Bart continued, "Marcine and Jack will attract wild deer with their musk after completing
their transformation, and after Jack claims his position as head of the herd they should be
able to keep the wild deer as game for the pack. And even if Jack can't can't become chief
buck, Marcine and her fawns should be able to eventually influence any deer herd that
forms into staying in this territory. It might take a year or two, but Marcine and Jack's
genes should influence the deer to begin to stay near us as they multiply. The musk from
our two superior deer should be keeping the herd together and around."
"A year or two?" Jensen asked impatiently.
"I doubt most people pay attention to deer migration besides game hunters around here
Master Father, but there's no need for us to waste staff on deer who will only have a
limited time to use their turn. We could work it into the transformation, but I have a
worried feeling about us making the Transforms too conditional, it might case a loop hole
or a glitch we hadn't foreseen."
"A YEAR or two?" Jensen growled slowly.
Bart inched back a bit wanting to be very small, "We can use the shadows, the phone and
internet to deliver groceries. Besides, it's not like the pack is going anywhere."
Jensen said nothing, which was the closest he'd come to conceding anything. Marcy
meanwhile continued to look at Alice with delight just knowing she'd be fun to have
around!
Marcy's amusement of Alice wearing a dress within the world on the other side of the
mirror was perfectly understandable, after all, the rest of the pack went around naked,
including Alice outside the mirror, so Alice wearing her dress within the mirrors was the
oddity among the pack that delighted the seven year old to no end.
The black furred Jenny was also amused at Alice's addition to the pack, while she knew the
real Alice Liddell didn't have blond hair like in the book drawings, and most certainly was
no wolf, Jenny couldn't help but feel she was besides Alice's embodiment. She almost
wondered if the idea of 'Alice' Bart had put foreword was a gift from her brother to her. It
wasn't really right to call him her husband anymore, and the idea of kissing him felt 'blech'
and not just in the 'boys are icky' way the nine year old thought.
"Hey sis'." Bart called out to Jenny, not wanting to look his father The Big Bad Wolf in the
eyes right now. "How many shadows do we have now? I got four with my group."
"I only got two." Jenny answered slightly disappointed.
Bart scratched behind his jaw says, "Six shadows outta be enough. That means we just
need to create enough Gargoyles,"
"-Grotesques-"
"-Whatever, now we just need to create some gargoyles for security and change whoever
is left the honor of becoming pack members."
Alice clapped her hands, "Oh stone beasties by north, by south, by east and by west!"
Fran and Darla looked at each other and spoke with Fran first.
"If this many people vanish at the estate, questions are going to start being asked."
Darla continued, "We're starting to think it might have been better for us to just move."
"NO!" Jensen said, "We are not leaving the estate after we've already made so many
preparation and plans, end of discussion."
"Yes Master." The twins echoed.
"Let me and my shadows take care of that." Jenny boasted, "Good enough lawyers can
make anythin' seem plausible. Just because we renew our contracts with our servants for
them ta now live on the estate itself is no reason for anyone ta get involved, and with the
majority of their own help, our new pack members and security are gonna legally vanish
into thin air. Though we are going to have ta do somethin' about that gate way too easy to
just stepped through I think."
"Don't forget dear," Kaylee said, "And we're still going to have to test to see if the
experiment with our first gargoyle-"
"-grotesque-"
"-Enough Jenny. To see if our new creature really has ceased to exist in the outside world.
Once we know that, we can either create new pack members with far less trouble, or know
something won't work."
"We can do that with Martha's new dance." Bart said with glee.
"Only on the days and nights of the new and full moon." Jensen said.
"What? Why Master?" Bart said.
"I don't want someone to accidently get turned into a pack member we didn't mean to.
With it being on certain days we can manage it better Bart."
"... Yes Master dad." Bart looked over the list of staff who'd show up soon, "Now, I figure
that we could create five more wolf/dragon g-, living stone monsters. All female who'd
work under our first one. Four can go on the estate's corners and the fifth one can flank
our original... no wait, she can go behind the house. We'll use the 'dare to ask the game
and answer transform' loophole to transform any who chose Dare."
"Darla," Jensen said, "I want you to test to see if our ... grotesque's parents still remember
him or not, I have the phone number."
"Yes Master." Darla nodded, glade to balance out the phone call Fran had made for the
master yesterday.
Jenny inserted, "Remember ta include a token male or two ta service da she-wolves maids
and other servants dat don't suit father's fancy or when he's too busy."
Bart nodded, "Right."
Marcy asked, "For when he's playing the saxophone or playing parcheesi?"
Martha slowly patted her on the head, "Yes Marcy, for when Master is playing the
saxophone or parcheesi with the she-wolves."
Jensen leaned back on a coach in the tea room that functioned as a chair for him, favoring
his bitten leg. He looked at them. Five pups, three red, one black, one glass. Four ladies,
two dirty blond twins with gazongas that would make most women faint. His four breast,
two heads, four armed, three eyes, two tails silver furred brown haired
governess/nanny/nursemaid. And finally Little Red Riding Wolf. All of them totally loyal to
him. All of them living just to service and obey him. And only him. Jensen basked in the
sense of superiority and dominance this gave him.
And this didn't count the six people who were now but shadows of his former parents,
and the two who'd soon be just a buck and doe for the pack's game herd.
He thought back to his school friends, depending on what answer the
gargoyle/grotesque's parents gave, he'd be either able to invite them over for a sleep over
soon, or have to randomly pick them up across town one by one carefully. He knew they'd
all make sexy she wolves for him. And even if they weren't, they'd still make good eye
candy much like the remaining staff soon would.
"The majority of the staff will continue their jobs as before after their upgrades into the
pack, just use the ones who aren't going to really be of much use in order of uselessness
to create the five extra grotesques. Fran, fetch Jack and Marcine if they aren't in the middle
of calling their relatives bye, we'll be using Jack's turn to create the gargoyles, and using
Marcine's turn to change the staff, we'll then use the staff member's turns to alter the rest
until we've gone through the rest."
"Yes Master." Fran bowed, not liking having a separate assignment from her twin at all but
but realistic to know a phone call didn't need two people.
Darla left the room at once to make the fated telephone call that would decide much of
their future strategies. Fran meanwhile went to search via sent the new couple who'd soon
be buck and doe of their game herd. She'd be glade when they got around to taking out
the doors with the staff transformed and the frames enlarged, it wasn't like any of them
were exactly small. Jensen was nine feet wall, the ladies were seven feet tall, and Martha,
who was destine to be the lowest of the low forever and always among them was still six
feet tall now!
Kaylee said, "Martha, take the cubs with you and go upstairs and stay upstairs. Alice is to
act as a look out only. I'd rather not to have to test just how indestructible the game was
able to make her. Marcy and Jenny still have turns but hopefully they won't be needed. I
want them safe and sound until all the staff are in service of Master."
Martha bowed her heads, "Yes Alpha Female."
"Come along girls/boys." The left and right heads say, each arm taking a child by hand
while Alice took hold of both of Martha's tails gleefully following along. Martha led the
pack of wolf cubs upstairs and out sight.
Now suddenly alone, Kaylee feel on her hands and knees and bowed to her Master, "How
is your leg Mi'lord?"
"It's alright." Jensen said, "The twins gave it the iodine, that hurt like a son of a human, it's
not going to get infected I'm sure. I trust you to do the running around until it heals."
"I'll have the twins change your bandages this afternoon." Kaylee said, 'It'll give me an
excuse to have more time to first aid from Darla.' Kaylee thought.
"Come and sit with me Kaylee."
"Yes Master."
Little Red Riding Wolf came up and sat on the couch with Jensen, the delicate antique
slightly moaning under their weight, she wrapped an arm on his shoulder and she pawed
between his legs without a second thought.
"Soon our wolf paradise will be complete and we'll just be able to enjoy ourselves Master."
Kaylee rumbled.
"We'll think more about the future dear once the dust had settled. Kaylee."
"Yes Master." She nuzzled under his chin, "I just hope you don't plan to forget about me
Master as our pack increases."
"You never forget your first one dear." Jesen put one of his thick arms around her waist.
