Chapter 1: First Opening Underwater Kills
In a quiet and peaceful warm lake, surrounded by tall trees and cold saltwater, lives the beautiful lake of Ender. Known for its open tourism, historical museums, and mostly for its endearing role signature, the lake itself. Prospered of small marshes and lily pads, while accustomed to its gazing sense of pure beauty, Ender's Lake is for all the public view.
Used for long vacations, for photographing, or to rest by the ground, the lake was made for all animals, every breed and species, all welcomed to its humble pleasantest. Away from the lake lies the town of Ender, one of the rarest towns to have minimum crime and lowest predation results. While they still happen, it was rare, and most were overpopulated by herbivores and omnivores. Only 22 percent of carnivores live in the area, while 50 percent are carnivore tourists or travelers. Small business of pawn shops, accessories, saloons, grooming stations, clothing stores, a few gas station businesses, two main grocery stores in the inner and outer parts of the town, hotels, and apartments into one small town. Away from the town also lived neighboring homes, some living close to the town while others lived close to the swampy areas of the lake. Ender was the only town for every animal in every design, more than the big cities that are inflated by their high prices of the economy. In Ender, problems are solved quickly and persistently. The town community are also more open-minded and friendly towards others, where racism and prejudice rarely exist unlike in the past.
The town of Ender began in the mid-1800s, where early settlers populated the area during the animal exchange. Founded by General leader and pro-Senator of the town was Lirben Joss, a male ape who brought the first settlers into a peaceful settlement without condoning to instinctual violence. Unlike most of the other nations in the world or even the smallest towns and cities, Ender was brought together, when the primate ape found the lake itself. As the animals discovered the lake, its source of beauty and harmony, created a peaceful pact with the three species. Even though peace existed for a long time, the era of the Carni-Herbi war began.
In the early 1900s, war between carnivores and herbivore erupted, started by a dispute of the horse family and the weasel family. Once the news spread all over the world, it was Ender's first civil battle, where the peace ended with bloodshed and destruction. While the omnivores helped both causes, it turned into a rival of hatred between the two different species, lasting only several months of torn blood, until the war itself ended for one year. But unlike the other countries, nations, or even the smallest islands, Ender was forgiven. The carnivores promised to be better beasts and the herbivores forbidden themselves from causing pain into the teeth beasts.
As the years went by, as most of the world shown bitter taste and unforgotten hatred of their differences, Ender was none of them. All because of the beauty of the lake and the source of beginning of their existing tranquilness. Ender was remade to gather the attention of every generation, every beast to a mouse to an elephant, all welcomed to the one place that everyone is included and accepted. Interspecies couples and marriages were also accepted, as most animals do not tolerate differences from figures to emotions. To this day in the modern world, Ender's Lake remains the peaceful town with its resourceful businesses and kind civilians, the lake is the town's proudest addition to their secluded land.
Until now...
In a late afternoon setting, with the sun slowing going down into the dusk, with some light still shining down the fresh and calm lake. Soothing in the cold water, a female puma was lying on her back, letting her face, front torso, and feet feel the bathing sun. She swiftly stroked her arms on the water, making minor splashes and humming softly to herself. She remained in the water, like lying in the floor and enjoying the soft current and humid wind soothing her relaxed body.
She lifted slowly her arms up and made a soft backstroke, making small kicks with her clawed feet. She then lowered her arms down on the saltwater and kept her posture up in the lake. She hummed a bit louder, trying to soothe her mind and spirit, as she was alone in the lake.
Then, below the lake, while on top was light and peace, below was dark and sand, as something was staring at her backside. Something watching her dark grey colored fur, white-red striped bra and panties, something quiet watched above the water.
Unknown to anything around her, the female puma took a deep breath to smell the fresh air and went back to humming.
Below the water, watching her flap her feet a little, something below kept its stare at the innocent feline. Watching in deep silence as it watched the female puma lay on the saltwater.
The female puma bent her neck down, putting her fluffy ears on the water. She made a quiet moan and enjoyed the cold water, enjoying the swiftness and calmness of the lake.
Suddenly, something was coming up. Something fast and silent, a speeding creature lurching itself into the puma. It went for her backside, reaching to her strapped bra and furry flesh.
"AAAAHHHHH!", she cried.
Snatching her body with two arms wrapped around her torso, a male cheetah laughed out loud. He held the female puma and laughed while she screamed to death from the panicked snatch.
"OH! RICK, YOU PRICK!", she yelled at him.
The male cheetah dropped the puma to her feet, allowing her to touch the sand. The male cheetah smiled with his teeth showing and enjoying the frightening prank to his feline girlfriend.
"You should see your face! Rex, that was good!"
"You asshole! I'm trying to relax, and you had to disturb my peace!"
"Lexi, baby. Come on. It was a good prank."
"Oh, I will show you a prank.", Lexi said.
She pushed the male cheetah's chest and forced him down on the water. The male feline fell on the water, chuckling for his own fun amusement. Annoyed, but feeling calmer, Lexi jumped at the cheetah, the two giggling and laughing in the quiet lake. The cheetah lifted himself up, while also grabbing his feline girlfriend to his hands.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry, baby.", he said.
"Next time, just warn me. You know I don't like being scared.", said Lexi.
"But you're a puma. The strongest and sexist one I ever met.", he said, putting his snout on her left neck, making some nips.
"Ahh, Rick, not here. Please, baby.", said Lexi.
Rick put his head up and looked at the puma, her head reaching to his chest while her fluffy ears reached his lower part of the neck. The two reconciled and had their arms wrapped on each other's torso. The cheetah had his arms around her like a hanged rope while the puma had her hands and fingers planted on his muscular chest. The two loving felines placed their foreheads together and looked deep in the eyes.
"I'm sorry I interrupted your peace time. Just wanted to engage in something intense.", said Rick.
"It's okay. I freaked out over nothing. I don't blame your charming style.", said Lexi.
"So, you forgive me?"
"Of course. You're an asshole, but I love you being one anyway."
"Thanks, babe."
The two then pressed their snout together, placing their sharp wet tongues on each other, while the cheetah stroked her back, both purring very loudly. Lexi purred vibrantly and moaned from the male's smooth touches, while Rick made small purring growls under his throat and chest. She kept her hands on his chest, to feel his loud purr travel down her dark grey fur, and to feel his gentle kiss. Rick wanted to go lower, as he placed his hands around her feline bottom.
"Such a nice ass.", he whispered.
"Thanks.", she moaned happily.
The two kept their warm felt kissing, body massaging, and their close contact without letting go. They held the long kiss, twisting and shifting their necks around, feeling loved by their gracious souls. Before the male cheetah had the initial thought of taking of the female puma's panties, she dropped her hands down and snatched his hands with a firm grip. The kissing stopped and Rick looked at her in the eyes with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you stupid, as well?"
"What? I was being genuine."
"I'm not going butt naked in a lake. Plus, there might be some creepy pervert already watching us."
"Lexi. No one's here, but us. I picked this area because it's usually for engaging couples. Plus, I booked this place for at least two days without public intervention."
"Still, we're not far from the neighbors or the town."
"Babe, you worry too much. It's a peaceful lake. Nothing bad happens here. And we're carnivores. So, I doubt anyone will be messing with us."
""Sign" I guess you're right. I complain too much. Sorry, Rick."
"Hey. It's alright. And if you're not comfortable doing it here in the open, that's why we have the RV. We can do all sorts of things there.", Rick said, being dirty with brows raising.
"You silly goof."
She landed the kiss on the cheetah's lips, the two going back for a second round of affection and fondness. This time, Rick put his hands back up her waists, controlling himself to not lower it down to her panties again, to respect his girlfriend's privileges. Lexi placed both her hands on her boyfriend's snout, her fingers touching his smooth wet fur and her claws tickling his ears. The two held the kiss for a brief minute, until the male cheetah unattached from the kiss.
"Hey, want a drink?", he said.
"Drink? Now?"
"Yeah. Why not?"
"You just had one five minutes ago. Let alone, four today. Should I be limiting how much you drink?"
"Oh, babe. You know how much I like the tasty flavors. And it's not beer. So, that should count as something."
"I mean it's better, but it's not healthy as well. You could damage your liver."
"It's one drink. Please?", Rick said, begging as he held her waist.
Lexi grunted and just allowed the male cheetah to get his fifth drink of the day. "Fine. But after that, once we have dinner, you're drinking water. Understood?"
"Yes, Mom. I understand."
"You-"
Lexi gave him a soft punch on the left shoulder, Rick chuckling in a silly laugh. Lexi could not help but laugh as well, enjoying her soothing time in the water and with her masculine cheetah boyfriend. She watched the male cheetah walk back to the solid surface, where was a rented parked campsite for personal couples. She watched him walk back, watching him in his black swim shorts, and already seeing that he was shivering. Despite having fur, when wet, especially with the sun slowly heading down, she watched Rick wrap his arms around his body and shiver with his shoulders up.
Once he got out of the water, he shook his body to get rid of the wet water from his fur and went for a long towel to wrap his body around. He walked barefoot on the wooden miniature sticks and bark, while he climbed three steps onto a white RV. He opened the door and went inside the 13 foot and 6 inched automobile, while closing the door from behind to keep the bugs such as spiders and mosquitoes out.
Lexi smiled with a light grin, shaking her head of what a handsome goofball her boyfriend was. She kept her watchful grin at the RV, until she heard close splash from behind. She turned her head quickly, her feline instinct on, and her eyes looking around the close sound. She saw some rigid current a few meters away, then went silent returning to its calm state.
"Probably a small fish.", she muttered to herself.
She then looked back at the RV, with her carnivore senses alerted.
Under the water, while walking down with the sand rising form the forced footsteps, something was looking at her. Watching her bouncy butt and wriggled tail on her panties, coming close to her thighs. Something below the water coming close for the female puma.
With her waist covered by the saltwater, she had a dirty idea popped into her head. She then grinned wildly, smiling with her sharp teeth, making her idea real. she was going to impress her male cheetah boyfriend by taking off her bra.
"Now, you will get something.", Lexi whispered.
She reached for the straps behind her back and placed her claws around the elastic. Before she had the chance...
"GRRROWl!"
In a fast motion and whooshing water, something captured the female puma's right leg. She was dragged down but lifted her upper torso. She let out a blood-curling scream as something attacked her. The creature below continued to attack, gnawing on the fresh legs. Lexi kicked and twisted her legs around, but only agitated the creature underneath the lake. The creature attacked again, biting her right thigh. Lexi screamed loud like an herbivore being attacked by a predator. The creature under the lake dragged her motionless body, moving her around, as the bitten blood soaked up the clear freshwater. She screamed and screamed, hoping for Rick to rescue her. She was kept on being pulled underwater, trying to keep her nostrils and lungs away from the water. But the creature below kept pulling her down, drowning her while sinking its sharp teeth on her right thigh. The fresh blood traveled up the water, as the clear water was engulfed with dark red. She was dragged down again, into the clear water, screaming her life out in the gargling lake. She then popped out again, to quickly look around to escape.
To her right, she found a float dock in the middle of the lake, only 4 feet away from her. She swam towards the wooden dock, getting to the metal ladder attached to the lifeless float. Splashes of intense kicking and the thick blood gushing out from the wound, Lexi believed she could make it. But once she put her two clawed hands on the rails, it was too late to lift her entire body up to solid safety. She was then dragged down into the clear saltwater, the creature digging it's mean sharp teeth under her fleshy fur.
She screamed and screamed, the sounds of her high-pitched horrendous cries not saving her at all. And this time, she was going to be eaten alive, deep in the clear abyss of the lake. The blood run red on the water, as the flesh was starting to get ripped. Before meeting her final end, she made one cry for help, the loudest crack of her voice echoing the late afternoon lake.
"RICK!"
Then, in a quick moment, after her last cry, she made one more sickening cry, until her entire body was dragged under the saltwater. Large bubbles and splashed water currents came up, as the body was swallowed in the water and the screaming dying low. All that came out besides the bubbles and forced currents, was the dark red emerging in the saltwater, the thick blood thinning out its last drops of pure fresh.
Coming out the RV with loud music inside, Rick came out with a soda bottle in his hand. Unaware of his puma girlfriend's echoing cries, he looked around the steady lake and searching with his dilated pupils on the horizon.
"LEXI! I GOT MYSELF A PURPLE GRAPE! YOU WANT ONE TOO!", he shouted. But he when he scanned the entire lake, there was no response or appearance anywhere. His silly grin lowered down when he didn't get his call back. "LEXI! WHERE ARE YOU?" He looked around the lake, his chest moving with breathing panics, and his eyes looking around the area. He placed the soda bottle on a counter of the RV and jumped down the three stepped machine, running down the grassy and wooden bark on the ground.
Once he got down, he then looked behind the RV, thinking that she might be pulling a prank. After finding that she was not there, he walked out the center backside of the vehicle and went back to the lake. "LEXI, WHERE ARE YOU? BABY, THIS ISN'T FUNNY! I DO THE PRANKS! LEXI!" He started to freak out. His fur bristled and horripilate, the inner fear of being alone. He felt his fur sticking up with terror, thinking of what could have happened to his puma.
His eyes went straight to the float dock, the wooden piece floating in the lake. What caught his eye the next thing, fading blood and a white-red striped bra. He panted heavily and his mind was already given to immeasurable fear. "Oh God. LEXI!"
He ran forward to the lake, his feet splashing the water and large spatters flicker from the saltwater. He slowed down as the heavy water force gripped his weight and height, making it impossible to go quicker. He twisted his body, jerking every limb of his two legs, moving as fast to the blood-soaked part of the area.
"LEXI! PLEASE, SAY SOMETHING! LEXI!"
His lower body and torso were half consumed by the saltwater, as he was getting close to the bloody area. Once he made it there, he saw the blood getting stuck on his fur, clean fresh liquid blood touching his bright yellow and white fur. He breathed hard and panicked with fear, his eyes wide like a gutted fish, and his jaw open from his uncontrolled heavy panting. His eyes then darted the bra and he walked forward to retrieve it. He was mortally horrified by the next result.
He picked up the bra and held it in his hands, his feline body shaking with tingling nerves and stress, finding a cloth for a women's protective body part.
"Lexi. L-Lexi.", he mumbled, with tears coming down his eyes.
As he held the bra in his hands, loss grew on the cheetah's mind. He shivered as tears came down from his eyes. He shivered with grief and saddened inner ruin, the cheetah put the bra on his snout, and wept silently. But before he could cry more or conclude of the blood, a moderate swoosh of a soft splash came behind. Rick stopped his silent crying, but his body tensed into a stiffen conjured horror. He held the bra in his hands but felt something came from behind. With courage, he shifted his eyes to the left, slowly turning his body to the sound.
In slow movements, he turned around to find the splash. His body in front to where the RV sat dormant in its parked space, he looked down at the small current of the saltwater. He shivered at the sight of the current, only for it rise bigger and bubblier. His eyes were wide, and he lost the touch of his own heart and breathing taking normal pace. Instead, he was next for the creature's second buffet. In fast seconds, a giant splash jumped out of the saltwater and attacked Rick.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", he screamed, with the sound of a quick offscreen bony bite.
Then, silence took over. The lake remained calm. Only now...
Something evil lurks beneath the once peaceful lake of Ender.
