A Human in a New World 2(rewrite): The Start of a New Life

Chapter 8: The Manor to the East

It was cold, dark, and dreadful within the stone cell. The sounds of painful groans were faintly heard, as the door providing entry to the cell, being a clad iron door, opened, and thrown into the cell was a fox, about the age of 18, as he landed with a thump and groan. His fur was a bit bloodied and matted, being a orange red color with white details. Laying on the floor for a bit, regaining his strength, wearing a battered tunic shirt and pants, he would soon begin to get up. Giving pained grunts, he would sit against the wall, resting as best he could. The place was a prison, a prison for what he wasn't sure. All he remembered was pain, being filled with whatever it was the owner of this place injected him with, and being hungry, so so hungry. He tried to remember how he got here, but as he did he felt his head begin to hurt slightly, his mind feeling like a muddled mess. WIncing slightly at the pain he would stop his thoughts, when he heard the sound of someone breathing raspily within his cell. He wasn't alone, as in the darkness something stirred, its breathing soon sounded like metal grinding on metal. 

A bit scared the fox got up, backing away from the sound till he felt the door behind him. With no way out, he watched the darkness as he soon saw a skinless hand, covered in muscle, sinew, and tendons, large claws protruding from what seemed like fingers. Going from what would be assumed to be the pointing finger, each one descended in size, getting smaller towards the pinkie. The thumb being a little bigger than the pinkie, a long claw protruding from it also. As fear filled the fox, covering his mouth, uncertain if what he was seeing was real, he soon heard whatever it was sniffing. Remaining quiet and still, the creature soon exited the darkness, sniffing the air, and what he saw made his blood run cold. The creature was skinless, with no eyes, the top half of its head showing its brain, its maw filled with razor sharp teeth. It crawled on all fours, the showing muscles contracting and relaxing as it moved. Its hind feet having smaller but similar claws to its hands. Unsure what to do, the fox tried to sneak past it into the darkness, seeing as it had no way of seeing, to his knowledge, began slowly hugging the wall, careful not to make a sound. At first it was easy, but then a clang was heard, the feeling of a loose pipe hitting the foxes foot. DId it come from the wall or ceiling it wasn't there before, the fox thought, but before he could get that answer, it didn't take long for the creature to screech and before long, jumping on the fox, tearing him apart, blood soon painting the stone wall.

In the corner, a camera watched, the screams of the fox echoing through the prison, as up in a office of sorts, a man sat, having been watching the ordeal of the fox, since he first entered. He was a wolf, his fur mangy, a few bald patches covered with linen wraps covered his arms and neck. He looked sickly, his eyes a bit crazed, a long scar going from his muzzle up and to his forehead. Lost in thought, the sound of boots on wooden floor sounded in the room, as the wolf turned in his chair. The boots belonged to two fully armored persons, wearing heavy tactical gear from head to toe. A sidearm sitting in a holster on their hips, the wolf smirking.

"Thank you for providing our experiment with a meal," the wolf said, their voice deranged with a crackly tone, "but it seems our little test failed as he didn't survive long."

"What shall you have us do sir," one of the two armored people asked.

"We need to refill our subject pool again, and the local area isn't cutting it," the wolf replied, as he turned back to the monito, next to it a laptop which he typed on a bit, "luckily, I found a place that has caught my attention." Saying that he soon pulled up a picture of a school, the school looking large, more of a campus than just a regular school.

"The school is having a test of new education, and with it being so new and filled with possible new subjects to test on, I need you to go and collect who you think will work perfectly," the wolf stated as the two nodded, before one spoke up, taking something from their pocket.

"Sir, if I may, there is one we already have in mind," they said, the wolf turning with intrigue before handing him a picture, the picture showing a human, the name Blake at the bottom written in pen was shown, the wolf scratching his chin, his intrigue getting the better of him, "the last report we had on him was him attending the school you are sending us to, a fine subject for your experiments."

"Indeed, but will he not be well guarded," the wolf asked leaning back into his chair.

"From what we have seen, he is not, we should be able to grab him and several others by the end of the week, as long as nothing complicates things."

"Good then be off, as we have a tight schedule~"

The two armored people nodded, before leaving, the wolf chuckling, as the night continued on, for his experiments are hungry.

Author: Hey guys, sorry for being a ghost for awhile, but I got super busy with stuff. Hopefully you enjoy this really short chapter, but I got some exciting news. Today I will also post the first chapter of a side story to this series. It is much more NSFW than this one so be aware. Regardless, I will do my best to keep chapters pumping out more regularly than of recently.
