Chapter- 5
Heya guys, here's your Fifth update, hope y'all like it :-}
NoFace- Thanks for reading the last chapter and I can see your confusion. Maybe you didn't read my 3rd chapter's A.N. carefully so let me clear something again :-
1. Kahli and all her animal friends talk in their ANIMAL language but the TRANSLATION is being shown in Metallic English as we've seen in THE JUNGLE BOOK where animals and Mowgli talk in English but when it comes to talk to Victor in real life, Kahli seriously doesn't understand his language but since she's a feral with super senses and brain, she's learning it very fast through all the books, magazines and other stuff he brings for her everyday.
2. She didn't like Victor Creed at all until she spent three weeks with him, she was totally defensive in their first meeting as you've read in Chapter- 2 but her brother wants her to be friends with Victor so they both could be comfortably ready for their feral bond in her 'heat' time. So they're both trying their best.
3. And yes, I know I'm keeping Victor a little bit out of character here. He's not being the typical Victor Sabertooth Creed who's going in there to grab her hair and drag her with him because female ferals are almost extinct. He doesn't want to lose this only one who's stronger and more savage than any other female feral of the world. Even if he forces himself upon her, she will fight back, run away and try to hurt to herself in her 'heat' days which are going to come soon. Hope that explains everything :-}
"When he come back?" Kahli asked agitatedly as she came out of hiding. Her brother'd just been carried out of the wood on a strange, bed like thing she'd seen in that magazine. Victor'd strictly forbidden her to come into sight of those foresters. The existence of Vandevi'd been an urban legend among the locals and it needs to stay that way or all the killings she'd done in past twelve years would come out and she would become a goddamned cold-blooded murderer in the eyes of the whole country.
"Doctors'll be able to say anything about it once the bullet is out but I'm sure It's not gonna take him more than a few weeks to be able to be discharged."
She sat on a boulder. "It my fault." she lowered her head and whispered to herself. A couple of tears trickled down to the ground. Ola and Zehri sat near her feet and tried to comfort her by pressing their heads against her legs.
Creed walked over to her and crouched down before her. His index claw lifted her chin and wiped her tears. "You brother'll be fine. I'll make sure he comes back as soon as possible and then-"
"He want me to go with you." her mutter cut him off abruptly.
"What?" he couldn't believe what she just said.
"He think I not safe here becoz human think me danger."
Sabertooth grins widely.
That's what we wanted to hear for you, Mate!
That was exactly what Victor'd wanted to hear from her mouth for the past so many weeks. He knew he should be happy but the sadness of her face stopped the content grin from taking over his lips.
He stroked her cheek. "And you don't want to go, do you?"
She sighed and leaned into his palm. "This jungle...my home, Viktar. Vidal say I was very small when his mother Nala find me. My father and mother leave me becoz I born with these claws and teeth." she looked down at her claws and traced her thumbs over them.
She looked back up to the feral male. The tears caused by painful memories swimming in those big, brown pools. "Our mother die to save us from a human hunter. That why I hate them. All these animals, they my family. I want to save my family from those humans and..." she choke up abruptly. This was the very first time when she opened up to Creed like this and for the very first time, a frail's waterworks melted something inside Saber Fucking Tooth. Creed could understand her pain. He'd also once swore to protect and take care of Jimmy just like that.
He hastily pulled her into his arms. His massive arms enveloped around her little frame like a protective shield. "Don't cry, kitten. I know you don't want to leave your old brother and other friends alone here but I promise you baby, that they all will be completely safe here in your absence. I've talked to the Forest Ministry. I told them about trafficking and poaching going on here and they've assured me that they are going to transform it into a wildlife sanctuary so none of its inhabitants can be hunted down by those human bastards again."
"Really?" her surprised tone whispered against his clothed chest.
"Yes." he said, rubbing her back gently. "Anything else that's stoppin' you from comin' with me?
"Yes. What if I not like there?" another silly worry from the feral girl.
Creed smirked into her deep brown dreads. He needed to lighten up the situation. "Then you can come back here if you want."
Sabertooth laughs out loud.
Only in her fuckin' dreams!
Kahli pulled off with a playfully cocked brow. "No, you not let me."
Creed flashed a canined grin. "Damn right I won't."
V-V-V-V-V-V-V
"Hey brother, welcome back."
The old leopard'd been discharged from the veterinary hospital today. His eyes widened in pleasant shock as he saw his little sister standing before him in those 'human' clothes with Victor. Even her messy hair was pulled back. She was really looking like one of them.
"Go, meet him." Creed said softly and left them both alone for a while.
She walked over to him and squatted down before him. "How are you now?"
"I am just fine but you..." he shook his head with a wide, fanged grin. "You look so great in these human clothes."
She smiled back and stroked his soft fur. "Viktar's brought them."
"You're really looking like-"
"Viktar's taking me with him today." she abruptly snarled it out.
"What?" a wide shock in the old leopard's eyes. "So Soon?!"
"Isn't that what you wanted?" she said bitterly. She was still pretty upset over her brother's decision of sending her away. This was the biggest decision of her life and she had no say in it.
"I know you are still angry about all of this but please, try to understand my fear. If keeping you away from my sight keeps you safe...I will do it at any cost." His throat turned husky with the sudden surge of emotions.
"Brother..." Kahli hugged him tightly and let a single tear escape the corner of her left eye. This creature, who'd been her only family for the last twelve years, she wouldn't be able to see his face again. Agonizing pain pierced her heart. She would miss him, she would miss him so much.
V-V-V-V-V-V-V
"We'll miss you a lot." Zehri and Ola climbed up Kahli's shoulders and snuggled into her cheeks.
"I'll miss you guys, too." she smiled weakly, a couple of tears swimming in her eyes. She'd promised to herself that she wouldn't cry when she said goodbye to her friends forever but still...
"Will you ever come back here?" Ola asked sadly, wiping a single tear off the corner of his eyes with his index talon.
"I hope so, big guy." she hated to lie but...
"Don't worry about us and your brother. We will look after of him." Zehri gave an assuring hiss.
"C'mon kitten, we're gettin' late." Victor growled from behind. Their private Jet was waiting for them.
She slowly got up and spun her gaze all around her. Her brother and all other animals of her jungle were standing around her to give their Goddess an unforgettable farewell she truly deserved.
V-V-V-V-V-V-V
"Oooooh that a big machine bird!" Victor bit back a laugh at Kahli's exclamation. Her eyeballs turned into teacups as she saw this gigantic, metal 'bird'.
"It ain't a bird, kitten, it's an aeroplane." he turned to his assistant stealing hesitant glances at the feral woman. Before his eyes could travel down and notice the soft peaks of her braless nipples-
"You done starin'?" his boss's possessive growl caused him to straighten and clear his throat.
"S-Sorry, sir."
"Is everything ready in the mansion?"
"Yes, sir. I called Mr. Wilson in the morning and he said that your guest's room'd been prepared."
"Good." he turned back to the feral girl and grinned. "C'mon kitten, time to go home."
"We go in it?"
"Yes." he said with a roll of eyes as he stepped on the first stair of the plane and extended his hand.
Her jaw hit the floor again. "Oooooh we can take all my friends in it.
He chuckled. "Yeah but some other day, now c'mon," she smiled and took his hand as she stepped towards her new life.
V-V-V-V-V-V-V
"Welcome back, sir." the middle aged butler adjusted his glasses and welcomed his Master and his guest with the good, old never changing smile.
"OOOOOH.." Kahli ran her bulged out eyes all around. This 'house' of Viktar, it was no house, it was..it was...she didn't even have words to describe the splendor of his 'cave'.
Creed smirked smugly at another amusing reaction from his kitten and wrapped his arm around her. She wasn't looking one bit tired even after spending twenty fucking hours just sitting on her ass. She did nothing but staring out of the window all the time and squealing in awe over stupid things like a bright sunrise, white clouds and the goddamned landscape of miniature buildings. It was all totally new and bedazing for her and amusing but also frustrating for him and gawd, he was now really having doubts if she was really a feral or not because all she was nibbling on the plane was a small 'leaf bag' full of bananas and mangoes, a small gift from the Monkey Club of her jungle.
"So how was the journey, sir?" Wilson asked, takin off Victor's coat.
"Like always, boring and tiring." he snorted and turned to the female feral completely mesmerised by the grandness of the mansion. "This is Kahli, my Mate."
"I beg you pardon, sir?" the old man had no idea what the heck this 'Mate' thing is.
Before Creed could growl at the old servant for his little back-talk, Kahli extended her hand.
"I, Kahli." the sight of her razor-sharp claws and the flash of her pearly white fangs caused the butler to push a dry gulp down his throat. Now he probably knew what a 'Mate' was.
"Hello, Ms...Kahli." he nervously took the hand. Kahli heartily and vigorously shook his hand as Victor taught her. Creed once again barely drank down a loud laugh.
The kitten was just...
V-V-V-V-V-V-V
"This is your room, ma'am, I hope you'd like it." Kahli's eyebrows once again shot skyward as she ran her eyes around. The room was even bigger than entire cliff their cave was situated on. Why is everything so big in this 'house' of Victor?
"This not a room, this a village." she said mesmerised.
The aged butler suppressed a chuckle. "No, Ma'am, this is a room indeed."
His sentence pulled her out of her train of thought. She turned around. "Why you call me mam? Call me Kahli."
"But Ma'am-"
"Kahli." she almost growled this time.
"Okay...Kahli." he said nervously. "This is your room and that's your bathroom. I've kept the tub ready. You please freshen up first and then join Mr. Creed for dinner."
"I not hungry." she shook her head. "And I not know what fre-sh-en up is."
"Uhhh...freshen up means...taking a bath."
"Bath?" she was even more confused now.
"Uhm.." the old man scratched his bald head. "Bath means..uhhh-yes, wash yourself with water." another confusing reply.
"Wash, water...you mean swim?"
"Uh-yes, something like..swim." he let out a silent phew. Where the heck did Mr. Creed find 'this thing'?
"Okay. Swim. I like swim." she grinned like an idiot and trotted into the master bathroom.
V-V-V-V-V-V-V
"So she in bathroom?" Creed asked nonchalantly, running his eyes over the files of his monthly revenue.
"Yes, sir. She said she wasn't hungry and just wanted to rest after the bath."
"Okay. Did you tell her how the jet panels and other things work in there?" Wilson's face blanched at once. How the heck did he forget to-
"AHHHH!" A loud groan from the bathroom yanked the attention of both men. Victor promptly ran toward Kahli's room.
"What the fuck?!" a great water mess was waiting for his eyes. The jets were left open and the half of tub's water was sloshed out but instead of hurrying over to the feral damsel in soaking distress and pulling her out of the tub she'd fallen upside down into, Creed burst into loud laughter.
"Stop laughing and help me." Kahli hissed through clenched teeth.
Creed barely suppressed another grin before turning off the shower and walked over to her lazily. He caught her legs swinging in the air and gave a toothy grin. "How did you end up like this?"
"Your servant say to swim but there no river or pond here. I touch that square thing and rain start. I step back and then I not know how but I fall in this big...bowl."
Victor couldn't suppress it any moment and burst into laughter again. Kahli grumbled at his rude behavior but deep down, it felt good to see him laugh so boisterously.
"It's not a bowl kitten, it's a tub and we take bath in it."
"Yes, bath, he say to take bath but-"
"But he forgot to tell you how to use it, right?" he pulled her out with another fanged grin and leered at her soaked, white shirt. Her 'braless' nipples were already making solid peaks against the soft fabric but dayum! Now those brown circles were clearly visible in the wet, translucent cloth clung to her upper half and awaking Creed's sleeping tiger down there.
He shook his head with hard (painfully hard) determination. No, not now. She needed to look a little 'presentable' first and then they were going to meet an old friend who was a goddamned walking Encyclopedia about Ferals. Creed knew about his kind more than anyone out there but unfortunately, his knowledge was mostly based on male ferals and female ferals were a totally different science. He needed to know everything about his kitten and and her vulnerable state in her upcoming cycle before they started boinking like fucking rabbits.
"Uhm.." he cleared his throat and pulled a towel from the hanger. "We'll do somethin' about your 'bath' tomorrow. Right now, you need to change. Get rid of those clothes and I'm tellin' Wilson to pull out the nightwear I bought you in India." he rushed out of the bathroom before she could notice the fucking tent between his legs. He needed to get rid of it and he'd gotten a good 'picture' for tonight.
