All Bite and No Bark
Prologue
The wind blew hard through the trees, ruffling the new leaves, green with spring time. Blackness of the night masked the tiniest of details to the human eyes. To any onlooker, though there were none but insects, birds, and the occasional deer, all that would have been seen was a lightly colored blur.
The blur ran through the forest at top speed on all fours. Her reddish-blond fur was plastered to her being, the force of her speed and moisture of her sweat keeping it there. Her bright blue eyes, crystal clear at the moment, scanned the terrain in front of her, seeing every minute detail before her paws hit the ground. In each wild bound, her agile legs shot forward, eating up several feet at once.
The sent of human drifted into the blur's senses, overtaking her mind. She sped up; the forest thinned around her, giving way to a small cabin in a clearing. The figure halted, her true shape revealed. She was, to the few who lay their measly eyes on her, an over-sized dog, slim, yet lean with muscles. Larger than a St. Bernard, but smaller than a bear, she lifted her muzzle and pulled back her lips, letting a deep, haunting howl escape into the always-open ears of the full moon. Drawing her lips back over her sharp, pearly whites, she picked her way carefully, yet effortlessly down the steep, rocky hill.
She reached the dew covered grass, treading quietly across its slippery surface. Despite the run, she did not pant, it hadn't affected her. Closer and closer she crept, until she lay low, her belly brushing against the ground, only inches from the porch. One paw was placed on the wood, then another, and another before all of her body weight was present, creaking the wood softly. To her left stood an open window, a portal towards her bliss. Only one more quiet squeak of the boards sounded off, she sat on her haunches, coiling herself for the leap. With a twitch of her muscles, she soared through, the light of the inside swallowing her whole.
Once inside the smell grew stronger, filling her nostrils and driving her to the brink of insanity. Her senses had yet to lie; the human wasn't in the room. She perked her ears and drew in a deep breath, taking in her surroundings. The back room. Quieter than a mouse, she moved forward down a dimly lit hallway. She stepped into the last door, eyes quickly adjusting to the lightless room.
There it was, lying, stretched out on the large bed. Alone in it's slumber, the creature's chest rose and fell with loud booms in her ears. Once again a blur, she reappeared, straddling the man, both forelegs and hind legs on either side.
She let out a sharp bark, loud as thunder, shocking the human from his sleep. It shot up, right into the open jaws of the over-sized dog. She bit into its flesh, the rich taste of skin and blood attacking her taste buds. Swiftly, as if watched over by scavengers, she ate her fill, leaving nothing but scraps.
Without the need for secretiveness, she retreated back the way she had come, not paying attention much to the cabin's interior.
Mere seconds had past before paws found grass. She took off, into the night, once again a flurry of limbs and fur.
