Chapter #7Dinner/feeding time by: Unknown ''Slave boy! Lord William orders you to feed the beast at once!'' Ordered the guard, grabbing Felix. Felix moaned in protest ''I'm tired!'' the guard raised his hand and smacked Felix across the cheek, sending him to the floor. ''Disobient little runt! Do as your ordered or you'll be killed!'' roared the guard. Felix rubbed his bruised cheek and slowly stood up. ''Y-y---ees... I'll feed it'' he lowered his head and walked silently by the guard. He was taken to the kitchen. He could smell all the food being cooked for Lord william of course. He drooled at the smell, he wish he could eat proper food not the miserable dry bread and water given to the slaves.
In the kitchen Felix noticed a cart with a coffin atop it. He was taken over to the coffin. In it was a body... ''You don't want me to feed him that?!'' gasped Felix. ''Yes I do puny slave. I want MY amarok to get a taste for human flesh. It will make him a lot deadlier when he's older!'' Lord william said from behind Felix. Felix face went white. ''I can't do it! Feed a human to the wolf... no'' he thought to himself. Felix was forced over to the cart. ''Take it now and feed the beast! Fail and you'll regret it deeply!'' ordered lord William. He shoved Felix into the cart. Felix hit it hard, bruising his stomach. He hid the pain and started pushing the cart down to the cells. Lord William watched him leave. ''Puny slave'' he yelled after Felix and walked off to enjoy his luxorious meal.
Felix was followed by two guards. ''Little Felix gotta feed the big doggy!'' mocked one guard. The other guard, not to bright just laughed. Soon Felix made it too the cell the dumb guard opened the door and Felix entered. ''Make sure the doggy eats it all!'' laughs the other guard as he slams the door behind Felix. Felix stopped pushing the cart and waited for his giant four legged friend to come up to him. Nothing happened. ''Wolf?'' asked Felix. A loud whine filled the cell followed by rattling chains. Felix gasped ''No! They've chained you!'' He walked into the cell and finally saw the wolf. Four large shackles and chains held it down. The poor thing could hardly move. It tried to approach him, but was unable to do so. Felix came, shocked right up to the Amarok. It lowered it's head and licked him. Felix petted it's muzzle. ''Alright boy, calm down.'' he said quietly. The wolf licked him a few more times then laid down. It looked awkward thanks to the chains.
Felix stroked the wolf head, it leaned it's head against him, gentler this time not to knock Felix. ''I bet your hungry, but what they want you to eat is bad'' says Felix to the wolf. He didn't expect it to understand him. ''The Lord wants you to be his weapon, if he does break you he will use you to kill many people. I can't allow that to happen'' Continued Felix. He sat down and sighed ''But what can I do?'' The wolf whined and looked at Felix, sadness filling it's large amber eyes. ''My god! You understood me didn't you?'' gasped Felix. The wolf whined and licked him. Felix hesitated then asked ''Can you speak?'' The Amarok snorted, shaking it's head. ''No, you can't oh well but at least you understand me... I think. We need to get out of here, but I have no keys to free you. I suppose you can't break the chains either''. The wolf whined and nudged Felix towards the door.
Felix could see the door was open, the guards looked in. ''Have you fed the mutt yet little boy?'' barked a guard. Felix sighed ''No, i'm not going to feed the 'mutt'!'' he walked nearer to the door and crossed his arms defiantly. The guards mouth dropped. ''What! Insolent little brat!'' The smart gaurd turned to the dumb guard ''fetch the master guard at once! Notify lord william of this!'' the dumb guard quickly ran off. Felix stayed put, arms crossed. The guard stormed up to him and punched him. ''Pathetic child! I'll give you a good beating! take this!'' The guard kicked Felix, sending him flying across the cold stone floor. The Amarok watched, eyes locked on the guard. It raised it's lips and growled, fangs bared. The guard jumped. The wolf tried to go for him, but was held in place. ''Aww doggy wants to help little Felix eh? Well you can't! Watch this! The guard turned and kicked Felix yet again.
Felix groaned in pain, he was in agony, yet nothing felt broken. The guard went to kick him again when he heard footsteps and voices from the stairs. He looked down at Felix then the door. ''Stupid slave. Now you'll get whats coming for ya!'' he turned and walked back to the door. The Amarok growling angrily at him. The guard found this unsettling, but felt safe because of the chains. ''Stupid dog!'' he murmered. Finally the master guard appeared along with lord William. ''Whats the meaning of this! Slave won't feed my pet and has disturbed MY dinner! Bring him to me!'' snarled the Angry lord. The master guard fetched Felix and brought him, moaning up to lord William. Felix was barely concious, he looked down at the Lords fancy shoes. ''Look up at me, slave!'' roared Lord william. Grabbing Felix's collar.
Felix looked at his master, smiling. ''How dare you! Right I can't kill you... but i'll torture you for the rest of your life! Right here so the beast can watch, see pain, hear pain and want to bring pain! Tie him to the walls then flog him, twenty times! I'm off to eat my dinner, I expect to hear the boys screams echoing throughout the corridors as I head back!'' Lord William turned and stormed off. The master guard pulled out a long whip. ''You heard the lord! Tie him to the wall and let him squel!'' the guards forced Felix up against the wall and tore off his ragged top. Felix was to weak to resist. The master guard prepared to whip Felix. The wolf growled viscously from behind. The guards cowered in fear. ''Fools! The beast is chained! It can't get you so stop cowering... or you'll all be slaves as well!'' yelled the master guard. He turned to Felix. ''Take this, puny kid!'' CRACK!! ''Arrgh!'' yelped Felix, as a gash opened up along his back, blood poured out the wound. CRACK!! again CRACK!! The wolf watched, rage building from within... It pulled and pulled at it's chains...
