"Please…"
"Please what Halo? I could have killed you those years ago… I should have… and because of me you lived… the least I could get is a thank you. Yet you shiver and whine under my feet like the dog you are. Pathetic."
"Please… let me go. Kehaar, I beg of you. This is not what we were created for. We are not slaves, please understand this. My legs are weak from lying in that cage for so long each day. My body aches. My lungs beg for fresh air. I am your mate. Spare me. I do you no good sitting in a dungeon. I won't displease you… I know I'm not as strong as the others. But I am smarter than them. I am small… but I can lead. Along side you. Please Kehaar. Let me loose from this prison. I won't try and escape. I promise."
With a swift movement, the man turned and grabbed the boy by his tangled hair. He brought him to his feet and stared down into his gray eyes for a good minute.
"You leave me no choice Halo. I cannot take your whining any longer. You insult me again and again. Though, I do not have the heart to kill you, this time. You may leave. Though, know this. If the rest of the pack catches you on your way out, or if they find you on our land they will bring you to me personally. And if I ever see your miserable face again, I won't hesitate to kill you."
And with that, Kehaar released him and turned before his beaten body could hit the floor...

3 Days Later
He had always been told to stay away from man places. They were dangerous. But there was something about this house. It seemed peaceful. There was a dog in the yard lounging about. A sweet smell, like burning oak, rose from the chimney. There was no commotion, no loud noises like gunfire. It blended nice with the country side. And most importantly, it was far away from Kehaar's land.
He sidled up to the dog and sniffed it tentatively. It smelled like oil. The dog rolled over and grunted. Looking up at him, Den wagged his tail and barked playfully as he rolled in the grass. One of his legs was mechanical... Halo pondered this for a few seconds. He had never seen anything like it.
"Den! Come er' boy!" Den popped up and ran to the porch where a female human was waiting. Halo noticed he was remarkably taller than the dog, but probably weighed less due to his small frame and malnourishment. He sat in the yard. Keeping a distance just in case the humans were dangerous. He sat stiffly and looked around as the cooling wind ruffled his white fur.
His ears pricked when he heard a clicking sound coming from the porch. He looked to see the human conversing with another, blond male.
"No Edward! Don't call it over here!"
"Why not?"
Then he heard it again. Like the human was beckoning him.
He stood up and took a tentative step forward.
"Good boy! Come er!" He said and the female scolded him again.
He walked, as if through a minefield, towards them. He got about ten feet away and stopped. He didn't want to get to cocky just in case it was a trick.
He jumped back when an object landed in front of his feet.
"Edward! Feed a stray dog and it will never leave!"
They think I'm a dog... well I am much smaller than the others... This can be an advantage.
He sniffed the object. It was a hunk of cooked beef. He picked it up with his teeth, careful not to damage it, and carried it to the porch and placed it at Ed's feet. He was just afraid that humans were like wolves. The alpha eats first. He just needed to make sure that humans were different.
He sat and looked up at him, ears perked.
"Weird..." He said questioningly. He picked the hunk up and held it out on his palm.
Halo sniffed and slowly took it. He practically swallowed it whole.
"Seems like he's trained or something." Winry said.
"Well, thats not a bad thing."
"Ed, we are not keeping him." She said sternly.
Halo cringed at this.
"Winry! Look how cool this dog is!" He said like that explained everything.
"Look how cool Den is!" She said and pointed to the dog that had gone back to his random wallowing in the grass.
"But Al will love him!"
"Al likes cats."
"...So?..."
He watched, in a wide array of amusement, as Ed tried to win Winry's favor.
Humans are much less rigid than the pack... even though we are originally made by them we adapted very few of their qualities. At least, that's how Kehaar is...
"Ed, we'll talk about this later. I have start heading towards the station before I miss my train."
Ed pretended to let out a sigh, but he knew he would get his way eventually. All he had to do was make Winry fall in love with the dog just like he did.
Okay, well first chapter was very vague, I know. But I always suck at first chapters, so it will get better. More character development will happen I promise.
And I'm not the best at English. It is not my first language. So, please forgive errors.
Reviews are much appreciated! But flames will be ignored.
