Colors swirled before my eyes. Where was I? Bang. Thunk. I looked around, trying to take in my surroundings. I was in a large, metal confinement. A woolen blanket was outstretched beneath my paws. I got up, unsteadily, my legs wobbling dangerously. Then I heard voices.
"Lucky Yellowstone gave us this guy," a gruff man said. I could see his grizzled beard through the small window.
"Yeah, we'll definitely get more people comin' to the zoo," another laughed. "We'll be rich." That man was behind the wheel. I couldn't see his face. He had to be the one who was making this metal box drive to where we were going. He was the cause of this. Anger and hatred flared in my eyes as I searched the sleek, tin-grey walls for a way to escape. I barked madly as I came back to where I began. No way out.
"You hear that?" They greying man asked. The other one muttered something. Screechy noises filled my ears as the metal beast pulled to a stop. I heard a door slam. Than another. A clinking noise came from the opposite side of the window and where the man had previously sat. A long squeak filled my ear drums as the metal door flung open.
"Dang it, Jake. Got any more sleepin' darts?"
"No," The grey-headed man said, annoyance in his voice. I snarled and backed up until my hind was pressed against the walls of the beast. I'd rather stay inside than to do these people's wishes. But what if they wanted me to stay inside? I let a whine burst into my menacing growl. I had to get out. Fast. But how? I narrowed in on a spot just between the two. I bent my hind legs until I had just enough spring in them… bang. I flew between the two and landed swiftly onto the scorching hot pavement. I could hear the click of a loaded gun. Adrenaline coursed through my body as I raced along the streets, large, steel building reaching towards the sky on all sides of me. And that's how I escaped the humans. Now I'm alone on the streets, but it must be a better life that what I could've lived.
A/N: I'm really sorry about how short this is. This story will have shorter chapters overall (compared to my others). I kind of rushed to get this prologue out there, but I'll probably go a little slower on the next chapters, and I'll also make them a tad longer, too. So, yeah, the next chapters will no doubt be better worded, longer, and hopefully better written.
