The Ignorance of a World Outside your Own
Hello everybody! Thank you for clicking on the teaser to my story. I have been looking to develop my writing skills, and I felt writing this Sci-Fi novel would help! It will not be a story filled with sex, and the only thing "furry" about this story is one of the main characters and her home planet.
Please let me know how I can improve my writing! Also, if there is anybody out there that would like to help be an editor for my story, please PM me. Thank you so much!
I apologize to whomever followed my last story The Morphlings, but I started writing that story without a well developed plan. It would've ended before it started.
Everything was perfect. His eyes remained shut feeling her body draped over him, her head tenderly resting on his chest while her arms were wrapped around his sides. The soft sound of her breathing gently resonating in the air as a light breeze fluttered throughout the room. A smile crept onto his face, his right arm gliding over to softly caress her back. He could feel her body beneath her nightgown while he slowly stroked up and down her curvature. his smile grew wider when he felt her grip his shirt, pull slightly, and sigh contently. He returned her sigh and pulled her body tighter against his allowing him to feel her soft purring vibrate faintly on his chest.
He froze. Purring? His mind grew cluttered with thoughts that began to grow more and more frightening. He didn't remember having a girlfriend. He didn't remember how he got home last night. He didn't remember where home was.
The notion that he had lost part of his memory forced him to shoot his eyes open. However, everything he saw only worried him further. Partly on top of him lay girl unlike any he'd ever seen.
She was white, but not like a Caucasian. Pure white, almost glowing white. No skin was visible, only fur. She had ears like a cat that stood pointed, yet relaxed. And over everything else, her face was the most unbelievable part to him. It resembled a woman's face, but only by the shape of the eyes and mouth. The rest of her facial features resembled a cat.
The room in front of him was no room he'd ever been in before. It looked like he was in Ancient Egypt from the walls being made out of an orangish yellow sandstone and the lack of a door. However, the furniture looked unbelievably elegant. The walls were draped in purple and white tapestries, the armoire and tables looked to be made from the finest mahogany and marble, and the bed was white, lavish, and felt breathtakingly soft. The room was near silent with only the light breeze giving it motion.
His racing mind kept him silent as he took everything in but eventually, he snapped. He screamed so intensely that the vibrations from his vocal chords alone could have woken her. Her eyes darted open revealing their deep blue color causing him to shove her off his body and crawl off the bed.
Landing with a thud, his body crashed into the floor. Luckily, a small square carpet was beneath him to protect him from hitting the hard stone surface. The sound of her getting off the bed could be heard making him stand up quickly to assess the situation. Standing on the opposite side of the bed was the same girl that he pulled closer to him mere minutes ago breathing heavily.
They both simply stared at each other with wide eyes. Now that he had a better look at her standing, he noticed that her body truly resembled the shape of a teenage girl, but with a short layer of fur on top. A long, white nightgown covered most of her body, but her legs and arms still showed. A tail also made an appearance to her left, which seemed to have a thicker layer of fur than the rest of her body.
She knew he was a human male. He was Caucasian with an average build, short brown hair, and eyes that matched her vibrant blue ones. He wore black lounge pants and a black fitted t-shirt to match. She had learned in a class that he's from a planet called earth that didn't allow foreign visitors due to their government's ban on planetary entry. Why did she know that though? She couldn't even remember what planet she lived on. She remembered she had a family, but not who was in it. She remembered that she was 19 years old, but not where she had spent those 19 years. It was as if only part of her memory had been erased.
“What the hell?" He finally stammered. “Who are you? I mean, what are you, and where am I?"
She responded by backing up slightly and speaking in a language he'd never heard. It didn't sound like a cat's meow as he crudely expected, but rather alien. This only worried him further to the point of frantically looking around the room and hyperventilating.
“Did you do this?! Where am I?!" He shouted louder causing her to respond in a the same foreign tongue as before in a similar confused tone as him.
He walked to the front of the bed and sat down, making her back up all the way to the wall in the process. His hands covered his face in a mix of frustration and confusion. She hadn't done this to him, and he knew it. He could read her like an open book, and she was just as confused as he was.
An exasperated sigh escaped his lips as he tried to calm himself down enough to assess the situation. He pulled his hands from his face and let them plop down onto his lap before cocking an eye at what looked like a small wooden chest sitting on top of a table. Gradually making his way over to the chest in question he spotted a note stuck to the front. Once close enough, he peeled the note off and read it out loud.
“Put this in your ear?" He spoke, questioning the note as he read it.
Below the statement he read aloud was another line of text in an unrecognizable language, which he assumed to be for his equally confused companion. His eyes moved to where she stood before finally locking on to the chest in front of him. He lifted to the top to reveal two metal, pill shaped devices. Lifting one out of the box, he inspected it before delicately pushing it into his right ear.
His eyes shut tightly when a wave of pain coursed throughout his body. He dropped to his knees and covered his ears as he felt a small needle begin to drill its way through his eardrum. The sudden collapsing of his body caused the girl to fall down to the floor and hyperventilate out of fear. After the pain had subsided he attempted to stand up but struggled with his hazy vision and discombobulation.
“What is happening?!" He yelled as a small stream of blood dripped from his ear to his shoulder. “This is straight out of a sci-fi movie."
“He's so loud," he heard her mutter from the other side of the room.
“Of course I'm loud!" He shouted back at her, making her flinch. “My ear canal..."
He stopped mid sentence, realizing he understood every word she said.
“I can understand you now?" He questioned, only to have her return a blank stare.
He looked back at the chest containing the other metal pill then returned his gaze back to her. Grabbing the remaining device, he walked very cautiously over to her holding it out in front of him. She immediately jumped to her feet and started shouting at him.
“Stay back!" She began. “You've been brainwashed and are going to eat me!"
He stopped and gave her an incredulous stare before finally rolling his eyes. She cocked an eye at his sarcastic reaction.
“You can understand me?" She asked, which he returned with a nod.
“You can speak my language?" She queried further. He gave her a quick shake of his head before pointing to the device he held with his free hand.
“That thing let's you understand me? It looks like it hurts." He simply smiled and nodded his head fervently.
She gulped before cautiously make her way over to him. Reaching out she plucked the device out of his hand and held it in front of her face. She looked at him one final time before closing her eyes and moving her hand toward her right ear. Her hand shook slightly as the small device entered her large cat ears. After a few seconds she let out a painful scream, covered her ears, and began to writhe while standing.
He took a step back so she didn't accidentally hit him as she endured this pain. Her fit ended after about 10 seconds, yet her eyes remained tightly shut. She leaned her body to the right and let a few drops of blood spill out and onto the floor before finally opening her eyes. Their eyes met for a brief second before he grew a mischievous smile.
“How'd it feel?" He asked flatly.
