*Humans*

Arya was placed in her usual pen with Dakota and the other wolfess.

Chahaya and Autumn were stuck in a pen to the left of Arya's. Each were given a bucket of water and a few peices of meat for when they woke up.

Arya and Autumn

Arya slowly awoke, stretching and yawning. She sneezed and shook her coat clean. She looked over herself and noticed that there were two spots of new fur. One orange and the other white. She stared at herself.

Autumn awoke painfully and slowly. She lay on Chahaya, whimpering softly.

*Humans* & Chahaya

Chahaya woke slowly, rumbling softly as she came too. "Autumn..." She groaned, then lifted her head, blinking away the drowziness. "Autumn, are you alright?" She said, wiping a paw across her face and looking to the cub.

It wasn't long after the creatures had been placed in their pens, when some new humans showed up. They came sneaking up from the woods, and one carried bolt cutters in his hands. While two of the humans looked on, the man used the cutters on the lock that held Arya, Dakota, and the nameless wolf prisoners.

After a moment, a loud snap was heard, and then a clank as the lock fell to the ground. The gate was eased open, allowing Arya and the other two to run out.

Dakota looked on in alarm at the three humans, who seemed very sneaky and suspicious to her. Although she didn't know it, these three people were part of a more extreme animal rights group. Her eyes lit on the bolt cutters for a moment, fearing them as some sort of new weapon. But she had to admit, they did get the door open; so they couldn't be too bad. Uncertain about what to do, she looked to Arlya.

The nameless wolf cowered in the back of the cage, "It's a trick... who knows what that thing will do to us..." She whined pitifully, staring at the cutters.

Chahaya swung around her head, "Make a run for it!" The tiger cried, sensing that these humans were far different than the ones that worked at the Nef lab.

Arya and Autumn

Autumn nodded her head and swiftly ran after Chahaya.

Arya stepped cautiously out. Follow me. I won't let them hurt you. She whispered and trotted out. She saw dakota and barked happily. She turned back to see if the wolfess was still there. C'mon! Don't you wanna be free She said,pleading with her to come.

*Humans* & Chahaya

Chahaya bolted to the safety of the trees before stopping for a moment, "I don't know where Guntar is... but we should head to the Bog for now. It might help conceal our tracks." The tigeress picked up her pace again, heading for the Spinuluse Bog.

Dakota headed out with Arya, her eyes flashing from the humans to her wolf companion.

The other wolfess hesitated, cowering miserably in the corner. Then she gulped loudly and slinked after Arya and Dakota. "Oh, I hope they don't attack..."

But as the tigers and wolves exited the pens, the humans did nothing to attack. In fact, they began to move to the other pens, releasing the other captives... When the Lab workers found this out, major efforts would be done to capture the escapees, as well as new victims.

Arya and Autumn

Autumn nodded and still ran after her.

Arya smiled at them. She was free!
C'mon! Let's head to the ruins! Humans never go there! She knew that much about Sparkling Creek Valley before she was captured. She started to run, and glanced back to see if they were following.
