White: Queen's Knight b1 > c3

Luke was enjoying the last hour or so of daylight.

The weather was almost perfect, with a nice breeze rustling the branches overhead just a bit. He always liked to wander out and enjoy the scenery every day before nightfall. Something about looking out over the forested hills overlooking the lake put him at ease and let him forget for a moment the growing tension among his group.

It was always the same, they had to expand or they would just fade away over time most argued. But expansion brought complications and risks... but enough about that, Luke was here to enjoy his peace and qui-

Huh... what was that? Now that he concentrated on it, he could hear a car engine of some sort off in the distance... no, it was larger, it was just very far off.

Getting up from his peaceful vista, Luke ran off to the road, the only connection this area had to the outside world. There was no doubting it now, some sort of large vehicle was coming down the road towards the lake. Strange, their leader hadn't told them about any visitors, they would have been more ready to greet them otherwise. The timing was also odd... their leader usually insisted on people showing up in the morning. He would have to tell him once he knew who these people were.

Coming up to a mound overlooking the road, he quickly lay prone as to avoid being seen. As the rumbling of an engine approached he saw a bus round the corner. He tried to see who was inside it, but the windows were all heavily tinted and he didn't have a good angle on the driver. When it pulled off at the first exit, Luke got up to run again.

The Bus just pulled into the road that led to the farthest cabin from the lake and the only way out by vehicle was back down the same road. The road was windy so if he hurried, he might be able to get there around the same time the large and cumbersome vehicle did.

Luke raced through the woods, easily traversing the underbrush off the beaten path. He managed to finally get in sight of the cabin as the last of it's passengers disembarked... 4 gorgeous young women with luggage who were waving back to someone in the bus.

"Alright girls, we meet at the lake in the morning, 9:00 sharp! The path over there takes you down to the other cabins and the lake, or you can follow the road if you want. Don't stay up too late!" a young woman's voice yelled from the door of the bus before it closed and it drove away.

Luke watched as the 4 women walked into the cabin rolling their luggage, intently focused on the way their bodies moved as they joked and teased each other.

He knew he should tell the leader of the pack immediately. He also knew that he wouldn't have enough time to make it back before he changed and then he wouldn't be able to resist his urges and run full tilt back to the cabin anyway.

The best he could do is find a place to stash his clothes and wait for his transformation to happen. Maybe he could convince his more feral side to listen to reason after it took it's urges out on one or two of them first.
