The Scared Beauty and Her Determined Beasts

Ch.2

2

With my period on the way, I can't be in the area for much longer. It has been a while since the last One, and I can feel that it is going to be a bad One. Being so Sporadic, I will become crippled with such intense pain and a fever will spike. The only good thing is that I can feel when it will happen. With that small advantage, I can prepare for it in advance with painkillers and fever reducers.

The plants here are interesting because of how different this Primitive Environment is. Some are the same as back home. The effects are just Stronger or Weaker. Having tested the questionable plants on the Animals around, the New Medicines have not shown any Negative effects. Thank the Elements that I have not poisoned myself or anyone else yet.

The plan to leave tomorrow after today's final stock up, seems like it might be put on hold. Once it starts, I will be stuck here for Five more Days. Which is bad because, even though I have enough supplies stocked up, I will still be stuck just outside the Village Territory. Since I have almost been caught a few times, it is far too dangerous to stay too long.

That Black Tiger has been getting closer to finding me, even with all the safety protocols I made around me and my temporary hideout. Being able to feel those that are about Two- Three Miles away, it freaks me out that I can't tell where he is until he is right on top of me.

His Energy is Strong and Untrained,. That is why he is not able to find me. Even camouflaging my Smell and concealing my Energy, are both useless when hiding from him.

The Cobra has also been getting too close as well. I haven't been found yet, but it's getting harder to hide. With both closing in on my little hide-a-cave, the Energy I use from my Will to place a Rock slab to hide the opening, whether I'm there or not, clearly hasn't stopped them from getting closer. I just don't understand how they are doing it when it has never happened before.

With enough food and supplies stocked up, to hunker down and get through the rough time ahead, I can use this time to decide on how to proceed from here. This time is going to Extremely painful since it has been Three Months since the last One.

By the time night fell, the pain started and, as predicted, it was H*ll this time. Taking Pain Killers and Fever Reducer right as it started was the best that could be done for now, all that was left was to get some rest. Even if she only got One-Two Hours of sleep, it would be a good night.

While this was happening with Scarlet, that troublesome Black Tiger that was nearby was patrolling the borders of the Village. There was nothing out of the ordinary that Night on patrol, until the sudden smell of blood filled the Air.

There was a Strong smell which meant there was a lot of blood, and what was worse was it was mixed with the smell of a Female. He rushed to the area following his nose, when he came across a Little Female that was curled up under some bushes looking like she was in an immense amount of pain.

He thought, "This Little Female is out here all alone and hurt so badly. She must be so scared being out here all alone." Touching her head gently with the pad of his paw, he found that it was stifling.

"There was no sign of anyone else around, and she didn't have the scent of Males on her, so she must be an Underage or an Unclaimed Female. What is she doing out here in the wild like this?! Where are her Clansmen?! Was she abandoned, or did she escape from somewhere?" All this flooded his mind all at once.

"I can't get her out of here like this, and I can't wake her up." Taking a deep breath "I have no choice. I need to change quickly and grab her. Once she is safely out, I can change back, and no One will know. This Little Female is more important than me. I have no choice. I need to do this quickly."

Changing quickly, he grabbed Scarlet from under the bush, and was about to change back when…

SNAP!!!

Whipping his head around only to see a Tiger Male from the Village staring at him in his Human Form, it took a minute for the other Male to realize just who he was looking at. When Travis opened his mouth to explain what was happening, the other Male recognized him by his Smell and quickly alerted the rest of the guards to the scene.

Within Seconds Travis was surrounded; they all saw him in his Changed Form with Scarlet lying at his feet in pain and bleeding on the ground.

Before he could explain what was going on, he was forced to change back into his Animal Form and arrested on the spot.

Scarlet was picked up roughly by One of the guards, a Wolf Male named Ezra. "Since she's a Wild Female and not from our Village, it doesn't matter how roughly I treat her. Her being wounded meant that she was Weak. Taking her back for minimal care and getting information from her is the only thing that we are going to do with her.”

“Once she is no longer Useful and ONLY if a Male in the Village didn't want her, she would just be kicked out. It's more than likely that will be her fate. This is probably the reason behind her not being in her Village to begin with. She must be a Useless and Defective Female. Why else would she be alone in the forest? The Villages around here may be Lacking Females, but they wouldn't keep a Defective One to Taint the Good Females." This was going through Ezra's mind while he was bringing Scarlet back to the Village to see Doctor Roy, another Tiger Male.
