When Mato wakes up, she smells something.
*Another wolf?* She mentally wonders, and watches as the vampire walks in leading another she-wolf. Mato looks towards the cage entrance. The vampire opens it, and lets the strange she-wolf inside. He puts her in the cell across from Mato's. She watches the other she-wolf.
*Hm...* She sighs. The other wolf looks over at her, and she turns around, ignoring the other wolf. The vampire watches, laughing.
"You know, you should probably get used to having other wolves around. I hear your soon-to-be owner also has a male." Even the mention of a male-wolf makes Mato sick to her stomach. She turns around, and stares at the vampire with hatred in her eyes. The vampire just continues to laugh. "Not a very pleasant aspect, is it?" He questions with a smirk on his face. With that, he walks out of the kennel like room. She growls.
*Just wait till I get out of here! You'll regret all you have done!* Mato swears. The other wolf walks up to the gate of the cage. Just before she touches the bars, Mato growls.
*I wouldn't do that if I were you... The bars are made out of silver.* Mato says once she got the other she-wolf's attention. She snorts her annoyance.
*Is it really?* the she-wolf asks in a small voice.
*If it wasn't, do you think I would still be here?* Mato asks. The other wolf takes a few steps backward after hearing the annoyance in Mato's voice.
*I don't know.* the other wolf whispers. Mato sighs as she shakes off her annoyance, and looks in the other wolf's eyes.
*What's your name?* Mato asks. The other wolf lifts her head in pride.
*Quincie. My name is Quincie. What's yours?* Mato looks at her with a grin, cocking her head to the side.
*My name's Mato. That's all you need to know.* Mato says as she curls up on the ground, and lays her head on her tail. *You might as well get some sleep before the new rounds begin.* Mato says in a tired sounding voice
*Yeah, I guess you're right...* Quincie sighs, and also lies down. The two of them fall asleep.
A few hours pass, and the vampire walks back into the kennel. He opens Mato's cage, and walks inside. He walks up to her sleeping form, bends down, and straps a collar to her neck. He then stands up, and pushes a button on the small remote. Mato yelps, and jumps to her feet as a jolt of electricity passes through her body, making her hair stand up. She turns to the vampire, and growls. He merely watches her.
"You sure can take a great deal of pain, can't you?" He says in a completely unaffected tone. She gives him an evil eye, and jumps on him, continuing to growl at him while showing her teeth. He looks up at her. "I see you're going to be a challenge." He says as he pushes her off. She whimpers as she hits the silver wall, and falls to the ground on her stomach. He walks towards her. "This should be fun." He mumbles under his breath, grabbing her by the scruff of the neck. She growls at him, again, and tries to scratch him. He smiles. "Not going to happen!" He says as he grabs her ear, and sinks one of his fangs into it. She lets go of his arm, and pulls her head away with a yelp. He smiles. "Don't like the feeling of my fangs, huh?" He asks with satisfaction.
