As you wander through the pitch black forest, you nearly jump out of your hide when you step on a stick. Your weight causes the branch to break in two, and a loud SNAP echoes across the area. "this was a terrible idea" you whisper to yourself. Your friends back at the campfire dared you to take a walk out here and you regret every second of it! Your nerves are going haywire, every little noise startling you. Just when you begin to calm down you hear a loud "UUURRP!". You immediately turn around and see a looming figure in the darkness. "heh, excuse me" the silhouette says as it steps out from the shadows. It's a Catterna... a very full Catterna. You look down at the feline's belly, which is practically spilling out from their midsection. You can see the imprints of people desperately pushing out against the gut that has ensnared them. "These guys are your friends, right?" the Catterna says as he pats his tum with a devious smirk. All you can do is nod nervously in response. "yeah, that makes sense, I noticed an extra scent back at the campsite, so I followed it. It took me a while, but I finally found you. " he explained casually. You start to slowly back away as he talks. "Now that I have, I guess it's time for dessert~" With terrifying speed, the feline closes the distance between the two of you almost instantly. Picking you up off the ground as if you were as light as a doll. "don't worry, I'll let you and you're friends out eventually. But it'll probably be a while, so you best get cozy!" The Catterna says, a devilish grin plastered on his face. As your new captor began to open his maw wide to let you in, all you could think to yourself was "At least I have a 'tent' now."

Ta-Da! I hope you all liked this short story along with the art. It takes place sometime before Ditch The Wild when Plava was a tad bit more dominant with his prey.
