It was a rather peaceful day in the wooded area. A few birds chirped peacefully as the sun shone down on a lake within a peaceful clearing. It would be a perfect spot for camping and relaxing. And that was what one of the island's occupants decided to do.

Sitting down by the lake as it gazes at it's reflection sat Terasmus. It's tongue laid down upon the ground as it was sitting in a puddle of sticky saliva. It emits a quiet rumble as it says nonchalantly, "Me am feeling kinda hungry. Me wonder if me find yummy tasty things today." It then holds it's tummy as it grumbles in frustration. Then a whimper suddenly is heard from it as it retracts it's tongue back.

Then it flexes a three fingered clawed hand as it peers over it. The tentacle suddenly bursts free from the bump and wriggles and writhes about as it smiles. And then it finally says, "Maybe me plays with it first before me eats it up. Me always find its more fun to play with yummy things before me eats them up."

Then it stands as it stomps one of it's two toed clawed feet in the ground. It then starts to trudge through the forest. It's body accidentally slams into a volley of trees nestled together which sends them crashing down. It emits a giggle as it says, "Stupid falling things aren't tasty at all. Me want somethings tasty! Me find tasty thing very soons, yes!"

Jag was wandering through the forest as usual. She SHOULD have been in detention, according to the matron at her dorm. Of course, based on what happened last time she had detention…

…Jag shuddered…

… and really, it’s not like her constant breaking of the dress code was hurting anyone. Sure it pissed some people off but she was usually more covered, at least as far as her legs were concerned, than with those skimpy little school outfits.

At any rate, she found her apparently poorly dressed self heading out for a walk to calm herself as she often did. She might even stop by her favorite lagoon and meditate on the way by. She looked down at herself and again tried to access what the big deal was… maybe it was that she was showing too much cleavage? The tight, white tank top did dip a little lower than most would probably consider school acceptable. It certainly couldn’t have been the heavy black cargo pants… unless maybe it was that chain though… or that they dipped low enough on one side to show her hip, and the string of her black cotton thong.

Her thoughts snapped to other matters as she heard an incredibly loud crash. She must have been in a good mood as she was sure she heard a tree fall down. Normally her first thought should have been… monster… run. Today for some reason the thought that came to mind was… ‘if a tree falls in the woods and nobody’s around…’

None the less she ducked off the path and behind a tree, waiting to see if something was around her.

It continues to wander through the woods nonchalantly as it's globular "jelly" like eyes wobble about. And they don't blink at all considering that it doesn't possess any eyelids. It sniffs the air as a frown formulates on the mouth it sports as it says in a deep rumble, "Oh... me tummy is feeling very hungries now! Me needs to eats soon or me go crazy and smash more falling things till me finds tasty things!" It then peers around as it's tongue leaped out, trying to find something that may seem like it's even remotely tasty before retracting it back.

Then it's tummy growls angrily as it clutches it in one three fingered hand. It then decides to check a nearby pathway which would lead to the clearing. It wonders if any of the other occupants of this island knew about the lake. In it's mind, it thought, Me hope tasty thing comes relaxing by lake. Then me surprise it. Me now hide as tree or bush. Then me sneak up and surprise the tasty thing!

Then suddenly it's body started to go into a clear-like gel state for a brief bit. Then suddenly it melted as it reformed into the nearby tree it was standing next to. Then it peers around with it's eyes to gaze out from the tree as it watches the pathway. Then it thinks to itself, Now me be ready. Hopefully me plan will work. Me want to be quiet so no cause alarm.

The student could swear she heard a voice not far away, something deep and big… but at the same time she didn’t get a really threatening feeling from it. None the less… she did have some experience with the inhabitants of the woods and she crept from tree to tree instead of staying on the path, still headed for the lagoon where she could hopefully get a better look around, but wary of anything that might be around her.

Her chest swelled against the tight top with each breath in, lifting the garment a little to reveal a small patch of her smooth midsection. Her long, flame orange hair stayed behind her as the wind whipped between the trees.

Finally reaching the clearing, she nestled behind a particularly large tree and peered out over the area… the waters were calm, nothing else stood on the shore… maybe it was all in her head… she had been pretty stressed this week, and after the last attack out here, maybe she’d gotten just a little paranoid… she eased out from behind the tree to stand in front of it, putting her hands on her hips and surveying the area once more just to be safe…

It licks it's lips as it gazes over the form of a lithe, succulent red haired girl from the tree it was melded into. It rumbles deeply as it thinks, Oh, she looks tasty! Me wonder if she let me taste her before me play with her! It started to feel really giddy inside as it so wanted to just pounce on the girl and just wrap her in a bearhug and start slobbering all over her form, licking and lapping her with lots and lots of tongue action.

But... it tells itself... to be patient as it watches the girl. It hoped to catch her in a moment of peace and contement before it would make it's move. That would be the perfect time to surprise the girl. Then it'd have his way with her.

Jag sighed. There wasn’t anything around as far as she could see… maybe she was losing it. Time to relax a little, she thought to herself.

The girl walked back to a smaller tree, not the one she had hid behind, and slowly, almost like a cat, lay down in between it and the pool of water, its shade covering the girl from the sun. She lay back and brought her hands above behind her head, shutting her eyes and trying to meditate, or at the very least relax. She didn’t know how easily it would come today, as fidgety as she seemed to be.

As she lay back, the tank top further lifted along her form, clearing up to her belly. Her chest gently rose and fell as she lay there.

Slowly uncongeals it's form as it started to slowly but surely approach the girl. It flexes it's hands and relaxes them as it crept closer and closer. It sniffs the air as it thought, Me think she be peculiar. Her scent smells unique. But it smells like candy, too. Terasmus love sweet smell of candy lots! It then emits a quiet rumble as it stood above the girl, gazing over her as it licks it's lips.

It reaches down to it's tummy and gives it a gentle rub as it slowly settles itself down into a sitting position. Then it decides, Me play gentle Terasmus. Then me play game with her. She run, me chase, me catch her... then me play with her even more and she let me enjoy her tastiness, yes! That be good plan.

Then it reaches up to the girl and tentatively nudges at her with a clawed finger from one of it's three fingered hands as a weird smile forms on it's face. Then it says, "Hi, me Terasmus... who be you?" It then starts to sniff over the girl's form to take in more of her scent as it emits a happy rumble.

Jag had nearly fallen asleep when she heard the weird rumbling again, so she wondered if it was just her imagination. Then something was poking her in the side… something sharp. She opened her eyes and was greeted by a towering behemoth of a creature sitting by her, strange, almost fish-like eyes, jelly-like, looking down at her… huge eyes.

She screeched and kicked back away from it a few feet until it spoke. It almost sounded… like a child, or some kind of unintelligent thing… which, she reminded herself, didn’t mean it was necessarily nice.

“I’m… Jag. What... are you Terasmus?” she replied, not sure what to make of it… she didn’t like the way it was looking at her, it was either looking for someone to play with, or going to eat her… neither option sounded good to the girl.

It tilts it's head, suddenly confusion swept over it as a frown forms on it's face as it ponders briefly. Then it says, "Me am Terasmus! That what me be! Me think Jag fun. So we play game. Jag play game with Terasmus, yes! Fun, happy game we play, okay?" It then emits a giggle as it licks over it's lips, a puddle of drool forming below on the grass as it watches the girl.

It then tentatively sniffs over the girl again, trying to learn about this peculiar scent from her. It was a perfume of some kind that made her smell attractive to it as it stretched out it's tongue to give her a lick.

The teen further kicks away from it as it tries to lick her, it’s tongue wet and disgusting against her cheek. It was like some kinda talking dog… only… large enough to crush her if it wanted.

“Uh… terasmus… what kind of game to you want to play… I don’t really… ah…” she said, trying to make it to her feet. Despite the way it talked, the sheer size of it scared Jag. There was no way she’d be able to fight it like some of the other monsters if she had to.

It rumbles deeply as it stood up as it inched it's way nearer to her. It extends it's tongue even further to try to lick at her, trying to taste her as it says, "We play fun game. It called "Chase!" You run away, me chase you... if me get you... me play with you, okay?" In it's head, it thought, After me play with you, girl. Me eats yous ups! It then starts to dance about all giddily as it claps it's three fingered hands together, causing it's tongue to flop around like a deflated balloon as sticky saliva splatters about.

“Ugh! I’d… really rather not play with you right now dear… could you find someone else to play with maybe?” She said, trying to remain calm and not show her fear of this thing. She managed to get to her feet and dodge its tongue, though got some of its saliva on her pants and even shirt as it wagged its massive tongue about. None the less, she looked about for a possible avenue of escape… she wondered if it could swim… probably. The next obvious path was the path itself, the cutout between the trees and vines…

It emits a growl of frustration as it retracts it's tongue back. Then it says, "Me want to taste you. Me want to know what your tastiness be like! Me taste you now." Apparently it was serious... but it's tone of voice made it seem like it was joking. Then it suddenly sauntered it's way towards the girl. Then it stops just mere inches from her as it bends down, gazing at her right in her face as it utters the word, "Run," to her.

I hope this'll incite her to run so me can chase her. Then me catch her and play with her, it thought as it gazes at the girl. It noticed she was confused, abit afraid, but still it was a mixture of both. But it payed it no mind.

Jag didn’t think it was funny or playful the way this thing was talking to her. Her eyes went wide as it stomped its way over to her and leaned down to her face, telling her to run. She did exactly that.

The teen bolted for not the path but the thick jungle of trees. She theorized it might be so big that maybe it couldn’t make its way through the foliage as quickly as her, and she prayed she was right, because if she wasn’t, nobody would find them.

It roared loudly in happiness as it tromped it's way after her. It's body slams into the trees as they fall over with loud crashes as six tentacles suddenly erupt from the bumps on it's back. Then two more suddenly erupt from the palms of it's hands as it eagerly licks it's lips. Then it says in a snarl, "Me gonna get you, girl! Me get you. Then me play with you!" It then suddenly swung out with it's two tentacles at it's palms and knocked down even more trees, sending them crashing down.

Oh, this be fun! Me having fun! Me loving being vicious and scary! She so funny being all scared of me!, it ponders as it continues to eagerly chase after the girl. It wanted to keep her on her feet till she became tired and she'd need to rest and that is when he will snatch her up.
