I sat in a small waiting room that is usually used for meetings but since the man I'm supposed to be waiting for encountered heavy traffic... his expected arrival added another half hour to the expected arrival time... how he could go from 30 to a full hour just with traffic I had no idea. I gave a sigh as I looked over to the two anthro's just watching me from the other side of the room. They just kept on watching me as I sighed and pulled out my phone to double check the time. "um... Mr?" lifting my head I turned towards the two anthro's. "why did you get us?" the older mare asked as I gave a small sigh.
"seeing the two of you planted a seed into my heart when I came here to find a anthro to help a couple other anthro's on my farm. When I left the viewing area I couldn't help but remember the two of you and all the atrocities that my kind has committed against your world... and to be related to the ones who spearheaded the operation to enslave you all... then to also hear the two of you crying out for one another... I knew what fates most likely the two of you would have had if I didn't help you both. Whats the harm anyway..." I gave a small chuckle before I spoke once more to the wide eyed mare. "I'm already having a lot of work done to accommodate the ones already working on the farm so why not help a couple more while I'm at it." I gave them a small smile as she returned it... disbelief in her eyes as something didn't sit right with me. Something was wrong with this situation that I couldn't help but quickly go over all the events that transpired since I arrived here at the center. "do you have any family members I should know about?" I asked the mare.
"there... is my other daughter Amethyst Star... but we were separated when they grabbed us..." this made me freeze as I remembered what I was told by the salesmen which immediately caused anger to easily flow through my system. "w-w-why do you ask?"
"because I was told differently... and now I'm going to have to ask a few questions when I see him again." I spoke as calmly as I could as I also attempted to calm myself down with a few breathing exercises... closing my eyes I began to take deep breath... before slowly exhaling them in a repeated process.
This process went on for several minutes before I was interrupted. "mister?" opening my eyes mid breath intake I looked down at the small filly with a small hand on my right knee. "are you OK?" I gave another small chuckle.
"if I was OK young one... I don't think you would like who I would be." she tilted her head in confusion as I gave another chuckle before rubbing the top of her head in a playful manner. "whats your name little one?"
"my names Dinky! That's my mommy Ditzy!"
"i tend to go by the name Derpy..." her mother spoke up as I looked toward her with a smile and nodded. "can I ask how many other anthro's are on the farm?" I did a quick count of names in my head.
"with you two and the anthro we are waiting on there would be a total of 17 on the farm." she seemed very surprised at my answer as I noticed Dinky climb onto the chair next to me.
"are there others my age?!" she asked in a excited tone as I gave yet again another chuckle towards her attitude as she was so different from when I went to get her and her mother earlier.
"i believe 3 others are your age little one." I said with a smile as she threw her arms up with a large yes causing a giggle to come from her mother. "I'm surprised to see the both of you no longer afraid of me. While I am happy for it I am still surprised."
"i feel safe when I'm around you mister!" Dinky spoke up as I gave her a smile. "mommy usually follows my example!" I gave a loud burst of laughter as I noticed the embarrassed look on her mothers face as I rubbed the top of Dinky's head again causing her to giggle.
"Mr Pendragon?" I heard as I frowned and shot my head towards the door.
"yes?" I asked in a cold tone as the man gave a small gulp.
"your... anthro has arrived sir." I gave a small smile as I stood up as did Derpy and Dinky.
"Excellent... and make sure the salesmen is there... I got a few questions for him." he nodded as Derpy picked up Dinky and held her close to her body as we followed the man until we reached the front entrance.
"so your the one who bought this bitch?" I glared at the man who looked like Christmas had come to his door as I could see the zebra anthro on her knees heavily shackled in iron chains. "glad shes out of my hands! Names Frank." he stuck his hand out as I gave him a quick polite shake as well giving my own name. "hope to do further business with you!" and with that he walked out with a near skip in his step as I felt yet another thing was off due to this introduction. Looking towards the zebra she was looking towards the floor with her eyes closed and head hung in submission.
"get her out of those chains." they quickly did as ordered as I looked towards the salesmen "your company is making it harder for me to want to come by." he looked surprised.
"can I ask why sir?" he asked me with confusion.
"first I see one of your men almost hurt one of my anthro's in my own presence without my permission... and this wasn't the first offense in my presence!" Venom was clear in my tone as he paled a little bit. "the company that was recommended to me to make additions to my home and new buildings had several instances where they have broken my trust to the point I have a officer watching my house while I am not home... you all know who I am correct?"
"y-yes sir." he spoke up as I started to slowly approach him.
"oh really... cause I don't think any of you do... whats my name..." I asked in the calmest tone I could bring myself to say.
"Mr Pendragon." he spoke.
"full name." I growled out as he gulped as I got up into his face.
"Lance Samuel Pendragon!"
"and your damn right! I don't care if you take orders from my family to make my life harder! You mess with whats mine and I will get my own compensation how I see fit! Then you also see fit to lie to me!" he was backed up against the wall with fear as even the guards didn't even move to help him. "what was the question I asked you earlier. Lets see if you can remember which one I am pissed off about."
"um... uh..." he started but even I could tell in my angered state he didn't know.
"when I asked if those two didn't have any other relations? Anymore family members? And you know what the mother told me?" he paled as I gave him a menacing smirk. "that she also has a daughter named Amethyst Star... now you see why I am angry here?" he gulped but nodded his head. "you." I directed my attention to a nearby guard who quickly stood at attention. "due to this information I am extremely displeased with my service at the moment. I don't care what you have to do or who you have to kill. But if that anthro isn't at my very house within the next week. I think ill leave the consequences to your imagination. You got me?" he nodded. "Zecora... Derpy... Ditzy... follow me please."
the zebra looked hesitant but after being helped up and seeing Derpy's smile she followed suit as we left out the front door and towards the truck. After getting everyone situated I began the drive over to the clothing store. "apologies for my anger you three. These days my anger seems to be coming out more and more often."
"hate you have for your own race... unlike you they are a disgrace." and now I see why he sold her from this... I could get used to it actually. "help you have given us three. How can we repay you this fee?"
"just help out where you can. The reason why I got you Zecora was due to me having two anthro's who haven't woken up since my brother brought them to my farm. If things were different I would of gotten them help sooner. Is there anything we need to get before we head home?" I asked her.
"plants and herbs are what I require. If I do not have things could be dire." I nodded towards her words as I pulled into the normal clothing store.
After about 2 hours of gathering what we needed around town we were on our way home with the three wearing their new clothes thankfully. Derpy had proceeded to get some resilient clothes considering her clumsiness to help her minimize the chances for destroying her clothes but the shirts were a size to big for her and hung off of her left shoulder. She picked a large amount of shorts and thankfully Zecora reminded her to get undergarments so I was also thankful for that as well. For footwear she had simple sneakers that I knew could last a while despite any accidents that might happen to them.
Ditzy had picked out a few of everything to be honest but I didn't mind all that much... they were being forced to live with me after being poached from their world and forced into servitude. Zecora though... I would of spoken up about it if she wasn't the one that picked them out... she was able to locate clothes that resembled that of her being from a old Indian tribe. Only 2 sets of clothes were pulled out for her. A large one piece dress that was a pure black, and skirt with bindings for her breasts. She had 3 sets of each and I was thankful she had multiple sets of each one. Although I worried for my self control despite knowing they were all a different species and how they all looked.
Also finding what Zecora needed was quite hard as well but we were able to do so at least. She has seeds for the plants she would need to grow we only needed to get an area set up for her to grow them and work in peace. Pulling out my phone I called Ben who quickly picked up. "everything good?" I heard him ask as soon as he picked up.
"yep. Hoping and praying that nothing has happened and with my luck it could." I heard a small laugh.
"he hasn't called in any trouble yet so I think your alright. He will bring to the station his report once he sees you arrive on the driveway. Simply call the station and let them know who you are to send him back out to watch the farm. Got to go as I got a briefing to get to."
"good luck Ben. Stay safe."
"you as well my friend." hanging up the phone I pulled onto the street that lead to my home and their new place of residence. "quick few things to say. First be wary of the humans and the anthro's that you see are not dressed. They have been causing problems for a while so I wouldn't be surprised if they caused problems."
"problems mister?" Dinky spoke up from the lap of her mother.
"quite so little one." I spoke in a kind tone. "and... all apologies in advanced should I call any of you property."
"how come? That is what we are." Derpy spoke up as I gave a small sigh and spotted my farm in the distance.
"because its unethical and horrible for what has been done to all of you. All because of my damn parents and their want for power." I spoke up. "I'm going to do my best to treat you all like you should be but there will be times my family comes that we will all have to put up with them." saying nothing else as I pulled back into the dirt driveway I gave a small smile before giving a sigh of relief seeing that my property was still standing. I could see that the company's workers were still doing what they were doing. I was worried though when I saw that everyone wasn't on the porch... and that got me worried. "girls... stay in the truck." I spoke up as I reached over Zecora surprising her and pulled my gun out of my glove box. "don't come out unless I come over and let you know..." not giving them a chance to answer or respond I got out of the truck and slammed the door shut on accident as I held my gun in my hands. "you!" a nearby worker stopped and paled when he saw me. "where are they?"
"t-th-they were ordered into the barn sir!" he quickly spoke as he began to sweat. "nothing we could do! Orders came from higher up!"
"how high up?!" I threatened and took a step towards him as he tripped and fell onto his ass.
"the top sir!" giving a small growl at the implications I quickly rushed over to the barn and opened the door with my gun raised... only for my anger to nearly break the limit as to what I saw.
"why the fuck are you here..."
"oh come on Lance..." she spoke as she slowly approached him with a seductive walk. "are you really going to be like this?" that sly grin on her face pissed me off to no end.
"when you come here unannounced yes." I spoke to her through gritted teeth. My gun still pointed at her as I noticed all the other people in the barn besides the anthro's. "so why are you here... Big Sister."
