The sudden realisation that everything was not a dream, shocked me so much that I began trembling and shaking.
"W-where is t-this?? Why did you bring me here? You're not going to abduct me or something, right!? Who are y-you anyway? Huh!!??"
Seeing me trembling in fear, the man before me, who supposedly is called Allister, looked at me with conflicted eyes. I could see pity, kindness, pain and also confusion. Maybe there were some other emotions as well, but I couldn't make them out. "This is the Rabbit clan, you're in my cave and I'm the son of the chief…"
'I could guess that she was different by her behaviour and strange clothes, but what is with this reaction? Poor her, she must've been living a really sheltered life for her to be so shocked. I hope she won't run away and let me take care of her.'
He slowly came closer and carefully held me in his arms. Allister was someone I had just met, but being in his arms had a calming effect on me. "Don't worry, I'm here for you, Xiao Mei."
"Where are my parents? I miss them…"
"After you calm down, I will help you find them."
We sat there on the ground for what felt like an eternity, me with my knees up and he had me between his legs, with my head resting on his broad chest. After some time passed, my eyes felt heavy and I gave in to my tiredness. What I thought to be a dream, turned out to be reality and this feeling of uncertainness struck me with a feeling of insecurity.

Allister carried An Meimei to the bed and tucked her in with a fluffy animal skin. Her angelic sleeping face was very mesmerising and he looked at her for some time, before he began cleaning up his cave. It wasn't that dirty inside, but he should make a good impression on her when she wakes up.
'I have no idea where she comes from… How am I going to find them?'
"Who are you really?" he said and very gently stroked her cheek, as if she would wake up by even the slightest touch.
.

As my eyes opened slowly, I found myself to still be in the cave. 'If only it was just a dream…' By scanning my surroundings, I could see that there really wasn't much in this cave. There was this bed situation I was lying on, a big wooden container which had some animal hides in it, a bundle of firewood and the fire that lit up the cave and kept it warm. One might think that there would be some sort of decoration or furniture, however, there were none at all.
"... Allister? Are you here?" He came running to me as soon as he heard his name. "I am here! Don't worry my Xiao Mei,." His kind eyes looked at me full with worry and it made me feel as if I was his whole world. Despite being in this unfamiliar world, he cared for me and didn't send me away. Since everything was so novel to me, it would be better to make use of his kindness.
'It will probably be quite difficult to return to where I came from, so it would be best to learn about this world as much as possible.'
"Uhm, could you explain more about this world?"
"Of course, my Xiao Mei. There are all kinds of tribes here, some are herbivorous such as the Rabbit Clan or the Horse Clan and most are carnivorous such as the Leopard Clan which we met yesterday or the Wolf Clan.Omnivorous clans also exist, we have the Bear Clan and the Ape clan for example." His eyes glimmered with pride, seemingly proud of his knowledge.
'Hmmm, transmigration into another world, just like those novels I used to like to read… That such a thing could happen in real life… Allister's explanation especially sounded very similar to the beast world type of stories that were upcoming on the internet.' It was a little hard to wrap my head around the whole concept, but there really was no other explanation that felt logical enough.
"And then, uhm, do you also transform? Can I see your beast form?" He seemed a little shy by my request, but soon transformed into a very big rabbit with fluffy white fur and deep ruby eyes. Rabbit Allister came closer to me and I tried petting him. His fur was so nice and soft. "Your fur is so pretty…" His eyes started sparkling.
'A female who likes my beast form!' Allister snuggled his head into my hand and started licking my cheek. A friend of mine told me that rabbits rarely licks them and that it was special that theirs immediately took a liking to me.
"Hihi, your tongue tickles a little." I wiped off the saliva with the back of my hand and gave the giant rabbit a big hug. "Thank you for being there for me… I-I think that this world is different from where I came. My parents don't live here, so it will be hard to find them…"
.
.
After her very short explanation, Allister was relieved because she shared this special information with her. He wasn't really that shocked, since her clothing was very different from what beastmen wore and her shocked reaction when he mentioned the Rabbit Clan.
Her petting and hug however, were extremely intimate interactions which normally only mates would do with each other. Of course, he knew that it was inappropriate to get turned on in this situation, but he couldn't help it. His arousal had already grown quite a lot and he quickly transformed back to his beastman form, in hopes that he could hide it.
'Her skin is so pale and soft… And the feeling of her breasts felt really good as well…'
"Allister…? What is wrong?" An Meimei asked and she carefully touched his arm. "S-sorry, it is a l-little hard for me to s-speak now" but this only made her more worried and she moved to face him. This decision turned out to be a big mistake however, because she now could see his beet red face and his hard on.
"Oh…" and her face turned beet red as well.
