forest as they both stepped around in a circle, hoping for the other to mess up somehow. One misstep, and the appropriate response, could end the fight. And a life.
    Then I realized something. And I screamed. Loud and blood curdling.
    The bear's head spun around on its neck, surprised. Darriel knew what the plan was. While the bear was distracted, he lunged. His teeth sunk into the animal's side, and he sunk them deep.
    The bear fell to the ground with a loudly growling noise, and it tried to throw a couple hits towards Darriel, but it wasn't working. Darriel must have severed something important. The bear was going to die.
    He phased back into a human and wiped off his mouth. "Thank you," he said. "I mean, obviously I would have won even if you hadn't helped, but you sure sped it up."
    I laughed. He came in for a hug and I squeezed him back. He was so warm. His hugs were just a bit too tight.
    "Maybe I could repay you somehow," he said. "Do you like orgasms?"
    He stepped back and looked into my eyes. I looked into his. I knew he had the capability. The idea of his cock sliding in and out of me permeated my whole body once again. My knees went weak.
    "Only if I can return the favor," I said, and then I pulled him in for a kiss.
    "Ew, get a room."
    My head spun. There she was. Daisy.
    I laughed. I ran up to her and gave her a hug. I squeezed her way too tight. Darriel's kiss had left a strange taste in my mouth - like iron - but I tried to ignore it.
    "You're okay," I said. "I'm so glad that you're okay."
    "Nice to see you too," she said. "You stole my jacket."
    I took it off and gave it back to her. She pulled it over her tank top. I noticed that it was dirty, and a bit ripped.
    "Looks like you've been through a lot."
    "Well I was kidnapped by a bear," she said. Then she looked over my shoulder at Darriel. "What happened to you?"
    I looked back at Darriel as well. He looked incredible. I wanted nothing more than to take him home and let him fuck me hard on my white bed. But I knew Mom and Dad wouldn't react fantastically to that.
    "I made a new friend," I said.
    "No," she said, "I meant that." She pointed.
    There was a body on the ground. Human. The bear was gone. It was a diminutive man.
    "I can deal with that," said Darriel, stepping over it and walking towards Daisy. He stuck out a hand for shaking. "I'm Darriel. Ruby's new friend."
    He looked at me for that last word, as if it were an inside joke. But I really wasn't so sure.
    "Nice to meet you," said Daisy.
    "We should go home," I said. "Mom and Dad are probably going crazy."
    "They're only going to go crazier," said Daisy, "if you bring him home with us. No offense."
    "None taken," said Darriel. "I get it. It sucks but I get it. I'll head out and make sure the pack stops by here to clean up a bit."
    "Thank you," I said, looking at Darriel.
    He just nodded and walked off into the forest. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes as he left.
    Daisy and I began the trek home. She was very confused.
    I had to make a decision. Either I could explain it all to her, honestly, and hope that she wouldn't think I was crazy. Or I could lie to her, like I planned on lying to everyone else. But she was my sister . And clearly she'd been through something at least kind of similar. She might not accept the lies.
    So I told her the truth. And I told her all of it. Well, a PG-13 version. She didn't need to know the details of his tongue between my legs. But I explained everything I learned. I explained how it had all happened. How I felt about it all.
    And she listened patiently. Asking a questions here and there. Getting all the answers she wanted. Starting to understand why a bear might have taken her into the woods instead of just mauling her. And why the body at the end had looked human, not bear.
    I got to the end of my spiel just as we got into our backyard and started the walk across the field.
    "So," she asked. "You like him, don't you."
    I looked at her. I'd tried my very best to
