Once Upon A Beasts

Chapter 2

They ended up stopping near a river for a moment where Parker changed back into his human form before then gently touching Amalia's face.

Amalia blushed. "What do you want?"

"Since you're so pretty, I have to..." Parker then picked up some mud and slapped it onto her face, "Make sure that you aren't whisked away by other hungry males," he told her while looking pleased with himself after putting the mud on her face.

An anger mark appeared on Amalia's head as she didn't look too happy about having mud put on her face. She glanced down at the river before sticking her hand into the water to prepare to wash it off.

"If you dare wash it off, I'll claw your face up... And I'll make sure you'll never be pretty again!" Parker told her.

Amalia flinched. 'Considering how violent he is, I don't doubt that he'd actually do it!' she thought to herself. "Geez... Fine,I'll leave it then," she huffed cutely.

"Alright, let's go," Parker replied.

He was now back in his leopard form with her sitting on his back once more as they continued on.

'This guy's seriously freakishly dangerous. I have to find a way to escape once I arrive at the tribe. And hopefully maybe try to find a way to contact my family if I can,' she thought to herself.

They soon came across a beautiful valley, before soon arriving at the village where Parker's tribe lived.

'Oh wow, I feel like I'm at the zoo...,' Amalia thought to herself in awe while looking around as she still sat on Parker's back as he walked into the village. 'Are all beastmen this attractive?'

She continued to look around, while receiving stares from the other males who were watching from nearby.

"Parker, where did you get that female from?"

"She's so dirty!"

"But she smells nice. I like that."

"Look, she's still unmarried. Do you think she's reached maturity yet?"

The other nearby males could be heard saying among themselves.

Amalia suddenly began to feel nervous from the stares she received as she gripped Parker's fur more tightly.

Just then Parker let out a loud roar that ended up scaring the other males into running back a ways.

"Out of the way! Get out!" another voice suddenly demanded, which was apparently a female voice.

Amalia blinked. 'That sounded like a woman's voice,' she thought to herself.

"Hey, look! It's Eudora!"

"She's so beautiful!"

"It's Eudora!"

The other males were suddenly saying at noticing the approaching female.

'Finally! At least the women here should be easier to talk to,' Amalia thought to herself as she watched as well.

"Parker, where did you find this filthy female?" the female known as Eudora said as she sneered at Amalia.

Amalia blinked in surprise as she took in the sight of the females here and how different they looked compared to the males. 'Wow... No wonder Parker thinks I'm pretty. I feel bad for the men here in this world,' she thought to herself.

"I'm the one who picked her up. She's my female, so you better back off!" Parker said in reply to Eudora.

"Parker, you bastard! How could you be like this?" Eudora demanded, "Hmph, there's no way that I'm worse than that filthy female!" she huffed.

"Calm down, Eudora. Our Eudora is the most beautiful female ever!"

"Let's cut him off from now on."

"Parker's the one who's blind enough to reject you!"

Eudora's spouses were suddenly saying to her.

Amalia just rolled her eyes at Eudora's attitude. 'What a stuck-up self-entitled b*tch,' she thought to herself.

Parker just continued walking until they soon arrived at the hut that he lived in.

"You must be hungry, female. I roasted some meat for you. What flavor do you like?" Parker asked her as he now had some meat roasting over a small fire. Thankfully he had clothes on now.

"What flavors are there?" Amalia asked curiously.

"I like pinewood and sandalwood. If you prefer something else, I can cut it down for you later," Parker replied.

'Weird... so flavors here are determined by the type of wood it's roasted with?' Amalia thought to herself as she decided to just go with it for now. "Whatever is fine. Um, do you have any rice?" she then asked him.

Parker froze for a moment. "Don't you dare even think about it!" he suddenly said which ended up startling her, "It's because you females like to eat rice that us males die from fatigue from working in the fields! I can get you whatever you want, but rice is impossible! I despise those entitled females!"

'Is farming really so dangerous that it can kill those powerful beastmen?' Amalia thought to herself. She sighed. "I guess I won't have it then, but it's really no reason to get so worked up over it," she assured him.

"Good girl," Parker said while patting her head.

Just then she suddenly winced.

"What's wrong?" Parker asked worriedly.

"It's nothing," Amalia replied, her hand going down to her ankle.

"You're hurt!" Parker suddenly noticed worriedly while gently taking her foot in his hand, "I apologize for failing to protect you."

Amalia blushed. "I-I'm fine, really," she tried to assure him, before suddenly finding herself being scooped up in his arms as he immediately rushed her out the door and over to another hut to get her treated.

Ugh!  Anyone else hate Eudora?  There are also a couple other females later on (aka a certain purple haired tiger female, and a certain blue haired peacock female) that I hate too who are just as bad, if not worse, than Eudora.  Anyway, I wish this manga had longer chapters then they wouldn't have to be so short.  Oh well, enjoy!  ^^
