42. Trapped

((Guys, I'm running out of one word-ers for chapter titles XD I need help!! MOAN-CHAN HELP!!!))

Plume POV 

   I woke up in a dark room, a small figure with fluffy ears laying in front of me. Cerf! 

   I attempted to pull him close. I growled as I discovered my hands were tied, I pulled my knees to my chest and slid my arms around my body than pulling Cerf to my chest and hugging him tightly. I heard a soft purr escape his throat and I chuckled ((DO PLUME GIGGLE OR CHUCKLE!? YOU HAD TO GO AND BE DOM DIDN'T YA PLUMERS!? UUUUUUGGGGHHH)) and kissed his forehead.

   I heard footsteps outside, I summoned my wings and wrapped them protectively around Cerf and me, a low growl rising in my throat. A man opened the door and glared daggers at me, my growl growing loud enough to echo. I felt someone curl closer to me and groan, I froze and silenced realizing I was waking my lover. The man burst out laughing and I felt a force against my wing. I shrieked in pain and hugged Cerf tighter, tears filling my eyes as I felt my wing be pushed further then it should go, I pleaded for them to stop to no avail. Cerf woke up and realized I was in pain, jumping out of my arms, tackling the man to the ground and knocking them out with a swift bite to his neck. I froze.

   Cerf can be violent? Or maybe that was an act of protection, self-defense. But still, it had such precision. He ran back over to me and untied my hands, I smiled and pet his head. He smiled back at me and purred in satisfaction. 

   More footsteps came toward the room, I pulled Cerf into a tight, protective embrace. He clung to my shirt, whimpering. Heh, so he's only brave when I'm in need of help. Well, from the information I have now.  A strange person appeared in the doorway with a candle burning bright, they walked behind us and ripped open the curtains. I screeched in pain and hid behind Cerf. The glared at me, "C-c-c-close the curtains! P-p-please!" I begged. They ignored me and grabbed my arm, dragging me to my feet and pulling me towards the door, Cerf went to the follow they glared daggers at him and he whimpered, drawing back and sitting down, his tail wrapped loosely around his legs and his head down. 

  "Stay!" They shouted at Cerf, the wolf curling into a ball of fear and nodding meekly. They began to drag me again. I stumbled after them as they led me towards the door. I tried to pull my arm back before they drug me into the sun. I gripped for my hood to hide in, it was gone! I looked frantically for the last memory I had to my parents then something hit me in the face. I pulled it off and saw my cloak. Quickly tying it around myself. They grab my hand once again and drag me out. I felt anxiety begin to fill my soul as I obediently followed. 

  I saw a familiar village ahead. I felt a flutter of my soul as memories flooded through my head, I looked back. I reached back towards the building we came from for Cerf only to be pushed to the ground, "There! I got you the fucking prince now give me back my child!"  They said someone else pulled me back to my feet and looked me over, they smirked as they I could feel them undressing me with their eyes. I felt violated, they looked back at whoever brought me here, "And his pet?" Whoever this new guy was, the girl rolled her eyes, "Back at my house. You said if I brought you prince Plume you'd give me back Penne!" The girl who brought me here yelled, just hearing the name of my father brought tears to my eyes. The man rolled his eyes, "Bring the damned wolf! I need em both!" They said, the woman nodded and walked away. Comin back with Cerf minutes later. He immediately jumped into my arms and I held him close. Nuzzling my nose into his neck, I felt the back of my cloak be pulled back, almost making me drop Cerf. Then a small boy, no older than five ran up to the woman and clung to her. I turned away and Cerf tried to comfort me. 

{Flashback}

   I'd spent the week in an academy that my family could barely afford. I jumped out the window and sprinted to my home street. I saw Mother sitting outside our home and ran to him, tears falling from my eyes as I clung to his leg. Little five-year-old me couldn't take being away from him for so long. Father walked out and saw my crying into Mother's pant leg. they both freaked out and started to try and silence my crying, I hugged Father tightly and clung to him like my life depended on it. I saw one of the professors from my school run up, "What did you do to him!?" Father shouted holding me tighter, "Nothing! He ran out of the building crying!" 

   Father sighed and kissed my forehead, I tried to hide further into his chest. If I was small enough I would crawl into his ribcage and sit there feeling invincible in my Father's ribs. He looked at the professor and had a small conversation and Mother took me back, snuggling me and calming me down. 

{Flashback end}

  I never did go to school after that. Fathe always taught me from home after I had a breakdown and ran home, almost burning myself to get back to them. I laugh lightly at the memory and feel Cerf wipe my eyes. I turn to him and kiss his temple. I felt someone grab me once again and drag me away. Cerf following at my heels as we walked.
