Ark: Chapter One

I felt raw rays of heat slowly cooking my skin as I laid in a fetal position with the feeling of small pebbles the size of gravel under me, it was biting into the exposed skin of my arms, lower side, and legs. I opened my mouth and released a very loud gag as I felt my stomach twist in pain, I cupped my lower abdomen as I hurled heavily, feeling a gel-like substance pour out my mouth. 

I could feel the threadbare fabric under my fingertips as I continued to hurl onto the ground beside me, I pulled myself to my hands and knees slowly as I continued to choke and hack up the clear gel that was clogging my throat. I moaned in distress as I felt something cold touch my neck, I maintain my hands and knees position while looking up to see a pointy hunk of metal and immediately recognized it as a Pike , how did I know it was that, I’m not so sure. I looked farther than the Pike to see the silhouette of a man standing before me.

He was very lanky with very scrawny arms and thin hands that secured his melee weapon in his hands tightly, I gulped and watched as he held the weapon to my neck with a very big smirk on his face. He had brown hair on top of his head in a very unruly way, he appeared to had just gotten out of bed from the way his hair laid on his head, his eyes were a dark blue with low cheekbones and a large nose centered in his face. 

He wasn’t very attractive to look at, nor anything special, his forehead was large and he had various pimples present, a unibrow connected his eyebrows that hung heavily over his eyes. His head was also very large as it sat atop of his body, which was relatively thin and had no muscles even though he was completely topless, his stomach was flat and his thighs were very skinny. The man also had a large scar above his bellybutton, as well as many others framing his chest and torso in different zigzags that made me curious on how he got so many of them.

There was a large crowd that had formed behind him and as I looked past them, I was able to see tall Wooden Walls. The crowd consisted of women and children, including other men as they stared at me and the lanky man. The man smirked at me as I shivered again while staring at him unsurely, I didn’t know what he could do to me but he already had the upper hand by having a very sharp weapon pointing at me. 

He lowered the weapon a little so it was pointing more at the center of my collarbones, top of my sternum bone, and his smirk widened as he glanced me up and down, making me feel even more uncomfortable around him. I felt my stomach curl up as I looked at the pointing and whispering crowd behind him, they had all crowded amongst one another while staring at our exchange, I wasn’t sure if I was safe in this area but I was hoping I could get away and to real safety.

“Don’t worry about them.” The man finally spoke, making me look back at him. “They’re just as curious as you are.”

I had expected a slightly-low voice for a man but even for this lanky man before me, his voice had no real authority to it because it wasn’t very deep and demanding as most men’s voice would be at his age. He removed the Pike from the top of my sternum bone and I was able to relax as I lifted my arms to my chest for comfort, I then realized that I wasn’t wearing the same clothes I had on before I was stabbed with a needle. 

Instead, I wore a very threadbare dress that was an ugly tanned color and shield almost nothing of me, the dress stopped mid-thigh and the slightest moves caused for it to rise. My eyes widened in shock as I quickly grabbed the end of the dress and pulled it over myself, I looked up at the man with an alert expression as he watched me with a sneer for covering up what I had.

“Aw come on,” The man chuckled, reaching forward and grabbing the round neckline of my threadbare dress,“ we all just want a peek.“ With that, he tried to ripped the dress off of me completely.

He struggled with the thread as I tried to pull myself away from him, the struggle between us caused the dress to finally come off my body and give everyone the glory of my figure, I gasped as I shielded my face while feeling the embarrassment while the men and women stared at me. 

I was naked and at their will as they examined my body from a distance, I pulled my knees tightly to my frame in an attempt to hide my lower treasures while wrapping my arms around my chest to hide my busty bosoms. My heart thumped in my chest as water spilled from my eyes and flowed down my cheeks, my stomach curled in dismay as I balled up and buried my face between my hands.

“She looks like a Doedicurous !” Someone in the crowd yelled, and I heard the sounds of agreement as I ignored them and kept my face buried into my arms.

There was also an aching pain in my wrist but I ignored it as I tightened my hold at the feeling of the man’s thin hand wiggling into my ball, he grabbed the inner side of my elbows and tried to move my arms so people could see my breast once more. I was embarrassed that people had seen me naked without even knowing who I was, judging me by the way I looked as I sat before them completely naked. 

My embarrassment was surreal that I didn’t want to ever see these people again, I wanted them all to just die or leave me alone for good by disappearing into another planet, Mercury would work just fine. As I laid balled, I was able to realize that my throat was becoming itchy from the lack of water and my stomach was starting to ache because I was becoming hungry.

“Please! Leave me alone!” I cried as I sniffed and wiped my face against my arms without looking up to see if anyone was still trying to harass me.

One minute everyone was laughing and I could hear them making jokes about me as I stayed balled in the same position but it immediately silenced as I sniffed and quietly sobbed to myself, I wanted to crawl in a hole and die. I slowly took a deep breath and lifted my head to see why it was so quiet, I reached up and wiped the tears from my face as I looked to see the lanky man staring past me with his eyes wide, I sniffed once more as I felt a very heavy presence behind me.

I slowly turned my head and came face-to-face with someone’s crotch, I quickly lifted my head to look directly at the person as he stood with his head held high and his eyes trained on the lanky guy from earlier. I sniffed and reached up to wipe more fallen tears from my cheeks as I stayed balled in my little ball to hide my privates, I watched as the man looked at the threadbare dress in the scrawny guy’s hand before looking down at me then back up to the lanky guy’s face. 

The smaller guy took a step back and dropped the dress in his hand as I watched him, I sniffed and wiped a couple of more fallen tears before reaching forward and grabbing my dress. I sniffled loudly once more before pulling the dress over my head the best I could without showing any privates, the weak-fabric dress fell over my shoulders before falling directly down and piling around me because the hole of the neckline was completely torn past the width of my shoulders. 

I shielded my breast the best I could as I looked up just in time to see the lanky guy glaring up at the large man that stood before him as the two stared each other down without saying a word. I was now able to see the comparison of the large man compared to the lankier guy.

The large man had curly hair on top of his head and the curls fell along side his face, his wavy bangs were pushed out of his handsome face as he stared down at the man with a sneer on his pink, thin lips. He was built with broad shoulders and a muscular neck, his eyes were an electric, unnatural blue that had thin brown eyebrows on his glaring eyes. His arms and legs were thick and muscular as well, even thought he wasn’t shirtless, I could still see his masculine pecks and flat stomach because his Metal Chestplate clutched to his frame to provide all protection he would need. 

The man had high cheekbones and a small five o’clock shadow that made him look very handsome from any angle you picked, he also wore a pair of Metal Leggings and Metal Boot s to protect his legs and feet from anything wanting to hurt him. His large, prodigious hands were encased in Metal Gauntlets to almost complete his full set of armor.

“W-Why the hell are you here?!” The lanky guy seethed, tightening his hold on his Pike threateningly as I turned my attention from the large, handsome man that stood before him. “You’re not getting any more Cementing Paste , get lost, punk.”

The lanky guy stepped back while glancing around the crowd for an odd reason, I wasn’t sure who he was looking for but the way he had addressed the larger man was completely rude and unnecessary. I drew my legs closer to my body as I continued to shield my busty breast with my hands, I could feel my hard nipples pushing against my palms and they seemed to not want to relax as I willed them, no, mentally

begged

them to go down.

“You know why the hell I’m here.” The larger man stated, his voice deep and heavy as he spoke.

The tone in his voice caused me to shiver as I suppressed the curious wonders inside of my body down, I wanted to know why the large man was here as well but I wasn’t standing up so everyone could see me once more. I was able to see more people joining the crowd and watching the altercation that was slowly falling into place.

“What is it then?” The lanky guy replied with a snort, setting his Pike arrogantly over his shoulder as he shot the crowd a smug look. “You want some pussy? Ain’t none here for you anymore, like I said before,

get lost

.“

I looked at the lanky buy with a face of bewilderment, I was surprised that he spoke so fluently and boldly about such things, it was another thing that made me frown in disgust at him. I was surprised when the larger man released a very deep chuckle that made my heart clench while looking down at his feet, he then reached forward and wrapped his right hand tightly around the lanky guy’s neck and squeezed while glaring into his face. 

I stared on in shock as the crowd stared with glee, they wanted to see action and I knew they would do anything to get it. I stared on with wide eyes as the lanky guy dropped his Pike and tried to pry the larger guy’s immense hand off of him while squirming. I stared in shock as the man tightened his hand and the lanky guy seized his movement while staring at the guy with fear-filled eyes.

“

I said

: You know why the fuck I’m here.“ The large man repeated with a hard tone, his sneer becoming heavier and more intimidating.

“Oh,

fuck you

!“ The lanky guy squinted his panic-filled eyes then opened them abruptly. “ Yeah, I know why the fuck you’re here and ya ain’t getting it back either.“

“Fine, I guess we can fight for it.” With that, the large man released his hold on the lanky guy and allowed him to drop to the sandy ground with a thump. “A duel.”

Ark: Chapter One: B

The smaller guy landed beside his Pike with a grunt, he glanced at it then back up at the large man while getting an idea, it was as if a lightbulb went over his head suddenly as he stared between the two. He grabbed the handle of his weapon and got to his feet quick, I went to open my mouth and warn the man but I had no reason to. Just as the lanky guy drew closer, the larger man turned around and grabbing ahold of the weapon with ease, deflecting the blow of the Pike blade while throwing a single punch toward the man. 

The punch had a lot of force behind it because the man slid far across the ground before tumbling to a stop, the burly man then threw the lanky man’s Pike elsewhere as the crowd gasped at the aggressive touch exchanged between the two men before loud cheering overtook them. I stared in shock as the heaving-chest larger man stared at the smaller man, who slowly pulled himself to his feet, the smaller man cracked his back with a pained groan before rolling his neck with a loud, uncomfortable wince.

“Fuck… that really hurt.” The smaller guy mumbled thoughtlessly, taking a sluggish step and almost falling back to the ground. “Damn…” He said, bracing his hands on his knees and taking a deep breath then reaching up and rubbing his jaw.

“Come on, Ronnie.” Someone in the crowd yelled amongst the cheering. “I’m actually rooting for your pitiful ass.”

I would had laughed if I wasn’t so stunned by the crowd’s reaction to the physical violence, how could they like such a thing, were their lives that boring and did they really have nothing better to do?

“Shut up!” The smaller guy yelled toward the crowd with a glare, making them slowly quiet down. “Anything but the Rex, Greg would…”

The smaller guy trailed while shaking his head, showing he was no longer wanting to fight and I was sure that the hit wasn’t the only thing that changed his mind about competing against the large man. The larger man rose an eyebrow as he waited for the smaller man to complete his sentence, I was curious to know what the smaller man was going to say as well. I looked toward the large man as he glanced down at me and then finished with a full-on confused stare as if he was surprised by my appearance, as if I just appeared before him. 

I sheepishly cut my eyes to the ground as I blinked a couple of times and willed my heart to relax, I was in a very serious dilemma and I needed someone to help me out. He was a debonair man with the eyes of a curious boy; and as he stared at me, I was able to get a clearer view of his electric eyes, there were small specks of gold surrounding the intense shade of blue, they were beautiful. I gulped and debated the decision to run, how far would I get? Would they actually let me escape? Will I be free?

“Oh… you do just want a little pussy, huh?” The lanky guy asked, rubbing his swollen, red jaw once more. “Well…

take it

.“ A not-so-innocent smile on his face, was he trying to persuade this man to force himself upon me?

“I want my Rex .” The man replied, making me cut my eyes to him then drop them once more.

“Pity… cause she wants you.” The lanky guy chuckled, making the man look over at me then glare at him as my eyes widened and I suddenly felt nauseous.

“I won’t ask again.” The man replied once more, taking a threatening step forward.

“Look…” The lanky guy paused, catching everyone’s attention as they moved their heads back and forth with the chatter, “We make a deal. You take the new girl… and I guess the Rex , bu-”

“You’ve have all the things you could ever want, and you come back for a fucking T-Rex ? I always knew you were so pathetic.” A feminine voice within the crowd spoke up, making us all look toward it as they parted to allow the large man to see who it was.

A woman had very deep brown hair that was nearly on the edge of being black, and it fell in straight waves to her shoulders in a curly, bob fashion. Her glaring eyes were almond shaped with droopy corners, an ocean blue that sparkled in the light with her rosy cheeks giving her a flustered look, well… perhaps, she was flustered. She had an oval-shaped head with very thin lips but the bottom lip was plumper than the top, her nose was aquiline and her cheeks were slightly hollow from the weight she was dropping drastically. 

She, unlike me and a couple of the other villagers, wore a Pink dress that feel like a skin-tight tunic on her and it accented her breast and hips, making her have a very curvy figure in it. The soles of her dainty feet were protected from sharp rocks and such from the sandals on her feet, she seemed pretty pampered if you asked me.

“We haven’t ate Cooked Meat in days since our Pteranodon was killed by a wild Carnosaurus . You selfish prick.” The woman growled as she balled her fist by her sides, glaring at him. “All the fuck we want is some Meat , is that too hard for you to come by, you dickhead? Why don’t you grow a pair and move on, go jump on some whores in a different clan like you were before. We all know the real reason you’re here isn’t because of the Rex , it’s because you aren’t to keen on letting your

‘property’

get away from you, are you?“ She continued, her glare not lessening as she stared the large man down like he was a smashed slug that squirted on her shoe.

“I came for my Rex . Give me my fucking tame…

now

!“ The man demanded loud enough to make everyone flinch, he balled his fist angrily as he took yet another step closer in a threatening manner. “I won’t ask again before I kill everyone in here.”

“Take your fucking T-Rex and shove it where the fucking sun doesn’t shine! You’re not a man and you’ll never be one, you’re so fucking pathetic and a disgrace to our clan, and you know it! At least you will know it’ll be the only thing that could ever love someone like you, you

coward piece of shit

.“ She said, turning and walking away with her nose turned up in the air. “Stupid asshole, 

ass sucki

….“ The comments continued as she angrily marched toward a building not to far away.

I cut my attention to the man just in time to be able to see the man’s lip twitch as he balled his fist up and it was taking everything in his power to not react to the harsh words being spewed his way, I was confused to why they were treating him this way because they were the ones that wanted something he had. The man then turned and headed to a large bird that looked very huge, it had a huge black beak with bangs under its brown eyes, the back of his neck was occupied with large bloody feathers. 

It’s body was gigantic and it easily towered me, but not the man as it shifted to acknowledge the man beside it, it’s wings matched it’s blood red body. It’s big, large black claws were made specifically for grasping and ripping apart it’s prey, I was the size of one claw and I knew that I wouldn’t be safe if this beast came at me while in the wild, it’d gobble me up. I looked away from the creature and toward the ground as it started to shake heavily, I frowned as I looked down at it with a little worry incasing my stomach, I was starting to think that my wish from earlier was coming true.

I was going to be soaked up into the sandy ground below and never be seen again, I turned my attention to look around me and felt terror clutch me tightly in it’s grasp. I stared at the large creature before me, it stood at least fifty meters in height and easily towered over everyone while blocking a large portion of the sun out with it’s oversized head. 

The beast sat with his mouth slightly ajar, letting me see it’s rows of pointy teeth on the top and bottom of it’s jaws, they were pointy enough to cut through any flesh present. I could easily see why the village people wanted a Rex , it was magnificent and could easily protect anyone against another person, I admired the creature in awe, knowing I should be terrified.

It opened it’s wide mouth and released a very loud roar, it echoed the length of the mountains in the distance, it’s body was dark green with a spiky dark orange spikes that ran the length of it’s back, which had dark red specks on it. It’s underbelly was a medium brown shade, black circular scales covered it’s body with them bundling around the neck for protection, it was a force to see and it stood with it’s powerful, thick legs balancing all it’s weight, also with it’s tail. 

The lanky guy climbed off and glance to the large man before nervously cutting his eyes to the crowd. The muscular guy then grabbed the lanky guy by the throat and lifted him so they were face to face, I was shocked as the lanky guy’s feet dangled and he squirmed to get out of the large man’s grip. I was terrified at the sight of the large man, he looked ready to kill the smaller guy and I didn’t want to see him do such a thing, it would only excite the crowd anyway.

“If you

ever

steal something from me again, you’ll regret it.“ With that, the guy let him fall to his feet and turned to leave with no interruption. “And I’m taking her as the community payment.” Her? Who’s her?

Me???

“Wait until Greg finds out about this…” I heard someone mutter, making me bit my lip in curiosity, it was the second time this person’s name has been said.

“I’m going to get you, punk! You’ll see!” The lanky guy said, glaring at the muscular guy as I wished he’d just shut his mouth.

I turned my attention to the Rex as it stood in it’s greatness, it was gigantic and I was just barely able to see over it’s head to see a very tiny hologram screen displaying a little information about it. The hologram read:

[{Hunter}—–493(REX)]

, I looked forward just in time to see the lanky guy push the muscle guy and the muscle guy threw his left fist, it smashed into the tiny guy’s face in almost slow motion to me, I was able to see spit and blood leave the guy’s mouth as he hit the ground with unbelievable force. 

The lanky guy twirled against the ground and groaned as he slammed up against a close building from the blow, he didn’t move as his body fizzed shallowly but regained it’s solidness within seconds. How was his body able to do such a thing if he was human? He took pain like a human and since he wasn’t moving, I knew he was completely knocked out from the blow. 

I looked to the large man as he turned around, I quickly averted my eyes and stared at the ground while my wrist throbbed aggressively, I ignored it as I stared at the sandy ground beneath me because I hadn’t moved a muscle. I finally got to my feet slowly as the large man whistled smoothly and the Rex immediately complied, following him as he backed toward my direction with a low sigh that I almost missed completely.

“You’ll ride her back.” He said with such authority that it made me shiver a little inside and his large, gigantic frame easily towering over me didn’t help the feeling either. “Come here.”

I hadn’t expected for the large man to claim me as I noticed that I had no choice but to go it him, the base in his voice told me so. I walked up to him unsurely, I could feel his anger poisoning the air because he was so mad, I turned to size up the creature with my ripped dress till covering most of my privates but I knew it would only be long before it was helpless to me. 

It constantly slid down my shoulder and threatened to expose my nipple, I refused to let that happen as I constantly pushed it back up my shoulder while waiting for the man to help me. There was no way I was getting up this creature on my own while holding my dress in place, the crowd was starting to slowly disperse as they knew the fighting was over, the lanky guy was being dragged away by his left foot as the ones that stayed behind whispered and pointed.

I felt my heart jump out of my chest as the muscular guy grabbed my hips and easily lifted me off the ground, as if I weighted zero pounds. I quickly grabbed a dangling rope from the Rex Saddle and heaved myself up, I was almost to the designated spot when a hand pushed to seat of my butt and it took everything in me not to start panicking. 

I managed to get to the seat and sat down while holding the ripped dress tightly around me, I looked toward the people that still remained as they watched us. The muscular guy then secured a rope of the Rex Saddle that I hadn’t noticed before, it must of been placed on wrongly and he was fixing it. I felt my stomach turn in hunger, I was so hungry that it was actually a little painful, I needed something to eat and fast.

Ark: Chapter Two

I sat on top of the Rex patiently, not sure where we were going to go but I was determined to get there before the dress on me became useless, I didn’t want these people to see me naked again. I looked toward the muscular man as he walked to his large bird and climbed onto the Argy Saddle strapped to his tamed Argentavis swiftly, his muscles moved around as he pulled himself up and took his seat. I could feel his eyes on me as I quickly averted mine to the beast below me, I was high off the ground and I knew I’d actually hurt myself if I had to jump off it. 

It was surreal at the moment, it’s rough skin seemed to be sparkling from the bright bulb above and I was completely amazed by the sight of this beast. I bit my lip nervously before glancing at the people gathering around us, they stayed clear of the path between the man and I, I wasn’t sure why they hated him and I knew asking right now wasn’t a good choice so I would have to wait until later.

I watched as a large Behemoth Reinforced Dinosaur Gate opened while being held up by a Behemoth Stone Dinosaur Gateway , I wasn’t sure how I knew this stuff but I knew it was a good thing that I did. The man swooped the Argy into the sky using the reins connecting to the Argy Saddle , and all I could do was watch in amazement as the large bird spread used it’s maximum wingspan and allowed us to see the vibrant blood red undersides.

I watched on with my mouth agape in shock, the red coloring was emphasized by the bright light of the sun above and it made the large bird sparkle. I was caught in complete awe and didn’t notice that the man had the Rex following him, I jerked out of my awed state and quickly clutched to the Rex Saddle that was already present when the Rex was brought forward. My heart leaped out my chest as I bit down a squeal of fear, I was taken by surprise of the sudden movement as the Rex walked forward with large, powerful steps. 

I was slightly jarred left and right with each step as it lowered it’s head toward the ground to build momentum in order to stay caught up with the man riding the Argy above us. I had no clue where we were heading but I knew that it would be a little better than the place we just were, or at least I hoped it would. I glanced behind me as the Rex exited out the Behemoth Reinforced Dinosaur Gate and watched as it closed with the sound of clinking filling the air once more. My mind was racing because I was a little scared, I was now going with a complete stranger instead of being circled by complete strangers, I didn’t know if I should of been thinking of positive things or negative things.

Would I be safe with this guy? I watched as the man curved toward the ocean, meaning the Rex was going to follow him through the water, I had no idea where we were going but I was a little excited to see new things, as long as nothing attacked me. I heard the loud slosh as the large body of the Rex started to descend down into the large body of water, a little water speckled up and smacked me in the face while the Rex continued to lower it’s self in the water. It swam at a rather slow pace, weaving back and forth through the water while keeping it’s head pointed out of the water so it could see and it’s nostrils up for air so the Rex could breath. 

The bottom of my feet sunk into the water occasionally and it felt great because they were burning from the baked sand when we were in that protective structure, the water was almost a Maya blue color that glittered from the bright sun above. I could see the shore in the distance, which eventually led to a very thick forest of trees and vines, I almost dreaded going inside because it was going to be so dark and hard to see. 

However, I knew that the Rex was following the man and I was hoping we wouldn’t get left behind by him, I hope he wouldn’t forget about us. We finally reached the shore and I could hear the ground crunching beneath the Rex’s feet as it walked toward the forest while the large man hovered over it patiently waiting for us to catch up with him.

I watched as the sun started to grow less and the dense of the trees started to grow more, shade was blocking out all light and I found it rather appealing to be in calming darkness. The forest wasn’t as green as you would expect, there were many plants around, as well as many creatures. Up ahead, I was able to see a large battle going on, a Trike was battling two Raptors . One Raptor had a dark orange body with dark yellow body accents to mingle with, the feathers on his body were peach orange while the tip of them were mint green, and his belly was a off black that heaved as he launched himself at the Trike . 

The second Raptor had a light yellow belly with a dark grey body, the medium green accents gave him a rough appeal than anything else about him. His feathers were dark green with the tips turning to a bright mint green, it was an astonishing feather makeup but it was growing very bloody from the beating it was taking from the Trike . 

I grabbed my dress and corrected it on my shoulders, trying to hide my breast as I got a little nervous because the fight was right in the path of the Rex . The Trike was trying to defend itself while the Raptors viciously attacked it, my eyes widened as we got closer and closer to the ongoing life-or-death battle, the Rex climbed over a big rock and you could hear it’s feet slam toward the ground as it stepped off it.

My heart raced in my chest as we drew nearer and nearer, I glanced up toward the man on the Argy but couldn’t catch sight of him as I looked back toward the fight. One Raptor noticed us coming in the distance and did a scary roar, making me squeal as I got ready to take flight off the Rex and hopefully to safety. Suddenly, something ripped from the sky and crushed the roaring Raptor completely, my mouth dropped open as I stared in shock while the man’s Argy started to rip through everything easily. 

I watched in fear and awe as the Argy killed the Trike , leaving it in a very bloody mash of flesh before the dead body dissolved into nothing. The once crushed Raptor had managed to regain it’s bloody composure before it tried to take off but the Argy quickly took flight and grabbed it in it’s claws, making my jaw drop farther if possible. The Argy went to the sky and started to shred the Raptor until it’s body became a bloody mash as well then dissolving in the Argy’s sharp talons. 

The last Raptor was glancing around for the Argy, and I was too but it was hard to spot it amongst all the thick, tall trees preventing some of the sunlight from coming through. Suddenly, a very loud, animalistic call, which I assumed was the Argy , was heard and seconds later, the large bird came down and viciously stomped on the Raptor , crushing it into a bloody mash as I stared on in shock. I watched on as the man’s Argy started to walk while he surveyed everything, he stared at the ground with stern eyes before they turned onto me and I quickly dropped mine to make it seem like I wasn’t staring at him.

“Stay caught up.” He said suddenly, making me glance up at him before dropping my eyes to the ground.

I nodded quietly before the Rex I was riding started to move toward him, there was no way I was controlling the Rex but I didn’t argue with him in the fear that he would make his Argy attack me next. I held onto the handle of the Rex Saddle tightly, scared that I would fall off if I released it, I wasn’t sure where that man was leading me exactly but I knew it was to his home, wherever that was. 

The feeling of the Rex jarring beneath me gave me a sick sensation but after a while, I started to enjoy the ride while watching the creatures from small to medium slowly pass without a care in the world that I was near them. A Dodo wobbled along the trail I was following with the man as he led me and the beast I sat atop of to our new location, which was probably his personal home. It was still sort of agonizing as I wasn’t used to any of this, I still believed I was dreaming but as it seemed, I couldn’t wake up so maybe all of this was actually real and I was just having a hard time believing it myself. 

The trail went on a little further before we reached what looked like a giant gate, even from afar, I could tell it was very tall but what was worse was a tall creature nestling right in front of the gate and the T-Rex was heading straight for it. It was a Carnotaurus and it looked rather hungry as it sensed us and turned it’s eyeball toward us, I nervously gulped as I prepared for a war until suddenly something swooped down and managed to swoop up the Carno , the Argy struggled for a moment but it managed to defeat the beast. If I was ever told I’d be put into this situation, I’d walk away before the person even finished their sentence but this was something I was still in disbelief about. 

This brawny figure of a man weren’t real, this forest we were tearing through wasn’t real, this life wasn’t real, and shit, dinosaurs probably aren’t real either. What the hell was all of this? I dodged my face from being smacked a few times as we continued to pave along the trail that led past the door and into the closed off area, it was mostly quiet in here but even I could look around and see it was the stranger’s base. It seemed that then everything was dawning on me and I couldn’t move fast enough as the T-Rex came to a stop and I tumbled to the ground moments later from squirming to get away from this sudden realization. 

I actually was in another dimension, I actually was surrounded by creatures that went extinct millenniums ago, and I actually was in possession to a man I didn’t know. I tried desperately to comprehend what was happening and why was it happening to me, but I came up with nothing because I hadn’t wronged anyone in the past twenty-so years in my life. Well, there was one guy in school that I wronged because I gave him the wrong answer purposely but that wouldn’t affect me, right? 

I heard flapping of wings and it brought me back to my senses as the man unmounted the large bird that he had domesticated somehow, how can someone make a creature like that his or her pet? I coward away out of instinct of cautiousness as he towered so high above me, he was automatically tall with me standing beside him but he blocked out the entire sun when he stood over me.

“What’s wrong?” He asked stupidly, making me look at in disbelief, he acted like all this around him was normal.

NONE OF THIS SHIT WAS NORMAL!

“Where the fuck am I?” I finally asked, mustering up enough courage.

Ark: Chapter Three

I impatiently waited for an answer as the man calmly eyed me closely, as if he was just now having the time to analyze my body as a whole. I looked around the area and was nearly ready to run back out the gate at the sight of the other creatures around, my head felt ready to explode as more and more things started to gain my attention as I looked around the mysterious man’s base. 

It was relatively secretive considering it was in the middle of nowhere, probably a forest crater to be exact, and all the tall trees and the location of the forest meant you’d probably fly right past it if you weren’t paying attention. There was a large pond that ran along the center of his territory and I was sure it housed many critters of the ocean, and anything that fell from the cliffs of the crater would fall to an immediately death, even a human.

I looked in the direction of his home next and was pretty surprised with the hut as it wasn’t too small but it definitely was enough room for him and a partner, I guess he’s had someone else here with him before. Wooden logs made up the exterior with even the addition of a tiny porch with wooden railings that probably took him all morning to stack into place, he hadn’t just simply thrown some wood together. 

It was obvious that he took his time with his home, I glanced over at his gigantic frame as he corrected the straps on his T-Rex before stepping back and looking over at me. I rose an eyebrow as I was still waiting for an explanation to where the hell I was, and how the hell I got here, if he could answer those for me… maybe he doesn’t know either. 

“Where am I?” I asked again.

“The first people always called it ARK.” He explained, pursing his lips while glancing around. 

“Okay… but what is it?” I asked him, curious to what he meant.

“Anything you want it to be.” He replied with a simple shrug. “What’s your name?”

It was my turn to now purse my lips as I debated answering him, oh what the hell . “Frannie, yours?”

“Hunter.” He smiled lightly, and I couldn’t help but smile lightly in return as I turned my back to him to give his base another once over before another question came to my mind.

“What does ARK stand for?” I pushed, wondering if he understood what I was asking.

“It’s just what they named the island.” He said with a simple shrug as if this was okay to him.

“You say it like you’re okay with all of this.” I whispered, very curious of him now.

“It’s a restart for me.” He didn’t elaborate.

I decided that I had pestered him long enough and fell silent as I continued to analyze the area around me, it wasn’t much to it other than the many creatures he had around and there were so many varieties that I didn’t even know where to start. I crossed my arms over my chest subconsciously as fear started to dwell in the pit of my stomach, I was in an unknown place and I was with a complete stranger. 

On Earth, something like this would be shunned on by so many people because nothing about this was okay. He had won me in a duel and I had no say in anything that he did to me, I was his slave? I was so in thought that I hadn’t realized that he was standing beside me until he had moved to cross his arms over his chest as well, I quickly looked in his direction just as my senses kicked back in. 

He smelled like firewood, soot, and the decadent smell of berries as he looked over at me and his electric blue eyes stole my breath away in an instant. It was as if all the energy in my body left and I was a puddle of flesh in the matter of minutes, a puddle of flesh that was ready to bend over for him and I didn’t know anything but his name. His presence made me feel powerless in the nicer way of things, I didn’t feel powerless like I was his slave, I felt powerless like I was a woman trying to love a man that didn’t love me. 

“It’s getting late.” Hunter said, breaking me from my trance. “Let’s go inside.”

“O-O-Okay.” What the hell, Frannie! Get it together!

“Okay.”

Hunter led the way as I quickly fell in line behind him while nervously glancing around to make sure one of those creatures from early wouldn’t come and try to make me their prey next, I wasn’t paying attention and ran into Hunter’s stocky back as he stopped near the door. I gasped and quickly stepped back at he didn’t even budge but simply released a low chuckle as I quickly took another step back so there was a decent foot of space between us.

“I’m sorry!” I hurriedly apologized, grabbing onto the railing of the porch as he quickly shook his head.

“It’s alright, I shouldn’t have stopped in the middle of the walkway.” He has manners, that’s a blessing. “I was just going to ask are you hungry?”

“Yes, thank you.” I said softly.

In that moment I was thankful that I had gotten stuck with Hunter and not the jackass back at the other base, the little bastard had made a joke out of my dilemma and I had been so afraid of all the eyes on my nakedness after he had ripped my dress. Speaking of my ripped dress, I looked down and attempted to keep most of myself covered as I trailed inside the sizeable hut behind Hunter while he went to find me something to eat. 

Upon entering for the first time, I was immediately blasted with the warmth of a small fire raging near an area I assumed was the kitchen. The fire gave off the most light with a small rustic, handmade lamp in the distance to light up the lounging area I assumed was where Hunter would just lounge around when he had nothing else to do. As I said, it was enough space for him and a partner without needing to be sized down or expanded, which was a good thing because all of this newness was making me sleepy. 

The soft crackling of the fire and the dimmed space was very welcoming to a nap as Hunter gestured for me to follow him into the kitchen area with the air only growing warmer as we got closer. I watched as he skillfully fed the fire before walking over to the fridge in the corner of the kitchen and pulling the door open, I glanced around the dimmed area while yawning softly just as he turned to me holding x10 Cooked Meat and an Iced Canteen that I took. 

I was amazed at his generosity and also my knowledge of this items as I looked at them. “Thanks, but you don’t have to-”

“I want to.” He immediately cut me off, making me nod slowly. “ARK’s knowledge is already imprinted in your mind, that’s how you know what some things are already.”

I nodded while now understanding why I knew what a Pike was, or how I knew the Iced Canteen was something I drunk from whenever I was thirsty. I smiled lightly at his kindness as I held both items close to me while watching as he shut the fridge door back before leading me toward the next room, which was his bedroom. I didn’t hesitate to climb inside of it as he rounded the other side while I sat my belonging beside me for when I awake, I looked over just as Hunter nestled onto the other side. 

An awkward silence came over us as I turned to face his while laying on my side and he stared up at the ceiling with a stoic expression, his mind was elsewhere and I guess I couldn’t blame him. Just like I was sharing a bed with a stranger, a stranger was sharing a bed with him and I could see how that would make him uneasy as well. 

“I’m sorry.” Hunter whispered suddenly, making me glance at him in question.

“About what?” I asked softly, truly curious to why he was apologizing.

“That you’re stuck with me.” He said, finally turning his head to look at me. 

I stared at him for a moment in shocking silence because of what he had said but not only was he breaking my heart verbally, the sight of him with his eyes holding unfallen tears pulled at my heartstrings as he blinked a few times to rid of them. I wanted to know why everyone treated him like shit at the camp, why had everyone berate him and shun him the way they did because no one deserved that. 

No one deserved to feel like they weren’t wanted, and definitely not someone as kind as Hunter. He had welcomed me in and he didn’t hate to feed me, he didn’t have to give me something to drink, and he sure as hell didn’t have to let me lay in his bed. Hell, the man didn’t even have to welcome me into his home!

“Hunter…” I trialed softly, a light laugh slipping my lips as he went back to staring at the ceiling. “I don’t understand how people can hate such a good person like you. You’re such a sweet man.” I ended with a yawn.

“You don’t know me.” He retorted and I nodded immediately.

“You’re right, but I see how you’re treating me.” I replied back. “You’re kind to me, and you’ve allowed a complete stranger in your house.”

He fell silent and I did as well, nearly dosing off as I listened to his uneven breathing while he appeared to be picking my words apart on the inside of his mind, as if he wanted to find a reason to still not believe me. The small action made me smile lightly as I started to float while sleep beckoned me to come to it’s side, and I was nearly there. 

“I just don’t want to get hurt again.” He whispered and I barely heard it as I fell into the darkness.

Everything was completely dark as I sat silently listening to my surroundings, I wasn’t sure where I was exactly but I knew none of this shit was normal, a soft buzzing soon filled my ear as I opened my eyes and looked to see that I was in some white, empty room with just me and the soft buzzing of a machine. A long IV was attaching me to the machine as it pumped some sort of clear fluid inside of me, I squinted my eyebrows in curiosity as I looked at the IV bag hanging on the machine. 

Nutrients is what I assumed it was, but I did notice my name scribbled in sharpie on the bag as my body seemed to suck the clear liquid in happily, as if it accepted it with grace. What the hell is going on? A brighter light flashed suddenly and I quickly tried to move my hand over my eyes to shield from the light but as fast as the light came, it moved away and I was able to see a blurry figure near me. I watched on as the figure moved to the machine and poked a few buttons before turning to look at me. I quickly shut my eyes suddenly and I was willing them to open so I could see who this person was but they wouldn’t open again. Was this a memory?

I slowly pulled my eyes open and was enticed into the warmth beside me as I curled closer with my feet digging into the warm flesh of Hunter beside me, his body was so warm and the morning chill was messing with my sleep. Seconds later, his masculine arm slumped over my waist and he pulled me taut against him in a manner that only a man in love would do and for a moment I was in utter shock as he sighed, somehow he was still asleep. 

I decided to not move and pretend to be asleep as he started to stir while moving to stretch very carefully, he didn’t want to wake me up and I decided to fake awake as he released his hold on me carefully. I opened my eyes and again those ocean blue eyes with golden speckles blew me away as I stared into them in my sleepy state, they’re so beautiful. 

“Good morning.” I whispered, voice groggy from sleep.

“Good morning, Frannie.” Hunter replied softly.

“Mmm, why it’s chilly?” I asked, smiling lightly as he stared at me with a small smile.

“The fire went out while we were asleep.” Hunter informed me, making me nod and shiver slightly. “I have a few things to do today and I’m sure you want to go look around.” He said while sitting up and pulling me with him.

I stretched toward the ceiling and since there was nothing holding my torn dress in place, it immediately puddled around my waist and my entire chest was in view as his eyes automatically dropped to admire them. I looked down and quickly pulled the dress up with a sheepish giggle as his face reddened and he attempted to play cool like he wasn’t interested but the way he fidgeted slightly told me otherwise.

He had gotten excited about me flashing him my busty breast with nipples standing so proudly in the chilled air, I had expected him to go full sexual mode and even grab a feel in the middle of the night. I was a light sleeper so I would of felt him grabbing me but much to my respect, he had stayed on his side of the bed and I was the one who had to seek him out for warmth.

“Do you know how I can get a new dress?” I asked lightly, letting him know I wasn’t upset at his reaction to me. 

“Unfortunately… yeah, I do.” He chuckled, his face still pretty red but he kept his composure.

I smiled as he rose to his feet and walked to a chest he had stored in the corner of his bedroom, which wasn’t a big bedroom but he did install a window so the crisp morning air managed to find itself inside to bring us close together. I blinked as I suddenly remembered my dream and I was in a white room with a person checking the machine holding my IV, I wonder if Hunter ever had a dream like that.

“Hey, Hunter… you ever dreamed of a white room?” I asked him curiously, watching as he started rambling through his things.

“My first day.” He replied, pulling out a Silver Coloring dress that I knew was meant for me. “I haven’t dreamed since that.”

I rose to my feet and circled to where he was as he passed me the dress and I thankfully took it, slightly proud that I had an affect on Hunter, I allowed the dress to slip from my grip and it completely cascaded down my body swiftly. His eyes widened as they quickly trailed up and down my body to soak in everything he was seeing and it was as if a fat boy saw a candy store. I turned away from him in a teasing manner as my butt came into his view while I unfolded the dress and slowly slipped it on to add fuel to the fire. 

I felt Hunter’s presence dangerously close as he was nearly half a step away, his heat was what my body yearned for, my hard nipples swirled in the air with every little movement I made. I wasn’t sure what made me do this to him, better yet to have enough confidence to do something like this in front of a stranger but at the same time, I felt amazing. I wanted this feeling to last, I felt wanted more than ever as he lightly brushed his fingertips barely above my globes, he wanted to touch me more than ever.

“You’re teasing me.” He whispered huskily near my ear, causing a shiver to course through me but not from the cold.

“Is that a crime?” What was I saying… what was I trying to do?

I was losing my mind and I knew the longer we stayed like this, the sooner we would be sleeping together and for some reason, I was craving for Hunter and I wanted to sleep with him, all of me wanted to sleep with him. Was it sympathy I felt? No one wanted to make Hunter feel good and was it just me deciding I wanted to be where he could find peace? No, it was more than that. It was something so much deeper and I felt a strong pull to him for some reason, a reason I couldn’t explain. 

“It is when you’re not going to allow me to have fun.” He replied, his voice caused me to shiver once more but a moan immediately slipped afterward as I felt the wetness caking below.

“Who said you couldn’t?” I retorted with a tiny smile, a light chuckle followed my lips next as he pushed his body flush against mine.

The feeling of his rock hard body against mine sent me into complete horny mode as I pushed back against him while his hands came up to cup my breast tenderly, his manly touch wasn’t too rough as he lightly kneaded them. He seemed hesitant at first, as if he expected me to be still teasing him and to push him away now that he was very hot and bothered, but I didn’t dare step out of his reach as I moaned at the way he tweaked my hard nipples so well. He definitely knew the way to please a woman and that also made me believe he had a previous partner. 

“H-Hunter…” I moaned wantonly, cupping my left hand over his while my right hand snaked behind me eagerly.

My search wasn’t long as I found his groin and started to grope at him the same way he was kneading me, he was already hard and I was hoping to release some of that tension as he grunted at the feeling of my fingers rubbing at the mushroom head tucked away. The feel of his cock in my hand was amazing, I could feel the heat of it through his bottoms as it jerked in anticipation, causing me to get even wetter to the point it was running down my thighs.

“P-Please…” I moaned as his mouth found my neck and started to nibble in all the right places. 

“Please, what, baby?” He asked softly, his right hand now snacking down the front of my dress and hiking it up teasingly.

“Please touch me.” I moaned, what the hell was happening to my body? I’m on fire! “Please.”

My back arched as Hunter did what I begged him to, his fingers touched the treasure to between my thick thighs as I pushed them wide apart so he had easier access, he groaned against my neck as I felt his finger enter me. I was no stranger to sex and I was gladly going to show Hunter that I knew what I was doing as I started to rock on his fingers while still squeezing his cock. 

He started to hunch back against me as I turned around to face him and again he hesitated as if he expected me to push him off me while I simply started to pull him out of the Metal Leggings and he didn’t stop me. Instead, he focused on pushing more fingers in me, making me mewl with desire while he tried to restrain himself, and I noticed it when he gritted his teeth.

“Don’t hold back.” I whispered. “Take control of me.” I beckoned.

I wanted to be dominated by him, and only him, for the rest of my life and that was a strong commitment considering I only knew this man for less than twenty-four hours, did this place considered twenty-four hours as a day? I pushed the thought aside as Hunter dropped his resisting and lifted me up off my feet suddenly, with no break in step, he pushed me against the nearest wall and lined himself with my hole. 

I squealed with lust as he pushed himself inside me the moment he was perfectly lined up and being the gentleman he was, he paused when his head was inside. I squirmed while still atop of him because I hadn’t completely adjusted but my fluids dripping along his cock was helping tremendously as he slid a little more of himself inside. 

‘Oh my god, I’m having sex with a complete stranger!’ I realized as everything suddenly washed over me like a wave.

“Wait, wait!” I cried as Hunter pushed himself to the hilt. “Wait, Hunter! Oh, god! Yes!” 

I gasped as my wetness loudly slurped Hunter in completely to the hilt like he wanted, stretching as he slipped himself back out then pushed back in. I moaned as my thoughts vanished the instant he bottomed himself inside me, I threw my head back and screamed in bliss as he immediately found my spot. My most sacred spot, and he targeted it skillfully as we both panted while the sound of skin smacking filled the air quickly. 

It was bliss. 

It was complete bliss.

Ark: Chapter Four

I was nervous about the way Hunter would react now that the deed had been done, I had expected him to push me away or to shut me out and while he didn’t do that, I wouldn’t say that he didn’t fully open to me either. He had kept his distance most of the day and I had stayed near his house so that nothing would attack me, I stepped back inside to refill my Canteen and realized that there wasn’t anything inside the house to put more water into my Canteen , and I wasn’t sure about anything but going to the pond outside and refilling it. 

I stepped from the porch and lifted my hand to block the sun so that I could see better, the sun was beaming brightly and it caused the plants to seem more lively because the greenery shrubs looked heathier. I spotted Hunter by the river with slowly moved over to where he was standing with one piece of Raw Meat in his hand while he closely watched the water for something, I stood beside him and me drawing close had gained his attention immediately as he gave me a forced smile before tossing the meat into the air above the pond. 

I looked at the action curiously and just as I opened my mouth to question him about it, something large shot through the air and snatched the meat into it’s mouth right at the peak of Hunter’s throw. I looked over just in time to catch a dark green tail sliding under the pond surface, I could make the outline of an alligator and I stumbled back in fear just as Hunter threw another piece of meat into the air above the pond.

“It’s okay, he won’t hurt you.” Hunter said, pausing as he grabbed my hand and quickly steadied me as I looked at the pond with uncertainty.

“Will it stay in there?” I asked him, not feeling safe as I quickly moved to stand by Hunter with fear.

“I can call him out.” Hunter said, grabbing my elbow gently and taking a few steps back while releasing a soft whistling, he then reached into his open Preserving Bin to grab more food.

The Sarco quickly broke the surface with the top of it’s head first, it floated momentarily while it’s beaded eyes quickly searched the area before locking on me, my heart dropped in my chest as I realized it actually saw me. Hunter kept a tight hand on my elbow and that was the only thing that kept me in place as my adrenaline started pumping with the flight instinct. I needed to get away from this alligator before it attacks me and I’m sure that’s some pain I would never won’t to feel. 

“I-It’s an alligator.” I said in shock as Hunter took another step back while repeating the same whistle tone.

“ Sarco .“ Hunter corrected me on the actual term with a chuckle and if I wasn’t nearly about to shit myself, I would of rolled my eyes because it was basically an alligator. 

The Sarco beached as Hunter threw another Raw Meat at it and it snapped it into it’s mouth before heavily chewing on it, and the more I stared it, the more I saw that it was very domesticated and was patiently waiting for Hunter to feed it one piece of Raw Meat at a time, rather than attacking him. 

Hunter offered me a piece of Raw Meat and I hesitantly accepted it before quickly rushing to throw it just as the Sarco’s eyeball rolled to look at me and it quickly snatched the Raw Meat I threw directly at it’s snout, I had gotten afraid that it would charging me for it. Hunter laughed at my reaction as I declined more food for the Sarco from him while he tossed another piece and the Sarco jumped and snatched it mid-air before Hunter did a different toned whistle and the Sarco disappeared into the pond once more. 

“You know how to use a gun?” Hunter asked out the blue as we slowly walked toward his home.

“No, never even touched one before.” I said, stopping as Hunter nodded slowly before grabbing a Assault Rifle that was laid against his back by a string.

I turned toward him as Hunter turned to me to show me the Assault Rifle  that was now in his hands as he pointed at a few things while telling me what they were, his weapon had a Holo-Scope Attachment and it seemed the Hunter was on the better side of survival. I stared at the Assault Rifle in awe as Hunter gave me a few tips on shooting but I was more focused on his enthusiasm than the actual tips. He was like a small child that was telling you about it’s favorite movie, his eyes were lit with excitement as he told me about the Holo-Scope Attachment next, and I didn’t listen to that either. 

“Here, stand right here.” Hunter said suddenly as I tuned in to what he was saying before quickly nodding and doing as he said, what was he up to?

I did as he said and he took up the space behind me with his torso flesh to my back, I could feel his heat as I leaned back against him a little, he then grabbed my left hand first and placed it on the rifle before following to grab my right and do the same. I was shocked that he trusted me to shoot his gun, that he even let me touch the gun because I couldn’t trust myself to do something like that. 

“Shoot it.” He beckoned gently, pointing to the ground a little farther from us.

“I…” I took a heavy breath, I can’t do that, I’m scared.

“Shhh, you can do it.” Hunter said, his face coming to rest beside mine so that we were cheek to cheek before he lifted the gun for me and showed me how to position it while I looked through the scope.

His scent was back, the firewood mixed with soot and berries was intoxicating me once more as I slowly turned my head to look into his blue eyes as he looked back at me with his eyes darkening a little, I heard a man’s eyes do that when their in lust. I blilnked a few times before blushing and sheepishly smiling while turning to shoot the gun, I looked through the Holo-Scope Attachment once more and pulled the trigger. I gasped as pain shot through my right eye and I quickly released the gun to cup my eye from the scope recoil smacking me in the face.

“I should of told you don’t be so close to the scope, the recoil will damage you. Let me see.” I whined in pain as Hunter whirled me around to encase me in his arms. “It’ll be okay.”

I grabbed onto him while releasing another whine, I was in pain but it was more manageable and I definitely wasn’t going to cry before him. I pulled back and looked up at him as he grabbed my cheeks gently and looked at the wound before suddenly leaning forward and gently pecking it. I blushed and decided to make the next move by putting my lips against his, he quickly gave in and wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me taut against his body. 

I wrapped my arms around his neck as we completely forgot about his Assault Rifle , I pulled away as my left wrist vibrated and it immediately left an uncomfortable sensation when it did so. I looked at my wrist to see that there was a Specimen Implant in my left arm, right in the center of my wrist. It blinked red three times and I looked at it in confusion before looking at Hunter as he grabbed my wrist gently and kissed the implant. 

“You took a little damage.” He informed me. “It’ll flash red when you get hurt, it’ll flash purple when you heal.” And on cue, it flashed purple as I healed immediately. “See.”

“Wow.” I said in shock, looking closer at the implant that looked liked very painful but perhaps it wasn’t, I felt no pain whenever I touched it.

Hunter stepped back and grabbed his Assault Rifle off the ground to sling on his back once more as I looked over at him while waiting to see what we would do next, he grabbed my wrist again and inspected my Specimen Implant again before showing me his as well. I reached over and touched his just as he touched mine gently, it seemed like they vibrated together in three quick pulses. I gasped at the sensation as it seemed to catch him off guard as well, I stared at it as both of the Specimen Implants in our wrist glowed a glowing pink, I cocked my head curiously while looking at Hunter to see that he had a distant face. He blinked a few times as I waited for him to tell me what it meant when our implants had synced like that, I believe I had a clue but I wasn’t very sure. 

“What did that mean? When it vibrated with yours and turned pink?” I asked him.

Instead of responding, Hunter just turned away from me and slouched his way into his home without a simple sound or word, I blinked a few times as I noticed that he didn’t seem ready to talk to me about the interaction. I felt a little sad about it, I wanted to learn more from him because he was a very good and committed teacher that obviously liked telling me new things that he knew. I bit my lip while glancing to look at him before suddenly remembering exactly why I came to meet him at the pond. 

I quickly grabbed my Canteen and eerily watched the pond as I slipped the Canteen under the water, I glanced behind me to see where Hunter had disappeared to when the water suddenly splashed. I gasped in horror just as the same Sarco from before beached and it’s giant head landed directly on my lap, I went utterly still as I expected it to attack me soon afterwards. Instead it seemed to lay completely still with it’s eyes drooping. 

My Canteen overfilled but I didn’t care as I reached up with a shaky hand to touch the Sarco hesitantly, I touched the Sarco’s head before quickly recoiling my hand then touching it again a few times. When it seemed safe enough, I laid my hand on the Sarco and left it just as Hunter’s whistle breezed through the air and the Sarco quickly retreated while Hunter gestured for me to follow him inside. 

“It’s getting late, come inside.” He told me and I quickly listened, still in disbelief that his Sarco was being friendly to me. 

“It was laying on me.” I told him in shock and he slowly nodded while seeming to ignore my earlier question, I started to get a bad vibe from him then, he seemed so distant suddenly. “Did I do something wrong?” Maybe I shouldn’t had kissed him… “If so, I apologize.” 

“You didn’t do anything wrong.” Hunter told me, gently squeezing my shoulder in a friendly manner, and I felt like then and there, I was just a friend.

“I shouldn’t had kissed you.” I pushed, feeling guilty because now he was lying about it, he was uncomfortable about something. 

“I know.” He said, as if I had insulted him and he had agreed.

I was speechless as Hunter left me at the doorway and slowly I followed him to the bedroom as he plopped in the bed before rolling his back to me, he was acting so distant since our interaction and wouldn’t tell me what anything meant by it. I thought he would of liked me kissing him but apparently not, but that didn’t make sense because he only came distant after our implants glowed pink in unison… what if it did mean that? We had sex yesterday, what if it meant what I believe it meant? No, it’s probably because we’re emotionally tied to each other but can’t be together, I’m sure that’s what it mean.

Ark: Chapter Five

It was quiet when I stirred, I stretched toward Hunter’s side of the bed but it was empty and I frowned as I slowly sat up while pulling the fur up to cover my breast, Hunter and I had sex again but this time, I saw it as nothing but pure pleasure. I believe if I think of sex that way, the rejection that I know is on the horizon won’t hurt. I listened closely but there wasn’t much sound of a man barreling around, perhaps he left but I was sure that he would be back so I didn’t worry about it. 

Instead, I rose to my feet and dressed back into my dress that Hunter had given me. I exited the bedroom and barely missed a Compy rushing past me, it quickly doubled back and started twirling around my legs in a playful manner. I smiled at it and carefully stepped past as it curiously stared at me before slowly following, I glanced back at it and nearly squealed at the cuteness before leaning down and lightly rubbing it’s little head, to which it called out glee to the contact. 

“Hunter?” I called curiously, rising up and walking to the door to peek outside and see if he was there, but I didn’t see him.

I decided not to get my mind racing too much and assumed that he was busy elsewhere, he would come back, right? I looked at the Compy as it called before rushing toward a wooden pen made of Wooden Railing and it was housing multiple creatures that were hovering in the area. A Dire Bear was nursing a baby of it’s kind and I watched onward in awe at the sight, I walked close enough and checked the Feeding Trough to see that it was slightly empty so I took it upon myself to look around until I spotted tons of Raw Meat in an nearby Preserving Bin by the wooden pen. 

I reached inside the Preserving Bin and grabbed 10X Raw Meat because I couldn’t carry many with my poor weight range, I walked over and filled the Feeding Trough before stepping back and watching as the same Argy from my first day. It was humorous to watch he way it walked as it moved closer to where I was standing to grab a Raw Meat from the Feeding Trough and soon came a Purlovia coming to also eat. 

I followed the first trip with many, many,

many

trips until there was more than enough food to go around before deciding to do something very much more productive, I just had to find what exactly that productive thing would be. I walked into Hunter’s home and started peeking through his main Storage Box until I noticed something, there was 7X Metal Irrigation Pipes , 2X Metal Irrigation Intake Pipes , 1X Metal Tap and lastly, 3X Metal Irrigation Straight Pipes , and I knew exactly what to do with all these items I had discovered. 

I walked to the pond and stuck a Metal irrigation Intake Pipe inside and immediately the flow of water started, I rushed to take a line from the pond to Hunter’s cabin before lastly sticking the Metal Tap on it. How did I know exactly what to do? I wasn’t sure but it had worked and we had water running beside Hunter’s home for all of the free use he could need. I smiled at the success. 

I looked up as I heard flapping wings nearing, I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what direction they were coming from but I moved closer to a random tree as the flapping sound got closer and closer and it wasn’t long before I noticed a Quetzal was slowly lowering into the slight clearing. I wasn’t sure who was mounted on the solid dark brown creature that was the same color from head to tail. The creature paused as something hit the ground and I looked at the Megaloceros that had landed on the ground from the Quetzal’s talon before the Quetzal landed right afterwards.

I watched as Hunter dropped from the Quetzal before lightly whispering appreciation to it, the creature seemed to understand as it nudged him before Hunter softly whistled to it and it started to wander a little ways away to do who knows what. I looked at Hunter as he didn’t notice me, I watched him as he walked to the Megaloceros and worked on rubbing the hairs on it’s back in a coaxing manner while closely paying attention to the way it reacted. It seemed that it was already tamed by him, completely domesticated for whatever use Hunter needed, and that amazed me. 

“You set up the water.” Hunter said, making me gap in shock that he knew I was hiding in the shadows. “Thank you.”

I smiled lightly. “You’re welcome.” I said.

“And you fed the animals… you trying to impress me?” He asked with a raised eyebrow as he walked to his Argy and touched it’s feathers momentarily in thought. 

“I figured they were hungry, I didn’t know you’d be back so soon.” I whispered, walking close as the Compy came back to be playful and I allowed it to playfully nip at me.

“I’m teasing, thank you.” Hunter chuckled as he watched the Compy and I interact, I picked the small creature up as it worked on steady nipping for my fingers, making me giggle as I held it. “He likes you.”

“It’s a he?” I asked, curious to how he knew exactly what gender the little creature was, he simply shrugged.

“I named it Tiny, his old pack had rejected him.” Hunter said, taking a step closer and watching us with an amused expression. “He’s an asshole to me.”

I laughed as the Compy crawled itself up to my shoulder but I quickly grabbed him as he went to jump off, I sat him down and he quickly hurried off to bother the Quetzal by crawling up it’s back, I turned to look at Hunter. I stared at him before turning my head and looking at the new creature that he had brought to the location, it was crunching on some grass that slowly dissolved in it’s mouth before walking to another area to eat. 

I walked to it with my hands up in a surrendering motion, Hunter was quickly at my back and I felt a sense of protection as I slowly lowered my hands before reaching forward and gently touching the creature’s snout, and it quickly caved into my touch. It was definitely tamed and I was amused as it allowed me to lightly tough it’s antlers in awe, this was a new type of creature I didn’t think I’d see, it looked like a gigantic buck.

“You tamed it already.” I said, and it wasn’t a question.

“I wouldn’t want to put in you harms way bringing in a wild animal.” Hunter whispered into my ear as we stood flush against each other.

“I hope you wouldn’t.” I teased, turning to face him as he lightly chuckled.

“Never.” He winked before stepping back and I followed him.

“Hunter.” I called and he turned and looked at me questionably. “Can we have dinner outside tonight?”

   

   

“You’re not serious…”

I smiled down at Hunter as he looked at me with disbelief, I beckoned him to come on as I sat on the roof of his cabin with a pleading expression, he seemed reluctant but followed me up anyway as I laid on my back and looked up at the stars. The night was very starry and it was something I liked to always do back in the old word, wherever that was now.

I admired the sight as Hunter took a seat beside me and started to do the same, obviously caught off guard by the beauty of the night. I smiled lightly at him before looking back up as I spotted a star flying through the sky, I quickly pointed at it so that he could see it with eager. I loved star-gazing all my life and it was something I tried to do as often as possible.

“You okay?” I asked Hunter as he seemed to be uncomfortable.

“Yes, just don’t do this type of stuff.” He explained in honesty, and I was surprised at the fact that he had opened up about his discomfort.

“Thank you,” I told him genuinely, “for stepping out the box for me.”

“Anytime.” He grumbled while glancing around uncomfortably, my appreciation had took him by surprise.

“How long have you been here?” I asked curiously, noticing how Hunter’s home was pretty well placed, well built, and much more things that said he wasn’t inexperienced.

“Five years…” Hunter said distantly, as if it had taken him by shock as well.

“That’s a long time.” I said, glancing over at him before looking back at the stars. “You’ve done well, I’m sure.” Gesturing to his home surroundings.

“It wasn’t easy, I had to start fresh like everyone else.” Hunter informed me as I listened closely, wanting to know what it was like for him.

“What was it like?” I asked curiously, wanting to know.

“It was terrifying, I was in this world that I didn’t know a thing about but most of all, everything wanted to kill me. I was immediately in the Strong Artifact Clan, the one you started in, and I hated that shit so much. Everyone was lazy as hell and didn’t like pulling their own weight, life was so damn miserable there. After three years of being there, I decided I wouldn’t take anymore of their bullshit and left the community. I wasn’t exiled, I just up and left so I could go back whenever I wanted but I didn’t want to go back so I always made sure to keep my distance.” Hunter told me and from the look on his face, he wasn’t done.

“Did you feel alone all those years?” I asked softly, wanting him to continue.

He seemed reluctant to talk about it but he did and I was thankful because I was curious to know. “Yeah, I did.” He admitted.

“You didn’t have anyone to show you love and affection all those years?” I asked in shock, you’d think he would of found someone to cater to him all that time, definitely with him doing such a good job surviving.

“I’m unlovable.” Hunter deadpanned and it seemed he had clamped me out immediately upon saying it.

“That’s not true.” I said in a quick rebuttal, reaching and grabbing onto his hand to comfort him. “Everyone’s loveable, you just have to find someone who is willing to love you.”

“I thought I had someone who loved me, and it turned out to be a stab in the back. I will never love again.” He seemed to promise to himself more than me. “I can’t afford to love again, I’m sorry.”

“Why did our implants turn pink?” I asked instead of responding to his direct sentence.

“Because we mated.” He said through clenched teeth, obviously tired with me asking. “We had touched each other’s implants at the same time and your implant was able to get traces of my DNA from us fucking. It should of never happened.”

“You don’t mean that.” I whispered, feeling a little hurt by what he said but I didn’t want to show it.

“I wish I did.” He sighed, rubbing his forehead before looking back up at the stars. “I’m not used to feeling like this anymore.”

“Feeling like what?” I asked.

“So beautiful tonight…” Hunter whispered, making me smile lightly over at him until I realized he was actually staring at me, but I was sure he was talking about the stars. “Wanted.”

I blushed as his eyes stared at me openly, the way his eyes sparkled in the night was so beautiful and I couldn’t help but stare at them in awe as they also sparkled like the stars. I stared at him as he stared back before he finally made the first move, and I followed suit as he leaned into me and we met in the middle. 

His lips were so gentle against mine as he reached his hand up and grabbed my chin, making me moan at a simple touch and it dawned on me that he suddenly had that affect. So suddenly, a simple touch from him would make my skin burn. That made my mind wonder slightly.

“When you say mated… what do you mean?” I asked against his lips.

“You’re not ever leaving me.” He whispered before pushing his lips against mine again. 

Hunter gently laid me back and we continued to kiss as he pulled himself on top of me, we had to be careful to not fall off the roof as Hunter pulled his shirt above his head and I stared in desire for him. His body was so fantastic and so built, sweat gleamed him from the humid air as I happily let him lift my Silver Coloring dress over my head and toss it aside as he attacked my neck to leave hickies as a sign that I belonged to him. I moved my head to give him better access as he worked on pulling his pants down without removing his face from my neck, I shivered in lust as I felt my wetness come alive. 

I flipped us suddenly as Hunter allowed me to get on top and I took control, I wiggled down and wrapped my mouth around him as he laid his head back while his body only reacted more than earlier, he was harder than brick at this point. I slurped up and down as he groaned and ran his fingers through my wavy hair, grunting around how good it was and how he appreciated me doing it for him. I pulled away as the desire to take him inside me became to strong and I wiped the drool from my lips while quickly straddling him, I was more than ready to have this moment with him. 

I slowly lowered myself the first time so I could work on adjusting as I whimpered at the feeling of stretching my insides to accommodate his size, I slowly lowered myself as Hunter was very patient while gently coaxing me. He whispered to me about how beautiful I was and the look in his eyes told me that he was being completely honest, he truly believed I was the most beautiful thing in the world. I placed my hands on his chest as I slowly rose up and down until I was more comfortable with his size before taking the reins and riding him to my own pleasure.

“Fuck.” Hunter growled, grabbing my hips as I rode him with no shyness. “So amazing.”

It hit me abruptly. “I’m coming!” I cried as he quickly flipped us over and took control to finish me off.

Ark: Chapter Six

Hunter: 

I held Frannie close to me as she snuggled into my side, sound asleep as I couldn’t get what happened out of my head, we had sex nearly every night and each night was better than the last. However, that wasn’t what was weighing heavily on mind, it was the fact that I was falling in love with the stranger that stole my heart the moment I landed eyes on her. 

I never would of believed that she was so open to sex and also experienced, but I wasn’t complaining because she definitely knew how to please me. I gently pecked her forehead as I closed my eyes and relaxed on the roofing of my cabin to get some rest as well. I listened as all the noises became fused and it wasn’t long before I was launched into the darkness I knew so well because I saw nothing but darkness every night I slept. 

Not tonight.

I sucked in a heavy breath of air as I felt like I was stuck in something thick and heavy like glue, I lurched forward… well tried to anyway but I couldn’t as I was stuck in the gunk that had solidified around everything except my mouth, nose, and my right hand. I moved my right hand but it grabbed nothing but air as I opened my eye to see that I could barely make out of anything though the solidified gel around my body. I tried to reach and uncover my eyes and just as I went to, I heard a few blaring alarms as I blink to get a better vision but it was immediately cut off as a few people rushed forward to quickly put me back into the coma I was in before. 

I was jerked awake to the sound of something heavily cracking and I quickly sat up to look around before looking up at the sky to see that it was a blood red, something that had never happened in the five year I’ve been here. 

I looked over to see that Frannie was still resting beside me, sound asleep as I squinted to the sky at the sight of something blinking before going completely black as if a battery had died, but it was in the sky. I was confused but didn’t have the time to do much from the droning sound of wind picking up, I reached and shook Frannie awake as I looked at another block in the red sky die and go completely black. 

It was like a shield was slowly deteriorating before my eyes, I had to be dreaming. I looked over just as I noticed the Compy I tamed named Tiny flying, wait… Compys can’t fly, and soon as Tiny had floated into the air, so did everything else started floating as gravity started to drop. I looked over at Frannie as she watched all this happen before her in confusion, she wasn’t understanding that this was something new to me and that this shouldn’t be happening.

Frannie gasped as the gravity dropped more and she started to rise from the roof, I quickly tried to grab her but she slipped from my grip before I could really grab her. I looked at her in horror as my heart dropped in my chest with worry that she would get hurt once whatever was happening ended. I was waiting for gravity to come back and for her to land hard on the ground, gaining damage in the end. 

Instead, gravity only dropped more as I was soon being lifted into the floor as well and I close enough to Frannie to grab her and that’s exactly what I did. I held her tightly to my chest as our Specimen Implants vibrated and an invisible force put more room between us. I looked at mine to see that it was glowing a very bright red to indicate something was wrong, I looked over at Frannie in concern just as a drop of water from the pond slipped along her cheek and she was quickly encased by her implant. 

Mine soon did the same as I tried to reach for her and get her close to me once more, I was worried about her safety because I had fallen so quickly for her. I hit the encasing that surrounded me but it did naught as I thought of what to do. I checked to see if I had any weapons but I had nothing as I watched Frannie slowly rise higher right before me and there was nothing I could do to help her.

I felt like I had let her down that fast as she put her hand on the material circling her and yelled for me, her eyes filled with fear and tears as I watched in disdain that I couldn’t help her while she continued to rise up until she had disappeared into the air like a balloon. I wanted to mope about it but I had fear as well because I was rising like a balloon also, something was happening and I wasn’t sure what. 

I had finally found love, and it had been taken away from me in a balloon device. You heard correctly, I had found myself falling for Frannie and there was no denying that she was such a beautiful, hard woman that was capable of doing great things under the right conditions. 

I’ll find you, beautiful, I promise.

I closed my eyes as I broke the red clouds, not sure what was ahead of me as I also noticed many other red balloons rising from around the entire island, not just where Frannie and I were staying. This was happening all over, what exactly was happening?
