A Human Puppy V2 (Open)

Rowan wasn't surprised. The human would learn the hard way. The citizens believed he was an ape-raised human by his clothes and Rowan took off after his human. He was quickly gaining on him and leaped- right into his path. The thing is? Rowan had a short temper when he was angry. He wasn't angry, but with a stern look, he reached out simply and plucked his human in mid-stride. He clutched his shirt, which would not tear. It was impossible.

He gave a growl. "You are a foolish boy to run." Without further ado, he purposely walked back into the house, Kracker in tow. "Bad Kracker. You will learn that you cannot get away from your masters." Many of the apes were watching. "New adopted human. He has some things to learn." He alerted them. "Carry on."

He carried Kracker right back into the house and dragged him to the bedroom. He pushed him in and shook his head as he closed the door. Next thing, he latched the door. "I think you should stay in here and think about what you just have done."

Then he left the room's door. "Sneaky human." His sister said. "Like I would want a scrawny pet like that. Maybe Galen could take him and use him for - target practice?" She asked, not sure.

"Nah. It would petrify the puppy. This is better. Let him think twice about crossing me."

Rowan shook his head, hearing Kracker pound on the door, yelling "Let me out and I just want to go home!" Well, to Rowan, he was already home. But he didn't tell him that so he continued on with fixing something for the human. Then all went quiet which meant Kracker was probably thinking about what he had done. Then again, he clearly believed he could run away.

Rowan began to think. Latching all the exits were probably a good idea. Especially tonight. The alarm would be set too. But they only set it after all the family were in the house. He walked over to the door and set it. It was out of reach.

He heard a ding and went over to get the food for the pet. Perhaps once he got something in his stomach, he'd feel much better. He unlocked the door to his room and put the plate on a table. Plastic silverware was on the side of the plate. He didn't quite trust him with silver silverware.

Without a single word, he left the room again and latched it. "Can't have you attempting escape again." He mumbled.

Rowan listened and shook his head as he unlocked the door. "Have you thought about what you did?" He asked. "If you did, then you can come out. Otherwise, if you hadn't, then you will be locked in there the whole night." It was the only way to get the point across.

Rowan shook his head as that new law will not be reversed any time soon. Or ever. "That will not help your case." Rowan said. "Because you can't just wait for that law to be reversed. You'd be old enough to either be set free or remain an ape raised human, apprenticed out to an ape family. Consider this as your apprenticeship then in 5 years."

He stepped away. "Oh. One more thing. Don't attempt to flee again. You don't want to see me when I'm angry. Trust me."

"You're a family pet." He said. "But since you established me as alpha, I'm going to lay a few ground rules. 1: No sneaking out anymore. Once you get your pet clothes and collar, the patrols will know you're a pet and no longer an ape raised human." Rowan walked downstairs. "2 bedtime is at 8:30 PM sharp. 3 if you're outside, you are to stick by me, or the family. 4, we don't always have to have you on a lap unless you need help or comfort which I doubt you'll ever accept." Rowan was a little cold about that. Because it was evident. He didn't like them. At all.

Rowan stepped into the family room where his sister was flipping through the channels on a TV. She was engrossed in a movie about a bunch of ape-raised children were in a camp that were digging holes. It was old movie, but she enjoyed it.

"And 5, do as you're told."

Rowan sat down in a chair. He had never thought of a human sitting on his lap. Only one who actually did was Olivia. She would and he'd always be the older brother to her.

Olivia looked at them both, to watch their interaction. An amused look on her face. She couldn't wait to see what Kracker would do. "Come sit and watch a movie with me?" She asked, Kracker. She had a bowl full of popcorn next to her. Of course, she was always sitting on the floor. They never treated her like a pet. Wouldn't ever give her up. Olivia was a valued member of their family.

Rowan wasn't really ignoring him. He was waiting to see what Kracker would do. Whether he would choose to sit on his lap or be by his side. He didn't seem annoyed, upset. "Oh. That? It's fine." He wasn't annoyed with his behavior. He chalked it to fear. Fear of what he had been taught. "What's done is done. No harm no foul."

Olivia felt she was being ignored. "Pah. Never mind! I'm going to bed!" She stood up, took the bowl of popcorn and went into the kitchen to put it away. She said goodnight to her parents before going to her room and it wasn't even time for bed.

Rowan figured she'd go read a book.
