Arctic was the first to wake up at around 5 in the morning, still dark out with the whole rest of the anti planet asleep. Beside her was Scourge who while sleeping calmly, had bruises from yesterdays fight and a few scratches.
'How can he stand that?' Arctic thought, slowly reaching a hand out, but pulled it back, thinking of what she was doing. Her ice powers had an ability to heal those who needed it or when she wanted, but it really took a lot out of her for the rest of the day. 'But then again, he's my master, and if he dies...its straight back to that pound of a slave prison.' Arctic thought and nodded.
She inhaled sharply before placing her hand on his head and channeled her energy to the symbols on her paws, that glowed a white outline on the black markings. She groaned and winced as it really did take a wallop out of her, but it was worth it to see everything heal. His deep cuts and such healed perfectly, and his bruises washed off like they were just make up and such. Once it was done, he merely moaned and rolled over, unknowingly on the white fox.
'Great, now what?' Arctic thought, trying to roll her body over so he'd follow suite, but that just made it so she was on top of him, her head laying on his scarred yet comfortable chest. Focusing her vision forward, she noticed how close her own muzzle was to his, yet he hadnt even woken up. 'He looks so...peaceful when asleep...almost like, nothing can go wrong or...he's nice.' She thought, tracing one of her small black claws along his muzzle, just to get a feel as he moaned at the feeling of the ice cold foxes touch.
His ice blue eyes opened, seeing her on his chest and wide awake, but with an added sweat drop and blush.
"So uh...this is new." Scourge said.
"I-I was healing your bruises and you rolled on me..so then I rolled you over, but you...kinda took me with you." Arctic said, her big seashell ears drooped down as she looked away.
"A slave healing its master? Ive only heard of slaves that try to kill their master and such, but certainly not this." Scourge said, propping both his arms behind his head in a relaxed manor.
"Well its only a one time a day thing, who am I gonna use it on?" She said, spinning her tails like a propeller and flew up and off the bed.
"Then how about I do somethin to make it better." Scourge said, jumping off the bed and walking over. "Stripes is around town and has his little slave, which he says she claims to know you. How about we take a little visit?" her master asked as she wasnt sure.
'This cant be a trap, and besides, Luna did say she was bought by a red and black hedgehog, so this could be my chance to finally see her again after so long.' She thought and simply nodded.
"Good, allow me to take care of it and the Destructix." He said, but before he left he kissed her on the forehead, making her stiff as a board as he just left the room, like it was nothing.
Sooner or later she got over it, it wasnt like a kiss on the lips or anything. It was just a little thing he did with all the women he met and such, meaning it was a tease.
She instead began to focus on how Sonic was gone, all he had said and such, making her ears pin against her mind as she wiped a table clean.
'I cant believe he loved me...I never really knew. But I wish I had sooner, so then maybe I wouldnt have fallen for-' She thought but a voice cut her off.
"Hey, frosty, get over her." Predator Hawk said, without a choice she wandered her way to the blue hawk.
"Yes sir?" She asked, crossing her arms with an annoyed glare.
"You missed a spot." He said, carelessly knocking over a glass of wine.
"Uh I only work for my master, so its not my job to clean after his guests." Arctic said, her arms crossed tighter around her skinny body as she just looked at the wine. The only thing she was given was little water and some slop she didnt dare eat, since it looked like it was both burned and raw somehow.
"Nonsense." Fiona said, walking out with Lightning closeby. "Its still a mess and your still a slave, so clean it up." Fiona said, kicking Arctic to her knees as she held back a groan of pain.
"Hmph, hard to find a slave that can use its brain." Hawk commented "Were just lucky this ball of fur lasted more than a week. But it wont last much longer." Fiona said, walking off as Arctic scrubbed the floor out of the stain the wine made.
It was faint when she was done, but at least they wouldnt notice it much, considering the rest of the house was a total wreck. 'At least they didnt make me lap it up like a dog.' the skinny fox thought, tossing her scrubber into a bucket and walked off with it. The day went as she now had to serve the Destructix like they were her masters as well, without a say otherwise.
So far, she had been a footstool for Sleuth, much to her annoyance, had to continuously serve them wine that she was tempted to drink, considering she was weaker without that extra power. Speaking of which, she had a headache pounding in her skull while her stomach was in knots, and not able to get a thing to help it, considering they didnt care.
Finally, Scourge came out and put the leash on Arctics collar, as if she was a pet more than a slave, making her even more annoyed as two veins popped out but she walked by his side.
Walking through the dead, grey Grand Forest that looked more like a war zone instead of a peaceful place like on Mobius. While walking on two legs, she felt her head and could feel her heartbeat pounding against her skull and her stomach getting tighter, making her grow paler and lose her shiny glow on her fur.
'God I feel so weak, but its what happens when I use my powers like that.' She thought and just kept walking as Scourge glanced at her a few times.
He looked over everything about her. Her skinny body made her very flexible and easy to slip past anything. Her big ears were quite unique, as he had never seen such big things except on Rouge the bat, but hers were still smaller compared to the slave. 'And that shyness while being a slave...its kinda hot, like she's vulnerable. And the fact that she stayed while she had her shot to leave, total opposite of what Fi did when we tried takin over Mobius.' He thought but saw her lavender eyes, which really set it off. They were a perfect mix, like Blazes coat except lighter.
They reached Shadows hideout in the forest, as he was hiding from G.U.N for a few reasons he couldnt go into, confidential or whatever. But they went inside the small castle where Shadow was sitting in a throne, with the black and hot pink wolf sleeping at his feet.
Her fox sister couldnt believe this place and how the slave was. Luna looked a little scarred on the back, noticeable through her thick dark grey fur and her fur near her snout looked tear stained.
Upon hearing the door open, her ears perked up and she ran but was tugged tight at her own leash and yapped in pain, falling to the floor as Shadow just watched, unfazed. He got up and untied her, walking off with Scourge.
The two stood across from each other before hugging tight, not seeing each other in what felt like years, but it was really a few months.
"Has he hurt you?" Luna asked, letting go, new tears rolling down her eyes.
"No, not in the way you think. Just a house/cleaning slave. But what about you, you look seriously hurt with that back." Arctic pointed out, hovering up and looking her over.
"This isnt the worst he's done. Im a bed slave." Luna said softly, sniffling as her sister couldnt believe this. She thought it was rough being a slave to Scourge, when really, it was her older sister taking a harder fall.
"Im so sorry." Arctic said, looking at the floor but her wolfy winged sister tilted her head up.
"Its okay, ive been through worse, as have you, and we've both turned out okay no matter what was thrown. And that treatment he gives is nothing to the whipping." Luna said, sitting near the stairs of the throne when the door was being pounded roughly. Both girls could barely breathe as voices, sounding commanding and serious were right outside.
"We followed the trace and that she-beast is in there!" One soldier said. Luna, in a swift move, took Arctic by her furry scruff with her teeth and threw her into another room as the doors slammed open. "There, get her!" They yelled, pinning Luna to the floor on her back, right where her scars were.
The fox slave realized what happened. Years ago, when they were just pups, Luna was taken away by G.U.N, but thanks to her powers being unleashed that day, she was freed and rescued by wolves that raised her, explaining the wolf form she was now in.
"Get off of me! Shadow, please help!" She yelled before a muzzle was strapped on her mouth and her legs were tied, dragging her to a van outside while he speech was muffled.
The van screeched, driving off with Arctics last living family member. But in a few hours, the frost fox would be the last one if something wasnt done.
