Gofer finally gets a job after leaving the "Collective School". I'm sure
you have all figured out where he has gone.

Earth's New Masters Chapter 26 Gofer's Tale Part 9 "That Is Just ADORABLE"

We went back to the house after the Court Martial. Ansulm sat in his easy
chair and turned the television on. "Bring me a beer please Mouse." I
brought him a beer and he chugged it down in a few seconds. He handed me
the bottle and added, "Please bring me two more."

I went back in the kitchen and brought back two more. He guzzled the first
one then slowly finished the second one. I would barely have a chance to
sit down before he would ask for another, and another and another. Soon he
had finished the dozen and a half that were in the fridge.

"I'll haf nuther one." He asked, his speech was starting to become
affected. That had happened a lot when Fred had beer but I'd never seen
Ansulm behave this way.

"There aren't any more Sir." I said gently. It was obvious he was in
distress.

"Ah shudn't be drinkin' this musch..." He apologized, but he didn't seem to
be able to look me in the eye. He leaned back in his chair and closed his
eyes. "Ahm sorry Mouse, I shudda never let that happen to yah." He said and
then he stumbled to his room and closed the door.

Over the next couple of weeks it was pretty much more of the same. Instead
of letting me help him in his office, Ansulm just sent me to the library
every day to keep me occupied. It was becoming obvious that he was having a
hard time facing me after what had happened. He had been taking his failure
hard and it was really making things awkward between us.

About a week after the Court Martial I was sitting in the library working
on some trigonometry when I heard Ansulm on the loud speaker, "Mouse please
report to my office." I put the book back on the shelf and headed toward
Ansulm's office.

I walked into Ansulm's office. He was waiting there with another Shep. I
was immediately in complete awe. He was the most magnificent being I had
ever seen, eclipsing anything I could have even imagined. He was standing
beside Ansulm, who was a handsome, very muscular Shep of about 6'3" tall,
and made him look like a mangy, malnourished feral mutt. He looked almost 7
feet tall (I would find out later he was 6"9" and 275 lbs), was muscled
like a Greek god and had a black and tan coat that looked like it was lit
from within. He had an incredibly masculine handsome face that just
screamed "Alpha Stud". He was beyond anything I could have ever imagined
when I was thinking about my Dog God. If Aelwyn hadn't cured me of my
belief in the Dog God, I would have fallen to my knees right here sure that
I had finally met him. I felt so unworthy to even be in the presence of
such a being, that I was even breathing the same air as him seemed to be an
affront to nature.

My thoughts were interrupted when he spoke to Ansulm, "So this is the one,
'The Trouble Maker'." He said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice and a
twinkle in his dark eyes.

"Yes this is Mouse. If the collective was still in business he would have
been on his way to the "Reeducation Camp" next week as a present for his
16th birthday." Ansulm chuckled. "I doubt if he would have lived to his17th
birthday."

"Well if he comes to work for me, we will definitely have to reeducate
him." He said with a friendly smile. I realized I better be on my guard, I
definitely didn't want to be sent to a Shep reeducation camp.

"Well don't expect too much from him, he is still a domesticated human. He
does test slightly higher than normal for a domesticated human but not
anywhere near as bright as the feeblest feral."

"I won't expect anything too taxing out of him," the gorgeous stranger
replied, "just running errands. Freyja and I desperately need a Gofer
around the White House."

"I would love to get my hands on one of those ferals as a pet, they still
have old fashioned human intelligence, it hasn't been bred out of them."

"I think we will have the government stable enough in a few months for us
to go on a hunt, I'm anxious to get one too. I hear they are great in bed
after you tame them." The visitor added. This confused me, I had no idea
what a feral was. I was so naive then. I was surprised when this Shep god
addressed me directly. "So Mouse, would you like to come to work for me?"

Despite my training I almost showed enthusiasm, but I caught myself at the
last moment. I wasn't going to fuck up this chance by letting him think I
had a mind of my own. I wanted to drop to my knees and eagerly say, "Yes
Sir, I would give anything to be able to serve you". But I responded with a
subdued, "Yes Sir." He looked down at my crotch and grinned. I hadn't
realized it then but I had been painfully erect the whole time I had been
in this Sheps presence. When I realized it and realized that he realized it
I turned beet red. I was sure that I had ruined my chances at working for
him but he just smiled at me, which just about set me off.

"OK Ansulm, I'll take him. I think it is the least we can do after all that
he's been through." Then he looked down at me and asked. "Have you ever
been outside the school before?"

"No Sir." I answered.

"Mouse you need to address him as Master from now on. Do you understand?"
Ansulm directed.

"Yes Sir."

The thought of belonging to this Dog God was something that gave me more
hope than I had ever had in my life. I was just worried that I was setting
myself up for disappointment.

"Don't worry Mouse, I'll understand if you forget at first." There was no
way in hell I was going to forget that this God was my Master.

"You are going to have to wear a collar and leash until I am confident that
you aren't going to bolt from me. Not that you could escape for long, but I
would be worried that a naïve young human from the collective school
would get hit by a car or something. Besides it is something to remind you
that you belong to me. Your records suggest that you have a little bit of a
rebellious streak, so you may need something to remind you." I didn't
bother to tell him that bolting was the last thing on my mind; they
wouldn't be able to drag me away from him with a team of wild horses. And
yes it would remind me that I belonged to him, which would put a smile on
my face every time I thought about the collar. "By the way Mouse my name is
Woden and I'm The Alpha here on Earth, but as Ansulm told you always refer
to me as Master."

So this was The Alpha that Aelwyn had been so desperate to be introduced
to. And I was going to belong to him. Maybe karma really did exist, I
thought chuckling inside.

Woden, as I now had a name for my new Master, showed me a collar. It had a
brass tag with an inscription on it that simply read 'Property of
Woden'. He said, "If you ever get lost just show this to anyone and they
will return you to me." Then he buckled it on me. I tried not to show any
emotion (that was a sure way to get sent to a reeducation camp), but inside
I was so excited that I belonged to this god. Already, if he asked me to, I
would die for him.

As we got ready to leave, Ansulm got down on a knee so he was at eye level
with me. He put his paws on my shoulders and said. "Mouse, I don't know if
you realize how lucky you are to be going to work for Woden. In addition to
being the leader he is a really fine and decent Shep. I was the one that
recommended you so you better not make me sorry that I did. I figured it
was the best I could do for you after failing you so miserably." He
affectionately hugged me and then said, "Good luck Mouse."

Woden then snapped the leash on my collar and led me to a looooong
car. Another handsome Shep, who I later found out was my Master's
driver/ceremonial body guard, opened the back door and my Master got in and
told me to sit on the seat next to him. I sat about a foot away, not sure
if I could control my feelings if I sat any closer to him. I didn't want to
be sent back. The gate to the school opened and for the first time in my
life I saw the outside world. I had looked at a lot of books but seeing it
for real was mind boggling. I think I just stared with my mouth agape.

"I hadn't thought about how seeing the world outside the school for the
first time might be intimidating." My Master commented.

I closed my mouth and thought about it. It was intimidating but also
exhilarating. It made me realize there were so many possibilities and
opportunities, only to be brought back to Earth by a sobering thought. Yes
there were possibilities and opportunities, if you weren't a CBH. But maybe
it would be enough just to serve this Dog God, it was beyond any
possibility I had thought of before.

"Oh come on, come a little closer. I don't bite, well not very hard
anyway." My Master chided me. I tentatively cut the distance in half. My
Master frowned, put his arm around me and pulled me right up beside
him. Despite myself I froze up. My Master released me. "I understand what
you've been through and I want to help you make a new start. Maybe the best
way to do that is with a new name. Before you were a "house mouse" but I
don't need one of those. I need an errand boy to do things when me and my
family need them. In other words someone to "go for" things, so I'm going
to rename you Gofer. Is that OK?" He asked.

I don't know why he asked. He was my Master and he could name me anything
he wanted. He could have decided to name me Shithead and I would have
answered to it proudly. But still at the back of my mind was the nagging
doubt that I always had. Was this just a trick. I didn't want to believe it
was a trick, but until I was sure I wasn't about to let my guard down. "Of
course Master, you have the right to name me anything you like."

"Trust me, I think it will be for the best to help you make a new start. I
am really sorry about what that asshole put you through. I refuse to
mention his name. But hopefully you will learn that very few of us Sheps
are that dishonorable." I so desperately wanted to believe that. But until
it was proven to me I wasn't about to let on how much I knew or that I
could feel much more than a normal CBH.

We soon pulled up in front of a huge white building and my Master said,
"Gofer this is your new home." I couldn't believe it, it was mind boggling
that I would be living here. The driver came around and opened the door for
us and we got out. Just as we got out a female Shep came out of the front
door.

"Gofer this is my wife Freyja. Please refer to her as Mistress. You are to
obey her just like you obey me. Do you understand?"

"Of course Master." Like I would even consider not obeying this beautiful
Goddess. I didn't like CBH females but this was something completely
different. She was so beautiful and noble looking.

"And Freyja, this is our new CBH Gofer." My Master continued.

"Pleased to meet you Gofer. I've heard about the rough time you've had. We
will not tolerate that here. If you have any problems bring them to me."
She said as she pulled me into a hug. I stiffened up at first but it was a
different kind of hug than from the male Sheps and despite myself I felt
myself melting into her arms. Why couldn't I trust that what they were
saying was true.

After my Mistress let me go my Master asked her. "Where are the pups?"

"They're in the rec room, Maid is keeping an eye on them."

"Well I think we should introduce Gofer to them." He said as he opened the
door and led us inside. If the outside was amazing the inside was even more
jaw dropping. It was going to take me a while to figure out where I was in
this labyrinth. We finally made it to the rec room and entered. There were
four adorable Shep pups. The boldest of them walked up to me and hugged me
around the leg. It startled me a bit then I started to worry that I would
hurt the little tyke accidentally.

"Gofer these are our pups. When they get a little older I will expect you
to refer to them as your Masters also. In fact I guess it wouldn't hurt you
to start now so it won't be as difficult when the time comes. I think to
differentiate you should call us Master or Mistress followed by our
names. Do you understand that?" I nodded a bit distracted by the cute
little pup hugging my leg with one arm, the thumb of his other paw securely
in his muzzle.

"The pup hugging your leg is Arnold." My Master instructed. He pointed to
the rest one at a time, "That's Drogo and Grimald and my daughter
Brunhild." They were all adorable but I couldn't help feeling there was
something special about the one clinging to my leg, Arnold. I was afraid to
touch them, worried that I might accidentally hurt them.

My Master must have been reading my mind, "It's OK to touch them, they're
not fragile."

I reached down and started to rub Arnold's ears. He looked up at me, smiled
and said, "Nice man."

Master said, "His name is Gofer."

Arnold looked up at me again and said, "Go fur nice." Then reached around
me with his other arm to hug my leg. I wanted to pick him up and hug him,
but despite my Master's encouragement I was still afraid to pick him
up. Not only was I afraid of hurting him I was worried it would be too out
of character for a CBH. I wasn't going to play my cards until I was sure
things were safe, I had been burned too many times before.

After my Master pried Arnold off of my leg he led me on a tour of the
living quarters finishing off with his room and my room right next to
it. "Gofer this is your room. I need your room right next to mine so if I
need you in the middle of the night for something I can just call you on
the intercom. Don't worry I don't plan on calling you all hours of the day
and night but if I need you I want you to be close at hand."

"Yes Master." I replied simply, but I was excited to have a room so close
to my Master. That was more important than the fact that the room made my
room at the school look like a hovel.

"I had Ansulm pack up your clothes and he's sending them over with whatever
other belongings you left behind." He paused for a second then said, "I
picked up a laptop computer for you. I'll show you how to look up stuff on
line. But mainly I bought it for you to use the education modules that we
teach our pups with. Ansulm said you liked picture books but I'd like you
to do more than pictures. Ansulm thinks you should at least be able to
master third or fourth grade level work eventually."

I couldn't suppress the grin that came to my face, but of course my Master
just assumed it was the typical clueless grin of a CBH, so no damage was
done. To my surprise my Master spent the next two and a half hours teaching
me how to use the computer. I was amazed that The Alpha was wasting so much
of his valuable time working with me. Especially when he had no time to
meet with Aelwyn for 3 years, which made me grin from ear to ear. By the
time we were done I was able to navigate my way to the Education
Modules. My Master decided to start me in the second grade module and I
pretended it was challenging.

"Well I've got you started on this, now you can work at your own pace. I am
going to give you the first couple of days to settle in then we'll get you
started on the job of being our gofer. Why don't you work on this until
dinner. I have a meeting to go to now." My Master told me as he left.

As soon as he walked out the door I navigated to the Trigonometry Module. I
was really enjoying Trig, it was my favorite type of math so far. I opened
the module and realized that my knowledge level took me two thirds of the
way through the module. Soon I was completely engrossed in the module, it
explained everything so much better than the text book did. I was
concentrating so hard on the module that I didn't notice the door open. I
didn't notice anything until I felt a tugging on my shorts. I almost shot
out of my seat but I caught myself in time. It was Master Arnold and now he
was trying to crawl up onto my lap. I didn't know if I should help him up,
but he made the point moot as he managed to pull his way up onto my lap.

He straddled my legs and looked up into my face. He touched my mouth with
his finger and said, "Go Fur Nice." Then he wrapped his arm around me,
buried his muzzle in my chest, put his thumb in his muzzle and proceeded to
fall asleep on my lap. He looked so sweet and innocent I couldn't help but
rub his ears with my right hand and pull him protectively closer to me with
my left arm. There was something special about this pup, but maybe I just
felt that way because he liked me. Of course I wasn't able to continue
working on my trigonometry module, but it felt so good to have his furry
little body snuggled up against me.

I don't know how much time had elapsed, when I heard Mistress Freyja
calling, "Arnold... Arnold...Arnold..."

"Mistress Freyja, he's in here." I called out. Then I realized I still had
my trigonometry module open and I quickly moved back to the second grade
math module before my mistress entered the room. I didn't want them to know
that I was that advanced in math yet.

Surprisingly my mistress knocked on the door and asked, "Gofer can I come
in?"

"Yes Mistress Freyja." I said and as she walked through the door I started
to worry that she would be angry that I was holding her pup.

She looked at her pup asleep on my lap and ordered, "Don't move." Then she
pulled her phone from the holster she wore it on and took a picture of the
two of us. Great now she would have evidence to show Master Woden.

"I'm sorry Mistress Freyja... He came in and crawled up on my lap... Honest
I didn't do anything..." I stammered on the verge of tears. I'd only been
here a matter of hours and I had already fucked up.

She was looking at the picture she took and finally she said, "That is just
ADORABLE." Then my near panic registered in her mind. "Gofer just relax,
you haven't done anything wrong. I'm sure he did crawl up on your lap like
you said. But there wouldn't have been anything wrong if you'd picked him
up. You obviously haven't hurt him." She paused for a moment, "It's just
kind of unusual, he's never shown any interest in any of the other CBHs
that work here. He really seems to have taken a liking to you though. Do
you like holding him?" She asked.

"Mistress Freyja I'm just a CBH, we aren't supposed to like or dislike
things, were just supposed to do as we're told." I said in my best clueless
CBH tone.

"We'll have none of that attitude here Gofer. I don't care what your
training was at that dreadful school. You're entitled to your own likes and
opinions." She said and then she came over to me and put her arm around my
shoulder. I couldn't help but lean my head against her, there was something
about her that I had never had but still missed. "Now answer my question."
She ordered but there was a kindness in her voice.

"Yes Mistress Freyja, it feels good to hold him." I answered truthfully for
a change.

"I was looking for him to make him take his nap. He always fights me when
it's time to take his nap. Would you mind taking a nap with him? You can
just lay down on top of your bed with him." Mistress Freyja asked.

"OK." I replied as I gathered Arnold up in my arms and carried him over to
the bed. I laid him on the bed. I then lay down next to him. He immediately
put his arm around me and buried his head into my chest. His thumb never
came out of his muzzle.

"Thanks Gofer. I'll come back in a couple of hours to wake you up. If he
wakes up and tries to leave just carry him to me."

"Yes Mistress Freyja." I replied, but my attention was still drawn to the
pup that was snuggling against my chest. I put my arm around him and held
him protectively. It was the most human contact I had had since I had been
with Ralph. Well technically not human contact, but it seemed even
better. I soon fell asleep with my little Master held close to me.

Mistress Freyja knocked at the door a couple of hours later. "Can I come in
Gofer?" She asked.

I was still waking up, but I quickly replied, "Of course Mistress Freyja."

She came in and picked Arnold up waking him. "Thank you for napping with
him. I can never get him to stay down for a nap. Maybe that can be one of
your duties, napping with him."

"If that's what you'd like Mistress Freyja."

"I'll talk to Woden about it." She added as she started to leave the room.

As she started to leave Arnold started crying then said, "Want Go Fur!"

I watched him go, his head over his mother's shoulder watching me as he was
carried away, and right before he got out of sight he cried out again,
"Want Go Fur!"
