Will backed up when he saw the other one coming his way, the clanking of chains rattling round in his ears, and there was little he could do to resist against those strong hands. Feeling himself being yanked back and his skull made contact with the hard ground, vision blurring as he lay there in a state of dizzying stupor. Aware, briefly, of the other sort of bindings now being attached to his other leg and wrists... The horror of that frightened him to no end.      “Please!... Don’t--- do -- this to me, please!” Snapping up, trying to roll over, but the restraints were too restricting on his frame. There was nothing Will could do, and nothing he could say to this wicked ape to let him loose. Pleading words falling on deaf ears, and that grin he could see on such a scarred face was nightmare-fuel for any. All went black for another time, the stress of this madness having rendered him unconscious, and the accidental blow to the back of his head from a few moments prior helped with that... Only when it felt like years passed in his head, did weary eyes finally peel open, and he was vaguely aware of light outside in the boarded shed-window. From this spot on the floor it was difficult to really tell much else. Hours more went on, and he was starting to become all sorts of hungry and the need to drink. Thoughts on if he were to be left here, forever, crossed his mind, but only briefly... For the door to the shed was slammed open, and he tried to stay calm about it.... The thud of familiar steps, though heavier and not of ones he knew... The monster had returned.       “K--koba-- Hey, I’m really not cut out for this kind of        treatment. Come on, give a guy a break!... I’ll leave --        I won’t even come back to this part of the woods, nor        any wood, again! Please, just let me go!!” || @apesfollowkobanow ||

Will’s vision had blacked out, and whether or not he realized why this had happened - was beyond his recognition. The first thing he noticed, when coming back to consciousness, was of the dim lighting of the moon outside through the window... A boarded off location, but what was more pressing to him was of the fact he was literally being kept in place by chains wrapped around his ankle. The most complicated sort of knot, as well as what looked like a lock fit for a key was at it’s end. His heart sunk.       “Wha---what’s happening to me?! What...” Looking up, hoping that all of earlier had merely just been a dream - and this was the nightmare part of said dream... But when he saw the shape in the far corner, his terror was renewed, but he did everything in his power to remain calm. To remain steady. Holding up a useless hand towards the creature, as if pleading with the gesture.      “Koba --- Let me out of this, please... I didn’t        do anything to have this done to me!...” Even though he said it, something about his words always seemed to tick off the simian even further... And it was something he wished to not have to witness, up in close-quarters again. And that’s when it hit him, to a whole other point. Resentment... for what we did to him, isn’t it...      “Koba, please...-- I-- On my life, I mean this!       Please, hear me out... I am  s o r r y . What we,       we humans, did to you -- To your kind...       It was wrong, all of it... But I beg of you, please... I just...--” The words dying on his lips, his chest feeling heavy, as if he were about to start to cry... But keeping that back, as well. Holding it in for as long as he could, but the silence was ample evidence enough he was so visibly shaken by this turn of events. I need to be strong, and yet here I am almost about to bawl like a child... Biting on his lip and staring up at the scarred ape with his pleading determined gaze. || @apesfollowkobanow​ ||

When his back hit against the nearest tree, Will felt a short streak of terror running down his spine, and he felt sweat already starting to bead on his forehead. There were times when he thought his life would have ended, past flings with post-war bands of goons, or those that would back-stab him because of his niceness... Too much of a good person, at least that’s what his wife would tell him... Now, she’s gone, too... And there was just this last hope to see Caesar -- To make amends for his failure to be there for him, to protect him from any harm.       “Please--- Koba, I... I’m -- I have to see him.          Please, just let me get a glimpse of him --          T--Then.. I’ll be on my way. I won’t even talk to him!” His heart was thudding louder in his chest, and he could practically feel the spear being inches from piercing past cloth and flesh. It would have been easily his last moments, and he was pleading to have one last look at the one thing in his life that could make him happy, again. Wondering, for a few seconds, while his life was on the balance of this ape’s line of emotions... Wondering why he was getting such a hate-vibe from this one??? And then it hit him, after a few more moments of staring wide-eyed at those scars. The lab... that day when hell was set loose on the world... The day we gave Koba the same sort of stuff, which undoubtedly turned Caesar into how he is... But... The accident - the misstep in our procedure... The harm I’ve seen the other lab-workers do onto Koba, here... He---     “Koba, please... Why.... -- Do you hate me this much??      I’m... I’m so sorry, if I’ve hurt you. Honest to God...” I don’t think Apes -- Do these kind, if there’s more of them, have a deity?? How am I supposed to even know?! Here I am hearing the second one in my life speaking!! It’s utterly mind-blowing!     “I swear -- I’m not that way, anymore. I never wanted to     bring any of the apes harm, back then...     They -- I fought against it!        I swear to you!” || @apesfollowkobanow ||

Will saw the movement of that spear being brought up to him, and he only kept his arms out and tensed... Bracing for the impact of imminent death, and still his mouth moved when he realized that he didn’t want to die. For who would, unless all the hope had left one’s heart?! Luckily, for him, there was still that spark of it left...       “Nonono--please!!! I--Idon’t---I don’t mean any harm, I swear!” The point just stopping right at the edge of his shirt, feeling the tip cutting a slight mark across the fabric, and he cringed... But kept those near-terrified eyes on the simian, and attempted to bring his calm back... Heart thudding frantically as he then heard that voice.... It was harsh... One of the most frightening things he’s heard, and nothing at all like Caesar’s had been, if memory served. No, nothing like his, at all!      “......I--okay-- um--- Okay..!..It’s okay...--.....” The shock was evident on his face, but he had to try and convince the other that his intentions were not to disrupt whatever it was that had been going on for all of these years... Hell, he didn’t even know if the apes were even alive - after the warring broke out!?! It was almost a miracle, really!!!  Hope came flooding back into his eyes, then.      “Y---you have to be mistaken... ---Wait...        So, he is alive??? Caesar’s still---” Cutting himself off when he saw the insane glare from the creature’s highly expressive face, and the man took a small step back, trying to keep calm... Needing to, even though his heart was soaring with that prospect that after all these years -- his precious son, so to speak, was still alive and kicking!! It had him wanting to bound away with his imagination, of a fateful reunion that he thought he’d never get....      “Look... I’m.... I just want to see him, please...       I’ve got no one left...! He’s... He’s the last family,       I have, Koba... You have to understand me, please...!” || @apesfollowkobanow ||

Will had heard a sound, which startled him out of his own self-depression on not finding his... Well, what can even describe someone like Caesar? Friend? Son?... Definitely family, but now?? Now, what would he be? Would he even recognize me?? Turning away from the tree he had covered his face with, dark brown eyes scoping around, trying to find the source of the noise. It was faint, but he had definitely heard a branch or something, right? Looking up into the canopy, seeing olden leaves falling lightly, as if they had been disturbed. Or perhaps, it’s just the wind... Maybe I am hearing things... Maybe Caesar’s not... not around anymore, and I’ve ventured out here for nothing...

Just as his hopes were about to give out, another sound was heard, and this time he glanced to his left. Heart hammering in his chest, thinking now that perhaps it was not even what he came to find?!--- But then a shape made itself seen, and it was something familiar! Yet, still shrouded by the dark of evening’s dimming light.

       “Caesar????...” Definitely the shape of an ape! - Stepping forward with a big smile on his face, and only halting when he realized something was wrong... That this ape was larger, and not the one he knew close to his heart. In fact, to his almost-horror, it was the one with the scar. Eyes widening at the realization, and he immediately stilled, going silent for a few moments.         “............................Koba....!” Uttering the name on a breath, which could have been mistaken for a silent prayer -- It was clear enough that his hopes had been dashed away with a sense of fear, and knowing full-well as to which ape this was... The scars were unmistakable, and he could only imagine what fate was in store for him, now. Holding out his hands, in a manner that suggested he was meaning no harm towards the ape, and hoping the message was coming across.        “....Koba, hey!... Do...do you know where Caesar is??? If he’s... Is he...” Motioning to sign with his hands, because he was not sure on if this one could make any words. Like my boy had... I cannot believe it!! He spoke!... He was home... But is he still home?? Why had only Koba come to see me??...       “...Is he still... around...? I know it’s been... quite a long time, a few years, but...” || @apesfollowkobanow ||

Will had been desperate... There were years of travelling, anywhere to get to a place of safety, and yet -- With the death of everyone close to him, minus these new people he’s attached himself with... All things led back to San Francisco... And he found himself back in the woods of where all of this began. Yet, to his eyes, things did not seem the same... Every step he took, the forest seemed older - wiser - and far more dangerous than he had remembered. Needing to step away from his band of friends, for a long while, and thinking that perhaps -- Just this once -- that maybe there could be a hope??...  I saw them go this way, all those years ago... I saw Him... I have to try??...

       “Caesar!” Giving a shout, hands cupping over his mouth to make it louder, before folding them tightly in his jacket. The weather was quite cold, and he felt himself shaking with it to the bone, but feeling so hopeless all of these years since then. This was the one thing he was hoping could be real... -- He must be alive, right?... If not, then I must really be wasting my time...?        “Caesar!!! Can you hear me?? It’s me!...         Caesar, please - If you’re out there -- I...” Oh, who am I kidding?!?! I’m talking to ghosts, is what this is!! Kicking over a rock, after a long while of trying to search for an endless hopeful notion... Hitting his fist on the nearest tree, and were those.... tears....? Fresh on his face, and something that he had thought dried up long after Grandpa died... || @apesfollowkobanow ||
