Let Me Live

Fight. Pain. Darkness. Sleep Pain. Fight. Darkness. Sleep. Can not give up, must keep fighting. All I know. Would be easy to give in and die. Have tried but couldn’t. Others have not come for long time. Pain in stomach. Have not had food for very long time. So weak. Wolf in head sleeps, too weak to wake. Floor is cold. Hay is itchy. Too weak to get up. Hurt too bad. Don’t want to sleep. See more bad things. Just lay and try to rest. Light! BAD!! Must get up! Must fight!! Others come and bring pain! Struggle to feet. Legs no work, must lean on wall. NEVER bow head! Watch every move! Not mean man called Roman comes. “Alpha Drake is coming. Will you please try to behave yourself this time?” He says words. Alpha Drake means big pain! Growl at him. “Why do you defy him so? Why can’t you just submit? Bow your head and obey so you don’t get hurt. If he beats you again, you may not survive this time! Don’t you understand?!” He looks at me with strange eyes. Not hate eyes like others. Don’t know all words he says but know must fight! Footsteps come! Roman steps back and bows head. Alpha Drake comes to door. Give him hate eyes and growl. He steps in cage with one called Beta Derek. Look cold at me. “My patience is running out, little creature. For 17 years I have put up with your insolence and if you wouldn’t fetch me a damn good price on the market, I would’ve killed your dumbass years ago.” He says angry words. Me not look away, face him. “Honestly, Drake, I know you feel like you have something to prove with this one since it was your first to train but we have tried every trick in the book. Hell, it’s been in this cell since it was a toddler, and we’ve been trying for the past 8 years to break and train it. It should’ve been the easiest to groom but it’s obviously too stupid and has gone ferral. Lets just f**k it, kill it and be done with it. At this point is the money even worth the hassle?” Beta Derek says words and anger Alpha Drake. “I know how f*****g long we’ve had it and, trust me, I’ve thought about it more than once but can’t you see the potential if we could break it? On pictures alone I’ve been offered over $3,000,000 for it! We’ll try this last time if we can’t make any progress then we’ll do just that as soon as that asshole of a king has finished his investigation and leaves the area.” Alpha says more words to Beta. Looks back at me. Hate eyes. “Roman, how long has it been since it’s had food or water?” Alpha Drake says words to Roman. “Over 2 weeks since the last scraps. About 3 days since water.” Roman says words with head down. Looks away. “Excellent.” Drake words. “We’ve tried starvation and hand feeding, obviously. It’s gotten used to it by now.” Beta words. “Will you shut up and hand me the apple?” Alpha words. Beta hands Alpha big apple. Stomach hurts. Water in mouth. Want apple so bad. “Ok little creature. Come on, take the apple.” Alpha holds out apple. Trick! Growl at him! Back away. Will not give in! “Come on. Food.” Words sound not mean. Want apple. Alpha steps closer. Press against wall and growl! Alpha looks with angry eyes. “Put it on it’s knees and open it’s mouth!” Alpha words loudly. Beta comes closer! Growl! Still closer! Hit! Claw! Scream! Beta picks me up!! Try to kick him!! “Damn thing may not be strong but it won’t f*****g be still!” Pulls arms behind back! Throws down on knees in front of Alpha! Hard floor cuts knees! Pain! Hair pulled back hard! Alpha grabs jaw and pulls open! Jaw hurts! Pushes apple in mouth, pushes jaw closed! Apple tastes so good! Alpha has mean smile. Spit apple in his face! Hard hit to face! Bones crack! Hit hard floor. “THAT'S IT!” Alpha pulls off belt! HIT! HIT! HIT! HIT! HIT! Hard piece rips skin! So much pain! Alpha kicks chest! Bones break! HIT! HIT! HIT! Blood in eyes! Keeps hitting! Grabs hair, throws body into wall! PAIN! Slide to floor and curl into ball! More hits! Please pain sleep! Please pain sleep! “Alpha. You know I enjoy watching the little cunt suffer but we do have to get ready for that damn king’s arrival this evening. We’ll finish it off later.” Beta words, alpha stops hitting. “Right and I am going to enjoy the hell out of that.” Alpha words and leans down. Touches body between legs! Too weak to hit but try! Alpha steps on hand! Bones break! PAIN! Beta steps on ankle! Bones break! SO MUCH PAIN! Can’t scream! Voice gone! Please come pain sleep! Alpha and Beta leave. Blood all around. Head fuzzy. So much pain and blood! Pain sleep is coming. Roman leans down. “Just hold on, little one. King Titan will be here later and hopefully end this. Just keep fighting a little longer.” Roman words not angry. Soft and scared. Blackness coming. Finally pain sleep.
