Walking home from a day's work on the all-too-familiar streets. Looking up, unable to see any stars, I frown, the lights of the city polluting the sky. Pulling out my phone a look at the time, it's 11:30 pm, I sigh putting an earbud in, I listen to some music.

Not paying attention to where I am going, I see a bright light approaching up ahead, squinting unable to see. I stop walking, shielding my eyes, a loud piercing sound starts to emanate from the light, getting closer and closer, with each second the sound gets louder and louder. Unable to think of what to do, I feel a weight in my head, getting heavier each second, until I knew no more.

I awake to the sound of birds, chirping above me, I try and lift a hand to my face, only for my arm to not respond, feeling something on my wrist, I conclude that I am bound to something. I struggle to open my eyes, when I do a piercing light blinds me for a second, blinking the spots away. I look around, seeing that I am in a cell of some sort, and chained to the wall.

I look up to see the light is coming from a grate in the ceiling, I 'sigh' not knowing how I got here. I try and see if I can stand up, reluctantly my limbs start to move, steadying myself against the wall. Slowly but surely I stand, my body aches and groans, flexing my fingers. Looking at myself, I'm not in my clothes, just a simple loincloth. Moving my gaze to what's on my wrist, around it is an old-looking, rusted shackle, around my neck is the same thing just with a loop in the front.

I pull on the shackle attempting to snap it, but it holds though it is so rusted. Giving up, I look at the door it's wooden with a hole with metal bars, walking to the door, but stopped by the chain from the shackle.
Seeing that I'm halfway to the door, I glans through the door seeing if I can spot anything. With no luck, I walk back to the wall, with the wall for leverage, I try and stretch the stiffness out of my body, knowing that I'm in here for some reason, I sit back down trying to get comfy on the stone floor.

Jolted awake by something pounding on the door, not knowing I fell asleep, I look up to see a figure in the doorway looking at me, what stands in front of me is a dog? I think a Dobermann but their standing on their back legs and have hands. Then they spoke.

"you, up." It said to me, looking confused, I rub my eyes, not believing what I'm seeing. I get to my feet, seeing that the sun is still out, I look back to the door. My throat is to dry to talk, I stand there, with a defiant look, looking down at them, they must only be 5 ft tall, with me being a head taller. I see a bit of hesitation in their eyes, now that I'm standing seeing that this thing is a female.

With her eyes open wide with fear, "In." When she said that another one comes in, looking like an English Springier Spaniel, female to, standing at 4 ft 8 in, coming up to my chest, she stares at me for a moment. Hesitantly she started to walk forward with her tail between her legs, not looking me in the eye when they get to me and reaches for my arm, seeing that she has a set of keys with her, I give her my hand. With my arm freed, rubbing my wrist, I stand there to confused on what to do, then the first one speaks again. "Come." I walk up to her, standing in her face, I say one word with a deep and raspy voice that made her jump, "Water."

The one with the keys yelps then runs past me. With the first one still in front of me. I look at her in the eyes again, keeping the stare for a bit but she looks away, I smirk moving back to the center of the room.

After some time the one that ran comes back with a cup of water the cup seems to be stone, I look at the Springer then hold out my hand, nervously she hands me the cup, with a small smile I sniff the water, it's a bit fausty, but I take a sip. It's cold but has an odd taste, finishing the drink, I 'sigh' wiping my mouth with my arm, I hand her back the cup. Before she can step back, I grab her wrist and pull her a bit closer to me, fighting back a bit I cup her chin. She freezes not looking me in my eyes, "look at me," I say softly, she looks at me with tears threatening to come out, I soften my look and give her a soft smile, moving my hand from her chin to her neck seeing she has a collar, I lift the tag it says Lily on one side and Slave on the other.

My look hardens when I see Slave on her collar, she must have seen the look in my eyes because now she is shaking and crying, I pull her to my chest and hug her rocking her side to side, "shush, shush, it's ok, it's ok, I'm not going to hurt you." Letting her cry in my chest, I look over to the Dobermann, seeing that she is still looking away I say in a soft tone, "come here please," she starts to walk to me, her tail now between her legs. When she gets to me, "show me your collar please," shyly she lifts her head showing her neck and collar, I reach out to see what it says, Nala and Slave.

"Nala," when I say her name she flinches then she looks at me, I can see fear and a bit of hope in her eyes, "I'm going to help you and your pack, to be free again, but I need time, whatever they have told you to do, do it." She comes over to me and hugs me, Lily is hugging me too they both start to cry softly, a "thanks, you" comes from Nala, and I hold them until they let go, Lily with a small smile, pulls out and long rusted change and some manacles.

Will I'm walking to where ever they're leading me I think to my self about's what to come.
