Living Like A Lion-The Year

Chapter 21-No Cleaning But the...

21.No Cleaning But the...

I woke up at five in the morning and hurried to get dress; then I walked down the road to Bob's house and knocked on the door. He quickly let me in and I went upstairs to my new room. There I cried myself to sleep as I dreamed of my dear Anna.

A couple hours later, Bob woke me up with a shock. “Coming sir,” I yelled as I slipped on a new shirt. I ran downstairs and met him at the table. “Here sir.”

“Good,” he replied as he tapped the table. “Now eat.”

“Thanks,” I mumbled as I gobbled down the food.

“Now, I need you to clean the house before supper, when I shall return,” he commanded as he stood to grab his coat.

“Yes sir,” I answered sadly, staring at the ground; then I rushed off to clean, but he shocked me as I left the room. “What sir?” I asked as I reentered the room.

“I wasn't finished,” he snapped as he glared at me. “You didn't do as I told you! You told them!”

“I didn't...OW!” I yelled and fell down from the pain. The shocks seemed to grow worst every time.

“You wrote on the rock! So you are a liar!” he screamed as he shocked me four more times.

“I had to tell them why I was leaving!” I roared as I felt my tail grow and fur crept up my skin.

“No, you didn't!” he yelled as he shocked me again.

“Will you even listen to why?” I pleaded as I glanced up at him.

“Sure,” he answered angrily.

“I got angry and fully changed; then I fell asleep. Later when Anna came in my room and I had halfway changed into that lion-human form. How could I not explain that without telling everything! I promise!” I told as I tried to rise, but found myself too weak. “You must believe! You have cameras!”

“I did see, but I don't believe that you did not tell them everything!” he shouted as he shocked me repeatably until I had crumbled into a ball. “I have changed my mind. You don't need to clean the house,” he laughed.

“Thank you sir,” I replied as I rubbed my neck without hitting the collar.

“Follow me!” he snapped and I happily obeyed until we got into a room with a large cage. “Get in there!” he commanded nastily.

“No!” I roared as I finally turned into a full lion and I started to pounce. I was in midair, when he shocked me again. It was so hard that I tumbled to the floor.

“In!” he ordered as he kicked his foot into my side; so I got into his blasted cage. “I'm your master! I created you! You will obey me!” he yelled with an evil laugh. I roared, but he shocked me; so I crawled into the corner whimpering. “Better,” he laughed. “You can remain there the rest of the day!” he placed a box on a small table before he left, laughing the whole time.

I roared; but as soon as I did, my ears starting ringing from a sharp noise. I paced the cage, trying to be silent; then I laid down to sleep.
