Something wet pressed against Jack's face.
Hot. Suffocating.
The sensation dragged him from the depths of unconsciousness with uncomfortable urgency.
His body felt heavy, unresponsive, like he was buried under tons of earth. But that wetness kept spreading across his cheek, his nose, making it harder to breathe.
Jack's eyes snapped open.
Six glowing red eyes stared back at him from three massive heads, each one larger than his entire torso.
Fluffy's center head had been licking his face, and drool, thick, steaming drool, covered Jack's skin in a viscous coating.
Cerberus's breath smelled like sulfur and charred meat.
"GAH!" Jack jerked backward, scrambling away from the monster that was apparently using him as a chew toy.
His hands slipped in the blood still coating the ground, sending him sprawling onto his back.
Fluffy's three heads tilted in unison.
The center head's tongue lolled out, dripping more drool onto the scorched earth.
