Chapter 8

I woke up. Everything was blurry. I tried to get up but I collapsed again. I was on something hard and when I thumped it, it had a strange sort of ring to it. It was metal. This ment I had to be in a cage. I turned my head and I saw another object. It was moving but I couldn't really make out the shape.

"Soooooooooooo theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey gooooooooooooooooooot yooooooooooooooooooou tooooooooooooooo?" said a voice. It was very slow and clearly femenin. I shook my head yes and everything moved real slowly.

"Yoooou dooooon't seeeeeem oooook. Buuut yoou muuust be feeeeling beeettter soon" I waited a couple of seconds. When everything was normal I looked at the other figure. It was a black shewolf with gray paws, had a bit of gray at the end of her tail, her bangs on her head were gray also, and she had a dark blue cloth on her tail. She also had a collar around her neck. I shook my head that I was better to her.

"Ok first I should tell you about me so you can trust me. Also I am very lonely. I have been in here by myself for weeks now" I could see that she was indeed lonely. Her fur had lost it's shine long ago. I tried to talk back but relised that what ever was on my muzzle was still there so I couldn't talk. I let out a whine.

"Oh they left the zip thing on didn't they. What was it called? Zip, zip, zip, zip, oh zip tie. It has like a little thing in the end that holds it together. Doesn't it hurt? They put it on way to tight! I mean when they first got me I was in tears. I mean they were like crazy mean to me"

I let out a grunt that indicated she could tell me about herself. "Oh ok. I guess since you can't talk I will. Ok first don't try to escape. It hurts like hell. Ok on that note you can't change into you human form for this building surpresses that ability. Also don't try to break through the bars and exit the building. See this thing around my neck" She indicated to it with her paw and eyes. "It is the cause of the pain. They make these for dogs but these ones are stronger just for us. It keeps you from barking, howling, or leaving. You make a loud noise and it shocks you. You try to exit the door and it shocks you. You also have one around your neck. Go ahead make a loud grunt just to see for yourself" I made a grunt and I felt a shocking pain around my neck. I let out a whine of pain.

"See? It hurts a lot. Second, don't attack the humans. They will put you down like they did my brother. Third, they are going to run experiments on us. They want to know how did we survive the blast. All I know is that my pack was living in this city under the protection of are hiding as humans and then the blast came and killed the whole pack while only my brother and I survived. It was so weird. I can see it happened to you also. And finally last but not least. My name is Shadow. Also don't worry. After your first test there going to feed you and then leave. So be happy, it's just about time for testing" She lay down in her cage. I stared at her. She was a wolf but she stayed under the control of the humans.

"Hey I also heard from one of the dogs what happened to you. Your amazing. Even with the wound in your side it took three sleeping doses to totally knock you out" I remembered then walking up as they grabbed me and feeling another poke but I just thrashed again and then I felt a poke again and then finally I slept and ended up here. "That takes some incredible strength and spirit if you ask me"

All of a sudden the door opened to the gray room we were in. The human's walked forward. They opened my cage. I tried to bolt for it but then I was hit with the high pitched noise again. "Oh I forgot to mention that. If they know your trying to escape they use that for it stops all wolves instantly"

All I could think was, "Thanks for the heads up" The human grabbed me by the collar. It choked me for a second but I got up. They attacted a leash to it and pulled me along. I followed reluctently. They took me into a white room. Someone picked me up and layed me on the table in there. I got back up though to show I wasn't affraid of them. Then one of the humans picked up a suit thing and layed the middle of it on my back. I growled but I felt a shock in my neck again. I had to be more quiet. Then the worst part wasn't there.

When the human brought the sides of the harness down I felt a ton of jabs in my sides. I wanted to help but I couldn't. They zipped it up under my chest and belly. I looked at the harness. It had tubes coming from it. They also stuck wires to my chest and head. Also my belly were the harness didn't touch. Then I heard a machine start and very slowly a red liquid started from the harness and up the tubes. They were taking my blood!!!!

I started to feal kind of weak. I lay down on my side. The needles were already in as far as they would go so it didn't hurt any more then it already did. I felt tired and weak. I wanted to vomit but I couldn't. Even if I did it would end up in my mouth. Then a human walked up from behind me (remember I'm still scared and forever will be of humans) This made me jump and I slipped off the table.

I didn't drop to far. I felt a lurch as I fell and I felt more pain in my sides. I was hanging from the machine, from the tubes, from the needles, from my body. I was in an increasing amout of pain. I yowled. This caused the collar to shock me and make me yowl even more. The louder I got the more the pain from the collar increased. I thrashed a bit. The humans were panicing. I let out a loud moan of pain.

"Someone get the vet in here now" yelled a human as others tried to stablise me. I kicked and thrashed. I then relised that one of the needles had gone into my wound. This was causing me the most pain. I yowled higher and higher as the pain from the collar increased. People were rushind outside from the noise. They were trying to get help. The zip tie on my muzzle held firm but the noise was unmastakeable as true pain.

I saw a young laty in a pure white suit walk in with a horrified look on her face. She picked me up from the rest of them men and set me on my side on the table. The men had just been trying to relive the pain from me but they hadn't helped much. I let out little squaks of pain as the collar continued to shock me. The lady looked at the collar and quickly took it off.

"This is bad during testing! See this. It is made to penetrate there thick skin but it still hurts them. You are required to take it off during testing!!!! See that creature. He cried in pain and was attacked for it. In there world they learn from pain and mistakes. Now he thinks that if he cries in pain he will be hurt" The lady put her head in her hand, "When will you people grow up and take responsiblity? Unhook him, put this back on" she handed on of the people the collar, "and take him back to his cage!"

I was unstrapped and collared and taken back to my cage. I was lain in and I was in pain. Shadow just looked at me horrified. I looked at me. I understood why. I was covered in my own blood.

Chapter 7

I woke up from my sleep. I felt really tired and I was in pain. Everything was blurry but I could feel something around my belly. I heard movement by the area of the window. My eye sight cleared and I saw Sasha sitting next to the window. Some light flickered in. The last remaining room was very dim and was sort of yellow.

I checked what was around my body. There were some white bandages around my torso. There was a thick red spot on my side. "When you fell you were stabbed it looks like" I turned my head back to Sasha. I wagged my tail to show that I understood what it was for. My middle area was in pain so it hurt to breath. "They've been outside watching the building all day long. It's so weird. Those men have been watching it as if they are waiting for something. They all have theses scary tools. Some of them look harmful"

I tried to get. Sasha jumped up and grabbed the fur around my neck. "No you must lay down Lisk. Your greatly injured. I barely stopped the bleeding. You don't want to tear it open do you" I pushed against her. "That's right I remember now. From on of are talks I remember you saying something. What was it. I think you said that wolves are never scared to die. Well I'm scared to lose you" I started to shake. I laid back down.

"OK good. I'll keep a look out. In the meantime eat this" Sasha laid a piece of meat in front of me. "It has some medicine that should help with the pain at least" Sasha walked back over to the window to watch the men. I ate the piece of meat. I tasted the medicine. I wouldn't have had a choice. If Sasha would have tricked me I wouldn't have been able to stop the medicine, because I wouldn't have tasted it till after I swallowed it. I continued to eat the meat. It tasted really good and it was nice and fresh and juicy.

I finished the meat and looked at Sasha. I had never seen a more serious face. She was determined to keep me safe so we could both live free. She knew that if I was killed it might be the end of the in tire wolf race. I soon felt better but I remained laying down. I was glad for the rest after the fight for life. I healed slowly over the day and when night fell me and Sasha fell asleep even though the men hadn't left.

The next morning I woke up. Sasha was yet again by the window watching. She noticed me wake up and she got down from her post. She walked over to me and took off her backpack. She pulled out a number of items. She pulled out a bottle, a needle, some bandages, and the muzzle from a few days ago, then she took out anther bottle. She looked at me. "OK first I'm going to have to put you mostly asleep. Then I'm going to muzzle you again for you have strong teeth and I don't know if the pain killer that I'm also going to inject you with will be enough. Then I'm going to change your bandages and take the muzzle off OK?" I gave a slight nod of approval. She grabbed one of the bottles and stuck the needle in the lid. She pulled back the plunger and took it out. Then she stuck it in me, put it in, and pulled it out all in the same motion.

I growled at her but remained calm. I slowly started to feel sleepy. Then everything blurred. I felt something on my muzzle and knew it was the muzzle. I then felt a poke in my behind. It was the pain killer. Then I felt her start to unravel the bandages. Every time it passed my wound I winced and let out a muted yelp. Then I felt the last piece come off. Then I felt Sasha put the new stuff on. The new stuff felt wonderful against my wound. It soon felt better. Then Sasha stopped tugging on the bandages and I knew she was done. Then she removed the muzzle.

I let my tongue hang out. I was tired and I wanted to just sleep. Then I felt Sasha's hand on my head. I slowly fell asleep.



I woke with a start. I was on my feet in an instant. There was a bang. Then there was another bang. I swung around wildly. I ran for the door. I changed into my human form and turned the doorknob. I ran out the door as fast as I could in my human form. I hadn't seen Sasha in the remainder of the building so she must have left real quick. I ran faster as I heard voices.

"Hurry, get the wolf. Get him. I turned a corner. Then I turned another. The world seemed to be just a big blur. Then I saw a figure in front of me. It was posed with something. I swung the pole at me. It was a human with a net. I jumped over him and I landed on the other side. I started to run again. I ran faster and faster as the voices started to catch up with me. I passed an alley and as I passed it I felt something grip me. It was a net. A man had swung a net as I ran passed. I was now in the net on the ground. I turned into my wolf form without even realising it. Then men caught up and one of them used a stick to hold my head to the ground. I was face first in the dirt. The stick is called a Y-pole. An instrument used to catch live wolves.

I felt another on my limbs. I heard something in the distance getting closer and louder. I felt a poke in my side. Then I heard the voice clearer. "No stop! Can't you see he's not fighting back" I saw Sasha's face. A man whipped around and grabbed her. I jerked. My head cleared up really sharp for a second. I fought the drug the humans had injected into me. I fought against the hold of the net.

"Hey we need someone else over here. This guys pretty tough" I felt the pull of the net strengthen. I pushed harder. I could just barely see Sasha. I fought harder. I had to protect her after all she had done for me. All of a sudden the net snapped. I jumped out of the humans grip and bounded toward the human that had Sasha by the arm. I lunged for his neck and sank my teeth in. His hand let go to protect his neck but it was to late. I brought him to the ground. I let go and looked at the other humans and then Sasha. She had a look of horror on her face. I quickly changed to my human form.

"I'm sorry" I said, "He was hurting you. I told you about wolves. Were very protective. I was only protecting you after all the stuff that you did for me"

"Lisk" said Sasha, "Run!" I had a bad feeling. I was hit all of a sudden with a high pitched noise. It knocked me over as I cringed in agony as the sound burst through my head. I flashed for a couple of seconds. I went from human to wolf to human to finally wolf. I fell over. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I felt Sasha shake me but I couldn't move. I was stunned by the noise. I saw her look up and run. Then I felt a strong hand on my muzzle. I immediately started to thrash.

"Hurry. Get me the something to tie his muzzle shut with" Someone rushed over with something. They strapped it around my muzzle and pulled it really tight. The human let go of me. I thrashed and tried to open my muzzle. I tried to pull it off. I heard laughter from the humans. All I could think was, "Cruel beings" Then I heard, "OK end it" Then I felt a kick in my side. Right on the wound and I passed out from the pain.

Chapter 6

Sasha had left again to go get food and she had locked me in the building. It's not like I was bored though. I could explore around with the items in the building. I messed with a chair. When you sat in it it rocked. I was rocking in it a bit to hard though and it fell backwards. I let out a yelp of surprise as if feel backwards.

I shook myself. I switched back to my wolf form. I was kinda tired and I was going to take a nap as I waited for Sasha. I walked down to the first floor again. The floor seemed to be darker then before and it wasn't late in the day. That's when I heard something outside. I walked up to the door. I could hear voices and some machinery. I backed away from the wall. I was wondering what was happening when I heard a splintering sound from above. I raced upsairs. I walked to the fifth floor and was welcomed by a flood of light. A huge hole had been knocked in the wall and had taken off the roof!

I changed to my human form. I walked to the remainder of the wall and peered around. In front of me was a crane with a wrecking ball. Down below were several people. One of the people was the oldest of the Dronum boys. I felt a surge of anger. He must have found out that me and Sasha lived here and that she left me in here. He knew I was a wolf so he turned me in. Now they were attempting to scare me out of the building.

I caught a movement with the top of my eye. The wrecking ball was coming my way. I jumped out of the way right as it smashed were I was standing. The floor caved in carrying me with it. I landed on a piece of wall. I ran for the stairs. I had to get out before I got smashed. I was on the second floor when I heard a crash. I heard another as the debreise hit the floor above me. Then I heard a moan and a crack and everything went dark.



I woke up. Everything was spinning and it was dark. I was trapped under the debris. Then I heard a crunch as the wrecking ball destroyed the last floor. I was smushed and hit with more debris. I relized at this time I was in my wolf form. I was bleeding and I was starting to drool blood. I heard another crack. I hadn't fallen yet. I heard another as the building caved in on itself. For a breif second I could see light. I seemed to hover as the debris fell. Then I was hit with another piece of wall as it fell and the light was sealed off.


I woke up again. The debris had clogged the ceiling of the first floor. I had a perfect exit to the front door. I tried to move. I couldn't I was pinned under the piece of wall. It was suffecating. It hurt to breath and I couldn't move anything except my head and one of my legs that was sticking out. The rest were pinned under my body. I tried to pull myself out with my left forleg. It was no use. I had to wait for them to come for me. But I was terrified to see the light fade from the window. They weren't coming for me. I lay my head down. There was nothing I could do.



I heard a creak. It was pitch black. I opened my eyes. I had fallen asleep after a while. There was a little moon light shinning in. I looked at the door. Sasha slipped in. She gave a chough. The air was full of dust. She pulled something out of her pocket. She turned on the flashlight. She swept the flashlight across the debris. She saw me at last. She let out a gasp of horror. I looked around. I found out why. There was a puddle of my blood under me. I swallowed. I wondered where I got hurt at. My belly or my back?

Sasha walked over to me. She neeled down. "I'm so sorry Lisk. I shouldn't have left you. They always do stuff like this when I'm gone and I can't protect you. Are you in pain" I let out a whine. "How come you don't change into a human" I let out another whine. I had tried earlier but I couldn't concentrate on it. "You can't can you" I lay there. "I'll take that as a yes. List I'm sorry but I have done my homework to. I am going to have to muzzle you" I started to whine "No. I'm doing this for when I pull you out. If your in pain you'll bite me when I help you out if I don't. Then I can't help you at all" I calmed back down. "Only for now. I saw what happened earlier and I had to wait for them to leave so I went to a store and spent some of my money and bought a dog muzzle" She pulled a leather muzzle out of her backpack.

The muzzle was designed to just fit over my muzzle and clip near my neck. It was like a giant bandage going over my muzzle as she slid it on. She clipped it behind my head near my neck. I tried to open my jaws but no matter what I couldn't get it off not even with my one foot. I nodded to her. I was ready.

She first grabbed my forleg that was pinned under me. She pulled it from under me and I let out a muted yelp. It was cut up and bloody. She grabbed me right under my shoulders then and pulled. I felt a pain course through my whole body. I tried to open my jaws and bite her but it didn't work. I thrashed my front legs to try and get her to stop but the more I tried the more she pulled. Then I came out. As I came out the wall collapsed right were I would have been. I lay there. Sasha slowly took off the muzzle and put it back in her backpack. Then we both passed out.

Chapter 5

Sasha had left again but now she had me inside the box and she had blocked off the exit. She really wanted me to stay there but she also didn't want me to get hurt like last time. I let out a yawn. I was so bored. I was also starting to get worried. What if she didn't let me go when it was time to leave? Would I be stuck with the human forever?

I heard the object in front of the box get moved. Sasha had moved it and she was beaming.

"Come on. I want to take you somewhere" I got up and followed her. He walked past many blocks and many people. I felt unnerved to be by that many people at once. No one seemed to notice at all. then we finally reached the building that she was taking me to. She lead me around the back. She opened a door and we headed inside. Inside was just an empty building. I looked at her.

"Well go on. This is are new home. There are five stories for you to explore and no one can hurt you" I went and started to explore. The first floor was mainly just pillars. As I went up the floors it grew. First was pillars, then furniture, then boxes, then paintings, then mirors. I went downstairs. Sasha was sitting on the floor setting out the few items she owned. She had a brush, the rope from when I was tied up, some food, and a little clock. She looked at me while I walked up to her.

"Well go on. I want to talk to you" I looked at her puzzled. "Oh come on I know your a wolf. I figured that out when I first met you. Come on show me your human form" I let my tail fall inbetween my legs. Then I transformed. Sasha gasped. She recognised me.

"Lisk. Your the wolf"

"Yeah" I said.

"Oh my god. I can't belive I didn't see that"

"Most people wouldn't"

"Well I can at least tell you the lastest news on there wolf hunt" I sat a little more up for I was leaning on a pillar.

"Go on"

"Well they are not going to put down the guards around the city till they catch you. So it looks like your going to be stuck here for a bit"

"What if those boys tell someone that you are taking care of me"

"Oh those guys. How come you didn't change into your human form"

"Because I don't want to scare everyone"

"Yeah. That's a good call"

"So what did you want to talk about"

"Stuff" Then we talked about almost everything like how it feels to be a wolf and how do I live under those tough conditions. We didn't hear the oldest boy outside gasping from excitement.

Chapter 4

I was still a pup so I took on the size of an adult dog. What would happen when I reached full growth? This question ran through my head all the time as the days pasted. Sasha continued to take care of me but I ran into a few scraps. I kept on changing into my human form when she wasn't around and I would always run into her as one point or another. She would always say hi and continue on her way. If I saw she was on her way back to the box I would take the long way around and beat her there. I sometimes cut it really close.

As the days continued the image of her seemed to be burned into my mind for a wolf doesn't remember usually over a week for they don't really care for memories. She had light brown hair and she always wore a blue shirt. She had very worn out pants with several patches. She had a change of shorts for hot days. One of the really warm winter days that we were lucky enough to get I saw the really bad scare on her left leg. I walked over to her and licked it.

She petted me and said, "That happened a long time ago when I was separated from my family. The house we lived in had caught fire and my Dad in an attempt to save my life bundled me up and threw me out the window. Then the house exploded and glass and wood went everywhere. A piece flew at me and cut my leg. I was only five at that age but I learned how to live on my own"

It was quiet a good story. It made me kinda sad for Sasha and it showed we had a lot in common. We had both lost are parents at a young age. I felt something on my head and I looked up. Sasha was crying. I licked at her face. I knew I should at least stay with her till I was older and I could live on my own. I bet I could live on my own at the same time this girl really could. All she needed was company.


The days pasted on quietly for it being a city. But one day all wasn't well. I had been gone for a bit for a guard had caught me without the piece of rope on and had chased me for a bit. When I came back Sasha tied me to the bar again even though it wasn't my fault. I now knew it was a gas line to the building and I often listened to the his going through it. But this time the rope hardly protected me from the other humans.

I was sleeping and I heard voices. The same voices from a while back. The kids from a couple of weeks ago turned a corner. They were all laughing and smiling. They had food in there hands. They must have stolen it. I didn't care if they stole or what ever but when the oldest one saw me his smile faded and he dropped the food. The others followed his gaze. I could see he had a bandage on his hand from the bite I had given him.

Then all of a sudden he got an evil look on his face. He motioned for the others to come closer. They whispered very quietly so I couldn't hear. Then they all turned and faced me. They all pulled something out of there pocket. Some of them pulled out a tool of some sort and the last one pulled out a length of rope. I didn't like were this was going one bit.

The older middle aged one had the rope. He walked toward me very slowly. He made a knot in the middle of the rope. I growled. I got in the lunging position. The boy still walked closer. He was getting to close for comfort. He double knotted it to make a bigger knot. My breathing quickened and my heart raced. An evil smile crossed all the boys faces. I lunged at the boy.

The rope holding me to the building was just long enough to reach him but it wasn't that rope that had stopped me. I had lunged at the boy and he had brought up the huge knot he had made. My muzzle closed over in and I was cut short. With the shocking stop I was stunned. Just enough time for the boy to rap the rope around my muzzle a few times. Then the others took out some rope to. I became un-stunned but it was to late. The boy had made a really good knot around my muzzle and I couldn't pull it off. I shrank into a corner. The boys walked forward.

The oldest one kicked me and I lay down and rolled over from the pain. I was being submissive. They knew I was the wolf and they had apparently did there homework for they took this position to there advantage. They tied my front legs together and my back legs together. I struggled and whined but the knot muffled my whines so they came out as a very very low squeak.

Then I saw what there tools were for. They weren't tools but they were weapons. They each picked up a rock and loaded there slingshot. Then they continuosly shot there rocks at me. I attempted several yelps but they only came out a sqeaks and squaks. There was no escape. After a few minutes of torture they left me tied up. I tried to move but it hurt to. I was covered with marks and bumps. I tried to move a bit closer to the box. I managed about three feet in half an hour. The boys had really gotten me tied up. I gave up after a while.

Then that wasn't the least of my worries. Sasha had tied it close enough to the box I could retreat into there if it rained and it started to pour. I was tired. hurt, tied up, and soaked. Then the crows came back to hurt me even more. Crows have really bad tempures and can hold a grudge. About ten of them during the down pour came and started to peak me. I swished my tail and I thrashed to try and scare them but they weren't fooled. They pecked my head and my body. This continued for several minutes intill they flew off. I heard a squel. I couldn't see who it was for they were behind the box which ment they couldn't see me.

Sasha's face came over the edge of the box. It did have a smile on it till she saw me. She let out a gasp of horror.

"You poor thing. Who did this" I let out a whine that ended in another squeak. She lifted up my lip to see why I squeaked. She thumped her hand against the box. "The Dronum boys did it. This is there mark. Any animal that they find almost defenseless they do it even more by muzzleing them. I'm so sorry I should have just let you wander. I'm going to do this slow. First your feet then your muzzle" Then she set to work. She untied me and then she hugged me. She gave me lots of food that night.

Little did I know that she was going to have a even bigger surprise for me.

Chapter 3

I walked down the street. I didn't like looking like a human. It felt so weird. I was limping for the run from the guards had caused me to run into some stuff when I turned the corner and it had cut my leg. No one seemed to notice. They were to busy with there everyday life.

I was a white male with black hair. My eyes were still amber colored. Just like a wolf. I wore a yellow T-shirt and blue pants. I thought it was a weird thing for me to get as a human to wear. I didn't think it fit just right for me.

I wondered what was I going to do now. The city was surrounded and I was a wolf. The odds didn't look good. I didn't want to stay in my human form. Maybe I could fool some kid into taking me home with them so I could lie and wait for it to be over. I knew I was faster and stronger than the humans but I didn't want to confront them. I wanted them to just think it was a scared stray dog.

I would have to find the perfect human though. One that would not see me as a wolf and as a stray dog. Then they would take me in and protect me. I spotted the girl from the other day. The one that had given me the meat. I walked into a nearby alley and went back to being a wolf. I walked up to the girl and put my head under her hand. She looked at me.

"Well hello there little guy" I whined for further affect. "Well what are you doing on you own. Don't you have a mom" My mom. My mom I remembered was poisoned. She didn't make it past the first day. This caused me to whine even louder. "Oh you don't have a mom any more do you. Neither do I. I know I can take care of you. I saw what happened the other day with those crows. I felt bad for you and then I stumbled and dropped the meat. I guess it was fate that brought us together" She neeled down, "Now you wouldn't be that wolf would you" I was shocked but acted calm. "Oh I know you aren't. How could you be. Wolves are mean and nasty. Your nice and cuddly"

Then she bought what she was buying at the stand that she had be waiting at. Then we walked off.

A few minutes later we were at her 'home'. It was just an alley with a medium wooden box in it. The box was her home. It could have fit two or three adult wolves in there so there was just enough room for us. We climbed in and she brought out what she had bought. It was three pieces of meat. She handed one to me. I ate it right away. The other two she cooked. Then she ate the one and stored the other for later.

"Well what do you think. It's not all that but it's probably better then in between those piles of wood" It was slightly warmer inside the box then it was outside and if it rained we were out of it. I felt safe for now so I lade down and rested.


The next day I woke up the girl wasn't there. But I did hear some of the guards and I quickly turned into a human. The two guys walked right past me and didn't even glance. I was relived. I stood up and stretched. I wanted to walk around a bit. My legs were aching to run. I wasn't used to being around humans this long. It was usually a day or two and I was gone. I heard a sound behind me and I turned around. Standing there was the girl.

"Well hi" She said.

"Hi" I said.

"You haven't seen a white dog have you" she asked as she peered inside the box.

"Oh yeah he walked off that way. I think we was worried about the two guys"

"Well what can you expect. He's a stray. He's probably doesn't like humans very much"

"Yeah, that makes sense"

"Well anyways my name is Sasha"

"Well my name is Lisk"

"Nice to meet you"

"Ah you to. Well I got to go. If I see your dog I will send him back to you OK?"

"OK"

Then I walked off. I turned back to my wolf form and waited a bit. Then I walked back over to the box. She was sitting in it and was glad to see me. That day she kept me there. She tied a piece of rope around my neck and tied it to a bar. She didn't want me to disappear and get lost is what she said. It did me good for along the day several guards passed me and noticed the rope so they assumed I was a dog. So far so good.

Chapter 2

I woke up in between the two piles of wood. I could hear voices though nearby. They were human voices of course but it was unnerving. If felt like they were getting closer. The legs of the humans stopped right infront of me. I looked up. Standing there were some boys. The one was saying something. He said, "Yeah I just found this stray dog here. It is huge" The boys looked down at me. The smallest one was shaking.

"Are you sure that is a dog" said the biggest one.

"Well I don't know I didn't see it's eyes before"

"It's looks like a wolf" said the biggest one.

"It's can't be" said the next shorter one with glasses on, "They killed all the wolves a couple of months ago. Totally exterminated them. That's why the world is screwed up. It only took two months and the world looked like this. We all remember that"

"Yeah your right" said the biggest one again, "It might be a wolf hybrid so it didn't die" I knew he was wrong. My mom and dad were both pure wolf.

"Well do you think we should take it home or call the pound" said the smallest one.

"We should take it home and then call the pound so then it won't have time to run away" said the biggest one. He put on a leather glove and reached for me. I bared my teeth and growled at him. "Your not very friendly are you dog" He reached closer. I opened my jaws ready to strike. The glove reached over me for my scruff and I lunged forward and sank my teeth into his arm. Blood squirted from his arm as I let go and ran for it. I could taste his blood in my mouth. The kid screamed with pain as I ran. Then just barely I heard, "That's no dog it is a wolf" My secret was out.

I hid for a few days in a hole. I was out of sight but I could see and hear everything the passing humans said. One day a pair of wemon were walking by. I heard one say, "What do you think of that surviving wolf" The other one said, "It gives me the jebes"

"Yeah well now there thinking that the machine didn't work on all of them and there might be some survivors from the blast"

"You don't say"

"Yeah. The wolf that bite that boy was a pure white one"

"Well then it should be easy to find shouldn't it"

"Yeah but the boy that was bite said that it was one hundred percent wild. It didn't hesitate to bite him"

"Gosh"

"I know" Then the two wemon moved on. This news scared me. I was going to have to leave again for I wasn't going to turn into a human. It was pathetic! I got out of the hole I was in and started making my way for out of town. Then I saw something that was a devestation. There were guards on the very inside of the forcefield. There would be no escape. I was surrounded and trapped. Then something fell on me and I was tripped over. A guard had run into me and had dropped his gun. A bullet zoomed out of the gun and whissed past my ear. I let out a yelp as the sound of it startled me. The guards then saw me. I turned and ran.

They were soon on me and catching up. Bullets whizzed past me. I dodged left and right. I then made a choice. I turned a corner into a alley and did what my pride so far was forcing me not to do. I took on the apperance of a human. I stood up and acted surprised. The guard passed me and I yelled, "It went that way!" Then I pointed them down a long alley. I was out of the woods for now but how long till I was shot?
