The forest was dark and silent as you traversed it, path illuminated only by the light of the bright full moon above you. Strolling leisurely, you raised an eyebrow as you heard something moving from within the darkness around you. A howl pierced the still night air.

Stepping out from amongst the trees, a massive beast revealed itself to you, standing tall against the dark backdrop of the forest. Towering over you, it smiled, claws sharp and gleaming faintly under the light of the moon.

“What’s a pretty thing like you doing out here? How about supper, just the two of us?”

Salivating, Cane followed close behind you, waiting for your answer. As his Keeper, you allowed him to maintain his sanity while he was transformed. However, even though his sanity remained, he was still buffeted by the gnawing hunger that appeared each time he transformed.

Trying to help, you first directed his hunger towards animals, stealing chickens and cows from farms in the middle of the night. But, in what came to be known as the “Red Moon Incident”, Cane developed a taste for human flesh, and you found yourself in the possession of an exorbitant amount of cash.

Spending the next few days living lavishly, you and Cane soon used up all the money. Wanting more, the two of you began to involve yourselves in the underworld’s dealings, leveraging the power that Cane held in his transformed state to your advantage.

Tonight, after hearing of a fancy charity ball being held in the Frazier Museum, you snuck in with Cane, setting him loose on the attendees. As he ate his fill of the patrons, you sat on the stage, legs crossed and counting out the money from the donation box. Hearing the now familiar sound of police sirens drawing closer, you brought two fingers to your lips, whistling to catch Cane’s attention.

Grabbing as much of the cash as you could, you and Cane took the escape route you had planned out earlier.

“How about it, hm?”

Begging behind you, Cane panted heavily, claws flexing as he stared at your back.
