I heard. It rippled through my toes and right up my spine. I felt the hairs on my neck stand up.
     
    "Lacey?" I whispered, hoping it was just her snores. I listened and in the silence I heard the faint sips of her sleeping breath. She wasn't snoring.
     
    "Who's there?" I asked, feeling stupid.
     
    A piece of the forest seemed to separate itself from the whole, a moving shadow slinking out of the darkness. I gasped and staggered backward when the glowing eyes met mine.
     
    "Oh shit, oh shit," I moaned.
     
    The dying firelight glinted off the chestnut coat of the animal so that he seemed to glow with hellfire as he stood in the clearing. It was a bear, immense and shaggy, razor sharp teeth as white as the moon.
     
    I sank to my knees, unable to stand as my heart hammered in fear. "Oh shit," I whispered.
     
    There was a crack of footfall crunching on the undergrowth. The bear turned his head lazily to look behind him, almost as if he was waiting for whoever it was to show up.
     
    I nearly screamed in terror when two more immense shadows emerged from the woods. Three huge bears now stood before me, so massive they dwarfed our tiny tent and the feeble little fire.
     
    I flinched, waiting for the first blow to strike. I clenched my fists and waited for the pain, willing it to be over soon.
     
    But then I felt that rumble again, that one that made me shiver all over as my heart skipped a beat. It was louder this time and I clapped my hands over my ears as the whole air filled with the vibration. The darkness seemed to shimmer along with the sound and I looked up in terror.
     
    The bears were....moving. My mind could barely comprehend what it was seeing as the forms of the bears shifted and stretched, pressing down and twisting. I moaned in terror, but no sound came from my throat. I could only squeeze my eyes shut in fear.
     
    Then the noise stopped and all was silent. The gentle lapping of the lake filled my head again. I tentatively opened my eyes.
     
    Three men stood there in the clearing. The last flickering light of the fire caught their bare skin, sending muscles and ridges into high relief. I gasped as I looked up to see three human faces looking down at me.
     
    "We have found her," the first bear-man spoke.
     
    "Me?"
     
    "You must come with us," he urged.
     
    I looked around. "Me?" I squeaked again.
     
    "Yes," he said, then seemed to pause. "Please," he added.
     
    I sank down to the ground even further, refusing to accept what I was seeing. There were bears...then they...transformed into a trio of naked men. Who were now asking me to follow them into the woods!
     
    "Please," the first man repeated, stretching his hand to me.
     
    Without thinking, I lifted my hand. When he caught it up, his strong fingers circling my wrist in a strange caress, I felt a jolt of pure electricity leap from his skin. It burned away my fear and propelled me to stand.
     
    "Where are we going?" I asked, unable to keep the fearful wonder out of my voice.
     
    The first man seemed about to speak, but there came a second voice. Another of the bear-men came closer, staring at me like I was some sort of apparition. "You came to us," he said in a voice suffused with awe. "We have searched for you for so long, and now here you are, finally."
     
    "After all this time," the third voice spoke.
     
    "I, don't understand." I had to keep the hysterical laughter from bubbling up inside of me. "I don't understand any of this."
     
    "Please come and I will show you what my clanmates mean," the first man said.
     
    I started to follow then stopped. "Who are you?"
     
    The three men turned back, dark eyes snapping in the dwindling firelight. They glowed somewhere between human and predator and each one of them looked like he would just as soon kiss me as devour me. Instantly it was as if I was the only woman in the world; I somehow knew they had eyes only for me. The three men practically radiated sex, but rather than frightening me with the
