~Mysterious Beast~

New Job

In this day and age almost all creatures have been wiped to the brink of extinction. As a result the once wild creatures were tamed and were put into breeding programs to elongate the species life. During that time almost all the creatures once thought to be myths turned into fact. They were uncovered once all the other creatures were put into captivity and put into captivity themselves.

A new animal was caught in the Rocky Mountains. It was one with hair as blond as wheat with a young one, who was a lighter blond. Its hair was long, covering its entire body in long shaggy hair. The creature was a little taller than a normal sized horse. Its top canine teeth looked like it belonged to a saber tooth tiger. The front paws were the size of a human head with sharp claws with an extra one where the bend of its front leg was. A group of hunters had to give it enough tranquiller to put out a rhino. They said it looked like an overgrown wolf with elongated ears and teeth with claws as sharp as knifes.

Both the adult and child were now on the way to the Exotic North American Zoo in Kansas. It was about the size the size of a large city because off all the landed needed for the animals. The zoo was the only kind in the United States. Each major country was allowed to have one because it was government run for the safely for the creatures. Workers were selected through a very strict process, sometimes they had to be brought into the country to work.

The baby was let out first in a quarantine area while the adult had to be brought into a bigger cage. When the baby awoke it looked frightened. It curled up in a corner between the back walls to get as far away from the strange creatures at the cage bars. When the adult came to it went into a rage. It started throwing itself against the bars and walls at full force. The noise it made was almost ear-piercing. It had to be shot with a sedative to calm it down. The older lied down once the sedative took effect. It started to make low grunts in the back of its throat. A noise could be heard from the younger one from the other end of the room. It was the only assurance the older got before it fell asleep.

"Arthur, mon ami, are you happy to be here!" A happy Frenchman said.

"Francis, how many times do I do I have to tell you to stop calling me that." The Englishman hit Francis with his over the shoulder bag.

"Don't be like that; we are going to be working in the same place anyways." Francis shrugged.

"Wrong, we are going to be working at the same establishment but in different departments."

"Stop taking the fun out of everything. I am going to be working in the veterinary clinic so whenever one of your animals is sick you have to see me during working hours. What habitat are you working in?"

"I don't know the name, all I know if that they found the creature a month ago and they can't train it. The older one already killed two people who got to close. The child already warmed up to people. I think they are hosting a contest to name the new animal."

Arthur and Francis we waiting at the airport for their ride to their new work place. They were going check out the facility before going to the houses they were going to be staying in. The government gave houses to the workers of the facility in a living area just outside of the parks boarder to all easier access to work, cars too. Of course the towns were under strict laws: no alcohol, streets had to be cleared by ten pm etc. Each town had a different set of laws that the workers had to abide by. There was a store in the next town over which was not even thirty minutes by car.

"At least the economy recovered. I mean it would suck coming here, now look at it, it is the third hi-tech country in the world." Francis stretched.

Francis was right in the past years America's economy went up. It happened because more American made products were being sold thus keeping the money in the country. Its debt was being paid off by the millions at a time. The surplus in money had made prices drop so things were cheaper. More jobs were opening making the unemployment rate drop. It became easier for people the support themselves and their children. The average was three children per household. America was now high-tech just behind China in second and Japan in first.

"How much longer will it be until the car arrives?" Arthur complained.

"Arthur, mon ami, we have been waiting ten minutes. I want to see my house and the zoo too but I'm not in that big of a rush." He patted Arthur's shoulder.

"Don't touch me frog. Ew now I have to burn this shirt."

"Are you Arthur Kirkland and Francis Bonnefoy?" A black haired, black eyed Asian said walking towards the duo. "My name is Kiku Honda and I am here to escort and welcome you two to EAMZ."

The two men followed the Japanese man to the parking to where his car was parked. They watched as the city went past them as they went into the countryside. The group came to some gates. Kiku rolled down his window and passed his ID card through the scanner. When the gate opened the car started to move again. No sooner than ten minutes they were in a town.

"I have been asked to show you your house before I go and show you your work places. There is a parking lot at the back of the zoo for the workers cars. For today I will be driving you back and forth." After a few moments they pulled into the driveway of a one story house with a garage. "This is Francis's house. All of the houses are one story and the inside can be painted any colors you so choose but the outside have to stay the same." Kiku dug into the bag in the passenger seat and came out with something. 'This is your keys to the house and the car."

"I am just going inside and drop my things off I can take a look at it later." Francis said walking to the trunk that as already open to retrieve his things.

"I am going to do the same thing." Arthur said.

Kiku handed him the key as Francis jumped back in the car. A few turns later and they were at Arthur's house. He quickly got his luggage from the trunk and went into the house. Arthur just placed his bags on the floor without a glance before locking the door behind him and walking back to the car. They arrived into the worker's parking lot to see an ambulance. Kiku parked at the car and started to walk to the entrance.

"Looks like he got another one, which makes four this month, how many more people are he going to go through." Kiku sighed.

"May I ask who?" Francis said.

"The mysterious beast, we call him A. He is highly temperamental. A has killed two people and ripped limbs of one," The paramedics came rushing by with woman on a gurney, trying to stop the bleeding, "Make that two. He does not care if your male or female he will attack. I feel sorry for you Arthur-san."

"Me? Why?" Arthur was confused.

"You are in charge of A." Kiku's voice had sadness in it, "It is horrible to lose collogues before you even get to meet them."

Francis gave Arthur a worried glace but continued down the hallway. Francis was shown where he is going to work first because it was closest. It looked like a normal place. The room was sectioned off. There were the examination rooms, surgery rooms, quarantine rooms and the storage rooms. Francis was taking a tour with of one of the doctors while Kiku and Arthur waited outside.

"Do you all have a reason why A is acting like he is?" Arthur asked leaning against the wall.

"Nope none at all, the team keeps his calm using sedatives because if did not what you saw back there coming in would be an everyday occurrence." Kiku said.

"He is that bad."

"Hai but we can't see the problem why though. He is always on edge never letting us get close."

"You work there too."

"Hai but I work with the young one. We called her Zara; she looks like a miniature version of A." Kiku said with a smile. "She is a really sweet thing once you get to know her. I am actually the first person that could get close and touch her without her running away or trying to bite. A never lets anyone near you cannot even touch the cage. We cannot let them out into the habitat until we can train A."

"I hope I can live to tell the tale." Arthur laughed.

"Alright mon ami time to go see Arthur's job."

The trio had to exit the back of the zoo and was lead into the path. There were tourists all around with cameras taking pictures of the animals. Arthur had only been to the exotic zoo in England once before so he loved the journey. There were tigers, lions, phoenixes, nagas, sphinxes, Minotaur, centaurs and many others but that was just small fraction of the land animals because there were also sea animals.

"Arthur you look like a child in a candy shop." Francis chuckled.

"Shut it frog. My family wasn't like yours and could go every year."

Arthur looked to the side and saw that one of the exhibits was covered in a black force field and the camera monitors were down. "What happened over there?"

"Some of the animals must have gotten into a fight and not to scare the little kids we put that up and the monitors that follow the animals are turned off. It is also sound proof so nothing can be heard from inside, well only to those who are in the back area." Kiku replied.

Arthur continued to move down the path, watching all the animals go by. They soon came to an area which was not sealed off but the monitors were down. That told people that there was no animal in there yet. Kiku led them further until they took a left down an alleyway. There was rest stop, vending machines and restrooms down this alleyway. Kiku swiped his ID card in the slot and punched in a number making the door slid open.

"You will learn the number needed to get into that habitat later. Follow me." Kiku beckoned with his hand as he passed through the door.

Arthur and Francis did as they were told. The howls and cries were heard coming from down the hallway. The noise made a shiver course down Arthur spine. A man came running down the hallway with a sedative. Kiku ran after him making Arthur and Francis follow suit. When they arrived in the room it was a chaos. People were running around trying to calm the beast down at the end of the hall. The hall was big enough to have two male elephants walk side by side and still have room.

Arthur looked to his right and saw Kiku comforting the young creature. He figured the one in the back was A. A call rang out from the little one witch the big one responded too. He knew what was happening, it was separation anxiety. The big one did not like having the younger one away from him.

"Don't shoot him." Arthur managed to scream over the yelling. The only sound in the room heard was from the caged animal. "Don't shoot him, I know what's wrong."

The crowd watched him as he went into the smaller ones cage. The younger one was not sure wither she could trust the man or not. Her only option was to try to bury herself into Kiku. Arthur started making a 'shhhh' sound which calmed the younger one. She slowly nudged Arthur's hand with her snout. Arthur started to pet the creature making it come towards him and away from Kiku.

He grabbed a small patch of fur and stood up. The younger creature followed Arthur out the cage and down the hall. The crowd watched in awe as the younger creature followed the new man once he had his hand off of her. As the duo walked even closer to A the calls and howls quieted down. When they were standing in the front of the calling stopped and the bigger one stepped away from the cage. Arthur got the gate open and led the younger one in. He knew he was putting himself in danger going into the cage.

"Arthur-san what have you done." Kiku called running towards Arthur.

Arthur looked and noticed how the entire crew's mouths were dropped and their eyes were wide. They followed after Kiku running to see what happened. When all the people looked into cage they saw something they never thought they would see. A was curled up facing them and the little one was burying herself in A's fur beneath his upper arm, snuggling close to his body. Both creatures looked like they fell into a blissful sleep.

"Arthur-san, how did you know that was going to work?" Kiku asked dumbfound.

"It looked like separation anxiety. Bringing the two together would stop it." Arthur shrugged.

"What I am surprised as that he did not attack for even being nears his mate."

"'Mate', what do you mean?" Arthur raised an eyebrow.

"As far as we know they are the only ones of their species. He may be raising it to become its mate later on."

"Can I go look around the place?" Arthur asked.

"I want to also. I don't want to get lost." Francis butted in.

"Yeah, you will be getting your IDs tomorrow." Kiku said.

Before leaving Arthur looked at the two creatures again. The scene before him warmed his heart. To him the creatures seem more like father and daughter then two mates. With that last look he was off to explore the rest of his workplace.
