As i entered a snowy opening the sun shown bright and made the snow glimmer and shine i looked up a saw the source of the smell from earlier . A man looking to be a hunter huntched over a small fire with a meat rolling over it my mouth drooled over the thought of food in it i had been walking for a day and a half now and was pretty hungr. I stepped forward in attempts to not stardle the man but.
Crack! I looked down and saw small stick split in two under my bare feet
Hunter-"who goes there?....oh no a beast!"
Hollow -"wait sir i just.."
But it was to late the man had already gotten up abruptly stumbling into the woods in fear i watched in confusion and joy as he disappeared from my sight i then stumbled eager to eat i took the meat of the fire not even cooked all the way and ate it i moaned in pleasure as the food entered my body it made me so happy to actually be eating.
"Hey little fox what are you doing around these parts?"
I stopped eating realizing i wasnt alone i was to busy eating i never noticed the group of beast now surrounding me.
Hollow-"umm sorry if this is your part of the woods i was just."
"Just what? passing by"
I looked up and saw a wolfman his eyes a bright amber and his hair short and scrapy like he hadn't washed it in days. Fear filled me as i realised he carried cages and weapons with him he was no reagular beast he was a beast hunter.
Beast hunter-
Beast who are rejected or leave there clans for rule breaking or independence who hunt and sell other beast for money and fame and like animals that hunt in packs they hunt in groups 5 to 10 beast.
"Well i see you know who we are atleast but don't be afraid we are not going to kill you but you'll want to die"
He then kakled as he then took his large hands and dragged me to one of the cages i screamed begging them to let me go i cryed as they carried me to there den.
Den-
Is a base of operations for beast hunters used as a home/prison for the beast and ther slaves to sell mostly short tirm for most slaves until they are bought by traders or merchants to be sold more to rich nobles or royalty.
We entered the dark dusty cave and all i could see was prison cells filled with different beast and creatures with faces of pain and saddness i feared mine would be too lifeless and dead as theres.
"Little fox your new home"
I looked to the open cell in front of me filled with hay and one bucket i then thrown in i head first as went in the door locked and shut behind me.
Hollow-"let me out let me out please i beg!!"
"That won't work we've all tried that"
I turned to my left hearing the small squiky voice coming from the creature in the cell next to me
Hollow-"who are you?"
"I am dit I've been here for awhile i am a elf nice to meet you and you are mister fox?"
Hollow-"oh sorry Hollow is my name and how did you know i was a fox by the way?"
Dit-"the eyes dead give away buddy"
Hollow-"what my eyes are they red? Do i look dead?!"
Dit -"pfft no dumb fox there blue like blue blue like a clear sky no beast has had eyes that pretty in all my years of life"
Hollow-"really? How old are you then Dit?"
Dit-"a 150 about i cant tell maybe a year older its been awhile since I've seen outside and i can't tell what time of the year it is.
Hollow-"wow elfs live long and its fall by the way "
Dit-"thank you mr.."
"Hey shut up you two!!"
One of the guards banged on the bars connecting us together we flew back in fear not knowing what they would do i sat there playing with my hair thinking of what i was in for. My slowly grew wet with tears as emotions flooded my mind and brought pain to my body but slowly falling into a deep sleep.
Hollow-"May be carefull ok"
May-"i wil big bro dont worry" watched as my sister skipped away stopping to smile at me until red blood dripped from her neck my vision blurred as red covered the sky.
May-"why did you leave me big brother?"
-----
I woke up covered in sweat , tears filling my eyes as i sat there on the hay of the cell crying and thinking of how i left my clan for what this a cell and some slavery no i wasnt going to i wipped my tears as i got up i went over to the look to inspect the hole.
Not caring if the guard was around i shoved my claw into the door of my cell trying to pick it open.
Dit-"hey what are you doing up they haven't even.. Stop! Please!"
Hollow-"no my sister and my clan need me to live free i need out ok i need"
Clank!
I looked at the cell door as it creaked open i then got up not careing what Dit said i was on my own no body owned me i ran through the den out to the cold opening of the den i ran forward feeling as tho i could feel the snow already on my bare feet and the wind in my hair.
"What a little slut we have here"
I stoped dead in my tracks as the sound of the rough wolfmans voice lingered right behind me. No how no one was there in sight i couldn't even hear him at all.
"Lets have fun i was going to wait but a punishment is needed little fox"
Hollow-"no please...."
