Carlos wandered through the forest. He knew he’d seen a cave somewhere – it looked like an old bear cave, though he hadn’t gone in it before. He wanted to be as far away from his camp and the summer camps, in case the children had an idea to wander around at night to hunt for snipes. The full moon would make visibility perfect for it, so it was a reasonable concern in Carlos’ mind.
He finally came across the cave he was looking for. And not too soon either – the moon would rise probably within the next ten minutes. Carlos ventured forth, holding his flashlight up to search the inside of the cave. Hopefully it was empty. Could a werewolf beat a bear? Maybe?
‘They Seem To Be After Me.. Leaving Painful Traps Everything They Go..’ he huffed softly
This made Carlos suspicious.
Why would they be after you? You’re not… hurting anybody, are you?
‘Not That I’m Aware..’ he got up, moving back towards the cave
Carlos just followed after him. Maybe they’re just scared, he suggested. He knew that he was… he still didn’t even know this other creature’s name. If it even had a name. Much less what it was.
‘Then They Stay Out Of The Forest.’ he growled slightly, lowing his head as he walked
Carlos would have frowned. People just like to explore and learn about their world. That’s what the camps around here are for, at least – to help human children learn.
‘Those People Aren’t From The The Camps Though., Those Humans Are Much Nicer..’ he glanced back at the other ‘They Don’t Smell Like Here Either..’
Carlos’ ears perked up. So you like the children fine, then?
‘Why Wouldn’t I? They Sometimes Give Me Food’
I don’t know… you dragged a deer to that cave, and children tend to be weaker than even a deer. So I would have thought you’d see them as a sort of opportunity…
