Vlad’s Class on Proper Preying

By Talonsaurn

 

The class was mostly assembled before the stated start time, most were a bit tired from the day but wanted to get the last course over with. Wolfgang was sitting at the teacher’s desk, making a rather poor imitation of a Hyena

“Hey look at me, I think I can teach a prey class just cause I can’t teach anything else” he chuckled

“Ya seem awfully proud, and gutsy after ending up inside a slow dino”Said Kuga with a slow confident smile, he finally found Ben, and had taken a seat next to him, smiling all the time. So how have you been?”

“You ate me as a meatball” Said Ben reproachfully “But I got something special that I’ll spring on you later”

“Spring on me” Said the dino

“Yep” Said Ben with a grin

“What?”Kuga asked

“Something special ya tubby iguana” Ben said and pated his scaly tummy “So you got Wolfgang all stowed up in there”

Kuga belched and smiled “Yep, ain’t that right Wolfgang!”

“Yeah, Yeah, You just wait Dino” Said Wolfgang, leaning back in his chair

Tolstoy sighed and sulked, sitting by himself “Damn Cats, Damn lions, they shove me in every class I hate.”

“Hias, Bear, I’m new here” Said a Hyena sitting a desk away.

“Names Tolstoy” Said Tolstoy “Ya look rather handsomely delicious ‘He said, Looks like I’m going to get at least something to eat today!”

“Oh good, I won’t be turned into a big fat stinky bear belly” Chuckled Bajir, then ducked Tolosty’s swipe “Ya can’t just pick on me all the time, I betcha teach will starve you, thinking your to fat.”

“He wouldn’t survive a minute” Said Tolstoy ‘I am the uber pred! None can top me… here” he added with a weakening end to the statement.

“How can you say that with a straight face” Said Wolfgang “I found your rather scrumptious”

“Is that so” chuckle Bajir “perhaps this time I get some bear in me”

“You will most certainly not, you blue furball!” Said Tolstoy

“Yeah, Big bear is going in my belly” Said Wolfgang

“Heyas, I think teach is coming, I hear something outside” Bajir scrunched up his face “or is that just your belly bear”

“Teach will be going in there if not careful, sick as can be of being in this dumb class” Tolstoy snorted.

Roofus paused and sighed “Give him a chance Tolstoy.

 

Vlad wheeled in a small machine and turned it on, it showed a light on the wall nearest the door, he lowered the lights and picked up a small box near the machine, pressing the button a slide came into focus. Showing the word “Prey, Science or Art”

“Now Class, I am going to show you a slideshow about how the proper prey’s should behave, It’s quite a art to do it right where preds will be so enthralled with your flavor and style that they wait in line for a chance to sample it again. “ Vlad Paused

“Are you that?” Said Tolstoy

“Well Yes” Said Vlad

“Time to get some bear food” Said Tolstoy, ready to get out of his seat.

“er, Not the time right now Mr. Tolstoy, Please I do have a class to teach, but in the tradition of all teachers here I’ll let you practice on me at the end”

“Wait? In the traditon of all teachers hear?” Said Kuga, blinking a few times “When did that get arranged. Why did I end up in the big guy lion then?” He looked back to were he heard a muffled chuckling. “Ben”

“Why’s your human chuckling?” Said a curious, Very sizeable chunky red dragon. Stalbon had long since given up the idea of a seat and was just resting on his belly, craning his head to look at others

“I didn’t think he would actually read that, I just slipped it into his offical papers early in the day” Ben said

“Oh.. dear Ben, won’t Leo be mad?” Said Kuga

“He dared me to do it!” Said The chuckling human. “I still can’t believe he said it so basically, I wonder if all the other little rules I added will be official.

“Ahh.. I see” Said Stalbon. Looking back at Vlad sofly “He is a nice guy though, I met him before, ate him once or twice too”

“Aren’t you known as the dragon who is only prey?” Asked Tolstoy, looking over

“Well.. I do have to eat, just, well, I like big Roos, and Raptors and things, and felt I should give Vlad a friendly face here, and maybe a friendly belly too… She likes me to eat more.

“Who” Said Tolstoy.

“Minerva” Said a wistful Stalbon, “Anyone know what other course she is teaching, I couldn’t find out?”

“Er.. Excuse me Stalbon, Tolstoy, I do want to get started, I haven’t got much spare time in my class plans if you all want to get out on time.

“And what do you do if you run overtime?” Asked Dom

“Um.. I ask if you would stay to the end” Said the teacher

“That’s rather low force” Said Dom

“The way I am” Said Vlad softly.

Tolstoy laughed and elbowed the nearby students “This sounds like a class a bear should eat well in”

There was a knock on the door , everyone turned to see the window blotted out with sandy fur, then everyone but Vlad looked back, knowing the visitor through experience, some with a lot of experience.

“Hello?” Asked Vlad innocently “Class is in session”

“Vlad” Said Leo as he pushed open the door. “Sorry for disturbing your class, but there are a couple of furs that need to be in here, first let me introduce Bourbon.” A chocobo of moderately large size strolled into the class, wearing a “Do not eat” Placard on both sides, he smiled and cawed “ He ruffled his yellow feathers “I am having him here to audit your class, see how your teaching.

“Er, Leo… Um.. I don’t know if I can handle any more” Said Vlad

“Oh, don’t worry ,he is just going to sit in the back and watch, isn’t that right Bourbon, don’t say anything and I’ll assume it’s a yes. The Chocobo remained silent

See, he is going to behave “Said the lion gently scratching the smaller teachers chin.

“Um Leo, why does he have a bib saying “Eat the Teach” on then.”Said Vlad

“BOURBON! You take that off, I gave you that as a present, not to scare the poor teacher that I am squeezing you into the class of

“Okay Leo, For you I won’t just gobble up the teacher till he fouls up enough in class to be birdfood.” Bourbon said and gave Leo a beaky nose against his chest before he trotted to a desk in the back, making it groan under his weight.

“Ready teach, lets see what lessons your giving my food” Kreened Bourbon, Bourbon rubbed his belly and began pointing at students “you.. no..no.. and you.. ohh, I think you’d be nice too”

“Stop eating with your eyes!” said Vlad

“And the other one” said Leo

“Another, I’m not up for this”

“Heyas Spotty” Came the chuckle from somewhere inside the lion

“NOT HIM LEO! Please, you couldn’t do that to me

Now a voice echoes from deep inside the lion. “LET ME OUT” Said Leos belly, small indentations now visible fighting.

“Leo! You know what he does to me!” Vlad pleaded

“Doesent that sound like Jahgo?” Said Kuga

“Who?” Said Ben

“Oh, yes, you haven’t been in touch with him, he likes going in little hamster balls.”Said Kuga

“I DO NOT” came the wiggling voice from the lions belly

Tolstoy Lauhged “ohh, If the teacher is afraid of little harmless Jahgo this has gotta be good,”

“Hello Prey bear” Said Leo

“Let me out” Said his belly

“I am not Prey!” Said Tolstoy, trying to keep returning his gaze

“Please not him Leo” Said Vlad

“Why so scared Vlad?” Said Kuga

“Cause, you know, he just makes preds quiver in fear” Vlad said

“That’s Richia though Said Tolstoy with a laugh, “Jah just goes down easy’

Leo began to hiccup closing his eyes, the bulge in his belly bouncing

“FINNALLY” Said the bulge, get on with it.

“Leo! I can handle the bird, after all, he is just going to eat me, but not the monster”
’Awww, Vlad”Leo said, in mid hiccup and cough”It’s not” Leo began to heave “That bad” Leo finally spat out a soaked Jahgo onto the ground

“But he turns furs into something… unnatural!” Vlad pleaded

“Ugg;’ Lion stomach, Must get that redecorated, maybe neon, How bout we make you a blue bellies lion!” Said Jahgo, looking over his shoulder

“Ahh, Jahgo, Would you like to try out my new Ball” Said Leo

“Wooaahh.. Now lets not get and do anything crazy Leo” Said Jahgo taking a step back, You have a nice belly, a nice arse, a nice whatever you want, just don’t give him ideas” said Jahgo

“And what do you have to say to Teacher, you did ask me personally to be in this” Said Leo, the rest of the class chuckled.

“I’ll be good Vlad, I won’t make you into a purple Hyena, I won’t make you cry”he muttered “Much”, back to his normal voice “I’ll just be me”
”THAT’S NOT HELPING” Said Vlad, trying to shrink against the desk

“Jahgo” Said the big lion

“Fine, I’ll be good”

“Or”

“Fine, I know that if he gives me a bad report you get to have a hour to play with me this evening, eat as much as you want..” Jahgo said with a snort.

“Good” Said Leo, “then I’ll leave you to teach your class Vlad, Don’t worry bout how it goes, your always a good fur to me, even if you botch things”

“Leo, you won’t reconsider will you” He said

“Don’t worry so much, Even Gallows got it in the end, you know how aggressive he is, now let it go, just talk, I know you’ve prepared a lot.” Leo said as he left, the class having never seen his head just his stomach and the spit up Jahgo, and of course his voice

“And Get some breath mints!” Said an indignant Jahgo

 

 

“well” said a flustered Vlad. “Welcome to our new students and watchers, I hope everyone will behave” He fiddled with his controls, pressing a button to advance the next slide, a happy set of wolf jaws with a stringy black tail sticking from it’s lips, a bulge in the underjaws

“And this is the result the whole class is after, to make a prey happy with the meal, that in it’s truth is the most important aspect of being a prey, now Jahgo you are dismissed, you got the most important part” Vlad said

“Ahem” Said Jahgo “I know that trick, And I am not going out to Leo’s belly without seeing everything these other edible feasts are”

Vlad paused and sighed “Okay, Okay, you win” Said Vlad in defeat. , Clicking the button again to bring up a picture of a serving tray being carried on a foxes handpaw as if in a restaurant.

I am going to first run down the services a prey is supposed to provide, of course not every predatory creature wants all the frills but to be a good prey, and a flexible one you need to have at least the rudimentary knowlage, even if you don’t offer them all. First hand experience will let you grow your own personal stock of services maybe even add some advanced ones too.

“How much is there to learn about being prey” Said a indignant Tolstoy “I mean the mean old pred just comes up and forces you down”

“No. No. No!” said Vlad “There is so much more than that, with that kinda attitude you aren’t going to cultivate the more beneficial forms of predators, your just going to be serving one of the many needs. Thought that does bring us up to a point” he clicked the next slide into place, showing a body shot with  a pot belly sticking out.” Nutrition. Nearly all predators and prey engage in this service the prey will nourish the pred’s body in almost all cases.

“Ahem” Said Jahgo with a grin “That’s just inside the box thinking, true prey should strive to make the preds not even want the nutrition, such as the master being me, I don’t nourish anyone!”

“Er” Said Vlad “That can be technically accurate, but faulty and close minded Jahgo, while you certainly want to be more than a sack of meat for the consumer that is a much a crucial element as any of the others I am going to discuss”

“So your saying that being prey means filling the stomach?” Said Kuga “That’s rather simple.

“I keep telling you there are many parts, this isn’t the whole lesson!” Said Vlad desperately

“Think you’ll last to finish it?” Chuckled Jah

“Yes” Said Vlad without conviction.

“Well, the nutrition aspect means that you should be lean and healthy for your pred so they don’t get to much fat in there diet” Vlad said then gulped as he looked at Tolstoy’s wide opened eyes.

“Just a second here! How is eating lean little things like.. like. ”Tolstoy looked around “Jahgo, going to get me fatter, I want to be obese not skin and bones.” Tolstoy Tried to get out of his chair but found that he was now stuck in it ”You hear me you self appointed prey, your hardly filling enough to keep me from eating again right away, You need fat furs, that’s the only kinda a bear like me can be satisfied with”

“Um.. I suppose. .but well, that’s not a crucial  point so I’m going to leave it.” Said Vlad “The nutrition of the pred should also appeal to the tastes of the pred. There are many predatory beasts that will not eat there own kind, no manner how hungry, there are others like certain lions who see any lion not in there immediate circle as a sub specie and totally different, like a gorilla might be odd and hunger for another primate. This is a gray area, but significant. Many preds also either prefer to subsist on furs or scales, depending on particular tastes. A prey shouldn’t try to force himself or herself on a pred who has no taste in there own species or flavor. You’ll just annoy them and probably get battered around.”

“What about Leo’s Daughter” Asked Kuga innocently

“That’s something I am not at liberty to get into” Responded Vlad, apparently coached on that specific question.

“Huh” Said Ben
”This strange lioness that stalks into classrooms and demands to get eaten” Said Kuga “A panther told me in Pouncer’s class”

“Oh” Said Ben “Eh?”

“So nutrition is based both on what is good for, and what agrees with a predatory stomach, next I want to talk about entertaining your predator, this is such a wide category that I’m going to go over a few points and let the class discover the rest on there own. First we have Presentation.”

Vlad clicked the button and another slide came through, this one of a Hyena being tied down with a apple between it’s jaws, his tail up. The class looked at Vlad and at the hyena in the picture, identical. “Now here we have one of the classic predatory preparations, now there are dozens of preds who want food this way, and will break and bend anyone who dosen’t agree with them.  Best to go along rather than end up damaged later when you reform. This is the sorta pred we call “Cooker” Though the act of a light cooking of a prey is certainly not needed some do and generally will not do enough to seriously injure you.. but the ones that do tend to fit into the sadist category, I’ll make a note of that in my discussion of Preds later.”

“Hey isn’t that a picture of when Leo tied you up and he was about to put me…”Said Jah

Vlads face went nearly white “Please Mr. Jahgo, no interruptions in the lecture”

“Or you’ll do what , you couldn’t eat anyone”

Though Vlad wasn’t much of a pred, and he was soft and gentle, he wasn’t stupid.

“I..I’ll Let Kuga eat you right now”

:”Ohh, I am a bit peckish, and Ben I’ve tasted a lot” Said Kuga

“Alright, just wanted to say that didn’t involve someone eating you, I remember that scene very well.”

Vlad went a bit red “That will be enough Jahgo. Now there are many ways to dress up a meal, outside of cooking” Vlad pressed the button again, bringing up a lion dressed golden rings and jade bracers, fur given a spraypaint gold sheen,  A few piercing over his body with various fancy semi precious stones in them.  He was in pretty much the same position as Vlad was, a “Mr. Scruffy” Was written in the text beneath. Here we have a more advanced designed meal, set up to please they eye as much as the pallet” Vlad said evenly. It is best that you use non-toxic items though, for obvious reasons

“Hmmm.. That is pretty” Said Tolstoy, his mouth watering a bit looking at Jah “Are we going to get to try this out?”

“No” Said Vlad, I don’t want people just eating everyone, it’s a class on how to be a better prey, not how to… STOP THAT!” Vlad pointed a finger at Tolstoy, having put both paws on Jah’s sides and lifted him kicking to the bear lips

“Wha?” Said Tolstoy, then frowned and snorted, putting down Jahgo “No fair!”

“Hey, Mr. No balls actually made a fur step down” Cackled Jahgo

Everyone else watched Vlad, wondering when Jahgo would vanish into the hyenas gullet for that insult, it didn’t seem to be happening. Vlad just looked at his papers and tried to recover.

This design is what Leo School calls and advanced dressing for dinner, Specifically the Spoiled Royal Prince Design,  it tends to be only viable on those who have had there will broken or are truly willing. Notice the lion here with his cocky smiles, he is to be served to a great predator.

“No! He is smiling because he is being served to you and he knows he ain’t going anywhere” Jah laughed, almost falling back in his chair, Vlad seemed to be trying to ignore the heckling.

“Would you please hold your comments until the end “ Said Vlad, but his voice was wavering

Tolstoy put his paw on Jah’s head “Sure I can’t eat him?”

“NO!” Said Vlad

“Can I?” Asked Dom, smiling toothily as he took a seat on the other side of Jah

“No one’s eating him now” Said Vlad

“We are just hungry after Leo’s class” Said Kuga as he leaned over to Ben.

“Hey, Stop Licking Ben Kuga!” Said Vlad.

“Fine” Said Kuga in a huff, holding his head with his front paw.

“Now there are other parts of entertainment too, a lot is in the selling of the devouring, your groaning and moaning in pleasure, or screaming and insulting if your pred is more of the hunting type, I’ll go into those two things more later” Vlad said.

 

 

Vlad clicked the button again, this time a close up of a lions jaws appeared on screen “The next service a good prey can provide is hygiene. Something many preds are solely lacking of, and many don’t give a damn, but there are ones who appreciate a more sanitary mouth.

“Hey Vlad, I just sneak on and clean your teeth and then shove your mouth full of me” Said Jahgo

“P..please be quiet” Said Vlad

Tolstoy Grabbed Jahgo into a hug, opened his jaws wide “Dinner time!”

“No!” Said Vlad

“Damn, A prey class where no one gets eaten, what a rip” Said Tolstoy, who began to smile “Hmmm…”

“And the prey can be very well appreciative to scrub and clean the larger preds teeth, doing the dual benefit of reducing the chance of illness in a pred and the risk of an infection taking place in there own consumption, a misplaced tooth can deliver a bacteria infested cut by pure accident.

“Bacteria infested cut” Said Roofus, shivering a bit “ Leo doesn’t cut!”

“Leo is quite experienced, but I am sure he made a few mistakes early, preding is an art to. So you see, the hygiene of the average predators mouth needs serious cleaning and proper care”

“Aww, Vlad, I remember when you did my teeth” Said Stalbon with a smile

“Yes, I know, now.. er.. would you care to explain about how it is?” Said Vlad with a smile

“ME” Said Stalbon in confusion

“look at that, not as dumb as I thought” muttered Jahgo “He switched forcus well, I’m going to have to work to needle him enough” he muttered so few could here

“What?” Said Dom, leaning closer

“Stripey, You know how hard it is for me to get into that guy, just because I toyed with his fur color once he watches me like a hawk” Jahgo said

“So that’s why your being a pain?” Asked Dom in a hushed voice

“Yeah, look at Lardo the great” Said Jahgo

“You mean Leo” said Dom

“Yeah, you gotta struggle not to get eaten by him, where is the challenge, now take this guy, Vlad, nice guy, soft, kindly, and hard as nails to get past the lips of, he even has it in against me!”

“Why?”
”Just cause when he was trying to learn to be a pred I played rough with him,  I made one mistake and he treats me like a demon, at least he hasn’t shoved me in a ball. “

“Ahh.. Okay Jahgo, so your prey”

“I am The prey, there are few with my utter grandiose… ”Jahgo started

“Ego” said Dom

“Just cause I go down the hatch of em all” Said Jah.

“Well, There are many things that get caught in a predators teeth, or any furs, and it’s hard for them to pick them out, seeing how we can’t look into our jaws to well, that’s why it’s nice to have a small set of paws rub and clean the gums and teeth though the breath tends to actually rise from the throat and stomach so a tongue cleaning is not that important” Said Stalbon, stuttering slightly “I suppose scales and fur also can use a deep grooming can also be fitted under this, it is one of the more satisfying treatments you can do for a pred to go through there fur and make sure they look there best, that okay Vlad?”

 

Vlad nodded “Thank you Stalbon. And that is a basic acknowledgement of how a prey can work to improve a pred’s hygiene.  Yes, the fur of most predators also can use a good cleaning, though that might be more appropriate in my next point. The fur follicles of many preds can get oily, and matted so it’s a slow paced treatment some preds will allow you to do.

“How bout whipping there ass” Said someone from the class

“I had hoped to avoid the more private maters” gulped Vlad

“Oh? No talking bout scrubbing a Pred’s tubing?”

“Jahgo, please stop” Said Vlad uneasily

“no cleaning up the smelly areas, grooming…”Jahgo laughed as he continued

“DOM!” Shouted Vlad, everyone stopped and looked the teacher, shocked at the sudden raise of voice.

“What?” Said Dom the Hyena

“I am hereby authorizing you to devour the student who will not remain silent, that goes by the name of Jahgo”

“Alright” Said Dom making a fist and clenching it “Was getting an ear ache”

“Wha? You, oh, finally got under your tail huh Vlad, finally got the guts to speak out but can’t eat me yourself!’

Dom had moved behind Jah and clamped his paw over the boisterous wolfs muzzle “Thank you ohh so much Teach, I was getting ravenous”

Vlad smiled  “Jah, I wouldn’t want you berating me from inside when I could have you sequestered away through someone else”

Jahgo managed to get his mouth free “that’s not fair, you’ll never silence the voice.. murmph” he found his jaws clamped again.

“He looks delicious, You have my thanks Vlad!” Shouted Dom hungrily

Dom lifted Jahgo into the air, his writhing body making him half to pinch his face with one paw, using the other to secure both feet, Lifting him up and licking his feet “You look delicious” Said the hyena.

 

“Stripey overbearing lardo!” Jah cackled getting his face free a moment “your in it together! Spots and stripes run in packs don’t they, Hey watch the fangs domy, woldn’t want my precious blood to give you what I did to dear Vlad, Ohh, he never recovered.

Dom lowered Jahgo’s calfs into his jaws, moving both his hands to grab his thighs, letting him lean forward at the hips and dangle, screaming.

“You set me up Vlad, you’ll pay, you and your stripey dog too” His laugher was poorly hid “Eat me you overgrown doggie wanta be”

“Scrumptious looking!” Said the Hyena, Dom next had Jahgo’s hips in his lips, the stripy gray wolf hanging over his jaws patting the bulge his own feet and legs were making.

“Wow look at that pretty stretched jaw, don’t I just go with every fur” Jah Cackled  but was consumed next in a large bite up to his chest, still facing forward, hands and head out of the hyenas lips, rubbing them a bit affectionately “Mmm.. Stripey, Stripey, Stripey,  Betcha don’t make  spots on the rugs like teach!”

“VLAD Quiet! Behaving! Stop slandering me” Vlad said despertly

Dom used both his hand paws to shove Jahgo’s face and arms into his mouth suddenly, clamping them closed with a laughing hyena type of smile.

 

Jahgo moaned, he was being swallowed down in one of the tighter digestive tracks he had been in, constantly squishing him he doubted there would be much room to set up shop in this belly. Then intense heat just added to it, the hyena was a good thing to be in, he squirmed and kicked but couldn’t do much, he knew he was making a very distinct bulge as he went down, the show was half the game, he hopped Vlad would let him play with him again. Jah felt himself squeeze into the hyena belly, sitting and crunched tight

“Bout the size of that wretched ball, but ohh how much more comfy, I’m going to stay for a while, lets sign up the lease Dom” Vlad said, though most of his words were muffle

“Urrp, Ohh wow what a wonderful experience, So yummy, so squirmy, your delightful Mr.  Jahgo.” Chuckled Dom

 

“Now that we have silenced the main voice that doesn’t want me to finish” Said Vlad

“Murrphh. Hey, couldn’t you swallow a mint” Said the voice from inside Dom, though it was muffled

“Damn what’s happening?” Asked Dom

“Sorry, he is a pain” Said Vlad sympathetically, “just try to shut him down, compact well and he should calm down”

“Hey! Someone get some track lighting in here! Swallow a few D batteries ya stripey beasty! I forgot to charge my flashlight!.” Said Jahgo

Dom punched his belly”Down in there” he said

“Hmm, maybe the light switch is just in the wall, what if I pull this” Said is belly

“OUCH!” said Dom as his interenals were tugged “Stop that

“HEY! I was Demand Coffee! Were is the Coffee! Not even any liquor! Attica! Attica!” Came the voice from his belly

“Be quite!” Shouted Dom. Throttling his stomach, looking up and seeing many strange looks on the other student.  He finally realized he was hearing a lot more of the belly argument than others.

“No coffee! No Lighting! I don’t even see the mini-bar! I’m going to leave a nasty note in your complain box, hey is that it?” Said Jahgo

“OUCH! Stop that” Dom winched and clenched his stomach tight, muffling and squishing his meal “Ohh, that got him

“Hey! Bad Hyena! Stop that! You spilled my shake! How am I going to keep cool in this putrid pit now!” Said an annoyed voice from the belly

“Are you okay” Asked Vlad.

“A-Okay here.” Said Dom; giving his stomach a slap. Making an audible grunt.

“Yes, Now the next aspect of service you can provide to your pred is a deep massage, this can prolong the time outside and heighten the bonding immensely, having a willing masseuse and a dinner is a rare treat, you might even be rewarded, my lion clients have not be stingy in thanks for the services I have provided in this area.”

“You’re a expert at rubbing?” Asked a curious Bourbon, leaning over Ben a bit

“I didn’t know that either, why didn’t Leo tell me” asked Kuga

“Well I can’t serve every fur, there are only so many minutes in the day you understand. ”Said Vlad “But I am sure any prey can learn to please a predatory personality, it’s just a lot of practice and voice, firm soft understanding helps” Vlad advanced the next slide, showing paws on a full tawny belly “You see, there is a lot to work on with most furs so you can build a stronger relationship, this makes it easier on you in the end cause even a hungry pred tends to eat nice prey better than others.. There is one kinda exception, but I’ll cover that in a little bit.

Bourbon crooned “Ahh, now I know that’s, nice, why don’t more tasty little hyenas know how much I need a good belly rub “Bourbon stroked his gut with one wing and surveyed the class a bit.

Kuga smiles and nosed Ben “hear that Ben, Pay attention Prey, I want you to do that for me all night when we get outa this class.”

“I already do that!” Said Ben.

“But it sounds like there is more too it, you gotta get a private course with him to teach you, or I’ll just sit on you” said Kuga with a goofy grin.

“Mmmmm..” Said Stalbon “Belly rubs.. that’s good stuff” He looked down at Kuga and Ben “Ya know, Minerva gives great belly rubs, and I give her them from the other side ‘He grinned as best he could arching his head behind Ben “A bit low fat isn’t he?” Stalbon asked innocently.

“Well he isn’t like you” Said Kuga with a smile. “but he does it in quantity for me, just gotta keep on eating him as soon as he gets back in form”

 

Vlad advanced the next slide, this was of a female fur, standing in a frontal pose, huge black bar covering halfway up the thighs to the belly, then another bar covering the whole chest, just having the outline of the shoulders above the bar leading to outstretched arms.”

“Either that ladies got huge…”Tolstoy started then noticed Vlad blushing “Or our teacher is being extra sure not to go into another furs class.

“T..thank you Tolstoy” there are certain other unmentionable services that a prey can probably provide, but this isn’t something I’d go into or even broach, or have experience with. Leo told me I should have a slide even if I didn’t want to talk about it, and to state that it is highly frowned upon by the school, but it does exist out there, so be aware and prepared to sa NO!”.

“He he, I suppose there are worse last requests” Chuckled Dom

Vlad advanced the next slide, it was blank “Phew we are done with that”

“Thankfully” Said Kuga in a bit of exasperation, Looking down at Ben “Now how bout some Dinner.

“Ya know, I think That I just might” Bourbon said, gingerly getting out of his seat

‘BENS MINE” Said Kuga, Grabbing him tight and pulling him into a dino hug

Bourbon smiles and ignored Kuga, moving a few steps, creeping up behind the front row. Watching both Tolstoy and Dom, both focused on Vlad, not even paying him any attention.

“Easy Jahgo, your mine forever” Said Dom

“Your mine forever NOW.” Said Bourbon and leaped, grabbing Dom with his wings and struggling a bit to get him secured.

“Help!” Gulped Dom, getting flattened by the chunky chocobo, pulled from his chair and turned to face the open beak

Bourbon muffled his next scream in his birdy throat, making a small bulge as his meal kicked and struggled.

“murphh” Said Bourbon as he struggled a bit to push his energetic meal in, his tongue licking the still squirming belly.

“Stop that” Said Vlad

Bourbon did not, he soon lifted Dom from his seat and held his sides, stuffing the hyena face first into his craw, the bulges in his underside visible. No fur seemed to inclined to help him, either that or they were more interested in seeing the chocobo consuming.

Dom kicked his legs, landing a couple blows on the birds chest without effect, soon having half his body past the beak, and feeling it’s sharpness against his middle, as if indicating the birdy didn’t “Have to swallow whole”/

“Birdy! Stop it!” Tried Vlad, he was going through the class list trying to remember the name ‘Stop it, no eating other students without permission!”

Bourbons feathered craw bulged a bit and wiggled, but Dom was sliding down easily, his rump and legs kicking as the rest of him was curled in the esophagus of the avian.

“BOURBON!” Managed Vlad, Hyperventilating a bit

“Yesssss” Said Bourbon, just the Hyena’s feet from his jaws now, his body tightly holding it in digestive embrace

“Spit him out now” Vlad said

“Opese to late” Bourbon chuckled, as the hyenas feet slipped into his lips and he swallowed, feeling the meal slide down quickly through his gullet and into his belly “Ya should said something earlier “he chuckled.

“Eeep” Said Kuga “That’s a greedy birdy”

Stalbon nodded and gently put a claw on Ben, Kuga lunged the claw “Eh?”
”Bens MINE!” Said Kuga “I have yet to eat him today and I’ll fight off any dragon who tries

“Oh, perish the thought, I’m not a greedy pred, I was just a bit gnawing is all, I’m not really much of a pred either, I prefer the other side of the roo”

“Bourbon! You just ate him” Vlad gulped

Bourbon nodded and made a belch, patting his tummy “That I did, That I did” He licked his beak, And it was quite satisfying and squirmy, He watched Vlad go pale and sniffle “Awww”

Vlad slapped his head and sat down on the chair, sighing ‘Can’t you furs understand, this is a classroom, not a lunchroom”

‘Right, It’s a dinner Hall” Said Tolstoy with a toothy grin. “You must be new, everyplace if for eating here”

“Noo… that’s not it” Said Vlad ‘Your supposed to learn how to be eaten here, not practice before the end of the lesson! I promise you can eat me after the lesson is done if that will stop you all from eating each other!’
”What, All of us eat you?” Said Kuga

“I meant one of you” Vlad replied
”then the rest go hungry” Said Kuga sadly

“Fine, I’ll let you each eat me if you behave, but you’ll be here a while, I don’t reform that quick” Vlad said
”Bourbon grinned ”I like the way it’s going fine teach “The class noticed he had a bib on with a place setting drawn on it now” His tummy wobbling a bit.

“Urghh.. Moving on, those were basically the services a prey can provide for a pred, but just as important is to make yourself appetizing so you don’t ruin flavor and such Vlad looked around for his clicker, found it under what used to be Dom’s seat and sighed, walking back to the projector and clicking the next slide, a bathtub appeared with a hyena bathing.

“Eating a person in the bathtub, Yeach, all that porcelain” Said Tolstoy

“Yeah, and that’s not pure water” Chuckled Bajir, keeping an eye on Tolstoy

“THAT’S NOT THE POINT” Screamed Vlad “you are to bathe nicely before your eaten if at all possible, you could do it in a lake or a pond, or a bathtub, I’m just trying to be clean here, get all the mire and grime out of your fur”
”Calmmmm dowwwnn..Vlaadd” Said Roofus, smiling soflty “It’s okay, your doing your best.”

“Roofus? You’ve been quiet so far” Said Tolstoy, Licking his lips

“Well, Jahgo was making enough noise for two furs” He smiled and pointed at Bourbons Belly “Now it’s got two layers I’ve gotta speak up”

“Now bathing away your bad smells, you might want to use special soap, and maybe spirtz yourself with some nice perfume or cologne” Said Vlad

“Ick” Come on Hyena, your made to be smelly and stinky, what’s with all this stuff” Roared Tolstoy, making Vlad take a step back

“Hygiene” Vlad Said ‘Cleanliness” he reasserted ‘Will not be forgotten by predators with a willingness to savor and treat there prey as more than pure nutrition.” Vlad was wavering.

“Smelly and messy Is Just as  good” Pouted Tolstoy

“I think Vlad has it Right” Offered Roofus
* Urp * I think so too said Bourbon, reclining a bit.

“Yes, A clean meal is best” Said Ben “And thanks to Minerva I am going to get to see how good Kuga cleans himself”

“Eh? Me” Kuga said “What did Minerva give you anyway!?”

“That’s my little secret, boy do you look Yummy Kuga”

“Ohh, what did she give you” Said Stalbon, his head looking over Kuga’s shoulder

“My secret Dragon, you two will have to wait to see Bens big day.” Said Ben

“After you have bathed the next part of grooming can be key, your nails and claws should be trimmed, most of us are given the mixed blessing of claws that can cut, doing that to your predator can ruin countless hours or affection and mutual trust. Now trimming your claws is something that needs a lot of practice and prey should learn to do it as a favor for preds too, and vica versa, it’s sorta grooming, but while most grooming dosen’t have any  immediate physical risk, this can cause some, a cut in the face or mouth is very uncomfortable.. or so I hear”

Tolstoy cocked his head “Okay, That I can understand at least, it makes a bit of sense, unlike most of the stuff your pushing Spotty”

“But wouldn’t that make you lose your traction and grip” Asked Bourbon

“Well, yes, but honestly, it’s unlikely to help you escape so why do you risk angering your eater” Responded Vlad.

“My nails and Claws aren’t really dangerous” Said Roofus, trying to look around his stomach at his feet “At least I don’t think they are, I can’t seem to give them an inspection.

“That doesn’t apply to me” Said Ben “Cause us humans are slick and harmless if big Dino’s know what’s good for them ”He grinned

“Ahhhh, Ya know, The cats have it right, they just can pull em in right Vlad” Said Wolfgang with a chuckle

“Yes, that is quite right.. Wolfgang, you must have a lot of experience with felines” Said Vlad

“We all have had those experiences” Said Kuga with a grin

“Oh, so your in a prey class after getting devoured last class, didn’t get a good enough grade?”

“Er.. that’s not what happened, we were tasty, we passed” Wolfgang tried

Vlad nodded and smiled “Oddly he seems to be a good teacher for what prey is supposed to do, but not as good at keeping the class together”Said Vlad

“Um, Honestly your not having much luck either” Said Bajir

“Er. Said Vlad” Well at Least I’m not eating students”

“How bout Students eating you.” Responded the Bajirian

“That doesn’t count against me” Defended Vlad

“Vlad, your not going to keep the class happy unless you feed us, them” Said Wolfgang as he looked over the smaller members of the class.

“Noo! You can’t do that! I keep telling you your not allowed” Said Vlad

“You plan on stopping us?” Said Wolfgang, getting up off his desk and approaching Wolfgang ‘Ya haven’t shown any inclination when your brother hyena got gobble down by the chicken.”

“Chocobo” Said Bourbon, smiling widely

“Please take your seat Wolfgang, or I am going to be forced to put you there myself” Said Vlad.

“Feed me and I’ll sit, I’ll feed myself and sit now that I think about it”

“Wolfgang turned quickly, slapping Vlad with his tail as he faced Bajir ‘Hello Dinner, Time to meet WolfGUT the magnificent!”

“Whooaahh” Screamed Bajir, trying to get out of his chair, “I am not getting eaten!”

Wolfgang Lunched Forward, belly flopping onto the desk and catching  Bajir’s tail as he was escaping “GOTTTCHAAAA Blueberry!”

“Let go of my Tail” Said Bajir and started kicking.
”NOOO STOP” Vlad said, climbing over his table and stumbling, landing with a thud.

Wolfgang grabbed bajirs feet with his other paw and stuffed them into his lips “MMMMmmm.. such a hungry wolfie am I” Wolfgang said

Bajir kicked and curled his tail around  Wolfgang’s face, his shins already in the wolfs jaws, he felt the wolf licking his thighs as he struggled, his arms grabbing the nearby desk, which happened to presently occupy Tolsoty “Help”

Tolstoy adjust his seating and sad heavily on Bajir’s paws

“Your overfed bear!” Bajir screamed, tugging back his paws.

“Yummy yummy yummy” Wolfgang pulled Bajir’s rump into his lips, feeling the tail press against the bluefurs back, his feet down his gullet “Get ready for stinky wolf belly”

“Save me! Come on someone, Vlad!” Bajir said

“Our teacher seems momentarily unconscious, glass chin maybe?” Said Roofus with a  bit of a stutter, he just seems to be groaning.

“Out like a light, no saving the little furry” Said Ben

“Hmmm.. Lucky Wolfgang. I coulda used more than my Benpop” Said Kuga

“MMMmm. Hot and sticky and filling” Wolfgang’s words sloshed a bit as he pulled Bajir’s abdomen into his lips, soon followed by the furry’s chest, leaving just head, arms and shoulders scrambling to escape. “Not again! Come on it’s not fair, I always get eaten! Stop tasting my chest your overfed glutton”

“Urangg” Moaned Vlad, slowly coming too

Wolfgang was getting practiced at consumption and hurried up to avoid Vlad’s “Wrath” he used both paws to shove in Baj’s head as he opened wide, clomping closed on the blue furry’s paws.

Vlad opened his eyes to see Wolfgang’s fat belly and maw in front of his line of sight , the blue hands clinging to the wolfs lips “NOO, Stop, I told you not to”

Wolfgang just grinned and swallowed the rest of his meal, letting everyone see the bulge as he leaned back, making a deep powerful belch into the air “Nice little prey, Makes me more amiable to listen to the prattling on.”

“How could you” Gulped Vlad, “he was your class mate”

“And tasty” Said Wolfgang with a smirk “Wonder if he is gassy too” he smirked devilishly.

“NOOO, you can’t do that, Don’t you listen to me.” Vlad protested

“Course not” Said Wolfgang as he returned to seat, “go on.”

 

Vlad sniffed a few times, whipped his eyes and gulped “Well, after the claws are nicely trimmed for a safe meal a prey is well advised”
’No  slide for this one” Chuckled Wolfgang

Vlad looked a bit evil as he clicked the slide into place “You asked for it

 ‘Hey, that looks like Leo’s stomach… hey why am I in there, PRAYING! I’m never doing that in a belly” Said Wolfgang

“I can use a computer graphics program too Mr. Wolfgang” Said Vlad.

“That’s not fair” Said Wolfgang, Almost getting out of his seat before Tolstoy held him down.

“Now we go to the stinky smelliness of many bellies, some of you mightn’t have a problem with this but for those of use with sensitive noses a pair of nose plugs can do wonders for your experience, it might be harder to breath but at least the stench of other meals won’t make you pass out.

“Leo keeps a clean belly” Said Ben

‘Yeah, It’s not that bad” Said Kuga

“There are other predators than Leo, who don’t give a damn how rancid a stomach they have” Said Vlad

“Guilty” Said Tolstoy as he noticed Vlad’s gaze

“You can find many effective nose plugs at the school shop, among many other useful devices to make your stay more” Said Vlad

“What other things?” Said Kuga

“Well, Salves for keeping the digestion from happening to fast, small oxygen tanks for the bad aired bellies, lots of things, though they tend to be overpriced..” Vlad responded.

“Urppp” Ohh, very cute, but nothing protects against a big belly” Said the newly gorged wolf

“UH huh, that’s the way Wolfgang” Said Tolstoy, licking his lips

“Uh huh, we are mostly predatory now, so let us help you, it’s not good to have to much metal, it upsets my tummy sometimes” Said Bourbon

“Okay Okay” Sniffed Vlad

“Next blunder in pred history “Chuckled Tolstoy

“Yeah, Nose plugs, How boring” Said Wolfgang, giving his tummy a stroke.

 

Vlad sighed, clicking the next slide, a picture of Leo came out “Now the last part of preparations is the most important. Know your predator.I cannot stress this enough” Vlad pointed at the picture  “for example, Leo is a wide opened fur, pretty much eats anything, tend to be softer unless you tick him off. He will try to eat you in a way you like but in the end your always food”

“Accurate” Said Tolstoy

“Very” Said Wolfgang

“True as can be” Said Kuga

“Humpph, wouldn’t know” Said Stalbon, drifting off a bit

“Now most predators aren’t quite as open, you must learn there tastes and what they want there prey to do, every one is different you know” Said Vlad.

“Well of course, But you must know all us Uber preds like lots of fat food” Said Tolstoy standing again and making his belly wobble.

“Well, you can learn about preds many ways, First paw experience of course, talking and chatting can be amazingly effective. Asking around is an option, still you have to be wary, can never tell if they are utterly honest, Jahgo mightn’t say all the good things bout Leo for example.”

“I suppose that’s true “Said Wolfgang “But you can always trust me, I find Leo scrumptious” Everyone turned to look at him “What? Ya gotta belive me, that lion is always squirming around in here”

“Does he always lie like that?” Asked Bourbon

“Nah, normally he makes his stories a lot more believable” Chuckled Kuga

“Was that furry dipped in a hallucinogen Wolfgang, dreaming already?” Said Tolstoy

“Okay Okay, Maybe it was the other way around” Said a cheerful Wolfgang

“The last way is to take investigative evidence, follow them around and see what they do. I must warn you that this tends to be counter productive as many preds don’t like it and feel offended if followed even for the best reasons.”

“Can only imagine what you’d get if Leo found you sniffing around his family… well It’s easy to imagine, CHOMP, Gulp:” Said Tolstoy

Vlad nodded “Yes, that’s probably right”

“And who would need to slink around with Leo, he is so open, if hungry” Said Roofus

 

And now it’s bear feeding time!” Shouted Tolstoy, lunging from behind and grabbing Wolfgang when he was focused elsewhere, dragging him a bit slowly back over the desks.

“HEY! TOLSTOY! We had a deal!” Wolfgang gulped

“What deal, I don’t remember any” Tolstoy said

“Oh not again STOP IT YOU TWO” Said Vlad, covering his head with his paw.

“No Way” Said Tolstoy, heaving Wolfgang to his lips

“YES WAY! Lesson to the hyena!” Said Wolfgang, kicking a bit.

Vlad snarled a bit “See what you started Wolfgang, Bourbon, Now you set each other into a gorge, how can I teach if you are constantly eating each other.

“Ya know, Vlad has a Point Tolstoy” Roofus said as he turned to watch the struggle between Wolfgang and Tolstoy, Both effectively muffled face in face

‘Mrrrpphh, Stop it we said we were a team” Struggled Wolfgang.

“Mrrrppaaarruyum, I can’t resist” Mumbled Tolstoy.

“Oh I give up.” Said Vlad. “I’m going to wait until one of you finishes up and then lets try to get on with things!”

“You can’t” Murphed Wolfgang, then nothing else was discernable, his face bulging Tolstoy’s throat, the big bear holding him tight and pulling his writhing form in, the fat bears throat making him sweat already, his big belly and rump kicking comically

“Mmmm..” Tolstoy said, feeling Wolfgang’s chest in his mouth, letting his tongue lather and rub over its chubbiness, before using his paws on the wolfs backside to shove in slowly, Wolfgang providing a struggle.

“Well” Said Roofus “I was wondering how long he would be able not to eat.”

Bourbon smiled and whipped his mouth with his wing “Right” The wipe didn’t do much, he still looked like he was drooling.

“Mmm..you taste so good Wolfgang, always going down gullets, YOU should be called prey wolf” Said the prey bear being pred as he golomped forward covering half of the meal into his mouth, Wolfgang’s head hanging into his throat, getting the bad side of the rancid smell wafting up. Tolstoy moaned as he felt his meal wiggle, still kicking. Your mine Wolfgang, It’s been to long” Tolstoy mumbled around him

“Boy, Wolfgang is on a real slide huh Ben, Two times in my belly,  A big black Kitties, and now a teddy bear!” Kuga laughed

Ben nodded and smiled “I see he helped you widen

“ER” Said Kuga “I think I am getting gypped “Er, Vlad, Could I eat someone”
”NO! You will behave, Leo Told me you were one of the good ones” Said Vlad

“Fiddly Fudge” Said Kuga

“Yeah!” Said Ben Standing up “Goooo VLADDD, Lets hear it GOOOO Vladddd”

“Leo tell you everyone is a good one?” Asked Roofus innocently, noticing the furs next to him seeming to have vanished.

“Well, Yes Roofus, He just tells me who to watch out for, but I think what behaves for Leo is starting to exploit my nature” He sniffed “I’m just trying to teach and your all not letting me!”

“Mmmm.. Wolfgang, your sweeter than the last time, All your exploits in lion and dino bellies must be ripening you greatly” Tolstoy said, the wolfs rump sticking from his lips, body bulging his chest and throat. Tolstoy chuckled as Wolfgang’s legs still kicked madly, The bear chugged, shoving greedily with his paws, tasting as much as he could, swinging his head to aid in getting down the feisty wolf. All the struggles though were for naught, Wolfgang was within moments dangling, held by the legs, face plowing into the smelly belly

“OHHH DAMN TOLSTOY!” You are heinous in here, You have to fix this! VALD NOSEPLUGS! I NEED THEM”  his shouts were muffled though

“Ohh, Now you see why they are needed, after deriding my advice!” Vlad pouted and poked the ursine belly “See what starting the frenzy off gets you”

Tolstoy smiled and licked his lips, closing his eyes and finishing the swallow feeling his meal Plunge and buoy in his pot of a stomach, so hungry for fat meals, Tolstoy Just belched “Um.. um yum, well now I can go on, Teach, tell me what the big tasty preys of mine should do” He made a loudler belch as his stomach wobbled “Ohh, he must be really ticked, fighting like the dickens

“Damn Bear! Let me out! Let me out” Wolfgang snapped inside, making himself a bit more comfortable “I think these classes all have it in for me.”

Vlad snorted “Okay, Now we are really going to have important lessons, shame so many of you aren’t able to hear” He said with frustration “Lets see we have the Well Behaved Roofus, The well Behaved Kuga, The Tasty well behaved… wait how did that get on, that’s not my handwriting, has someone been altering my class list, Stalbon” Vlad looked at the huge red dragon who was somehow still blushing” Hmmm.. well you are behaved thank goodness, Lets see, Ben, other than some jokes you’ve been good too. And the trouble makers, Birdie with the bib, and Bear with the belly, You two will have to curtail any more outbreaks or I will Flunk you. THAT is not how your supposed to be prey!”

Tolstoy Padded his belly “I’m good for now” He then stood up in front of Vlad, facing the class. “Look at this belly people! This is were all of you belong, this very belly”

“NOOO. Stop that Tolstoy! You are asking for a F”

“Then I’ll eat you” Said Tolstoy, shaking his bottom at Vlad. “Keep you in my belly till Leo himself passes me, He wouldn’t believe a weak hyena like you” Tolstoy laughed.

“More than a fat smelly bear” Came a voice from the belly.

Tolstoy gave his stomach a punch. “Down in there!”

Vlad shook his head “The next thing I want to discus is something we have obviously already had a lot of, the Predator, no more slides, no more trying to get you all to behave ‘He sat on his desk and sighed “I just wanted to do a good job.”
”Your doing your best” Offered Roofus, sliding out from his chair and walking up to Vlad with a waddling gate, his girth bouncing a bit. Apparently getting stuffed in other classes or between classes more than usual. He put a paw on Vlad’s leg and climbed up clumsily along side him.

“Thanks Roofus, but I ruined everything, I was trusted with this class and I can’t even get to the important parts with much more than half my class” Said Vlad

“It’s not that unusual I think, don’t take it so hard.” Said the roo sympathetically.

“Yeah, I’m begging to enjoy myself” Said Tolstoy.
”Likewise” Said Bourbon, reclining a bit “That hyena is settling well

Vlad scowled, Then hugged Roofus “At least he is supportive of me.”

“Yes, And very supportive of a healthy belly” Said Tolstoy “Come on vlad, Let me feed him to you”

Both teacher and roo’s jaws dropped in shocked, Vlad shook his head vigorously “I am not going to be corrupted by the likes of you, We might have just met but he understands me more than any of you greedy problem makers.”

Tolstoy  Turned around and faced the two of then, mooning the class a bit “So your not going to gobble up Roofus, then there is more for ME!” Tolstoy lunged, one paw pushing Vlad off the desk backward, Tumbling into his chair, which collapsed.

“Tolstoy! That was mean!” Roofus started before he found the ursine paw over his face

“Don’t say a word friend roo, I hunger for you just the way you are!”

“Stop it Tolstoy, your going to get in trouble, you already ate” Said the roo.

Roofus squirmed as  Tolstoy lifted him with the Vlad pushing paw, raising the roo tail to his lips “Bottoms first” Tolstoy said with a chuckle. Opening his jaws wide.

“That’s a greedy Bear” Bourbon said with some disdain.

“Ohhh.. so sweets” Said Tolstoy, “I just gotta savor you”  He lowered the trembling feet of Roofus into his compact head, wide open for receiving.

Vlad stuck his head up, tearing “And the first type of Pred is the hunter, this is a classic model who views the chase as crucial as the meal. It means little to them if the meal presents itself, they want to compete with the fur, see who wins the game of wits and speed, the prize being the preys flesh”

“MMMm.. rooflesh” Said Tolstoy, lowering Roofus backside into his stretched lips, hist tongue licking the small of the trembling roo’s back” The greedy bear continued the slow swallow.

“Tolstoy, please” Roofus began to stutter.

“Your going to make me a nice fat bear!” Said Tolstoy, who had stretched wide to let the roo’s belly press into his lips, the hot squeezing throat starting to tug more and more on the trembling gray roo.

“The hunting pred wants a few things, most of which it would be bad form to tell you, if he says anything to you at all the word Run means that you will probally be having a internal encounter with this pred. Some are more fair in the chase than others, but all tend to want the chase to tire you out, visibly. The chase should also be intellectually stimulating, use good hiding places with bolt holes so the pred must catch you multiple times, this rises the hunger and makes the final meal all the more satisfying. You want to give them both length and quality in the chase. Hunters tend to be interested in this sorta stuff. Some even don’t mind if they lose a hunt or two to a superior prey “Vlad paused

“Oh, we mind for sure” Said Bourbon cheerily, “We want to get fat, you move to fast we sit on you and wait to get the fight outa you”

“That’s not a hunter then is it” Defended Vlad.

“But it’s Fun” Said Bourbon as he murrred at the end

Tolstoy didn’t say a word, his jaws gently pressed against the fatty flesh of the roo meal, his whimpering not really dissuading him at all, his flavor flowing down his mouth most tantalizingly. He just “Mmmmedd’ soon just the roos head and paws stuck from his lips, he finally decided to sit down, letting his meal sink in the hot undulating on the roo and the wonderful feeling for the hungry bear.

 

“As the chase goes on, the predator will get hungrier and hungrier, the nutrition and energy it got form it’s last meal will set it’s reflexes and instincts to there highest level, they will start to pant, there stomach will groan, beg for food, but deep inside the hunger man is going through the ecstatic throws of the hunt, it’s a little self punishing but it makes it all more ‘Right’ to these preds. There hunger gets deeper and deeper.. they are brought to a near holy struggle. “ State Vlad

 

Tolstoy closed his jaws and the Roo vanished, at least the roo fur, the bulge of him was very visible, staring the pale Vlad in the face. Sliding down the underside of the greedy bear, the body shivering in estacy and letting lose a deep throaty moan “OHHH YESSSSS” Said the bear” I will eat you all! I said I would” continued Tolstoy

 

 

“The hunter will eventually catch most chased prey though, it is generally there natural advantages, they are build for it, most preys are built for making more preys and subsisting on lesser nutritional foodstuffs. That’s from a zoological background, we have seen many many exceptions at the school.” Recited Vlad, as if in a self induced trance

 

“URRPARRRPPPP” The sound made the students cover there ears and snapped Vlad out of his trance, Tolstoy licked his lips “Take that Roo, Take that Wolf, The BEAR  is the uber pred at last! None can touch me”

”Look what you’ve done” Vlad started to cry ‘You greedy pig! Your just ruining everything I’m trying to teach” He covered his face and continued to cry into his paws “I just tried so hard”

 

“Awwww…” Said Tolstoy, blinking a few times “I Didn’t know you were so set on it”
Vlad looked at him with Teary eyes then covered his face again

“Look what ya greed did to him” Said Kuga Reproachfully, and after I have been able to not eat a thing!” His stomach growled angrily

“Yeah, I just ate one, but you go and feast on two of the fatest furs I’ve seen in some time” Said Bourbon

“Cept me” Said Stalbon sympathetically “Come on Vlad, no one blames you, you tried your best, you know how it can be, Minerva just keeps getting dragons, you thought your class would buck the trend here?” Vlad continued to cry, all the students began to look at Tolstoy.

“Look, I’m sorry guys, but you know how these classes have been, All of you” Tolstoy said defensively

“You didn’t need to eat Roofus” Said Kuga Flatly “You Just ate”

“But.. But.. I got so little last class”

“You didn’t even get eaten last class, and you had a few” Said Kuga a bit annoyed

“Yes, but they were all little things, not really counting those” Tolstoy said defensively

“Sure those poor little furs felt they were worth counting” Mumbled Vlad

“Come on teach, It’ll be okay, it’s not like it’s forever” Ben said as he went to try to comfort Vlad “And don’t get any ideas Tolstoy”

“Yeah” Said Kuga.

“I”ll be alright” sobbed Vlad “I Just had such hopes, I…I”

“Come on, we’ll listen, isn’t that right everybody?” Asked Ben

“Yeah, Of course” Said Kuga

“Sure” Said Stalbon

“Yeah, Real Sorry little guy” Tolstoy muttered

“Your not doing bad for a first time guy, I won’t blame you for the eating in my report” Said Bourbon.

 

“Ya think, really” Said Vlad, lifting his head from his paws “Ohh.. I’m all wet now, I can’t use the machinery anymore”

“It’s okay, You talked well last time” Said Kuga

“Okay, I’ll try to go on” Said Vlad.

 

The next pred I am going to talk about is by far the worse, but I must get it over with for warning.

“Tolstoy! It’s Tolstoy!” Shouted Kuga with a huge grin

“Your going to pay for that” Tolstoy said, and was about to move before he heard Vlad sob and took the seat again.

“The next predatory beast is semi sentient in my mind, they claim to be thinking and breathing furs of great brain power but they are animals,  I call them the sadists. These things” The group noticed as Vlad seemed to recover nicely his eyes angry “Just get there kicks out of showing utter disregard for those they are stronger than. They are not just the dominant honest types such as Leo, or even the pounce and eat innocence of the dean of discipline. These ones struggle to find out what you hate most and do it to you, torturing and abusing you for as long as they think your body and mind will hold out, choosing a suitable gritty end to your existence. “Vlad ended with a snarl.

There was a strange silence in the class, even stomachs stopped gurgling, this seemed like getting mauled by baby sheep that was just baaing a moment ago.

“This Scum though must be treated different than a pred you want to nurture and build a relationship with. You want these to rot and suffer for there viciousness and crimes. So here is how you do it when they are lording over you, preparing to do unspeakable nasty things to you. You first use your tongue, tell them about all your friends who are going to come looking for you, your party that was with you, the big friends. You keep laying it on, and you should practice, as much as you can this sort of deception cause they deserve no better. And when you escape or Reform hunt them down! Follow through with your threats, Mob justice! “Vlad stamped his foot and pounded the table.

The silence and nervous shifting was obvious, the students looking at eachother and back at Vlad, wondering if he would be messy when he exploded, Volcano Vlad continued.

“Some think that they are smarter than you and won’t believe that be it lie or truth, then comes the use of your alliances, both pred and prey, You made these friends of your eaters. Now it’s time to drop names, give the pred a more visible and tangible image of who would avenge you. You can even name the rougher friends that you have made, there doms that aren’t utter sociopaths. Names that you know and can back up with more than the names or even better, Knowing about Leo, Knowing a bout Smudge, all these make the bullies and cowards wonder if they might be doing there last abuse. Hell, Tell them any big names you can think of, Who cares if you really know them! Use Leo’s name without permission and the worst he is going to do is munch, you, and you can talk him into being a friend too! ”

Kuga held Ben tight to him, covering his face and closing his own eyes in fear. “It’ll be over soon, we can pick up the eruption’s pieces Ben” he said soflty

“There are those that don’t take that, that talking is no good on, and I hate to generalize but most sadists seem to be male furs, females do the dom with rough twists but aren’t as utterly.. evil.. They like to, handle you, but tend to be thrilled with utter dominion and submission, not wanting to damage there slaves. They thus aren’t the sadist. The male though, so filled with hate and anger, they can be brutal and utterly without mercy, So the last trick you have, is when they are Lunging over you. You strike, remember that slide, under the lower black bar is a sensitive region for the males of many specials, apply your foot there hard and run, and pray you have enough of a head start to find a pred that cares about the food, rather than just being vicious for it’s own sake. If your caught at least they are usual to enraged to torture you long” Vlad snarled loudly at the end “Any questions?”

The silence continued, no one was looking at him now, all covering there heads and ears a bit.

“Well, now that that’s outa the way” Said Vlad in his normal voice, switching from the last tirade without any in between. There was an unearthly silence, a few birds chirping outside was all “Hello? Everyone okay?”

“Er..”Said Tolstoy “Everything okay?”

“Yes, fine, Why wouldn’t it be, I was just really frustrated that you have been giving me such a hard time.

“Your not repressing something are you” Said Bourbon, shivering a bit

“Oh, I just have a bit of a dark side, used to really control me, now I control it you see, I just wanted to make sure you all heard that lesson at least.” Vlad said with a smile.

 

“Oh… “ Said Tolstoy leaning back in his chair, away from Vlad, shivering a bit” I suppose we should get on with more pleasant discussions?”

“Of course” Said Vlad cheerily

“Ahh, Glad to see ya back to the nice self” Said Bourbon, he was sweating a little

“Phew, Thank Goodness” Said Ben “Mind if I take a closer seat? Vlad, Kuga”

“No problem” Said Vlad with a chuckle

“Sure, just remember who’s belly owns you Ben” Said Kuga with a smile.

Ben moved to a front seat, sitting next to Tolstoy, waving a finger ”Now no eating me or Vlad’s bad side will come out again” He said, Tolstoy nodded, Vlad smiled, Bourbon nodded…

However, in the back of the room there was a scally who wasn’t focused on Vlad, he stared at Kuga, The big red dragon shivered a bit in excitement, seeing his chance.

 

 

 

Ya know Kuga” Said Stalbon softly ‘Look at them all, gorging away, Vlad can’t stop it, and he won’t really punish them, and your being left hungry. At most all your going to get get is Ben”

“Yeah.” Sniffed Kuga. “It’s not fair, I’m just slow and too nice to make the first move, it’s so hard to keep up”

“But you need a bit belly too, I’m sure you look better gorged than wasting away”

“Yeah.. but how am I going to do that” Said Kuga, turning to look at the huge dragons bulk”

“Eat me” Said Stalbon earnestly

“What”Said

“Kuga, Eat me, what do you need, a little sauce a bit of a pre dinner mint”

“I couldn’t” Replied the dino

“Why don’t you want to eat me” Said Stalbon with a honest face

“It’s not that” Said Kuga

“Then What?” Said The dragon

“Your so large! And Long, and Chubby” Said Kuga
