Chapter Six
Cerberus rose from his perch on the dead tree, caught between two rocks. Leo had picked the spot because it was angled in such a way it gave him a view of the new campsite and the surrounding areas.
“I thought you were going to bed?” Cerberus grinned. “Not go jerking off to the sound of your doxies.”
Leo cut him a look. The toothy grin he got back was almost inhuman.
“Is it true your mother was a hyena?”
“Is that a question, or your attempt to insult me?”
“A question.”
“Then it's a stupid one. She was a human just as your mother was.”
Leo shrugged. “Well, the rumors, you know how they go.”
“My father was the hyena.”
Leo stopped mid step.
When Cerberus spoke, his tone was flat. “Some missionary men came to the village to teach the savages about God. The head of our village listened to their story. He figured out very quickly what they came for was gold. We didn't have any gold but he knew they would never believe them. He told them we didn't need their God. We had the land, the animals, and the sun and moon. The preacher threatened them with hell and damnation as they left. A few days later a group of them returned. They killed some of the men and took their wives and daughters.
“After they were done with my mother she was taken elsewhere. They'd been fighting hyenas they'd trapped, and placing bets on which would win. They thought it would be funny to make her wear the skin of a hyena bitch and coat her pussy in the blood of a female in heat. They put her into a pit. Then they watched while the males fought each other for the right to mate her. I doubt they really thought the animals would do it. They probably figured she’d panic, try and run, and then they’d tear her apart and eat her. But my mother was a tribal woman and she knew the animals. She knew it was better they think she was a hyena than know she was human. So she remained on her knees while the Crocuta who won each fight bred her.”
Cerberus opened and closed his hands. Hair covered his knuckles, his arms, and chest. He shaved but it seemed like it only took an hour before his beard was back. It never got very long, but it somehow changed his features, making him look more animal than man.
“What happened to her?”
He shrugged. “I guess they got tired of the game and left her in the pit to die. But she got out. As far as I know, she didn't try to go back to her village. I guess she was ashamed of what'd been done to her. So she wandered the woods, living off roots, berries, insects, or whatever small game she could catch until she was too heavy with child.
“Then she gave birth, but was too weak to run and hide when the smell of blood brought the Crocuta.
