Poem of the oppressive hand

They said I was too strong, that my body was to wrong. That I was a tool and not the user. Obey as said and live as best, fight the hand and rest with the dead. There is no chance from where you come, you are the slave to obey as command. You have no life no labels no mind, you operate by what we have said. Your rights are not existence in this land, for the old world burned for these who care.

See page 2 for the story and if you would like you character introduced into it please message me in advance. I have 5 spots open in it so far of course there going to be many more and this is just the start.

Chapter 1

As I woke up, I rose quickly grabbing at my silk sheets to wrap them around me. Though burning up from the hot air I was shaking in fear from the dream I just had. Signing I realize that this is my life, scared of losing what little I have. Afraid of going back to that place of darkness, were the air smelled like death and urine. Hearing the screams of others locked away and dried blood coating the bars.

I hate nights like these, pushing my hands down I put myself in a sitting position to look out the window. Staring at the moon and stars far out of reach, I think of Leon and feel a little bit of relief. Without him I could still be there or even had ended up worst off.

Slowly lowering one leg over the edge of my bed and letting my foot rest on the ground the cooling relief of the chilled hardwood floor comforts me. I could lay down on the floor at this point, giggling to myself.

Lowering the other foot, I walk over to the window. Bring my hand over the locks at the top I flip them over and open it up letting the cool air of spring blow in and carry the smell of the flowers.

This world is so old yet there is new life that comes with every seasons, serving the holidays as a maid here as made me realize that people also make new ambition's with the start of every year to try and change their life's. Though some have it so good I wonder why they would try and change it. Sighing, I close my eyes and think of Leon. He also had a new year resolution as he called it. He said he wanted to change the world. When I asked him what he meant he just smiled and said "By saving it". I never found out what he meant by it either.

Shaking my head and smiling I open my eyes. I guess that one of the differing factors between humans and furs. Human never give up, they always want to change and us furs well we are never really given the chance to make a change. Looking at my night stand the clock glows with the time at 4:30 A.m. I guess I better get dress and start getting the house together. I'm awake as it is no since in sleeping any longer.

After getting myself dress and presentable I reached the bottom of the stair case. Looking around I could see that most everything was already tidy and well place. It truly is a pretty house, maybe house is not the right word for it is more of a mansion with several rooms and a party hall. But very much it designs it just seems small and nice. Walking through the archway to the living room I see an empty bottle of wine sitting on the table top.

Looking at it I was confused on how it got there and why. "Rosa" someone whisper from behind me. Yelping a scream, I fall down on the ground, my heart racing and mind blank with fear. Seconds later sitting there frozen and staring at the tiled ground I hear laughing; it was Leon's voice... it was Leon. Pushing myself up from the ground I turn around and glare at Leon.

"What the hell you think you're doing" I yell at him, as he leaning on the arch way arms over gut as he bent over laughing.

"I just came down for an early morning drink scratch that late night I haven't slept yet." He said in between laughs as he wiped away some tears.

Walking over to the couch I sit down and fells like every inch of my body just got 10 pounds heavier. "That was mean you know" I say not wanting to look at him.

"Oh cheer up girly, how many years of you lived here? You should know to watch your back by now" He said as he started to walk towards me. "So why are you up this early you usually sleep till six 0'clock"

"Nothing I just woke up and thought I get a head start" I said. Still refusing to look at him as he sat beside me.

"Oh so working overtime now are we, I'm sorry but we can't have that in this type of business it would drive me bankrupt." He said with another laugh.

Looking over at him I just shake my head a little. "money would do me no good. Furs aren't even allowed in most stores you know that."

"Yes it is such a same then I could have had you do all my shopping for me. Then you be like a real house wife cooking, cleaning, shopping." He says chuckling at his own puns.

"Sorry dearie I'm not your wife." I say getting up and straightening my shirt and skirt out from falling.

"never said you were my wife, I just said you be like a real house wife. You certainly got the bitching down though" He said with another loud obnoxious laugh.

Ignoring his comment "Leon your drunk go to sleep" I say as I walk to the stairs archway to leave.

"Ok, ok I will but" He says as his tone gets very serious. "Rosa tomorrow I need you to go talk to tom and have him speak to me"

"What why me" I say my eyes darting at him.

"Because I think you need to get out of the house for once, Don't you ever get bored of just standing around cleaning the house?" Leon asked leaning his head back his blonde hair covering his face.

"Well... yes but you know I don't like tom. Leon please don...." I was saying before he snapped.

"Ok Rosa I'm not asking you to I demand you do it or else there will be consequence's" Leon yelled

After hearing him yell that I quickly exited the room and went into the kitchen where I choked a bit.

Tom is one of the worst little bastards there are there no way around it. He is a bully and hates everything to do with humans and house servants.

The fact that Leon wants me to go talk to him. I don't understand it, he absolutely hates me and that day. Leon almost killed him that day. What if tom tries to do something similar I may hate him but I wish no one death even if it is their own stupidity.

Sighing again my whole body just feels worn out already. Not to mention my heart is racing a million miles an hour. Maybe I should just sit down for a minute. Walking around the kitchen to the little bar we had I pulled out a Stoll and sat on it.

Laying my head down in my crossed arms I closed my eyes and thought about that day. The day that Tom attacked me and the things he said and just everything.....

The 4th week since I came to live with Leon. I was only 18 then and starting to get comfortable something I never been allowed to do before, Leon asked me to go to the mine quarters and pick up the supply list.

I remember it all so clearly the walk there was great. A brilliantly warm day and there were birds everywhere tweeting and singing. The mine quarters are only half a mile away so it was quick to get there if you went through the flower fields.

That year there were beautiful yellow flowers in bloom and bees flying all around enjoying the flowers as well. Heh I even remember stopping to pick one and when I smelled it a little bee flew out right on top of my nose.

It was so cute but it tickled and made me sneeze, So after sneezing myself to half death and giggling the other half I finally stumbled out the other side where the quarters were at.

The place is mostly made up of furs all working for Leon. Well working is not the most accurate word, Leon owns those workers. There his property so naturally I can see why tom and the others would hate him.

So walking in the air was thick with ash and coal dust and a big yellow fur sat behind a counter staring at me. "Are you Rosa" He hollered out.

After breathing In the air I started to cough "Yes im ro... cuhhh cuhhh"

"All righty cuhhh cuhhh here the supply list for Leon to order" He said with a laugh.

Walking over to him I take it out oh his hthe box he pushed through from his box. "Thank you sir"

"No problem and no need call me sir my name is Paul." He said with a smile.

"Why are you in a box" I asked curiously

Laughing he told me "well see I pay people who deliver products here and just to avoid any robberies of sorts this is a room where no one can get in. Just a precaution you see"

"oh ok thanks, see ya" I say nodding and turning around to leave

Then in the door I came, walked a fur with brown fur cover in coal dust and baggy pants and shirts stained black his eyes blue but red with strain.

"Hey Paul who is this twat" Tom yelled over me

"Tom aren't you supposed to be working she just here to pick up the supply list." Paul said

"Ohhhh I see, So this his is new little toy, What happen to his other one. Did he get bored of her." Tom said mockingly. Taking me aback

"wha... what do you mean" I say looking at him stunned.

"Tom get out of here now" Paul yelled

"Oh he does like them young, Naïve to I guess. Sorry Paul but it time to tell prince here that her life is not going to just be eye candy." He said with such a gross look in his eye. Walking up to me he grab my arm.

"Tom I already told you to get the fuck out of here don't make me come around" Paul yell slamming his fist against the glass.

"Shut up you teddy bear you no more scarier than the mine rats." He said grinning and showing his teeth. Looking back down at me "why your ears go flat against your head trust me leon will do much worst." Grabbing the back of my neck and fur.

Frighten and unsure of what to do I slapped him across the face. Then it all went black, I woke up on the floor and looked over as I heard the gross voice again swearing to the heavens and back. My face felt weird tingly and tight on my right eye and muzzle.

"what happen" I whisper as I pulled myself up.

"Are you alright over there Rosa" Paul shouted over the swearing. Trying to find the voice I looked around the room till I saw Paul pinning tom down onto the ground.

"I think so my face, feels really weird though" I say as I bring my hand up to it. The tip of my nose was wet I mean it usually damp but not wet as I pulled my hand away I saw that blood had stained the white fur on my hands. "Paul I think I'm bleeding, and I am feeling really tired.

"Rosa don't close your eyes" He yelled over tom who words seem like another language. Trying to stand up the room felt off balanced and weird. "Rosa sit down till Leon gets here."

"But if I sent down I will fall asleep" Looking down I see droplets fall off my nose to the ground and a blackish puddle started to form.

Everything went black again at that point. The next time I woke up I was in a hospital and Leon was there. "Rosa are you ok" Feeling really light headed I looked at him and smiled.

"Yes I'm ok, were are we though?"

"we are at a local hospital. You are suffering from a concision." Leon says with a concern look on his face his light blue eyes looking bright in this light. "Do you remember anything Rosa?"

"I remember tom grabbing my arm and saying something bad about you I think, Then I slapped him." I say trying to remember.

"Anything after that"" he asked

"Nothing that I can remember" I tell him

"Alright then, I have to go now Rosa. But don't worry the doctors will take care of you for a little while longer then I'll get you." Leon said letting go of my hand and leaving.

Later that week I returned home and I asked Leon what happen to tom. "Well let's just say he is gonna be laid up in bed for a couple days. The scars he left you will run deep. So I made sure his ran just has deep."

"What do you mean?" I asked looking at him surprised by this side of Leon.

"I mean that the day after he was whipped publicly and sent on bed rest for a week. Rosa please don't think bad of me. But this is the consequences to his action, an eye for an eye." Those lines an eye for an eye. I hate those lines so much. I never wanted him to be treated like that. Even if he had laid worst onto me.

Before I know it, I raised my head and it was already light out. Rubbing my eyes I realized I fell a sleep. "damn it" I curse under my voice racing to the center room.

Looking up at the big grandfather clock the time read it was 9 o'clock. Guh I wake up early to sleep in late, I wonder if I should leave now or not. I just can't bring myself to wanting to be next to that beast.

Shaking my head, I realize that I cannot put this off. Or I know procrastination will lead to me not doing it. Then Leon would have my ears and not tom. Opening the door I feel a cool gush of wind hit me.

I wonder if it goanna be chilly outside today. Walking outside the sun feels warm but the wind makes me shiver a little. Walking back inside real quick I grab one of Leon coat off the guess rack and throw it on.

Well at least I won't be chilled. Walking out side I look around a little and see that the grass is starting to grow again though the birds have not come back yet. Some of the squirrels have returned.

It really is pretty outside but I just can't bring myself to smile every inch I walk is like lead building inside my head. Soon I will be to top heavy and fall over.

Though looking at the flowers as I approach the field did make me smile. Nothing was in bloom right now but you could see things start to grow. This time I decided to walk around to avoid hurting the plants.

This way is much longer but it also is a little prettier for there a patch of trees where a little creek runs through. Though I learned no to touch them. These trees are cover in cool ash and will make you dirtier than a child in mud.

However, from what Leon told me was that these trees loved the ash and that they also love the smoke that is run through the little forest that why they were there to absorb all the bad gas from the coal we did burn.

After passing all the tree I was near one of the giant walls surrounding this place. I understood it purpose and didn't want to think about it. For that wall reminds us all pf what we are.

Sighing I hurried the rest of the way to mine quarters, since the last time I was here it has gotten much better Leon told me. They have air filters now and someone clean the ash away daily that the miners drag in.

When I asked why he done that, He told me "there as much a person like me. So I know those conditions are unhealthy, I just never was down there to see that be for I had to. I guess you going down there was a good thing after all"

He was a much kinder guy then most would think. Most just see as an evil slave holding overlord. But even if you consider him that then he is a pretty generous overlord.

Opening the old door, I push it open to hear it sequel with age. Walking in I could see that it was pretty crowed this morning with people rushing in and out. One big canine almost knocking me on my butt, But instead I just fell into the wall.

Looking at all these furs made me pause for a moment just to watch. They were all guys who had muscles and body that would crush almost anyone. Just thinking of all the work they must do every day to build those muscles up makes my arms hurt.

"Rosa what are you doing here?" Paul shouted at me from my left. Looking at him for a moment I snapped out of my trance and walked up to Paul.

"Hey can I you call Tom up here? I don't know how to find him in this mess." I ask as my heart started to speed up and my fur started to stick up.

"You want me to call tom up here, to go with you alone to Leon. Just so they can talk?" looking at him I started to realize how crazy this did sound.

"Wel.... Well leon asked me to, no he told me to do it" I say letting out a large breath of air.

"Rosa I don't think this is a good ideal, I will send toby with you ok. I just wouldn't want Tom to pull another stunt." Paul said dialing a number on a key pad then speaking into it.

"I need tom and toby at quarters main now. Toby and Tom right away." Paul voice range out from around the whole building.

Shaking my head I looked at him "what if they aren't here" I ask. Looking at me Paul starter to laugh

"Look at all those guys behind you see how big they are" He says. Shaking my head yes he continues. "Remember how big Tom was" Thinking back I remember him being medium build much smaller than all these guys.

"Tom is not a miner he actually is just a quarter master who tell people when to eat, sleep and bathe" Hearing that kind of shocked me.

"I just figured all furs down here were miners" I say.

"Yes a lot would assume that but it is not the case we also need cooks supply checkers, A few on hand nurses and doctors. The surprising thing is, most are furs and that is rare."

"While is that rare" I ask him as a scruffy old canine with grey fur walked up beside me.

"hello sir you called for toby?" The older canine ask.

"Well we will talk about that the next time you come down Rosa or when I come up. Also good seeing you, come down more so I don't have to run supplys as frequently to see your pretty blue eyes." He said with a laugh

The older canine look over at me as I started to blush "Sorry if I interrupted your talk" The old fur said.

"No worry toby this is Rosa I want you to walk with her and tom up to the old castle." Paul said smile at him.

"Old castle?" I ask confused

"Oh that just what we call the mansion. The old castle with king Leon and princes Rosa" That one making the old dog and Paul laugh. Looking away I feel a bit of fluster and anger at the joke because I always hear the Leon treats me the best. From the miners, the maids, the Gardner everyone think Leon treats me unfairly to the rest.

"Ahhh why you talking about king shit and queen shitress." I hear a higher pitch dog say behind us. Clutching my fist and grinding my teeth I know who it was.

"Tom shut you mouth, Toby and ROSA here are taking you to talk to Leon" Paul said

"Oh wait miss shitress is here" He said bending forward and smiling at me from the other side of toby. " I see the beauty mark I gave you didn't last I'm sorry."

"TOM shut you moth now or I will have Toby hook you in a muzzle" Paul shouted making me step back. Hearing a chuckle from the old dog I look up to see him smiling at that.

"Don't worry Paul Toby will Keep the princes safe from the fool." He said as he backed hand Tom onto the floor. Standing there my jaw just dropped and I didn't know what to say.

"that was unnecessary toby but on any account I thank you" Paul said looking away.

"Guhhh Toby the fuck man that hurt" Tom said grunting as he got up.

"Good means you won't talk bad to princess now. Lets go" Turning to me. "Rosa tell me if he bothers you, I know what he did. He is not right in the head. So I got to make him think right sometimes."

Taking this all in I just kind of look down at the floor to think "Ohhh ok just please don't hurt him to bad. Please don't try to hurt him at all." I say

"If that is what you want" he says waving his hand for me to walk first. Shaking my head, I regain myself and started to walk out the door. Toby and a reluctant Tom following me.

Looking behind me as I walked into the tree patch I see tom staring at me with his eyes like he wants to stab me. Turning my head around I stopped and took a deep breath.

"Is something a wrong miss" toby asked walking up next to me.

"I... I want to tell you Tom. I am sorry for what Leon did to you. But also I want you to know he could have done worst. Please don't make him do that. Even if I do hate you" after saying that I felt a little bit more relief till I heard him brake out laughing.

"Oh my girly where is your back bone, come on I know your angry stop trying to act all sweet." Tom said as I hear another thud

Turning around I see toby hand in air were Tom was standing. Looking down Tom was on the ground with a bloody nose. Shaking my head, I dig my hands in Leon coat pocket and retrieve his cloth that he uses for cleaning his glasses.

Walking over to Tom a kneel down and hand it him. "Wh...y are you doing this?" He asked. Frowning at him and shaking my head.

"Because I am not like you Tom" I say standing back up and extending a hand to him.

"She is nice to you Tom and you are cruel to her, were is your heart, or do you lack eyes to see what's in front of you." Toby says slowly.

After thinking over what he said for a couple seconds I could not comprehend what he truly meant. "Whatever you big oaf" Tom said taking my hand to help him up as he put the cloth to his nose.

I just kind of day dreamed the rest of the walk to the house. I noticed the toby walked super heavily. Like he almost did it on purpose but I don't know why he would but the whole walk was a hypnotizing thud thud thud.

Knocking on the door I heard a familiar feminine voice call out "Hello who is out there".

"It is Rosa Sara can you let me in?" I ask wiping my feet.

"Rosa where have you been" I hear her ask as she unlocks the door. "I been looking for you and Leon Is pasted put." She says as she opens the door.

"Oh I see you brought people" She said as she stuck her head out side to see me and the others.

" Leon wanted to speak with tom" I say putting my hand on the door to open it.

"He did?" she said stepping back letting me open the door all the way. "Well I will try and go wake him up then" She said.

Walking in I took off my coat and looked at the two standing in the doorway. "I have no ideal were to put you two till Leon gets down here so the best I can say is that you guys can have a seat in the main room."

Turning around I hesitate for a moment "Toby don't let Tom break anything."

"I will make sure he is good." Toby said with a laugh.

Chapter 2

Poem 2

"I use to watch the sun, set in the forest that was so lush. Now it is all dust and the night glow in invisible fire. I hide underground from my people who you to be full of love, Now only full of lust. When food was plenty I never thought of the pain of hunger, now it never ending and it is becoming sickening. The days you could drink out of ponds are gone, unless you want to grow thin and lose your mind. How sad it is that the spring of humanity has ended and without summer Winter is upon us."

Walking up the stairs I look over my shoulder and down the stairs were I could hear Tom complain to Toby about everything he could. Shaking my head, I was shock that we got here without incident.

Tom shaking my head I couldn't stop thinking about him as I walked up to Leon's office. Sure he probably doesn't have an easy life but he doesn't have the worst either. If only he saw on Tv, how most were thought of and treated. He realizes Leon is a good guy.

Sighing I reached Leon office knocking on the door I heard a loud bang come from inside. Freaking out I call out "Leon are you ok". After standing there for 5 minutes I started to get nervous and started trying to open the door. "Leon What Is A Wrong"

"I'm ok rose, I'm ok give me a minute ok. You caught me off guard." He said from the other side of the door. After felling relived from hearing his voice I waited a couple more minutes till he opened his door.

"Rosa do you need something" Leon asked popping his head out the door.

Looking at him oddly I say "Tom is down stairs you said you wanted to talk to him." Looking at Leon I saw him go wide eye.

"Rosa when did I ask you this?" Leon asked

Getting nervous again I tell him "You told me at 4-5ish in the morning. Did I not do something Leon." Sliding out of office door he closed it behind him.

"No, no you are fine Rosa I was just drunk and wasn't thinking right." Pausing for a moment he looked at me bewildered. "Wait why did you go and get him?'

Taken aback I didn't realize Leon was that drunk. I mean he is usually drunk but so much that he forgets things. "You commanded me to, I'm sorry"

"No, no Rosa don't be sorry I should be the one who is sorry damn it." Leon says as he brings his hand up to his forehead and slowly shakes his head. "Tom didn't hurt you at all did he?"

"No not at all Paul had Toby follow us to make sure he wasn't a problem." Leon looked at me and let out a little laugh.

"Ahh I see the pretty one, the fool and the muscle." He said laughing as he covered his mouth.

Cocking my head, I looked at him confuse. "What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing pup it just a very common thing in movies and anime." Leon says turning around to the stairs. "Well we better not keep are friends waiting"

Following behind I thought about what Leon said. In movies and anime, I saw Leon watching anime one time and to me it looked like colorful human girls with oversized eyeballs and other things.... Shaking my head, I tried not to think about it.

"You ok back there Rosa you sure are being awfully quite" Leon says in front of me.

"Yup just thinking, you know" I say looking down from the railing as we reached the stairs.

"No I don't know please explain to me. IM not a mind reader." He said with a laugh.

All a sudden I felt flushed and hot and clammy "uhhhhh I was just thinking about you know stuff" I say my voice quivering a bit.

"Rosa you just danced around the question you aren't answering it." He said looking at me from half way down the stair case. Pulling out his glasses from his white suit pocket he puts them on and leans onto the stair rail. "You goanna tell me yet."

"Leon I honestly don't know what I was thinking about, you know blank minded not really thinking just doing." I say trying to think of something better.

Shaking his head, he turns around and walks the rest of the way down the stairs. "By the way Rosa I know what you were thinking."

The world felt so slow and my heart so fat as he spoke. "You were so amazed about my suit you thought I was hot right" He said laughing historically at the bottom of the stairs.

Shaking my head and feeling so relieved I start to laugh to after regaining myself I walk down and catch up to him. As we walked into the room though Toby had Tom pinned down onto the ground.

"ehhh what he do now Toby" Tom said eyeing the two.

"He tried to run out of here sir" Toby said taking his knee off Tom back. As soon as toby took all the pressure off Tom started gasping for air.

"You giant oaf you almost fucking killed me" Breathing hard he pushed himself up to all 4s to look at Leon. "Hey prince dick face what do you want."

Leon look got serious "Use proper pronouns you fool I am just sir dick face to you" He said as all the seriousness left his face and he started to laugh again.

I didn't realize it but my jaw had dropped and looking at tom I could see him get even more pissed off at Leon. "WHATS A WRONG PRINCE DICK FACE YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I SAY. HOW ABOUT PRINCESS BITCH OVER THERE!!!" Looking at him I felt so angry and wanted to hit him.

Leon walking up to him "ehhh is that so poor pup, You sound a little upset is it because your mommy and daddy left you here to me." He said so mockingly I couldn't believe it.

"Leon that was so uncalled for. Why would you say that" I yell unable to control my self.

Looking at me he smiled "Rosa this is goanna seem cruel but I want you to hit Tom."

"NO Leon I will not" I say shaking my head and looking at Toby who just stood there head looking down with arms crossed.

"Rosey I demanded you hit Tom now" He shouts at me.

"NO Leon" I say my hands curling in fist as I step forward.

Sighing he looks down at tom who his still on all fours but as regained his breath. "She nothing more than a stupid bitch Leon what would you expected." Tom mutters

As soon as his words stop Leon pulled his foot back and kicked Tom straight across the muzzle. Before I had time to think, I punched Leon in the face. But he just stood there turned his head and then pulled his knee up into my gut.

"Rosa when will you learn. You are still a slave and not the master you do as I say." Coughing up and barley able to breathe I push all my weight forwarded into Leon. As he falls to the floor I feel Toby grab me from behind.

"That is enough princess" Toby says tightening his grip as I struggle.

"Toby why didn't you do anything, Toby let me go, Toby, Toby, Toby." I yell as Leon looks at me in a sitting position now.

"Man oh man Rosa I was right about you. I didn't want to test you yet but this feels so great to know you aren't a little girl no more." He says laughing his left eye bruised horribly.

"Th... This was a test" I say looking down at tom tears streaming out of my eyes. "Leon how could you be so cruel" slowly I stop struggling and just went limp in toby arms not able to process what was going on.

"That one of the reasons I love you so much girl. You aren't only strong in spirit but also in compassion. Tom is ok Rosa the worst he has is a broken tooth." Leon says as he walked over to the couch pulling out a liquor bottle from under the couch he pours himself a glass of it.

"why?" The only words I could think of.

"Because Rosa the world needs you, I need you and that angry fur ball over there needs you. You may have learned about the world here. But now you must wise up and realize the world your living in." He says drinking the alcoholic liquid in one gulp.

Pouring another glass, he walked up to me. "Rosa don't resist this just drink it." Pinching his hands together from both sides of my muzzle I couldn't stop from opening it. As he poured the liquid in to my mouth it tasted like bitter licorice and burned it up till I swallowed it even then it burnt the whole way down.

Then I felt tired to tired and fell asleep looking at Leon his face bruised and smiling .
