Chapter 1
Freak Show
The smell of cotten candy, grease, body oder, and puke wafts in the air like an invisible cloud of stink. My sensitive nose burns and I have to cover it with my hand. I can't get away from the smell, or the staring eyes of the public watching my every move. Here I am, stuck in this metal cage, being displayed off to the world like some brand new shiney toy in the front window of a toy store.
I was what normal people called a 'freak.' I was constenetly being stared at, never getting a moments peace. I was known as the 'Wolf Girl' or 'Wolf' for short. I had long brown wavy hair that came to my waist with brown wolf ears sticking out the top of my head.
The most they let me wear was a black sports bra and jeans that I tore so I could move more. A long brown tail came out of the back of the jeans. I kept it nice and clean because I hated having my tail dirty and full of knots. I was barefoot all the time because of the claws on my feet as well as my fingers. I didn't have a muzzle on my face or a doggy type nose. I had a normal human face. Of course, I did have large inciser teeth that normal humans didn't have.
So here I was, stuck in this stupid cage with a steel collar on my neck. I sat there and looked at at the humans as they looked at me. All of them, of course, gawked at me and pointed.
Every once in awhile, some cocky teenager decides to test his luck by whistling at me like some pet dog and stuck his hand into the cage to try and pet me. I smirked and decided to play along. I started to whimper like a frienldy little puppy and slowly crawl over. He looked over at his friends with a smirk and then looked back at me.
I was an inch away from his hand before I grabbed the front of his hsirt and slammed him up against the metal bars of the cage, "Listen you lil' punta! Learn how to read the god damn sign before I bite off your face!" I growled in my Spanish accent before flinging him away again. There was a sign infront of my cage that read 'Do NOT pass the rope' and there was a rope infront of my cage to keep people's distance.
The boy scrambled back, pale as a ghost and looked like a pathetic bug. I sniffed in disqust and turned my back to him and his buddies. "You'll pay for that bitch!"The boy yelled before walking off with his friends. I just smirked,"How ya gonna make anything worse kid? I'm already in hell"I growled lowly under my breath.
I sighed a bit and layed down. Sure, the people could still see my tail twitching back and forth in annoyence, but all I wanted to do was get away fromm all of that. I wanted to live my life in peace without any staring eyes or judgemental looks of dissaproval. I decided to take a nap before the show tonight. Every night there was a show that showed off all of the freaks unusual talents. I sighed and slowly fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
