I'm sorry my dear readers but I wasn't the mood to continue the Outer Rim with the Episode 5. as This little story stuck in my head. It's not connected with the Outer Rim story-line so if you don't want you can skip it. It's just another perspective from a different time. The date and the event was mentioned a few times in the main story so if you read it carefully you know what will happen.

Sorry for the errors as I wrote it on my phone during a boring meeting at my work...¯_(?)_/¯


My name is Theodor, but everybody calls me Ned, because I have an older brother Edward and his nickname is Ted. So I stuck with the Ned (New Edward, if you ask him. So don’t.) We are living in a big house near Johannesburg in a small village called Vredefort. It was 2177 and there wasn't a lot place to live after what happened with the Human Kind.

This Village has a Shelter for wild animals as I’m a big fan of animals, I would like to be a Vet one day. My brother is mechanic so he can fix anything. This is why he got a good job at the Shelter and when I visit him at the work he used to walk me around the place so I could have a look on the animals. This Shelter wasn’t the first or last one trying to resurrect the extinct species after the Word War three.

“Look at that huge rhinoceros!” I shouted one day when they brought a big one from the cloning facility.

“Yep. His a big bastard.” He replied indifferently. He was there for five years so it wasn’t his first rhinoceros. He always told me; after a few years you won’t see anything new.

“Damn! Look at that horn!” I was excited.

“That’s a big one.” He said while he looked at his phone and read a message he got.

“You are a jerk!” I accused him and walked away.

“Wait! Where are you going?” He shouted after me.

I was near at the cages of the predators. There were mostly hyenas but then I saw a lion at the distance. I automatically took the pathway to his place. He sat near at the grid so I could see him in his full majesty. He was almost as tall as me on feet.

“Your majesty.” I whispered to him and bowed. I would like to show him respect despite the fact I know he is only an animal and he can’t understand a word of mine.

“What the hell are you thinking?” My brother arrived. “This is a closed area and these beasts are not toys. They can tear you apart within a blink.” He scolded me but I couldn’t break my attention away from the lion. He was soo…. sublime as he sat in that superior posture and looked back at me. As he would know he is far higher than me in ranks. As he would have been a true king of all creatures.

“You don’t listen!” Ted disrupted the moment.

“I do. You are whining about something.” I cut back and there was a shadow on his face. A shadow of a storm. But fortunately a huge man found us.

“Kids! This isn’t the perfect place for a word fight.” He has strange African accent. First I thought he is a black lion on two legs, he was that bestial looking. Muscles everywhere, even on places you wouldn’t expect. He was as wide as a car and if I would stand up on a chair I wouldn’t reach his height. He was robust. And that voice!

“Fine! I hope that lion will eat you!” Ted said and walked away in haste.

“I… uh.. I mean… Nice to meet you?” I was uncertain and hesitated. But he was smiling and that bestial face got some friendly look.

“Calm your knee kid. I won’t bite.” He growled and I thought it could be a muffled laughter. “I’m Abioye. You must be Ned.” He offered his hand for a shaking but I was too afraid. He could break up a coconut with two fingers, he looked that strong.

“Yes it’s me.” I shook his hand and I survived.

Then we turned to the lion still watching me. As I looked in his eyes I couldn’t see any human emotion in it. It was like I was looking out on a window to another word I won’t understand. Then I saw a spark of… maybe curiosity. It was an unexpected discovery but when I tried to find it again, I lost it.

“He and the two girls are our newest guest. They arrived yesterday.” Abioye explained so I had to broke away my attention.

“Girls?” I did not understand but he just waved to the direction. There were two lionesses in the shadow next to the entrance of the cage a few meters away. They were passive, just lying on the ground and sleeping.

“They are beautiful.” I sighed.

“If you say so. I like lions too but they are dangerous beasts. Just a blink and you caught yourself on bleeding out as they tore open your throat… if you are lucky.” He explained.

“What?” I was shocked.

“If you aren’t, then they will eat you alive. One will pin you down and the others will start the feast. At your soft parts. You will feel everything and if you have a bad day you will live till they reach your lungs or heart.” He chatted like it would have been the most natural topic of the world. I was trembling.

“But… they wouldn’t do this… would they?” I asked.

“They are predators. If they are hungry they know no mercy. They won’t feel pity or regret, they can’t empathize your situation so they won’t spare your life if they get the chance to kill you, mutilate you, tear you apart.” He looked at me seriously.

“Like humans?” I asked.

“Yes. Like us kid.”

“I understand.” I said but deeply I couldn’t. That lion in front of me looked too pure to torture someone. Oh, of course I would believe a blink that he could kill me, but not torture me or eat me alive. He would just bite my neck through and that is all.

Abioye escorted me back to Ted who was still mad at me, but he promised to the black lion he will keep an eye on me while we are in the Shelter.

Next day I thought I will visit that lion again and maybe I can see the lionesses too. The only problem was that Ted was angry with me so he left me home with my parents. I wasn’t in the mood for obeying to his words;

“Stay home or I will feed the hyenas with you” But my mom just stepped inside of his room.

“Edward Timothy Hunter! If I hear you again threatening your brother like this, I swear to God I will lock you in your room for a week.”

“But mom! I’m 27 years old!”

“It will be more shame for you.”

So obviously I was about to sneak out and visit the lions without rising any attention. It was hard as the Shelter was 10 kilometers away so I grabbed my bike and hit the road.

It was still early forenoon when I arrived and as I observed the back of the lion’s lair runway was ended with a wall. And that wall would lead me to the right side of the main building where I can climb down and head to the lions. The plan was simple but there was a little problem.

“Bloody hell!” I sighed as I looked up. That wall was at least 8 meters high. “Good plan Theodore! You forget you can’t fly.” I scolded myself. Then I saw a tree not far from the wall. So I thought maybe I can climb it then I could easily can jump across, right to the wall. It’s wide enough and there is a meter gap between the wall and the back of the cage.

The first part was simple. I was good at climbing trees as Ted and I played a lot when I was younger. But the problem started when I jumped to the wall. I slipped and the momentum carried me forward so I fall down at the other side of the wall. When I hit the ground everything went black.

***

“Is he died?” I swum in the darkness, still motionless. I could only hear muffled sounds. Someone was nearby me I could hear the grass rattle. “He is breathing.” Another person said. But the voices were strange like they came from… my head. Like they were whispers of my thoughts. I gathered all my strength and opened my eyes. The sky was still there… it was the only realization I got as I couldn’t move. The panic hit me hard like the ground before. For a brief second I thought I broke my spine and paralyzed myself. Then the pain arrived and I sat up to grab my ribcage. So I can move just laboriously. I was in front of the wall so I was wondering how I even survived a fall like that. 8 meters could be deadly or crippling but I was fine after all. I got the thought I’m a lucky bastard when I heard the grass rattle behind me and I looked for the source.

“Oh.” I was in the lion’s cage and two lionesses and that huge lion were watching me. I thought I will be the lunch. “Your majesty.” I said but my voice was choked with fear. “Ladies.” I bowed to them too, it was painful. One of the lionesses lunged at me but she stopped right in front of me. Snarled at my face while I prayed for all the gods I know from the books. Maybe one of them will listen.

“Please…” I sighed at her while she opened her mouth and aligned I to my neck. I heard a weak roar and when I blinked two the lioness were two meters away. Like the male would have told her not to kill me. I was shocked.

“Thank you. Your majesty.” I told him. He was watching me. No! He was study me. Like I would study a little lizard in a terrarium. It was strange. Then I realized I heard someone speaking near at me but there were only the lions. I drop my jaw in this realization and as the lion saw it he cooked his head a little.

“You…” I swallowed. If he can speak and I accuse him, maybe he will kill me. Obviously it’s a secret. But if I shut my mouth he can also kill me because lions do that. I was thinking. “Please don’t eat me alive or mutilate me.” I said instead. Then I slowly got myself on feet. But then something happened. I felt liquid flowing from my nose, then something hit my face…. it was the ground as I collapsed.

***

“He knows.” Someone was whispering like before. A woman. I was still in the darkness, floating without the ability to move or do anything.

“But how? Think Abby! He is a human and he has no implants.” Another woman joined the conversation. I was swum closer in my mind so I could hear them clearer.

“I don’t know. We must kill him. Torrik?” The first woman asked.

“He… has something I don’t understand. We came here to study humans and he is a subject worth studying.” A man answered the question. I was taken aback.

“But we must pretend we are just animals. If he knows we are not… he must die.”

“Or he can help.”

“Help?”

“Torrik… Captain… It’s...”

“Shut up. He is awaking.” He ordered the others as I reached my conscious and opened my eyes. The first thing I realized I was inside of a cave or something. They must have dragged me inside from the open field. Then as I slowly sat up I felt thy dried blood on my face. I must have hit myself harder than I thought.

Then I saw all the lions watching me. I got my back to the wall and was about to say something smart when I felt my head splitting like I would have hit by an axe. The pain was unbearable. Then it disappeared. Obviously I must visit a doctor as soon as possible.

“Please let me go. I’m sick and I have to see a doctor very soon.” I said to them but they just exchanged a meaningful look. One of the lioness was angry it was clear. The other looked me like she did not know what to do. But the lion was curious. Then he looked at the second lioness and I heard a whisper.

“You must step forward and approach him. Do not do anything to scare him.”

“Understood Captain.” The lioness whispered back. But they didn’t even open their mouth. They talked each other with only thoughts.

“What the bloody hell?” I was shocked. “I heard your voice inside my head.” I said then I was panicked as I debunked myself. The previously mentioned lioness drop her jaw.

“That is your death sentence.” Torrik said with his mouth and was in front of me after a few quick steps. His face was only an inch from mine and I could see in his eyes he was not happy.

“Please. I won’t tell this anyone.” I sweated myself.

“You won’t after a bite on your neck. Or we could eat you slowly, from your feet.” The not happy lioness told me from Torrik’s back. I think her name was Abby.

“Please I just…”

“Can you hear me when I talk like this?” Torrik asked with his thoughts.

“Yes.” I whispered to his nose.

“That is strange. Maybe your brain chemistry is different. We should check it before we eat you.” He used his mouth to tell me then he stepped back.

“Nicky. Check his brain.” Nicky was the friendlier lioness who just came closer, then she did something with her paw. It was hard to comprehend. Her paw spit open, but there wasn’t any blood. The two part then twisted and came back together. But it wasn’t a paw anymore. It was a mechanic device. Some kind of technology. It was an advanced prosthetic limb.

“What do you want with that?” I pointed to it.

“Don’t worry, you won’t feel anything.” She told me on reassuring tone. She waved it around my head then the paw became a paw again very fast. It was amazing to see something like this on an animal.

They walked away so I couldn’t hear the topic but it wasn’t a mystery that they had a conversation about me. I just sat at the wall of the cave and was thinking about a way out. I couldn’t use force it was out of the question so I had to do something smart, or persuade them I won’t cause any harm on them and I will keep this secret forever. They are speaking lions with advanced technology. So nobody would believe me anyway.

“You have normal brain.” Torrik told me. I didn’t know if it’s bad or not. “So we don’t know how can you hear our encrypted brain-to-brain communication channel we use. It’s impossible to eavesdrop as you don’t have the technology to do it. And you doing it with your brain only.” He was thinking.

“I don’t know how I’m doing it. But please believe me if I say I will keep your secret. Just don’t kill me. Please! I’m too young and I didn’t have done a lot things in my life.”

“How old are you?” He asked.

“I just turned to 18. Three days ago.” I told the truth.

“So you are considered as an adult in your culture.”

“Yes but… it’s just a law. I’m still young.” I protested.

“You are mature.” Abby told me. “Your genitals are developed and you can mate and have cubs.”

“But I never… you know. And I don’t have… cubs.” I was gesticulating.

“Hmm… and you are an enigma above all.” Torrik frowned. “If I kill you… hard decision… Should I keep you and solve you?” he raised his left paw and pointed to me. “Or should I kill you and eliminate the evidence of our existence?” He did a cutting motion. “Abby?” he asked from the lioness.

“Eat him slowly. I would start with his never used penis. Yummy.” She smiled at me and I could saw her teeth. That was a blood freezing predatory look. I swallowed a big.

“Nicky?” Torrik asked the other lioness.

“I’m a scientist. You know my answer; I would like to examine him but with better devices. Bring him up.”

“Let’s say I agree with you Nicky. Then what would you like to do with him? If you figured out how he could hear our BTB communication, then what? Kill him?” He asked and Abby said

“Yes!”

“No!” I protested. “If you want to study me, let’s do it but please don’t kill me after. I…” I couldn’t finish as Nicky stood in front of me and looked down at me with a smile.

“You said I’m beautiful and you meant.” She told me and I didn’t know what to answer.

“I… I… I meant.” I got it out.

“I think he could adapt the situation.” She said to Torrik behind her shoulder.

“All right. Let’s bring him up.”

“Up?” I was uncomprehending. Then something happened and the space around me whirled twice and I was somewhere else when it finished. I was in a room with beds and cabinets.

The lamps were made from something living, just like the walls, but the devices in the room were made from metal. Then I saw a small circular window and as I stepped to it I gasped. I saw the Earth under us. I was on a space ship. They brought me up to a space ship somehow. They have advanced technology indeed.

“But how? I mean. The space stations, the patrol ships and the defensive satellites couldn’t see us?” I asked.

“Our stealth system is based on… let’s just say, they can’t see us. We are cloaked.” Nicky said then I realized there isn’t Torrik and Abby. I didn’t mind Abby’s absence as she was a blood lusting bitch but Torrik was fine.

“Undress!” Nicky commanded.

“I’m sorry?”

“I said undress.” Then she pointed to a basket near a medical bed.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“Are you shy?” She laughed.

“Yes I am.”

“Then don’t be!”

“It’s not that simple.”

“I’m naked and it’s fine.”

“You are a lioness. You used to be naked.”

“True. But I’m not a lioness.”

“Then what are you guys anyway?”

“Don’t divert the topic. Get off with your cloths!”

“But!”

“Now!”

“Fine!” I realized I can’t argue with a huge predator. If I make her angry she will tear my cloths off and If I’m lucky just my cloths not my body parts or my skin. First I pulled off my shirt, then my shoes. When I pulled off my pants I became super blushed then I grabbed my underwear and hesitated. Nicky just watched the whole procedure like she is watching a show. It was more than awkward.

“Please turn away.” I asked her but she just smiled.

“All right.” She slowly turned away and then. “Just drop that thing off and lay onto the bed.” She said not looking back.

There was a little problem. As I pulled off my underwear and looked at her. And as she was back to me and she was naked indeed, I saw her lady parts. it wouldn’t have to be a problem. But as I was connecting lady parts with sex in my head I got a raging boner.

“Oh bloody hell!” I whispered.

“What?” She peeked back and smiled on my erection. “Now I know why Abby would start with your penis.”

“Not funny!” I said but my face become red.

“You told me you have never had sex. Is that true?” She asked me. ‘Why she asking me about sex? I’m trying to not think about sex.’ I was thinking.

“Yes it’s true. Why?”

“Oh… in this case, I would like to lick it.”

“You what!?” I was taken aback. But before I could react she stepped closer and took a tentative lick. Her tongue brushed the underside of my cock from the base to the tip and it was amazing. It was the first time someone else touched it. My mouth dried.

“Was it good?” She asked and I nodded. “Should I stop?” I shook my head.

She opened her mouth again, lolled her tongue while I was expecting another lick she simply lunged forward and engulfed my whole package. I did not have time to cry as I felt her teeth trapping my precious organs in that carnivorous mouth. I was expecting translucent pain and lot of blood but not happened. She curled her tongue around my length and started to suck it gently.

“Please don’t bite!” I asked just to make it sure. She smiled encouragingly and speeded up the tongue movement.

The warm, wet, moving and sucking environment washed away my doubts of being inside of a mouth with fangs and the power to bite off even my limbs with ease. As I was drifting away on the boat of the pleasure I moved my hips in and out. The slurping sounds became more vigorous as I was near the edge of my stamina. The feelings became more intense and I was aware of every bumps of her palate, every muscle movements of her tongue and as I was pushing in I accidentally hit hard one of her molar.

“Damn!” I stepped back suddenly and grabbed my cock to examine the wound.

“is that bad?” She asked with fear. It was bleeding from the left side.

“Yes it is. I was stupid!” I bemoaned my wound.

“I have an idea.” She quickly grabbed something from a drawer. It was a cylindrical object. She put that thing to the base of my cock and hissing sound came. I did not understand first then the pain faded away, tho’ it was still bleeding.

“What was that?”

“Painkiller. And it will help the wound heal.” Then she engulfed my cock again. I was about to yell, but I didn’t feel the pain, just the pleasure.

“What? But it has a wound!” I protested. She spat it out and said.

“Yes and it’s bleeding. I would like to suck the blood out from it. It tastes good and you will come inside my mouth. Don’t worry I won’t bite and when we finished I would make that wound disappear within a blink.” I just nodded as she talked so fast I did not even catch it, then my cock was inside of her mouth again and the pleaser washed away everything.

She was sucking with more force and she moaned also after every suck. It seemed that she liked the taste of my blood a lot, which was terrifying. I was expecting that she will eat my cock and not in the good meaning. But she just suckled and massaged with her tongue like she would coax out more content from it. And I enjoyed every single moment though I was like a meaty flavored nursing bottle for her.

Soon I reached the top of the feeling and I emptied my semen inside of her mouth. She moaned with me also but on a different voice. My voice was full with pleasure and lust but her voice was like I would do with an extremely delicious ice-cream. I became a dessert, it’s obvious.

“You are amazing Nicky. Thank you so much!” I hugged her with force after she released me. She patted my back.

“You are yummy. The mixture of your blood and your semen was delicious. I hope we can repeat this thing… for the sake of the science of course.” She told me and I laughed.

“Maybe if you want to have sex with me after, I would do it again.” I did a bold remark and she pushed me away just to look in my eyes.

“Have sex with you?” She asked.

“For the sake of the science.” I smiled and she frowned like she would like to get my lying.

“I will think about.” She said and I hugged her again.

After a minute she ordered me to the bed and then she poked me with devices and used unknown stuffs on me as an examination. I was just lying on the bed exhausted and was laughing inside me as I was sucked off by a lion. It was hilarious in my opinion.

“You didn’t tell me what are you as you are not a lion obviously.” I brought up the topic.

“Indeed. Well we call ourselves Tao’kale Mira.” She told me, but I didn’t understand this strange name. “And by the way; Welcome on Life Space 3rd.”

“Life Space?” It was a strange name.

“You will see it.” She smiled next to me. Then red sirens came down from the ceiling and a voice told us;

“Warning! Blue Wave Energy Explosion in progress. Brace yourselves: dimensional shifting, five, four…” I quickly jumped to the window and I saw a big blast engulfing the planet which was my home. My brother, my mother, my father and my friends. Everything and everyone I know was vanishing in front of me as that bluish waving energy cloud engulfed the surface of Earth. When the voice above reached “one” a vortex appeared at the rear of the ship and we went into.

“I’m sorry Ned. You will be fine at Oharet; Our home planet.” She patted my shoulder as I was fighting with my tears.

I witnessed the end of the Human Kind.
