While Ares is recovering from his injury, he was having a nightmare. He was back as a child, outside his family home. He felt his heart race with joy as he started running towards the front door, but the house felt like it was getting further away instead of closer.
He suddenly heard a sinister chuckle behind him. When he turned to look, he saw a shadowy mass with a big toothy grin. Above the grin, two red glowing eyes appeared as the face slowly formed into the monster that kidnapped him.
'Ares…' His voice was a deep growl that made Ares' heart nearly stop. He tried running, but he felt like everything around him was pulling him back to the monster, his mouth opening wide to show dozens of rows of fangs spinning like buzz saws. To his horror, Ares slowly started floating in the air into the monster's mouth, hearing his blood chilling laugh.
As the monster slammed his jaws shut, Ares woke up in his dorm room in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. He looked around and saw he was on his couch, the tv on, but it was showing colored lines. 'A dream…' Ares sighed in relief, resting his head back on the couch; 'Just a bad dream…'
A knock on his door made Ares stand up slowly from the couch, rubbing his neck as he walked over to open the door. As he got closer, the entire room seemed to get bigger, the lights in his dorm slowly fading till just the now massive door was lit.
Ares reached up to grab the handle, but the door slowly disintegrated, revealing a massive shadowy figure in the doorway. Ares stared in shock as the figure pulled out a silenced pistol, his face a twisted mangle of a grin and red dots for eyes.
"SoRrY FrEaK…" The voice of the shadow was garbled and hard to make out. Suddenly the gun was fired 3 times, Ares feeling a burning sensation in his gut as he looked down, seeing his abdomen gushing blood. The room slowly started filling with blood as the door way faded into a mass of dark as Ares heard the shadow's voice call out; "It'S jUsT BuSiNeSs."
As his room slowly filled with blood, Ares felt tendrils surrounding him, pulling him under the blood and holding him in place. The more he struggled, the tighter their grip, until he tried to gasp for air, a mangled claw forming from the blood gripped his throat. Ares felt his vision fading, his body going limp as the claw choked the life from him.
'Ares…' a soft voice echoed through the room, the claw slowly fading as a bright light pierced through the dark and blood. Ares looked towards the light, the tendrils fading and the blood turning a sky blue as he started moving towards the light; 'Please…' The voice started sounding familiar as Ares got closer to the light; 'Don't Die!'
Ares gasped as he woke up, breathing heavily as he finds himself in a hospital room hooked up to machines and IVs. As he began to wonder if this was another dream, he heard a soft sigh next to the bed. He looked down, seeing Abby sound asleep with her head resting on her arms, laying next to his lap.
Ares stared curiously at Abby, slowly reaching down and gently resting his hand on her head. 'Abby…' He closed his eyes, smiling softly; 'She must have been by my side the entire time.'
Abby groaned in her sleep, shifting slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, noticing Ares smiling at her. She jumped in surprise, standing up next to the bed. "Ah! Y-You're awake!"
Before Ares could say anything, Abby had her arms wrapped around his neck, hugging him happily, practically laying on top of him. Ares' hands were above them both, a look of shock on his face.
Ares suddenly felt Abby shaking as she started crying. "I…I thought you…you…" Her voice was trembling as she tried forming the words.
Ares gently rested his arms around Abby, holding her close. "If not for you, I most likely would have." Abby looked up at Ares, her cheek wool damp from her tears. Ares smiled and gently wiped the tears away; "It appears that I owe you my life."
Abby blushed lightly, jumping up in shock. "Oh! I gotta let the group know you're awake!" With that, she rushed towards the door, opening it and rushing off.
Ares let out a soft chuckle, closing his eyes and laying his head back. 'She's such a ball of energy.' He thought. His smile slowly faded as he tried to concentrate on the figure that shot him. He tried remembering any details about him to help remember who or what he was.
'Concentrate Ares…' He formed the figure in his head; 'His voice was raspy. He tried hiding it, but I remember he held the S's in his words, meaning he had to be a serpent.' He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling; 'But why would a serpent want to kill me?'
The serpent's words echoed in his mind. 'Sorry freak. It's just business.' Ares let out a frustrated sigh, closing his eyes. "Ah well. I'm sure I'll come across him again once his boss finds out he failed. And when I do, that's when I'll get my answers."

Meanwhile, inside Dorm room 210, Kip got the call from Abby about Ares. "That's great, hun! Make sure to let the girls know, too! I'll make sure to pass on the message on to Tommy!"
As Kip said this, he looked up at Thomas who was on the couch, naked, with Kip between his legs, also naked, nuzzling Thomas' cock with his muzzle. Kip gave him a sly grin as Thomas had his mouth covered to muffle the moans as Kip slowly licked up the shaft to the tip, Thomas' moan loud enough to be picked up on the phone. "Hmm? Oh that's just the TV. I'll pick up Tommy and head over there as soon as we can! See you soon!~"
Kip hung up the phone, smiling as he wrapped his fingers around Thomas' shaft, giving the tip a loving kiss as he stared up at Thomas. "I'm sure they won't mind if we're a little late." He kissed the base of the shaft, slowly licking his way back up to the tip, opening his mouth wide as he rests his tongue on Thomas' cock; "Riiight Tommy?"
Before Thomas could answer, Kip took the entire length into his mouth, his nose resting against Thomas' lap, making Thomas toss his head back and moan loud, making Kip's tail wag happily. 'I'll take that as a yes~' Kip thought as he started bobbing his head on Thomas' cock, making him Buck and squirm on the couch. 'Mmnn…I love making you squirm, Tommy.'
Thomas suddenly grabbed Kip by his ears, making Kip whimper as Thomas started face fucking Kip, moaning loudly as he suddenly thrusted deep into Kip's muzzle, groaning as he came into Kip's mouth, his whole body shaking wildly as Kip swallowed every drop, his tail wagging faster.
'Fuck…Fucking hell Kip…" Thomas let go of Kip's ears, laying back on the couch as he tried catching his breath; "That was…"
Kip suddenly pounced Thomas, making him land on his back on the couch. Kip chuckled as he sat up, straddling Thomas, his cock fully erect, knot exposed, giving Thomas a lustful stare as he licked his lips. "Oh that was only the appetizer, my adorable little Tommy~" Kip smiled playfully as he slid back till he felt Thomas' cock rest against the base of his tail, letting out a cute moan; "We still have the Main Course."
Thomas suddenly grabbed Kip's shoulders, thrusting his hips up as he sat up and pressed Kip on his back. Kip let out a 'yip!' from surprise, a look of shock on his face. He then smiled coyly, looking at Thomas, his tail wagging as he rested his legs on Thomas' hips. "Now we're talking~"
Kip let out a gasp as Thomas thrusted his entire length into Kip, letting out a whimpering moan as Thomas fucked him wildly. Thomas grabbed Kip's legs and lifted them to his shoulders, leaning forward to have his knees to his chest, making Kip whimper louder.
As Thomas fucked him wildly, Kip wrapped his legs around Thomas' shoulders. "Ah! Oh god Tommy…" Kip reached up and grabbed Thomas' horns, pulling him into a deep passionate kiss, whimpering into the kiss as Thomas moaned deep, thrusting wildly.
Thomas suddenly thrusted deep, both breaking the kiss as they moaned loudly, Thomas cumming inside Kip. Kip's body trembled as his cock throbbed, shooting jets of cum on their chests, Kip panting through his whimpers.
They both were panting heavily, Kip's tail wagging happily as he placed his hands on Thomas' cheeks, pulling him into a passionate kiss, making Thomas' little tail wiggle happily. Thomas slowly broke the kiss, resting his nose against Kip's. "As much as I'd love to keep doing this all day, we really should meet up with the others."
Kip giggled, licking Thomas' cheek lovingly. "As soon as I'm able to use my legs~ I never knew you had such a wild side, Tommy!" Thomas blushed a light red, his tail wiggling faster.

Back in the hospital room, Sadie and Rachel were already there, happy to see Ares awake. Abby decided to tell them about the cobra that snuck in while she was sleeping.
Sadie covered her mouth with her hand, a look of shock on her face. "Oh my god! How did you survive that?? I would have been too scared to move!"
Abby, who was sitting in the chair next to the bed, was clenching her skirt as she remembered the incident. And what the beast that saved her requested. "I-I guess when he threw me, my head must have hit the emergency call button on the wall…I kind of blacked out when I hit the wall."
Ares closed his eyes, lowering his head slightly. 'Another serpent…' He thought; 'Must have been the same one.' He looked over at Abby, nodding and smiling; "Either way, excellent job seeing through his ruse, Abby. I suppose I owe you twice now. One for finding me in my room, and one for keeping me safe."
Abby blushed deep, a feint bleat escaping. "N-Not at all! I was j-just looking out for a friend!"
A knocking sound from the door made the group look over, seeing Kip and Thomas walking in. Kip saw Ares' exposed torso, his tail wagging. "Well hot dayum! I hope we aren't interrupting anything! Oooh…3 ladies and a hunk in the same room…scandalous!~"
Rachel and Sadie rolled their eyes, chuckling as Sadie stuck her tongue out at Kip. "Yeah, sure. Now we can make it a full blown orgy."
Rachel gasped and pushed Sadie's shoulder. "Oh my god! Sadie!" Rachel could feel her feathers ruffling as Sadie laughed, winking at Rachel.
"Oh relax, you know I'm kidding." Sadie giggled, seeing Rachel trying to compose herself.
Abby chuckled, knowing Sadie's sense of humor. She looked over to Kip and Thomas, her ears twitching. "By the way, did you see Vamps on the way here?"
Rachel raised her wing slightly. "Oh! She said she had some family stuff to take care of, so she said she wouldn't make it."
Ares looked over towards Rachel. "Speaking of, do you know if she found any clues as to who the assailant was working for?"
Rachel shrugged slightly. "I'm not sure, but she said she got a big lead that she had to check."
The scene changed from the hospital room to the park, the wind howling as the sun was starting to set. Rachel's voice saying; 'I just hope everything is ok.' as Vamps walks into the park. She looked at her phone, a message reading; 'Come to the Park, alone. I have intel about the attack on Ares.' The sender of the message made Vamps snarl. The name, was Vanessa Crimsonwing.
As she walked deeper into the park, she saw Vanessa leaning against a huge oak tree, one foot against the tree, arms crossed. She looked up and saw Vamps, pushing herself off the tree. The two stared each other down as the wind picked up, dark clouds starting to roll in.
To be continued.
