~3RD PERSON POV~
"How dare you snap at your master?!" an old nobleman yelled at the large white wolf that layed before him, whipped and slightly bleeding. "Tatiana, get a muzzle on her" he commanded the Russian maid beside him as the unconscious wolf began to transform into a girl with white hair. "And put her in the cellar...and get her ready for tomorrow" he said as he glared at the white-haired girl, who was now muzzled and chained. "Yes, master" she replied with her thick accent as she dragged the girl down to the cellar. "Stupid demon mutt" he grumbled.
~___'S POV (THE NEXT MORNING)~
"Ah, ouch" I whimpered as I tried to sit up. "Wait, what?! Why do I have this muzzle on?! I- I can't get it off!!!" I began panicking as I clawed at the cage that was tightly strapped to my face. "Calm down, I'll take it off" I heard the sigh of a Russian woman a few feet away. I walked over to her, trying to stop panicking. "Why did you have to snap at him? He would have left you alone after a few minutes..." Tatiana mumbled as she took off the muzzle. "Maybe you like having that disgusting old geezer touch you, but I hate him!" I growled. "He's going to hurt you really badly next time! He might even kill you!" Tatiana exclaimed. "Good! Then I'll be able to get away!" I spat angrily as she walked away, back up the cellar stairs. "Get ready. You have to be on show today...you're the main attraction, remember?" she said as she shut the cellar door behind her.
I then began to get dressed. I put on a small black dress and brushed my hair before walking up the cellar stairs and out to my display cage outside. My "master" owns a small zoo-like sideshow, where I have to change back and forth between my human form and my demon hound form...and I'll get punished severely, in a "special show" that he holds for drunks and those who get a kick out of torture...so I have to behave if I don't want to take part in it. A few minutes later, the old man walked out of the mansion, wearing his ringmaster costume. 'Damned geezer...' I thought irritably.
"Come one, come all! Come see the amazing werewolf girl! She can change forms at the drop of a dime! We also have a wonderful petting zoo for the children!" he called out with a chuckle. It didn't take long for a crowd to form. "Mummy! Mummy! I want to see the werewolf!" an annoying child whined as he pulled his mother's arm towards my cage. As they got closer, I saw the boy pick up stones. 'He better not throw any of those at me...' I thought to myself a bit worriedly. "Change! Change! Be a wolf, now!" the boy yelled at me. I looked at him in disgust and didn't transform. "Change damn it!" he screamed and threw the a rock at me. I growled as I began turning into my demon hound form, glaring into his eyes in rage. He grinned at me and threw another rock. I barked loudly at him, and then he began to cry. "Stupid werewolf! Ugly dog!" he cried as he threw another rock, which hit me in the head. I howled and jumped at him, fortunately for him, I was held back by the bars of the cage.
Before I knew it, there was a burning pain in my shoulder. I had been whipped. As I looked at the one who held the whip, my blood ran cold. My master's eyes were filled with almost literal flames. 'I'm dead!' I thought as I cleared in fear. "The show is now closed! Everyone must leave" he said to everyone as I changed back into a human, feeling very weak.
Once everyone left, my master walked up to me with a gun, loading it with bullets. He cocked the gun and aimed it at my head. "Stupid mutt" he said as he put his finger on the trigger. I closed my eyes tightly, preparing for death. But when I heard a gunshot, I didn't feel pain, nor did I stop breathing, so I cautiously opened my eyes. I was met with a group of people, all smiling as they opened my cage. "'Ey there. 'Ome on out. We won't 'urt cha" a man with red hair and a skeleton hand said in a friendly tone. A boy with freckles and bangs over one of his eyes gave me an outstretched hand. "Come with us, we'll get you out of here" he said with a big smile.
I could feel water dripping down my face...I was crying...from happiness. These strangers just killed my master, but I'm filled with happiness...they're really getting me out of here...
