The Scared Beauty and Her Determined Beasts

Ch.3

When they arrived in the Village, Scarlet was taken directly to Doctor Roy's for an examination and treatment. He was not happy about being woken up in the middle of the Night, but when he saw that it involved such a small yet heavily injured Female, he started to bark orders at Ezra, who was still holding Scarlet.

While Doctor Roy ran around grabbing the things, he thought that he might need for treatment. Ezra was told to gently place her on the bed and leave, since he was not helping.

Hearing this, Ezra became irritated by the Doctor and walked over to the bed and dropped her onto it like she was a piece of trash, turned sharply on his heel and stormed out.

Doctor Roy was in shock at the sight and yelled at Ezra as he walked out. Saying to himself "Those d*mn Wolves. No manners at all. It's a miracle that any of them get a Female in the First place. How he could be so rough to such a tiny and innocent Female, especially since she is so injured."

Doctor Roy started his examination by taking off her clothes, so he could get a full understanding of what needed to be done. The task at hand turned out to be a little bit more difficult than he thought it would be.

The clothes she had on were strange, and he had never seen anything like them before. After much difficulty, he finally stripped off the last of the clothes and discovered that there was a strip of cotton between her legs. That was the source of where the blood was coming from. There seemed to be a lot of it coming from her 'Sacred Area' along with lots of scars all over her body.

"What has happened to you, you poor Little Female?" He spoke aloud to no One in particular. "She is in such a bad condition. Maybe she was snatched from her Village and has been forced to live such a terrible life. Could it have been the Unwanted Males that captured her and treated her so badly?" All these questions were running through his head as he cleaned and treated Scarlet.

When the Sun started to come up, the Village Chef, a huge Tiger Male, came in demanding to know what was going on.

"Doctor Roy!! What is going on here? Who is this Wild Female?!" He had scared Doctor Roy so much that he dropped the medicine that he had just made, trying to suppress his anger as he watched as the contents covered the floor.

Doctor Roy turned and greeted the Chef with a smile, saying, "Chef Hugo, this Little Female was likely taken from another Village by Unwanted. She may have escaped from them and was later found by Travis in the woods. We won't know what happened until she wakes up and is able to answer our questions."

Scarlet, who, unbeknownst to them, had woken up when the annoyingly Loud Man barged into the room and started yelling. She didn't move, because she wanted to gather all the information she could before making her escape. So far, she has found out that the One that found her was a guy named Travis and this loud thing now is the Chef named Hugo.

As they were having their discussion, a Wolf Male came running in and said, "Chef Hugo! Is it true? Are you going to Kill Travis today?" With a Wicked grin, Chef Hugo said, "Yes, and the charges are that he Changed his Form in front of a Female and, since he knows that is not aloud, he is sentenced to DEATH."

Scarlet was so shocked to hear this and almost gave herself away.

"So that was why I had never seen his Human Form before. It was because he was not allowed either. Now he is going to Die because of he was helping me. I won't let that happen!" Scarlet thought to herself, as she continued to lessen in on their conversation.

Chef Hugo left with the Wolf Male, but not before he turned back and said, "When that Wild Female wakes up, I want to know exactly where she came from, and what she was doing in MY Territory." Then he turned around and slammed the door on the way out.

I noticed when I woke up that I had no clothes on. Reaching out with my Senses, I could feel that we were alone and that the

Doctor was not a threat to me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, trying my best to look like the scared and helpless girl he thought that I was. This is a challenge because I haven't had to act Weak in a very long time.

It must have been a good act because when Doctor Roy looked over at me, he was surprised to see that I was awake and rushed over with a concerned face. I shrank away and treated him like he was a threat.

He stopped in his tracks and tried to come off as nonthreatening as possible, saying "I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Doctor Roy, you are at the White Tree Village."

He had his hands up in a non-threatening way and tried to hand me some Water saying, "Drink this and you will feel better. You will be okay. I will make some medicine for you in just a Minute. It will take the pain away."

He had an easy-going smile on his face, and I looked at the contents in the bowl like it was poison. Shaking my head 'No', I looked around again for my clothes. I looked down and held the blanket around myself, trying to look innocent.

He looked at me again, realizing that I must have been thinking something horrible would happen, so he said, "Your clothes are drying, and you need to drink this, it will help you feel better." Lowering his head in embarrassment, he said, "You have lost a lot of blood out of your 'Sacred Area', and I can't stop it. This will help you replenish the blood you are losing. Do you understand?"

I sized him up and decided that talking to him would be a better choice than staying silent. Since he seemed so helpful, I could get some answers. It was bad enough with him seeing down there, let alone him keeping an eye on there all this time. I didn't need to stick around much longer.

Deciding a quick escape was the best course of action. I said, "It is not a wound. It is a normal thing for someone like me. It will stop in a few days. I'll be fine to leave on my own. It doesn't matter if my clothes are dry or not, I will be fine to leave when I get them."

Hearing that she would just get up and leave worried him even more than when she said that her bleeding like this was normal. As he was processing what Scarlet said, another Male came barging in and said, "Doctor Roy, these are the clothes belonging to the Wild Female. I'm going to go watch the Execution now." He then tossed the clothes on the ground like they were trash and hurried out.

Doctor Roy was so angry at the way the others were treating this poor Little Female that he could spit Fire. Gathering up her clothes and dusting them off, he went over to Scarlet saying, "I'm so sorry Little Female. The Villagers here are not normally like this. Things are just a little chaotic because of all the Unwanted around, and they have become weary of outsiders these days."

I gave him a blank stare and said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me. All I need are my clothes and I will be on my way. I have been taking care of myself for a long time, and I'll be fine on my own."

As soon as Doctor Roy heard that, he started to cry his eyes out and reached out to hold Scarlet’s hand. Moving out of his reach, she moved to the side and grabbed her clothes. Turning to him, I asked, "Could you step outside so that I can get dressed?"

He was reluctant to leave, but turned and walked out saying that he was right outside if she needed anything.

As Scarlet dressed quickly, she asked him why the Black Tiger was being killed for something ridiculous like, Changing his Form.

Doctor Roy was so taken aback by the question. He never expected a Female that had No Connections with the Village, that had only treated her with such blatant disrespect, to ask about something as horrible as an Execution.

She should be more concerned about her own life. Just like all the other Females in the World. The scars that blanket her body are proof that she must have lived such a hard life; and yet she was asking about the welfare of a Male that she had no connection to.

His heart was bleeding for her, but he answered with the truth because he felt like she deserved to know what was going on.

"The Male that found you on the edge of our border, is named Travis." Doctor Roy took a deep breath, then continued "He is Never allowed to be in his Changed Form in front of any Female. He was caught with you in that form and he is now sentenced to death for the crimes he committed."

Scarlet’s mind went blank when she heard what the Good Doctor said. Their attention was suddenly drawn outside by hearing a large group cheering.

“DIE!!!”

“You know what you did! You deserve to die for it!”

“You should Never have been Born!!”

Running to the window and looking out, Scarlet could see the Black Tiger Travis being escorted down the center of the street. The Villagers were throwing rocks, sticks and other things all while yelling at him. There were some that were even spitting at him, and he was doing nothing to defend himself as he made his way to the platform in the middle of the Village.

Scarlet couldn’t believe what she was seeing. When Travis made it to the top of the platform, Chef Hugo, who was in the middle, raised his voice and began to speak “We are gathered here today for the Execution of this lawbreaker! His crime is showing a Female his Changed Form and now he will be paying the price for doing so with his Life!”

Scarlet was curious about why he couldn’t Change Form and asked Doctor Roy why, but didn’t expect such a stupid response to come from him.

He said, “A Witch Doctor came by many Years ago and said that Travis’ coloring meant that he was a jinx and if he showed his Male Form in front of any Female, it would destroy the Village.”

Scarlet looked at him with disbelief and couldn’t believe the Bull Cr*p that she had just heard. Looking back to the platform where Chef Hugo had just finished his speech, the Executioner was called forth.

He held what looked like a big rock attached to the end of a branch. They were planning to smash Travis’ head-in! Scarlet couldn’t let that happen. Using her Energy to shatter the Rock Hammer, she jumps out the window, leaving the Doctor standing there completely dumb founded.

As she made her way through the sea of dumbstruck people, she leaped up on the platform. Scarlet walked right up to Travis and said, “Would you like to leave this Crappy Village?”
