CJ knew something was odd when the shadow didn't release him from his grip, just giving almost the same blank stare CJ had given when it was talking. He growled a little feeling himself being brought closer to the creature, wiggling a bit more as he was examined, even though it didn't appear that the shadow had a nose to sniff with. Sighing as he's pulled back, CJ's ears perk some as he watches the creatures mouth open wide in front of him, causin ghim to shiver a little bit, looking into the blackness of the creatures body. What looked to be a tongue snaked out nad flicked across his face, matting his fur down some with shiny saliva. Shaking his head he soon watched as he was moved toward the open mouth again, this time for just for a lick. Growling and struggling CJ howled a little bit. "Help me!! I'm not food! Let me go!" Although he wasn't sure that anyone around could hear him and he didn't know how close someone was in trying to help him.
