Kie was panicked out of his wits, not even realizing another creature was approaching from inside the room.<br/>His tail was thrashing frantically, paws scratching at the chain as he tugged and pulled to try and claim his freedom.<br/>The young kit could hear footsteps heading towards him in the hallway, guards probably moving to check in rooms that had doors slightly ajar.<br/>He fidgeted a few moments later, running out of energy since he barely ever received food.<br/>...and that's when he saw the other creature.<br/>It looked a little strange, but who was he to judge? The little fox had spent most of his life in a tiny cage, locked away from the world and the creatures that might live there.<br/><br/>However, getting near a panicked animal was never a good idea. Kie bared fangs at her, growling almost silently as to not alert those outside.<br/>His dirty hair poofed up in a warning....right as his chain slipped free of the door?<br/><br/>She was...helping...?<br/>A loud 'bang' of a gunshot sounded out in the hallway, forcing a surprised jump from Kie and a panicked bolt between cargo boxes.<br/>The room was decently large and he ran as fast as his little legs could take him, dragging the heavy chain behind himself.<br/><br/>The woman had probably issued a kill order, since the last few years she'd only used him to snuff out her cigarettes...she probably just wanted his pelt now...<br/>The thought alone made him sick to his stomach.<br/><br/>When Kie got to the furthest corner he could manage he actually shimmied under one of the crates that was up on five inch blocks, managing to fit just enough to hide himself, though the chain remained out.<br/>It was perfect timing because when he finally stopped moving the door to the room slowly opened.
