caged a shot to the head
#1 of caged
My muse poked me again
Cold, dark, chained? The cobwebs of unconsciousness slowly cleared as he looked around. Darkness remained as only sounds and smells, the only thing to greet his senses other than the metal wall chilling his back. He heard clicking sounds, nails on metal? As a set of glowing orbs came closer he realized it was the eye shine of something quite a bit larger than him. A rumble and growl startled him as the eyes came down to his level. Warm breath with a bit of a coppery smell like blood rushed over his face. Part of him wished for light, yet the other part was happy not to see, hoping that what ever his end, it would be quick.
"What are you?" He whispered, his voice causing the eyes to rise up. His head rolled up following them as they reached nearly 7' off the floor. Then as quick it turned and he heard the clicking as it walked away. "PLEASE! Let me go!" As he struggled but was held fast by the chain around his neck. He could sit or stand, yet the chain didn't allow him to lie down. He felt around his neck not finding anything to release himself, then checked the rest of himself he found keys and his cell phone.
Blinding light flooded his eyes as the screen flashed to life, 80% left on the battery, no signal, no wifi, no gps signal...where the hell am I? He wondered as he turmed on the flashlight app. The weak beam showed him in a room with other chains on the wall, "hello?" Silence was the only sound other than a soft throb in the floor and wall, then a gut wrenching pull in his very being ripped thru his body and was gone just as quick as the throb in the floor and wall even stopped. "What the hell was that!?" As darkness claimed his mind, he slumped to the floor unconscious taking him quickly.
He woke again, this time he realized his keys, phone and worse his clothes was gone. And the metal table he was laying on was cool but he couldn't move. He realized he was face down and could feel strange sensations, like a string getting pulled from the back of his head unraveling from somewhere inside his mind. He heard sounds, yet they made no sense, he couldn't focus on them, like his ears didnt pick anything up yet he seemed to want to listen more. He yelped as a flash of pain with a crack sounded thru his skull leaving a burning heat at the back of his head. His pain was forgotten however when he heard a rumbling voice say "Why are you awake?" Then darkness took him again.
When he woke, he found himself this time with no chain and still no light. The air was chilly but bearable as he started to explore the room, he bumped into a solid mass of fur. A sharp growl meet his ears, "Watch where your going!" As he fell back, pain lancing in his side as he felt a vise close on his arm stopping his fall.
" OWWW!" He cried as he clutched he side in pain, as he felt the wetness trickle down, " Let me go! I cant see in the dark! Im sorry! Please let go!" He begged. Then the room began to light up with a dim glow, he looked around and seen his captor for the first time. To say he was big was and understatement. He looked and seen a furry arm and massive paw clamped about his arm and the pain was from the claws that poked his side, the blood still slowly seeping. The paw released him and he scrambled backwards in fear.
"Hmmmm, keep that up Meat! I love that scent of fear, makes me even more interested in your taste." Growled the hulkin brute of a beast. Easily 300lbs of fur and muscle and towered over the man as he wimpered trying to put distance between them. The beast closed the space between them in a blink and was nose to nose to the human, and before the human thought twice, the beast's teeth clacked together as the human drove his knee into the bottom of his jaw.
"OOH SHIT! OH SHIT!" the human scrambled away as the beast stood rubbing it's jaw and then grabbed his leg hoisting him from the floor like a bag of spuds. " NO NO NO! LEMME GO!" The human screamed, then the beast roared, the room went silent as he passed out still dangling in it's grasp.
Pain, his side burned, his head hurt, his leg was sore, and he noticed dried blood was stuck on his side. He touched the back of his head and felt something like a coin stuck to the base of his skull. He tried to remove it but he heard a chuffing sound of the beast's laughter.
"That wont come off like that Meat, its bonded to your skull. Now come over here so i can look at you." The beast was in the corner sitting on a matt looking at him with glowing eyes. The human hesitant, remained still till the beast growled louder. " Don't try my patience! Get over here now!"
The human approached him, shaggy fur, golden eyes with virtical slits so narrow that the gold looked like unbroken pools. He wasnt all black but a bit of brown on the undersides and a bit around the eyes. The bared pointed teeth showing the true carnivorous nature of the beast as the predatory gaze settled on the human.
A trembling whisper reached the beast's ears, "What did you do to me?, what are you?"
" What I am is not important, your future, however short it may be, is whatever I chose to make of it. The device on your head does several things including translation, tracking, and will keep your mind alive even when your body is badly damaged. And it has an extra function.." as he raised a small remote and clicked it, the human felt a slight thump at the back of his head, he fell, body limp with a flash of pain when he hit the floor. The beast approached and leaned down to lick the side of the humans face and rumbled in his ear " It will allow me to do what I feel like, even to the point when I decide to feed apon you. And you may or may not feel it depending on my mood each time."
He scooped the human up and carried him over to the corner and dumped him on the floor, hitting the button again the human found he could move again. " You will stay there till I have need of you, be silent for I have work to finish before we start."
The human scooted back into the corner, hugging his knees to his chest, fear dancing thru his core like a busy school playground. "Keep my mind alive...feed upon me..mood each time...what the hell?" The words echoed repeatedly thru his screaming mind as he came to realize the real terror was his life may not end as quicky as he would hope
