Bunny Hunt

P R O L O G U E .

Tahimik pa rin ang gubat, at makapal ang ulap ng hamog na umiikot sa mga malalaking puno. Halos hindi maabot ng liwanag ng buwan ang lupa. Malamig ang hangin, at maririnig mo rin ang mahinang kumakaluskos ng mga dahon sa simoy nito.

A man stepped carefully between the trees, his eyes was sharp as he looked around. He sang in a playful low voice. "Run 'lil bunny, run."

The woman dressed in black moved like a shadow, slipping behind a big tree trunk and then ducking low behind a fallen log. "Can't catch me, mr. naughty fox." Her heart raced— not from fear, but from excitement. She loved this game, the chase, the thrill of almost being caught.

"Every time you run, 'lil bunny. You make me want you more, and every time you fight, you make me hungrier." Ngumiti si Maximus, lumalapit siya nang dahan-dahan sa malaking puno na pinagtaguan ni Nux Vomica. Naririnig niya ang paghinga niya, at ang kaunting tunog ng mga yapak sa malambot na lupa.

"If I capture you, I'll devour you until you can't move an inch. Your legs won't stop shaking, 'lil bunny— and I'll make sure your 'lil pvssy won't stop leaking."

She giggled. "Sobrang saya talaga makipaglaro sayo ng habulan, detective."

He caught sight of her hiding behind the tree, and quickly lunged to catch her, but she slipped away, and moved quickly through the trees like a shadow, always just out of his reach.

"Fvck," ikinuyom niya ang kanyang kamao sa galit, at matalim ang tingin niya habang hinahanap ang babae sa madilim na gubat.

"Catch me if you dare, but you know—I bite back." She laughed hysterically, ang pagtawa at mahihinang yapak niya ay nagbigay ng buhay sa madilim na gubat, ngunit sa bawat hakbang, parang unti-unting sumisikip ang mga anino ng mga puno, na para bang pinapanood ng siya kung makakatakas ba siya sa isang bagay na palaging sumusunod sa kanya.
