Felix's eyes came across a large sheath and pair of lightly furred orbs by the Amarok's large hind legs. Felix looked away back at the pups large head. ''Your a boy'' he murmured. Felix kept on stroking the Amarok's soft underbelly. The giant pup continued to wag his tail furiously and pant merrily. ''If he's a male, then he'll be very large when he grows. Male wolves tend to be dominant and aggresive. Will he be like that when he's older?'' Felix could see why his evil Lord would want such a creature. ''Maybe he'll not be aggresive unless raised to be so? Maybe if I care for him he will not be that aggresive'' Felix thought to himself.
Another thought came across Felix's mind. ''Maybe I could escape with him. I'll gain his trust and break out of this place, after all he's an Amarok and can plow through walls. Thats if my Lord was not lying as usual'' Felix was so busy thinking of escape he didn't spot the Amarok had fallen to sleep. He stopped stroking the wolfs belly and stepped away from the sleeping beast. The Amarok snored loudly, the Amarok's loud snoring echoed off the walld in the small cell. Felix was not sure what to do next, he could wait for the wolf to awaken or leave the cell. He couldn't work out why, but he felt like staying with the wolf. Sure it was large, powerfull and only an infant yet it was caring towards him. Felix sat down and looked at the wolf, which black fur blended in with the poorly lit cell.
Felix heard voices from the door. A guard opened it and looked around, not seeming to spot the wolf in the darkness. ''Slave! come here now!'' he hissed. You slowly got up and approached the guard. ''The lord orders you to clean out the stables at once'' the guard sneered looking down at the ten year slave. Felix sighed and headed for the stables. He glanced back at the cell, the wolf was hidden in the darkness. The guard followed Felix to the yard. Felix was suspisous, the guards rarely follow slaves to there duties. Felix didn't dare say a word. He entered the stables to be greeted by a fat lady, who was paid by the lord. She smirked at Felix. ''Now little twerp you shall clear out all the hay and muck and lay fresh hay. No slacking, i'll be wacthing you'' she sat down and looked at you expectantly. ''Where's the shovel?'' you ask. ''Shovel? Ha! use your hands!'' laughed the lady. Felix sighed and got to work. The guard stood in the entrance, the lady nodded at him and he left.
Felix couldn't help but think something was going on...
In the cell, the Amarok peacefully slept. Ten guards and the head guard approached the cell, carrying four large shackles. The head guard carried a bottle of sleeping gas. ''Right, first smash the bottle by the beasts nose. Once it passes out, put the shackles on and connect the chains. Don't slack, those who do will become slaves!'' ordered/threatened the head guard. The ten guards nodded and entered the Amarok's cell. ''Good, it's asleep'' said a guard relieved. The head guard stayed by the door, ready to run most likely. He passed the bottle of sleeping gas to a guard. ''Don't fail'' he growled. The guard gulped and approached the Amarok. His hands shook with fear. He pulled himself together and threw the bottle. It smashed by the wolf's great nose. The smashing woke up the wolf. It yelped and rose to its feet. The sleeping gas taking immediate effect. The wolf walked forwards, towards the nearest guard. It whined and fell over with a loud thud. one of it's legs flew out into a guard, throwing him into the wall. A loud snap of his spine breaking filled the air. The remaining guards gluped. The head guard shook his head ''Fools''.
The Amarok passed out. the guards quickly attached the shackles and chains to the pups legs. They quickly ran to the exit, also collecting the dead guard on the way out. The head guard grinned ''His lordship will be pleased... with me of course. Now get back to your posts!'' The guards nodded ''yes sir and quickly headed back to there posts. The head guard took the dead guards body to the store room. He had an idea on what to do with the body. He went to the lord to tell him his little plan...
Felix groaned as he finally finished clearing the stable. The fat lady got up ''About time!'' she dismissed Felix hard work and walked off. Felix sat down, tired. ''I wonder how the wolf is doing, I hope they have not hurt him'' Felix can't beleive it, he actually cares about the Amarok. Despite his thoughts about the Amarok eariler, actually being with it changed his opion. Felix got up and went to return to the slave quarters when a guard approached him...
