Preface: (Sam)

Ha. It's almost comical how just last month my new "family" was saying they would never let anything happen to me.

Now, I'm hiding in the shadows, waiting for the chance to free them.

They seem to think I'm fragile because I'm human. A least, they think I'm human. Their captors are of the same mind.

I'll prove them wrong.

If these filthy, mangy, mongrel demons think I'm going to just sit idly by while they torture those I love, they're about to receive a rude awakening.

The distraction has begun. The guards are leaving. I shift my weight in anticipation. My breath comes faster. I flex my claws silently in the dirt.

Here's my chance.

I lunge into the open.
