Bree stepped back, tears welling up in her eyes.

It was more the shock than actual pain, really, the lines were thin and not too dep.

Still, the girl felt warm blood trickling down her skin.

She stared at the beast that was crouching low, growling at her.

"What the hell was that for?!"

She turned around, in direction of the elevator to get medical aid.

God, Mr. Davenport was going to kill her!

"You stepped to close to my cage."

Bree stopped dead in her track, all thoughts of injuries fleeing out of her mind, slowly, she turned around.

"You, you spoke?"

The creature glared at her.

"Of course I did."

Its voice was low, almost like a purr, and it had a rough edge, every sentence ending in a growl.

"I never heard an anthro speak before."

"We don't like to speak, it is a human thing."

"Earlier, you said I was too close?" It came out more as a question than as a statement but the beast understood.

It growled again, claws and fangs bare and ready to attack if the human dared coming closer.

"It is my territory."

Bree sighed, realizing the anthro wasn't going to relent.

Two people stood at the man's feet.

Human and anthro, their heads bowed in submission.

"I wish for a new pet."

At the man's voice the other two glanced at each other a wicked smile in both their faces.

"Is your pet in the university master?" Asked the anthro.

"He is."

The human cocked an eyebrow, still smiling.

"It won't be difficult to capture him then."

Next chapter we'll see the reason why Chase is being so aggressive and a little bit of his point of view.
