Rabbit Test: Chapter Seven
It was a few weeks after spending the night with his Rabbit friend's family. Rich's parents had been assured that Rich was welcome to spend as much time with them as he wanted to. The young human was no problem at all and he was a good influence for Ben.
Towards the end of summer, Don and Sue made arrangements with Rich's parents for him to come with them to a Recomb area to see the Fall Welcoming Celebration. It would be a week with Recombs of all types for him to meet and had Rich very excited.
For a couple days before hand, Ben and Chrissy had taught him the formal parts of the ceremony and talked about all the games, food and entertainment they would get to see and do. It sounded like a combination fair/party/festival and Rich was looking forward very much to seeing more of the Recomb lifestyle.
The Lapine family had family members who lived in the Recomb area to stay with, of course. Recombs were all partially related to each other in a certain way. They had all been created with the genetic contribution from just a few humans and the animals they had been created from. Any one of them could know their genealogy, just by asking for it. All births were registered and records kept for scientific purposes.
Rich rode into the Recomb area with Lapines and he looked everywhere. One thing he noticed was how species tended to live together in group areas. Particularly the predator derived Recombs were separate from the prey derived types. Not that it was a strictly enforced thing as he did see them mixed on the streets. It just made some of the prey types more comfortable that way.
Rich kept that thought to himself as they pulled into a hill shaped apartment building. Rabbits, Moles, Marmots, Prairie Dogs, all sorts of burrow dwellers made their homes here. Everywhere around him, furred people were going about their lives and his was the only fur-less skin in sight!
Don said there were other humans here tho they were few. He would see them at the festival. Rich drank in the sights, sounds and smells. Tho similar to where he had always lived, there were distinct differences too. One thing Rich noticed was they were quieter and much more polite than a similar apartment building full of humans would be. The young children were energetic and loud at times, as all young children tended to be but it was all happy sounds.
There was nature and sunlight in abundance but the inner and lower areas were dark, for those that preferred it. Rich met Don's brother Pete and his mate Molly. They had a set of triplet baby Recombs. The babies barely crawled yet but wide open, inquisitive eyes followed his movements. Molly had Rich hold his hands out to them and each baby claimed a finger to hold and play with.
He saw them smell him, then into their mouths went the finger, to be sucked and softly gnawed on. It was very cute but to the four adults, it showed the inborn attraction humans had for them, even at so young an age. All three were nude and so fuzzy that it wasn't until they were sucking his fingers that he saw three small pink penises appear. He was surprised but a joke from Molly caused Rich to put it out of his mind.
Rich was soon claimed by Ben and Chrissy, who were anxious to go out and see the fair area nearby. Most of the events, except for the formal ceremonies, took place in different spots through the Recomb area. It was fortunate that what they considered the best part was so near to their part of town. Each one had money for rides and treats to eat, so they only had to be back for dinner.
As the three walked to the fair part, they were met by other young Recombs. Ben and Chrissy found friends they had known before going out into the human community. Amid the group of Recombs, Rich received a fair share of attention, from sheer novelty. Not many humans came into the Recomb area and most were adults, so he was something new.
Rich listened as rapid fire conversations brought Ben and Chrissy up to date with what had been going on since they had left. Entering the fairgrounds, all looked around at the different attractions. Ben and his friends wanted to go on the rides. Chrissy and her friends were pointing at the craft displays and art competitions. Rich stuck with Ben and his friends, trailing along with the group.
He was wearing sandals, shorts and a Tee-shirt. He noticed that the Recombs wore less generally. Most of the males wore shorts or loin cloths and a couple even had a sort of kilt set up but none wore shirts or shoes. The females mostly had skirts or shorts, with bras for those that had breasts to put in them and nothing for those that didn't. Arm bands, feathers and jewelry were worn to the individual's choice.
As the day wore on, Rich saw all sorts of decorations and adornment on dozens of different species. It was midday and he was growing hungry when he smelled grilling meat. Not wanting to offend the group he was with, who were mostly herbivores, Rich excused himself and said he would meet back up with them a little later. Ben, who was distracted with his friends, nodded agreement and so Rich walked off to follow his nose.
Finding a stand that served burgers for the carnivores, he got one and a soft drink. Taking it over under the shade of a tree, Rich sat and had lunch. He watched as he ate, all the different types of Recombs walking around. It was very interesting to see how they were different and yet the same as any crowd of humans were.
Rich finally noticed one young Fox Recomb hanging around the back of one stand. The Fox was watching the other furs too but in a strange way that drew Rich's attention. After a bit, the Fox ducked into the back of the stand and quickly came out with two bottles. He held them close to his chest and looked around before running off into nearby bushes and trees. A minute later a Bear Recomb came out of the back of the stand and looked around. Seeing no one running away or acting suspicious, he shook his head and went back inside.
Rich got up casually and wandered over to where he had seen the Fox disappear and found a path leading off into the wooded area. Curiosity took over and Rich walked down the dirt path. After a distance and about to turn around, he heard voices and moved closer to see what was going on.
Around a rock outcropping, he saw a fort and its owners sitting in front of it, laughing and talking. There were five Fox Recombs of various colors from deep red to bright orange, one silver and one black furred. All were apparently male and looked to be a couple years older than Rich. He saw the thief he had first seen, drinking from one of the bottles and bragging about how easy it had been to steal it from the stand. The bottle was being passed around and their attention was on it so Rich decided he should leave.
Just as he was about to turn around and creep quietly back to the fair, a loud growling, deep voice came from very close behind and said,"Just what the hell do you think you are doing here?"
Rich jumped and yelled in surprise, turning to see who was behind him. He saw not another Fox Recomb but rather a Wolf! The snarl showed sharp white teeth, it had golden eyes and was much more massive than Rich.
He was also quickly surrounded by the Foxes, who had been alerted by the Wolf's growl and none of them looked happy to see him. Rich stood up straight and said,"I saw that one steal from a food stand and was curious. I wasn't going to tell anyone. I was just curious about what he took and where he was going."
The Wolf stepped over and was told by the thief that he hadn't seen the human around the stand but produced the bottles. The Wolf looked Rich over, then smiled nastily. He grabbed one of the bottles and shoved it into Rich's hands as he said,"Alright man, since you are curious, take a drink! I want to see the level go down so take a couple big swallows before you put the bottle down."
Rich tried to say no, he didn't want any but he was informed he didn't have a choice. Two big swallows later, Rich made a face and shuddered. It was high proof brandy! Rich was told to move closer to the fort and sit down so they could talk. Sitting down on a log, he learned the Wolf Recomb was called Thorne and was the obvious leader of the group.
Thorne questioned Rich about how he had come to be in the Recomb area and other things. He also made Rich drink more while only seeming to drink himself. Soon Rich wondered what he had been worried about. The Foxes and Thorne seemed to be getting friendlier as they talked.
Rich saw Thorne whisper to one of the Foxes, who showed surprise, then a sharp grin as he nodded. The Fox went to one of the others and began whispering when Rich's attention was distracted by Thorne telling him to take another drink.
Rich, who was having trouble focusing and talking said,"Oh no, pleash. I don't feel so good."
Thorne grinned evilly and said,"I'll be the judge of that. Now before I let you go, you must be punished for spying on us and to remind you not to say anything about Sil's theft, or us!"
Rich blinked and ran the words thru his mind again . . . "punish?"! Rich protested again that he wouldn't say anything but as he tried to get up, he stumbled and fell. The group laughed nastily and began moving in on Rich as his fright grew.
Thorne ordered him grabbed and he was swarmed by the Foxes. They quickly had his arms and legs pinned, one sitting on his chest. Thorne then ordered him carried inside the fort. He was picked up and taken inside to a table.
Turned over onto his stomach, he was pinned and held in place, laying over the side of the table. Ropes were quickly produced and his wrists were tied out in front of him to the table legs. Rich begged them to let him go but they only laughed. Thorne stepped in front of him and smiled evilly as he said,"You can go, after we are done. What are we going to do to punish you, I wonder? What do you think, human?"
Rich was becoming more befuddled as the alcohol worked it way into his blood stream. He said with difficulty,"S-S-Spank me?"
(Dasher here. This is split into three parts to let people avoid reading things they might not like. Next two chapters contain rape, violence and death. If you skip to chapter eight, you will still sort of be aware of what has happened but it won't be explicit. I wrote this because it really belongs in the story line and is needed by the story line in future chapters. Sorry if you are offended by those topics but I don't use them lightly or for prurient purposes.)
