Little Red [ON HOLD]

Puck

Chapter 9:

An eternity passed, or it seemed, before I was let out of the bag again.

Scratch that, I was thrown out. Into a cage. In a drafty basement.

How pleasant.

Dmitri sneered as he saw me try to find my bearings in the small cage, my eyes adjusting to the dark.  

"This is the perfect home for you, isn't it, Shifter? A nice warm comfortable room for the outsider." He spoke with venom in his voice as I tried to awkwardly turn around in my cell, my body barely small enough to fit, even as a fox. He walked out after jabbing me in the side with a hot fire poker, laughing, and leaving me in the darkness.

After cleaning my wound the best I could, my torture started once more. He took me out of the cage, almost gently, and that frightened me more than being abusive.

"Change into a new animal, Shifter. I want some more fun."

I hesitated, and he lunged at me, causing me to turn into a large grizzly bear. He laughed darkly, and quickly morphed into his wolf. Before I could move away, he had knocked me on to my back, and clawed at my stomach, my arms and legs; anything he could get to. I roared in pain as he slashed me through the face. I panicked as I tasted blood. He bit me hard on my leg, and I changed into a small dormouse, looking for some type of protection. Fury lit up his eyes as I escaped through a crack in the small window of the basement. His roars and snarls shook the ground as I escaped towards the clearing.
