After the caretakers left for the night after spending a day doing arts and crafts, the mysterious creature was left alone in its chamber for the night alone. The night covered the city in a calming black blanket, the sky dotted with streetlights and the occasional city noises could be heard in the distance. Hunter sat in the concrete basement, waiting to be visited by his caretaker and the monster in a black suit in the coming morning. He sat against the wall for he had no bed until the end of the week, he stared down at his drawing of him and the unicorn together, the minor flaws took away from enjoying his own work. As he sat alone in the room, a faint red light began to flash against the wall behind the lone human. Hunter looked around in confusion, searching for the source of the light. The slow blinking gave it an eerie look that made the area to his sides stand out in a red glow compared to the rest of the night-shaded room. It was a few more moments before he realized the source of the light as he said to himself in his native tongue, "No... No please don't find me! Not when I'm like this." He began to claw at the back of his head until he found the source of the light coming from under his hair and skin, he had completely forgot about his beacon.

Hunter dashed into the bathroom, frantically climbing his way to the small window he had to the rest of society as he whispered, "Not when I'm like this, please don't find me now!" He looked frantically in every direction as he worried about others finding him and creating a scene. The thought of them trying to break him out only to be annihilated themselves was a scary thought to him, so he only prayed that they weren't coming for him.

Suddenly, a voice was heard echoing through his head saying, "Hunter... come in Hunter!" It wasn't an SOS response, instead it was a transmission that was wired right into his brain that he somehow forgot about despite landing directly on the device and causing a lot of pain only a few days ago. It was amazing to him that his captor didn't find it earlier, maybe because it was just well disguised under his full head of brown curling hair. But another worry still remained, he had to explain to the other end about his current situation. So there was still a risk of the voices quickly leading to a lot of fire and unnecessary death

Panicking, Hunter rushed back into the main room in hopes that nothing else could hear the voices in his head as he whispered back with a sigh, "Yes... Hunter speaking."

"Oh thank God you're alive, Hunter," The other voice began, it sounded somewhat worried yet a lot more relieved once it heard Hunter's voice, "where the hell are you? We can't find you anywhere."

"I'm in a prison cell, not human, its also not changeling."

"Do you need us to break you out or can you handle it on your own."

"Definitely don't break me out, that would draw too much attention. Besides, I think staying here could benefit the humans a little with some knowledge."

"Well... as long as you are alive, if you don't report back same time next week we will be sending out Pinn to find you. Got that?"

"Yeah I understand, so far it has been pretty awful the way I have been treated by one of my captors. Luckily the other one has so far made it clear that it understands that I feel pain."

"So..." the other voice paused for a bit to gather its thoughts before continuing, "you're being treated wrong... yet you want to stay."

"What I'm saying is that things are changing for the better very soon. Pretty soon after I learn more of their language I can communicate that I want to leave." Hunter knew what his plan was, to gain the affection of the turquoise mare and get her to release him back to where he once came from, his goal was to cause as little damage as possible in order to leave a good image of his type behind. Yet the thought of how well she treated Hunter gave the captive a strange feeling in his stomach, a mixed feeling he had a hard time describing even in his own language.

"That's understandable... I worry for you though, its a dangerous world out there and who knows what dangers there are hidden in plain sight. For that, my rule still stands. You have one week to report back to me with your progress or Pinn is coming for you, both him and I care for you very much and don't want to lose you."

"Got it," Hunter whispered to the voices in his head, "become their friend, learn their language, calmly and peacefully leave, report back to you in a week."

With that, the voices went away as well as the red blinking light. Hunter was again left along in the concrete room with only a hard cold bench to rest his naked and pale body upon in order to sleep. Hunter slowly crawled onto the large slab of cold stone and curled into fetal position, not because he was freezing to death but because it gave him comfort. He felt lonely, the only friend he had at the moment was the turquoise horse to keep him company at the same time that the white stallion bullied and pretty much tortured him. As he lay there alone with his thoughts, he contemplated the amount of time it would take for him to learn this new language inside and out. A long time ago it would have taken your average human a few years or so to fully learn a language, but thanks to evolution of the brain it takes barely any time at all to learn it. Hunter reassured himself that he would soon be free from this humiliating captivity and away from these vile creatures. But that also meant that he would be leaving the new friend he made too, he certainly couldn't just take it with him otherwise he'd be no better off than the one that captured him off guard.

And so he lay there, eyes wide open and mind fully racing. Feelings of worry, sadness, joy, fear, anger, and wonder all shouted within his mind. He couldn't sleep despite how late it probably was, so he got up and simply began to exercise his body until it would be tired. As he did his pushups he thought to himself, "This will be all over soon."

Author's Note

So sorry if you find this chapter a bit short and awkward, this time it goes into the mind of Hunter (Anthro's actual name) and everything is in his language, which will be revealed later.

Again thank you very much for all the wonderful reviews you guys have given. It drives my desire to continue this fanfic and hopefully this will achieve the goal I have in mind.

See you guys in the comments section!
