"Fuck, I'm getting tired..." Gabe whined, the hot afternoon sun beating down on him.

He and his buddy Jason had been walking for hours. Though by this point, it felt more like days. It had been Gabriel's brilliant idea to get back to nature, as he'd called it. He and Jason spent too much time indoors playing video games, after all. As it turned out, their trip was a bad idea. A little after an hour into the hike, both were tired, sore, sweaty, and a little stinky.

His friend and companion for this foolish endeavor, Jason, looked no better. His tired eyes gave away how much he hated this hike. He'd found it fun for maybe the first half hour. Now he was just tired, sore, and in desperate need to return to some air conditioning. He figured maybe this was a bit much for a first time out.

"What do you say we head back, dude?" Gabe relented, finally breaking the foolish charade. He was in desperate need of a shower and a cold drink.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired too... This was fun at first, but I think it's gotten pretty old. Let's just get out of here," Jason replied, trying not to sound as winded as he felt.

"Alright bud, let's go," Gabe replied, pausing for a moment to catch his breath and to take a swig of water from his nearly empty canteen.

Gabe turned to start heading down the trail in the opposite direction, Jason close behind. There was no doubt in his mind that they were heading back the way they came. He felt no need to worry; the trail had been clearly marked for idiots like themselves. Sure, there was that last-minute turnoff Gabe was sure would give them a nicer view. But that only took them a few minutes' walk from the last sign.

After about 20 minutes of walking in the opposite direction, however, there was no still trace of a sign that signaled they were on the right path. Surely, they should have stumbled upon one by now. Maybe they had just missed it?

Even though the trail seemed less upkeep the longer they walked, Gabe was determined to keep following it. After all, it had to lead somewhere, right? To their dismay, however, the path soon disappeared. It left no trace in the brush as it tapered off. It was as though the person who had been carving out the trail had simply vanished.

Gabe kept walking forward, hoping that perhaps the next part of the path was simply hidden in the undergrowth. He was only dimly aware of a tingling across his skin, as though he'd walked near an electric fence. Gabe simply shook his head a few times, trying to clear the irritation.

As he opened his eyes again, he suddenly became aware that the forest looked... different. Gabe wasn't an expert on trees, but it seemed as though the woods were made up of more... conifers? Was that right? These trees appeared altered, as though they were in an entirely different forest!

Jason, too, had played off the strange tingle as a side effect of the heat and took a long drink from his water bottle. But it was impossible not to realize that something was off about the foliage. He thought maybe he was just getting paranoid due to dehydration, but drinking more from his water bottle did little to affect his perception. He realized he didn't recognize where they were in the slightest.

"Hey, does this look right to you?" Gabe finally asked, scanning the forest in all directions. There was not a sign or post to be seen. Hell, even the trail they had walked behind them seemed to be missing!

"I don't think so. I think we went the wrong way. Should we go back?" Jason asked, trying to keep the anxiety from his voice.

"Yeah..." Gabe began, starting to feel very unsure himself. "Let's retrace our steps, OK?"

Motivated by their goal, Gabe marched triumphantly back down the path he was certain they'd taken to get here. Yet, after another 20 minutes of futile wandering, it was clear they were no closer to finding familiar ground. If anything, their surroundings seemed even more bizarre. If Gabe didn't know any better, he'd say they were in an entirely different forest!

Gabe sat down, exasperated. "Why the hell isn't this trail better labeled!?" he yelled his frustrations, the nervousness of being lost getting to him. The sun was starting to sink on the edge of the woods, and like morons, they hadn't brought any camping gear.

Jason collapsed next to Gabe, exhausted and frustrated. "I don't know... fuck. Maybe I can get a signal and check Google maps?"

Jason pulled out his phone to check but got absolutely no reception. He honestly hadn't expected to get any signal this far out in the bush, but now it was far more damning since they were lost.

"Shit... I think we're lost out here. Wanna try yours?" he asked Gabe, not able to think of anything else to try. Gabe had a different provider, but it was just as likely that he'd have no luck either.

Even through his sigh of defeat, Jason suddenly swore he could hear a voice nearby, as though someone had whispered. He turned quickly to look but couldn't perceive anything through the thick brush.

"Hey, I think I heard someone! Maybe they can help?" Jason asked. If someone else was here, maybe they weren't as shamefully lost as the two of them.

Gabe looked up from his phone to see a flash of brownish red, reminding him of a fox. But further scanning revealed no sign of anything else, human or otherwise. Even the forest was quiet, as though nothing had been there, to begin with.

"Hello?!" he yelled loudly, hoping for a response.

The likelihood of someone silent being in the woods with them seemed slim. Why hadn't he heard them coming or seen them on the trails before? It didn't matter. Gabe leaped to his feet, desperate to find possible help from this natural hell.

Nearly tripping over a branch, Gabe stumbled forward in the direction of the sound. He quickly righted himself and sprinted onwards, a flash of movement making him bank left. The combination of his moment with the sudden shift sent him pitching forward, and he fell into a tumble against something warm and soft. He grunted as the wind was knocked out of him. Rolling onto the ground for a few moments, the sound of another man grunting caught his attention, and Gabe realized he had found his target.

Gathering his bearings, Gabe looked into the face of a man, maybe a few years younger than himself. Something was off, making Gabe stare a few moments before he realized it. It was the man's ears! They were red and pointed, like a canine's, perhaps a fox?

The man stood up quickly, enough for Gabe to get a proper look at him. From the waist up, he was shirtless, tanned, and toned from hard work and sun exposure. But that was where his humanity ended. Upon closer inspection, Gabe could plainly see that his facial features were not quite human. The fox ears were a dead giveaway. But his nose was slightly blackened, his eyes golden and definitely inhuman. He even had small fangs poking out under his dark lips. He still held a full head of human-looking hair, but there existed an undeniable orange tint. He was covered in a sparse peppering of fur-like hairs, thicker around his navel and his wrists. His hands were dark, thick, and calloused, the fingertips ending with canine-like claws.

His lower half, however, was a different story. Below his waist, the thick chest hair transitioned fully into an orange and white fox pelt. His muscled legs were still mostly human-shaped, though covered in fox fur. His feet were clearly vulpine. The toes were thick and short, their tips ending with claws. His big toe was all but absent, situated up his foot like a dewclaw. His heels were stretched into a digitigrade stance, sturdy-looking enough to explain how he could run swiftly on what should otherwise be impossible hybrid limbs. To top it off, he had a long fox's tail, swishing nervously as he regarded them both with what seemed to be a mix of curiosity and fear.

The other aspect that stood out was his very male genitals. Though his manhood was covered by a sheath, Gabe could see the fox man was very well equipped, much to Gabe's embarrassment. Despite himself, Gabe couldn't force his eyes away from the beast-man's endowment.

"No no no! Humans aren't allowed to see us!" he yelled, suddenly, looking around for an opening to run.

Jason, who had been chasing after his friend, was in time to see Gabe slam into another man, who seemed to appear out of nowhere. It wasn't until the second man stood up again that Jason noticed his bizarre vestige. He gasped in surprise as he took in the other man's animal features. Yet, Jason, too, promptly looked away upon realizing his inhuman genitals were exposed.

"What? Humans are not allowed to see... what are you? Is that a costume? It looks way too real..." Jason commented as he subconsciously snuck another quick glance.

For some reason, Jason found his gaze locked on the man's bestial member for a moment before he finally tore his eyes away. He also noted, with some concern, that he could see the fox-man's tail twitching on its own. There was no way it was fake.

"Are you some kind of fox person?" Jason asked bluntly, baffled at the very idea. Yet he couldn't deny what was before his own eyes. It really did remind Jason of a mythical satyr, though part fox instead of goat.

The fox-man opened his mouth to speak when suddenly a rustle caught their attention. Gabe looked around with horror to see a dozen or so men, all with canine-like features similar to the fox-man. They had the trio surrounded, holding what looked like primitive spears. Despite the absurdity of the weapons, the pointy tips seemed no less dangerous than a gun.

Both men froze, putting their hands up slowly in a gesture of surrender. The question on both their minds was obvious. When the hell did all these creatures get here? There was no way they should have been able to sneak up so flawlessly. Yet the duo was surrounded, obviously threateningly.

A large man with black-furred legs and a tail that made him seem part dog or wolf regarded the fox man. There was an intensity in those golden eyes that even made both humans shudder in fear. "James, what have you done?!"

The fox-man, James, cowered, obviously scared of the beast-man's tone. The air went silent as James shook like a leaf, awaiting whatever punishment the wolf thought befitting.

"Please, we're just lost! We mean you no harm," Gabe pleaded as the fox-man ran into the circle near his animal brethren.

"Yeah, what he said! We're just trying to get out of these woods, we don't mean you any harm!" Jason piped up, hoping the beast-men would show mercy if they surrendered.

The man with the black-furred canine legs turned and growled, baring his sharp, canine teeth. "Quiet human! We'll decide what to do with you shortly," he said before turning back to James "Why did you let yourself be seen by these humans!? Had you not, they might have wandered back through the barrier none the wiser! Now we have to deal with them..."

"I'm sorry, sir," James said, head lowered in a gesture of submission.

To the surprise of both men, the wolf-man's anger seemed to abate at that. The wolf-man patted James's head a little, ruffling his hair before turning back to the humans. With his spear still at the ready, there was no chance of an opening for them to escape. The beast-men had them surrounded and at their mercy.

"Humans, my name is Edward, and I am the leader of this pack. You have trespassed on our lands. There are very few portals to our domain, and it seems that you had the misfortune of stumbling through one. What's worse, you have seen our forms. If you'd found the exit without stumbling upon James, you'd be free to go. But the way we are, we cannot be seen by humans, lest your kind come here and invade our very way of life. We cannot allow you to leave this forest alive..."

Jason trembled at the wolf man's last words, seeing the other creatures move in closer with their spears in response. "Whoa, whoa, wait! We didn't mean to trespass! We didn't even know you were here! And we won't tell anyone you're here, we swear! Right, Gabe?" Jason begged, looking back at his friend with wide eyes.

"Right! We won't tell a soul!" Gabe shouted, very afraid for his life. He froze as the spears drew closer, easily able to poke several unwanted holes in his sides.

The apparent leader paused, holding up a clawed hand to slow his forces' advance. He then looked down at the two humans with an expression of consideration. "And why would we believe that? We have no way of knowing if you'd keep your word. However... there is one other way we can solve this."

"What's the other way?!" Gabe asked, eager for a solution that would not result in their deaths.

The wolf-man grinned. "It's simple. You can't tell on us if you're one of us, now can they, boys?" he said with a laugh as his companions chuckled.

"See, we all used to be human too. Fully human and ugly, like you two. But after exposure to certain... fluids, we became what we are today. Much better than being a smelly old human, in my opinion. Sometimes we offer the change to anyone who sees us if we think they would make good packmates. We honestly haven't had any new blood in our pack for quite some time."

"But otherwise... we cannot guarantee you won't talk. So what's it gonna be boys? Either way, you're not leaving these woods. And I know which one I would pick if I were you," Edward ended with a sheer, one that seemed less aggressive and more lustful.

Jason's face screwed up in confusion as he listened to the wolf man's speech. He didn't fully comprehend at first, partially from the absurdity and partially out of fear for the situation. But slowly, the meaning of the words dawned on him, and Jason's face went pale.

"W-what!? You can't be serious! That's not even possible! You can't really ask us to- ack!" he stopped as an animal man with black and white fur and a dog's tail jabbed him in the side with his spear. It was not hard enough to do any major damage, though enough to draw a small trickle of blood.

Jason seemed to get the message. "Okay, okay fuck... but how would you even change us? W-we really won't tell if you let us leave, we promise!"

"That's simple, and the fun part. Well, maybe not for you, at first. But I'm sure you'll come to love it," the leader smirked, putting down his spear and walking over to Gabe, sniffing his hair as the poor man shivered in fear.

"We simply need to exchange fluids. Mating is the more efficient and least painful way. I guess a bite would do it, but no one wants that. It would take an extended bite to really make sure you started changing, and we aren't were-creatures. It wouldn't heal fast."

"You might not find the prospect appealing at first, but trust me, you'll like it a whole lot more once the changes start," the wolf-man said, reaching down to stroke his ample bulge. In horror, Gabe could see the moist red tip of a canine penis poking up from his sheath.

"We don't wanna kill you, but understand we don't want any humans messing with our way of life. We'd much rather make a couple of new pack mates. We won't force you into one of us against your will, but being part wolf isn't as bad as it looks. Hell, I wouldn't go back to being a human myself if given a choice."

Gabe whimpered in fear of being in proximity of the beast. Even without the spear, he could do fatal damage with those claws. Though perhaps worse was the prospect of rape. Gabe couldn't sit back and let the wolf-man touch him like that. Could he?

"What do you say, boys? We've all been human once, we've got no regrets. And we really would hate to have to kill you, such a waste of some nice bodies..." Edward added, trailing his clawed hand down Gabe's chest and stomach.
