The Keepers Collection

by Pepper North

  Payi was amazed as the scribbles solidified in her brain and she could read the Nrantian words. “Dr. Irte, Specializing in the Care and Training of Humans.” She translated slowly. “What does it mean by training, Oreg?” she asked suspiciously.

  Oreg simply pressed a hand against the door pad and entered when it opened. A number flashed on the wall in front of them, and Oreg carried her to that door again opening it with a press of his hand. Carrying Payi inside, Oreg pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Do not worry, Payi. Dr. Irte is a very skilled doctor. He will take good care of you.” Oreg sat Payi down on a high seat with a back that extended taller than she was.

  Looking around, Payi saw only white floor, walls, and ceiling. There was nothing in the room except for the high seat where she was seated. Somehow this was more intimidating than if she had seen a tray of instruments like she normally did at her doctor’s office. Payi reached over to touch Oreg’s hand, and she linked her fingers with his as she looked up at him nervously. Oreg squeezed her fingers. An opening appeared on the opposite wall where they had entered.

  “Dr. Irte, thank you for seeing us today. This is Payi,” Oreg said proudly.

  “Hmm. I can see how you chose that name, Oreg. She is lovely. Her coloring is almost a perfect match to a payi. Please remove the blanket, and I will start my exam.” Dr. Irte carefully watched as he saw Payi increase her grip on the blanket. As Oreg pried her fingers loose, the doctor observed with surprise, “The little human has already learned Nrantian? She is very intelligent. Or have you been exceeding my guideline for computer training?”

  “No, doctor. She has only interacted with the computer for two lora of training. She quickly finishes the segment for that training and then has sought specific information in language, geography, and anatomy,” Oreg proudly answered as he succeeded in pulling the blanket off. “Payi is both intelligent and inquisitive.”

  “That is a very good sign. Payi, I am going to ask you some questions. If you do not understand, I will turn on a translator, but it is best if you show me that you are learning Nrantian,” Dr. Irte waited to make sure that she understood. When she nodded her head, he glanced at Oreg and then back at the small human on the chair. “Do you remember your Earth name?”

  “Yes, Marnie Watson,” she answered easily.

  “How old were you on Earth?” Dr. Irte asked next.

  “I am 26,” Payi answered quickly.

  “Did you have a career?” he asked as he made notes on a small screen.

  “I had a degree in business, but I had only been able to find a job in a small travel agency. I helped plan unique trips for groups,” she tried to explain.

  “Did you like this job?”

  “It was interesting at first but very tedious. I was beginning to look around for another job,” Payi admitted.

  “This is another good sign, Oreg. Your human is willing to try new things,” Dr. Irte explained to Oreg before posing the next question to Payi. “Tell me about your health back on Earth.”

  “I am young and healthy. I went to the doctor every year for my woman’s exam, but otherwise, I didn’t see the doctor often,” Payi answered.

  “Here, you will see me more frequently. It is important that you are healthy and happy. I will monitor your progress and make sure that you are being cared for appropriately by Oreg. If not, I will arrange for you to be transferred to another Keeper,” he explained.

  Payi looked frantically back at Oreg, “Oh, no. I want to stay with Oreg. Please do not send me to live with anyone else,” she begged.

  Oreg linked his fingers with hers again. He had noticed that she was calmer if she was in contact with him. Oreg said softly, “I will take perfect care of you, Payi, so you will not wish to move to another Keeper’s home.”

  Dr. Irte observed this interaction closely. Already this pair had bonded. Payi was placed well with Oreg. He had been surprised to hear that Oreg had resigned his position as the head Keeper responsible for human adjustment. Now, he understood why. Oreg was committed to this young human female. Dr. Irte was pleased to see that his friend of many years had found his match. Clearing his throat, the doctor interrupted, saying, “Payi, your seat will begin to recline for the examination.” He pressed a button which lowered the back of the examination chair and extended a leg rest to form a flat table.

  Chapter 16

  Almost immediately a purple light in a focused thin line began to run down Payi’s body from the top of her head to her feet. She had frozen in place at the movement of the chair. Dr. Irte watched the results of the scan scroll quickly on the wall opposite him. Oreg also turned to watch the results. He smiled as all the scan tests showed perfect scores for high health.

  When Dr. Irte nodded, Oreg quickly helped him restrain Payi’s limbs to the table. Oreg laid his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. “It’s okay, Payi. The computer has finished its preliminary scan. Now, Dr. Irte will conduct the manual exam. You are restrained so that you will remain in the correct position. You are fine,” he said calmly.

  Dr. Irte began his examination of the small human at her head. He checked her eyes, ears, and nose before instructing her to open her mouth widely. The doctor ran his fingers along her teeth and cheeks before placing a mouth shaped device between her upper and lower teeth. “Bite down, Payi,” he instructed waiting until she followed his instructions. “Open.” He removed the mouth measuring device and placed it in a bin that had slid out of the nearby wall. Almost immediately, it reopened displaying four devices. Each looked much like a pacifier but without the ring.

  Dr. Irte removed them and placed one into Payi’s mouth. It sealed itself to her lips holding her teeth and tongue in place. When she began to struggle to push it out, an almost minty liquid leaked into her mouth. It was so pleasant that Payi ceased her efforts to remove the device and laid quietly on the table. “She responds well to the tranquilizer. I suspected that Payi would like this. I have created additional tranquilizers for your use.” Dr. Irte placed these in a sealed bag and handed them to Oreg. “Place these on the small table behind you. I will send some supplies with you, today.”

  The doctor moved his hands over Payi’s throat to her chest and down her arms to her fingers before he began his examination of her small breasts. Hearing her small sound of protest, Dr. Irte spoke softly to the little human to calm her. “Payi, it is important to make sure that your health is good and to make sure that your responses are appropriate. It is very likely that you will be aroused. That is a good thing. Just let your Keeper and your doctor make sure you are healthy.” He pressed firmly on her left breast with his two hands on the left while simultaneously examining her right breast. He pinched and rolled her small pink nipples and saw her hips lift slightly off the surface of the table. Dr. Irte nodded his approval at Oreg. “She is very responsive.”

  He slid his hands from her small breasts to trail down her ribs and on to her abdomen. Pressing in many spots, Dr. Irte looked at Oreg. “You prepared her very well, but I am sensing a pattern of bowel sluggishness. Did you find that her cleansing required additional time to be successful?”

  “Yes, doctor. Payi retained the cleanser for several lora over the average required time. The result was very satisfactory, but I wanted to ask you about this as well,” Oreg replied with a concerned look.

  “Some humans, especially young human females, tend to have additional trouble moving their bowels. When the additional stress of adjusting to the quobon is added, additional efforts must be added to their routine to support their health. Let me check her internally, and I will give you my directions to treat this.” The doctor moved his hands down her legs and feet. “Everything is normal in her extremities.”

  He pressed another button, and the bottom of the table began to divide in half spreading her legs and folding at her knees. It elevated so that her hips were at the level of the Nrantian’s eyes. Dr. Irte smiled as Payi froze again in place. Then her body relaxed, and he knew that she had bit down on
the tranquilizer releasing additional calming fluid. The doctor ran his fingers across her bare pelvic area. “I am glad to see that you have removed the human pubic hair. This is an important step to maintain cleanliness inside the quobon. I recommend that you leave Payi undressed totally without her quobon for a lora each day so that all her tissues have exposure to the air. If you combine this with exposure to the pinkness, Payi will adapt even more quickly. Humans are very private creatures, so it’s best to begin this when you are alone and then help Payi adjust to being unclothed around other Nrantians and humans.”

  “Payi, I am going to look inside your vagina now. Please relax,” the doctor requested as he introduced a long sensor into Payi’s tight channel. Immediately, an image of her inner tissues appeared on the screen. The doctor moved the sensor around moving it in and out to display the length of her vagina and the condition of her cervix. He pressed a small button and a smaller probe eased through the opening of her cervix and into her uterus. Dr. Irte measured the lining of her uterus carefully before withdrawing the probe and then the sensor. “Payi will begin her human menstrual cycle in three greennesses. As with other females, she will likely be irritable and may experience pain. Keep track of her symptoms and call me if she is in discomfort. I have a new remedy to help young females.”

  Oreg saw Payi turned bright red as they discussed her menses. He had noted that often discussing this health issue was embarrassing to young human females. He again linked his fingers with hers to reassure Payi.

  “Now, it’s time for the anal probe,” Dr. Irte announced keeping it out of Payi’s sight below the level of the exam table. “Relax, Payi,” he urged as he pressed the rounded tip of the probe into her rectum and began threading it carefully through her sphincter and into her intestines. It lubricated itself as it advanced. Again, the images appeared on the large computer. “Oreg, do you see this spot and again, we see it here. I anticipate seeing that with relative frequency through Payi’s digestive tract.”

  Payi could feel the probe snaking deeper and deeper into her bottom. She couldn’t see the display to know what they were discussing, but she bet it didn’t bode well for her. When she thought it couldn’t reach any higher in her intestines, she felt it begin to hum and vibrate. She turned her head immediately to look at Oreg. He still held her hand but looked with fascination at the screen.

  “You will notice that with treatment, those concerning spots disappear. You will not be able to treat the concerning areas deep inside, but the most frequent spots are close to the end of her intestinal tract. I am going to send home with you a sensory probe. You will need to rinse her lower intestinal tract once a day and advance the probe in fully before activating it. Allow it to remain in place for two lora and then retract it. Place it back in the case where it will self-disinfect before the next day’s use. You do not need to perform a cleansing treatment. Just insert warm cuthrim juice and allow it to set in her bottom during her daily nap. When it is released naturally into the quobon, insert the probe. You can see that humans respond positively to this probe. We should see Payi reach her pleasure soon. Yes, there it is.” Both men looked on fondly as Payi’s body clenched in an urgent orgasm. “I will see you back here following her menstrual cycle. Do continue her anal probe treatment each day until I see her again.”

  Dr. Irte patted the inside of Payi’s thighs as the sensor withdrew from her bottom. He placed it in a cleaning slot and pressed the button to lower the table down. As it descended, the exam table morphed back in a chair, and her restraints disappeared. “You have done a very good job here at my office today, Payi. I will look forward to treating you soon.” Before Oreg could remove Payi’s tranquilizer, Dr. Irte smiled at them both fondly and walked from the room.

  Oreg helped picked Payi up from the chair and stood her on shaky legs. He wrapped a fresh quobon around her hips and picked her up on his arms winding the soft blanket around her body. Payi leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes. The stress of the exam and the impact of the strong orgasm had made her sleepy. The tranquilizer in her mouth was the last little encouragement that helped her drift off to sleep. Oreg picked up the large bag of supplies. The anal probe and the cuthrim juice filled it almost full. Oreg smiled to see that Dr. Irte had included the extra tranquilizers as well as additional cleanser and sexual lubricant to aid his oversized neeblings slid into his little human’s channels. He should have known that the doctor would notice everything.

  Chapter 17

  Payi missed the entire walk home. Oreg held her cuddled on to his wide shoulder. He caught himself kissing the side of her face often as he enjoyed the soft feel of her against his fur. Once home, he placed her on her bed and stored all the medical supplies. He prepared a special nutrient-rich formula for her and carried the bottle to her room. Picking her up from her bed, he sat in the gliding chair. Oreg removed the tranquilizer to substitute the bottle between her lips. Slowly, he watched her begin to wake up from her nap.

  When her blue eyes met his, Oreg smiled at her expression of happiness. “I am glad to see you, too. You did very well at Dr. Irte’s office. He was very pleased with you, and I was very proud of you. I am a very lucky Keeper. Drink your bottle, Payi. We will need to make sure your tummy rests today.” He held her close and rocked her slowly as she drank her bottle avidly. When she was finished, he sat her on her bottom on the floor and returned the bottle to the kitchen.

  A loud crash resounded from Payi’s room. Oreg ran quickly to see Payi standing shakily on her feet in the middle of a circle of quobons. “What are you doing, Payi?”

  She looked innocently at him. “I was just going to put on a new quobon. When I reached for the top one, they exploded all around me.”

  “I am your Keeper, Payi. It is my job to change your quobon. There is a sensor in this home that monitors your behavior. You were naughty to try to change your quobon,” Oreg explained to her.

  “I’ve changed my clothes practically all my life. You can’t tell me what to do about everything,” Payi stomped her foot in exasperation.

  “Yes, Payi. I can. It is my job. I will now punish you for your misbehavior,” Oreg said stripping off her wet quobon. He quickly wiped her bottom clean before stretching her over his knee.

  “What? You can’t punish me. That’s not fair!” Payi thrashed her arms and legs trying to stand up but found herself held securely by the large creature with four arms.

  Oreg began spanking her small, rounded bottom. He did not like causing his little human pain, but he knew that this was an important lesson that Payi had to learn. He watched her white bottom begin to turn a light pink and then a darker pink color as she alternatively yelled and then, begged him to stop. When her body hung limply over his leg and tears ran unheeded down her cheeks, Oreg knew she had been sufficiently punished. He sat her on his lap hearing her breath catch as her weight settled on her red bottom. “You must allow me to care for you, Payi. You are no longer on Earth. You do not do things for yourself. I do not wish to have to restrain you when you are not in my sight, but you will force me to do this if I cannot trust that you will follow instructions.”

  “I’m sorry, Oreg. I’ll learn,” Payi promised.

  “Very good. I want you to walk over to the brown circle on the floor. That is the naughty spot. This is where you will stand when you forget to follow instructions. Walk over there now,” Oreg instructed sternly setting her on her feet. He watched her stumble over to the circle and stand cautiously on it. “Put your hands on your head, Payi. Your body is now on display. I will tell you when you may step off the naughty spot.” He sat in the comfortable chair and watched Payi move self-consciously. She was obviously not used to being naked. After a lora, Oreg called her back to his side.

  “Have you learned anything, Payi?” he asked quietly.

  She nodded her head with tears in her eyes. “I am not on Earth anymore,” Payi said sadly.

  “And?” Oreg probed.

  “I’m not in control any
more. I’m really sad,” she began sobbing.

  “I know, Payi. But you must learn that you are no longer on Earth. It is important that you adjust to Nrantia. Now, punishment time is over. Let’s put some clothes on you and go outside. I have a surprise for you,” Oreg said with a smile.

  “Really?” Payi wiped the tears from her eyes and threw herself into his arms. “I love surprises.”

  “Somehow, I knew that, little one,” Oreg said fondly.

  Chapter 18

  Payi was almost bouncing at the door. She couldn’t wait to see what her surprise was. Oreg carefully gripped her hand holding her at a safe distance from the door before pressing a hand against the sensor. He allowed Payi to pull him out of the door to stand on the blue Nrantian trawl.

  “Where is it? Where’s my surprise?” Payi asked excitedly.

  Oreg held her hand in his and led her around the house to see something new attached to the Varitus tree. He had hung this the previous greenness for her while she slept. He didn’t understand the allure of the simple device but Srah had described one to Yoha, and when he had created it for her, Srah had talked about it for weeks. He quietly waited for her to look around. He was interested to see if his Payi would be as excited as Srah had been.

  Payi tugged at the strong hand holding hers. She looked to the left and just saw the normal Nrantian landscape but when she looked to the right, “Ooooh! It’s a swing. I haven’t swung for years. Come to push me, Oreg!” she demanded as she pulled him over to the simple flat seat suspended by two long pieces of some flexible material in the Varitus tree. Payi sat quickly and held on to the ropes. She began to push off the ground and glide back and forth. The blossoms on the Varitus tree smelled so good. This was heavenly.
