Battle Born Vagabond

Chapter 2: Happy: GGBA Titan: November 20, 5005

I wake up again, still unable to use my legs they have a break in them that won't heal. They did that my second escape attempt the leader threw a hammer at me to catch me. Subsequent escapes, I did not get very far. My night vision hasn't worked since birth so I can't see in the room I'm in. I can't eat the food feet away from me, and I can't reach it anymore, I do not care as I lick a tear for hydration. I haven't eaten in over a week I think, I can't tell the days anymore. I hear the men laughing at something they are saying I can't understand them enough, though, I only speak broken English hearing it, I just don't understand.

I have my mother's eyes, my father's hope I share my brother's dream. They took that from me. No one will save me; no one has tried. But my nightmare is not over. I've been praying for an assassination. I'm a prince; I don't belong here. I suffer, I'm broken. Tired, wasted, I've surrendered everything. I start to pass out, and I begin to smile because I can no longer consciously feel the pain. Losing consciousness is bliss, this is my paradise.

I wake up again someone grabs me by the extensive shrapnel wounds in my scruff. I let out a weak involuntary yelp as I'm suddenly being dragged out of the 2 meters by 2-meter room I was in for the last few months. I don't know where I'm going, but I have a burst of hope that it will be better than where I was. My best hope is getting shot in the head and dropped over the side, I would love that so much. I get a burst of hope, maybe it will be into a lake or river, I can be baptized for the Lord one last time and get a bath, my body will also not waste away, feeding the fish. I tear slowly rolls from my right eye as I almost crack a smile from the burst of hope.

I wake up again, I don't remember passing out. It's dark, and I can hear the rapid wind swirling around me in succession from above me. Still, have no idea where I'm going. I can also smell my butt, I can tell I'm not anywhere I've been before but on the plus side I'm not bleeding anally anymore, and the cut from when they tried to cut off my red rocket is healing. Whatever I'm in is rocking me back and forth, I'm getting tired again. I feel like I'm falling. I know I'm just falling asleep. I'm happy for my transition away from this world, I'm ready for my final bath.

I wake up again a full human, female, is rubbing my body lightly with shampoo all over. Talking with another female but I know it's about me pointing at different paperwork and parts of my body. The other lady starts with a brush on my mane and legs pulling on chunks of my fecal matter and fur at a time. I don't like it, it hurts, I snap, but I can't move fast, and she giggles at me as she steps back. I see the first human again with a hose and attachment it's shooting water. It's warm I love it, I smile and a tear tries to escape from my eye, I'm so thirsty.

I'm waking up again, and a fully human male is sitting next to my enclosure. He says something that I don't understand. Then helps me drink from a bottle I'm unable to hold my neck up on my own then he puts some in his hand with my head on his lap, I'm able to lick it from his hand. It tastes like meat, but it's liquid I don't understand. But it also tastes so familiar. I also feel lovely from the water earlier, but I'm still unable to move, but I also know there's water in this liquid as he continues to refill his hand as he doesn't care I'm licking his hand and spilling blood all over his pants.

Another human walks in she has a piece of my technology in her ear she looks right at me and I understand her perfectly, "Our medical staff is not equipped for your kind. We are sending you back to your base to be treated by veterinarians there." She throws another earpiece to the guy next to my enclosure.

I respond back to her, "I don't know you are, but you are nice, I love you, I'm going to take a nap." My tail wags twice as the tip slaps the floor looking up at her and the man who's lap my head is in.

I wake up again, and everything around me is a shade of red that fades into white going from the center and getting wider. I cough clearing my throat, get comfortable and go back to sleep with the sound of a long beep in the background. I fall asleep with a smile, I say with a smile to the man from earlier who is now brushing me, it feels wonderful as my tail wags slowly, now panicking giving commands to other humans as I struggle to speak struggling to breathe between each breath, "No. More. Pain."
