Humans are the Alien Creatures

Gaia grabs her arm becoming frightened by his quick moments. Gaia cried. '' Gaia nooo wah nts hurts geen.''

She wasn't ready for more mating and believed that was his thought when he grabbed her. Yet his smile gave little relief as he assured her that he wasn't hurt.

The unfamiliar pains were making Gaia walked funny. Gaia still followed Blue into the enclosure and found the pool. Gaia was leary of the water past what covered her feet. When Blue pointed to her caked areas she panicked and kept rubbing the marks. Seeing the marks come off was confusing as Gaia tried to find the wound.

''Nat ter all?'' Gaia frowned, she didn't understand how he could say those words. ''Ba lou ize doos a geen wif Gaia?"

It wasn't an invitation it was a question.Gaia wanted to know if Blue would force her again cause she didn't want to go through that pain without cause.

Gaia watched Blue wash himself. Gaia found a sponge and a soapy liquid so she scooted to knee deep water and scrubbed her legs and thighs of the dried blood. Gaia offered the sponge to Blue then motions him to shallower water. Gaia was willing to bathe his back like she did the young ones of her tribe.
 
Blue Eyes and Gaia would never know it, of course, but for the rest of the day monitors beyond the railing high above them would play a looped recording would of the gentle and sometime water playful encounter between the alien animals. It would only add to the enjoyment of the Yuza visitors coming to the International Zoo of Alien Life.

Blue was surprised with Gaia, of course. After losing her purity to him in such a frightening and painful way, she then bathed him with a soft touch that he'd only ever experienced from his own mother. At one point, as he stood in the pool and Gaia ran the sponge about his buttocks and groin, her expression shifted toward fear at the sight of his penis again growing, but he did his best to assure her by saying, "No breeding. No breeding today. This just happens. Natural."

He took over the bathing duties, which again initially seemed to concern her. He had to remind himself that she'd never been touched this way by a male, particularly by a male she didn't truly know. Cleaning Gaia was a bit more difficult, however. He'd never seen waist long hair on a woman before. The women of the jungle kept their hair cut close to the scalp, just as the men did. The myriad of creatures, small and large, that would tried to hide on the scalp made long hair impractical, and of course there would have been the constant hassle with twigs and other things lodging in the length.

When he'd first seen Gaia, he's been amazed at the golden flow descending from her head, but now -- as he tried to clean from it the straw and blood somehow had gotten even there -- he was becoming frustrated and wished he had a sharp knife to cut it all off. It wasn't until Gaia showed him how to use the soap to make it slippery that he found himself entranced by the long strands.

Soon enough, he had control of it and, sitting on a rock behind her, he found himself braiding it skillfully as they did in the jungle to create rope from the Green Tree bark fibers.

Once he'd had his fun with her hair, he threw it over her shoulder to her front, urged her to her feet, and cleaned her back with the sponge. The simple, squishy tool that had once been a living ocean animal was unfamiliar to Blue, and he found almost a child's delight with wetting it, pouring onto it more of the soap -- the one thing with which he was familiar -- and squeezing it to create an endless supply of bubbles upon her body and atop the pool of water.

By the time they would finish their baths, the middle pool, lower pool, and much of the wet land at the railing wall's base would be covered by a layer of suds that the water filtration system would spend the entire day removing.

And all that time that Blue was creating that layer of bubbles, he was also watching Gaia's reactions to his touch upon her body. When he'd finished with her hair and begun gently scrubbing her back, she'd stood rigid with little reaction to his hands and the sponge upon her. But when he turned her to face him, things changed, which -- of course -- didn't surprise him in the least.

Blue had spent time with the Fun Ones back in the jungle village, between the times when there was a Breeder to be serviced by him. He knew that, as with him, there were places on the body that the touch of another would cause incredible pleasure and stir breeding desires. That was natural, of course, and that was the reason for the Fun Ones, too.

As he cleaned her, beginning at her neck and moving downward, he saw the reaction as his hands ran the sponge over her breasts. Her nipples stiffened and grew; her skin was repeatedly covered by Shiver Bumps; and her chest began to swell at a less normal and steady pace, particularly when he ran the soft tool over those pert nipples.

He left them and, urging her to sit on the rocks above the water line, began cleaning her belly and sides, then her legs and her knees. He pulled her long, athletic legs out to him and ran the sponge around and between her toes. She giggled and twitched at his accidental tickling, which only made him grasp one ankle after another and hold it tightly as he accidentally tickled her further on each foot.

When he was done with every part of her but that part, he was standing in thigh high water before her. He moved closer, until his thighs pressed against her knees. His penis, tamed by the comfortable but cool water, began to grow once more as he envisioned touching her between the thighs which, so far, she'd managed to keep closed to him.

Blue dropped to his knees upon the rocks to hide his growing erection, then -- with the sponge and the bottle of soap in his hands, looked toward that place where he'd hurt her so hours earlier -- and, without realizing it, had caused her such pleasure -- and said gently, "Gaia, I will not hurt you today. No breeding today. I want to clean you only. Yes?"

He laid his hands upon her knees and urged them apart, letting Gaia decide whether or not he helped with that portion of her bathe.

Which ever way this went, by the time they were done, the railing above and behind him would quickly begin to fill with the second days crowd of intrigued Yuza visitors.
 
Gaia found Blue's washing skills unusual males usually were bathed by wives. With Blue washing her it was making Gaia think they were mates and fretted not having the ceremony like her brothers got.

Yet every time Blue touched her, the belly felt fluttery, her breathing was labored, and her heart quickened. On the outside bumps appears on her arms and neck. Her breasts ache and nipples harden along with that wetness that builds between her legs.

Gaia touched his nipples, they did not feel like hers did. Plus he did not have a slit the wetness gathers. This puzzles her even more as her curiosity grows.

''Ba Lou ize make Gaia fats.'' Once more her eyes stare into his as he washes her front side.

When he got to her feet Gaia giggled and squealed from his tickling. It was one thing all children suffered from and Gaia had forgotten this delight during her capture.

Gaia gulped but stepped her legs apart. That scent was back and made her twitch her thigh. Gaia's cheeks burn when his hand rubbed her thigh.''Gaia leeks.''

Gaia quickly becomes eembarrassed as that liquid comes out and dribbles over his hand on the thigh.
 
''Ba Lou ize make Gaia fats."

Blue stared up at her for a moment, trying to make sense of her words. Initially, he failed and instead went back to washing her. Then suddenly, he understood. He laid an open hand upon her belly, directly over her navel, and said, "Baby. Make Gaia fat with a baby, yes."

He urged her back onto the smooth stone that, unbeknownst to him, had been specifically placed there by the Keepers as a working surface for the alien creatures, to do with as they pleased. After Gaia parted her thighs for him, he slowly and respectfully began cleaning her more private areas. And again, her pheromones began to pump up Blue's desire to be inside of her.

As he cleaned her knees and thighs, he continued to urge her legs farther and farther apart until both her brown folds and the pink folds they hid were fully exposed to him. He rubbed the sponge against the back side of her thighs, then the lower rounds of her buttocks. He didn't need to do this, of course: he'd cleaned them when she'd been standing and he was behind her.

But her scent was driving him crazy, and while he knew that she was probably too sore to fuck yet again, he was having the hardest time pulling himself away from that inviting pussy. Below the water of the pool, he was rock solid again, his cock twitching with anticipation.

Over the sound of the waterfall behind Gaia, Blue had forgotten that the two of them were far from alone until he saw her glance upwards and behind him. He had been about to pull her down into the water and enter her, but instead looked over his shoulder. The railing was packed again, the Yuza shoulder to shoulder, smiling and pointing and generally loving the new animal exhibit.

Blue turned back to Gaia, looking over her feminine features. Sexual interaction back in the jungle had been a very public event. Breeding as assigned by the village's Matriarch had been done in a ceremonial hut with five people present: the male, the female, the female's parents, and the Matriarch. Fucking -- done between horny males and the females known as the Fun Ones -- was often a spontaneous act, conducted here, there, and everywhere; and -- because Fucking wasn't always restricted to just one male and one female -- it often occurred within the communal sleeping huts, where there might be a handful of people engaged, a handful watching with glee, and another handful simply present, sleeping, cooking, sewing, or whatever.

And yet, with as public as his sexual history was, Blue found himself hesitant to breed or simply fuck Gaia in front of these aliens. It reminded him of being back at the jungle village watching the stock animals breed, except in that case, the stock animals hadn't had a relatively similar intellect and awareness as Blue and his fellow humans.

He hung his head low for a moment, then handed the sponge to Gaia. "You finish ... Gaia finish."

He rose out of the pool, his erection already beginning to fade, and returned to the cave to find the clothes he'd sewn during his months in the back cage. Once dressed, he returned to the quartered lion-creature with the sharp cutting stone and began cutting long, thin slices of meat, which he hung over the horizontal arms of the drying rack they'd built the day before next to the fire.

It was difficult, but Blue forced himself not to look at Gaia for longer than just a flash. Every time he did, his cock twitched in an attempt to convince him to go to her.

It was going to be a very long day...
 
Gaia couldn't understand why Blue was acting different. She touched his face softly and parted her lips to speak but nothing came out but the scent of need. Gaia stared after him as she held the sponge while growling low being spied upon again.

In a fit of anger Gaia threw a sharp stone up at the visitors. Thankfully the barrier protected the watching crowds but the dropping stone broke the lens on one of the indoor cameras.

Gaia returned and began working on the skin, she took another stone and scrapped the membrane off the fur. Gaia used the same stone to poke holes around the edges to tie it to a frame and stretch it. Gaia worked in silence and ripped her loincloth to make the skin more pliable.

Gaia began to forage for other foods like her tribe did. Gaia needed purpose and tried ignoring the crowds pointing at her bare skin or the buzz of the video showing the mating the human encounter of races.

It was getting dark and Gaia hadn't returned from the wooden path. There was few tracks and even the keepers were getting concerned when Gaia wasn't appearing on any monitor.

What the keepers didn't know was Gaia climbed a tree and the foliage hid her from view being above the camera's eye.
 
Over the course of the late afternoon, Blue had stopped intentionally peeking about for Gaia and only noticed he when her movement caught his eye. The old saying Out of sight, out of mind began to play its part as he returned to the cave to first remove and burn the section of straw soiled by the fluids of the pair's sexual encounter, then organize a few of the artifacts that the Keepers had placed in the enclosure just to see if the aliens would find a use for them.

Once the stink of burning blood had cleared from his nostrils, Blue hung several strips of already drying meat over the fire to sear them. He'd found some of the vegetables, roots, and berries Gaia had gathered and picked through them, pulling aside the ones with which he was familiar. He didn't know if the others were familiar to Gaia or just something she was curious about, but he would ask her before they ate them.

One, a bright red berry with seeds on the outside left him conflicted. His human instinct told him that red was to be considered suspicious. It was often a sign of poison here on Yuza, just as it had been back on Earth. He touched the strawberry-like berry to his tongue, then nibbled just a bit of it. It was delicious, but then again that didn't particularly mean it was safe. He set it aside, knowing that if his stomach didn't complain over the next few minutes, the berry was probably safe.

Wondering whether or not Gaia already knew about the berry was what prompted him to begin actively looking for her. It hadn't occurred to him until now that she'd been missing for quite a while. His first thought was that she was that she was simply out of view, and he began a casual walk about the huge cage to look for her.

When he couldn't find her, his second thought made him panic. Blue had, possibly, impregnated her, as the Keepers likely wanted. Had they already taken her away, to have her baby away from him since his contribution had already been made? He rushed around the exhibit and, being from the jungle, of course, began searching up high as well.

It took a while, but he eventually located her hidden in the crotch of the huge tree's equally huge lower limbs. It was a perfect place to hide out, out of sight of the railing and -- unbeknownst to Blue -- out of view of the camera's which he wasn't aware spied upon them day in, day out.

"Come down," he called up, getting no response from the female. He moved to another location until he could see her better, calling, "What are you doing? Come down. Eat."

When she refused to come down, Blue began climbing instead. He sat on his haunches just within arms reach and stared at her for a moment. It didn't take a genius to understand that she was hiding from the Yuza crowd which, Blue had noticed, hadn't lessened in size all day.

"Are you scared?" he asked, hoping she understood the word. He looked through the branches at the alien onlookers, then back to Gaia. "They will not hurt us. They just watch. We are like..."

He didn't know how he wanted to describe what he an Gaia were to the Yuza, so the words he used were, "Make believe."

A pair of the transport survivors who had crashed with Blue Eye's ancestors had been amateur actors, and during those first years on Yuza III, they had developed a tradition of putting on plays for the other survivors to make them forget the hardships of their new lives for just a few hours most nights. Make believe had been used by someone to describe what a play was, and the words had stuck.

"We must put on the Make Believe for them," Blue told Gaia, moving a bit closer, "and they will laugh and fun and joy ... and go away happy ... and we will be happy and let alone. Understand?"

He slipped on the limb and slid toward the trunk until he his legs were intertwined with Gaia's own. He feared falling, and his exclamation revealed that, just before he began laughing. Despite having come from the jungle, Blue had never been much for climbing trees. He'd fallen from one as a child and injured his spine such that he lived with chronic pain when the temperature and humidity changed radically.

"Go down?" he asked, pointing to the ground. His eyes fell to Gaia's body which, because of her town clothing and current stance, was very much revealed to him. He felt his cock growing again, and glancing down realized that his erection had escaped the confines of the loin cloth and was pointing excitedly in Gaia's direction. He smiled to her as he laid a hand upon her inner thigh and asked, "Blue Eyes tries to make Gaia fat with baby again...?"
 
Gaia was hiding in the tree and started weaving the leaves into little baskets. She pulls sticks down and begins to bend them into bow. Most of them cracked and were tossed to the ground but one worked out and she tied the baskets to the ends.

After bit she was eating some red berries that her mother would make juice from. Wyne.. sweet berry wyne. Gaia missed her family and big meals.

Gaia wondered who looks after the small ones now in her tribe. She touches her belly softly. Did Blue Eyes put a small one in her belly? Gaia thought about Blue Eyes and how much he was like her father, Wynn.

It was that strange thing that dangles between his legs that was what puzzles her most. What makes it go from soft to firm? Why didn't she have one?

Gaia heard a noise and started to climb higher until she caught his scent. Was Blue Eyes looking for her? Gaia heard him call to her, beckoning to come to him.

Gaia sat down as he climbed up. ''Gaia scared.''

Honestly Gaia didn't want to be pointed at or hear the strange words of the watchers. Gaia noticed Blue Eyes was up in the tree with her.

''Mack ba leave?'' Gaia repeated. Gaia never heard such words before but Blue Eyes was using it like a good word from an elder telling stories of the before ones.

Blue Eyes liked to scare the daylights out of her when he fell. Gaia jumped and grabbed him with her legs while holding on tight. ''Ba lou ize safe wif Gaia opp hare.''

Still he points down. Gaia nods as she touches his cheek. Gaia caught his request ''hare er ca v?''

Gaia followed Blue out of the tree. When they reached the ground Gaia touched his erection then looks up into his eyes. ''Ba lou ize mack Gaia heez.''
 
Blue's erection twitched at Gaia's touch, and he smiled at the realization that she was asking if she was to his mate. "Yes. Gaia ... you ... you will be my mine ... my mate."

He took her by the hand and led her to the cave, intent on stripping away their clothes and fucking like the animals that the Yuza considered them. Then he caught Gaia glancing off toward the railing and the visitors who were hoping for something exciting to happen before IZAL closed for the day.

He grimaced at the thought of having to wait until dark to have the female. No, he wasn't going to do that. He glanced around the enclosure for a more private location, even though he knew there wasn't one: the entire exhibit had been designed to give the zoo guests full view of the alien creatures.

Blue looked back up to the trees, then chuckled at the thought of trying to fuck Gaia while straddling one of the thick branches. He looked into her golden eyes and -- despite her not knowing the thought bouncing about inside his skull -- said about the potential for arboreal sex, "That not happen."

He looked back to the crowd which had gotten thicker and more excited in just the last minute, then turned and led Gaia back to the pool in which they'd bathed earlier. As the reached it, he said to her, "We make believe for the Yuza here ... in the water. Give them make believe. They will be happy. They will leave us alone. Gaia trust Blue Eyes, yes?"

He didn't wait for her answer but instead reached out to begin untying the bows holding her scanty clothes to her shapely body...
 
Gaia followed Blue Eyes faithfully still leary of the watchers overhead. Gaia went with Blue to the pool and frowned. She didn't feel dirty and Blue didn't look dirty or smell. Still she went where he led.

When the clothes came off, Gaia surprises Blue with a kiss on the lips. Gaia was full of new twists since she understood her role in their captive life. The other factor was Gaia thought how Blue mated with her was how it was always done. She moved in the position from last night and opened her legs for mating. Gaia held still waiting for Blue Eyes to rest upon her back. She has much to learn.

One of the keepers reported the female is the most violent creature when unsupervised. T here was the matter of the broken recording device and the Head Keeper would be keeping an eye on her adapting habits now that she is breeding.
 
Blue flinched -- just a bit is all -- when Gaia kissed him on the lips. Kissing was something in which he'd only engaged with the Fun Ones, not the Breeders. Breeding was less ... personal. Get it in, get it on, get it off, get it out was the crude way one of Blue's male friends had described breeding to him. The friend had added with a lascivious smirk, "Save all that other stuff for the Fun Ones, and they'll save it for you, too."

So when Gaia kissed him, Blue hadn't been expecting it. He wasn't sure how to react to it. He'd spent much of the day wondering what their relationship was supposed to be. He'd assumed that the Keepers had put them together to be breeders, but what if they hadn't been. Were they supposed to mate and produce a baby, or were they only to be one another's Fun One?

Hell, Blue didn't even know whether Gaia was fertile. She may have only been put into this enclosure with him to give the Yuza visitors something to watch. As a pubescent boy, Blue had enjoyed watching the Fun Ones in his sleeping hut fuck. It always hardened his penis so that he could make it spurt. Hell, even watching sex between the stock animals that the jungle village had domesticated caused the young Blue Eyes to get hard.

Would the Yuza enjoy watching the Humans fuck? Despite being from worlds so far apart, the two species weren't really that different from one another. Two arms, two legs, one head. Blue had never seen a Yuza before he was captured, and of course he'd never seen one with its sexual areas exposed. But he'd been told by his Elders that eye witness accounts of the Yuza revealed they had a similar sexual organ arrangement as the humans: the males had a penis, though no external balls, and the females had breasts and a vagina, though the latter was placed higher in their groin, presumably allowing for sex only from the front.

Blue had even heard that the two species had bred with one another -- or maybe just fucked -- but those were stories told between pubescent boys whispering around the late night camp fires. Some things between boys never changed, even if you removed them from one planet and dropped them onto another.

As Gaia turned her back to Blue and present herself to him for breeding, the thought sex from the front returned to him. He grasped her by the hips, turned her back to face him, then parted her thighs and pulled her into his lap. "We do it this way today."

As he reached under the surface of the water and searched for her opening, he leaned it to kiss her softly on the lips, then again a bit more passionately. He saw her reaction to his fingers finding her clitoris and he smiled. As he began toying with it -- something in which he'd been carefully instructed by one of the Screamers back in the village -- he whispered, "Like?"

Blue wanted to be inside Gaia now, to stroke himself to satisfaction, but he liked the way she reacted to his touch and wanted to watch her enjoy her own pleasure instead. He hadn't been paying any attention to her reactions the night before when he'd taken her Purity: he'd only been concerned with spurting inside her. This time was going to be about her first.

He half glanced toward the railing as Gaia's reactions began to become more obvious. He whispered to her, "Make believe. Make us happy to make them happy, yes?"
 
The Head Keeper was watching the feed. He was aware the male was more intelligent . Perhaps it could be taught more skills as well as bring the breeding to more efficient production. If they could be taught... the Head Keeper would allow them to keep one of her young per clutch.


Gaia looked startled by facing Blue E yes. The kissing was making that fire feeling in side. It was when he touched the clit, she sprays warm liquid on his probing fingers..

"Thiss weigh." Gaia whimpered as her pussy pushes to his man root. Her body moving on instinct.. When Blue enters it is a tight feeling but after a few shoves it feels good and Gaia relaxes.

Gaia likes this new position and finds herself moving to counter the fire. Gaia rises when Blue pulls back and drops as he pushes in. It took some time before Gaia spasms. Her body rubbing his frantically in her dance of wanton lust. When she came the third time, Gaia bit his shoulder while flashing stars burst in her mind, the body quivering as her juices coat Blue's cock.
 
Unlike Gaia, Blue had had many sex partners, both for breeding and for simple pleasure. And while some of the Fun Ones had truly been good at pleasing the tribe's males, Blue was enjoying being inside Gaia more than he'd ever enjoyed being inside any female.

The young, inexperienced female was incredibly tight but flowing so freely that Blue had no trouble plunging into her again and again. He reached around to her buttocks, grasping the firm cheeks tightly as he rammed into her, pulled back, then rammed again.

He felt the quivering of her body as she orgasmed the first time, smiling with pride at knowing that he was pleasing her as much as she was him. He slowed his stokes into her for only a moment as he reveled in her euphoria, then once the ecstasy began to wane, started again with the same fierce passion.

Blue erupted inside Gaia just as she came a second time, his groan and her cries delighting the Yuza crowd which was now four deep at the railing. He pressed his face into Gaia's neck as the pleasure rampaged through him. Blue could have quit here, of course, but before he'd fully come down from his heavenly crowd, Gaia was already rocking in his lap. He strengthened his grip on her cheeks again and drove them each to yet another orgasm before exhaustion caught up with him and he knew he was done for now.

Blue grasped his hands around Gaia's torso, holding her so tightly to him that after a while he wondered whether he was inhibiting her breathing. He'd never felt so incredible before and couldn't believe that his inexperienced female could pleasure him so thoroughly. He pulled his face back, studied her for a moment, then kissed her passionately, as one of the Fun Ones had taught him so long ago.

He had no idea how long they'd sat there before his penis finally went so limp that it popped out of her warm pussy into the sun-warmed water of the pool. He shivered, suddenly aware of the water's slightly chilled temperature. He was also suddenly aware of the darkness in the sky.

Blue looked to the railing and found only a handful of people, and even they were being hurried away by Keepers, or at least by Yuza that wore a similar uniform. He kissed Gaia again, saying, "We need to sleep."

His legs were nearly asleep after having sat in the awkward position for so long, but he managed to stand and get them both out of the pool. Blue swept Gaia easily into his arms and carried her to the bed, which he had fluffed up with a bit of new straw that had been added to the exhibit earlier in the day.

As he laid her down and pulled the fur over them, he kissed her again, smiled broadly, and -- doubting that she would understand him -- said, "The Fun Ones would be shamed by you."
 
Gaia nodded when Blue Eyes mentioned sleep. ''Gaia tye rred.''

She stayed in his arms through the night but when dawn came she went back to the tree and collected her stick and baskets. By the time she returned to the dwelling her baskets were full of nuts and berries. Foods she could work with to make bigger meals with.

Gaia noticed the cooked meats and ate a very small portion. This was common among her tribe. Another thing she did was tear the side open and yank out the stomach. She moved down wind to empty the contents and acids before taking two greasy leaves to scrub out the inside. Gaia knew this would make a good water skin once it was properly cleaned out.

One of the keepers watched from the railing as she worked. He made his report when she took the bubble to the water and filled it a few times before taking it back to the male. This was something to report
 
In the absence of Gaia's warmth Blue awoke and searched for her. He followed her tracks to the tree she hide in the day before. Just knowing she was up there put him at ease. He reached out and touched the bark of the tree as if he were caressing her cheek. The thought of scarring the tree to mark the days came to his mind, he would say something to her about that later, now he felt a desire to hunt.

He made his way back to the cave and gathered his weapons then climbed up to face the throng of Yuza watching him. He raised his bow and knife above his head and loudly called out to them. " give me something to hunt!" A young Yuza flinched and hid himself behind his elder, his father, Blue guessed. The father and he locked eyes and Blue stared with wild intensity until the Yuza man swallows nervously. Blue sniffed, turning away, pacing, eager for a hunt. It was some small victory knowing that though this race was far superior to him at least one amongst them still feared him even from behind a protective wall.

Eventually a gate opened and what looked like an unbelievably large grub crawled through. It must have been five feet long, three feet tall and just as thick. Then it rose up, revealing a black, skull like face, two long arms ending in scythe like blades and a writhing mass of tentacles jutting from its hind quarters.

The sight of it put Blue instantly on edge, it was so horrific and alien to him. Spotting him the thing rushed Blue, it's arms wide as if it were going to embrace him. Out of pure instinct Blue dropped to one knee, tucked and rolled to the side, slashing at the things fleshy looking back, opening a pulpy wound.

The thing hissed and turned, catching Blues leg with one of its slimy black tentacles. Slashing his knife and swinging his bow like a club, he kept the nightmare creature at arms length for the moment, but for the tentacle creeping up his ankle to his calf and tightening like a boa constrictor.

It rose up over him, casting a deadly shadow over his face, both its sickle arms raised, ready to plunge not his chest. At the last second Blue dropped his knife and gasped his bow with both hands and used it to deflect the blow. It splintered his bow, but it was enough to divert the beasts blades from his chest. For a moment they locked eyes, the creature making a rattling sound in its throat as its drool dripping onto Blues cheek. Then it tried to rise but it's long claws were stuck in the ground.

It tugged again as Blue drew two arrows from his quiver and twirled them points up. Then it began thrashing wildly as he sunk them deep into the beasts black eyes.

Then it went still, resting it's weight fully upon Blues chest, letting out its death rattle next to his ear.

Some time later, determined to extract something useful from this kill, severed its arms, Sr
Tripping them down to the bone and burned the rest to spare Gaia the sight of the thing. Before she returned Blue had found a very unique aspect to the creatures arm bones and claws. Normally they would only bend inward so that the tip of the claw would rest against the elbow joint, but if he forced it open past an ell shape it would snap up into the shape of a sword and lock there until he drew back on a small bone. It was like a natural switch blade. Did his keepers know of this? He wondered. They must, they sent it in to kill him...
 
Gaia was at the waterfalls filling the water skin and checking the belly for leaks or weak spots. The water stayed inside and waiting a few moments before taking a drink. Gaia smiled as the water was cool and gave no foul smell or taste..

Gaia went back to the red berry spot looking for more of them. What she found was an odd creature eating the fruit and plants. Since she didn't know the nature of the beast she instinctively avoided contact. Gaia climbed into a safe tree and watched it for some time. After an hour it trotted off to the waterhole, Gaia climbed down and examined the remaining plants. That beast tore them out of the ground. Gaia picked up six plants and dirt putting them in her basket. Gaia remembers seeing Jeda do this so it was closer to the tribe and within safety.

Gaia heard a strange scream and ducked. It was a small keeper and it was pointing at her. Gaia growled deep in her throat but remembers that Blue Eyes said they always watched. Gaia thought a moment and discovered just as she watched the beast to be safe from harm the keepers did too.

Gaia went back to the tree she hid in and gathered more of of the long leaves to make bigger baskets. It was getting late and Gaia had gathered as much as she could carry in her makeshift sling. Returning to the cave Gaia notices Blue Eyes is gone and his bow too.

This didn't bother her as many times the protectors would hunt. Instead she worked on the bigger basket and added sticks to keep the oval shape. When she ran out of leaves the work was moved out of the way and she was sorting the smaller baskets putting something in each one. But the one with greasy leaves had a lid and was placed by the basket so it wouldn't be mistaken for food.
 
Blue returned with his odd looking switch blade swords and broken bow. His knife and arrows in the quiver on his back. They had plenty of meat from the lions he had killed but he would have preferred to hunt an animal with a skin they could use to stay warm at night or a bird that they could strip the feathers from to soften their bed. Still, the arms he had taken would give him the edge in future hunts. It confused him why the keepers would send such a deadly, useless monster in for him to hunt though. Trying to kill him now made no sense if they were trying to have Gaia and him breed for them.

Gaia was a welcome sight, sitting amongst a number of hand woven baskets. She aroused him of course, but more than that he felt the urge to draw her into his arms and simply hold her. He quietly put his weapons aside and knelt on his knees in front of her, reaching out to caress her cheek. "You are beautiful, Gaia. I'm glad you are here with me."

Feeling vulnerable, Blue withdrew his hand from her cheek and picked up one of the baskets she had made. He was impressed by how sturdy they were. "You have been very busy today Gaia." He said with a smile. "There is almost more here than the two of us can eat, I think."
 
Gaia heard him come in and smiles up at him. "Gaia sss .aw bad. No ga nar."

It was common to tell protector of new creatures so they were aware of possible threats. Gaia nuzzled his hand hoping it helps as most of his words were strange.

While he admired her baskets Gaia held up the water skin. ".ba lou izes."

It didn't have the fancy knotted holder that she had made before but it would be helpful. Gaia shows Blue Eyes each basket with food. Berries, nuts, roots, grains, and dried meat. Next she showed one with bark and leaves. These went with water to drink and heal. And the last finished basket had tree fruit.
 
When Gaia said she had seen something, Blue's blood ran cold for a moment. Was the nightmare beast not what he was sent to hunt? Was there something else the keepers had sent? If so, then who sent in the horror?

"gaia, show me what you saw?" He asked, pressing his knife into her hand so that she could carve a crude drawing into the dirt.

Blue Eyes accepted the water skin from her and took a deep drink, quenching one of his thirsts. "Thank you, much thirst, better now." He said, carefully pronouncing each word in the hope she would understand. Each basket she showed him, he took a sample from with a grunt of hunger until his mouth was so full that his cheeks puffed out slightly as he chewed, crossing his eyes for humorous effect. "Mmmh, food good." he grunted, his mouth still half full. You spoil me. I'll get fat." He said with chuckle as he finished his mouth full.

Looking through the fruit, he selected i a ripe, red morsel of fruit and offered it to her with his fingers. "You eat?" He asked.

He didn't have as much to show her for his day, but he stood and showed her how his new weapons worked.

"these for protection and hunting." he explained, snapping the blade open with a flick of his wrist. "broke bow for them..."


"You weave grip for them?" He asked, taking a hand full of straw and pretended to lace the strands around the round arm bone.
 
The Head Supervisor was furious when he called The Head Keeper demanding to know who released a Velgain 6 Carnivorous beetle into the human enclosure.and the culprit was going to be airlock ejected.

The Keeper assures his boss that the answer would be on his desk by days end.

Viewing vid logs. He discovered an egg fell in the filtration system and the creature escaped when the Rylexian boar was transferred for human male hunting pleasure. It was the closest beast that resembles an Earth feral pig. No one was guilty of tampering and the report was dispatched an hour later.

Still it was good the male was carrying weapons and the female wasn't effected by either creature. Still it reminded him to schedule the female's pregnancy exam in two days.

Gaia took the knife and began drawing the image of the beast. It was big... had tusks.. short legs..had a whip like tail...had no fur.. and quills running along its back. Gaia took a strawberry and put the berry at the mouth. "Ated"

Gaia laughed at Blue Eyes as his cheeks bulged . ".ga rain vol."
It was a bothersome creature appearing at harvest time and eating its weight in grain two weeks straight. However easily tamed by holding out wheat often was in the cooking pot by the next night..

Gaia rose from her work and stroked the broken part of the bow. It could be fixed but she didn't have the pods of glue. She went over to the large basket and looked over to her collection of sticks hoping to find one that could make a new bow for Blue Eyes.

Gaia didn't like these knives. They were too long for her grip and cumbersome to carry. She watched Blue put leaves around these knives
 
What no one knew, not even the keepers was that an outside source had placed the egg specifically so it would fall into the filtration system leading to Blue Eyes enclosure. It was a test by members of the resistance to see if they could get anything into the enclosure. Now that they knew they could they would wait for the Yuza's guard to be down and once it was they would send Blue Eyes a real weapon. A communicator hidden inside one of the keepers stock animals. It would take time of course, but they would get one to him eventually.

Gaia's drawing of what looked like a boar thrilled Blue, there were few things tastier than boar meat and with a little skill it's bones tusks and even its quills might even be useful. "Thank you Gaia, Ba Lou Ize hunt" he placed his hand on the drawing. "Many uses."

Blue was happy that he could make Gaia laugh by being silly. "Ba Lou Ize look like grain vol?" He asked, crossing his eyes and puffing out his cheeks again.

Blue decided that the language gap between them was going to be a problem so once had hidden his blades under a pile of leaves he went to her. "Gaia, learn with Ba Lou Ize?"
 
Gaia gave Blue Eyes a concerned scowl when he put his hand on the drawing. "No....No geets ated!"

She looked like a child in the verge of a temper tantrum. Blue Eyes was in hot water for his actions.

When he puffed his cheeks she laughs again. Problem resolved at least for now.

Gaia looked at Blue Eyes "larn?"

Gaia learned everything a female knows from her mother and brother's wives. What could Blue Eyes want her to learn? Unless it was something of his tribe which perplexed her again.
 
Blue pondered how to teach her more words in a way that wouldn't be frustrating or dull. "Touch" he said, opening his hand, Palm up. "Give name. Ba Lou Ize show Gaia." With that he reached out and touched her hair. "Hair. Red. Short." Describing it to her in three simple words. "Gaias turn" he stated, taking her hand and opening it gently, Palm toward him. "Touch and name." He urged, curious to know what she might touch first and what things might be called in her dialect.

Gaia watched him and quickly caught on to what he was doing. He was teaching her like her tribe would teach young ones to avoid dangers.

Gaia touches his arm. "Stong"
Next his eyes and to the sky ".ba lou"
She touches his groin "ma kes faat wif ba bee"
Touching clothes. "Firz"
Touches bed. "Ni pil "
 
Just her touch on his arm was enough to arouse him so when she touched his groin she found him ready. "No, nipple here." He corrected, placing his hand firmly over her breast. "Feed babies, but Ba Lou Ize like them too." He drew her up in his arms, holding her back firmly against his front and talked softly in her ear. "Want to make a baby?" He asked, his breath hot against her neck.
 
"Uh?" Looking at where he put his hand.. "Gaia oo dar."

Now she wonders what he is wanting. She looks at the place they figure sleep.. it is like the night pile.. Gaia sits his hand on the sleeping place. "Ba Lou izes.. wat dis.?"

Gaia didn't know what to think of this holding. Maybe it was something mates do. Blue Eyes had young ones and had told her she put his 'fun ones' to shame.

Gaia giggles as his breath tickles. Gaia felt his man root stiffen and poke. "Ba lou izes mack rut.?"

After he spoke Gaia went forward, kneeling and spread ready to be mated.
