Dogman Chapter 1
#1 of Dogman
Alright everyone I need to tell you a few things before you start reading. This is in the surrounding wooded areas of Reed City, Michigan, there have been many werewolf sightings here and I have done a lot of research on dogmans personality and how dangerous he is so if you decide to go looking around there just remember this about him, he's the safest werewolf I've herd of but that's not saying much, if you go in there with a gun you might as well shot yourself with it cause hunters have gone missing in michigan but only night hunters, he loves to chase his prey and it seems to end just with the chase some how people escape and loves to mess around with people like ramming into their car, chasing them, stalking them, but bewared he is more best then man so you have no clue what could set him off, and if he's hiding get away because otherwise you will probably get a nasty surprise. Just a little tip stay in the fucking car, he can go about 40 mph on all fours from what I have herd. I'm not 100% sure if he is a male but judging by the build of his body I would say I'm 99% sure he's a male, the only reason you can't tell for sure if he's got balls or not is because he is extremely hairy in that area. Before I forget this didn't really happen of course as much as I wish it would.
I was driven down an old country road to get to my spot where I always take an afternoon jog when my favorite song ends on the radio and just as I'm about to change the radio station The Legend comes on the air "this stuff is bullshit." I have never believed in werewolves because they sound so ridiculous and besides that, wouldn't the media and the military go after them if they were real. All people say about the "Dogman" is that it's big, fast, mean, and fucking hairy ha what ever, those people are crazy hicks anyway. I mean they said it goes 40 mph um I think there mistaking that creature with the bear (bears can only go 35 mph, so you notice the difference in a car). I finally arrive to my spot and I pull my bashe (brownish tan) 1999 Chrysler LHS into the one of the four parking spots, turn off the egnision, get my MP3 because I can't jog without it, turn it on, put the earphones in my ears, and secure it to my waist and get out of my car, lock it, and start jogging toward the trail. I take one last look at my car 'everyone I know calls this car the tank because it's so wide, I have to agree with them it's a huge sedan, I remember one of my friends in high school telling me to turn off the canon but back then it was my moms car, I swore I was gonna buy that car from her and I did. I also remember the first time I took it ok old county G which is a 5 mile straight and I let her stretch her legs probably for the first time considering we bought it from an old guy anyway that day I got her to go 120 mph but that was it and it was the first car I drove that had a correct speedometer because it went up to 120 mph and stopped'. As I enter the woods and onto the 2 mile trail I remember why I even jog out here rather than at the gym like everyone else. Well for one this place is so beautiful, two I love nature and don't destroy it, three I can't stand running in place because I feel like I haven't accomplished anything, and four the world isn't flat like a treadmill so even if your in shape one wrong step when your running and your done. It's like having a fast car and a new driver, that person can't handle that much power the car has, one wrong move and your done. The only reason people don't come out here anymore is because of that dam dogman.
I stop, pause my song, and look around 'something feels wrong about this but I don't see, hear, or smell anything out of the ordinary in fact I can't hear anything at all, not even the wind and even though that's really creepy it means that there's nothing moving around out there so I'm good but it still sends a shiver down my spine. I play my song and pick up my speed and am about to turn a sharp corner where there have been some accidents where people weren't paying attention and miss the sharp turn and fall on this 100 foot slope that's barley climbable, when out of nowhere I get pushed and miss the turn and fall down this very steep slope hitting trees doing god knows what kind of damage to my body and my body is still picking up speed and hitting more trees and bushes until I finally hit the bottom with a thud knocking me unconscious.
I awoke with my head throbbing painfully and the right side of my hip feels like it's been hit by a sludge hammer. I moan in pain as I slowly get to my feet painfully then everything that just happened to me comes back 'someone pushed me. I look around but I'm still in the same area I was before and the only thing different is it's dark out here, DARK oh shit what time is it'. I look at my watch which shows 12:03 am then my eyes go wide and I whisper to myself "midnight" then I cautiously look around 'who every pushed me is probably still out here but where'. 'oh shit my music still playing, hell the battery has got to be just about dead by now after playing for 12 straight hours, dam they weren't kidding about this battery lasting half a day thank god it's solar powered too anyway I'll have to look into that later, right now I have to focus on getting the hell out of here alive'. I slowly and painfully climb 100 feet up the steep slope and make it to the top 'finally thank god I've been staying in shape because it's paying off, dam a full moon too, that's creepy' "what the fuck is that" in the moon light there are footprints but not normal footprints, so I kneel down and get out my MP3 and turn it on and flash the light off of that onto one of the footprints since I don't have a flashlight 'wow this is weird I've seen big wolf paw prints before but this is ridiculous it's half the size of a bear paw print when it should be one fourth that size, okay so a big wolf pushed me off the edge, no that can't be but then again there's no other prints around here but my own, what the fuck is going on I mean is this dogman stuff not bullshit after all, no that's impossible, just concentrate on getting out of here alive.'
I followed the trail back to my car 'these prints are changing with every step to more human like foot prints and there going straight for oh no, MY CAR' I run the rest of the way and slow down as I get near the entrance and once I exit the trail I stop dead in my tracks because there in front of my car stood a tall dark figure facing away from me and toward my car looking out into space 'I stand just at 6 foot and this thing is a good foot taller holly shit and is that fur covering this thing' suddenly I realize I'm standing in the open with nothing on but my jogging shorts, MP3, and my watch witch shows 12:36'. It turns around slowly and now I can plainly see what it is 'it's the DOGMAN, the fucking dogman I don't believe what my eyes are seeing. A creature I thought didn't exist is standing 10 feet in front of me, but he doesn't look like what everyone else said he does. Then again everyone else said he can shape shift which I'm willing to believe anything at this point. Man his eyes are glowing blue where mine have an unusual grayish whitish look to them, but his fur and my hair are as dark as coal. Thank god I never was the type that got pale skin, I don't know why but I always have had an even tan, then again my family history shows no problems with our skin which is good because I stay out in the sun with just shorts on and no sunscreen on me a lot. I don't think this guy has to worry about that, another thing about this guy is that he is gifted with and huge package and a big sheath at least I think that's big for his kind, I'm not gay but tiring to ignore that is like tiring to ignore an elephant in the room'.
He narrows his eyes and looks directly into mine "are you challenging me?"
I avert my eyes and look around barley keeping myself from shaking 'shit I forgot that's how you start a challenge and I don't want to start one especially in my current state, then again I doubt I would last long even if I was up to par. "No, I... I just never seen anyt... anyone like you before so I was gawking." 'Shit he is gonna eat me, I don't want to die, man I don't want to die'.
He chuckles for a second then looks me in the eyes but I don't let mine linger long "gawking huh well do you know why I'm here."
I turn my head slightly to my right and to the ground and narrow my eyes "To finish me off."
He tilts his head in confusion the only way a dog can "If I wanted to kill you I would have done so a week ago when I first saw you, in fact I want to get to know you, you see everyone either screams, looks at me as though I'm going to kill them, or runs away when all I want is a human friend to talk to."
This time I narrow my eyes at him and I say with venom "get to know me well that's fucking weird because the last time I looked when I wanted to 'get to know someone' I don't go around pushing them onto steep fucking slopes, you could have killed me you know you...." I trailed off from there.
He just smiles at me "your stronger then the rest, everyone else complains about little cuts and scrapes..."
"Oh w... well my fucking head is throbbing with a ton of pain while my hip feels like it's broken so I wouldn't count those as 'cuts and scrapes'. I mean I usually don't piss and moan about a scrape and if it bothers me I will put some medicine on it but what I have aren't 'cuts and scrapes'."
He shakes his head at me "I realize you humans are weaker then us and it doesn't mater what kind of wound you have because I can heal......"
"Then fucking heal me so I can get the fuck out of here."
He just smiles and shakes his head at me again "I wounded you for one reason and that was so that you couldn't escape, not that you could anyway but I just want to make sure."
'I don't like how he keeps smiling at me like that and I can't shake the feeling I know what he has in mind for me'. "If you expect me to believe that you planed all of this out just to talk to me then your mistaking me for a moron."
"I desire a mate an..."
"hahahhahahahahahsahahahahaha you have to be kidding I would rather die..."
As I laugh and say those words to him, he blows up "SHUT THE FUCK UP, I don't need anyone else reminding me that this isn't right but I don't have a fucking choice because YOUR PEOPLE can't stop hunting us and blaming everything bad on us when we didn't do it or we did it to survive, in fact I'm the last of my kind that I know of anyway."
'Now I feel bad, here's a brave guy, I mean he just fucking purposed to me because my race killed all of his kind and he has no one else to chose from but wolves and I he wouldn't be here with me if he wanted a wolf mate and I can't even hear the poor guy out'. "Sorry I didn't know."
He tilts his head again "what do you mean you didn't know."
'This should be interesting' "w... well even the 'werewolf hunters' don't talk about it because they will be laughed at and if they brought in a body to convince the skeptics the military would get involved and fucking screw up everything like they always do making life very difficult even for the 'werewolf hunters'."
He looks at me puzzled "your people are confusing and stupid, I don't get why your people have to make everything so complicated, why doesn't your government just come out and tell the public about all the different creatures they have found?"
I put my hand over my chin and start rubbing it "Well from that standpoint I have to agree with you, but they don't tell us so there is no wide spread panic, but still why do we have to feel threatened by your race, so what your race is stronger and faster it doesn't mean you will use your powers to evil ends."
"Well for one it's not smart not to tell your people about these creatures because if your wondering in there territory and there hungry an find you will be killed there's no way you can escape them, I have been all around this country and have seen many creatures and not all of them are forgiving, I had to fight my way out of a few areas and I almost died once. It's about time one of your people figured out that were not all evil, I was begging to think that it was never going to happen."
'So what's he going to do with me' "hey what going to happen of me."
"Your going to be my mate."
My eyes widen 'before he was giving me a choice now he's demanding it' "No I'm not."
He grins evilly "you don't have a choice."
My eyes are still wide "what do you mean I don't have a choice you can't force me to love you."
He looks back at my car then back at me "well you not going back so you gonna have to love someone and I don't think your gonna wanna love any of the wolves."
With a disgusted look "ewwwww that's disgusting hell no, besides that I like the opposite sex not the same so your fucked."
He narrows his eyes. "so will you if you keep treating your alpha with disrespect."
I narrow my eyes at him "disrespect, do you have any idea what that word even means because compared to what you have done and said to me so far I am the one who has been treated with disrespect."
He smiles again "congratulations you passed."
With a look of total confusion"alright now I'm lost, what did I pass?"
"You beat your alpha in a conversation almost twice actually because I had to lie to you before."
"Ummm why the fuck does this matter."
"As my beta it is your job to calm me down and explain things to me rationally so I don't overreact or make bad decisions for the pack."
"Okay...that makes sense but there just wolves there gonna follow you no matter what."
He grins "remember when I said that I lied to you."
I rub my forehead "this is gonna make things complicated isn't it."
"I'm not the only one of my kind left actually there are four others besides me in my pack and one wolf."
"Why did you lie to me about that and why do you only have one wolf?"
"Well I didn't want you to beat me so quickly in a conversation so I lied and I'm sorry about that."
"And the one wolf thing."
He sighs "alright this is going to sound strange but we don't have female 'werewolves', so we have to use our four legged ancestors to reproduce."
I put hand on my forehead and move it down to my mouth 'oh please don't tell me' "So what do you do about...you know urges."
He grins "we have what I think what your people call an orgy."
"A what?"
"You know where a group of people ge...."
"Yeah yeah yeah you used the right word so there's no need in explaining it. If I ever get home I can just imagine my parents asking what happened? Well first a gay werewolf pushes me off that slope that you always warned me about and he almost broke my hip, then says that I'm to be his mate and come back with him to his den where his pack has an orgy and they want me as the pack fuck toy and you should hear how they reproduce it's hilarious...."
His smile turns into a scowl, he runs toward me and grabs my neck and throws me to the ground and he still has his hand on my neck squeezing just enough for me to breath and says in a harsh voice "Listen you little fucker I don't care if you make little jokes about me or my pack but don't ever let me catch you talking about the way we reproduce again because my people have been ashamed of it a lot longer than you have been alive and no one in the pack wants me to bring a human back anyway because of how untrustworthy you humans are to begin with but the decision is mine not there's and besides I've had a thing for humans since I first saw one."
I stair at him wide eyed and shack my head with fear that I wont do that again.
He releases his hold on me and gets off me and offers his hand "come on get up we need to get back, I can't have the pack worry about me?"
"And you expect me to come with you because of what just happened, ha as I said before you must be mistaking me for a moron. I'm not going to make this easy for you."
He smiles "I've never seen someone so stubbornly persistence in preserving there freedom but it doesn't matter I'll knock you out if I have to."
"I can't put up a fight and even if I tried I already know who is gonna win so why bother."
"So then how are you gonna make this hard for me?"
"Have you ever herd the term dead weight?"
"Yeah why?"
"If you want me to come back with you so bad then your gonna carry me?"
"Easy."
"How far are we from your den."
"About a days walk why?"
"Because 194 pounds is a lot to carry for a day."
"Well then maybe you forgot I'm the alpha and your not simply given this power you have to either kill the former alpha or wait for him to die but someone else could challenge you for the position if you wait."
With sarcasm "still that's a lot of weight are you sure you don't want to let me go?"
He smiles "yeah right then I would never see you again."
"Your definitely right about that. Hey what's your name because I doubt it's dogman?"
He snorts and picks me up and carries me bridal style and starts walking into the woods away from the trail "um how do I say this so you will understand it, um my name is...Tairin but that's a very short version of my name and it involves many odd growls and grunts that you wouldn't understand, and what's yours."
"Adrian Vien but everyone calls me Vien for short."
"Vien huh that's an interesting name I like that name...a lot."
"Yeah I like it too and how old are you."
"245 years old."
I go wide eyed "how long do your people live to?"
"We are actually immortal."
"WHAT how"
Tairin sighs "our peoples ancient magic."
"So then why are there so few of you."
"Your kind hunts us to no end and have no respect for our dead now can we drop this conversation?"
"One more question, am I going to be immortal."
"Not if you don't shut up."
We were both silent for the rest of the trip after that and what caught my eye the most is that the forest got thicker and thicker and thicker until we finally came to a clearing so I check my watch and it says it's 1:13 pm 'dam we have been walking or he is caring me for quite a while now', I look up and there's this small cave entrance about 100 feet in front of us so he walks up to it, enters, and it's all lit up with this white orb in the middle and four dogmen and a wolf are staring at us as he carries me in, one of the dogmen is brown and the others are a mix of gray and black and the wolf is white "you look as though you haven't seen a human before."
As we pass by the one with brown fur turns to us and says with a smile "when can we fuck him."
Tairin stops dead in his tracks and turns around and gives the brown dogman a vicious snarl "NO ONE touches him unless I say so."
All the dogmen have shocked expressions on their faces as we enter the only room to the left which I assume is his and he goes over to his bed of furs and sets me down on them and turns and starts to leave "where are you going?"
Tairin stops and with out turning around says "even though I'm the alpha the pack has the right to be informed and will demand to know what happened and as alpha it's also my responsibility to go get some food for the pack so just stay here, oh and before I forget what do you eat because I have no clue what humans eat?"
"Um okay I'll have a Subway steak and bacon flatbread melt."
Tairin tilts his head to the side "a Sub... what?"
I chuckle "just one of my favorites back home, I eat the same things that you guys do just not raw it has to be cooked."
Now Tairin looks more confused than before "really why."
"Because were not carnivores like your people and we also eat some types of vegetation, but just get what ever you guys normally get."
"Okay" Tairin walks out of the room and talks to the other dogmen for almost 30 minutes in his native language then leaves to get food. After Tairin leaves all four of the dogmen come into his room and sit on the floor and stair at me."
I look at them with a raised brow "what?"
The same dogman that made that very disgusting comment to me earlier stands and walks closer to me "none of us have seen a human before."
"Well your in a very dense part of the forest that I didn't even know existed and almost everyone is afraid of your kind."
He tilts his head to the side "why we haven't hurt any of you humans unless you provoke us."
"It's not how many, it's how you have killed my people that has pissed them off although it seems to be our fault for jumping to conclusions in the beginning and provoking your race."
With a little frustration "Yes, your race has been hunting us since we first met and we are starting to loose patience."
"How many of your kind are there left on this world?"
"Why do you care or is there something more than curiosity your tiring to get out of this."
'Oh my fucking god I'm gonna kill you' "I never wanted to come here in the first place and how the fuck am I going to get help from my people if I have no way of getting a hold of them, had you even given that some thought."
His face has defeat written all over it "Well no......I"
"Yeah that's what I thought" I turn around on the bed of furs and lay down telling them that I'm ending the conversation.
"I still don't trust you humans."
With that, no one talked until Tairin came back an hour later with 2 deer. He gave one to the pack and watched to make sure the four shared and as they were eating he slipped away to his room with the other in hand and started to rip it open when I cleared my throat "I told you I can't eat raw meat, get it right."
Tairin looks up at me and held his temper for addressing him that way and calmed down before he spoke "oh yeah that's right I forgot what you said before." Tairin left the room and I could hear a fire being started and crackling. After 30 minutes Tairin returned to the room with some nicely cooked venison "finally it's about time you finished that."
Tairin narrows his eyes at me "you know you could be a little more considerate of other peoples feelings."
I chuckle "you mean like how you took me from everyone that I loved with out even getting a chance to say good bye or I love you, fuck you."
By now Tairin is just fuming "just take the dam food and eat it."
I turn my head "I'm not hungry anymore." He throws the venison on the ground and stomps repeatedly on it completely destroying it with such force I could slightly feel the vibration and that's when I understand just how much power he has, this cave is solid rock so for him to make it vibrate even slightly reacquires tremendous amounts of force then he looks back up at me with a look that sends shivers down my spine and turns and runs out of the room 'I'm not going to piss him off for at least for the rest of the night, so I might as well get some rest for now. I try to get some sleep but I just can't forget about everyone I'm leaving behind like my mom, dad, and friends and that my entire life, so far was just to prepare me for being a slave to a werewolf, what have I done to deserve this anyway. Tears started welling up in my eyes and I eventually just let the tears flow like a stream and I silently whimper, that's when someone lightly grabbed my shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
I turned around and there was the most pitiful and worried look on Tairins face "nothing."
"Even though you haven't accepted me as your mate you will..." I opened my mouth to protest but he interrupted me "as my mate you need to tell me what's wrong so I can fix what ever it is that's bothering you."
I look away from Tairin "I...my hip still hurts."
Tairin stairs me straight in the eyes "I will fix that when your asleep, but that's beside the point your hiding something from me now what is it."
"I...isn't it obvious, I want to go to my home, the home that I know and love and be with the people that I love too. I don't want to be apart of any of this and I don't want to be your mate or even be with you." I turn back around and lay back where I was, but as I was doing so I could see the hurt in his face even though he has fur to hide some of his emotion, and I felt bad a little but I stopped the feeling and stopped thinking about him and awaited for him to respond.
"I would have killed anyone else for how you have been treating me, but I have never felt anything like this before, when I'm with you even though you have made me mad I can't stay mad at you and I have never been able to get over a grudge easily." With that he gave me a hug and left the room.
As he turned away I could swear I saw a tears welling in his eyes. 'So he does love me it's not just my body that he wants, but still that doesn't matter I'm not gay and he isn't going to win that battle. I should get some sleep so he will heal my wounds'. I slowly drift off to sleep thinking about the good things that have happened in my life and blocking out everything else.
