Chapter 3: Missing of Ilysa

, , , , , , , , ,

#3 of Jackals Star


Things couldn't be better, school going very well, he is even on the top lists for best grades. Him and Ilysa spend as much time together as they can in school. After school was another story, since Ilysa and her mother had been leaving town a lot after school, due to reasons with some odd financial difficulty. Akirus didn't like the fact he didn't get much time with her out of school. After their first encounter, he had this odd deep seated lust that he knew only she could slake. He spent his time after school doing all his school work, and then going outside with his father to train in Su'Qor. The Jackal's form of hand to hand combat.

This went on for a few months, and Akirus was taking well to the training, advancing rather quickly, devouring his Father's knowledge with every lesson, his Father was proud they never had to refresh on anything, except every other week he would test Akirus to make sure his knowledge was snappy and clear. It always was.

But not everything was going well, Akirus was starting to see less and less of Ilysa in school now. Until finally she left one day and never came back. It looked like she wanted to say something to him on that last day, but instead teared up and ran from school... ran from his life.

Since then, Akirus never felt the same, he poured himself into his training with his Father. Whom had worked everything out with his mate. And when Sirus was teaching Akirus, Syra and Sirus were busy patching things up with each other.

Akirus could not stop tossing and turning, his dreams one particular evening had gone from pleasant dream to nightmare. He wakes up in a frightened panic. He tries to remember the dream now, but it was lost to him. He could feel his tears rushing, all the stress of losing Ilysa, and his grades having gone down the drain, and the pile of homework on his desk, and letting his parents down, had all culminated to something evil picking fun at him this dream session. Little bits and pieces keep coming back and nipping him in the butt. He closes his eyes. He could see it better now. But then something on the edge of his mind tugs. Something he had never noticed before. He concentrates on the thing, it was welcoming, golden. As he continues to do so he could feel as if he was locking up his core, his emotions, and shutting them behind a massive steel door. And once that door closes, all of his emotions were gone. He revels in this state of being, where only logic and pure thought reign.

It lasts through the night, helping him sleep, it even kept through his sleep, yielding no dreams, nothing. When he woke up, he could feel the need for the partition to be opened. It does so at his will, and his emotions came flooding back. His eyes go wide, that was the oddest thing he had ever felt before, it now scared him to the point of never trying it again.

His parents had gotten up an hour before sunrise, and were discussing their son...

"Sirus, you can't do that, you had promised years ago you wouldn't. You already broke one promise in teaching him the offensive side!" Syra was upset about something, her voice irritated.

"Syra, I must, this isn't the time to be worrying about the past. Old things must be broken, you know as well as I that I can't even do the Su'Qor as well as he can. He has surpassed me in technique. And you know every Father must test the ones who are fated to lead the tribe." Sirus's tone was one of the foot down variety.

"Fine, but if you kill him.. we're through." Syra was also final as she storms out of the room.

Fortunately is was Saturday, and training was to be done. He goes to Akirus's room.

"Akirus, I need you to get dressed in you're training robes and head to the open area in the forest. No questions, just go."

Akirus nods quickly, dresses as his Father leaves the room.

After Akirus leaves for the forest, he dresses in tight black strips of cloth, stripping down so the cloth was form fitting, covering his body, maw, ears. Leaving only a pure black figure. He makes his way to the forest.

Akirus was sitting by the river, with a small little stick crossing it. He smiles as he remembers his Dad and him constantly practicing on it for balance. And just then, he heard something, a faint foot fall in grass. His eyes go wide, it was that of weight being shunted on said foot. He also felt something else, the desire of the killer focused right over where his left lung would be. He pushes off into a role, the attacker stumbles forward and catches his balance. Akirus stands up from the roll and faces the figure in black. Eyes still wide, and he felt tears coming on. Why would someone wish to kill him? He didn't have time for tears, step in, slash. Akirus barely was able to step away from the blow, stumbling back, losing his footing. The attacker steps in for another strike, cutting him deeply on the shoulder. Akirus cries out sobbing and falling to his knees.

"You cut me!" He blubbers out between tears.

Sirus almost felt his heart break...

Sirus darts in for a second strike, eyes on the boy go wide, he rolls back out of the way.

"Why are you trying to kill me!?" He was crying still, but shouting, angry.

Sirus still said nothing, moving into strike again, with this strike Akirus lifts his left arm, the blow was aiming to his heart. In a sweeping circular motion of both arms counter clockwise he knocks the strike away as he rolls away out of reach once more. Sirus could not help but feel a bit of pride at this move. But how was Akirus able to move so quickly? He never taught him speed, only technique. But perhaps it was so ingrained into his mind, he was just able to call upon it. He grew envious, it took him years to develop that. Instinct it was called.

Two more strikes, both of them biting into his shoulders, one closer up to the neck. He wasn't able to dodge or counter them, but they were moved to less crucial areas of the body. He smiles. Yes, he taught Akirus well in how his insides worked, and where it was okay to have something stuck through him, or fatal. He was actually aiming for the neck this time. Each caught made his Son cry more.

As things sped up, Akirus was able to sweep aside the strikes, away from his body completely, or just get cut in non essential places. The ribs, the shoulders, bicep. Taking many cuts. The pain was pushing at Akirus's limits, he just wanted this man to go away, and take the pain along with him. He concentrates.. in his mind, he could see it, the golden light. He clings to it and allows his emotions, his core, be partitioned away again..

The blubbering stopped.. the look of pain, In fact, no emotion...

"Oh... hell..." Sirus whispers.

He has heard of it. It was taught to the more experienced fighters, he recognized the look.

And as Akirus and his Father fought, the strikes seem slower than usual. He could track each one, and dodging or pushing them away from him was no chore either. If he could feel emotion, he would be scared and impressed all at the same time. But that is not the case now, his Father was no unable to land a blow. In fact it felt like he had so much time he manages to disarm his Father in one fell swoop and knock him into the River with a thrusting blow with an open palm strike. He didn't want to kill the man, only see who it was. As he moves over to unmask the man, he rolls back and takes off in the opposite direction. Akirus was too tired to follow. He lets his emotions flood back afterwords and he falls to his knees. Asleep, hurt and bleeding.

Akirus wakes up in his bed.. his Father standing over him with a very worried look on his face.

He stirs then stretches.

"Oh thank god you're awake Akirus, I was so worried. I found you at the forest spot passed out and bleeding. Are you okay?"

Akirus looks over himself for the moment, touching the bandaged cuts and all. He lays back down. His body sore, tired.. and ragged.

"Y-yes Dad I think so. What happened?"

"You were attacked, I was so worried I was going to lose a Son.. my only Son.."

Syra came in a moment later and sits on the edge of his bed. She glares at Sirus.. she could punch him out she was so pissed at him. But she had to admit, this was starting to become necessary. She had time to think.

"Oh my baby boy.. you're okay!" She hugs him.

Akirus whimpers in pain.

"Not so tight Mom.."

She laughs and wipes away her tears.

Staying there for awhile along with Sirus, he eventually falls asleep again and both Sirus and Syra move out to the living room.

"You were right, Sirus, this is necessary.. sorry I gave you a hard time. He survived, that's what matters."

Sirus smiles and kisses his mate.

"I am glad you agree.. but during his test.. he went cold. Emotionless and was able to read all of my movements."

Syra's eyes went wide.

"Oh goodness!" Hands went to maw. "He must of taught himself to go cold."

Sirus nods.

"That's what must have happened. He is a resourceful child and will make us proud one day. I am sure of it."

Syra beams proudly, as well as Sirus. They go off to their bedroom then, to work off the stress and have a little fun.

Akirus slept through the day into the next morning, when his parents woke him up setting a suit case on his bed.

"We have you out of school as sick for a couple of days, we are going to Illaris Seven to get some fresh air, all this bad air home wise is getting to us." Sirus pats his Sons feet through the bed.

Akirus stirs then sits up, he moves off to take a shower. When he comes back his parents were gone, with some clothes set out for him. A nice white shirt with black pants and white sneakers made for Anthros of course. He puts on underwear and the rest of his clothing quickly, the excitement welling up, a trip! And on a space shuttle no less. He was born here, so he never experienced the move from earth to this planet.

He was jumping up and down now, inspite of his injuries which did not bother him too much. He had even taken the bandages off in the shower. He grabs his suit case and runs out to see an air taxi waiting for them. His parents load everything in and he loads his own suit case in. They get into the Taxi and off they go to the Space Port.

At the space port, they had their tickets all ready, waiting in line to get to the luggage drop off, and to find out which flight they were on. It took a good thirty minutes before they step up to the desk. A very attractive female cheetah sat there, dressed in a red mini dress that does not leave all that much to the imagination. They were told their flight, and were quickly rushed off after their luggage was loaded onto the conveyor system. Akirus looks around, it wasn't massive, but bigger than his school, it only has two flights every day.

Fortunately this was an every day flight. So finally they got their call to board and was boarded. Seated.. Akirus bouncing like a kid in a candy shop. The ship they sat in barely made a rumble or noise as it departs the atmosphere, Akirus watches as they broke from the planet, and he watches it grow smaller and smaller with each passing moment. He looks away then sleep claims him, he closes his eyes.

When he wakes up he is already in a Taxi bound for their hotel. He sighs, this new trend of waking up not where he last knew, was beginning to become unsettling. His parents were talking amongst themselves quietly. So he closes his eyes and just relaxes, he needs it with all the mounting stress.

As they were making it to their hotel room, Akirus notices a place next to the hotel, on it said.

Girls girls girls! 15 and under sex lounge

In a flashing purple neon sign. He stares at it curiously. He then saw Ilysa's Mom coming from there in a hurry. She notices Akirus and his parents, goes wide eyed and in an opposite direction. His parents never notice. He tries to get his parents attention only to get a.

"Not now Son." From his dad.

Akirus shuts his mouth, says nothing as they move on to the Hotel Room. Akirus to say the least is curious.

After an uneventful dinner they go upstairs to sleep. They would hit the town in the afternoon. But Akirus could not sleep. Something was nagging at him, so he sneaks from bed. He was good at this, as every night he would sneak out to further his training on his own. He manages to sneak from the room and make it out the door without them noticing. He also took a card key. Once downstairs and out the Hotel doors he looks over to the establishment.. he sneaks his way in shadowing someone much older looking. Once there, even through all the mingled scents of what smelled like his first time with Ilysa only more pungent.. he could mark her, only she had that scent. Ilysa was here. He felt his heart skip a beat so he makes his way, following her scent. He follows it to a door, the door was open a crack, he looks in, to a seedy wood paneled door.

"No.. please.. no more, it just hurts now..."

That was her voice. He could hear the bed frame creaking in rhythmic thrusts.

"I don't care you bratty bitch, it feels good."

A deep guttural mans voice, the creaking picks up. Akirus opens up the door even more.. none of the occupants noticed, he saw a Tiger on top of his.. his Ilysa.. with the angle he could see his cock buried in her sweet pussy..

Then something happened.. he saw a flash of red that filled his vision. He had an idea what was going on. And it tore his insides apart. He could feel rage rising in his body. His eyes go completely black for a moment, like staring into a void.

The Tiger turns around and notices Akirus.

"What the fuck are you doing here boy? Looking for work? Sorry girls only."

Ilysa was unable to look around the Tiger.

"Whoever you are.. please.. help me..."

Akirus grips his hands into a ball so hard blood drips from his nails digging into his palms. He growls loudly.

"Get.... off... of... her...." His voice growing very cold.. very deadly.

He clenches his teeth, pain fires through his body. The man does no such thing.

"Want me to be you're daddy and beat you?"

Akirus ignored the childish remark. He could then feel more focused pain in his back. Wincing as something ripped through his flesh.. a black liquid like tentacle that had seemingly been hardened. It slams through the wall behind him. The man did not see this thankfully. It was now inside the wall writhing around, ripping up the beams and cement. It was alive with his raw anger.

"I said to get off. RIGHT NOW" He could hear odd whispers in his head, telling him to take delight in slaughtering the man.

Akirus would do no such thing at this state. Another tentacle rips from his back into the wall. Then two more follow. He could feel pain, but it was ignored.

Ilysa could almost recognize Akirus's voice. A demonic growl rips from Akirus's throat, his body begins to quiver as his rage picks up.

The Man sighs and stares down the boy.

"Fine, but you're going to pay with you're life. I hope you don't mind being dead in a dumpster."

He gets out and off, not even a slurp of juices. She wasn't even wet from this. Her pussy, Akirus manages to get a look, was torn up and bloody.

Suddenly that was it.. too much anger, too much rage. He shuts down his emotions. And his tentacles slide back into his body. His back all ripped up and torn now, but he felt nothing more. The man rushes at him with one large giant swipe. Akirus forces the strike off to the side, everything was in slow motion now, the Tigers fist hits the wall. Every bone in his fist shatters and the Tiger roars out in pain. Akirus grabs that arm and bends the wrist in an awkward angle, snapping it like a twig. The Tiger roars again, and swings with his other fist. This time Akirus grapples the man and with one pull and a quick push dislocates the tigers shoulder. Both arms now are useless. Akirus stares at the man and with two fists to the side of the mans rib cage collapses it. He could tell a few ribs puncture a lung. He got no joy in this, no sorrow, no hate or anger. When the man collapses he allows his emotions to flood back. He stares at the groaning tiger on the ground. He steps past him to see Ilysa, tears well in his eyes.

"Il-Ilysa.." He rushes in and gathers her in his arms.

She clings to him, she knew it was him, but no more strength was hers to speak. He was sobbing, her body wracking. He didn't know what to do. But he had to get her out of the place. He then hears a noise behind him, the noise of a wall caving in. The front of the store. He quickly darts out before anyone shows up. Most of the hotel was shut down. He finds his card key, opens the doors and manages to make it upstairs to the room. He places Ilysa on the bed, unsure what to do he would need his parents. He shakes them both awake in an awful sobbing mess.

"Mom, Dad, I found Ilysa."

"Shh shh I know its painful to lose her, it was a dream." Was his moms response.

"Mom no... I.."

There was a wail of pain, both his parents look over to Ilysa, nude, bleeding on the bed. They both rush over to her.

"Oh my god what.. oh god oh god..." Was Syra's response after she saw the damage.

Sirus stiffens up a little in anger.

"Who.. would do this?"

"That place next door, the fifteen and under lounge thingy." Was Akirus's reply.

They both stare at him, Ilysa makes another pained noise and Syra turns back to her.

Akirus explains everything to both shocked parents. Sirus looks out the window to see police swarming the building.. oh boy.. underage sex was legal here.. but a prostitution ring was not. So perhaps she was safe.

"Dad.. I.. won't let her go back.. I don't care what needs to be done, I won't let her I won't!"

Akirus becomes hysterical, a sobbing mess.

"I won't let that happen Son.. when I find her mother I swear to god..."

"Sirus, relax. This could of happened under any circumstance. I have known a few others where bill collectors did this. Remember, they were under some heavy financial duress."

Sirus nods for a moment and forces himself to relax.

"Her mother was a good Lady, she would of not allowed this to happen unless she was threatened with jail time. That's right." Was Sirus's answer.

"Well.. there is no time for a doctor.. it seems the last ... encounter tore her open pretty bad. She will bleed to death... I have to use our powers I suppose." Syra was worried now, the humans had a way to track them when they did this. Or worse, the Shadow Cripplers.

Sirus nods.

"We don't have much a choice."

Syra looks back, and concentrates, holding her hands over Ilysa's slit.. white light begins to form and settle into the rips and tears. Closing them in a matter of moments. With another close look...

"Poor girl lost her virginity from this all too. I feel bad for any man that ends up with her. And I feel bad for her too.

Ilysa, now calm from the pain, gives Akirus a knowing look. They had taken each others virginity. No one else did.. was it time to tell their parents? Akirus asks her this question in nothing but a look. She looks worried, then nods.

"Mom.. dad.. perhaps we should tell you this..."

Akirus sits next to Ilysa.

"It took us a long time to work this out. But the second night we were together.. we.. had sex.."

They both looked shocked for a moment, his Father's jaw working to get the words out, then Syra and Sirus and Syra exchange looks then they both bust out laughing.

"Son.. that is almost the same way you're mother and I met. We vowed to each other if something like this happened to our child or children, we would be welcoming of it. So don't you worry yourself over it. Its welcomed."

"So then, you both have each others Virginity. And with that, something can come of it. I was taught an ancient spell. But it was up to their virginity's holder to say yes to. And I doubt neither of you would say no. It.. sort of reverses time, but just on her slit. Erases all the men that were inside of her, except you Son."

Akirus and Ilysa look at each other. Right now, she was afraid to have sex even with him. Afraid of the pain ingrained for the month since she started here. No pay, it all went to her mothers debtors. Ilysa and Akirus lay on the bed together as the lights go out. Everyone back asleep. Tomorrow would certainly be another interesting day.
