In memory of my dog Demi. May she rest in peace.

Hunter or hunted story for my friend! He currently doesn't have a sofurry account so I can't put a link to anything, but I wrote him in as well!

Now moving on to the most exiting part! The finishers!

Wow. Best burger I'd ever tasted. I lick it again and open my eyes. And see the trunk of a tree right in front of me.

"WAUGH!" I yell. I scramble back spitting all over the snow. I watch as my saliva melts the snow it lands on. I'd never seen snow before. I was from Australia. It doesn't snow in Australia. I jump up and look around. A winter forest. Jeff should see this. He'd love it. Wait. That poster that Jeff was yelling at. What did it say? Reward for crossbreeds, furs, reptilians and anything else not normal. I look at myself. I'm normal. Half dragon, half basilisk lizard, you know, those ones that run on water. I pull a strand of cloth out from beneath a scale on my face. I sniff it. I immediately feel slightly woozy. So I had been knocked out and kidnapped. Had Jeff been kidnapped as well? So only one thing left to do: get a bird eye view. I stretch out my wings and take off. I fly relatively low so it's easier to see people and objects. I spot some bright green and red flashes off to my left and see a flash of orangey red straight ahead. Jeff! I started to fly faster but heard a very loud KARACK! The sound of a high powered rifle. A .70 caliber bullet almost blows my right wing off. Oh the pain! It was so intense! I smack into a couple of branches and then crash into the ground. I tuck my wing in against my side protectively. Whoever had shot me had managed to shoot me on the bone. I reflexively changed my scales colour to suit my surroundings. Although the big red streak of blood and the bullet hole apparently floating in mid air gave away my position fairly well. KARACK! The trunk of the tree behind me exploded. I grab a rock and hurl it at the guy who shot at me. It hits him and he drops the gun. A guy with a pistol was trying to shoot me but thankfully I'm not that much bigger than a human so I was fairly hard to hit. I jump at him and he shoots me in the left side of my chest. Thankfully one of my ribs stopped the bullet so it wasn't a very deep wound. I punch him in the face and then grab his head and smash it against my knee. He falls to the ground and I grab his pistol. Someone steps out next to where the rifle guy is and he starts shooting at me with a grenade launcher. KARACK. Poonkt. BOOM. I run and a grenade explodes nearby blowing off the last three inches of my four metre tail. "Bastard!" I said. And the rifle person fires again barely missing my head. I try to disable the safety on the pistol but it was just really tricky.

Pop pop pop pop pop pop! A submachine gun! But, not aimed at me? I must be getting closer to the other furs! But before that I just must wonder: How will I get out of this one?
