~Jethro~
I lose consciousness on the floor of my cage, and dream again. It was another memory for back when we lived next to each other..... you know, next to HIM. I remembered one of the times I was over at HIS house, helping his parents out with their styling.
" Hold tight, Jethro...." His mom says to me. I smile, cause i like the way her voice sounds. Its soft and sweet, similar to HIS.......
"Yes Ma'am..." I say. I'm modeling another floor length gown, and I REALLY like this one. Its a mint green with a purple sash, a SPECTACULAR beading. One of the... better pieces I've tried on. Also, I'm in a pair of purple heels that match the sash. HE'S also in a dress, also a floor length. His is a deep sea blue, with a lighter color of beading, which cover the bodice. He looks at me, and I smile back. I'm about to say something, when his brothers come in. They see us, and start cracking up!
"So, Jethro," One says, hes the number 2 out of the 5. "I think your hair is clashing with that awful shade of green." I growl at him, and he snorts.
"Shut. Up." I say back, glaring. I'd like to see him in this dress, see what he thinks of it! "I look better in this than you EVER will." He looks shocked, and some of the others laugh.
"Man, you just got told by a 2nd grader!" Another one, number 3, says to him.
"Yeah, runt?! You wanna say that again?!" number 2 says.
"I think you heard me the first time." i say back, smirking. for being way younger than him, i sure can aggravate him. He growls a deep, rumbling growl. THAT boy looks back and forth from me to his older brother with wide eyes.
"You really wanna go, don't you runt?!" Number 2 shifts into a border collie, ready to fight. I sigh.
"You wish!" He looks taken aback. "Anyways, I'm in the middle of a dress fitting. Maybe later." One of the other brothers picks up number 2, and starts walking backwards.
"Hey mom, would you 'accidentally' stab him with a couple of your needles. The squirt needs to be taught a lesson." Number 4 says as he walks out, holding Number 2 in his arms. Their mom rolls her eyes, laughing.
"goodness, you really know how to make them upset, Jethro. I think they just wanna see you shifted, honestly." She shakes her head, still laughing.
"Really?" I say back, tilting my head.
"Yeah!" His Papa says from across the room, where hes working on HIS dress. "You know, they don't have a puppy to rough up anymore....." His voice trails off. I automatically look at HIM, to see his reaction. Hes not able to shift, even though the rest of his family can. Its a sensitive subject. We all wonder if hes going to be able to shift when hes older. the adults think its for the better, but we, the kids, don't really think so.
After HIS parents finish fitting us, we change back into our regular clothes. We're sitting in his room when he says suddenly,
"hey, would you shift for me? I know they say its dangerous, but I really wanna see you as a puppy again." I smile.
"Yeah, I'll do it." I shift down into my German Shepard form, and bark. He laughs, and so do I. He motions me over, then picks me up and put me in his lap.
"I hope that one day I can shift, too." he says, pulling me closer. I look up at him and wonder what he'd look like as a puppy. The thought makes me smile.
"Yeah...." My voice fades away, and I realize I'm tired. It appears he does too, because he yawns loudly.
He puts his head on top of mine, and i fall asleep in the comfort of my best friend's arms, his warm hands in my fur.
I wake up to the sound of the doors opening. I watch Hana fly out of her cage, and the guards grab her.
"Take the husky first, She might get out of her cage." I see them open Kallik's cage, and then take her away. Echo growls, and one of the hunters makes a face.
“Anyone want to get the wolf.” One hunter asks. When no one answered, obviously scared of Echo, he added, “Fine then you god damn pansies; I’ll get her.” He pulls out a gun, and I whimper. I winced as the gun went off, scared that it had got her. I open my eyes to see that she ducked. Echo launched out of her cage and towards the hunters throat, but he dodged and grabbed her. He snapped something around her neck, and then tossed her out of the van. Belk whispers my name, and I turn slightly.
"Yeah?" I say.
"Did they get her?" He asks me, looking worried. I shake my head no, and he sighs with relief. I was about to say something when a shadow was suddenly cast over my cage.
"Hey, mutt." A familiar hunter says. Ugh, its him again. I hear Kari laugh behind me... I consider turning around and saying something, but I don't.
"Hey, dude. You're blocking my sun.... Do ya'think you could MOVE?!" I say back to him. He tenses up, and I smirk.
"I'm going to KILL you!" He says to me. I watch him unlock my cage, and reach into grab me. I pull on my backpack, and brace myself.
"Dude, you've tried that before. It didn't work. So, could you like leave? Cause I don't appreciate looking at your sorry face." I know I've got a big mouth, but hey, this guy deserves it.
I choke as he grabs me around the neck. Once he gets me out of my cage, he ties my hands together and snaps something around my neck. I get shocked by the collar, and man, it HURTS! He throws me out of the van, and i hit the ground.
"Don't mess with that one! Hes dangerous, and has a big mouth!" The hunter shouts at the others. He kicks me, again, and I wince. I'm lying on my side, unable to push myself up. Some of the other hunters follow his lead, and kick me too. One kicks me in the stomach, and makes me cough blood. After I finish choking up blood, I look around. I see that they actually managed to get Kari out of her cage. She grins, and I just glare. I look up when my sun is, once again, blocked. I see a girl with the WEIRDEST ponytails standing over me. She bends down slightly, grabs me by the collar, and pulls me up on my knees.
"Now aren't you a cute one!" She says, turning my head side to side. "They did get you pretty bad though, you're all black and blue." She pokes my cheek, hitting a bruise.
"Whats with you hair? Its hideous!" I gasp. The collar sends a shock through me, and I fall over to my side.
"Huh, they were right.... you have a big mouth for being so innocent looking." The girl walks towards the van, and I hear Kari laugh.
"Miss, is this the one?" i hear one of the hunters say. Theres a pause, then the chick starts to speak.
"Yeah, that's him." I hear her footsteps approach the van. "So, Belk, have you missed me?" I gasp when I hear Belk's name. The snapping of a collar fills the air, and then Belk speaks.
"Uh, who are you?" I laugh at this, only to be rewarded with another shock.
"Guards, take them to that place. You know the one. They'll make good toys.... VERY good ones."
Her laughing fills my ears as we get dragged away, to who knows where.
