4 Chapter 4 - Act cute

I'm really bad about updating you guys aren't I?

I mean it's kind of hard to keep track of these events honestly. there just so.... dull. Really not much to tell.

Since it's so boring I might as well make you suffer with me. My day is the same. It has been the same since I came here over a month ago.

I wake up bright and early, or is it late? I'd like to think its early. there's not actually any windows or light in here for me to tell so at this point I'm just guessing.

Huh.... now that I'm thinking more about this, I'm kind of hating myself for not appreciating my life more back on earth. I mean I've always known the feeling of the sun on my skin, the changing of seasons, And a warm belly full of food.

Really everything that should just be basic rights for any living being. But yet now I am denied these rights.

I don't think I can even recall what it feels like to be warm anymore. Theres always the constant pang of hunger and the dull ache from my head from the lack of water.

I know I said my life wasn't the bad before but now I'm changing my mind. This is a different type of torture. I would much rather get physically hurt than being starved.

At least I would know what to expect that way. I think I could get used to being beat everyday than not knowing when my next meal is or if I'll wake up one day to some starving wolf trying to eat my arm through the cage bars.

And on the side, yes that did happen. Some large mutt was trying to rip my arm off in my sleep.

I had fallen asleep in a corner and apparently I rolled around to much resulting in my hand sticking out of the bars enough for someone to grab it.

Truly it was disturbing, imagine waking up to some half savage beast with your hand in its mouth. I hate to admit this but In a odd sense I kind of enjoyed it. The pain part of it, not my arm getting covered in saliva part.

I got used to the hunger pains and the headaches but not so much to physical pains. It can't be helped that I got a little excited about something new. My days have just been repeating themselves over and over and now that it's changed a bit I couldn't help but feel happy.

Ahh I've done it again haven't I? I get sidetracked a bit to much, still you can't blame me! We don't get the chance to talk much after all.

So basically my life is like this so far. I wake up, sit in a cage, wait for food, and watch other slaves being sold off - hoping one day it will be my turn. Oh and this is where it's gets good, I than fall asleep and repeat the seemingly endless cycle.

Today shouldn't be much different, much to my displeasure. When I woke up this morning the air seemed to be even more chilly than usual. I'm guessing it's going to be winter soon, how nice I due quite enjoy the snow. Though I guess it's not really a good thing for me now.

While I was curled up in a corner the sound of hefty walking reached my ears. Cocking my head I observed the new comers with great interest.

Leading the way was a slender man with hair the color of cotton candy, a fair clean face and large sparkling green eyes. Following next to him was a petite women with matching features. They looked almost exactly the same, in truth most could probably mistake the man for a girl.

Luckily for me I am now not a human though, caring a strong since of smell and instinct from my beast blood I'm able to detect his pheromones as a male. It would be quite a shock on my poor heart if I tried to ogle him thinking it was a female.

Turning my gaze away I also took note of one of the slave masters following behind the pair. In contrast to the first two the slave master to say the least was not so pleasing to the eyes. He was a short man with a massive round belly, you couldn't tell where his neck began and face ended. His hair was a greasy black with sweat dripping off every inch of him.

Scrunching my face up I look of contempt and slight disgust appears on my face. My new vision and scent helps at times but so far it seems to be betraying me more times than helping.

Wrinkling my nose I focus my attention back on the more attractive pair. They were carefully roaming through each row of cages, occasionally pointing at a few other slaves while murmuring between themselves.

Finally they came before my cage. At this point a had high expectations and hopes. I need to leave this place soon or else I'm really going to snap.

Straightening my back I perked my ears forward while swishing my large tail back and forth behind me. Slightly pouting my lips I look up at them with large eyes. When all else fails my cuteness can't, I have my own pride to uphold here!

Eagerly watching them they finally stopped before my cage before taking only one short glance in.

"What a ugly thing you are"

"Truly.... it hurts just looking at it, hurry up I can't stand even being near that thing"

My heart immediately plummeted to my stomach. Damn you Dareth! You useless bastard! It's not me he's talking about, just look at me compared to you!

I'm seriously considering taking out Dareth at this point. My chances of leaving here alive are seriously slim with this large oaf as my cell mate.

So far everyone only takes one glance at him before going onto the next cell.

don't look at him! Look at me! See how cute I am! I'm really trying my best here.

Hey wait don't leave! Quick turn around! No don't look at that small little rabbit shifter over there! He's as weak as a well ... a rabbit.

It seems my plans have been ruined once more.... they left and now I'm still sitting here with this over sized murderous looking goat.

Just wait till next time I'll surly be chosen!
