Canada: About 2 months ago The mansion had not had a master in years only caretakers and Matt Bare was one of a long line of them. His father had worked for this strange and mysterious person who called herself Mother for many years until his health failed. However, he was able to arrange for his son to replace him and so Matt essentially became a highly paid house sitter. He had never seen this Mother or even knew what she looked like; his father had said that he rarely saw her, so it was about even. As he entered into the house he knew that something was different. There was an alarm going off. Not too loud but it was a continual beeping. He wandered into the den and looked at several computer screens. The day had come, just as his father had said. "Just follow the directions and everything will be ok", he had said. He opened a binder with a whole mess of numbers in it but there was one in particular that he needed. He picked up the phone and dialed. It rang several times then a voice answered. "The numbered you have dialed is no longer in service." It said and he pushed one on the phone keypad. There was a click and it again spoke the same message. This time he pushed Eight. The phone clicked and clicked then a different voice answered. "Code." Was all it said. "Sleeping Dragon Awaking." Matt said to the voice. "Confirm." Matt recited a long number and when finally finished the voice spoke again. "Activation confirmed, you are to remain there, Matt Bare. Do not leave under any circumstances, prepare the house for guests, and make sure all things are in order. Arrival will be late evening. Understood?" "Yes." "Good." The phone went dead and Matt just stood there, not sure of what he just did. The gate sounded at 4:25 am the next morning waking him out of a light sleep. Four large vans entered the compound and stopped at the front door. He made his way out and people he had never seen before almost pushed him out of the way entering into the house. "Matt Bare?" One of the guards said to him. "Yeah, who wants to know?" "I'm Andrew Sagent." The tall Hyena said. I'll be in charge of the house now. If you still want to work here, come back tomorrow afternoon. There will probably be a position available." "Hey! I was told by my father that I was in charge, not you buddy. Now you and your goons get out of here or I'll call the cops." "Mr. Bare, I am in charge now!" The Hyena began to stare him down. "If you cannot accept that, then you better leave now before you get hurt." Matt quickly pulled out his gun and put it to Mr. Sagent's head. "I'm in charge here Sagent, now you tell me what's going on or I'll pull this trigger and ask someone else." He said not amused, he didn't like being told what to do. "Hmm seems that you take after your father a lot. Ok, Mr. Bare I will explain, the owner of this estate and your employer has just returned. She is of a nocturnal species and sleeps for an unknown time frame. We are curators of her estate; same as you. You had the house we had other responsibilities. Now that she has returned, we will be taking orders from her. It will take her awhile to get herself organized but as I said I am in charge. You'll find that out soon enough. Now if you'll excuse me we have work to do." He pushed Matt's gun aside and walked right passed him. USA Present Day. As the afternoon wore on, more conversations took place in the kitchen but one thing was in the back of her mind and Endora wanted to clear things up. It was time she had her say anyway. "Ok everyone lets settle down for a minute I would like to say something to everyone." She was a bit nervous now that she had everyone staring at her. "Well, first off I want to say that this is a big surprise to me and Warren." She turned her attention to the gentle giant and put her paw on her shoulder. Ti looked at the gentle face of Endora. "Ti you are welcome here anytime, you're as close to family as it can get." Ti gently put her huge paw on Endora's, in some way down deep she felt complete, now knowing what she did. Ti gave Endora's paw a gentle squeeze. "Thank you, Mrs. Mustelidae; now that a part of our lives has been uncovered, it makes me overjoyed to be welcomed into such a lovely household." Ti said with a hoarse voice, for her it did truly make a difference. "Alright everyone if we cry anymore I'm going to run out of tissues so please stop, and that's an order!" Endora said with a big smile. "Now, someone think of something for dinner." She bent down and whispered in Ti's ear for her to follow her. Ti did while the others came up with ideas for dinner. The two of them entered into Warren's den and Endora closed the door to give them a bit of privacy. The room suddenly seemed a lot smaller with Ti in it; "I just wanted to talk to you alone." Endora said to the massive woman who in many aspects reminded her of her daughter but her size shattered the image of resemblance. But the one thing that was there was the gentle nature; Sabrina was always, or tried to be the best she could be. "I understand, I think." Ti said in a soft tone. "We have had a very up and down day. And now that you are here, I just felt I needed to talk to you. I don't even know what I really wanted to say, but I felt I should say something to you." "I think I understand, Mrs. Mustelidae maybe down deep you feel this is somehow your fault." She looked Endora in the eye. "It isn't, Mother is a conniving person, it's doubtful that only a very few people actually knew we existed. I'm sure if you did, you would have turned every stone on this here earth over to find us. Now that I know who my biological mother is I couldn't ask for a nicer person in the whole world." Ti said with a genuine smile, which Endora felt right through her fur. Ti hugged Endora and she began to cry again. "Swallow is in good paws here and with a family where she belongs. She had problems when we were together; Mother did things to her that I couldn't stop. I tried my best to console her but I could only do so much. Now I see they have just gotten worse." "Yeah, we sought out professional advice. It's going to take a long time for her scars to heal, some may never." "I can see that from how she speaks, even with me. I have my own scars, but they are nothing like hers. It was wise of you to seek help for her. However her being here with you has brought her a happiness that she has never experienced before." Endora didn't know what to say, "She's been hurt deeply, I pray everyday for her and if my presence helps her then I've done my job." "You have, she loves you. She has never really had a Mum before, save me acting as one." "It was good that she did, I'm afraid of what might of happened if not." "I am too." "You know…" Endora paused. "I've always thought I wanted another one, now I sort of have three." She smiled. "That's true, your family has grown quite quickly in a very short time. I'm sorry to hear about Heather." "Yeah, it's been a shock; we're praying for her. We really haven't known about Heather all that long; plus putting this mystery all together has been a shock to our systems." "It is also to me; I believed we were the only ones." Ti grinned. "I was mistaken, but it's good news. Sabrina is a wonderful woman; I'm glad to be modeled after her." "Close, Ti, but you're your own person; you may share Sabrina's looks but you are not her. Clone or not, be sure of that." Ti smiled, "Mother told us Heather died a long time ago. I am pleased to see she didn't." Endora shook her head, "She did?" "I am not sure why, though." "Hmmm, Sabrina has been trying to arrange a reunion of sorts. This may be a good time for you to go see her." Ti tilted her head, "A reunion?" "Yeah, she thought it would help Swallow." "That's a jolly good idea love, I wish I had thought of it." Ti said with a wide smile. "I thought so, but things haven't been ironed out, we have to talk with her doctors." "That's understandable." Ti said nodding. "You know…..this is gonna be murder on the Christmas bills, not to mention the phone." "Well think of it this way." Ti smiled. "I have to get all of you to my wedding. I think that's an even trade." She smiled. "You're getting married!" Endora's eyes opened wide. "Oh my, I find out you're my long lost daughter and you tell me you're getting married. Slow down young lady, you're bound to give me a heart attack. So who's the lucky feller?" In the back of her mind she wondered what Ti's tastes were. "His name is Richard, he is a raccoon and I surprised him before I left for here with the proposal." "You asked him?" Endora said in surprise. "It's a modern world and I didn't want to let him get away." "I bet he was surprised." "Yes he was; I didn't tell him right away, in fact he thought he had done something wrong. Then I tossed him the ring." "He's a lucky man, to have a lovely young woman like you." "We share many common interests, you will like him. I would be honored if you and your husband would attend." "We wouldn't miss it for the world. Now about this Mrs. Mustelidae thing, we have to drop that and fast." Endora patted Ti's arm, "Now I think we better get back or we'll all wind up eating macaroni and cheese." The two women hugged again and it was back to the kitchen to argue about what they were going to eat. Canada 2 weeks later at Mercy General. He took a moment from his book to glance Heather's way, he sighed. It had been two weeks since it had happened. He couldn't believe it when Heather's parents told him. He hadn't realized how much he really missed her. Now he didn't want to leave her side, if she would just say something, everything would be so much better. He missed that voice and smile of hers. Sabrina and Max had been great; the store was holding its own. He had time at night to work on the machines that Max wasn't able to trouble shoot. So things weren't too bad, but he wanted Heather back. What he couldn't understand was why her? She's the sweetest person he knew. The dates they had gone on, well the get-togethers (he wasn't sure if he could actually call them dates) were always fresh in his memory. He remembered the first time when he had to brush off an intoxicated idiot who was making very crude remarks at Heather. She had given him a kiss on the cheek; he smiled and gently rubbed the place where she had placed it. A constant noisy racket rudely interrupted his thoughts. His attention turned to the machine, which was breathing for Heather. They had tried to take her off it but it didn't seem to take. She looked so fragile lying there; he gently rubbed her paw. The shackles binding her looked unpleasant but he knew it was for her own good. He now understood what he wanted in life, her. He had hoped to find a lovely young filly for himself but fate had intervened and now his future lay before him, he hoped. You see Hector had a problem, since he was big and basically moved furniture for a living, most people thought he was stupid. However he was the total opposite, well versed in computer language and a whiz at math. Most of the fillies he had met were bubbleheads and only wanted one thing; something he didn't want to give as of yet. He had been waiting for someone special and when that hadn't happened he had become discouraged, however all that had changed when he found out about Heather. It took a lot of courage to talk with Mr. White to try and convince him to allow him to run the store with Sabrina and her boyfriend. Not having Heather around to talk with or chat about the latest in computer hardware had somehow put things in perspective. His future had been walking around him all along and he had finally seen the light. Now when she woke up, he wouldn't hold anything back, he would confess to her all the things he had thought about and see how things progressed from there. He was sure she was interested somewhat, how much so he wasn't exactly sure but he was sure going to try. Heather deserved someone special and he hoped he filled the bill. Her tongue moved out of her mouth and licked her nose, as if searching for something. He grinned and exhaled knowing he could watch her all day. It was then she opened her eyes. She looked out upon the world but it was all a haze, she recalled nothing much, only that she knew she was awake. Well, sort of awake, things were still spinning somewhat. She thought she recognized the figure in front of her though. Her vision slowly began to clear and sure enough she spotted Hector. What was he doing here, wherever here was, she thought. She saw him pushing on something and he was mumbling some sort of gibberish that she couldn't make out. She tried to move but her head felt like a ton of bricks. So she decided it was best, just to stay where she was and just watch and see what happened. As she watched she thought she could hear Hector saying something to her but it was coming out all funny. His words didn't make any sense at all, but she really didn't mind, it was nice to see him. Soon another fur came in, a black panther and started talking as well but he didn't make any sense either. The fact that he pointed a flashlight in her eyes was a bit much, though; she didn't think that was very nice of him to do that. She tried to move her paw up to stop him but felt something holding her back. She didn't know what, so she tried and tried again, which got everyone excited. She tried moving again, this time she tried her legs as well and that got everyone really going. Suddenly two more people arrived then she felt paws all over her body. It didn't feel right so she tried to shake them off, but it wasn't much use they were strong. She tried even harder to shake them but in the corner of her eye she thought she saw a needle but she couldn't swear by that. Then the world began to spin and things began to get blurry. Bye Hector it was nice to see you, her mind said as the world went black. "Oh boy is she ever strong for her size." The doctor said, trying to recover his breath. Hector had guessed that, seeing them all in action. "Yeah, it's a good thing you had those restraints on her." He saw the use for them, but still he didn't like it. "Yes it is and they are staying on, I noticed that she didn't seem too responsive to my talking to her though." "To me either, she looked really out of it." "Yes she must still be a bit under; hmmmm, that might not be a good sign but it's way too early to tell. At least she is awake, that's half the battle. Good thing you called us right away." "Well I wasn't sure what was going to happen, when I saw her eyes open. I knew at that moment you had better be here." "Good thinking Lad. Well she'll sleep for a good while now. Why don't you get some rest, seen you around here a lot lately, I'm sure you must be tired." "Yeah Doc, she means a lot to me, more than I really thought." "Well it's good she has someone like you, then." He patted his shoulder. "I'll take a break and give her parents a call, I'm sure they'll want to hear this news." "That they will my boy, that they will." Hector bid the doctor a good bye and went to call Heather's Mom and Dad. It was news he would be glad to report. Canada about 2 months ago The world moved, or so she thought. She closed her eyes and opened them again to a very bland looking ceiling. Time had passed but she wasn't sure how much. She sat up and looked at the whole room, it was sterile and uninteresting. Looking at her paws she was shocked to find she was blue. Not dark blue but a bright robin's egg blue. Her eyesight had also changed to her dismay; she couldn't focus on anything far away. In the end she knew that she was going to need corrective lenses for sure. She tried to remember her last days but they were a blur, she knew that she had been asleep, but not how long. Things flashed before her eyes and she was unsure of what they meant. Awareness wracked her body of feelings all over her body but concentrated mostly between her legs. It was a familiar feeling; the lust for sex. She had experienced this before and now it was back; she hoped it wasn't any worse. She tried to move but found her muscles stiff as her body refused to cooperate with her. Remaining still she listened for voices but heard nothing, she thought it best if she just went back to sleep. She put her paw up to wipe her muzzle and found two more startling things, two large fangs jutted out of the side of her mouth. On her forearms she had bony plates and bony protrusions on the knuckles of her paws. They could almost, with some filing, be claws, she thought. She decided to close her eyes and rest; there would be plenty of time to explore later. Her paw traveled down her body and found a comfortable place between her thighs. The next morning, Mother took a stroll through the house but only a few things really jogged her memory. All of the staff she knew nothing of. She poked her head in here and there; it was as if this wasn't her home and she was just a guest. It wasn't until a young cougar came to her and told her he had something that she should watch. Something that would make things a little clearer. It was a huge screen and the young cougar gave her the remote to control the tape machine. She remembered how to work it, it wasn't complicated but she let him explain anyway. Besides she found him cute; after he left her alone, she pushed play and a female white weasel filled the large screen. She looked and somehow felt familiar. The female weasel began to talk, "You are probably wondering exactly what is going on here. Well, that's what I'm here for; in time you will be making one of these things as well. Confused? Well I've been in your seat and I know, so I'll go slowly. It's a long tape and we have all the time in the world. If you haven't figured this out yet I'm you and you're me, in part, anyway." She had assumed that this woman was the former head of the household. She was curious as to how she could be that woman on that tape but she continued to listen. The scene shifted and the woman now was seated behind a desk and talking obviously to the camera. "A lot of this tape is just information but right now I will explain what's happened to you. You have been in a hibernation of sorts for many years. How many, I don't really know; it has varied over the years from 15 to as many as 50. What does happen in those years varies greatly, too. In fact I'm sure you look a whole lot different than I do. That is common, mostly it's fur colouring, I was once bright pink! It was embarrassing and it didn't dye well. A major draw back to this is memory loss; it also varies and is why I make these tapes and keep detailed journals, for I never really know what gets lost. It is unfortunate that our memory is always lost; that cannot be helped. I have tried to correct that with horrible results; it is up to you if you wish to try again. I can't put everything in these tapes but my research and most of my plans are here. If you wish to continue with them, that is your prerogative. The staff had orders to do certain things while we slept; if you are awake and listening to this, then they have done their jobs. I will discuss what is to be done with them a little later but I wish to discuss some more of what is going on with your body." She listened with great interest, she still found it hard that the woman on the screen was herself but there was no mistake. It was fascinating what her body had undergone and it was something she would have to look into further. However it was time to bring herself up to speed. |
