Author's Note

Okay, so since I keep watching a bit of Song Of The South, it's inspired by this scene:

(Also, not my best work but I'd like any criticisms on what to fix!)

(Edit: I had to edit some things about the story, so I guess here's a bit of a newer version of it)

Scene #10

A gulp came from Zephyr as the tribe people were putting in spices in the black large pot. From flowers, to small unknown herbs, to even grass, he knew that he wouldn't get out easy. He wasn't even sure that his teammates would find him. Nor even his beloved, Victoria. He was starting to miss her.

He even tried to wiggle himself out of the rope or even just bite it, but due to the gross taste, it made him almost barf. He was at a lost cost. He felt tears well up in his eyes and his heart continued to thump in fear, as his whole body was slowly shaking and his forehead sweating.

One of the wolf-humanoids went towards the water before using their fingers to taste it. A slight smile arose on the wolf for a moment before he nodded. He then turned towards Zephyr, as his smile showed his teeth, his eyebrows narrowed and his eyes were like daggers. Zephyr saw this, as his pupils lowered more before a gulp came from him.

He walked towards him, while his hands were behind his back. A slight chuckle came from him, before going near Zephyr, making him slightly shake more.

"So," He said in a sinister tone. "are you ready, to become dinner?" He asked, as Zephyr nodded.

"U-um, w-w-well, I mean, I-" He was paused before he covered his mouth.

"I know your answer human. And that's a yes." He said, before a chuckle came from him and uncovered his mouth. Zephyr Breeze's eyes continued to swell in tears, but he tried to resist it while he tried to breathe in and out, but failed as the wolf told him to "Shut it!". He had to think fast, before he as gonna be turned into wolf's delight.

The wolf-humanoid leader took a whole of the pole, before using all of his strength to rip it out, making Zephyr yelp. He placed him on his shoulder's before he slowly began to walk towards the pot. All of the humanoids gathered up towards the pot, as they all giggled and even some licked their lips.

"My people," He announced as the wolves got their leader's attention. "Are you ready, to have a feast to remember?" They all howled in exchange, making Zephyr's ears hurt from the sudden sound. The wolf man chuckle before he got the pole of his shoulder and he put it right over the pot, he saw how the water was boiling and the color. He couldn't help but let out a single tear and once again resisted the urge to cry.

"Now, we shall dunk the human in this pot and boil him until he passes." He said, before giving out a chuckle.

Zephyr slowly began to think, obviously his first choice to get out was hopeless and the second choice was useless too, since nobody was around to call for help. So, he had to do one only thing. Laugh. Laugh? It wasn't even the perfect time to do this. But, he remembered one thing from that and even from his m'lady. Go into your happy place. And slowly and surely, that's what Zephyr did as he slowly put his sad feelings aside.

As the wolf was gonna dunk Zephyr into the water, all of a sudden, they heard laughter. Small chuckles of laughter. A sudden confused look came from the humanoids before the leader in fast motion, removed the pole away from the pot and grabbed onto the pole. He looked at Zephyr, who seemed to continued to chuckle.

Some of the humanoids scratched their heads or whispered to another. The main wolf himself growled a bit before he asked. "And what's so funny, human?" He asked.

Zephyr stopped chuckling, before he sighed. "Oh nothing, j-just thinking about something." He said, as he looked at the wolf, before he bit his lip and tried his best to control his laughter.

"And, what was it?" He asked, as he looked straight into his eyes. Zephyr flinched a bit but remained still before he once again gave out his best chuckle.

"I-it's a secret. Haha!" He said, before he continued to laugh. He crooked a brow.

"And what is this, secret," He asked. "A portal? A scroll to conquer the world? What?!" He screamed.

"Well, haha, you see, it's something in my mind. Something will, m-make me, haha, happy and forget about the sad times!" Zephyr screamed before he forced himself to once again burst himself of laughter as his tears in his eyes, began to actually fall, as he didn't care what they'll think. The wolves continued to look at him, as they felt more confusion set in them, but one of the wolf's eyes looked at him, as he wondered what he meant.

"What's it called?" He asked.

Zephyr stopped before he breathed a bit, as he regained himself from his forced laughter. He looked at the wolf, before he said. "Oh well, it's called, my happy place."

"A happy place," He asked. "Um, what's a happy-" He was paused before the wolf looked at him angrily, leaving the other to stop as sudden fear hit him.

"Don't ask this human anything, and listen," He screamed, before he growled at Zephyr. "We don't want you, you stupid human to trick us into thinking that your "happy place" is real!" Zephyr couldn't help but to roll his eyes.

"But come on, it is real! I've even been inside it before," He said, before he gave out an unnoticeable wink. One of the wolf's gasped, before the leader looked at all of them.

"Shut up, everyone! This is foo-" Before he could finish, one of the wolves asked.

"Is it beautiful?"

Zephyr nodded. "Yep."

"Can you imagine anything?" Another asked.

Once again he nodded. "Of course, if anything makes you laugh or happy." He smiled.

"Oh! Can it transform you into something funny?" Another asked, as she lifted herself onto another wolf, making him growl.

And once again he nodded in fast motion before yelling. "Yes, yes and yes! In a happy place, you could imagine anything! And I mean anything!"

All of the wolves gasp once more before they gathered more towards the pole and the leader became slightly squished, as he tried to moved forward but it was no use. They continued to talk over each other, as their eyes were full of excitement and their smiles grew from this. As so, Zephyr couldn't help but laugh once more, before he gave a smirk, knowing and hoping this unknown plan would work.
