SHORT STORY "How much farther?" "A day, maybe two." Brass loosened the strap on his horse's saddle. "We aren't far." It was edging toward darkness, and the partners were readying to settle in for the night. "That mutt of yourn about?" Ruddy glanced around, but Brass was shaking his head. "He's off catchin' supper. He'll be along." "I hope he-" A high-pitched scream drowned out his remark. For one horrible second they registered the sound of agony and panic, then as one man they mounted up and urged the horses into a run, rifles drawn and ready. The loud BAM BAM BAM alerted them the man ahead wasn't helpless, and they heard the frantic barking of a dog before the mutt gave a high squeal. Another panicked wail guided them through the gathering darkness, and they rushed up through a stand of trees, breaking over a ridge above a grisly scene. A broken, bloody body lay crumpled and still up against a rock. Half a dozen feet away was the lifeless form of the dog that had been barking. Center stage was a massive grizzly, brutally, efficiently killing a second man pinned beneath him.

Book 1 of the Beast series. Dragons live among us. They look human in one form, but they are anything but. If you ever see a dragon in their true form run. Run for your life. **excerpt** I would know that dark hide anywhere. Those green eyes that bore into mine. He's the biggest of the three, but he's always been bigger. The group surged forward, grabbing at him. He couldn't defend himself because of the muzzle. They started stabbing at him. I froze. I couldn't move at all. "Now you show emotion." A deep voice behind me said. I whipped around and came face to face with The Boss. "Do you sympathize with the beast?" He asked me. I continued to stare at him. I only broke eye contact when I heard the black Dragon roar. I turn around to see someone about to stab a sword through the soft spot in the dragon's hide. "Francis!" I yelled. Before I could even think, I was sprinting toward them. I tore the sword from the Hunter's hand. As soon as the sword was in my hand I whipped it across the guy's neck.
