When Dani awoke a few hours later, Growler was looking down at her with a frown.
" What?" she asked, irritated for some reason.
" You fainted." He said simply.
" SO?" Dani snapped back, blushing as she remembered why she had fainted.
Harry Styles cared abut her?
So much so that she was very important to him?
Dani felt giddy, until she looked over as a sleeping Liam, who looked in horrid condition.
He had been beaten again it looked like, and was covered in sticky, drying blood.
" What'd they do to him?" she asked in a whisper, so as not to wake him up.
"They tortured all the info he could give them out of him, and nearly killed him in the process. He won't be waking up for a while, that's for sure." Growler said, flicking his tail in the air irritably. " Weak humans. That would never happen to a Musckony. We never give in."
" Don't speak of him like that!" Dani snapped at the large canine, who blinked at her in surprise.
" You are a bold, one, to speak so rudely to one such as I." He said, a grin spreading over his face. " If all humans could do that, we would be in a far better place then we are now."
The nest few weeks were hell.
Dani was beaten repeatedly and forced to work as a sex slave and a hired servant with almost no food or rest.
Liam slipped in and out of conciseness, and Dani and the others who were near him shared what little food they had when he could eat and their water when he could drink.
The rats came in every week, and ate alive whoever they chose, usually only younger children.
Dani was soon covered in open sores, and lost the sparkle to her eyes.
The one day, Liam opened his eyes and looked right at her.
" Act nearly dead." he whispered. " Tonight is the night."
Dani did as he said, and when her dad went to drag her out, he left her seeing how she could not even life her head, muttering to himself that it was not long now.
Dani lay there all the rest of the day, in a state of nervous expectation, until evening came.
Then, a blue light was seen out the window, and she heard Liam catch his breath.
"It's starting." He said.
And then the whole place irrupted into chaos.
