Anaktuvuk Clan Den: Holding Cells
Saba woke up about two hours later, "Ugh, my head….where am I?" Saba asked out loud, the guard heard and responded, "Welcome to Anaktuvuk, you're in our den's holding cells." The guard responded. "Wha…..what am I doing here?" Saba asked, confused. "Well, the only reason you're here is because the boss wants you here, we for sure don't want you here, but the boss has his reasons." The guard said. "What reason? I didn't do anything to your clan, and I didn't intend to, I just needed directions or someplace to stay until morning." Saba said, "Well, see, the boss is our Alpha Male Skye, and his mate, the Alpha Female, Silva was killed by hunters and their dogs. I guess it's his idea of revenge, I'm not sure, all I'm doing is my job, keeping you in that holding cell." The guard said. "But I don't belong here, I need to be back in Nome with my family, not stuck in some Holding Cell with whoever you people are!" Saba said, "Well trust me, we don't want you here either, we would have been happy to let you stay here for the night, but trust me, I think you'll be in that cell for longer than that." The guard said, "Hey! What have I told you about talking to prisoners?" A voice asked from down the hallway, "Sorry sir! It won't happen again!" The guard said, "I thought I told you to report when she wakes up!" The wolf said, "She distracted me sir, I'm sorry sir!" The guard said. The wolf approached the cell, "Well well, look who's up." The wolf said, "You! You were the one who had me put in this hellhole!" Saba said angrily, "Well, you and your team were the ones who killed my mate, so I find it fair game." Skye said. "Where did you hear that? I didn't even know who she was, and now I'm stuck here just because YOU believe I did it?" Saba asked angrily. "Well, that would be correct, now, I have a meeting in the main room, so if you'll excuse me…." "Wait! Could you at least let me go to the room with you? I don't want to just sit here and do nothing!" Saba said, "If you'll behave yourself, I see no reason why not, but you'll remain at my side at all times!" Skye said. Saba sat down as Skye opened the door to her cell, Skye led her to the main room where all of the wolves were sitting, and they all looked at her, and talked amongst themselves. Skye walked up to the front of the group and started to give his welcome, "Good evening my brothers, as you all know, tonight has been an eventful night, and not in a good way unfortunately. As you may or may not know, Silva has been killed by Hunters and their dogs, now, we do not take this lightly, and I shall not either, which is why I introduce you to Miss Saba, our newest addition to the holding cells! She will stay there until we capture the rest of her family in Nome, but, while she is a prisoner, she is to be treated with at least decent respect, she will be given food and water, but she will not be allowed freedom of any kind at all! She is to be left in her cell, and the guards shall not speak with or converse with her." Skye said, the guard from earlier spoke up, "Might I ask why sir?" the guard asked, "Good question Joel, you may not speak to her, as we want her to feel as lonely as possible right now, the only reason she is at my side as of now is because she has requested a last bit of freedom and use of her legs, but from now on, she is allowed no freedom of any kind, I want her to feel the loneliness that I feel right now." Skye said, "But sir, you have us, we're your family, and I believe that capturing this poor girl is wrong, she has done nothing against us and meant no harm at all!" Joel said, "What you believe is right does not matter to me, I am your Alpha and I make the decisions around here, and if I wish to capture and hold one as hostage for my own personal reasons that I believe that I am able to!" Skye said, "But sir, none of us want this! We, as a pack, think this is wrong! She just wanted a place to stay overnight so she could go home in the morning! What danger does she pose to us?" A wolf asked, "She poses no threat, but I seek revenge, and that's why I keep her here, no more questions, meeting adjourned!" Skye said, leaving the room, "Come on, NOW!" Skye commanded Saba to follow him back to her cell. "You know what?" Saba asked, "What?" "Go to hell!" Saba shouted, going for Skye's throat, but Skye dodged and held her down to the floor with his paw, and smacking her in the face, leaving claw marks across her face, "Don't ever try and fight me, you understand?" Skye said, "You'll pay for that, trust me…" Saba said, passing out from the pain, "I hate doing this, but I unfortunately have to, for you Silva." Skye said, looking up.
2 hours passed and Saba woke up in her cell, "Ughh, back in this dump again." Saba said, laying back down, "It won't be so bad, I mean you have food and water right?" Joel said, "Oh, it's you again, you could've helped me you know?" Saba said, "No, I couldn't, I would have been killed, I don't stand a chance against Skye, he's too good at fighting, and he's very strong." Joel said, "How am I going to get out of here?" Saba asked herself, "You won't, you're going to die, Skye won't let you leave this place, not without taking him down that is." Joel said, "How do I take him down?" Saba asked, "You don't, if you try and fight him again, he's going to kill you." Joel said, "I'm willing to bet that your family is worried sick about you right now." Joel said, "I know mine is…." "What do you mean?" Saba asked, "I hate telling this story, but here we go, back when I was a sled dog, I was in a race to Anaktuvuk Mail and back, but sadly, I lost my team in a blizzard, I was the only survivor, and I wandered out here, and when they saw me, they did the same to me, they tricked me into coming inside to stay for the night, and they forced me to guard here, I can't go anywhere, not even back home in Nenana." Joel said, "But your family must be looking for you right?" Saba asked, "I don't know, it's been 3 years." Joel said, "But with my big family, we can bring you in, if they find us." Saba said, "Hah, dream big Saba, that's all I can say, if they find us, I would love to come home with you and your family." Joel said. "Maybe Aleu will find a friend in you." Saba said, "Who is Aleu? Is she your sister?" Joel asked, "She's the most beautiful girl in the world, she's tough, and can take anything." Saba said, "Speaking of her, I wonder how she's doing?" Saba asked herself.
