And then...they were there. Hundreds of Thousands of insects, ravenous blood-sucking meat-eating insects. The first one that pelted Bearstar's fur felt like as it sucked blood from him and he scratched at it with his claws. But then there were more, much more and he changed into his bear form to help fight them off.
Treepaw heard his sister whimper and held her close, "It'll be fine, don't you worry," he encouraged.
Wolfshine scooted close to Lynxpaw to protect the young one just in case things went terribly wrong.
Daemon let out a scream of pain as the insects devoured, trying to pick off every inch of meat they could. He shook himself so some of them would buzz off, but they didn't quite get the message. Then Daemon picked up his brother and rushed quickly towards the nearby waterfall, jumping into the water. As soon as he touched the water his brother turned into the beautiful coy fish and woke up immediately.
"WHAT IN THE MOUSE OF MICE ARE YOU???!" Leaftaker exclaimed.
"Shh, get down," and then Daemon submerged himself in the water as the bugs that had been on him died and the others flew over them unknowingly. "Look, there's a cave under the waterfall, I'm going in it," he urged.
"Daemon no! There's this vicious creature next to us!" Leaftaker mewed.
"Wait, what?" And that was when Daemon realized Leaftaker was in his cat form with the coyfish next to him which meant...Daemon looked over at his demon and it waved awkwardly. "Oh...Leaftaker, this is my spirit animal...a demon."
