Counter Earth Chronicles
*Chapter 11: The Reality Of My New Reality (Recap) *
Day 7 continued
"Another movement?!" My she beast said in disgust. "They are like ants! When one is squashed, another appears!"
"Uh, what is the Equality Now Movement?" I asked as I resumed massaging her back.
"Another movement most likely started by rebels demanding first class citizenship for all humans on Counter Earth. They want the same benefits, privileges and rights we beastials have." Lady Ursa said.
"Actually a bit more than that." I said as moved to my she beast's shoulders.
She glanced at me.
"The are calling for the removal of the dictator, the retaking of the planet, oh and the incarceration of all beastials into zoos."
"Ugg, I just dismantled a faction like that last week!" The bear said perturbed. "Now here comes another one!"
"So what happens if these movements aren't stopped?" I asked as I moved my hands to massage her lower back, rump and her adorable nubby tail.
"Another will form and try to instill the human populace to its cause. If they are successful. They will be emboldened to attack beastials, perform kidnappings and ransoms, as well as destruction and mayhem, perhaps even assassinations that will threaten the High Evolutionary and our way of life." Lady Ursa said reaching for her communicator.
My mistress contacted Lord Tiger about the latest threat to the dictator and his rule. They spent a good ten to fifteen minutes talking while I finished her massage. When the conversation ended my she beast turned to me.
"Good catch pet. Very good." She said rising from the bed.
"It was all over the Hub. Kind of hard to ignore it." I said frankly.
"Well as a reward I am going to give you a massage as well."
Gently my she beast laid me down on to her bed and started massaging my back, shoulders and neck. It felt really, really good.
"Speaking of rewards, wasn't today your seventh day on Counter Earth?" The she beast asked me moving on to my rump.
"Yes, mistress." I replied. "It was one week ago that I met you and the other knights and learned conclusively that there is life on other planets in the universe. My arrival here was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life."
"Initial contact usually is." She said.
"Those paws of yours mistress are pure heaven!"
My she beast just laughed in response. I nearly drifted off to sleep while she continued the massage.
"That reminds me pet I have a second reward since you are now a resident of Counter Earth."
"What's that?" I asked.
"A tracking chip. All humans of this world are required to have one." She said as she produced some sort of injector device from the closet. "Our master has decreed that all humans are to have one of these implanted in them so that their whereabouts are known at all times."
"Really mistress?! Did I mention that I am a good human?!"
"That goes for the good humans and the bad humans and especially the rebels pet."
"Is this going to hurt?" I asked.
"See for yourself." My she beast cackled as she injected the tracking chip in my left shoulder. It didn't hurt. Just itched. "As of this day Alex, you are a citizen- second class of Counter Earth and awarded the benefits and privileges of such citizenship."
Which meant that like every other human on the planet- especially those in the Equality Now Movement, I wouldn't be awarded the same freedoms, benefits, opportunities and privileges as the High Evolutionary's beastials, the preferred class. Unless I were to live among them. Thank goodness I did.
After implanting the tracking chip, mistress Ursa finished my massage. I think she had finished it some time ago but took her time squeezing and analyzing my butt. Apparently she was fascinated that it was so smooth, furless and without a tail.
I guess that would be of interest to any beast that had a tail.
"You have a question mistress?" I asked as she joined me in bed.
"I have never understood how you humans manage without tails?" She asked curiously.
"We make do mistress." I said hugging her. I soon fell asleep while embracing her, resting my chin on or her chest and the rest of me on her torso. She returned the embrace as we drifted off to sleep.
My sleep was quite restful that night. No dreams or nightmares for that matter, Mistress Ursa also slept well now that her rough day was behind her.
Day 8
My eighth day on Counter Earth began like the last two. Mistress Ursa and myself were sleeping peacefully when we awoken by her communicator. My she beast answered, listened to it for a bit and then put it back down and went back to sleep.
"Um, mistress don't you have some where to be this morning?" I asked questioningly.
"No, Alex today is Saturday." She responded gently.
I stopped and thought.
"Saturday is one of the weekend days on this world, and you don't work weekends you are on call." I said thoughtfully.
"That's right pet, you are correct. So I get to sleep in this morning and think about work."
I guess she was still thinking about her rough day yesterday.
"Think about work? Why? It's the weekend!"
"True little human, but from time to time we knights go on missions. Some routine, some not, to enforce laws, punish the wrong and maintain order. In light of recent events, I may have such an assignment coming up in the future or Lord Tiger may assign it to one of the other knights, since I am still breaking in a new pet." She beast teased.
"Missions? What do they entail?" I asked.
"They are almost always secret pet and generally will have me and other knights leave for a time."
"Aw!" I whined. "You never talk about your work." I complained. "In fact you still didn't tell me what happened at the meeting with the High Evolutionary yesterday that you were dreading."
Lady Ursa paused for a moment. "You know pet I like to keep my work life separate from my home life, but if you must know, it was exactly as I said it was- the master yelled at the knights and myself for the recent rebel incursions and that security at the castle has to be better revised to prevent such incursions. The rest I don't want to talk about..."
"I see." I responded apologetically. "You are under a lot of stress to perform and get results. Part of the requirements of being a superior life form. How do you cope?" I asked my she beast.
"Dominating you helps!" Lady Ursa growled. "Alex Winter you are charged with being shy, insecure, acutely timid, extremely passive and very submissive for a human." My Ursine warrior said in a stern voice. "What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Um, guilty?" I replied meekly looking up at her smirking face.
"I judge you guilty little human and sentence you to a morning of being concurred and dominated by one of the strongest, most ferocious and fiercest warriors of Counter Earth!"
"Um, who is that?" I asked peering over her breasts.
"Me!" She growled while rolling me onto my stomach arms and legs outstretched on her bed.
(UlLP!)
She then lied down right on top of me! Her breasts resting on my back, her groin resting on my butt and she nuzzled me with that snout of hers. It felt weird, but also so, so right.
My mistress hugged, nuzzled and cuddled me repeatedly. When that ended, she groped my butt for a time. When she grew tired of that, she rolled me over onto my back and started groping my front!
"Your testicles are so round and so soft I could just rub them all day or least for good luck!" The bear lady cooed.
It must have been the latter because she rubbed them for what had to be a least a good five minutes.
"I could learn to love Saturdays more than any other day of the week." I blurted out in a daze.
"Your pleasure period is now over pet- but mine is just starting. Now I want you to CONFIDENTLY bring me to three orgasms. If I am satisfied, I may let you have a few as well." She ordered embracing me.
"As my mistress commands...." I said in my daze.
My past three days living with Lady Ursa- between the sex, exercising and bathing I have realized that I have come to love mornings. Pun intended.
Since it was Saturday, mistress Ursa didn't exercise stating that we had exercised enough previously. If you know what I mean.
It was around 8 AM when we started our communal bathing. My she beast was lathering my legs genitals and abdomen when another peculiar thought passed my mind. I guess I seem to do my best thinking while in the shower.
"Mistress beastials keep pets right?"
"That is a silly question to ask Alex. Of course we do. You are mine." She responded.
"What about if they are the same species? For instance take a beastial who is a rabbit. Is it possible for them to keep pet rabbits- you know the four legged type?"
"Of course silly! If master and pet are the same species they will understand each other because they effectively speak the same language. The same would go for a beastial canine adopting a four legged canine, a beastial feline adopting a a four legged feline. It is quite commonplace." The ursine warrior said as she finished my front and moved to my back.
"Ok we know that beastials can adopt humans for pets what about the other way around?"
"Not common place either way." The she beast responded as she started the shower. "You are the first pet human any beastial has adopted and I have never heard of any human adopting a beastial. But it is not outside the realm of possibility."
It was just before 8:30 AM when we sat down for breakfast. Lady Ursa made honey biscuits with a side of fruit.
"So what is on the agenda for this morning?" I asked.
"Let's got to the supply store near the castle's main entrance. I need to restock on some things and along the way I could give you a tour of the castle- the areas that are safe to access and then later I can assist you in making dinner." The bear lady said to me.
Lady Ursa spent the better part of the morning showing me around Castle Wundagore. I familiarized myself with the accessible areas of the castle and where they were located. I still marveled at how beautifully modern the magnificent structure was both inside and out and now it was my home!
Eventually we wound up at the supply store which was quite large- it had everything one needed to live in the castle, food, clothing, tools and even books. Mistress Ursa put me to work almost immediately making me carry the supplies while she shopped- I suspect she was testing my strength- she could have easily carried everything I had with just one of her paws. As we were leaving I nearly ran into a familiar minotaur who had entered to do some shopping of his own. I guess he was off today as well.
"Tauren!"
"Hello, Alex you appear to be well. How is everything?" The bull asked.
"It's going great. I have no complaints at all." I told him.
"You look different too, hmm..." The bull said studying me thoughtfully. "Are you free this afternoon for lunch?"
I looked at my mistress.
"Can I please?"
"Sure pet you can have lunch with your friend. But first I need you take the supplies back to the lair then you can join him."
"Ok then it is a lunch date. See you in the observation ring at noon." The minotaur said smiling.
I carried the supplies back to the lair and helped Lady Ursa unpack before joining Tauren in the observation ring.
"The ring is quite empty." I said to Tauren sitting down.
"Yeah everyone is still freaked out about the werewolf attack from a week ago." Tauren responded.
"You don't seem to be." I responded.
"That's because one of my friends is clairvoyant, he would inform me if we were in danger." The bull said smirking.
We both decided to eat light salads that afternoon. I was planning on having a big dinner and I suspect that he was going to do the same.
"It looks like you are adjusting well to your captivity." He began.
"You know Tauren, most people would have found my captivity unbearable- being a pet, servant and sex toy of a beastial warrior. But given my existence on Gaia, my new life on Counter Earth is paradise; I don't mind it at all. It is not without its drawbacks though."
"Really? Like what?"
"My freedom is not unlimited. Especially in light of that Equality Now Movement." I told the bull.
"How so?" Tauren asked.
"Last night Lady Ursa congratulated me on becoming a second class citizen by giving me a tracking chip to constantly monitor my movement. She told me all humans were required to have one good and bad."
"It is an easy method of detecting threats especially those that start movements. The master wanted to single out troublemakers and threats to his rule and punish them." The he beast told me. "But that is the only similarity you share with the indigenous humans. Unlike them you don't live in squalor or depravity. You live in opulence and grandeur in one of the High Evolutionary's castles with his creations. So despite being a second class citizen you are one of privilege." The he beast told me.
"Say Tauren, what do you think of the Equality Now Movement? Are you worried about it?"
"Not at all Alex, it is just the latest effort by a rebel faction to try to over through the High Evolutionary. The knights will treat it like the other movements." The minotaur said to me.
"How is that?"
"The knights will dismantle it from the inside- most likely through spies. The instigators will be identified, singled out judged and punished. Supporters will also be identified judged and equally punished." Tauren said.
"Wow." I simply replied.
"Sir Ram tends to get really giddy when the dictator announces punishments because as you know that is how he receives his test subjects."
"Talk about quelling the opposition." I said quietly.
Seeing I was some what shocked by that revelation, Tauren decided to change the subject.
"So Alex, your mistress? What do you think of her?"
"Truth be told, the very first day we met I think we had some sort of rapport with each other. I can't explain it." I said to the minotaur.
"Really? And now?" He inquired.
"It has grown to something much more deeper, much more substantial. I have to admit the day she adopted me I was apprehensive. I thought she was going to be a bold, brash and cruel task master. But in time I discovered that if you get past her rough and tumble exterior the person inside is quite kind, quite loving and truly cares about my well being." I said to Tauren.
"How so?"
"She has Lutra the otter lady, teaching me English and Animalian, you know the dominant languages here on Counter Earth."
"You mean professor Love? She teaches languages to the cubs in the castle." The bull responded. "She is tough but fair."
"So is mistress Ursa when it comes to my education. She wants me to become fluent in English and Animalian. She believes it is the only way that I will prosper on Counter Earth. To that end she wants me to learn the language as soon as possible in case the translator on my PDA fails. So every night before bed she makes me read to her."
"She does care about your well being Alex." The he beast responded.
"I also have responsibilities as well."
"You don't say." The bull responded.
"I am responsible for cleaning the lair, preparing the meals which I am learning how to do now, and keep up with my studies. In return Lady Ursa, has provided me with a home, family, affection and a stable life. Which I am truly grateful for. But like my citizenship I have limits in the form of rules she has made for me." I said to the intrigued minotaur.
"Such as?" He asked questioningly.
"Around the lair I am only allowed to wear particular clothing. All though she does allow me to wear full clothing outside of the lair. She only allows me to access certain areas of the castle and has forbidden me to go to other areas- she claims they contain things I am not ready to see." Tauren nodded his head in agreement. "She also does not want me to leave the castle for any reason without her supervision not until I become fluent in English and Animalian she said I could encounter situations- dangerous ones that I am not ready to deal with." I said to my friend.
"It sounds like you have an mamma bear/baby bear dynamic!" Tauren interjected snickering.
It took a moment before I realized what he was talking about- like a mother bear that sets rules for her cubs, Lady Ursa was doing the same for me- to keep me safe. In a strange way, I was ok with that.
"Yeah you are right about that." I told the bull.
The minotaur paused a long while then looked directly at me.
"So how is the sex?"
"Tauren!" I exclaimed turning a deep shade of red.
"Now Alex, you did say that was another of your duties. You can tell me, remember I have seen you naked."
"So have I!" I countered and I seemed to recall we bathed together." I said to the bull
"Precisely. I want details!" He said.
"My first day living with her she told me right out of the gate that my body and mind belonged to her to use as she saw fit. She wasn't kidding either. I don't have a bed or room of my own in the lair. Instead I sleep with her. In fact, I am not allowed to wear clothes at all in her chambers or masturbate for that matter; I am supposed to save myself for her." I reluctantly told my friend.
"Yeah, yeah," Tauren exclaimed poopooing those details. "How is the sex?!"
"It is fantastic! She wants to copulate at least three to four times a week! I personally look forward to making love to her or her to me, looking at her golden eyes, kissing that short stout snout of hers, sleeping on her soft supple breasts, feeling the embrace of those powerful strong arms and paws, feeling her soft fur, groping that cute rump of hers with that adorable nubby tail, cumming inside her, hearing her roar during her own climax and hugging her during our mutual after glows. In fact she is one fantastic lay." I told the minotaur.
"I knew it! I knew it!" Tauren exclaimed as we were finishing our meal. "There was something different about you! Every time you talk about her you have a certain look about you- a warm, loving type of stare. Alex, you are in love with her."
(Whoa!)
"Yeah, I guess I am."
The minotaur snapped me back to reality. "Alex how are you coping with being the last of your kind?"
"Although it has been three hundred years, to me it seemed that Gaia was alive just seven days ago. But yeah I am coming to terms with it.
"You will always feel the pain of that loss." Tauren said placing his paw on my hand. "But it will get better in time."
With that we finished lunch and Tauren decided to walk me back to the lair.
"You have come quite a long way your first week among us Alex." Tauren stated.
"Yeah from terrified refugee to a glorified pet."
"True he replied- but you will become substantially accustomed to your life here. Once you have mastered the language there is so much more that will be opened up to you."
"By the way Tauren, how was the vacation?"
"Oh, the assignment, it was very nice." He responded abruptly.
"Tauren, you pulled details out of me- I want the same! Spill!"
"Alright, alright since you are my friend, I will tell you." He started.
"Wrong, you are my dear friend I countered and I am yours."
"I was visiting the human couple that raised me." He continued.
"Say what?!"
"You know that I am an original don't you?" He said looking at me.
"Oh yeah, my mistress did tell me that."
Tauren continued:
"It was around the time when the High Evolutionary came to power. Back then I was a farm bull for a human couple that worked the fields. I helped plow the ground so they could plant and harvest crops for two seasons until I got really sick."
"Around my second year on the farm a severe drought occurred and destroyed their crops. My family lost their livelihood and savings; they couldn't afford to feed me. They ended up selling their farm and livestock at the height of the drought but not before I became ill from malnourishment."
"It was around that time that the High Evolutionary approached my family who couldn't afford to treat my illness, so I was instead sold to him. He nursed me back to health and ultimately evolved me to the beastial I am today. Every now and I again I visit my family- now in their eighties to let them know I am ok and doing well." Tauren told me.
"Let me guess, you also take care of them. You have them living somewhere in complete comfort." I said to the bull.
"You know me too well Alex." He said as we arrived back at the lair.
"Take care and don't be a stranger." I said as I hugged him.
"I don't think I will. I seem to recall the knights tend to go on a lot of missions and Lady Ursa may need a pet sitter in the future." He snickered.
(Pet sitter?!)
When I walked in I was just in time to start dinner with Lady Ursa's assistance. This evening it was Honey-soy sauce broiled salmon fillets with zucchini and tomatoes. Just looking at the menu was a dead give away who the chef was.
We spent the evening eating and talking. I told her about my luncheon with Tauren and how I learned about his past. I did not mention anything else he had asked about- my living with her though. I didn't want her to know that I had said anything about that to anyone.
Later that evening as we were getting ready for bed, mistress Ursa had me read news reports to her in English as part of my daily reading activities. One article in particular spoke of a series of robberies in World One from a gang of bandits- the bandit trio. Yet another headache for her and the knights to deal with.
What was interesting about the gang was that they were of mixed species- humans and beastials working together for a common goal- evil. It was proof that humans and beastials on this world could work together. In this case for destructive purposes.
"Very good Alex! You are improving."
"Thank you mistress." I said smiling.
"Uh oh, I know that look, here come the questions." She said.
"Actually an admission mistress. While eating lunch today with Tauren I had an epiphany. It happened when Tauren was asking me about my new life here on Counter Earth with you and the other beastials."
"What did you tell him?" My she beast asked curiously.
"That I don't mind it at all; I rather like my life here and I am growing to love it. But that wasn't the epiphany." I paused. "Remember the day you adopted me and in effect decided to share your life with me?"
My she beast nodded in response to my question.
"I thought about that day over and over and you today and I realized that love is a very, very complex emotion; it is not limited to size, shape, gender or in this case, species."
"Alex what are you babbling on about?" Lady Ursa asked me perplexed.
"You mentioned on the day you adopted me that my body and mind belonged to you well, in the last few days I realized you took my heart and soul as well." I said turning to look her in the eyes. "I realized mistress that I love you. I love you with all my heart, my very being and all of my soul."
My she beast then brushed the pad we were reading to the floor and hugged me. "I know." She said gently and tenderly. "I know."
"That's it?! I know?! I just professed my love to you and all I received was I know?!" I said flabbergasted. The ursine warrior laughed- loudly.
"Little human let me ask you this: If I didn't have feelings for you would I have saved you from Sir Ram?"
"No," I replied.
"Would I have adopted you, given you a home and a stable life?"
"No." I replied.
"Would I have shared my life with you, educated you and let you know me intimately if I didn't have feelings for you?"
"No." I replied.
"I have feelings for you too my dearest pet. You are not unlike a unique, delicate and beautiful flower that is to be adored, cherished and protected."
I then hugged my she beast back and kissed her deeply and passionately more so than any human on Counter Earth would do so to any beastial. I seemed to recall that afterwards she insisted we personally work on human - beastial relations- ALL night long. I complied.
"Yes my mistress." I replied knowing that morning would again come too soon.
So there you have it, that was my first week on Counter Earth as well as my first three days with mistress Ursa. That was also what the majority of my days were like living with her- sleeping within her embrace, morning sex, exercises, communal bathing, make breakfast, learning/studying, cleaning, make dinner then reading to her in English or Animalian before bedtime.
I would spend the next six weeks learning English under professor Love's instruction. I would also deal with the occasional bad dream about my emigration to Counter Earth as well and my survivor's guilt. I will not recount that here, but suffice to say my life thus far among the beastials was wonderful, pleasurable, stable and productive- hell, I even found time to take up painting from various locations within the castle.
When I gained some proficiency in English, I was allowed to experience the lighter side of living on Counter Earth the popular culture- media, museums, night-clubs and restaurants.
Great so far huh? Well not exactly. You can't experience the light without experiencing the dark. Since I was a pet to a Knight or Wundagore and collaborator to the beastials, I was familiar with the many missions they would go on from time to time. I even accompanied the knights on a few. Quite a few. Well too many if you ask me....
