The Wolf Child

Lee

Kurt, turns around at the sound of my mother. She tells him to go get some breakfast. Which I believe he needs. I am sure the "tree" needs constant nourishment just to keep going!!! But, he is a gentle giant, whom I have a certain affection for. Maybe a sisterly thing?

I look back toward the cage. Mother tells me to keep still. She whispers that his name is Tommy. So now what, I think.

I can see him move a little. His dark eyes open just a bit. Maybe he is dreaming? What in the name of God brought him here? His breath quickens. He rolls over.

Ok, I am sitting here watching a wolf-man, getting a hard on. I know I am a bit cynical, but what is this? I think I am in some nightmare.

His dark eyes open just a little more. I am captured by his stare. In his liquid eyes I see pain, longing, and I can see that he is searching for something. I imagine he is searching for something in me. A deep sound issues from the depths of him. A growl? Should I be afraid?

This is the strangest part. I can feel a wetness growing between my legs and a stirring in my heart. This wolf/man is moving me in a way I have never felt before.

I can stand the scrutiny of his eyes no longer and I look away. Standing I turn torward my mother. I see Kurt eating at the table behind her. With tears in my eyes I ask, "Why is he here?" "Why am I here?"
 
Dr. Brannack

Sighing, I glance over Lee and try to explain for the hundreth time...

"You are here because you are my daughter and I am your sole guardian and provider.. You are in a research field as well and here as well as an assistant as are the other young students. I told you before.. We are here to see the How's and why's of it.. How he got here? Why wasn't he ever found.. WHO is he? Where are his parents? Can he be reintroduced into society or must he remain out here living as he does.. Can he be taught to speak, reason as a human... You know my field of study honey.." I hugged her quickly and stepped back, though my hands kept ahold of her arms, not hurting just holding.
"If you wish to study like your father, like I do, you have to be willing to go places, do things. There isn't many opportunities for women these days.. And who knows what will happen in the 40's but right now, this is your future, your training and this young man is a researcher's dream come true! Look at him!" I turned her around to face him.
"He is without morals.. He is without societies blemishes.. He is natural.. Almost as if we were looking at a prehistoric man! Only he does not know he is a man.. He believes himself to be a wolf! Does it make it right to show him what he is? Or does this make us wrong? I am not sure, but scientificly speaking.. It's right to at least see if he can learn to be human and choose from there.. He has no idea what is outside this forest... Don't you think he should!?" I was certain her answer would contradict my own thoughts, but I was used to it by now.. Teenagers always rebelled. Sighing heavily, I turned from her and moved to the other side of the cage, watching the eyes of this young man.
"He is dangerous, a cornered animal, so be careful around him.. But he is also human and inside there.. inside his innocent mind.. Is the ability to comprehend and learn.. And Wolf Enterprises wants this man.." A comflict of interest where even I was uncertain what to do.. But Wolf E. paid me.. paid the bills and provided her home and food.. We would give this our best try.. Within some moral's and guidelines.. If this young man could not be taught, could not be tamed, I could never willingly..... I sighed again, my thoughts in turmoil when they should be forcused on this subject and gaining the goals everyone wanted.
"I do my job Lee, we all have too.. And if he is attracted to you in some small way, you make it much easier on us and him by helping not fighting.." Rising from the squatting position I eyed Kurt at the make shift table eating.
"We should offer him something to eat and see if he is willing.. I have to get something done today with him...." I knew staying in his natural environment would make it easier on all of us, including him. And I knew if I took him immediately back to the states, this would be turned over to other scientists who would not balk at causing him pain to get him to cooperate.. Taking it out of my hands and his. And I was certain his untimely death.. Wild creatures, even human's could never be locked up.. It was best to try and remain here..
 
Kurt

Sitting at the table eating I watch and listen as Ms Bannack explains to her daughter about their job here and reminding her that she is part of it.

The poor girl is in tears not being able to understand the wolfmans attraction to her and maybe she has some feelings shes dealing with too.
Me now, I kinda feel sorry for the little fellow on acount of I traped him and got him into this perdicerment. I know if I was him I wouldn't be feeling too happy right now. Ms Brannack looks at me and I hear her talking about food and I suddenly know what we can do.

I grab a platefull of flapjacks and bring them over to the cage. then looking at Lee and pushing the plate into her little hand I say "Here Lee, he seems to have taken a liking to you feed him some of these, maybe that would be a good thing to do."

I look in the cage and see his erection still obvious and know it isn't food hes thinking of right now but knowing my own self think it's the next best thing.
 
Wolf Child/tommy

Once again, the green eyed one broke her spell, but Wolf Child could tell by her scent she was receptive. The hairless pack milled around barking and growling till Green Eyes carried something over to him that smelled sweet. She could use her paws like he sometimes did as well as go on two legs. They were like him, not his pack. She pushed the strange swet smelling meat at him and he sniffed it through the walls of the den. It was warm like freshly killed meat, and dripped with some kind of bloos, so he licked it to taste. It was nothing he had ever known, the sweetness overwhelmed him. Reaching through the shiny den walls he grabbed it in his paws and shoved it into his mouth as quick as he could. Part of it fell from her paws as she jumped back with a yelp and it shattered on the hard ground, but the Wolf Child barely noticed, so absorbed was he in the sweetness. He stuffed the soft, sticky food into his mouth and licked his hands clean before looking up into their astounded faces.
 
Lee

Mother explains to me again all the reasons we are here. I know, and I understand. But sometimes it is all too hard to accept.

Kurt brings over a plate of the flapjacks, telling me to offer them to Tommy.

Kneeling down to the cage again, I turn the plate slightly so it will fit through the bars, trying not to spill all of it.

The wolf/man sniffs tentatively, and then comes toward the food and my hand fast. It is then that I jump back, spilling the plate and its contents anyway. And landing on my butt, I let out a whoosh of air.

This creature terrifies me, and at the same time I am drawn to him. I want to seem brave and in control in front of my Mother and Kurt. Shaking my head I lift my self up to the side of the cage again. Tommy has eaten all the flapjacks and is licking his fingers. I reach in to take out the plate. All at once Tommy reaches for my hand. Then he starts licking the syrup off of one of my fingers. He does this so gently. Did I ever think he could hurt me? His tongue runs up one finger and down the other side. Sending chills up my spine. His eyes are on my face the entire time. Maybe he is wondering if I would harm him. He then turns his face into my hand, as if wanting me to pet him on the head. His hair is long and matted in some places. But I softly run the palm of my hand down the length of it. He emits a soft growl.

It is then that I notice the smell. Not a completely bad thing. I can discern - earth, sun, the forest, decay, and the unmistakable musky scent of a man.

"Mother, or Kurt would you please bring me some clean water and a cloth?"
 
Dr Brannack

Moving towards the 'kitchen' I pulled out some water from the barrel and grabbed an old rag for her as well. It was clean, not that he was...
Moving back, I handed her the bowl and the rag as I watched him carefully. He did like Lee, something about her attracted him.
"Remember to call him Tommy, see if he learns to associate his name with himself.. Granted it's not his real name, but it will do for now.." Smiling I moved around to the other side of the cage as I watched him snuggle her hand.
Oddly enough he did not harm her in any fashion, he seemed taken with her. A surprising break through considering he was wild and untamed as a real wolf! Speaking softly I instructed Lee not to make sudden movements and try not to hurt him in any way.. "If he fights against you washing him, back away and bow your head a little.. that is a submissive sign for dogs. Show him his superiority and he will be contented.." I hoped!
 
Wolf Child/Tommy

When the young female slid her hand into the den, Wolf Child reached over and grabbed it. he bent and began licking the sweetness from her finger, having thoroughly cleaned his own. He had never tasted anything this sweet and licked her finger as thoroughly as he had licked his own. Even after the last taste of the sticky fluid was gone, he continued to lick her paw, looking into her eyes,attempting to groom her as if she were one of the pack.

She returned the groming, stroking his har, running her fingers through it from his forehead to his neck. he leaned into her stroking rubbing his face over her hand, growling contently.

The female barked and the others of her pack answered her. Then she bagan to stroke him with someting soft and wet. She moved the wet pelt-thing over his forehead and face, crooning, "Tommy, Tommy" Over his eyelids and nose she stroked him softly, making the strange sound, brushing away the dirt that covered him. When she moved the wet thing over his neck and upper chest, he lay on his back and let her grrom him, as if she was a member of his pack. "Tommy, Tommy.............."

Marie Daubachon crooned to her baby as she bathed him gently. laying naked on the table, he looked so much like her beloved Pierre. he was truly her lover's son,they look so much alike, she thought as she stroked him with the towel. Well, not there, she laughed to herself as she bathed the little button betwen his legs, but perhaps some day he would pleasure a young maid as much as Pierre pleasured her. Wrapping little Charles in a blanket she carried him to a chair and offered him her breast. He suckled her as greedily as his father, she thought. enjoying the pleasure of his feeding. She was contented living in this small cabin in the mountains, far from the troubles that had driven them here.

"Tommy, Tommy.." the she wolf's soft voice soothed him as the wet cloth soothed his chest. He arched his back and pushed against her hand, relishing her grooming, and reached out through the shiny trees that mad this strange den and began to stroke her back, grooming her as she groomed him. From her neck to her haunch, his hand moved. Like him, she was tailess and he stroked across her hind quarters and down her leg. Her skin was strange, it was loose and moved as he stroked her and when he tried to stroke her belly, she pulled away.
 
Dr. Brannack

ooc: dont know where Dreamwvrs is so I am just going on...

IC:

Noticing his interest and where it was going I gasped and stood up.
"Lee! Go for a walk, I will need some time with him to run some tests." I sent her off without another word. Moving around the cage I picked up the rag and bowl, returning them to the make shift kitchen.
He was more than interested in Lee, I could see it in his eyes and his body's reaction to her touch and presence. It was a good thing but also bad. I was not going to subject my daughter to a nude male and his pawing at her. Well not right away anyway.
Shaking my head, I returned to the cage and sat on a chair. Taking out a pencil and paper I began writing a description of him as he sat staring back at me. Perhaps after this I could try getting him to speak? It was worth a shot.
 
"Look at the abrasions," Daniel noticed, as he bent down to the cage, his hand moving from one side to the other along his hands, "He might have ran on his hands, you know, like the wolves would."
The spine in a human was very rigid, but it did provide for some comfortable position in which to run with both the hands and the legs. It would look absolutely ghastly, a sort of clumsy attempt of a man pretending to be a wolf. He didn't much think the creature cared about what he looked like though.
"Still, look at the well defined muscle tones of the calves, and thighs."
No, he ran on his feet. Daniel made an educated guess about that right then and there. His arms did have define muscles, but the legs were notorious for being pack houses to really show a persons lifestyle. They way the man looked, Daniel didn't doubt he could probably set a few new quarter mile records.
Without breaking a sweat.
"Great physical shape. I would think that polio or something might have gotten to him by now, but he looks just fine. Nothing broken or bruised."
Daniel shrugged, stepping back from it. He would love to run some hair and blood tests, get them into the lab and studied. It would show pretty much everything, from his diet to local region in which his pack dwelt.
Of course, he didn't like the idea of going in there and getting those things. Hell, even those bars didn't seem strong enough to hold something that feral. He shook off a lingering shiver before grabbing something to eat, various notes bouncing off the walls inside his head.
"You think he understands wolves?"
 
Dr. Brannack

Looking at Daniel and back to Tommy, I would have to agree, he did look rather perfect in shape and tone. Had to come from his living environment.
"I am most certain he understands the wolves.." I spoke up, glancing from the sketching pad. And again meeting this eyes staring back at me.
"The question that is foremost in my mind is can he learn english. Can he learn to be human and once he can communicate, can he tell us how he understands the wolves.." I smiled a little, a break through like that would be astounding!
 
Daniel shrugged his shoulders, "It might be too late. Remember those sisters who had been found in the woods in Paris a few years ago? One was 4, the other 6. The way I heard it, the 4 year old picked up english like a snap, but the 6 year old barely learned a thing. It might be too late. Of course, nothing is impossible."
He sat down on one of the bench stools, beginning to write out a few things.
"Maybe we could teach him something rudimentary. A sign language perhaps. Or perhaps use the wolf language ourselves. We have some sounds we can use. I could give an array of different samples, and see which one he reacts too."
 
Lee

OOC: I hadn't posted, because I didn't want to seem too pushy.




Grabbing a couple of flapjacks from the table and gathering my pack I head out along the path.

I am glad Mother sent me off. That was just way too intense.

Walking calms me. Up ahead I see where I need to leave the path. Stepping off into the woods, the leaves and twigs crunching beneath my boots. I scare a rabbit. It takes off, fluffy tail in the air, back feet seemingly to overtake it's front paws.

I sit on the large fallen tree. The sun has been up for awhile, and it will be another beautiful day. Maybe this place is growing on me a bit.

Taking out my journal, I begin to write about the strange things that have happened this morning.

While I was washing Tommy, he seemed almost in a dream state. I wish I new what was in his mind. What was he thinking? He is almost beautiful. His muscles toned from running with the pack. I don't even want to think about his arousal, but OH MY! It is an animal thing, he doesn't know me.....my thoughts and dreams. It is a purely physical attraction, and it makes my entire body tingle with anticipation.

I think I will sit here for a little bit, then head back. It will be interesting to see what Mother and the crew is going to do now. I do not fear for Tommy, I know she would never hurt him. She can be tough, but she has reverence for human life. Mother can be as gentle and loving as she can be gruff and forward.

I lie back on the tree and close my eyes for just a minute. The birds are singing and a ray of sun touches my cheek. In the far distance I hear a wolf howl. That is a little strange. Wolves aren't usually active during the day. I think there are a lot of strange things going on up on this mountain.
 
Kurt

I see Lee head down the path like her mother asked her to and then thinking she looks kind'a confused decide to go after her. Somehow I feel like she needs someone to talk to. Women are that way I konw cause I got seven younger sisters at home and they sure can talk a bunch. I follow behind her shuffling my feet so that she'll maybe notice me and wait up, but shes lost in her own thoughts and doesn't hear me. Finally whe she stops by a tree and leans against it I come up closer and say "hey girl, penny for your thoughts."
 
Lee

"Kurt, you scared the crap out of me!!!"

You think I would of heard him! But I can't help but smile at him. He is so sweet and gentle, which is at odds with his physical appearance. I love his red hair though. I have always been partial to red heads.

"Come and sit with me, please."
 
Wolf child/Tommy

With his belly full of the strange sweet food, the Wolf Child sat and watched this new pack scurry about. He watched the green eyed one disappear into the woods. Was she hunting? He kept his eyes on her till he lost her in the trees. One of the males, the big one, followed her.Could he be her mate? Wolf Child growled low. He could fight him for her. He was not the pack leader, he scurried when the other female barked at him. That one sat and watched him, so he watched back. her funny skin was a different color but her face was like the young one's. Sister? Mother? Maybe this one was the Mother of the whole pack.

One of the males came close and looked into the den, but didn't offer his throat. He didn't try to dominate, either, and Wolf Child just sat still, confused. Grab his throat and take his place? But the young male walked off and left him to bark and growl at the older female.

Wolf Child cocked his head. In the distance he heard Gray Muzzle howl, calling the pack together, but Wolf Child could not follow. He paced the den, looking for a way out, tried to pry his way out of the corners until, stymied, he sat back down on his haunches and watched the female watch him.Did she want to hunt? Did she want to mate?
 
Dr. Brannack

Setting aside the sketch pad, I moved down closer to the cage, watching Tommy to see what he would do if I got too close? Would he lunge at me? Growl? What did he do if he felt threatened? I was not trying to threaten him but I did want to see if he would accept human touch? Shifting a little, I couldn't sit to comfortably with the bulky sweater on. Rising up, I tugged it off and straightened my shirt before sitting back on my bottom next to the cage.
"Samples might work Daniel, if you can find something recorded maybe he will give us some clue to what they mean... The sounds i mean.." Taking off my ring on my left hand, I slipped it into my pocket and extended my hand a little with a smile.
"Go on.. It's alright.. I won't hurt you.." i said softly, holding my hand palm up but low to the ground. I was nervous but determined. He needed to accept human touch and be comfortable with us in order to keep him around. If he wasn't comfortable at all he would easily run if we opened the cage. The thought of leashing him and tugging him around that way wasn't very appealing.
"Once he is settled down and napping we should move him into the big tent, cage and all. It might help if he doesn't have the woods looming right infront of his eyes." I wasn't certain but it was worth a shot. Placing my hand just barely inside the cage, I watched him to see if he reacted?
 
Wolf Child/Tommy

This pack was so different. Wolf Child's eyes widened as the female pulled her skin off. Under that her skin was blue, but it slid up to reveal a white bellylike his own, only hairless. She pulled her blue skin down to hide her belly and sat down in front of his den. In the distance he could hear Gray Muzzle howl, but was afraid to answer.

The female took something shiny from her hand and hid it in her skin then slid the hand into his den, making soft sounds, coaxing him like he was a pup that needed nursing. It had been a while since he nursed, Torn Ear sometimes let him join her other pups even when he had grown, but he could not see this female's nipples, just her blue skin. Maybe they were under the blue skin where her white belly was. She continued her coaxing barks and wiggled her hand slightly, so he bent his head to sniff it. This one's hand wasn't sticky and sweet, it smelled like flowers. After sniffing her hand, he ran his tongue up the length of her palm to taste her. She shuddered and stiffened a bit, he could smell fear but she did not run or offer her throat. Instead she moved her hand over his face, slowly caressing him, cooing softly, "Tommy, Tommy" The green eyed one had made the same whimper and he looked up into her eyes. These too were green, but different. he licked her wrist as she stroked his face. The farther she stretched her arm into his den, the farther up her arm he licked till he reached her blue skin. It tasted dead and he jumped back, surprised.
 
Dr. Brannack

He was like a little puppy, it was adorable and cute! But having soft spots for him wasn't going to hurry this experiment along any.
When he began licking up my arm, I was a little shocked and uncertain what to do, but I figured it was best to treat him like I would any other pet I had had before.. Like a dog. It would be kind of difficult but I was certain I could manage.
When he jumped back after running into my shirt, I took me a second to realize what spooked him.
"Clothes!" I laughed softly, shaking my head, I should have thought of that.
"He is afraid of the strange colors on our bodies!" This would prove a little akward. What did one do in this case?
"Do you think perhaps someone should shed their clothes and show him we're the same?" It didn't dawn on me to blush about it, nor make a big deal out of this. It was science and we were studying this half man half animal. We needed to decide.
Sighing, I eyed him carefully before moving to my knees.
"Alright, Perhaps if the shirt comes off he will see and understand?" I glanced at Daniel but not for very long. Lifting my arms I tugged off the shirt and handed it to him.
"Here... Shirt. This is a shirt." I smiled, holding out my blue t shirt for his inpection. It was chilly but thankfully my bra covered what it needed to.
 
Wolf Child/Tommy

Shirt.....shirt After first jumping back when she had pulled her skin off and handed it to him, the Wolf Child slowly inched back to her and sniffed the blue skin hanging in her hand. He looked up at her face, puzzled, sniffed the strange thing and grabbed it out of her hands. He smelled it, bit it, twisted it, even rubbed it over his own body. He stuck it on his chest, but it fell off. He looked at her and she bared her teeth but didn't growl. He could see the swellings on her chest, she looked ready to nurse, but there were no pups, perhaps she had them hid in a den somewhere. He scanned her chest, she looked swollen and full of milk, but he still couldn't find her nipples. Perhaps they were under the white skin on her pink chest. He smelled the skin again. It smelled like her, like flowers, with a strange, musky scent underneath. Taking a deep breath, he rubbed it all over his face, then looked over at the female. She kept taking her skin offm maybe there was more. He shot his arm our of the den and grabbed the white skin on her chest and pulled it to him. The female shrieked and grabbed his arms and to his amazement, the skin on her chest stretched outward toward him as she pulled her body back.There were her nipples! This pack was amazing!
 
Kurt

" come and sit with me please"

I could see confusion in her green eyes and a pleading in her voice and I wanted to comfort her and listen to her talk maybe I could help her understand her feelings. I sat down beside her and put my arm around her looking down into her eyes. She trusted me I could tell that and I felt very comfortable sitting next to her . Some girls I had known seemed to expect you to play a sort of game with them giving you the wrong idea about what they really wanted. Lee was different. I knew she would share her real feelings with me so I said.

"This is all really exciting for your mother, all her attention is on the little fellow in the cage. maybe she was jealous because you got the wolfmans interest first and she wanted to be the one to do that. Anyway it don't really matter because I know you just want to help but don't know how, wondering why your here at all."

I stop talking thinking maybe I said too much, that she would feel I was getting in her space so I just took her little hand in my big one and waited for her to speak.
 
Daniel couldn't help but laugh, moving away to the big tent to grab her another piece of clothing.
"It might not be such a good idea to make him think we're equals just yet. He's still wild, and afraid, and not sure what's going on. His view on clothes are about about good as mine is on thermal dynamics."
He handed it to her, watching the man in there eyeing both the woman and the bra he tore off. Well, at least he had an excuse for his randy behavior. If Daniel had ever done that, he would have gotten fired on the spot.
He leaned into the cage, whispering," Good job."
 
Dr. Brannack

"That was not amusing Daniel!" I chastized him, trying hard not to laugh myself. Eyeing Tommy I gave him a stern gaze too, "Bad Tommy." Taking the shirt from Daniel's out thrust hand, I quickly put it on and buttoned up the front.
"We don't want him afraid either, We can't have it both ways. Can't treat him as an object and can't give him too many freedoms or he'll bolt. Help me get this cage into the largest tent. We can do better studies in there." I picked up my things and moved chairs out of the walk way so I would have a clear path to the tent. Hopefully Tommy did not get upset about being picked up and moved around?
I eyed the shirt inside his cage and was tempted to pull it out, but thought better of it. lord only knew what he would tear off this time! Kneeling next to the cage I handed him a piece of jerky with some seditive on it.
 
'Are you sure? I mean, I know I'm just the assistant, but my studies in the lab showed that animals are more calm when they are in their own enviornment. He's in a cage now, but at least he can see the forest and surrounding nature. Inside, it'll be nothing but canvas flaps. He might get scared and hurt himself... or tear off more of your clothing."
He looked off in the far distance, hearing the solemn echo of a wolf cry. He watched as the caged man began to get edgier when that happened. He searched the cage again for another exit, and got a look of almost anticipation on his face.
Fascinated, simply fascinating.
"But, you are paying my salary, so let's hurry up before it gets too hot to do anything out here."
 
Dr. Brannack

"we'll bring Tommy back out later, after a few preliminaries are done with. I'd like to get him alone, without the woods distracting him and see if he can be cleaned up a little and get a few bits of information. Hieght weight, look for birthmarks. I will need your assistance of course, not sure how he will behave and I need all the help I can get.."
Helping him lift the cage and slowly move towards the tent I began to have doubts that this was all a big waste of time. I had hopes though that he could learn.
 
He heaved it in place with a sounding huff, wiping the sweat pouring down his brow. Damn, for a scrawny looking runt, he sure did weigh a ton. Most of it was probably the cage, but his carcass wasn't helping the matter much.
"Are you sure? I feel a little on edge about getting in there with him. He seems all right with females, but have you noticed he growls at just about every guy who comes close to the cage? He might think that I'm trying to fight him or something. If you want to get the stats, we could sedate him, or possibly have Lee do it. He doesn't mind when she's in there."
Daniel snickered a little bit, "Of course, you might want to bring an extra shirt with you."
