Alynia's breaths were short but controlled as she continued a steady pace on her treadmill. The sun was setting and the orange color flooded through the large glass panels that nearly made up a single wall, on the opposite wall were two doors, one leading outside and the other leading to the locker room and showers. The gym was crowded, full of high quality epuiptment. For some reason the school always wanted the girls to stay in tip top shape, Alynia was a breathing example of their expectations. She looked great wearing nothing but a tight black sports bra and a pair of small red track shorts. Her long black hair was tied up using a red ribbon.

"Hey, Alynia, we're heading back. We both have essays due tomorrow! We'll see you later!" Called two of Alynias friends.

Alynia waved her hand as a good bye and smiled but she didn't have the breath to say anything. Once the girls closed the door Alynia realized she was the only one left in the gym. She shrugged, it made sense it was getting kind of late. But that wasn't going to stop Alynia's work out. She briefly took a break from running to pull out her iPod. Now plugged into her music as well as the steady pace of her feet, Alynia was completely zoned out from the rest of the world.

The demon had recently returned to the island having completed negotiations for delivery of some equipment to continue his work. It was a long boring process when he dealt with his favorite trader who seemed more interested in the bottom line than having any kind of fun. Many hours sitting in talks and arguing over finer points of galatic law had left him stir crazy, and that was followed with a terribly long space ride back to Shokushu which hadn't helped matters in the slightest. He was intent on relieving his stress in a way that only Shokushu could manage to provide for.

Truly a monster's paradise, he began his ritual hunt. He wanted someone with great energy and someone who could endure his tastes in the erotic. So he headed towards the campuses gymnasium, in search of a delectible prey. He used his camoflague ability to remain just next to invisible, as the light blended around him leaving his massive frame hidden unless someone knew what they were looking for.

He walked into the large building which had the lights still turned on. It was promising but never a certainty that anyone was still here as they tened to remain on late into the evening for the students who couldn't sleep. As it was growing late, he walked in and looked around. The lobby area was empty as usual so he headed deeper in passing the enterances to the locker room and the showers that they led to. Passing the steam rooms he sadly noted that the lights were off inside and the timers not set as they tended to be great small secluded rooms to trap the unaware.

He moved into the gym proper which was quite a cavernous building. Up front and off the the right were the mats which were laid out in front of a mirrored wall to allow for students to stretch in front of. To the left side was another mirrored wall with a variety of benches set at all shapes and angles for students to use the free weights that sat either in the racks next to the benches and machines and of course the dumb bells that ran almost the entire length of the mirrors, in a rack just off the ground. Numerous weights were provided up to quantities he found strange considering the mainly human population of the island.

He didn't see anyone in either area so he moved down the center aisle towards the back. Off to the right were courts for basketball, handball, raquetteball and even volleyball. The lights for the courts were currently off behind the glass wall, truly another disappointment. He began to wonder if he was going to have to seek other hunting grounds when his ears caught the soft whir of a cardio machine coming from the back left corner of the amazing complex. Slowly he made his way past the elipticals and stair climbers to where the treadmills sat sandwhiched between the bikes and the ski simulating machines.

It was there he caught sight of a true beauty...

She found the pace of her feet incredibly relaxing as she felt the strains of the day flooding out of her. She was listening to a rather upbeat music and her energy was at a high. She turned her head, which had been staring out the window, to the mirror checking herself on her running form. But instead of evaluating herself the corner of her eye caught something move. Alynia pressed a button to slow down her machine almost positive she had imagined it. "I must've ran a bit harder than I thought.." she muttered trying to make sense of the small phenomenon. She continued at the slow steady pace for a while, her chest bounced softly with each step. After a minute of silence save for her unintentional erotic breathing and the grinding of the machine she decided to press the off switch. Without the sound of the machine it was eerily quiet in the gym.

 Alynia thought nothing more of it as she stepped off walking on to the mats intent on doing some an exercises. Alynia stopped for a moment looking at herself in the mirror. Of course being a girl, naturally she was never satisfied with her own looks. 

She laid herself down on the mat and began doing some crunches her flat stomach flexing slightly with each time she brought her torso up. After a few sets she sat up feeling as if he was being watched. It was an odd feeling that made her very self conscious, but surely alynia was just imagining it all.

The demon wandered back rowards the treadmills where the soft whir was originating from. The beauty stood before him. She was short but her curves fit her perfectly. Her black top hugged her perfectly formed breasts and kept them from bouncing wildly as she strode at her continuous pace. Her long legs were shaved smooth, and glistened slightly from the light sweat she had going. Her legs rose up to where skimpy track shorts barely concealed her well toned ass. It was shapely, yet certainly round and feminine. Her waste was flat and as she breathed deeply and evenly; he could imagine it being not from her current workout but from the paces he intended to put her through later.

As his eyes drank in her pretty sight, he froze when she hesitantly looked in his direction and he could almost swear she saw him. It would have set off alarms in his head had she, but he was secure in his hidden ability.

She warily moved to the mats taking in her own appearance and he couldn't believe she didn't she the absolute perfection he did. She laid on her back, black hair tied by the red ribbon spreading out slightly behind her head and began doing crunches. Her smooth stomach forming the outline of a tough core on each contraction. She was fit, she was sexy, she was new, and finally she was going to be his this night. He was lost for a few moments anticipating and lusting with his eyes, what he would take with his chemicals and body. He watched and waited as she toned the abs his clawed hands would soon run over.

As Alynia slowly transitioned from her curl up to bicycles concentrating more on the lower section of her abdominals. She pushed herself a bit harder than usual as she couldn't shake off the peculiar feeling of having eyes on her. She hoped that the burn of the workout would distract her and it was working in a way. 

All she heard in the room was the sound of the mat creaking with her every move and the sound of her heavy puffs of air. Her iPod lay beside her. After doing a number of sets of bicycles she stood back up. For a moment she debated if she needed anymore ab toning but she decided against it. The weird sensation that she wasn't alone made her want to leave as soon as possible. 

Still she knew it wasn't healthy to end a work out with out stretching so she plugged back into her mp3 player and showed off a bit of her flexibility.  Standing while crossing her legs one over the other she bent over to touch her toes with ease pushing her rear high up into the air. After repeating the same process with the other leg she laid back down on her back. 

She pulled one leg close to her chest while using keeping the other one planted on the floor. Alynia started by first hugging her knee and then expertly extending the leg rather like a split. Unknowingly to her, this stretch looked wonderfully suggestive to anyone who could be observing her from the right angle.  Currently it looked especially provocative as she was wearing both tight and minimal clothing. 

The demon watched as she transitioned to bicycles to work her lower abdominals, she seemed distracted though. Perhaps she did sense his presence. It was an ability many of these humans girls had. Perhaps it was a necessity that had devloped from not being at the top of the food chain for most of their history, that had been a recent change that accompanied their development of tools and technology to become masters of their homeworld.

Lost in his contemplation, he was snapped back to the present in the gym as she stood. Had she been aware of his presence her next actions would have been an invitation bordering on teasing as she bent over and reached for the ground. The demon could feel his loins stirring at the sight of her firm ass presented to him like a gift on a holiday. She then laid on the mat and began pulling one leg at a time up to her ample chest first bending at the knee, and then extending into a modified split position. Her flexibility was surely above average, and he wanted to put it to use in the bedroom arts.

As she flaunted her phyiscal prowess, he found it hard to control his desire. His cock beginning to fill and twitch with anticipation. His momentary lapse of concentration caused his four legged form to appear as a ghastly image in the mirror, standing no more than a foot behind her head where her unusual straight black hair fanned slightly behind her head.

Quick to realize his visibility he regained control and disappeared from sight. His appearance lasting no more than a heartbeat. Was the blink of an eye appearance noticed? He prepared his tentacles and tail to subdue his prey in case it had been.

Her stretches weren’t meant to be teasing as suggestive as they were. She was really just trying to keep up her flexibility and besides, she didn’t expect anyone to be watching. Alynia wanted to cut her stretching a bit short so she decided to raise the intensity a bit higher. She finally lowered herself into an actual split she let out a small groan feeling her muscles strain a bit. Slowly the girl bent backwards, letting her head drop, keeping her hands on the floor besides her to keep balance. Her chest protruded wonderfully in the air. Though this stretch a bit more painful the benefits were great as she flexed her back as well as toned her legs.

Easing herself out of her splits she gave a quick glance to the mirror. Suddenly a flash of what appeared to be bronze stood behind her. Out of the very corner of her eye she thought she had seen something appear and she sat up very quickly. Blinking her eyes she looked around the room, finding that it appeared to be that she was still alone. Taking out her ear buds she listened carefully for a tense moment for any odd sounds. Rubbing her temples she was very confused thinking that she must’ve been more tired than she thought. Looking out the window she saw that that most of the sun had disappeared and it was the florescent lights that gave her a sense false sense of the time of the day.

She was feeling very anxious out now as she stood up brushing herself off. Thinking it’d be best to be done for the day and get a good nights rest she headed toward the direction of the locker rooms. Walking carefully around each oversized piece of equipment she wondered if it was best to go back to her dorm to shower or do it here. Pausing briefly before scanning the room once more making sure there was nothing there she flipped off the switch that clicked off the lights. Alynia thought that no one else would want to use the gym so late on a school night. She walked into the locker room and went to her locker taking out a sports water bottle. As raised it to her lips she found out in dismay it was empty.

Walking over to the water fountain which was located next to the showers she was confronted with the dilemma of whether or not to use them. Alynia wanted to get out of there, but at the same time she knew it annoyed her roommate when Alynia showered when her roommate was resting. She leaned over the fountain drinking a bit of the cold liquid directly before capping her water bottle again.

The demon watched her very normal stretch routine, which to those unfamiliar with a gym, or those who happened to be an invisible horney demon, would find an example of of the erotic. The demon's jaw dropped opened as she did the spilts leaning backwards and the demon knew he had to have his tentacles around her soon.

His momentary laps startled his prey and caused her to end the glorious loosening of her muscles, her cooldown as it were, and to look around removing the earbuds from her mp3 player. She scanned the area and he made sure to freeze not more than a few feet to her side.

He debated following her back to her dorm room and taking her there with less risk of discovery so that he may take his time with her, but the risk of her having a room mate made him decide to risk taking her in the gymnasium. Glancing outside he saw the failing light and his luck held. Late night workouts were rare for those who had been here awhile as denizens like himself stalked the night looking for a sweet morsel to taste.

She truly seemed to be startled and made her way towards the women's locker room. It seemed his lust for her may chase his prey away. He remained frozen as she veered out of the main cooridor and into the changing room, flicking out the lights as she went. He waited until she was gone before he moved. His eyes allowed him wonderous vision in the dark and glowed green. He was about out of the congested area when it wasn't his vision that failed him, but his agility. His wide tail used for dispensing his chemically laden slime banged into a sitting leg press machine. CLANG!!! The noise was unmistakable, but inside the locker room he hoped it was muffled enough to be missed.

Deciding not to leave it to chance, his large form blurred as he made his way to the front enterance to block the doors. Waiting a couple minutes to see if the coast was clear and he could join her in the changing room, or if he had further alarmed his sexy victim...

Alynia couldn't fight her polite nature and had decided to take a quick shower before heading back. She had been prepping to shower, brushing out her hair, trying to find a clean towel and what not. Her soft black hair fell long past her shoulders and she had begun to strip of what clothing she was barely wearing.

But the soft clanging noise of equiptment did not go missed. Her head shot up at the sound as she quickly pulled the sports bra back over her voluptuous chest. Furrowing her eyebrows she told herself it could've easily just been something falling over or a girl coming back because they forgot thier gym shoes or something. Telling herself to go confirm that she was indeed alone, she tied the long black ribbon that originally held up her hair into a bow on her wrist. If only she knew how wrong she was.

Letting out a nervous breath, she couldn't help but continue to feel like someone in a horror movie at the scene where everyone in the audience tells her not to look. "This is dumb." she muttered to herself as she draped a small fluffy towel around her shoulders. "I'm sure it was nothing..."

She stood just behind the door that separated the locker room and the corridor where the entrance and exit was. She slowly weighed her chances. Even though she thought it was nothing, Alynia was, as she should be, scared. Biting her lip the girl slowly pushed open the door.

The thruth was she was in a horror show and like most of the women left attacked by the evil monster she went back to investigate the scary sound, when the right thing to do was to find a way to escape. Most building on earth had fire codes that dictated all building have a minimum of two doors for escape routes, yet this place had been established as a hunting grounds for the monsters and left with one choice of escape (although sprinkler systems mitigated the danger in most buildings). So in the gym for example the front enterance was her best chance at freedom.

Had she been in a horror movie the soft music that played harsh chords would be in full effect as she pushed open the door for the locker room. The demon had been patiently waiting wondering if the noise had alerted her to his presence. His question was answered as she had a towel draped around her sexy body. The clean white towel hung from her shoulders ending midway down her thighs, leaving a breath taking view one again of her toned slim legs.

Her already unnaturally straight hair flowed freely, while the ribbon that had kept it in a pony tail was tied into a nice bow on her wrist. Her hair shone as if recently brushed, all but her shorter bangs that framed her face hung down well past her shoulders. Her cute innocent face that had made her famous back on earth, was full of fear as she made her way into the bright hallway. Only a few feet down the cooridor though, the darkness envelopment the entire cavernous workout area.

The demon decided the have a little fun with the girl and whispered, "you are not alone..." The voice would seem to come from nowhere and be a soft rumble of bass, on edge of being audible. As she walked into the cooridor would she even hear him?

If she didn't hear him he would enjoy the shower she was preparing for, if she does he planned to take the sexy scared little teen soon after building on her fears.

Alynia took a breath tracing her fingers along he wall of the corridor as if to brace herself. But hoping for reassurance she peered into the dark room she had just left scanning around for anything that might’ve fallen on it’s on it’s own. Standing timidly at the doorway, not daring to enter she let her eyes slowly get used to the darkness.

After staring intently at the black outlines of exercise equipment she found the problem. A leg lift machine had fallen out of its locked position; Alynia assumed the clang had been loud because of the heavy weights. She stepped into the dark room fumbling around with the machine for a bit heaving it back into its proper position. Though she tried to convince herself that it was just the machine falling on her own, she couldn’t. A horrible feeling that something else was in this large building with her lingered and was slowly knawing away at her conscious. Letting out a nervous puff of air she decided it was probably time for her to go.

Making her way to the front entrance she felt much more at ease as she reached for the cool steel door handle. She could practically see the fresh night air that awaited her as the door was made of one way glass. The door was a window to who ever was inside, but a mirror for who ever tried to look into the building. But suddenly a moment of dread flooded through her as she tugged the handle. Pulling it a few more times in disbelief, she groaned. It wasn’t budging, how horribly teasing it was for her to be able to see the outside so close, but she was not yet willing to try breaking the door just to get escape.

Alynia sighed heartily, she really wanted to get out of the creepy gym, but Alynia had heard of this door malfunction happening before. Usually students swiped their IDed school cards to gain access to their state of the art gym, library, and various other recreational buildings. The faculty had said that is was so they could keep track of the use of the facility, as well as to give each girl a more realistic sense of freedom while still keeping tabs on them. Alynia had heard that it wasn’t uncommon for the doors electric security system to screw up locking the door from the outside as well as from within. What she didn’t know that the school had set it up this way so it would be more convenient for hunters to capture their prey.

It was then Alynia thought she heard something, but wasn’t entirely sure. It was like a cold low rumble that rang through the hallway. She turned around meekly, a scared expression etched on her face. She hadn’t clearly heard the words, but the meaning was made clear enough. The idea that she was alone was slowly and slowly becoming more unlikely to the girl, but she still was unaware of who was with her, and why. “Hello?” Alynia called out nervously feeling a bit silly.

The demon was enjoying her apparent fear as it was almost palpable as she creeped nervously out of the locker room. She made steady progress toward the legs press machine admirably making her way around the various machines in the darkness. She returned the fallen leg press back to its normal safety position and the demon considered taking her there, but so far was content with simply watching.

She decided she had had enough and made her way towards the exit, long towel draped over her slender shoulders and tried the door. Not a magical being he had simply engaged the manual locks, which were two bolts along the floor. Even with the minute light coming in from outside it was next to impossible to see unless you happened to be an alien species possessing incredible night vision.

She turned back to face the demon, and had she known what awaited her, she would have known that her anxiety was more than justified. Instead her voice came out unsteady and unsure as she called the normal human greeting.

He thought about responding, but instead he did the most terrifying thing of all, nothing. He had found these humans possessed imagination that was second to none in creating mental games of their worst fears. He didn't let the stillness last for.more than a minute though, an eternity when your fears rule your rationale.

After a few moments he decided to raise the stakes a little and extended a tentacle to slam open the door to the girls locker room. SLAM. The sound of the door striking the wall reverberated through the air and he dashed towards her in the flickering of the light as the door swang open then shut. His massive frame a blurring of the half light. In these conditions it would be next to impossible to notice the wraithly form created by his camoflague headed directly at her...

Would she run, trying to make it by him, simply scream her building terror, or beg and plead. The hallway wasn't overly wide but eight feet left his securing her in more than a little doubt on the first try.

Alynia shook as she heard nothing, the silence was torturous to her senses. It felt as if everything was still. But suddenly SLAM went the door causin her to jump back let out a terrified squeak. She was positive that what ever was scarying her out of her wits was definitely real, but still she had no clue what. Even though the beast was standing in her line of vision, his invisibility shielded him rather successfully. Alynia's wide innocent eyes scanned the empty hallway, her knees quivering, completely unsure of what to do. She knew she wanted to get out of here, but the door behind her was not an option and she would rather not walk past the mysterious locker room door.

She was still, biting her lip, caught in a rather misfortunate situation. Making up her mind quickly, she had no choice. Alynia couldn't stay between the empty space of he locked door and the locker room forever. She walked, slowly carefully running her hand on the wall of the opposite side of the slamming door, until she couldn't take it anymore and broke out into a sprint keen to get away as far as possible. Jogging into the dark equipment room once again, she sat down feeling quite defeated on a particularly soft padded exercise bench in the middle of the room. She had selected this bench particular bench on purpose be because she knew from the entrance to the room, a large complex piece of arm toning equipment blocked her from sight.

It was hidden here she contemplated her choices. Well it obviously seemed that she was going to stay the night, she knew that a few doors down was a small rarely used tumbling room for the students who took par in gymnastics. There were bound to be many soft mats for her to sleep on in that room. Thinking about plans sort of distracted her from her bigger problem, she would rather ignore. She raked her brain trying to remember if the school had a kick boxing or karate room where any kind of useful protection would be. She also thought wistfully about the shower she had wanted to take, doubting that it would be a smart option. 

As he moved to secure the girl she had either seen his blur or she had simply had luck on her side. She managed to dart off into the darkness of the main gym area as he turned to make another attempt at her, but she moved with a purpose into the lightless room. The steadied himself, and turned his huge frame around, four legs working in unision eerily simliar to the way a crab moves about.

Spun around he made his way carefully into the darkness, careful to avoid smacking into anymore exercise equipment to give his exact location away to the startled girl. His gleaming cat like eyes were able to see relatively well in the dark only needing the faintest of lights to see well. He scanned the immediate area and saw...nothing.

He moved down the main isle to avoid hitting anything, as he was rather agile, but with four legs, a bodybuilders physique, and a monsterous two foot wide tail these smaller spaces could make manuevering a challenge. He scanned right and left but as he made his way deeper into the workout area he had yet to find his startled prey.

Alynia thought she heard steps, irregular steps very much not like a human. Her breathing caught, her heart was beating like a mouse's. She was too afraid to peep out her head to see what ever it was, but certainly she had no intention to have confrontation. She bit her lip thinking that it was very possible to hear the thumping of her heart, Alynia had never been so scared in her life. Staying close to the ground she crawled out of her hiding spot to find one where she felt more confident. And after a few horrible seconds of crawling then walking on her tip toes she was now sitting behind a piece of equiptment near the mirrors on the other end of the room, she was relieved but still anxious. She was hugging her knees anxiously close to her chest.

The workout room thankfully was unrealistically large, as well as dark. The only light source was the moonlight that shown through the full wall of windows the treadmills were lined facing. Alynia stifled a yawn. It was unbelievable that in a situation like this she was beginning to feel tired. She fought the sleep threatening to overtake her for this was not a time for her gaurd to be dropped. She say still waiting for sounds preparing to keep moving.
