((Sorry I'm a bit behind. I'll start before dinner and work up to the night. Does anyone realize that Hana is in a different room? So she's kind of out of all this...))
~Hana
I sat in my cage, feeling rather alone in the world. "So you're the new favorite, huh?" game a low voice. The sudden sound made me jump. I turned to see a dog halfer in the cage next to mine.
"Guess so. I'm Hana," I introduced myself. He was about to say something, when the light from the door startled us both.
"C'mon, missy! The mistress wants you at dinner!" said a gaurd gruffly. He unlocked my cage and grabbed me by the wrist. He proceded to drag me down the hall. "The mistress sure has a taste for the cute ones," he laughed, and I could feel his disgusting breath on my face.
Luckily, we arrived quickly at wherever he was taking me, and I was thrown in a room after given a black, formal dress, along with a few more female halfers from our group. Changing quickly, I waited for the others.
There was a knock, and when we didn't reply, the guards came in. They removed our shock collars but lead us on chain leashes to dinner. The smell of roast chicken, fish, and meat rose to my nose. I could't help but feel myself start to salivate. The last time I ate was... back at the convention. And that was just some Pocky and Ramune. Basically, I felt starved. The guard led me to a seat next to Giovana, and I sat down quietly. Trying to show defiance, I decided not to take any food. However, the whistfull look in my eye gave away my hunger.
"Eat it!" she said. "It's there for you." Sighing, but inside actually kind of happy, I took a leg off a chicken and began to eat, cleaning it off to the bone. After, I took a large slice of fish, and picked at it, finishing it just in time for the end of dinner. I noticed that the lion had been gone most of the time, in the "bathroom".
Finally, they took everyone else back to their rooms, but after they left, the guard from earlier escorted me back to my cage.
"I always wondered what it would be like to have some fun with one of your kind," he whispered in my ear.
"Pervert," I muttered. Apparently, he heard me.
"Why you little..." he drew his hand back and smacked me across the face. Falling to the floor, I wiped blood from the corner of my mouth. "You might be a favorite, but it don't mean that you can't be punished, girly." Picking me up by the arm, he lead me the rest of the way to the room with my cage.
After he left, I sat in complete silence. The darkness around me was unbroken, and I was nearly asleep, when the door open and threw light on my face. Two silouettes appeared, then it was dark again. There was a sound of keys, and a cage was opened. Someone was thrown in the cage next to me, and then the guard left.
It was a few minutes before either me or the dog spoke. "So..." I said, just to break the silence.
"I was about to say, I'm an Australian Shepherd halfer. My name is..." he was interrupted again by the light from the door. The guard from earlier appeared, and he unlocked my cage.
"The mistress wants you in her room tonight," he said, pulling me out. I took one look at the boy, and my first glimpse of him will never go away.
I was lead, blind folded, to Giovana's room. The way I was being lead was confusing, because he was half dragging me. Finally, we reached the destination, and my blind fold was removed. I stood infront of a plain looking, wood door. The guard took out a key, and opened it, threw me in, and closed the door behind me. A click told me he locked it again.
The lighting was dim, but the room was elaborate. Giovana sat crosslegged on her bed, wearing a blue nightgown that matched her hair. Her hair had been straightened and pulled into a pony tail. "You're here!" she smiled. "Now we can play for a little while!" Play. Great. This would be quite the night. "I have a special collar for you here," she said, holding up a fancy, really pretty looking black collar. "I'll help you put it on!" I looked at the thing, and my lip rose into a snarl. "Now, now, be nice, before I call the guard back in here! He'll make sure you're good," thinking about what that guard would do to me to put me in my place was the worst thought I've had in my life, so I sighed and moved my hair. It was just a shock collar, right? Might as well play along...
She came came over and put the collar around my neck. There was a clicking sound, and she twisted into place. Suddenly, a slight shock went through my body.
"Now you'll do everything I say!" she said happily. Yeah, right... "Now, transform." Before I could even open my mouth to argue, I felt myself transforming. But I hadn't even told myself to yet!
No, I thought. NonononononoNO! I finally hit that point...
The memory wasn't much of a memory. Just an old nightmare from my childhood.
Alone. Completely alone in the dark, soundless voice. I was beaten and bruised. A hand brushes me, and I reach out to it. It took my hand, then quickly released it. Once again, I was alone...
I came back to reality. Giovana was now sitting on my back. Lovely.
"Now, go to my closet over there!" she pointed. "We'll play dress up!" My feet carried us there. Joy...
