Werewolves, Vampires and their pets

Illegal activity

The two owners watched through the front window as the town approached, they had been enjoying their fortama for six months now, with most of that time being on the road, they had been to towns of various types and had some amazing fun, and now they were approaching a town that the town they went to previously had warned them about the trainers, complaining about how they completely ruined their horses, dogs, and humans.

The town had a well crafted sign that read, 'Roan town', a group of people came out to greet them and offered to help them with their bags and even offered them local foods, the people were awful nice and polite, Tax and Quix happily accepted the help and food, they got their humans out of the carriage, the people helped them set up their small room, the human area was an outside kennel and run, there was no human area inside at all.

They slept a fitful sleep for that night, they had never left their humans to deal with the elements, even though its no longer winter, it is summer and the hot air was enough to turn anyone away from the outdoors, they woke up happy to do stuff with their pets, a man came around and took them to a human race course, it was a simple looking course with steep walls to scale and things to crawl under and around, it seemed like a fun thing to do with your pets.

A crowd was beginning to form, they were chatting and discussing winners, humans were placed at a starting area, they were looking back, watching their owners, they looked like they knew what they needed to do, they all froze up as the whistle blew and then took off, it didn't look fun, people were screaming and shouting for either one to win, Quix was confused, wasn't this the reason why horse racing and dog racing was banned, because forcing them to do it just for people to scream and shout at them to win, he knew humans once basically signed the death sentence for animals who are just as intelligent in their own way because they didn't win, and the shouting continued, everyone was whooping with joy or anger over a loss, it was a very wild atmosphere, it was hard not to become apart of it.

Echo hugged Quix's leg, Goldy was curling up in Tax's arms, Rebel watched, his eyes following everyone who caught his attention, the humans owners either looked angry or overjoyed, he watched the humans who were tense and exhausted, they seemed dull and he didn't like that.

They joined in the festivities, there was food and drinks and all kind of fun stuff, it was a whole day event, and at the end they entered the race kennels, they seemed clean, at least where the visitors could go, there was the sound of the blabbering of a frightened human, there was the sound of humans being silent, and silence was a sound all on its own if your listening for it.

The next day one of the trainers introduced himself, he was a strong looking werewolf, he towered over most of his own species and of course being so big, he stood tall over humans, they reached his gut at the tallest, he sat with them outside of the room before inviting them to his place, Goldy brought along her colour changing toy, and when they reached the area it was huge, around 15 acres of paddocks, a dog kennel area and a human kennel area, Goldy loved showing off her toy, she was beginning to annoy the trainer, he had been showing off the human facilities which was just a concrete floored kennel area with one area having a hose to wash them off, this place had a lot of those disciplinary whips hanging off posts.

He turned to the two owners, "your human is not respecting you enough" stated the man, Tax and Quix didn't know how to respond to that,  "I will show you what I have trialed and tested to gain respect from these creatures" be stated, he didn't let Tax or Quix say anything, his voice was his best tool it seemed, he grabbed the whip, Rebel's eyes widened at the sight of it, and then the man without warning just brought it down, it hit the young girls hand, she dropped the toy, she reached up for Tax who quickly picked her up, they still didn't get a chance to speak as she began to cry into Tax's shoulder, "there's no comfort in training" pointed out the man, Tax didn't let her go, his arms protectively held her, "and I can tell that ones going to be trouble" the man added as Echo started to growl, and quick as before Echo received a hard whack on his arm, his eyes widened but he didn't stop growling, the man frowned and went again, this time he aimed for the boys side, Echo emitted a pained noise, he hid behind Quix who protectively stepped in front of him, Echo continued to growl, "excuse us" growled Tax, he turned away and began to walk his eyes hard as he walked, Quix lifted Echo up and carried him out, Rebel was staying in the middle, his body tense with fear.
