*he sat there, stunned and in quite a bit of pain. He slowly pulled the upper half of his body up, trying not to move his tail, in fear of the spike ripping it open. His body shot with pain as he looked down to see the blood forming a small puddle around the base of his tail. He yelped out for help, knowing that removing the spike would only increase the bleeding. He looked about, looking to see if there was anything that would be able to soak up blood and put pressure around the wound, when he heard, and felt, the thick oak door slam shut, a wooden bar falling from the ceiling and landing on a block of wood, effectively locking the door from the inside. He let out a scream as most of the light was shut off, only some old candles lit all over the room kept any light. He looked about, his breath quickening as he now became a bit more flustered. Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw something blue flash by from the left, heading towards the right. He looked but all he saw was darkness...till suddenly from the far right he saw it again. He let out a little meep, his breathing getting harder and faster as he started looking frantically about him, with each jerk he felt the spike tug and tear a bit more at his flesh, causing him to wince and cry out some in pain. He turned around, sitting on the ground and tried moving the spike with his fingers. The rusted iron however, broke off a bit as he grasped it, and it sliced against his right paw, a deep red line quickly forming and oozing out onto his palm. He cussed and quickly grabbed at it with his left paw, planting pressure against the deep, thin cut. As he sat there almost rocking in place, he felt something smack against his lap. He looked down and saw the starch white skull of a fox, it's toothy grin and empty<br/>eyes staring deep into his soul. He sat there for a moment, his body shaking, till finally he lost it and started screaming at the top of his longs, lashing out with his injured paw and batting the skull away, a small line of blood falling across the floor. He grabbed his tail and tugged on it upward, crying out as he did so...but he couldn't stay there..he had to get out*
