Up ahead she could smell water, with  \na grin of excitement, \"Gloriah, Jeniria water's up ahead. We can  \ndrink our fill and maybe even have a bath!\" Kicking her boots against  \nthe horse they went into a fast gallop, once they were close to the  \nwater, Yol pulled back on the reins, \"Whoa girl, whoa!\" and of course  \nGloriah came to a stop.  \n  \nYol slid down off the mare and led her to the water by the reins.  \nGloriah bent her head down and lapped up the water with her tongue,  \nthirsty as any horse could get and excited to be allowed to drink  \nfrom such a lovely river of water. Yol also drank till her thirst was  \nquenched by the cool water that she allowed into her digestive system.  \nTaking a rope Yol tied it around Gloriah's neck, it was  \nlong enough to allow her to graze. Once she was certain that Gloriah  \nwould not be able to run away and was able to graze the grass she  \nremoved the clothing she now wore that disguised her as being  \nfemale and made one think she was a young male with a fresh  \nface, then proceeded to leap into the chilly water,  \nit was cold, but not overtly so. She even brought in Jeniria with  \nher. Earlier she'd found a bar of soap that Yannis had somehow slipped  \nin without her noticing.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; With glee she began to lather the soap and clense herself of  \nthe blood and dirt caked upon her body as well as her dolls. She  \nhadn't taken notice of the light in the distance signillaing there  \nwas a house somewhere a couple miles ahead. Nor did she see the male  \nJaguar fur hanging by his wrists naked as the day he was born  \non a tree limb. She was to absorbed in her bathing as she scrubbed  \nherself with a piece of cloth now lavthered in soap.  \n  \nYol ran the cloth over her pert young breasts slowly as her mind  \nfocused on what the future held. She would get her revenge,  \nrescue Torry and whoever else who had been taken prisoner  \nfrom her village. She didn't notice that she was paying particular  \nattention to her nipples that stood erect as though she were  \naroused, but if she knew she'd put it down to the fact that she  \nwas somewhat cold, especially if she knew there was a male  \npresent even if he hadn't noticed her quite yet. Then shaking  \nher head she once more focused on the task at hand as she ran  \nthe cloth over her abdomen scrubbing her legs and feet, giving  \na little giggle here and there as it tickled in some areas. Finally  \nshe came to the last part of her body she washed, the mound between  \nher thighs. Remembering what had happened last night she wanted  \nto scrub away again and again at that tender area, but knew better  \nand slowly began to wash away anything, dirt, blood or cum that  \nmight be caught in her fur around that area.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Gar hearing splashes about nearby opened his eyes, they widened,  \nseeing the child there. She seemed slightly familiar though he  \ncould not recall where he had met her, she was nearly squeaky clean  \nand he hadn't seen her doll as it was on a rock now on the other side  \nof the shore getting dried. He was certain she'd be going in the  \ndirection of the house that Delieah and Snicker lived in and he  \ncouldn't bare the thought of someone so young going through such  \na tragic thing. He called out a muffled word meant to be hey,  \nbut it came out more like, \"Hemph.\" He wanted to get her  \nattention to warn her, even though he was entranced by  \nwatching her cleanse herself in such a private area, he  \nfelt himself becoming aroused by growled at himself inwardly.  \nHe knew he shouldn't be feeling or thinking about such things,  \nhe just wanted to help her get away before they found her.  \nApparently she was to young and even if she were not, he  \nhad nothing to offer her and apparently with the look in  \nher eyes at times, she had a mission of her own.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Yol shot from the water like a startled doe being stalked by  \nhunters, dropping the clothe and the soap somewhere  \nwithin the ripples of the river. . She hid behind the horse and  \ndressed haphazardly. \"Whose there?\"  \n  \nGar just made other muffled noises. Causing Yol to become irritated.  \nShe waded herself and Gloriah across, with Jeniria on the back of  \nthe saddle. She wasn't going to be frightened off by some prankster.  \n  \nOnce on the other side she saw some form by a tree and stepping  \ncloser, her eyes widened. \"What are you doing without your clothes  \non?\" she looked up at him and saw his eyes, they were watery,  \nfrightened and familiar though she swear that she wouldn't be able  \nto forget such a handsome face like his, tanned to a golden bronze  \nby the sun and hair ebony with streaks of a lighter color. She noticed  \nthe tail and ears, a Jaguar furre. She began to quake in fear, then  \nbanished it, he didn't appear to be the same he was a furre, not  \nan anthro, nor did he seem beastly or cruel. He too looked as though  \nhe'd been through things as horrid as herself even if that were not  \nthe case someone had tied him to the tree and left him there gagged.  \nShe had to mount Gloriah in order to remove the gag, then she had  \nto stand with a knife taken from her pocket to cut the rope.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Gar fell to the ground on his feet then hands and knees as he gasped  \nfor air having held it while she used the knife. \"Thank you, I am  \nat your mercy ma'am.\"  \n  \nYol, \"You saw me. It would have been far better for a gentleman  \nto close his eyes even if he could not turn around.\"  \n  \n\"I am sorry, but... if you go up to their house they will do the  \nsame to you. When I saw you it made me think that if I could get  \nyour attention maybe I could save you from them. I am there slave.\"  \n  \n\"Why don't you run away.\"  \n  \n\"I know no one, nor where to go, and am afraid they would take  \nme back to them.\" he stood up and looked for his clothes, someone  \nearlier had come to laugh at him and take all the clothes back  \nto the house.  \n  \nYol seeing his dilema was glad she had packed some of Yannis's  \nsons clothes from when he was older, but they still looked to small  \nfor this male. She handed him a pair of trousers none the less.  \nThey fit his waist, but quite a bit of his legs were shone. A shirt  \nwould not fit him though, he was much more muscular and had a wider  \nbreth of shoulder than it appeared Yannis's sons had had. \"You know,  \nI'm young and a female alone. Perhaps I'll be in need of a body-guard.  \nPerhaps you would do me the honor of being that for having saved  \nyou from these horrid people if you come with me. I don't know if  \nGloriah could hold both our weights though, so you'd have to walk  \nuntil we came somewhere where we could buy you a mount and some  \nclothes.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Gar looked up at her his eyes shimmering, he'd never dreamed  \nsomeone would care enough to want to help him get away, but what  \nif she wanted more, but then she was alone save for the mare  \nand she was small and young. Maybe he could go with her and protect  \nher and she would be his salvation. \"I'd like that ma'am, I'd be  \nmighty grateful, but how do you know if you can trust me.\"  \n  \n\"I don't know, but I know this, no one deserves to go through  \nwhat you apparently did. Take a quick bath and we'll be on our way.  \nAnd please don't call me ma'am I plan to get into the army and trust  \nme on this, they don't allow females in so I have to make them think  \nI'm male alright?\"  \n  \nGar nodded in understanding. Maybe this army she talked about would  \nlet him in, whatever it was. Although it brought to mind an image  \nof men in suits marching down the street while he sat beside  \nsome man in a strange suit with something golden sitting on his head.  \nHe shook himself mentally, no use in remembering what might not  \nbe real.  \n  \nYol smiled, \"Good. Now take the bath and we'll be on our way.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Gar of course complied then redressed and followed her to the house,  \nwas she going to turn him in to them. Then when they were close  \nthey moved across the front lawn and into the forest on the otherside,  \nwhere no one had dared go before, even himself, but with Yol he felt  \nthat he shouldn't, couldn't be afraid, because he had to protect her.  \nShe was perhaps to young for him, but if he wasn't careful he was  \nsure he'd end up falling in love with her, if he already hadn't  \nby now. He could hear Delieah and Snicker yelling after him, they'd  \nseen them go into the forest, but they daren't go in themselves. He  \ngrinned and whooped, \"Free at last. Thank you, thank you so much  \nma'am, uh I mean sir!\"  \n  \nYol smiled, \"The name is Yolanda. You can call me Yol.\"  \n  \nHe nodded and took her extended hand in his and gently kissed  \nthe back of it, wondering why he'd felt that was the thing to do  \neven though he'd never done it or seen it done before, unless it was  \nsomething of the mysterious past he could no longer remember. \"Gar,  \nat your service.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; They smiled at one another, they'd escaped with their lives in tact  \nhe was certain for one reason or another, kindred spirits in a way  \nperhaps they each thought even if the circumstances were not the same.  \nTogether they'd make it they both were certain, they'd remain by  \none anothers side come what may.  \n  \nGar's only thought was, 'What will happen when she finds out what  \nI am, what I turn into when the full moon is out... somehow I have  \nto make sure she doesn't know, for I'm sure she'll think me hidious  \nand wish me dead.' But right now he was to happy and would save that  \nthought for another day, as together they escaped to a new future  \nnot knowing what lay ahead, but believing in hope.  \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"In The Wake of War","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/7188-in-the-wake-of-war-chapter-two-confusion.json"}}
