BRUISES

The hunters carefully gathered around the body of the shapeshifter.

“There!” Their leader pointed out two bruises, one on each side of the creature’s neck. “That matched marking. We’re seeing that more and more often on the bodies of these filth we have slain. Who can say how those bruised marks came there or who placed them.”

A valley to the west, a muscled, lean bodied lycanthrope raised his head from the bloodied arm of his newest recruit. Leaning down he grasped the newly-created shifter around its throat, pulling it to its feet. Unnoticed, two symmetrical bruises began to form.

Thank you, my dear. Yes, I'm afraid they will have to track it down as quickly as they can.

Thank you, thank you. Tolkien's lycanthropes weren't all sparkley and emo - LOL
