(( you can use this to lead into Natalie's situation in at a later date AND you don't have to use this information right away you can keep going I'll likely make a post closer to the two of you ))

Alistair was a cruel task master. Hunting these things in the dark and alone was pointless, but it was always the say. Alistair yelled, "I need another, Ivo." And Ivo ran out to get it.

Today Alistair wanted a dog thing. Our nests were running dry. Ivo had to go closer to the streets to find an untainted one. It was getting harder and harder to find them. Everything in the tunnels was tainted with Alistair's failures. Soon there would be nothing left to bring him. But Alistair didn't care. Rumors had it he was looking for human specimen now. Ivo was glad he wasn't on that one. It was bad enough they had lost a man to something in the tunnels.

It was butchered and mauled and Ivo didn't want to think about the man who had been alive while it all happened to him. It was torturous just to think about he couldn't imagine it in the flesh. Or imagine what had done it to him. The pure evil of that thing.

Ivo was heading for a dog thing nest - these were worse than the rotting zombie types. If these bit you you were fucked. You became like them. A monster feeding on blood and spreading your filth through a bit. It was very vampire lore like except these weren't vampires.

The nest was around the corner and Ivo heard scratching noises close by, but there were voices up ahead which made Ivo freeze. He hoped they'd go away soon. He didn't want their deaths on his hands.
