I wander alone a deserted road with my tale slowly swishing behind me and my eyes fixed on the nothingness ahead. I had not eaten for 3 days and water around these parts are a bit scarce. I wobbled a bit as my vision get blurry. I turn my head as I start to hear a sound of what might be a wagon. Horses were coming right for me as I collapse. I opened my eyes but only for a brief moment only seeing a shadow before i pas out again. When i finally came to I seen some food in front of me and attacked it without hesitation and then garbed some water that i seen and guzzled it down. The ground under me was shaking and when i finally looked around I found out that I was in a cage.
I looked at the driver of the wagon I was in with a bit of a scared look upon my face as he spoke. "Now that your awake it will be a lot easier to sell you for gold." I could not speak. I shook the cage a bit but it would not budge. He hit a big bump on the road and i flew back in to the bars on the cage. "I would stay still if i were you. Don't want to ruin your worth." I seen a marking on his coat of what looked like a human on a caller and it hit me. I was captured and was going to be sold as a human pet. I just sat there shivering a bit knowing that I was going to be given a way like a dog.
Two people came up the the man that was driving the wagon. They both had seem as if they wanted to buy me. I think for a second and realize that if i could get bought then I would at least be out of this cursed cage. I get as close as i can to them looking at them through the bars. They both looked at me again and then back at the old man. One started the bid at 50g i fall back on my butt. I can't believe that i would be sold for such a low price. I quickly regained my self and look through the bars at them again. the price had been already raised to 2000g. My eyes opened wide then before i knew it the person on the left yelled out 6500g. Peoples heads turned to him as he though the gold on the set of the wagon. The wagon master looked at the man to the right and he shook his head then started to walk away. "Sold" the old man said with a great grin on his face. He opened my cage and the winner put a caller on me faster then I even had time to run.
A few weeks went buy and all he did was drag me around the streets wearing a bit more of high standard cloths as if to show me off as a trophy. I would play along hopping that some one better would save me from the madness that he would put me through when we were at the house. When he was done he would drag me home and make me change immediately saying "Those cloths are only for show this is what you truly are..." He would start to turn away and stop and turn his head slightly just so much as i could see one eye. "And don't forget it." I would nod in agreements and scrub his floors clean. I was nothing but the definition of a slave.
I have tried to flee from this place a few times only to find my self back here again. I had almost given up when the butler that he had come get me and told me a short story of his travels. "Back when I was a lot younger and I lived in this place with my parents I would always run out back and play in the yard. There was never really much to play with but I always made do with the best I could find. But one day I was playing by the river and I had seen a fox drinking from the other side. It was small with a beautiful coat that shined in the sun. I had never seen anything so breathtaking in my life that I stepped forward without thinking to get closer and i had stepped on a branch that make me lose my footing and fall into the river. I was drowning as well as being swept down river. The fox through its head up and watched as I was being taken harshly down stream. It ran beside me and jumped in but it to could not swim. But it grabbed on to me any ways and a bright light took form and we ended back on shore. At that time i could have swore that i herd its thoughts saying wish wish make a wish. I could not say anything. I looked into the old face of the butler and seen his eye. From then i knew that I was the one that he saved that day.
