??? Pov
I'm finally free.
After all the pain, the abuse, the humiliation, I'm free from that place and can move on. I'm glad I don't have to suffer anymore...
I can feel it all slowly slip into blissful escape, but just as I feel at peace, all of a sudden I hear... shouting?
It's shouts of what sounds to be concern and hostility, but I doubt these are for me. Then I can feel it, am I supposed to feel something at this point? I'm being carried, but by what?
The Voices are getting clearer, and I can hear... explosions? Yelling and what sounds like fighting, and multiple people running in panic.
Where did I go?!
It's strange I can't move my limbs, but I feel as though I could open my eyes, and I do so.
What I'm greeted with is pure chaos. Bright light similar to that seen from massive explosions, and the sounds of metal clashing and a strange language being spoken, followed by more explosions. Strangely, though, these aren't what catch my attention the most.
What catches my eye the most is what I can only describe as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She had lavender eyes, snow-white hair, and a beauty that put all humans to shame; her large, pure-white wings were reminiscent of a dove. I could only describe her as an angel, and this very angel had a look of panic on her face as she carried me.
" Come on, come on! There has to be one left!"
I wanted to speak to the angel and ask what was happening, but I couldn't speak. It was then I could somewhat register that I was not in my body, in fact, I had no idea what I was, but I could only watch and listen as she panicked and was seemingly taking me away from the chaos.
" Yes, I made it!" exclaimed the angel.
She had made it to a somewhat ruined-looking building that looked similar to a government building or what was left of it, anyway. She entered the building quickly and made her way past what looked like a lobby. She made her way to a strange, almost futuristic room that was difficult for me to describe. The only thing I could make out was the large screen she started to activate and press.
" Alright, let's see what's left... no... no... no, oh COME ON, these can't be the only options left for him! There has to be something else!" the angel furiously declared!
Options? For me? Was I being given something? It seemed from her frustration that my options sounded downright awful, and I began to panic. My panic only grew as the sound of explosions and what I now believed were the sounds of fighting drew closer.
"Grrr.. fine, I guess I have to take what I can get," the angel said, almost in defeat.
" Alright... give him this and... this as well... give him these too. I'll have to make an adjustment for this one..." the angel muttered as she quickly touched the screen and picked what I'm assuming are for me, but I couldn't clearly see what it was she was choosing.
" ...as for his origin... I can't believe this is the only decent option left."
As I continued to listen, my questions and panic only grew. Where was I being sent? What was this combination? Why am I here?! Unfortunately, my concerns fell on deaf ears, as it seemed she was putting the final touches. She then placed her hand on the screen, and a strange golden light poured from her hand into it.
"...annnd DONE!"
Once, the angel exclaimed that a small pod appeared from the futuristic wall, and the sounds of fighting grew even closer. The angel placed me in the pod, and before she closed it, she said a few final words.
" I'm so sorry for all of this.. I know what you've been through, and now I'm about to send you to a different place that's going to be harsh and cruel to you, but from what I know about you and the type of person you are... I know you are going to do great things and change everything... farewell."
As soon as she said that, the pod closed, and I was sent flying down away from wherever I was, and the last thing I heard was a loud explosion, and I felt the horrifying speed that I was traveling at, wondering the fate that I've been condemned to, and I soon felt everything turn to darkness.
"....e ...p"
"..ake ..p"
"WAKE THE HELL UP, YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!!!!!"
I suddenly woke to a loud voice and sat up, confused, quickly looking around for the source. There I saw an ugly and burly man with a nasty scowl on his face who quickly grabbed me and tossed me by my neck.
" How long were you planning on sleeping, you lazy bastard? There's work to do!" the man yelled.
I slowly attempted to pick myself up and realized I had use of my limbs again, although... they were far shorter than normal, as were my legs. As I stood up, I slowly began to grow accustomed to my surroundings and, looking at my hands, realized that I had a child's hands and... the shackles that were placed on both my wrists and ankles.
I looked around and realized I was in a horrible, musty-looking cave, and saw more people in shackles being lined up and led down a different path. Various people of different ages were in a line, from children to adults, but despite this horrible sight, one thing grabbed my attention: the cat ears and tail on one of the captives.
As I saw this, I felt something on my lower back and on top of my head, and, confused as to what it was, I quickly spotted a puddle on the floor of the cave and ran to it despite the man's angry yells. As I knelt and stared into the puddle, I saw it.
The face of a young boy with black hair and green eyes, with soot and dirt covering his face, and at the top of his head... wolf ears.
