Chapter Three-Body and Soul

She was led to a large, open room where a rather unusual looking man sat in a large chair. The dog was already there; pulling unsuccessfully at the chain and trying to escape.

The man got up, and walked even closer. He was tall, with dark blue/violet hair. His eyes were his strangest feature; one was blue while the other was a feral yellow.

He looked down at the girl, then only once briefly glanced at the still snarling 'dog'.

"Name?"

"Uh...my name?"

"That is what I asked."

"Oh...it's Tsu."

The man nodded and then he turned to the dog.

"And you?"

He addressed it, and it almost exploded in an attempt to kill the man.

Damn human! You'll never survive! Just you wait until my fangs find you!!!

Tsu stared at the 'dog' in absolute shock. The man just threw his head back and laughed derisively.

"Oh, the wolf' spirit in such a fierce thing!"

"HEY! You be nice to that poor dog! He's a good dog!"

Tsu screamed at the man, breaking free of the man who was holding her and she barely managed to step three angry steps before the man turned to give her a look. She froze in her tracks; the man's yellow wolf eye piercing her mind and what seemed to be her very soul.

"So...I see. Little Tsu, you are just like me. A wolf permanently turned into a human."

WHAT!?!?!?

The she-wolf howled, staring at the noble and the human cub. Yes...she could see when the noble could have reached that conclusion. The cub's body may be currently human; but inside she was as much of a wolf as she was.

The man laughed once again.

"Body and Soul..."

"Lord Darcia...what do you want for us to do with them...?"

"Put them in their cells...for now..."
