It was cramped in the fox's cage. He growled and gnawed at the bars to no avail.

A small cage is one way to keep them from turning human.

He looked around the room, spying a lot of yellow birds of prey, and a few orange ferrets and weasels. The Oranges were in smooth glass tubes to keep them from escaping.

"Yellow?" He whispered through the bars to a hawk with a leather brace on it's leg.

It lifted it's head up, suprised.

"Sabre? How did you-"

The fox sighed, "Yeah, I know I wasn't supposed to get caught. Turns out Nightmare has traps. Is Orange here?" He looked around at the ferrets, trying to figure out which one could be his friend.

"I don't think he's here. Hopefully he can bring reinforcements..."

Sabre didn't think the Oranges would be much help. They had energy, but they couldn't fight.

At least the ones from the village.

The door to the room scraped open to a yellow dripping darkness, held together only a bit better than a normal infected.

All of the birds flinched back as the fox started growling.

Nightmare smirked at Sabre's defiance and picked up his cage, putting them eye-to-eye.

"Are you ready to try some... experiments?"

"I'm going to bite your wings off-"

He could barely breathe, it felt like his lungs were bleeding.

Sabre coughed up more blood, shaking.

What even was that last potion...?

"Interesting. Seems that your body isn't as resistant to bacteria as ours are..."

Wait- he- The fox struggled to get up, ears flat.

"Stay... back-" He coughed.

Nightmare smirked, his mutilated wings blocking out the light. "I have the antibiotic, so if you want to live, you'll go back into the cage."
