Hey everyone I'm sorry the update was a little late. I am working on the next chapter of Kidnapped, don't worry I am still working on it. You guys gave me four reviews in like two days. I am not complaining, but my goodness I need to make chapters even faster. Okay now I am going to answer reviews. Oh this was 1057 words before my note.

Max POV
The Iggster and I pace up and down the fence closest to the visitors. Iggy is just as agitated as I am and his tail whips from side to side.
"Iggy, calm down, we go through this every month," I try to say soothingly. Allow me to explain, every month the humans feel like they haven't torture enough by caging us so they decide to "train" us. This basically means they try to make us do impossible trick and electrocute us with metal rods. Last time Iggy got a particularly bad shock on his leg. He could hardly step on it for a week.
"Max, I really don't want to go," he tells me not even trying to lighten the mood. I mean of course it is understandable. I don't enjoy it but I know that it is something I have to go through. Iggy and I both know it is best not to try to fight them.
They come around mid-day. Like always at theses times there are no visitors at our pen. The open the doors that led to the rooms that Iggy and I sleep in. We both walk at the same slow pace up to the doors. I duck under the wooded rim of the door and get the same chill I get whenever my paws hit cold concrete. Iggy and my eyes meet through the mesh wall. I can see his discomfort.
The doors close behind us with a loud snap. A human comes into the room and puts a tray of food in each of the cells (not the empty one of course). We gulp down the food as fast as possible. It contains an ingredient that makes us pass out so that they can relocate us to the training area.
Iggy and I simultaneously start quickly moving around the cell, the more our hearts pump the faster it makes us sleep. As I begin to feel drowsy I lay down and wait for it to overcome me. A horrible feeling if you ask, it is like someone yanking you down a huge dark hole.
I wake up in the training area. It is a massive circular room with one way glass walls. The floor was an unnatural white that seemed to reflect the florescent lights. I look around and see that there is one human in the room with me. Where is Iggy? He is usually in the same training room as me. The human walks towards me.
I am shocked to see the same dark human from the other day approaching me. I feel the same slight tingle in the back of my head. As he comes closer I growl. He smells different than others of his species. I sit back on my haunches and try to figure him out. He has the same blue amulet around his neck.
He is now within five feet of me but I don't feel hostile. It is something about him I don't understand, his lack of natural fear of a predator that is obviously stronger than me. He smiles a half smile and clicks a collar and rope around my neck. This isn't okay, these collars make me feel restrained, not in control. I hate it.
He leans down beside me, his head within inches of my strong jaws and whispers, "Just wait."
I'm confused, I usually cannot understand the harsh sounds of the human's language but I was able to perfectly understand his words. I glare at him but I listen and I slightly rigidly walk in the direction of the rope.
He doesn't yank the rope but it doesn't have any slack either. He leads me to the side of the room and says something to the wall. It must be a smart wall because an open door appeared and let us walk through it. The door closes behind us and he stops. He turns around and takes off the collar.
Okay, now I am really confused. A human just let me, a fully grown black panther, go. Without anything around my neck. I look at him in interest.
"What is he doing," I growl to myself.
"Well, you see," he smirks at me, "I am saving you."
"Why would I need saving? I am perfectly happy here," I know it isn't the truth as soon as I say it.
"Oh, really?" he questioned.
"How do you understand me?"
"We need to get going, the keepers will be coming soon." He says disregarding my question completely.
"What about Iggy?!" He raises an eyebrow.
"Your friend from the zoo, yes he has been released as well," he looks at his watch. "And he is probably already at his destination." He shakes his head and says under his breath, "We would be to, if someone wasn't taking forever with questions."
I growl but follow him at a brisk pace. We go through another set of doors and step outside. We are in front of a massive yet sleek building. He opens doors on the back of a large metal thing on wheels and says, "It's is a van." I didn't need to know but at least now I know what to call it.
"Hop in," he says impatiently.
Pushy. I jump inside, the van sways slightly with my weight. He slams the door and goes through the front and makes the "van" growl very loudly. I wince at the painfully loud sound. The van lurches forward and I slid my claws out trying to grip the metal floor. The only thing I accomplish is making a horrible screeching sound. I slam into the back of the van with a thud.
Ouch, I shake my head and lay down on the floor against the door. Now that van had begun to move it actually had a soothing motion and sound. I find myself falling asleep.
I wake up when I hit the ground. It takes me a moment to realize that someone had opened the door resulting in me falling three feet to the not so comforting ground. I jump to my feet and glare at the dark human.
"Really," I growl. It looks like he was trying to hold in a laugh.
"Where are we?" I asked. We were in the middle of the woods.
"We are at The Cave."
Not a cave THE CAVE. Yay! Well thanks for reading I would just love eight reviews. BYE
