Teenager-- Taking This Well

I snarled, wildly struggled to get to my feet. I saw one of the men wince when a sharp crack was heard. I yelped loudly..

But it wasn’t my leg. It was one of my slightly healed ribs. Instantly I allowed my legs to fall, and allowed Jakob to catch me and lay me beside him again. In a few moments time, he was his big, lovable wolf again. He stood over me, snarling at the men who were coming to open our cage.

The important man yelled for the ‘were drugs to be brough out, and I gulped. OMIGOD , they’d found something to actually put us to sleep? And have us stay there for a bit? Holy crow, that was an improvement. For them, not us. I saw Jakob’s eyes widen and I pulled on his tail, which made him whirl around. They had been aiming thier drugs at him and had just fired, but it hit the floor of the cage instead of Jake.

And, freakily enough, the floor sizzled! It looked like it was boiling. Instantly I was freaked out and grabbed Jake’s leg to pull him down again. He’s taking this well, while I’m nervous…
