For a brief period, the two couldn't do anything but listen to the sounds of their heartbeats. Ella couldn't see who it was that held her so tightly, but deep down she knew that it was a male carnivore and, it was going feral. Despite her pounding heart and her shaking hands, she felt oddly calm and at peace. She didn't feel any fear, the desire to scream disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean. For a girl who knew nothing, knew everything about a carnivore. Her mentor and father gave her all the knowledge of how carnivores acted when they go feral. Whether it was behind a desk or from experience, Ella knew how they behave. Most carnivores whos eaten meat before would go in for the kill without a second thought. However...

This carnivore was hesitating from the way he was holding her and the way he was breathing. This is his first time going feral, a very dangerous moment indeed...

'Is this sound...me?' Legosi imagined as he felt a pounding feeling in his chest. Was it from fear? Excitement? Or Anticipation? 'Ella...are all humans as small and warm as you? Do they smell as good as you?' Legosi asked in his mind as his hands wandered. 'Beneath this cloth...beneath this soft flesh just how much...' Legosi trails as his hand stroked her thigh. 'No! Stop! What can I...Just how? Just how?' Legosi was falling deeper and deeper into his feral instincts. 'How much mouth-watering, warm...my body...my hand...they won't stop!' Legosi yelled in his mind as his hand gripped on her thigh.

You're doing the right thing.

A disturbing voice said making Legosi gasp. Feeling the sense of panic Legosi's eyes darted everywhere to see where the voice originated from.

Then he saw it...

The thing he hated about himself ever since he was a child...

The embodiment of his feral instincts.

You've struggled like that for, so long. You're at your limit, The voice urged as Legosi began to tremble in fear. "S-Stay back...stop." Legosi cried out. You've suppressed yourself ever since you were little. You've lived your whole life quietly in the shadows, while this human shined brightly in the sun...Don't you hate it? Are you sad? Or just frustrated? "Stop!" Legosi yelled making Ella gasped when his hand unconsciously traveled from her thigh to her bosom. No, that's not quite right. Your overjoyed, from the bottom of your heart. "Stop, stop it." Legosi pleaded as he gripped the fabric of Ella's uniform.

Look at me, you can't run away from yourself. I'll grow bigger and bigger...look.

Legosi's grip tightens as part of the uniform begins to tear. "I won't look at you! Go away!" The Wolf screamed out.

It looks like you're ready, this is where the fun starts. Do it in one bite!

Legosi was struggling with the instinct as he spate out curses to himself.

She's the last of her kind...You'll never get this opportunity again if someone else eats her. You're yearning for a taste...her blood smells so good. "Please, go away already! Leave us alone!" Legosi cried until he finally gave in to his instincts. "Give it to me! I'll eat you..." Legosi growled out to Ella. Suddenly he tore Ella's uniform in half showing her pink laced bra and light creamy skin. Ella tried to scream out but Legosi used his other hand to cover her mouth to prevent her from screaming. "I-I'll...EAT YOU!" Legosi said with a snarl just before he bit down on Ella's bared shoulder. Ella cried out in pain but due to the wolf's large hand, her cries were muffled. The girl's blood trickled down her and stained the remains of her clothes in crimson red. Her crimson blood coated Legosi's mouth as his fangs dug deeper into her flesh. 'H-Her blood...it's so sweet.'

Yes, yes! Now do it, eat her! EAT HER WHILE SHE'S STILL FRESH!

In a moment Legosi was completely under his instincts control, just as he was about to devour the girl.

"Legosi! It's urgent!"

When the young wolf heard someone calling his name. It seemed to have snapped him out of his trance. Ella seized the opportunity to escape, so she rammed her elbow in Legosi's abdomen and ran. She ran like her life depended on it as she held her bloodied shoulder. Even though it felt like all the wind was knocked right out of him. Legosi just continued to watch Ella running away from him, feeling horror and regret. "Legosi!" The wolf just realized that one of the members from his club was still here! Legosi quickly licked Ella's blood from his mouth to erase the evidence of what happened.

'What have I done?'

☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾

Ella kept on running, she didn't stop until she made it outside of the school into the heart of the city. To the one place, students were forbidden to enter...The black market. She grabbed a dusty old cloth that used to cover crates and now the girl was using it as a disguised to pass through the market. It felt her lungs were on fire and she was starting to get dizzy from the blood loss. Then her eyesight was starting to get dark as well. 'I have to get there...I have to...' Ella finally collapse in a dark alley. Suddenly a mysterious shadow loomed over the small human, and that shadow belonged to a muscular panda that was holding a bamboo spear. "Well, what do we have here?" The panda said in a harsh voice before; he used the end of his spear to remove the hood of the cloak. To reveal the unconscious Ella laying on the dirty ground. "Jeez, kid what did you do this time." The panda asked as he was starting to feel a headache coming on.

Ella slowly opens her gem-like eyes as she started to regain consciousness. Ella lifted her head from the soft cushion and glanced at her surroundings. She was in a room that resembled a clinic room as she gradually sat up from the mattress, Ella heard footsteps coming through the other side of the door. When the door opened it revealed a figure Ella knew her whole life, the muscular panda who found her in the alley. He was non-other then Gouhin, the black market's Psychologist and her family's most trusted doctor. "H-Hi Gouhin-sensei." Ella stuttered once her sapphire eyes met with the panda's scowl. "What the hell did you do this time Chibi," Gouhin asked with a grunt. "W-Well...where do I begin?" Ella said as she started to tremble, more than when she was attacked.

☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾

Ella was now sitting across from Gouhinn in the front, sipping green tea. Her left shoulder bandaged and she was wearing an oversized grey shirt and sweat pants. "You were lucky when that carnivore got distracted. But why didn't you use the taser in your pocket, you knew that any carnivore that just turned feral for the first time is dangerous." Gouhin asked as he took a sip of his bamboo tea. Yes, Ella had a taser in her pocket this whole time but for some reason, she didn't even think about using it on the carnivore that bit her. She didn't know how to answer that question. In the past, she would fight back yet...

"I don't know? I just...I think maybe it was someone I know." Ella whispered as she stared at her reflection through her tea. Gouhin raised an eyebrow at the girl's behavior. "What's the matter Chibi?" Gouhin asked making Ella peep in surprise. "N-no never mind," Ella said waving her hand dismissively. However, Gouhin knew that whoever attacked Ella, it was someone who she cares for. "Just so you know I called your father and told him that you were injured. So I'm sure you'll get an earful." Gouhin bluntly said before he continued to drink his tea. Ella just sat there for a minute until it hit her like a white glove.

"WHAT?!"

☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾

"Ella! I was so worried about you!" An adult doe cried as she hugged the poor red-haired girl to death. The female Red brocket deer was named Yona and she is Ella's adoptive mother. "Mama...I-I...can't breathe." Ella choked out until the deer finally let's go of the girl. "Sorry Ella, I was just so worried when I heard you were at Gouhin-san's injured," Yona said as she wiped away the tears from her brown eyes. "Mama, I'm fine," Ella said trying to comfort the weeping doe. "No, your not fine!" A deep voice cuts the girl off. A large lion came into the room, he was wearing a dark suit with black shoes. This was named Enzo and he is Ella's adoptive father and husband of the Red brocket deer. His long mane had grey streaks to it, even though he's a lion his face was more disciplined than any carnivore. "Papa..." Ella said softly as she looked at her father with an anxious expression. "I don't know where to begin with you, young lady. First, you send my men away after there was a predator attack at your school. Next, you almost got yourself killed by a feral carnivore. And let's not forget that you went to the black market by yourself while you were bleeding!" Enzo listed in a scolding demeanor. "If Gouhin-san hadn't found you in that alleyway first you would've been killed. You know that the black market was full of carnivores that would kill to eat you." Enzo said with a frown while Ella kept her head down as if she was guilty. "I'm sorry Papa, I didn't know what to do at the time...I'm sorry for worrying you, mama, and Gouhin-sensei," Ella spoke softly before she felt a pair of strong yet gentle arms around her. "I'm just glad that your safe, Ella," Enzo said as he patted the girl's red hair. "We love you Ella and we don't want to lose you," Yona said as she joined in the hug. "I know," Ella replied as she returns the hugs from her parents.

"Just so you know I'm double the security around you," Enzo said ruing the heartwarming moment. A second later...

"WHAT?!"
