The Benedictine Circus: An island of man-beasts?

Curious, Ziv walked up to him and looked him over the shoulder. It was times like this she wished she could ask him what he was doing. But this way, she simply stood behind him, quietly, and looked over his shoulder.

Lucio mumbled something to himself and then lifted his nose high.

Well, Polly, Pipiu, you heard the man. Scatter!

Nero went back to sitting on his turtle and watching his crew members work. Ziv seemed to be interested in what Gael was doing and Lucio was sending his parrot away. It was only a matter of waiting for their scouting reports.

(Go ahead and make something up guys, just make it animal people like centaurs. Plus I wont be on later in the week, I'm graduating )

Ziv was getting bored. She couldn't see what Gael was actually doing.
She walked towards Nero a little, but then she heard something. Sounded like a squeeking sound.
She waited a little, then she changed direction and ran off into the forest.

Gael stopped because it wasn't quite working out like usual. He saw Ziv run off, and decided to follow her.

Ziv made her way through the forest. It was quite thick, and it was hard to make out where she was running, but this was about her family, after all.
Finally, she saw the cause for the warning squeek. She raised both eyebrows. That wasn't what she had suspected.
In the middle of the clearing she was looking at, there was a cat... man... thing.
But what was really important was that he had killed three of her sisters (rats) and was holding them up by the tails now. He looked curious, rats most likely were rare on this island.
She understood immeadeatly. This meant danger.
Abo let out an angry little growl. The cat thing looked into their direction.
Ziv didn't think, she just ran. It didn't seem to chase her.
When she saw the boat they had come here on, she jumped on.
She was back at the ship in no time. Some of the crew mates looked at her strangely, but no one said anything.
She pointed at the boat, then at the island. She didn't really care whether or not they had understood at all, she hurried into another boat and headed away from the ship. They might or might not meet again. She didn't care. But she wouldn't endanger her family for it.

On the island, a small shadow made its way into the water. Then another one. A horde of shadows swam after Zivs boat. They would catch up to her soon, they knew.
And even if they wouldn't, they'd follow her wherever she went.

(Bye guys.)
