run ahead and jump on one of the swings, which creaked sharply, causing the other boys to cringe a little, though the small canine didn't even seem to notice—all he cared for it that moment was to make his black cape billow in the breeze.\n\n“Okay, so what's the plan?” the Coyote asked while kicking his legs back and forward, making him swing low. The fake vampire dentures in his mouth made him drool a little, which prompted him to wipe his lips off with the back of his hand.\n\n“Well,” Liam started and paced to the canine, holding the chain on Chase's right hand and making him halt with a tilted shake. “First we go by Serventine, and down to Acacia street—gotta get the ice pops from Mrs. Brims as soon as possible so they don't melt.” The roly poly Husky explained, stretching his right arm out so his limited edition blue Battlefield Galaxy's Sun Sword™ wouldn't be hit by the wiggling yote.\n\n“W-what about those Gummy Hammer Heads candies you guys talked about before?” Kauan piped up, kneading his hands as the dollar store mummy wrappings around his bare chest felt too loose and ready to drop at any moment. The cool breeze stroked his fur, sending a shiver up his spine as the coarse, tan cloth linings brushed against his 1nipples—the leggy was doing his best not to look disconcerted by it, but his brown mane stood up instinctively. “S-Sorry, I just really wanted to see them,” he added, then gasped lightly when Aidan pulled the bundle on his back, tightening them again.\n\n“Oh! We can get those anywhere, lotsa people give them out,” Chase replied, making the leggy's expression brighten up a bit, then tried to escape Liam's firm grasp—though that only made him look like a spoiled cub throwing a tantrum in the mall. “But we gotta drop by the Piers right after we go to Kösed Circle, that's where the exotic stuff is.” He strained as he spoke, and so did Liam trying to fight him back stubbornly.\n\n“Exotic?” the tubby Husky asked. “Since when do you like licorice and those almond white bricks?” Liam violently shook the chain in his hand, making Chase visibly dizzy.\n\n“I don't!” exclaimed Chase as he huffed in defeat, the rattling of the swing chain finally ceasing as both canines panted a little from their opposite efforts. “But it's either the Piers for the big haul, or we can risk going to Waterpointe and get turned around because all the houses have parties and everyone is too drunk to actually give out candy,” he whined and took in a sharp breath, leaning on the brown-and-white furred canine.\n\nLiam huffed too and leaned into the yote, the soft fabric of his beige sci-fi robes brushing against the canine's back. “Well,” he sighed and looked at the rest of the group, “when you put it like that—yeah we can go to the Piers.” He relented, only to receive a yipping giggle from Aidan.\n \n“Yes! Yes! Yes!” The Fox exclaimed with a small cheer, bringing both white fists down. “Don’t forget we need to stop by the Harruns on the way back,” the kit interjected as he walked around the taller Maned Wolf, pulling the zipper of his blue dragon onesie up and down, revealing a bit of his white chest fur and neck each time. “I love that they always give us the large chocolate bars, but those melt really easily,” the Arctic Fox added, shifting his weight a little as the dew-laded grass made his feet uncomfortably damp.\n\nChase scoffed and hopped off the swing, almost taking the copper-furred Husky with him. “Ah-ah! They give Leo the large chocolate bars, he's just too good to actually eat them all alone.” Chase pulled at the red collar of his cape and dusted off his white button up—even though they were both a little creased already.\n\nThe Skunk perked up at the mention of his name with a squeak, his once downcast green eyes peering around the white-furred Fox and the leggy to look at the “Dracoyte”—as Chase had taken to call his costume— and gulped. Walking forward a bit, and resting his chin on Kauan's left brown shoulder, Leo's expression already looked terrified, though it was hard to tell underneath the layers of white make up that made him resemble a skeleton—the mephitid cleverly using the white stripes of his fur to guide them along naturally.\n\n“W-what about m-me?” he asked nervously, trying to hide himself behind the Maned Wolf, who simply reached a hand behind his back to scritch at his tummy. The leggy's claws tickled him through the fabric of the black graphic t-shirt he had borrowed from Liam—it was at least a size larger, but also had the skeletal print of a chest cavity that complemented his costume.\n\n“They only give the big bars when you ask them!” Chase whined and ran his beige hands through his gel-slick, black-dyed hair, making sure it was pulled back neatly like a vampire's. “They must think you're cute or something with those braces on,” he added, then yelped as Liam smacked the back of his head.\n\n“T-that'sh not true!” the black and white cub exclaimed, his lisp showing a bit as he spoke. “We all get good haulsh! I-it's jusht.. Ugh… I-I ashk them politely,” he tried to explain without blushing.\n\n“Nah dude, it's because you nearly faint every time an adult with a costume on opens up the door.” Liam narrowed his eyes down at Chase, and the yote simply stuck his tongue out in response. “They feel bad and give you the most stuff,” he added matter-of-factly.\n\nLeo sighed and deflated a bit, looking to the side as Aidan gently tugged at his arm to move him away from Kauan. “You guysh know I don't like halloween…” he trailed off and closed his eyes, feeling the small Arctic Fox drag his fingers gently to touch up the make up—it had been Chase's idea to draw small brackets over the teeth around Leo's lips to imitate his braces. “Thanksh, Addy,” he mumbled.\n\n“Hey,” the vulpine started softly, poking and prodding around Leo's face with his already white fingers, “it's alright, I don't like spooky stuff either.” His blue eyes seemed to glint when they made contact with Leo's green ones. “But c'mon, dude, it's Kauan's first halloween!” he whispered, his bushy tail—which was strapped to the blue stuffed appendage of his onesie—wagging behind him.\n\nThey both glanced over at the leggy, who smiled awkwardly while fidgeting with the tattered denim shorts that Chase had landed him; it was a little tight on him, making his perky butt stand out a little, and it had been cut much shorter than before in order for the wrapping to go around the Maned Wolf's skinny thighes—though what they didn't know is that it was naturally worn from years of use.\n\n“Yeah, dude! And I promise to give all my Berry Rolls—specially the strawberry ones,” Liam offered, his left blue eye and right amber eye looking extra full of life.\n\nThe twelve year-old sighed and pursed his lips, then nodded reluctantly. “Okay…” he sighed then turned to the rest, taking in how all the canines seemed to perk up a little at his words. “I can help getting the good lootch—but we're not going by Ionigh Shprings. That place shcares the crap out of me.”\n\nThe tail end of his phrase could barely be heard as the other boys cheered and ran to pile on him, making them all laugh loudly, though Liam was the first one to complain about their costumes getting ruined by the wet grass—and seeing some of those were actually expensive, they didn't think twice before moving on. They jumped up and exited the park much quicker than they had arrived, knowing that lingering behind much longer could cost their great candy hauls to be taken by their competitors. Holding their plastic and paper bags, pumpkin pails, and unfurling pillow cases, the boys began their hunt for the sweets and small trinkets that adults and older teenagers—the ones that weren't out partying anyway—distributed from their porches. \n\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nThe northwest area of Vinedeere was where the most well-equipped and decorated houses stayed, and that was by a long shot. String lights came to life as the sun lingered in the sky for just long enough, its rays being eclipsed by the horizon as the night approached, and making the streets become illuminated under the purple, red, and orange hues that only made the fake web with giant plastic spiders stand out. Some iconic horror movie songs from the 80s coming from speakers on a few houses filled the air and mingled with the laughter and small squeals and screams that each kid let out at the jumping ghouls and rubber snakes set on the front yards.\nA white van with “Free Candy” written on the side was parked on the side of Trach Lane; the rusty-looking front bumpers, left burnt headlight, and the hand prints on the back of the vehicle—small enough to resemble cub ones—completely disconcerted both Leo and Kauan, but at the reveal it was just a small joke made by one of the residents, the leggy disarmed almost immediately. However, Leo seemed paler than before.\n\nFake blood splattered on the walls and doors of the houses made most of them queasy, and Chase was always the one to press the doorbell—even if the Coyote was visibly shaken—only so they could push Leo to the front, with his little black and white furred legs trembling as his puffed up tail tucked in between them, making him look scared heckless. And their plan worked every time—though the seventh-grader knew it was just the beginning.\n\nWith each house they hit and scratched off their route, the more his begs grew heavier with the different assortments of treats they could get their hands on. And with each stop, Leo came close to an actual fainting episode. The always jumpy Skunk could barely handle people sneaking up on him without having a mini-heart attack, so when the Headless Horsemen, Medusas, witches, gargoyles, zombies, monsters of all sizes and shapes, and a four-eyed werewolf opened their respective doors—though the latter seemed much more realistic than the other, as Liam pointed out while blatantly staring at the Anthro's pecs—the mephitid needed a good five minutes to breathe in before they could move on to the next scary-looking house. \n\nIn between their excursions to uncover new spots with big loot, trying to sneak into some halloween parties, and being chased by the clown-masked teens mounted in bicycles, the group was becoming more excited for the bigger loot the Piers had to offer—though Leo only grew increasingly more uneasy with each scare. However, in the end, it was worth it. The trips back to Liam's place became each time more frequent—the Eirikr's residency being strategically located in their long route—and each time their personal stashes would grow as they emptied their containers, only so an hour later they could do it again, and then again. \nBefore they realized, some sweat had even formed on their brows from the exercise they got in while trick-or-treating. Though Leo was already sweating buckets—his make up getting smudgy and blurry in a few places—he couldn't help but laugh a little. Although his chest ached a little and his trembled with his fast beating heart, Leo found a sliver of giddiness building up in him seeing each one of his friends boasting about their loot and giggling at the collective scares they had gone through—also secretly loving having so many strawberry Berry Rolls that he could take every day for lunch for at least a few months. \n\nThe night came and went quicker than they wished. However, it was a lucky friday, and none of the boys were actually worried about getting home any time if not just before curfew—especially since the best part of the night was to come.\n\nWaterpointe was arguably the nicest gated neighborhood in Vinedeere: it was the type of place that every house came with a piano in the foyer, a large aquarium with too many species of coral and exotic fish, an olympic-size pool, or cars in the driveways that were likely more expensive than any of the boys's houses, maybe even put together. Then there were the Piers.\nThe Piers were a glorified name for the public docks down past Near Forum, where most of the more modest houses were locaterd—the place being very familiar not only to Chase and Kauan, but also to Liam since the small canine had family close by there. While the backyards of Waterpointe boasted impeccably clean, well maintained private docking bays, the multiple decks by the Piers were much simpler and used. And yet, the place was as lively as the boys imagined it would be. \n\nThey walked past the public park and down the hill to see New Forum residents had set up their own Halloween party. Some had pitched in to buy decorations, and others brought in foldable tables from where they served pop corn, very cheap yet reliable hot dogs, some sugary refreshments, and, of course, small paper bags with candy. There, the boys could recharge their energy and have some food while playing around with the other local kids—with the small sound system and lights set at the center of one of the cleaned out pic-nic areas serving as a makeshift stage where all Anthros could party a little.\nUnintentionally, all eyes had veered to Leo; as soon as the Skunk got under the black lights, others awed as only the sharp contrast of the whites on his fur stood out and glowed in the dark—the perfect skeleton format as they laughed and hyped each other up with a few iconic dance moves—Aidan and Liam needing some encouragement before Chase and Kauan forcibly carried them in.\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nThe high full moon shone down at them as they lunged around on the benches near the lake—the lingering musky smell of boat gasoline and wet grass perfuming the sharp cool breeze with a blend of made and natural scents. To say the boys were spent was an understatement; Chase had already lost his cape along their route, making Liam reluctantly land his robe so the yote and the half-clothed leggy could bundle themselves together for some warmth, all while Aidan slumped back against Leo—his bare white-furred upper body cooling in the wind while the sleeves of his dragon onesie were tied around his waist. The black and white furred mephitid scooted down a bit, letting the vulpine lean his head on his left shoulder, and twirled a lollipop in his mouth before speaking.\n\n“Well,” he started and pulled the candy out with an audible pop, “I'm glad thish ish over.” He licked his lips, feeling the sweet taste of raspberry rather than the bitterness of the make up.\n\n“C'mon is wasn't [i]that[/i] bad,” Liam teased with a small grin, fanning himself. “'Ya only fainted—what? Two times?”\n\nLeo glared at the heterochromatic Husky, then rolled his eyes. “You guysh are cowardsh,” he mumbled and pursed his lips. “I make all the heavy lifting and you guysh get the candy.”\n\nKauan's brown ears perked up at the Skunk's tone, and he shuffled beside Chase to peer around Aidan. “I-I think it was very kind of you,” the leggy spoke softly, if a little hesitant, his hazel eyes glinting a little as Leo's green ones met them. “I had a lot of fun—a-and I never got this many candies before, heh. Thank you, Leo” He smiled sheepishly and nodded, his accent thick as shuddered in the cold.\n\nThe Skunk chuckled through his black nose and shrugged. “You're welcome, dude. And you alsho pisshed yourshelf with that spider-lady, Liam.” He grinned when the Husky averted his eyes, pink crossing his white muzzle.\n\n“Shut up,” he muttered, making the boys laugh. Though it didn't last long.\n\nA strong breeze rushed against them, making the water on the lake ripple and shift. The few scattered clouds in the night sky covered the moon like a blanket, muddling its glow and causing the ground to be engulfed in darkness. Heart beats skipped and ears perked up high at the silence—all the festivities had stopped and the equipment had been taken back by their owners, leaving the boys only in each others’ company. A collective shiver ran up their spines when footsteps rounded up the dock's pathway, and Chase and Kauan looked around to try and spot something, only to find a single red dot hovering in the blackness of the park. They yelped when it slowly approached the group, though the others were more focused on another matter.\n\nAidan, Liam, and Leo watched with bated breaths as something heavy hit the surface of the murky lake, making water splash close to their feet, followed by the sound of knocking on the pillars that supported the cover above them. They panicked when all three footsteps seemed to enclose them—coming from the water, and their sides—leaving not a single escape route they could take. Leo's stomach churned, feeling his heart in his throat and every single hair in his body standing up, there was something—no, multiple things coming at them in the darkness. His head moved in all directions, eyes wide as to spot a single tangible explanation for what was going on, and then he heard it.\n\nWet, sticky flapping noises came from their front, making all the boys fix their gazes in its direction as it approached. A gurgling, labored breath cut through the air as the blurry moonlight revealed something green and tall, and the way it shambled in made all the middle schoolers shiver—and in their fear and terror, they had failed to see the red and black colors in the darkness. It lunged with a strangled gurgly hiss, revealing itself.\nBefore the boys was a dagon-like creature: green scales and yellow throbbing eyes reflecting the weird, viscous liquid on its face. Webbed hands ending in long black rubbery claws swiped across the air, flinging more water on their faces as they screamed in unison.\n\nLeo and Chase scrambled to flee, tumbling on Aidan and Liam as Kauan seemed to paralyze in the middle of the bench. The canines and mephitid fell to the ground, writhing as hands grappled their arms and shoulders, pulling them up, the yote trying to fight with kicks and punches that hit nothing but air. Leo could barely lift off the ground as he tried to crawl away, letting a strangled squeal when something grabbed his plump ass, and then his tail, pulling him back into the mix of screams and boyish yelps. He looked back, only to see the huge red light blinking on his face, and he yelped.\n\nWith scrunched up eyes, the Skunk cried out when he was forcefully pulled up to his feet, shivering as the pair of hands felt his chest and small belly. With his whole body trembling, it took him a long minute before laughter filled up his ears—coming from both his attacker, and also his friends. He peeked one eye open, his hands tugging at the bigger one holding his shoulder, to see the moonlight coming back fully to brighten up his surroundings. Chase was pushing someone back, laughing awkwardly as a Bear ruffled his hair and called him “scaredy cat”, and his eyes gazed to his right to see Aidan and Liam holding onto each other as Kauan was marveling over the giant lake-creature—his brown hands reaching up to touch at the rubber mask around the bigger Anthro.\n\n“Smile, McCoy!” A cheerful voice came from behind him, breathing against his white hair and making his ears twitch. \n\nIn confusion, Leo looked around to see the red blinking light, and then focused his eyes to see the gray-colored camera pointed at him. He followed the brown hand holding it, taking in the familiar orange-colored sleeve of a worn out hoodie he used to see much more often last year. And growled a bit in frustration. \n\n“Redmond!” he exclaimed and fought the grasp on his shoulder. He turned around with wet eyes to see a grinning Sable, only two years older than him. “W-why?!” he whimpered a bit, his tail tucked in between his legs as he crossed his arms in comfort.\n\nOliver let out a small scoff. “Hey, I did this to all of you guys! It wasn't personal.” He pointed a clawed finger at the Skunk then looked at the screen of the old video camera—the digital image showing Leo's white face as he zoomed in on it, making him squeak. “Though your face was the best one by far,” he cackled a bit as Leo huffed.\n\n“So sorry Leo,” a muffled voice came from his left, and he peered to see the lake monster taking his mask off. A mess of light brown hair puffed out and covered Ronan's face as he shook his head, hiding his eyes, but Leo could still tell he was looking straight at him. “‘Ya know how Ollie gets when he has an idea.” The tall Raccoon moved his hands down, letting Kauan investigate the mask and the fake webbed claws.\n\n“Aaand you guys were a bit too exposed,” Nicolas laughed as he pushed back against Chase, only to have the small yote almost pile on him. \n\n“It's not fair!” Aidan cried out, making all of the boys look at him and Liam holding each other. The Arctic Fox yipped and and took a step to the side, his white face blushing lightly. “W-we weren't prepared for it.” He explained and received a reassuring pat on the shoulder from Ronan.\n\nOliver shook his head and closed the camera, turning it off in the process. “Of course not. That's what makes it funnier,” he said and walked up to Leo, wrapping an arm around him. “And you guys fell for it so hard,” he added with a small cackle that made Leo's black and white ears perk up uncomfortably.\n\nLiam sighed deeply and rubbed a palm to his face, cleaning up some of the sweat that had formed. “Well, I'll admit it was good,” he chuckled softly and paced to dap up Ronan and then Nicolas. “I thought you guys would be trick-or-treating?” the Husky asked, and the boys noticed as the high schoolers averted their eyes.\n\n“Yeah…” Nicolas started, ruffling a hand through his discolored hair—the unnatural blonde blending with the black weirdly. “We were going to, b-but turns out the sophomores and juniors will make fun of you if ya do.” He explained awkwardly.\n\n“Oh…” Chase said as he hung onto the brown ursine's shoulders. “So, what are you guys doing here?”\n\nThe smile that curled on Oliver's face made all the middle schoolers uneasy, and when Ronan sighed exasperatedly, they knew it was bad. The Sable turned Leo and walked with him to the middle of the circle that had slowly formed around the bench, then fished inside his hoodie pocket for his cellphone.\n\n“Well,” he started, looking down at the screen as he swiped and tapped a few times. “Turns out that there's been a legend going around Vinedeere—one I wanna see if it's true or not,” he added cockily, then showed his cellphone to the rest.\n\nOn the bright lighted device, the cubs observed a discussion forum in the search app Leo used—a rose and the full moon were centered in an image, and Liam's amber and blue eyes widened at that.\n\nThe Husky gasped lightly, shooting his hands to hold the device as his curly tail wagged. “I've read about this!” he exclaimed and then looked at the rest of the group, seeing Nicolas smirk and Ronan's worried face as the Raccoon handed the mask and claws to Kauan. “It's the legend of the Wereyeen,” he said matter-of-factly, though all the middle schoolers were visibly confused.\n\n“What's a ‘whereiyn’?” Kauan asked softly, his voice muffled behind the rubber mask as he put it on, making both Aidan and Leo shudder.\n\n“The 'Wereyeen’,” Liam corrected gently, “is a local legend here in Vinedeere,” he nodded with a small smile, but it faltered as Chase cocked an eyebrow and Aidan and Leo stared at each other. “Really? You guys never heard of it?!” he exclaimed and scoffed. “Parents used to tell us as kids to scare us off.”\n\n“I'm from New Metzli, dude. We have the ‘Goat devourer’ there and that's it.” Chase chuckled a bit.\n\n“I-I don't know either.” Aidan said sheepishly and cast his blue eyes down to his feet.”\n\nLiam glanced at Oliver, who made a small [i]“Well?”[/i] gesture with his hand, and the pudgy canine felt small under all the staring eyes. “W-well… Okay, I can tell.” He relented and handed the cellphone back.\n\nAll the cubs seemed to take a step in to listen to the Husky, though Leo was mostly clutching at Oliver's hand and arm. Liam cleared his throat and muttered a bit while looking up at the moon, as if retelling the story to himself before nodding and looking back down.\n\n“The legend of the Wereyeen came about a few years ago—before the internet was a common thing. It was speculated that it is a vacant spirit of a Hyena that died in the streets of Vinedeere back in the 90s—supposedly he was a beggar or a homeless guy, or something.” He crossed his arms, taking in everybody's faces and the wind howling around them.\n\nLeo's breath was already heavy as he heard about a death, but what came next made the Skunk's blood rush all over his body in a hot surge of fear.\n\n“He was found in one of the corners by Ramör street—his eyes bleeding, mouth with the remains of foam or spit, and his body was all contorted—on the morning after Halloween. The theory is that he asked some teens for food, and they gave him candy. He was happy—elated that someone was kind enough. But after some investigating, the candy could've been poisoned… and purposefully given to him in specific.” The last phrase was a little hard for Liam to say, and it made his ears lay down in a resemblance of sadness. “Everyone thought that having a homeless dude around the kids—especially during Halloween—was creepy… so those teens kinda took into their hands to get rid of the guy.”\n\n“T-that's cruel…” Aidan perked quietly, and received a harsh nod from Chase.\n\n“Yeah, dude! Who woulda done that?” he blurted out.\n\n“Go figure,” was Liam's reply as he shrugged and shook his head. “Point is, he was fed the candy on Halloween night… on a friday… ” He looked up to look at Oliver who nodded and raised both eyebrows up. “...You wanna summon that thing?!” Liam almost yelled and took a step back, his hands shooting to his chest protectively.\n\nAll the middle schoolers immediately looked at the freshmen: Nicolas chuckled, and Ronan huffed, but Oliver snapped a finger and pointed at the Husky with a smile. “Bingo! You got it,” he said more cheerfully than Leo or the others would've wanted. “I'm getting [i]footage[/i] of him actually. To prove if it's real or not.”\n\n“D-dude, ‘course it's not real!” Liam said with more fear than he wanted to show. “It's just a dumb legend! Besides, how are you going to find a rose at this time?”\n\n“Rose?” Chase asked, looking back at the canine.\n\n“Yeah… the summoning ritual is that one needs to hold a rose under the moonlight—in the cemetery the beggar was buried. They say that's when the spirit comes and possesses a freshly buried corpse—and like, turns into the Wereyeen—i-it's stupid.”\n\n“I don't know, Eirikr, ‘ya sounding more terrified than positive there.” Nicolas poked at the Husky's chubby belly, making him jump a little.\n\n“N-no, I'm not! It's just dumb, and you can't get all the stuff anyway.” Liam pointed a finger at the smiling Sable.\n\nOliver made a little incorrect noise, and shook his head. “That's where you're wrong.” The lanky mustelid moved a little, placing his hands on the sides of Leo's shoulders, then stood on the tip of his toes to peer over the slightly shorter Anthro. “We got our rose right here!”\n\nLeo's green eyes widened and he yelped, running to Liam and then facing Oliver. “A-ain't no way I'm shtealing from my mom'sh shop for that!”\n\nThe McCoys were known for being great landscapers and gardeners, and the flower shop Leo's mom owned at the heart of Vinedeered was recognized for the beautiful arrangements, bouquets, and the high quality of the flowers they grew locally. During summer, Leo even got to work there or landscaping with his dad, making the Skunk known for his kind and gentle manner.\n\n“You're not stealing it,” Oliver started matter-of-factly, “if the legend isn't true—as Liam is saying since he's too scared of it.” His words made the Husky growl at him. “Then you can just return it and it won't make a difference.” He added persuasively. “Or was Rajah right to call you ‘wuss’ all this time?”\n\n“I-I…” Leo's words trailed off as he looked around. \n\nAidan looked just as scared as Kauan, Liam looked mad and ready to tackle Oliver, and Chase's eyes seemed to burn with a mix of excitement and justice. He shook his head again, the mustelid's words regarding their bully making his chest constrict painfully, a weird pang of anger burning in his ears as they flickered—the word bouncing around his head over and over.\n\nHe took a deep breath in, and looked at the Sable. “I-I… I'm not a wuss…” he mumbled, his white lips twitching a bit. “I'll do it.”\n\nHis words made both Aidan and Liam look at him, and the vulpine approached him. “Leo, you don't need to do it…”\n\n“I do, Addy.” He shrugged and looked at the Fox. “I'm… I-I'm done being scared, dude… I-I-I wanna prove to myself I'm not…” he said with more courage than he thought he had. And Aidan nodded.\n\nThere was a shift in the gravity as Nicolas glanced at Chase, whose tri-colored tail wagged furiously, and then at Oliver, who let out a harsh laugh. The Sable walked up to the Skunk and held his shoulder tightly, though it was more in reassurance than anything else. Meanwhile, Ronan sighed again—and if one could see his eyes, they would be rolling in their sockets.\n\n“...W-what are we doing?” Kauan said in confusion, looking at all of them.\n\n“Wereyeen hunting!” Chase exclaimed excitedly and held the leggy's and Leo's hands, pulling them along as the rest followed suit.\n\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nThe air of the Furlor cemetery was colder than the cubs and teens had thought it would be. The tall trees surrounding the dirt trail leading there were not far from macabre and creepy—with its dry leaves and branches looking like arms ready to nab at them. Their detour to the McCoys’s shop wasn't too bad, and by the time Leo used the spare key to grab a single red rose, and then make their way there, the moon shone brightly in the night sky—without a single cloud in sight. The perfect storm for Oliver's plan.\n\nThe tall, rusty gates had been locked with a loose chain and lock, which stopped no one but Liam and Ronan—both the chubby Husky and fat Raccoon far too plump to actually go through. Even Nicolas had a hard time fitting in—his fat Bear ass getting caught in the thin gap before he slipped through.\nWith two members stuck outside the somber graveyard, the group pushed forward, Oliver leading the pack while recording some footage to prove they had indeed been there, while the middle schoolers were sandwiched in the middle—Nicolas taking the rear and looking around skeptically.\n\n“D-does the l-legend s-shay where he wash b-buried?” Leo asked, his heart beating quickly in his chest as he glanced at the Sable.\n\n“No… You just need to hold the rose under the moonlight.” Oliver explained and halted. “There!” he said and pointed to a line of graves, one of which was flat enough for him to position his camera on. “C'mon, that's the perfect spot.”\n\nThe group moved silently as the gravel path crunched noisily underfoot, and then knelt down behind the headstones—Aidan and Kauan sharing a single while the rest of the boys took one each. Oliver placed his camera on the flat grave and checked to see if it was recording again before ducking out of sight—leaving only Leo exposed.\n\n“Okay,” the Sable whispered. “You just gotta stand there and give it a few minutes.”\n\nLeo exhaled sharply. “N-no, like, chant or c-creepy shummoning poem?” he asked skeptically, eyes shifting from the open grass and back to the Sable.\n\n“Nah—not that I know.” Oliver could tell the Skunk's reluctance as he trembled in place, and sighed softly. “Listen, ‘ya don't need to do this—”\n\n“N-no!” Leo squeaked, cutting him off. “I-I… n-not shcared…” His lips trembled, but his eyes were fixed forward.\n\nOliver's worried expression lifted off and he chuckled, then raised a fist up. “Respect.” \n\nHis words reached Leo's ears with a sound of encouragement and praise, making the Skunk disarm a little as he looked into the mustelid's brown eyes. He nodded firmly, and bumped his fist with Oliver's, taking a quick glance toward his friends before walking to the center of the graveyard. A mausoleum stood close by the bottom of the hill he was, and Leo waited—sweat running down the sides of his face as his whole body trembled in fear.\nSome noises crept up around him, making him flinch and look around, but nothing was there. If anything, the only sound he could hear was his little heart beating loudly in his ears—but then there was something else. A presence.\n\nThe quiet whispers behind the gravestones slowly ceased as something began moving at the top of the hill, and then coming into view of not only the cubs, but also of the camera filming. Aidan, Kauan, Chase, and Nicolas's eyes widened as they took in the silhouette under the moonlight—the dark, ominous, evil presence moving with heavy steps just a few feet ahead of the little mephitid. His fur was pale, devoid of life, but his towering size and angry expression made the black sky seem far too bright. Teeth and eyes red with fury and malice, and his black claws sharper than any blade an Anthro could make. He let out a small set of hyenid whoops before a blood-curling snarl deafened everyone present—the sound seemingly distorting and weaving the moonlight around him into a viscous, tar-like cloak that covered his bare form.\n\n“W-w-w-w—” Aidan stuttered as all the cubs shivered in fear.\n\n“Wereyeen!” Chase screamed loudly, bucking his feet as he tripped on himself.\n\nThe sudden sound and movement made the creature growl powerfully, and he began descending the hill with speed no one had seen before. Aidan and Kauan joined the screaming cacophony as they stood up and bolted back the path they came from, the mummy wrappings around the leggy's body unraveling and flying in the wind as they ran back to the gates—fear blinding judgement as Chase stumbled to keep up with them.\n\n“F-fuck!” Nicolas exclaimed as his eyes shifted between the paralyzed mephitid and the approaching Wereyeen. “Oliver! It—it's real!” he yelled, making the Sable flinch and nod—his jaw half open and eyes wide. “I-I… fuck this.” The Bear turned to run, but glanced back to see the hyenid far too close from Leo, and cursed at himself for this.\n\nLeo could feel his whole body paralyze at the creature darting toward him, his feet seemingly glued to the ground as they twitched but didn't budge. He yelped out sharply, and his world became a whirl around him when the Wereyeen tackled him to the ground, shivering and writhing to come free. Heavy clawed hands held his wrists down, the red rose flying back and being lost on the grass under them. The beast snarled and breathed heavily on top of him—making him cry out unintelligently as warm drool touched his face—feeling his legs getting pinned down as the Wereyeen held them in between his own.\nThe little Skunk fought weakly as the beast closed in, his red eyes and teeth only a few inches away. He closed his eyes shut, impossibly frozen under the terrifying weight of the beast, but then felt something warm and wet against his white face.\n\nOliver watched quietly as the Wereyeen licked Leo's face hungrily—his long appendage lowering until it pressed against the Skunk's lips, making him gasp a little. A weird jolt went through Leo's terrified body as he hesitantly opened his eyes, his heart skipped a beat as he took notice of the flailing tongue against his mouth, and how close their faces were—seeing the Hyena's expression to be not one of hunger or anger, but of need. \nHe gulped, feeling something slowly grinding between his legs, warm and hard, and eliciting a soft moan to escape from his throat. The creature used that split second to slip his tongue inside Leo's lips, exploring it and hitting the coarse texture of the Skunk's braces—his teeth closed tightly shut but chattering. The taste of the Wereyeen's spit and his breath invaded Leo's mouth, causing a surge of panic that drove the seventh grader to try to slip free, but only found his body waning into submission as the rough sensations took over his instincts.\n\n“O-oh…” was Oliver's reaction as he felt his face warming up, his eyes trained on the bobbing tent between the Stripped Wereyeen's legs as the monster almost laid down on top of Leo. \n\nHis uncut member stirred under his loose blue basketball shorts and sent a small tickling feeling down his testicles and up his belly as the tip grazed against the cloth. He reached a hand down to give it a soft squeeze, letting out a strangled breath through his tightly closed lips as the half-hard member twitched to life, his heart hammering a little louder in his ears at the scene before him. With a flicker of his fluffy brown ears, Oliver glanced at the recording camera, and chuckled as an idea popped into his head.\nHe kneeled behind the device, and messed around with the settings and zoomed in a bit until the framing was focused on mostly the pair. The Sable took a deep, shaky breath in and stood up, then stood up and slowly walked to the two Anthros on the grass—his hand close to his chest, and eyes and ears alert in case he needed to defend himself from the towering, lust-driven being.\n\nThe mustelid made his way to Leo's side, and knelt down, his shaking hands hesitantly moving to the Wereyeen's crotch, grazing the wiggling tent. Both heard as the beast let out a low growl, but didn't move as Oliver undid the button and zipper, letting the massive pink rocket drip precum copiously on Leo's groin as it came free. The Skunk let out a muffled whimper as he stared at Oliver, and then at the Hyena's erection in between his stripped legs, his eyes widening at the engorged member rubbing against his own, leaving a silvery string of viscous liquid connecting them. A weird, exciting feeling coursed through him like electricity, and he moaned softly when the Wereyeen humped in between his legs, feeling the wetness of the huge, drippy member soak into his costume and seep to touch his fuzzy ballsack. \n\nLeo's lips trembled around the fleshy, slippery appendage in his mouth, feeling his own modest peen twitch and stir at the sensitive touch, and took a deep breath in. He closed his eyes, his shuddering body steadily settled as he steeled himself, and hesitantly loosed his jaw his tongue could timidly lick the one invading his mouth. The smaller fleshy appendage darted along the longer one stiffly, then once more, allowing the cub to taste the drool and spittle while they awkwardly made out.\nBefore he knew it, their tongues were wrestling each other, slowly falling into a rhythm the Skunk judged completely different from the previous roughness—and he appreciated it as their breaths mingled together.\n\nMeanwhile, Oliver worked the beast's cock with one hand—kneading the pink meat slowly, its thick knot easily bigger than his palm—while his other hand unclasped the tail loop to the back of the yeen’s jeans. The Sable hesitatingly stopped toying with the dick and moved his hands to pull the pants down, the Wereyeen moving his legs not only to allow the mustelid to do so, but also to untrap the Skunk below him—and received a small hump from his prey.\nOliver tossed the piece of clothing to the side, and stared at the plump, stripped ass in front of him. His face turned into a deep red as he kneaded his own cock before pulling it out, the cool air tickling the drippy tip as it glistened under the moonlight. He shuffled back a bit as the Wereyeen moved, lifting his heavy body up and disconnecting the kiss he was holding with Leo.\n\nThe creature moved his large hands down the Skunk's body and panted heavily, his chest expanding as the cub under him took a sharp breath. Leo’s green eyes were dazed as he looked up at the throbbing member above the pair of hefty balls, feeling his own dick twitch painfully against the elastic fabric of the costume—a single bead of pre leaking through to kiss the pink cock rubbing against it, and he bit down on his lower lip, flashing his orthodontic braces as he whined needily. Looking up at the monster, the young Anthro hesitated before nodding weakly, feeling the claws on his chest graze and play with his nipples under his shirt—and the beast growled possessively.\n\nWith a rough push, the Wereyeen flipped Leo on his belly,  making the cub yelp, and pulled his hips up so he was propped on his knees. The Hyena’s hands caressed down the Skunk’s back and stopped at the perky ass in front of him, and proceeded to squeeze the cheeks firmly as he let out a feral huff. A clawed thumb dragged down on the stretched fabric of Leo’s costume before it reached in between his asscheeks, and with a little bit of prodding, the Wereyeen tore through it, revealing the pink pucker to the cold air. \n\nLeo gasped, and looked back, tensing as his tailhole was touched and explored by the yeen. A shiver ran up his spine when the cold of the Wereyeen’s nose pressed and prodded in between his fuzzy asscheeks, making his squeak and look straight ahead again. A wet touch slipped between his crack and twirled around his most private place, making him clench his cheeks reflexively before he willed himself to relax.\n\nOliver huffed and moaned at the sight, his left hand absentmindedly touching the Wereyeen’s muscled butt as the beast rimmed the mephitid under him. His brown eyes trailed off to look at the Skunk, and he cleared his throat, shuffling away to kneel in front of Leo after giving the stripped rump another soft squeeze; the Sable pulled his shorts lower past his knees, allowing his tan cock and balls to bounce freely as he held the shaft in front of Leo, stroking it slowly.\n\nThe small Skunk flinched when a jet of pre fell on his white muzzle, and he looked up to see the Sable breathing slowly—the turgid, uncut dick teasing in front of him while his hole was explored by the same tongue that once kissed him. Leo whimpered and flinched as the wet appendage prodded past the resistance of his pink pucker, feeling it touch and slobber his insides. His eyes turned to the cock in front of him, and he gulped, letting his tongue reluctantly dart out to lick at the pink tip as he took in the musky taste the mustelid carried. His lips parted to take the covered tip in, and Oliver didn't waste time before he slowly pushed more of his member inside the Skunk's warm maw, shivering as Leo licked around it.\n\nThe beast growled again as he backed up, his long tongue smacking against his lips as he swallowed in the taste of the mephitid's ass. He mounted the Skunk boy under him, hot dogging his pink cock in between the black-furred globes before he slowly poked with his tapered tip, causing Leo's body to flinch and shiver. The black and white Anthro hummed and then whimpered as his slick hole was prodded open to take in the thick member, slowly inching inside with a small painful feeling.\n\nLeo yipped around Oliver’s cock as his body tried to process all the different stimuli coursing through it, and swallowed a hefty amount of salty pre that threatened to leak out his mouth. He breathed in deeply, taking in Oliver’s musky smell as he shuffled a little, the member making way inside him and causing him to moan with a jolt of pleasure.\nIn turn, Oliver placed a hand on top of the Skunk’s fluffy white hair, caressing it softly as his dick twitched inside the warm mouth, and chuckled hazily feeling Leo’s moans traveling through his shaft. He gave an experimental hump, making his peer flinch a little, but then received a reassuring hum. The lanky high schooler repeated it again and again, pushing more of his shaft inside the Skunk's little mouth.\n\nThe Wereyeen growled deeply as his knot made contact with the pink ring, and then pulled back, thrusting in and out of the Skunk boy as he shivered and gasped. Leo could feel his fleshy ring twitching around the hyenid’s engorged shaft, the size still big but slowly getting more used to it with a pleasured shudder than ruffled through his fur. He licked the underside of the mustelid’s dick, coaxing more musky pre to flow out as Oliver thrust forward quickly, the tip touching the back of his throat. He let out a strangled breath, feeling the Wereyeen picking up speed as he was fucked.\n\nThe creature growled and huffed, his hips moving faster and making Leo rock back and forth under him. The Skunk yipped and moaned as he was penetrated from both sides, the Hyena’s heavy testicles slapping against his own and filling the air with more lewd noises, all while Oliver's loose balls hit his chin. Something began building inside him as the feeling of pleasure washed through him, his prostate being messaged by the creature roughly but eliciting yipping moans from him. Leo whimpered and held onto Oliver’s ankles, and in turn, the Sable moved his hands to softly massage the boy’s fluffy ears, his own eyes closing as he came closer to release.\n\nWith a final, stronger thrust, the Wereyeen held onto Leo’s fluffy tail, his huge knot being held outside by the tight pucker as he let out a loud snarl, seed spurting thickly inside the mephitid. The boy let out a long moan as his modest cock throbbed inside his costume, spurting seed that seeped through the fabric and onto the grass—his belly slowly being filled by the Hyena’s cum—and then yelped when Oliver let out a sharp huff, his cock throbbing inside Leo's hot maw as musky Sable seed filled it. He moaned when Leo pulled his head back and coughed—the Skunk gagging a little as he swallowed all he could and letting the mustelid's dick to swing in the cool air.\n\nPanting, Leo slowly collapsed to the ground exhausted, his energy drained as the creature slowly pulled back out the tightening anus, letting more ropes of cum spurt and hit the mephitid's ass and back, coating him in more hot jizz—his dick throbbing and flinging seed to the ground as he stood up slowly.\nOliver sat with his bare ass on the grass, and panted as his right hand sifted through Leo's white hair, and then laid down—his afterglow washing through him. He could hear the creature's heavy footsteps walking away from them and stopping, his fluffy ears twitching as they picked up the sound of a snarl in the distance before it slowly faded up the hill.\n\n\n[center]***[/center]\n\nMackenzie pulled the fly of his jeans up and did the button, his black tail swishing side to side to adjust inside the tail loop. He twirled the rose between his fingers before he tossed it in front of the small gravestone reverently. The plaque barely had anything written on it other than “X — 1991”, its chipped and lime-ridden surface showing it wasn't well cared for.\nThe Stripped Hyena blinked hard, the red contacts making his eyes uncomfortable as he carefully pulled them out to reveal his white sclera and brown irises. His tongue swished around until the fake, red dentures dislodged from over his not-as-sharp teeth, and he held it with the fingers of his other hand. \n\nThe teen hyenid looked down at the grave with the single flower and let out a small scoff—seemingly pleased with his work. He sniffled sharply and turned around, walking away to stalk Leo and Oliver in the distance, and watched as the boys ran at full speed back to the gates—the Skunk tying the mustelid's orange hoodie around his waist to cover the tear made to the rear of his costume.\n\nHe let out a series of whooping Hyena cackles that travelled through the night air—cementing the Wereyeen's presence as the trick or treaters regressed home. The creature was gone. For now.\n\n\n\n\n[i]End.[/i]\n"
