The Woodland Visitor Pt 2

I was sitting at my desk editing some photos for an old couple up the road when I heard this scratching at the back door. Suddenly the door opened and in rushed a female Anthro deer. I jumped up as I recognized her. It was Sienna and it was six months ago when she left me in the middle of the night. She didn't even say goodbye, she just left. Now here she was again.

She ran up to me and grabbing my arm began pulling me towards the door. "Kelah help."

"What's wrong? Slow down and tell me what's wrong."

She pulled me harder and said, "Kelah help, wolves."

My eyes widened when I heard that. I ran over to the closet and grabbed my pack. Then reaching into the back of the closet I pulled out an automatic rifle.

The rifle belonged to my friend Josh. He dropped it off for me to hold on to while he went to New York to visit his ex-wife. That was three years ago and I haven't heard from him since.

Throwing the pack onto my back I slipped four clips into my pockets and the fifth one I inserted into the rifle. I'm glad that Josh took the time to teach me how to use it even when I had no interest in guns. I drew the charging handle back and watched as the bolt shoved a round into the chamber.

I turned and with Sienna in the lead we ran out into the forest. It was an hour later when we topped a small hill and saw what she was talking about. Before me were ten Anthro animals there was a fox and a cheetah lying on the ground. The cheetah looked to be badly wounded and the fox was attending him. Standing in front of them were two foxes, a buck and a skunk trying to hold off four Anthro wolves with spears. The wolves looked like they were slowly driving the other Anthros back.

I charged right down and stopped right in between the two parties. Raising the rifle I took aim at one of the wolves. Everyone stopped fighting when I arrived. Turning my head slightly I yelled, "Get them out of here. I'll take care of the wolves."

I heard movement behind me and saw Sienna rush down to the others.

"Get out of our way human."

Turning back to the wolves I said, "Fuck you puppy. You want them you're gonna have to get through me first."

"We laid claim on the injured one. He's ours."

"I'm now laying claim on the injured one so go hunt somewhere else." I turned my head just enough to see the others were topping the hill and getting away.

"No one takes our prey away. You will pay for that human. Tonight we will dine on you."

"I tell you what, if you think you're strong enough to do it then come on, otherwise I suggest that you get your little shit eating carcass out of here before I get upset."

Suddenly two of the wolves jumped towards me and quickly I turned the rifle and fired two shots. Then quickly fired a third shot. Unfortunately the rifle jammed and I couldn't get it to work quick enough. Three of the wolves had fallen and I watched as the leader leapt towards me.

That little bit of martial arts I learned as a kid paid off. When the wolf was close enough I spun the rifle around and caught him across the side of the head with the stock. He landed hard on his side and looked up at me.

"So the human knows how to fight."

"Fight, I'm just playing you fucking mutt."

"Mutt, you'll pay for that you hairless freak."

"Thank you, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day. How much do I owe you?"

He growled and lunged at me again. This time he caught me on the side with his claws. "How's that manling?"

"Not bad, but how's this instead." I spun around and swinging the rifle caught him right in the chest. Then just as fast I reversed my swing and caught him across the side of the head with the rifle. He went flying back and landed on his shoulder.

The battle went on like this for an hour. He would attack then I would then he would. Back and forth, neither one showing any weakness or even any sign of giving in. I knew this would be to the death and it had to end soon or else it would be mine.

Barely able to fight I waited and the break I hoped for came sooner than I expected. He charged me hoping to finish me off. I leaned to the side and as he tripped over my leg I brought my hand around and hit him where his neck met his shoulders. The resulting impact sent him sprawling face first in the dirt. I quickly jumped on his back and placing one hand on his closed jaw and the other on the back of his head I yanked my hands in opposite directions. There was a sickening crack then the wolf lay still.

Slowly I got to my feet and looked down at what I did. I took three steps and fell to my knees vomiting. When the spasms had passed I got to my feet and found the rifle. Slowly I made my way to the top of the rise. Looking around I caught some movement in the bushes to my right. Raising my rifle I sagged to my knees and passed out.

I woke up to find myself tied to some sort of bed. I struggled but the straps that bound me were too tight. I couldn't move at all.

"Please don't struggle. You'll only injure yourself worse. Now that you're awake I can remove the straps." I felt someone by my feet and then felt the straps there being removed. "I'm sorry about this but when you were out you were very restless. I had to strap you down so you didn't do yourself any more damage." By that time he was removing the last of the straps and I was free. I went to sit up when he placed his hand on my chest pushing me back down. I saw that it was a fox who had removed my bonds. "I must insist that you stay still. The cuts on your side are barely closed and I don't want them to open up again. I had a hard enough time closing them the first time."

I slowly relaxed and looked at him.

"I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind." I nodded. "How did you come across us? Did you just stumble across us or what?"

"I was told that you needed help."

"By who?"

"Sienna told me."

"That's impossible. Sienna doesn't talk. She never has."

"She can talk. She only speaks in one or two word sentences, but she talks."

"She can not talk I tell you."

"Then how did I know that her name was Sienna, or that Kelah need help. She told me that wolves were attacking."

He placed his hand upon my shoulder then as if he made a decision he turned and walked over to the door. Opening it up he spoke to someone outside then closed it and came back over. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Kelah. It was me and Rodane that you saved. If you wouldn't have got there when you did Rodane wouldn't have made it. He owes you his life."

There was a knock on the door and I watched him walk over and open it. Then I watched him step to the side as a female deer came into the room with her head down. He reached over and turned her head towards me. Her eyes widened when she saw me "Tom!" she rushed over to my side and stopped just before she would have grabbed me. I reached up and pulled her down to me embracing her in a big hug. Then turned and kissed her.

Kelah stood there in astonishment as she embraced me.

"I missed you."

"Miss you." She replied.

"That's incredible. She has never talked from the time she was born. We all thought that she couldn't talk."

I looked over to him and when she went to leave I grabbed her hand and pulled her back. She looked down at me. She found a spot on the edge of the bed and sat down. "Mad?"

"At you? No, I'm not mad. I am very curious why you left without saying goodbye."

She looked down and in a soft voice replied. "No goodbye, hard."

"Why did you leave?"

"Miss family."

"I wish you would have told me that."

"No upset."

"I wouldn't have been upset. I thought you didn't like me so you left."

She reached over and ran a hand down the side of my face. "Like you lot."

By this time the fox had pulled a chair over and sat down beside us. "You mean to tell me that she was with you the time she disappeared?"

"You didn't know?"

"No we assumed she just wanted to be alone."

I looked up at her and she smiled. "Tell?"

"You want me to tell them what happened?" She nodded and dropped her head as if she was blushing. "If that's what you want." I said.

"One second while I get Brenah." He stood up and left.

Within five minutes he was back this time he had a large buck with him. "Tom?" When I nodded he smiled. "This is Brenah, he's our leader."

The buck walked over and held out his hand which I took and shook. "It's surprising to find a human who would endanger himself to help us. I owe you a debt."

"I would do it again if I could."

He turned to Sienna and ruffling her hair like one would do with a child he said, "So what kind of mischief have you caused this time?"

She bowed her head then looked over to me. "Tell."

"So she does talk." Then he turned to me, "Tell what?"

"She wants me to tell you what happened to her when she disappeared before."

"We were wondering that."

I told him about what happened starting with the feeling of being followed, to when I heard the trap go off and finding her. Then how she wanted me to go before the wolves got me too. I told them how I carried her to my house and cared for her until she was able to walk on her own. Of how she got to know me and liked my clothes and music.

"So that's where the clothes came from. That was another mystery."

"She liked them so much I gave them to her. It made her happy." I caught her eye as she looked at me and read the unspoken thanks for not telling everything that was written there. I ran my hand along the side of her face and smiled back.

"So she was with you that whole time?"

"Yes, I couldn't very well let her go with her leg injured the way it was, especially since she said that there were wolves in the area."

"Indeed not. I owe you for that. In the meantime, you need to rest and heal. It's time we repaid you for helping her." He stood up and turning back said, "When you're better we'll talk more." Then he turned to Sienna and with a stern face he said, "As for you young lady. You need to be punished for running off and getting everyone worried." I saw her face take on a sad look then she slowly stood up.

I was wondering if I should say anything when he turned her head up so she was looking right at him. "I think I have figured out a punishment fitting the crime. If I hear that you have not fulfilled the punishment then next time it will be more severe. You will stay here and make sure Tom is comfortable. Get him anything he needs. Got that?" She liked up at him surprised. "Got that?" he repeated. When she nodded he continued. "If I hear that you are not performing the task that I have set for you, I will impart a more severe punishment on you."

He turned to me and winked. "I will see you later, rest well."

"Thank you."

When he left she looked down at me quizzically.

"Don't ask me, I don't know why he did that. It's as much a mystery to me."

"Glad."

"Me too."

It took me five days before I could get out of bed and walk around without assistance. Sienna took me out at Kelah's insistence. He wanted me to exercise my muscles and walk off some of the soreness. Sienna brought me a cane that she had made herself from the branch of a strong oak. I was easy to see that she had been working on it for some time. There were carvings all up and down its length and towards the top it was encircled with gems.

With one arm around her, more for comfort than support, and the other holding the cane which I was leaning on we made our way out into the village. The first thing I noticed was that the 'village' was bigger than the town I lived in. there was easily ten thousand Anthro's living here. By this time I knew what they were. I wondered how a town this large could go unnoticed by humans. Turning to Sienna I voiced the same thing to her.

Smiling she replied, "See Brenah."

We walked down the main street and up to an ornately decorated building. The sign in the front read: Brenah, Regional Magistrate. She led me inside and up to the receptionist. When we reached the desk there was a zebra female writing in a book. Without even looking up she said, "I'll be with you in one minute." When she finished writing she closed the book. "May I help you?" She said as she looked up. Then seeing who was standing before her she stopped dead and stared. Then suddenly shaking off the shock she turned to Sienna. "Who's your friend Sienna?"

I removed my arm from around her and held it out to the receptionist. "I'm Tom."

She took my hand and shook it. "And I'm Ariana. I've heard a lot about you Tom. I was told how you helped Sienna. I'm glad to see that there are some humans that would help us. I also want to thank you for helping Rodane. He's my mate and when I heard what you did I wanted to thank you personally."

"As I told Brenah, I would do it again even knowing what would happen to me."

"Do you wish to see Brenah?"

Sienna nodded then looking down said, "Yes."

"When Brenah told me you talked I didn't believe him." She stepped around the desk and placed her arm around Siennas shoulder. "I'm glad that you can, now if you'll wait one second I'll see if he's free." She walked down the hall and into one of the doors on the end. A minute later she stepped out and motioned for us to come down.

We entered the office and immediately saw Brenah walking forward. He grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously. "It's so good to see you up and around Tom." He turned to Sienna and hugged her. She hugged him back. "And you too sweetie."

Then he motioned for us to take a seat. I slowly made my way over to a chair and with Siennas help sat down. I was still sore and it was hard to do some things. Sienna sat down in the chair beside me.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" Brenah asked.

Sienna looked from me to him then said, "Town."

He looked at her then to me. I took this as my cue and asked. "I was wondering how a town this size could go unnoticed by humans. I mean this town is huge."

"I see, well that question doesn't come with an easy answer, but I'll try. In your world I guess you could say that we employ magic. I mean the only way to find this city is to know exactly what you are looking for and have the will to find it. Otherwise you could roam the woods forever and not find it. The key is that you have to really want to find it. There have only been a handful of humans to come here." He suddenly sobered up and his eyes got a far away look to them. "The last one was twenty years ago. I placed my trust in a human who betrayed me."

Sienna sat up at this. He turned to her, "No little one I haven't told you about this. It's about time that you found out. Twenty years ago I met a human woman in the forest. I was young, being only twenty-five and she was twenty-two. She was lost and I helped her find her way back home. I visited her many times after that. We fell in love or so I thought. When she had a child she brought it to me to raise as my own. A little bit later I found out that she had been seen with another man. It broke my heart and when I next seen her I told her none to gently that it was over between us. I left her begging me not to go, that she still loved me. I ignored her pleas and left, never to see her again. Her name was Amanda Blackwell and I still miss her to this day."

My eyes popped open when he mentioned the name. Widow Blackwell lived down the street from me. I never saw her with visitors or company of any kind. She always sat on her porch and stared off into the woods. Could it be the same one? It had to be.

"Did you ever find out if it was true that she was with another man?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. I saw her come out of her house with the man and walk him to his car. Then with a smile on her face she bid him goodbye."

"Maybe there was another reason."

"There could be no other reason."

Seeing that this upset him I changed the subject. "You mentioned that she had a child and that she brought it to you to raise. Where is this child?"

He walked over and standing in front of Sienna reached out and caressed the side of her face. "I only have memories of my love now. That together with her child has been all that has kept me going all theses years."

"You mean that..."

"Yes, Sienna is the child of Amanda Blackwell, the child of the only person I loved." He turned back to me. "For years afterward I mistrusted humans. I made sure that everyone knew that I would not tolerate anyone associating with them." Then he turned back to Sienna. "Then you come back wearing human clothes. I was so upset at the time. I did everything I could to keep you from going back. It wasn't enough. If you weren't there when the wolves attacked and brought your human friend back to help, everyone might be dead." He turned back to me and leaned against the edge of the desk. "I still refused to send help back even when I was told what you did. Sienna made it clear that if I didn't she was going to leave and never return. I had no choice but to send someone. They found you lying unconscious at the top of the rise. They also found the wolves lying at the bottom, dead."

He walked back around the desk and sat down in his chair again. "They brought you back and treated your wounds. I never told Sienna that you were here. I told her that they took you and dropped you off in the human lands and you were helped by humans. She believed me about that."

"Mad!"

"I'm sorry that I lied to you, but I didn't want you to go through the same thing I did."

"Not same."

"Maybe not, but how do you know?"

"Like him."

"I loved Amanda too. She still betrayed me."

Sienna turned to me. "No hurt?"

Smiling I reached over and ran my fingers through the fur of her cheek. "No, I will not hurt you. Not now or ever."

"I hope not for her sake."

I looked at Brenah. "I can't say that you're wrong for mistrusting humans. But not all humans are the same. There are some in the world that you could trust. I just hope that I can prove that I'm one of them."

"I hope you can too for my daughters sake. I am going to allow you to stay here for as long as you want, or until you prove that you aren't to be trusted."

"I thank you for placing that much trust in me sir."

"It's not as much trust as it is hope."

"I will not make you regret that decision."

"For some reason I believe you." He walked around the desk and held out his hand. Slowly I stood up, but just before I made it all the way, pain hit me from my wound. If it wasn't for Brenah and Sienna both grabbing for me I would be on the floor. When the pain stopped I straightened up. Brenah reached for my cane and was about to hand it to me when he stopped and examined it. He looked over to Sienna who turned and seemed to blush, then handed me the cane.

"I'm sorry to rush you out but I have a meeting to attend to. You should go back and rest before you do yourself some harm. My door will always be open to you if you would care to talk. As long as I'm not busy, I'll be more than happy to talk to you."

I held out my hand and he reached over gripping it firmly. "Thank you sir, I'll take you up on that offer one of these days."

Sienna came over to my side and led me out the door and down the hall. When we reached the receptionist I waved to her.

"You two have fun and don't do anything that I wouldn't do." She said with a mischievous smile. Sienna ducked her head in again what I come to assume was her equivalent of a blush. She led me outside and back towards the building I was in. Just before we reached the building she turned me towards another building. She unlocked the door and led me inside. I stood there while she tried to light a lantern.

For all the modern looking buildings that they had they still used oil lamps for lighting. She grew frustrated at not being able to light the lamp when I reached into my pocket and pulled out my lighter. I walked over and easily lit the lamp. She was fascinated with the lighter and I spent the next half hour showing her how to use it. After singing the hair on her hand several times she was able to light lamps with it. When the lamps were lit she brought the lighter back to me. Looking down at it one final time she held it out to me. I reached out and closed her hand back around it. "You keep it. I can get another one. Just remember, when the liquid inside is gone then it won't light anymore. It's time to get another one."

She nodded at me then set the lighter above the fireplace. I looked around the room then turning back to her I asked, "Whose house is this?"

She looked right at me then smiling she said, "Mine."

"This is where you live?" She nodded. Then she grabbed my hand and led me down the hall to a room at the end. Taking me inside, she went over to the wall above the bed and shined the light there. I saw that she had taken the two photos that I printed and tacked them to the wall.

"See, never forget you."

Walking over to stand beside her I put my arm around her and said, "Yes I see. I think I'll have to print out some more photos and put them into frames for you. Then you can hang them up the right way. Would you like that?"

"More Pik-trs?"

"Yes more Pictures."

"Pik-trs of you?"

"Of what ever you want."

"Like pik-trs of you."

"Then you shall have them."

She turned and kissed me. Just then there was a knock on the door. She backed off and we went out to the front. She opened the door and Kelah was standing there.

"I figured that you two would be here. Have you been here the whole time?"

"We just came from talking with Brenah."

"Anyway, you were gone for so long I began to worry. I think under the circumstances, I mean since it is her punishment to help you that you can stay here."

Siennas eyes grew large as she stared at Kelah. "Besides I could use the room for another patient who just came in. I brought your stuff here so you would have it." He turned and pointed to my pack and rifle setting beside him on the porch. Sienna jumped forward and grabbed the rifle and was about to grab the pack when Kelah picked it up. "Where do you want it?"

She turned to lead him down the hall when I reached out and took the rifle. She watched as I removed the magazine and soon ejected the round that was jammed. Then I placed it on safe and handed it back to her after she picked up the round from the floor. I took the round and placed it back in the magazine then handed her that too. She took them and went down to her room. Soon she returned and we said our goodbyes to Kelah.

She closed the door and led me down the hall to her room. There she pushed me towards the bed and set me down. "Rest," Was all she said as she proceeded to remove my clothes. When she had me stripped she pushed me back and covered me up.

"Lights out then back." She stood up and left the room. I could hear her moving around in the other room. Soon she was back and with a smile on her face she blew out the light and climbed into bed beside me.

"Missed this."

"I missed you beside me too."

She curled up against me and carefully draped her arm and leg across me, being careful not to hit my wounds. Then she gave me a kiss and said, "Good night." Then she laid her head on my chest.

The next morning she woke up as the sun was beginning to rise and looked down at me. She began to caress my face then down my body beginning at the neck. She was careful not to rub anywhere that I was sore or wounded. Her caresses soon woke me up and accomplished what she wanted.

My cock slowly came to life. She ran her finger tips up and down its length getting it harder by the second. Then she bent down and began licking on it. It wasn't long before I was moaning with pleasure. She smiled, then she straddled me and carefully crouching down she impaled herself on my cock. Slowly she rode up and down on my cock.

Soon she threw her head back and began moaning and panting in pleasure. She began to quicken her pace and soon she was flying up and down on my pole. I watched as her hands began to rub her tits. She grabbed and rubbed at her nipples. I reached down and began rubbing her clit. That did it and sent her over the edge.

She started shuddering and screaming as she impaled herself on my cock. Feeling her cunt contract around my pole was all it took for me and I unloaded myself into her. She stopped bouncing and sat fully impaled on me as I emptied myself into her and she came down from her orgasm.

She opened her eyes then looked down at me. "Good morning."

Laughing I kissed her hand because I couldn't sit up. She carefully bent down and I gave her a long kiss. Then when she set back up with me still impaled in her I said, "Now that's what I call a wakeup."

We both had a laugh and I could feel her cunt contracting slightly around my cock. Suddenly her eyes opened wide, and then she smiled as she felt me get harder. Slowly she began to ride me again. This time I was able to bring her off three more times before she again had me emptying my load into her.

This time she climbed off of me and giving me another kiss she said, "Be back, you rest."

I laid there totally exhausted and about a half an hour later she returned.

She began tugging at my arm and said, "Come."

I got up and followed her into another room where she had a tub filled with water. In one end of it she placed a stool. Dragging me over she helped me into the tub then had me sit down on the stool. She climbed in and settling down between my legs, she proceeded to wash me being careful not to get my wounds wet. When I was clean she washed herself up then we stepped out of the tub. She shook herself off then remembering how I dried off she went and found a towel she used for dishes. Walking back into the room she apologized.

"All have. No for body."

"That's ok." I reached for the towel and she swatted my hands away and proceeded to dry me off. Then she retrieved my clothes and helped me get dressed.

The next stop was the kitchen where she set me down and gave me a bowl of fruit. "All have." She said with a slight hint of sadness.

"This is good. Don't worry."

She smiled when I said this. Setting down beside me she began to feed me some fruit. I smiled and pretended to nip at her fingers a couple of times. This had her giggling and trying to feed me without me biting her. Once I did get her fingers and her mouth opened in surprise when I sucked all the fruit juices from them. We finished eating and she had just washed the juices from her fingers when there was a knock on the door.

She looked at me then went and answered it. When she opened the door I saw that it was Brenah. She turned her head to look at me then back towards her father.

"Good morning pumpkin. Hello Tom, I hope you slept well and she didn't wear you out."

"I slept wonderfully. After she forced me to bed I fell asleep immediately and don't remember anything till this morning."

Sienna looked down and in her classic blushing pose said, "Wore out this morning."

"Well I took the day off to show you around and answer any questions you have. I figured we could start in the market if you feel up to it."

I looked at Sienna and she nodded. "Then I'm ready whenever you are."

"Good, the market should be opening any minute."

"Need food."

"Then we can double up and get your food while we show Tom the market."

Sienna nodded and went to get my cane. Then with my arm around her I followed Brenah out and towards the market. As we went along he began explaining about the town to me.

We spent the entire day wandering the main part of town from end to end. We even stopped in to see Kelah, at Brena's insistence, to look at my wounds. He said that I was healing well. When he saw the cane he hesitated and looked at Sienna then told me to continue using the cane if I felt I needed it.

We ended the day with dinner at Brenahs' house. By the time we made it home I was totally exhausted and Sienna led me to the bedroom. There she stripped me and climbed into bed beside me. Curling up under my arm with her head on my chest we both fell asleep quickly.

After two weeks I decided that I had to go home incase someone wanted me. I told everyone that I would be back and with Sienna who insisted on accompanying me I headed home.
