Spring Time Remedy

The red in the dirt.

I finally wake up to see them all lying on the dirt, not moving at all. Not even breathing. I look at the massacred bodies of my loved ones scattering the dirt, the pup sniff their mothers and fathers in hopes that they are still at least breathing. I feel remorse for them, I had grown with their parents just as much as they have, some are even mothers and fathers now, a wonder how it happened so fast. The creatures step over the alpha and twords me. I growl as much as I could without whining for their passing. I can't imagine what the pups must be feeling right now.

I wince as the things kick me in the stomach and then pull me by my fur.

"Yep, this is the one." One of them said, tightening the grip on my long fur.

"We could get a real reward for turning her in you know." The other chipped in. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me. To my pack. I bite down hard on the thing's paw once more, sinking my teeth into its unprotected flesh. It yelps in pain as I draw blood from its pad. It then proceeds to hit me across my muzzle tossing me around like a twig.

I bounce back up and pounce onto it, aiming for its neck, a life for a life. Since they had killed my whole pack except for the pups I will make them both suffer before I end their miserable and petty lives and claim their souls as my own, if they even have any.

"You make me sick!" I growled at them piercing the things skin digging into its neck, my muffled voice was followed by a swift kick to my head, sending my flying once more.

"shut up you little brat, don't make this harder than it has to be." It said grabbing me again by my fur and tossing me into a small cave that was cold and dark. I smelled something that I knew I wasn't supposed to smell. I barked as load as I could throwing myself against the side of the cave. I then started to get weaker and weaker with every time I hit the side, I suddenly couldn't stand any longer. I fell down on my legs barely conscious. Whining softly. But it was too much, I eventually slipped into my subconscious not knowing what was going on around me.

When I finally awoke I was in a strange place, one that I had never seen before in my life. I was draped in something soft and warm, with a fluffy and padded case of something propping up my neck. I looked down to see wires and tubes hooked up to my arms. I went white with fear. Tearing out the things from my arms with my mouth. I winced as I pulled out the first one It was so painful, but I soldered on carefully plucking them out one by one. Someone then came into the room. A thing that looked like the ones that had attacked my pack and left barely anyone alive.

I ripped out the last tube and charged at them, getting ready to pounce and attack. The thing stepped back, and blocked its face. I then realized that they were afraid of me. I stopped and circled them snarling. It sighed and tried to approach me carefully, not wanting to be hurt.

"Listen,"It said. "I'm not gonna hurt you, I just wanna help." It then lowered its paw down to my shoulder blade and lightly tapped it just like the alpha did. I kept on growling letting it know that if it pulled anything funny I would rip off their hand. It then caressed the side of my muzzle and face, wiping away dirt that had been there for who knows how long. I nuzzled up against its paw it felt nice, it was soft just like the alpha's fur.

The thing then proceeded to check my ears and nose with a metal stick that I thought contained a little bit of the sun.

"That's it, good girl." It said in a comforting tone. Patting my head. It then left out from where it came from, leaving me a bit cold and lonely.

That night I opened up the thing they call the "Window" and howled my lungs out, crying for my losses, I know that I shouldn't have warmed up even a bit to one of their kind. Even thought it was not the one who hurt my pack, they are all just evil to me. I cried until the sun had risen far out of the west sky, looking like honey dripping out from its nest. I sat there looking at the sun until one of them came in and slammed the "window" shut. Then lectured me about hanging out the "window" and that I could get hurt if I did. Not that I cared or anything, if I get hurt or not isn't my biggest issue. The things that come in and out of my room keep calling me Emma or Ms.Sandvic for some reason. My name is just Maiyun, why do they keep calling me names that are not mine.

It angers me every time someone calls me those names, they are not mine, they must have me screwed up with another thing or a different person of their kind. I often sit in the small corner that has a stuffed toy, that I like to toss around and chew on. It makes me feel a lot calmer. But whenever the things step in the room and catch me chewing on it they yell at me, claiming its bad for my dental health. Whatever that is. One clear night while I was there someone entered the room with the person who was caring for me first. They looked a bit old and I didn't like their scent that much, so I growled at them. The shorter one looked up at the taller one and began to leak water from their eyes. The taller one who I thought was its mate was also tearing up along with them. Just who and what are these creatures?
