Mato gives the vampire an evil eye as he carries her down the hall. She sneers at him.

*Does he really think he'll be able to break me! Ha!* He opens another door, and carries her inside. He then drops her on the ground, and shuts the door while looking down at her.

"Now, let's see...where did I put that?" He questions himself. Mato mentally chuckles, and watches him.

*He's weird...OH NO!* She backs up as her eyes grow wide at what he's holding. He looks at her with a smirk.

"So, you know what it is, huh?" He asks. She backs up until she's against the wall. He walks towards her. "Nowhere to go." He taunts. She whimpers, and goes to bite him, but he grabs her. He clamps her jaws shut with the strength that seems so natural to a vampire. He then slips the muzzle on, and locks it into place. He backs up. "Ha! Looks like you're not going to be biting anyone anymore!" He says. Mato rolls her eyes at him as he grabs her, and pulls her towards him. He puts a worn harness on her, and hooks a leash to it. She mentally slaps herself for not running.

*DAMMIT!* She sighs, and pulls on the leash. He watches her for a while.

"You fight against that for a while. I have some things to do, so I'll be back in a few hours." He says with complete calm. She growls at him, and he laughs. "You know, you really should just give up." She looks away from him, and up at a small window. He smiles. "You might as well forget it; you'll never get off that leash." She begins to pull on the leash, and the vampire leaves the room, laughing. Mato stops for a moment in her useless struggle to get free.

*This is just great! Just look at what I got myself into this time...have to think...how am I going to get out of this GREAT pickle? There must be something that I overlooked! Hm...* She looks around the room, and then tries to change back to her human half, only to get a jolt of electricity through her body. She growls. *Dammit! Well, that rules that out, and of course I can't break the damn chain...on account of it being god damn silver!* She sighs, and lies down, whining. *I am such an idiot...why do I always fight...* She slowly falls asleep.

Mato wakes up, and looks up. When she sees a different vampire, she jumps up, and gets into a pounce position. Just before she makes the leap, she hears someone walk into the room.

"You did a great job, Dashin! She's beautiful!" The stranger puts a hand under Mato's chin, and lifts it up. She growls, but instantly stops when she hears a familiar voice.

"Yeah, but she's a pain in the ass! She seems to think she needs to bite." Dashin says. The other vampire turns his head to Dashin.

"So, that's why you have her muzzled. I haven't known you to have to muzzle a wolf since that last black one..." She stares in awe at the two vampires, and thinks about what the vampire had said.

*Black wolf...wait! The only pack that has black wolves is my...PAPA!* She rips her head out of the vampire's grip, and starts growling. The other vampire looks extremely amused at Mato's sudden mood change, and smiles.

"She's got a lot of spirit in her! Should be a great challenge for you." He says. Dashin looks at her, and smiles as well, but he looks more predatory then the others.

"Yeah. I look forward to being able to work with her." Dashin says, grinning his head off. The vampire shrugs.

"Knowing you, it'll all be over in a matter of days. You seem to have a knack with making 'their' kind obedient to you...just like your own she-wolf!" Dashin smiles, and looks at Mato.

"I might just keep her if she turns out like I think she will." Dashin says with a grin plastered across his face.
