Bolt's POV
"This is bull" I groaned in complete annoyance. "What? Being captured by Skinners, or that Kota and Mya are at it again?" Isabel asked. "Both...." I laid my head on the floor trying to block out the sound, but to no avail. I banged my paw on the cold steel wall, "Will you two knock it off?!" "Leave them, Bolt. They aren't gonna stop on your account." "Ugh... This is hopeless." I moaned wondering how Kodie and that new girl are getting along.
Kodie's POV
I was in complete awe. She was probably the most beautiful wolf I'd ever seen. "Um...Hi." I said bashfully. "Where are we?" She asked. I sighed, I had hoped that she would not ask this question. "In human captivity." "You bet your thousand-dollar ass you are!" A voice said. What the hell? "Where are you ? Show yourself!" I demanded. "I'm right above you." I looked up to see a cat, a black cat to be exact. "What's your name, cat?" I asked. "I am Mittens, decider of your fate!" She yelled like she expected us to cower in fear. We did quite the opposite ,we rolled on the ground, laughing. "Stop laughing! I bet you have a funny name, wolf!" She screamed spitefully. "I do not, My name is Kodie and this is...." I gestured to the other wolf. "Kaiya" She said. I once again fell in to a dreamy daze. Kaiya, A wonderful name to fit a beautiful girl..... I was pulled from my stupor when that boy came to the cage. "Hey there, you're awake. Good, that means you likely are not gonna die." He said to her. Though most humans don't know it, we can hear and understand what they say. And, If the need arises respond. But, today I just felt like messing with the kid. "Well that's good, then it would smell terrible in here." I said, waiting for the funny response that was sure to follow. The kid damn near shit his pants, He looked at me with eyes the size of dinner plates and asked that obvious question," Did you just talk ?" "Yep. What about it, short stuff ?" Then the kid passed out. I sighed wondering when they're gonna feed us.
"Did you have to give the kid a heart attack?" Kaiya asked in a annoyed tone. "No, but it was funny." I replied smirking. We sat in complete silence for the next few minutes until I decided it was time to ask the question I'd been dreading, "So, do you have a mate?"
Kaiya's POV
That was a question I had not been expecting. "No, I don't. I don't have a mate." He appeared to have been shocked by my answer. "But, How are you pregnant if you don't have a mate?" He asked innocently. "Think about it for about ten seconds. You'll figure it out." I sneered. He didn't speak for a few moments followed by him sporting a distant look on his face. "Oh my god. She was raped, you idiot." Mittens butted in, rolling her eyes. I winced partly because the painkillers were wearing off and, partly because she said that word. Mittens on the other hand was have loads of fun from her perch on top of our cinder block enclosure. She was apparently really enjoying our collective suffering. I wanted so badly to jump up there and tear that feline to shreds. But, in my current state, that was impossible. Both being pregnant and having been shot three times, it was a miracle I could move at all.
I sighed as I began my story, "I was a born and raised in a puppy mill." Kodie visibly winced. "They bred wolf hybrids; wolves mixed with Huskies. They waited till the females were in heat, then they took us threw us in a cage strapped us down and let the males in." I said, tears forming in my eyes. "Those of us who tried to escape were killed. Life was horrid. I was there for three years before the SPCA raided the mill and freed the wolves. That was a month ago, I didn't know I was pregnant at the time." Tears continued to form and fall, Kodie looked at me. "I.. I'm sorry." He said, at a complete loss for words. "Don't be, It's not your fault." At that the cat began to laugh hard. "Wow, This is new!" Mittens laughed. "What ?" I asked. After laughing for another five minutes the cat managed to get out, "He's in love with you." As soon as the words left her lips, Kodie's ears pressed back against his head. I was in shock, "Kodie, is this true?" He sighed, "Yes it is." He looked to me for some sign of hope I felt the same. Do I love him ? No I don't I just met him... But he is cute, his rust red fur, those amber eyes... What am I saying ? I.. I do love him.... Love at first sight I guess..."I.. don't know what to say.." He turned away sat down and laid his head in his paws, ears still down.
Eventually the human awakened and we.. well, I... had to explain to him that he could not tell anyone that we could talk. Because if he did there would be problems,"Listen, kid. You have to get us out of here." I said. "It's not that easy." Ian responded. "I can't just get you all out of your cages and into the truck and leave. Dad would shoot me before I even got close." Then Kodie spoke for the first time in an hour, "No offense, kid... but your dad's a bastard." Ian sighed, "I know." "Well, what could you do, human?" I asked. "First of all, I have a name, It's Ian. Second of all, I only leave for school, and even with that, I'm only gone for seven hours." "Okay Ian, What could you do in seven hours?" Kodie inquired.
"The only thing I could do is tell the RCMP... But then they ignore most of the complaints they get."
"Is that our only chance ?" I asked. He nodded. "Then you'll have to ask Bolt. He's the white one." Ian once again nodded.
Bolt's POV
"Damn it Kota!" I yelled, extremely annoyed. "Will you two cut it out?!" Isabel added. "Hey which one of you is Bolt?" The human asked. I tilted my head to the side like I had no idea what he was saying. "Bolt! He knows!" Kodie yelled over the wall. I sighed, "I'm Bolt." "I have a plan to get you all of you out of here." Ian said. I raised my eyebrows, "You have my attention."
