I look through grate of my muzzle and past the bars of my cage at the blue sky. My chains rattle as I stretch my limbs and yawn. As I hear footsteps I quickly lay back down. A young boy and girl enter the room carrying a bowl of water and chopped up pieces of meat in a bowl. Two guards walk toward the cage and open it up. The children of the lord place the bowls beside me, before stroking my head with their little fingers. One of the guards taps the children's arms as he hears his lord's voice.<br/><br/>"My lord and lady, your father is coming. If you don't want him to get hurt anymore, I suggest you guys get out of here as fast as you can. There is a side door over there. Hurry I can hear his heavy footsteps approaching." Kris and Krista nod and as the guard closes and locks the cage again, they rush out the side door seconds before their father enters the room.<br/><br/>"Well slave shall we try this again, he says dangling the key to my padlock infront of me. Are you going to behave this time?" I nod and tears fall down my eyes. The lord grabs the padlock and fits the key in the lock, with a click it comes off. Get out, he growls. I leap out of the cage causing my chains to rattle. Lets go for a walk you and I. I'm afraid that I can't remove the muzzle until tomarrow, you understand why don't you. I solemnly nod my head as he grabs the chain attached to my collar and leads me out the back door. As I leave the darkness of my cage, the light of the morning sun should blind me but instead I can see perfectly. I breathe in the scents around me and feel the wind against my face. My view however is limited because of the muzzle around my head. My chains rattle as we wander the grounds for some time. Then as my master sits on a bench I leap onto the empty space beside him. He strokes my fur and looks out at the lake. I look up at him but say nothing, for I am too frightened to do so.
