In the Heart of the Woods

There were an ancient temple. Deep in the woods. In the heart of the bush. Forgotten, ruined and left at the nature's mercy. And ancient legends told, that a sacred chalice was left there, when an eldritch race, which built the temple before the time had begone.

She-werewolf nervously took a smell, but the wood's forest was smelling only mushroom, rotten trees and dampness. She took a smell again, trying to catch a barely perceptible breeze. And she smelled a kind of an ancient magic. She was at the right way. A wolf-girl ran forward, trying to move completely silent. She had a very bad feeling about her task, but her vampire companion was very clear: or she will get the chalice, or she will regret that she was born.

So, she-werewolf reached the heart of the forest. No she smelled a strong ancient magic. She amazedly looked around, seeing how powerful and strong are the trees around the ruins. Finally she saw the chalice. It was still on the altar, which was surround by a few pillars left from the temple. She-werewolf grinned contentedly.

"Perfect! It is mine!" she said and walked forward.

Suddenly she saw a strange motion in an old stump. It looked just like it was growing. She-werewolf blinked and when she opened her eyes, she saw a slim beautiful girl with a green leaves on her head. It could be only a dryad!

"Halt!" dryad said "What do you think, you're doing?"

"Get off my way, you, peace of wood!" wolf-girl said "That is non of your business, what am I doing here! Just get lost!"

"I see!" dryad said "Many walked into the heart of the woods, few of them returned. You're more natural beast, then a human! Don't you feel, that this ancient temple became a reservoir of a woods strength very many years ago? Don't you feel, that my wood will just die, if anyone will corrupt it? Better listen to me, wolf maiden! Just turn your back and walk away! You should be a nature keeper, just like me!"

"Bullshit! Just don't step my path, talking wood! I came here for this chalice, and I will take it with me, do you like this or not! Just step aside, or I'll crush you!"

"Sadly, you don't leave me any other choice!" dryad said and waved to an old tree. She-werewolf groaned, but her anger quickly became a fear, when an old tree suddenly moved and caught her with it's branch. And before she-werewolf could pull herself together, a long, whippy, biting switch suddenly moved and stroke her buttocks very hard and painful. Wolf-girl moaned and sniffed in pain, trying to break the branch, but it was too thick and held her very tight, while a switchy branch continued whipping her plump buttock, making them red and sore.

Stroke after stroke, the switch made she-werewolf howling in pain quite quickly. She squirmed and wagged her bottom, trying to save her butt from the reprisal, but the tree was merciless.

"BAWL!!! HOWL!!! Please! OWIE!!! I will go and never... OWOWEIEE!!! ...come back! OW!!!! I am sorry! HOWL!!! Please, release me! BAWL!!!" she-werewolf whimpered and howled and begged, but dryad finally stopped the tree, only when she-werewolf's buttocks were very very sore and completely covered in dark red, almost blue stripes.

 "Are you sure, you wanted to leave?" dryad asked "Don't you enjoy the fresh woods air?"

"Please! Boohoo!!! Let me go!" she-werewolf bawled.

"If you insist!" dryad smirked.

She-werewolf looked down and only now realized that the tree was holding her right over a thicket of thorny bushes. "No! Not here! No!" she screamed, but it was too late. The tree threw her right into the thorny branches. First a loud crackle was heard and then a very loud howling and screaming.

Vampiress was nervously looking at the door again and again. She knew about a strange eldritch power, which was protecting the wood's ancient hidden treasures, but she hopped, that her werewolf companion will face no resistance, such she was almost a beast herself. But when vampiress heard wolfish howling and whimpering behind the door, she understood, that her companion had failed.

"How dare you to return to me without the chalice?!" vampiress asked angrily, when she-werewolf crossed the threshold, clutching her sore butt and bawling in pain "Stupid animal! Had you forgot, what did I say to you?"

She-werewolf just came closer and lay on the floor, trying to remove the thorns from her red and sore buttocks "Boohoo!!! My poor bottom!" she howled "Bess, just look, what they did to me!!! BAWL!!!"

"Who did?" vampiress looked at her wonderingly.

"Dryad and her damned tree!" she-werewolf bawled in pain "Please! OWIE!!! Help me! It hurt so bad! Please! BOOHOO!!!"

"Ugh! How dare you ask for my help after you failed me?!" vampiress replied angrily, but then looked at her companion's sore and filled but thorns buttocks and set next to her "You did not deserve my help!" she said, starting pulling the thorns out without any nicety, making she-werewolf howling in pain even louder "I give you a simple task and you just failed it! Useless stupid animal!"

"OW!!! But there was... OWIE!!! ...a woods keeper! OW!!!" she-werewolf complained "OW!!! She said... OUCH!!! ...that no one can steal the chalice...OWIE!!! Bess, please! OW!!! Be gentle! OWIE!!!"

"Stop complaining, you, useless wolfish moron! Or I will spank you myself!" vampiress screamed in anger.

Some minutes later vampiress finally removed the last thorns from her sidekick's sore buttocks, leaving her howling and moaning. She looked at broken she-werewolf again and shook her head.

"You did not deserve any my help! So, you owe me again!" she said and put some healing lotion over she-werewolf's sore and swollen buttocks, fully covered with a holes from the thorns "Never forget this, useless beast!"
