Victory
Today, Vixen introduced me to something new: the daily beating.
"Go over there and lie down, belly side up," she told me, pointing to a flat, raised rock at the other side of the clearing. I obediently trotted over and lay down. I noticed another, smaller rock beside the one I was lying on, and Vixen stepped up onto it.
"Place your paws here, here, here, and here," she told me, signaling to some open metal cuffs, or shackles. I lay my paws down in them and she snapped the shackles shut.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Oh, this?" she laughed. "It's an introduction to the daily beating. It's when I claw you, and you try to stay silent, while taking all of the pain…."
"But, why?!" I wanted to know.
"We need to test your inner strength," Vixen told me. "A young cat like you must grow up, accustomed to pain, and the best way to do it is this."
"It's for the best," I meowed brightly.
She laughed, a high, silvery soprano laugh. "Indeed. You are right. Now, let's begin."
She unsheathed her claws and brought them down onto my soft underbelly. I almost squeaked, because it hurt, but I remembered that I had to stay silent, so I did. Instead, my watering eyes watched her, fascinated with every move Vixen took.
She sunk her claws deep into my underbelly, and slowly dragged them across my belly, under my throat. Blood oozed out. She then bit down hard on the wound, and I wriggled.
"Don't move!" she ordered. I stayed still.
She sunk her claws into my tail and pulled hard. Then, she slowly sunk a claw into the side of my throat. She bit down on my chest. Then, she slashed open a gash in my side. Blood poured out, onto the ground. Then, she bit my belly and raked my haunches with her claws, all at the same time, and sat up, licking the blood off her paws. She undid the shackles.
"I think that's enough for now," she said, in between licks. "Get up, please." I obediently did as I was told and struggled up.
I didn't know, then, that I was only being deceived; supposedly, if you trained a kit to take torture and all that before you actually started really torturing them, the shock was not so great. Well.... for me, it was.
She had achieved a small victory over me there, I must admit. But not for long—I ran away as soon as I heard her thoughts that day.... And I made it safely back to my Clan!
