Herbert the Pig had a good life.
He ate from the food thing, drank from the water thing, played in the mud, and just generally enjoyed being a pig. Then that twolegger came – the one with the fake fur on his head. He came and took Herbert from his good life, and caged him with those other twoleggers that he called that other word.
Teenagers.
Teen twoleggers were horrible. The kicked at him, threw things at him, and on occasion tried to drop him out a window. Herbert learned very quickly to stay with the fake fur twolegger. The teen twoleggers didn't do anything to him while he was with the flutie twolegger. There he was safe.
Until he wasn't.
Five of the teen twoleggers changed. They went from teen twoleggers to predator twoleggers. It was bad enough there was still dead cooked pig meat in the twoleggers food room, but at least it wasn't Herbert. The predator twoleggers let him out of his cage, and he took off running, squealing at the top of his lungs for the fake fur twolegger to come save him.
The flutie twolegger never came.
Wow, that went downhill into horrifyingly sad really fast. Probably a little AU, but I haven't seen that particular episode in a while, and I'm not sure where my Buffy season dvds are.
