Oh, this is what happens when you're such a big Tim Roth fan: you can even write a fiction about Thade of the not-so-brilliant Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes. I hope my English doesn't suck so much...
I don't think I have many prejudices for sex scenes, but an apeXhuman erotic situation would be too much even for me, so don't expect to find it here. ^_^


CHAPTER 1: JUST A MATTER OF FASHION

Limbo, the slave merchant, opens the cage, and he says:
"I'm really sorry, General, but at the moment this is the only human I have who's able to play. Maybe next week I can find something more..."
"I need one right now" Thade says, getting closer tho the chained human.
She is a girl - the merchant tells him she must be about 15 or 16 - with long, black hair hiding her face, tanned skin and a thin but quite muscular body. Thade smells her.
"It stinks."
"She's human" Limbo says, shrugging his shoulders. Thade stares at the girl, who is unusually quiet. There is neither fear nor hate in her eyes - the only feelings that Thade has ever seen humans expressing towards him. But *this* human seems not impressed at all by his presence. Thade steps back and says:
"I don't buy her without a test."
"You're absolutely right" Limbo tells him, servily, and takes a flute out of his pocket. He gives hit to the human girl and tells her:
"Play it."
The girl starts playing a swee and melancholic melody. Thade sighs nervously. He hates humans more than anything else, but there is this fashion of having human music at parties, dinners and that kind of stuff. He is not the kind of person that cares about fashion, but it's a matter of diplomacy. Actually, he doesn't care much either of diplomacy, he's a soldier, not a politician, but the importance of his family doesn't allow him to ignore social conventions. He has to entertain his guests. He says:
"Stop. I've heard enough. Take this human to my house."
"do you want her to be washed?"
"She would stink all the same. It's their skin, it's something that would never change."
The merchant grabs the girl to take her to the cart he uses to carry humans, and as she turns Thade notices the seal on her shoulder.
"The seal looks old. Has she already been used?"
"Oh... Well, actually she was one of the humans that were used to build the new city hall, last year. That's why she's so well built" Limbo says, slapping the girl's hips.
"You see" he goes on "this is definitely one of my best articles. Solid, good worker and she can play flute too."
"Yeah, a phenomenon" Thade says, ironically, and he goes away. The girl arrives at his house in the evening, and an ape servant takes her in the basement. He gives her a flute.
"Do some practice" he says "in four days you have to be perfect. Next Monday General Thade has some important guests. *Very* important guests, got the message? You should know he won't admit any mistake."
Again, the girl seems not scared and just nods at the big black ape.
