"Crap, what's Ric doing?!" Josh said as he saw him slipping back
inside after them, entirely silent. "They'll catch him!"
"I'm not sure, honey," said Mendez. "I think we've got the upper
hand," grinning evily. He stood up and followed after Ric, as did Rex.
Josh still wanted to run away, but then it hit him - the same feeling
the others were experiencing. Something about the spell that had been
cast on them was compelling him and the others: convert more. Suddenly
he felt a dull throbbing from his crotch, urging him to chase down the
humans.
Unable to resist the feeling, he also went inside the house. The two
animal control men had split up and one was scrummaging around
upstairs, the other in the lounge where just a few hours ago they had
been turned. The four lion men stood outside the doorway, feeling
poised to pounce.
"I can't wait to get my hands on him," Ric purred quietly, holding
Josh's paw in his own and squeezing it affectionately.
Josh couldn't believe his own voice as he heard it. "Me neither," he
admitted.
In one swift motion, the pride slipped into the room and pounced on
the man, who was bending down over behind the sofa. The only sound was
a small 'thunk' as he dropped his torch, Mendez bringing a large paw
over his mouth to stop him from alerting his friend.
The man's eyes were wide and horrified, and he stopped struggling the
second he saw what he was facing. He'd found the lions alright. In
front of him stood four enormous, naked lion men, all grinning and
looking very, very hungry for something indeed...
