Home is Good! [Need a Master!]

[Shilo]

[Feel free to make my name whatever you want as long as it isn't Shilo please.]

The wolf lay asleep on the couch even though he knew he wasn't supposed to be on it because his claws could poke holes in the leather. It would help if it wasn't so soft and comfortable, or the fact that he just ate a lot. His white fur showed here and there from under the blanket. The tip of his nose poked out from underneath as well, allowing the canine to breathe from under the cover. He didn't even hear his master walk in the room...

[FoxxPaw]

The fox stretched, before sitting up right, looking around. looking outside, he guessed it was sometime in the late afternoon. Roger stood, shielding his eyes from the sun shining through the window. After brushing his fur out a bit, he padded off to look for the wolf.

Roger padded in quietly, taking note of the lump hiding under the blanket. You've got to be joking. he thought, walking over to the wolf, staring down at him.

"you know you're not supposed to be lying on there." Roger said sternly, his arms folded across his chest.

[Shilo]

The wolf yelped as soon as he realized he was caught and quickly tried to scramble off the couch. He knew it was too late and layed down in front of Roger with his head low.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shook his head kneeling down in front of the wolf, tapping his nose lightly. "If you keep doing that I'm going to start taking you off myself." He said, staring into the wolfs eyes, his ears pulled back slightly.

[Shilo]

The wolf flinched as his nose was tapped, but after seeing that nothing else was coming, he got up and licked Roger's face.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger, stared at the wolf for a moment, his frown eventually breaking into a smile as he shook his head, amused, reaching out to ruffle the Wolfs headfur. "I just can't stay cross with you can I, buddy?" He muttered, sitting on the ground, running his paw over the wolfs neck.

[Shilo]

The wolf smiled and lays down in my master's lap, belly up.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger smiled, scritching the wolf's stomach with a paw, staring absent-mindedly out of a nearby window, watching a few birds hopping around in the grass.

[Shilo]

The wolf murred and stretched out with his eyes closed. After a few minutes he drug the blanket into a corner before curling up in it and going back to sleep.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger laughed quietly, watching the wolf for a few minutes before standing up to head outside.

[FoxxPaw]

As Roger stepped out of the house, a cool breeze blew through his fur. After shutting the door behind himself, the fox padded out into the middle of the lawn, flopping onto his stomach, A smile decorating his face. He took a deep breath, letting it out in a long sigh as he turned over onto his back to stare up at the clouds, lying there simply lazing around.

[Shilo]

[Spring? Fall?]

[FoxxPaw]

[Spring? Fall?]

[^-^; Either or]

[Shilo]

After awhile the wolf woke up again and searched around for Roger. After seeing him through the screen door, he scratched at it try and get his attention so he could come out.

[FoxxPaw]

Rogers ears perked up at the sound. Pushing himself into a sitting position he caught sight of the wolf.

"Hey! Don't scratch at that!" Roger said, standing up. "you're going to make holes in it."

Padding over, he slid open the door for the wolf, shaking his head slightly. "you know you could just bark if you want to get my attention." Maybe I should use something instead of a nylon screen... he thought, looking at it.

[Shilo]

The wolf quickly jumped outside and rolled around on the grass. He scratched his neck for a second. It was really starting to itch more and more. He rolled around in the grass more before cuddling up next to Roger.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger watched the wolf, highly amused. After a few minutes, he lay back down in the grass, folding his paws behind his head.

"you've been scratching more often lately..." Roger said, glancing over at the wolf. I wonder if he even understands what I'm saying half the time... he thought.

[Shilo]

He scratched again before yawning and stretching out and laying against his master's side. He liked being outdoors. He wished he could go further then the lawn, but the fence always kept him in. He WOULD find a way around that someday!

[FoxxPaw]

Roger turned slightly to pet the wolf, smiling inwardly. It's probably time you took another bath... he thought.

Like the wolf, Roger enjoyed being outdoors, but to leave the house to enjoy nature would mean leaving the wolf back home. If there was some way he could be sure the wolf wouldn't get himself into trouble, he wouldn't mind taking him out every once in a while.

[Shilo]

He murred slightly as he was petted. He loved getting attention. he rolled over to so that his belly was against Roger and snuggled up next to him, his eyes closed.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger smiled, draping his arm over the wolf, running his fingers through the fur on his back. He sighed quietly, closing his eyes, knowing that there would come a time when not everything will go as smoothly as it had.

[Shilo]

[lol plot twist! Yay! Hope it's interesting. Also, going to bed unless you reply in like 5 minutes. Kinda tired. Also, did you ever decide on a name?]

The wolf napped quietly against his side, breathing deeply and murring softly from the petting. He twitched his tail every now and then in the breeze.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed was flying, looking for a place to sleep for the night after he was kicked off the rooftop of an apartment house when he was caught sleeping there, some mean lynx archers saw him in the air and decided to take aim. Thuwed was hit in the wing the leg and the abdomen, he went on flying now looking for a place to land and nurse his wounds but alas there was no where he could hide. FInally the bloodloss made him passout and fall from the sky landing hard a few meters from a fox and a wolf that were laying together in the grass.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger jumped up, surprised. He backed away from the dragon, a paw over his muzzle. He stared at the dragon for a while, leaning up against the wall. still shocked, Roger looked the dragon over, shifting slightly, not exactly used to seeing blood.

[Shilo]

The wolf looked up as his master got up, wondering what was going on. When he looked up and saw the dragon, he sprang to his feet and started growling.

[FoxxPaw]

"E-easy Buddy..." Roger said, beckoning the wolf over. Staring at the dragon nervously, Roger looked at the wounds, swallowing slightly. He knew all too well that the dragon could easily bite a limb off with little trouble.

[Shilo]

He stood behind Roger, looking out from behind his legs at the large thing that was on the lawn.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked at the dragon for several long minutes before taking a few tentative steps towards the beast, his ears laid back.

[Thuwed]

The dragon lay unconscious on the lawn still bleeding from his wounds, the impact had broken one of his wings and driven the arrow in his abdomen all the way through the other side, if he did not receive aid quickly he would die.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger stared at the arrows for a moment before padding up to the dragon, snapping the arrow in his leg off a few inches away from the point of entry. Glancing at the arrow in the dragons abdomen, he swallowed pushing the dragon onto his side, taking care to move his wing out of the way before stripping the fletching from the arrow and breaking off the tip. Deciding against pulling the arrow out of the beasts abdomen, he moved around snapping the shaft of the arrow in the dragons wing before taking several steps back, shaking his head slightly.

[Thuwed]

The dragon groaned in anguish starting to come to but his vision was blurry and he was nauseous. He tried to get up but but was to weak, he couldn't see the fox or the dog that were looking at him but he could hear them past his disorientation, he weakly said "help" as he lay there.

[Shilo]

The dog snarled at the dragon, staying back. He didn't know what it was, but he knew it was big enough to eat him in one bite.

[FoxxPaw]

"Easy buddy... He's in no condition to be much of a threat." roger said looking at the dragon again.

This is going to be really hard to explain if I have to call someone to come over and look at him... Roger thought uneasily, staring at his paws which were now covered in the dragons blood. "What did you do?" He said quietly, wiping his paws off in the grass.

[Shilo]

The wolf whined before retreating up to the screen door, watching at a safe distance.

[Thuwed]

The dragon recovers his vision and snarls at the fox in front of him, then he remembers what happened and starts to whimper, weakly he asks, can you help me?

[FoxxPaw]

Roger, shifted slightly, resisting the urge to back away from the dragon. "I...I dont know..." he muttered quietly, staring at the wounds. "the best I could do now is call for help but...How i'm going to explain a dragon falling out of the sky is beyond me..."

[Shilo]

The wolf whined at the door, wanting to get in. Pretty soon he would try to gnaw his way through the screen door. He didn't like that dragon!

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced back at the wolf, padding over to the door and sliding it open before heading back to the dragon, staying just out of his reach. He left the door open in case the wolf decided to come back out but he doubted Buddy would want to come back out at the moment.

[Shilo]

The wolf quickly went over to his blanket and curled up underneath it, trying to ignore the dragon.

[Thuwed]

The dragon looked at the fox almost begging, "please" he said weakly, The dragon was not going tho hurt the fox, he had never wanted to hurt anyone, all he wanted was to serve someone and be loved, but the master he was running from had been so cruel, he was beaten daily for no reason and whipped to a stupor as his scars would reveal. The dragon kept looking at the fox pleading with his eyes.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger stared at the dragon for a moment before heading inside. ok well... Whatever happened, he's gotta get something other than mediocre treatment. he thought, picking up an old bed sheet and a dowel before heading back outside. "ok well, I can only do so much with what I've got... I'll do what I can then you're going to have to get to the ER." Though the best I can really do at the moment is just stop the bleeding. I dont know about that arrow in his abdomen though, that doesn't look too good.

"you mind telling me how you got in such a mess?" Roger asked, kneeling down by the dragon's wing, placing a paw to either side of the wing bone.

[Thuwed]

Lynx archers he said, please don't take me to a hospital , my old master will... he will kill me!

[FoxxPaw]

"I'm no medic you know. It'd be better if you were to get someone who really knows what they're doing." Roger said, running a paw lightly over the bone, guiding it into place. "I can always have them come over here and look at you instead, though It would be a lot better if they could take you there to see just how serious it all is."

The fox gripped the sheet in his muzzle, Tearing a strip from the sheet, wrapping it around the dragon's wing before securing the dowel in place with a few other strips.

"you said you were running from your previous owner?" Roger asked, before folding the sheet and standing up.

[Shilo]

Buddy took the oppertunity of the distraction to curl back up on the couch and go to sleep.

[Thuwed]

The grateful dragon said "he bought me as a hatching i never got to know my parents, he beat me constantly, he starved me and forced me to serve him sexually, and he always said if i ever ran he would kill me, and since I'm still registered as his pet the hospital is required to report to him, he will torture me to death".

[FoxxPaw]

"I don't suppose you're from a completely different area then..." Roger said, staring at the dragon for a few moments. "I...do you think he'd let me buy you off?" Who am I kidding... no doubt he payed a fortune to get a dragon...

[Thuwed]

"he might but it would be in the millions, and I'm not worth that but i thank you for the thought" *groans* "i don't think i can walk on this leg so i'm at your mercy, my fate is in your paws" Thuwed was sure that he would be turned into his master but he was content to die in the grass first, it would be much less painfull.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked around for a moment before heading back inside. on his way to the back, he noticed the wolf lazing on the couch again.

"Buddy, get off..." he called, heading off leaving the wolf for the time being. After gathering up a few things, Roger padded back outside, carrying a small bucket of water and a few rolled up towels, kneeling down at the dragons side.

"alright, I'll do what I can but I can't guarantee that you'll be able to avoid the hospital all together." He said. "this is going to hurt, just so you know..." He added, gripping the arrow shaft with a pliers, carefully extracting the arrow head before pressing the towel over the wound.

[Thuwed]

* the dragon growled deeply and snarled at the pain digging gashes into the lawn* * he contorted until the arrows were out tears in his eyes and he gave a heartfelt thank you* "thank you so much for your kindness, i promise i will make it worth your wile"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shook his head slightly, washing the arrow head off as he pressed the towel down with a knee. Taking what looked to be a type of syringe with a cup at the tip instead of a needle he filled it with some water from the bucket, removing the towel and squirting the water into the wound rinsing it out. After he was satisfied that it was thoroughly cleaned, he went on to stitch the wound up, placing a gauze pad over the stitching, securing the pad in place with a gauze tape before moving onto the next wound.

"so...can you tell me a little about yourself?" Roger asked, working on the next wound, hoping the conversation would take his mind off the current pain he was no doubt experiencing at the moment.

[Thuwed]

The dragon snarled at each treatment not enjoying the pain. "Well aside from my life with my master Ive been living on the streets going where i can to find food and shelter being kicked out for trespassing and that's about it.......oh and I'm a vampire...."

[FoxxPaw]

"Must've been hard not having anywhere to stay..." Roger said, suddenly a bit more wary of the creature. "uhm, what's your name by the way?" He asked, changing the subject as he finished treating the wounds, washing off his paws.

[Thuwed]

"my name is Thuwed but Ive gone by slave all my life, and" he sighed "it is hard going from place to place and meal to meal but that's the way it is i suppose. I cant thank you enough for all your kindness...here" Thuwed gave the kind fox a medallion in the shape of an angular teardrop with a saphire in the center. " That will protect you from misfortune, It does not work on dragons but it will for you, you wont ever be mugged or hit by a car or any thing like thatso long as you wear that, you prolonged my life so i have prolonged yours"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked at the medallion for a moment before shaking his head. "no... I don't think I'd quite like to live as long as I could." he said, shifting slightly. "I'm sure there are others who could put this to better use than I would."

Roger placed the medallion back in the dragons palm, smiling slightly. "you should go find those who need it more than I do."

[Thuwed]

"No I insist please, it's the least I can do." *he places the medallion around the foxes neck trying to get up , but weekly falls back onto the ground " Damn I'm too weak, I need to feed. you don't have any blood around here do you?"

[FoxxPaw]

"um... None that I'm particularly comfortable parting with..." Roger said, staring at the medallion. "I really won't be using this you know..." he muttered quietly. "Couldn't you get blood from... I don't know, say a steak or something?"

[Thuwed]

"I could but it wouldn't be enough after this i need like 2 liters, i need to hunt, but I'm too weak perhaps thee is a butcher shop near?" He eyed the fox pleadingly never even considering him prey.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger thought for a moment before standing upright. "I'll see what I can find... Just don't try to get up, much less fly right now." he said, heading back inside. I think I'll bring Buddy with me this time... he thought, letting out a short sigh. I hope he doesn't run off or anything... not sure if he really likes the city that much either.

Roger let looked around the room before padding back towards the couch.

[Thuwed]

He lay there in pain thinking of how to repay the fox for his kindness and where he will stay next, trying not to move much as it hurt really bad to even twitch a muscle.

[Shilo]

Buddy was still sleeping on this couch, not hearing Roger the first time.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger padded over, hefting the wolf off the couch, setting him onto the ground. "Come on you..." he muttered. "When are you going to learn you're not supposed to be there?"

[Shilo]

Buddy wriggled for a moment in Roger's arms before being set down. He sighed, not knowing why he wasn't allowed up there, before following the fox.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked around before padding outside, holding the front door open for the wolf. "ok I don't exactly have anything to keep you with me so dont go running off." he said, watching Buddy. or at the very least come back...

[Shilo]

[Fence is.]

[FoxxPaw]

[Fence is.]

[Font door? We're going out ;)]

[Shilo]

[Oh.]

Buddy dashed out as soon as the door was open, but stopped at the street. He was already getting lost!

[FoxxPaw]

"H-HEY!" Roger yelled, running out after Buddy. "Don't run into the street!" he called coming to a halt beside the wolf.

[Thuwed]

"he lay there fading thinking of what will become of him" Will I live? If i do where will I go? Will My master come find me? Shall I die? What awaits a Vampire in death?

[Shilo]

Buddy just sat next to the street wondering what it was. He yelped and ducked behind Roger as a car went by.

[FoxxPaw]

"Thats why you stay away from the road, Buddy..." Roger said, ruffling his headfur with a paw. Actually... he thought, taking the medallion in a paw. "actually, maybe it'd be a little better if you wore this..." he said, taking the medallion off and hanging it around the wolfs neck instead. Least he'll be safe if anything happens...

[Thuwed]

He was laying in the sun which was not helping a bit it was sapping his already quickly fading strength from him he needed darkness in a bad way, he painfully and slowly crawled over to a shady tree and propped himself against the trunk. This helps a little He thought, but i need blood and darkness, where is that little fox?

[Thuwed]

[disregard this post]

[FoxxPaw]

Roger moved off, opening the car door for buddy, beckoning him to get in. "come on, we should go." and behave please... who the hell needs to pick up 2 liters of blood anyway?

[Shilo]

Buddy jumped in the car and curled up in the front seat. He didn't especially like car rides, they made it hard for him to sit or lay still.

[Shilo]

[Disregard, wrong thread lol]

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shut the door and went around to start the car, all the while trying to think of a logical explination for needing 2 liters of blood and failing miserably.

[FoxxPaw]

After several minutes, Roger pulled up behind a nearby butchery and stepped out of the car. He immediately wished he hadn't. The air was heavy with the metallic smell of blood, even though the place was kept clean. Normally, the smell wouldn't bother him, but it was a little overpowering.

Roger blinked a few times, eventually deciding to let Buddy out. "you, behave..." he said, ruffling the wolf's headfur with a paw. "least you end up needing a collar." he muttered, not exactly enjoying the idea of trying to keep Buddy in check.

"come on..." Roger said, padding in the back.

[Shilo]

Buddy started getting excited as they pulled into the butcher's parking lot. He could smell the meat! He was so hungry! He whined a little, trying to behave, but he wasn't sure how long he could keep it up.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked around a bit, keeping an eye on the wolf. Normally, he'd be tempted, but this was a little bit too much. After a few minutes Roger managed to find someone who wasn't particularly busy. The tiger looked a little surprised when randy mentioned needing the two liters of blood.

"Two?"
"Liters..." Roger added.
"uhm..."
"Don't ask."
"Alright...you'll have to wait for a little while."
"Oh and...can I get something for the wolf as well?" Roger asked, looking at buddy.
"uh, sure. Wait there for a bit, I'll be back in a few..."
"if I dont have to chase buddy around I'll be here." Roger muttered to himself as the

[Shilo]

Buddy was now starting to panic from sitting still. He looked up at Roger and whined and pawed at his side before grabbing a nearby piece of meat and started eating it cold.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced down at the wolf as he pawed at his side, Letting out a quiet groan when the wolf snagged the meat. he growled quietly at the wolf clamping his paws aroud buddy's muzzle as soon as he dropped the meat.

"you're _supposed_ to wait." Roger said, staring into the wolf's eyes.

[Shilo]

Buddy whimpered and curled up around his master's leg, shutting his eyes.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed's scales were turning a deathly grey, he was moments from blacking out and he began to feel himself drifting, his mind was clouded and his vision was blurred so he could only make out fuzzy shapes. blood...need.......

[FoxxPaw]

Roger sighed, straightening up just as the tiger returned.

"Looks like someone got hungry..." the tiger said, picking the meat back up.
"uh...yeah." Roger said, flattening his ears out. "Sorry. Can you add that as well?"
"Sure, I'll bring it out for you?"
"Probably a good idea."
"Alright, Might as well take this out with you." The tiger said, handing over the blood.
"Thanks."

Roger brang the blood outside, placing it in the trunk of the car. After Thanking the tiger and paying him, he began heading back home.

[Shilo]

As soon as they were in the car, Buddy grabbed the meat and started chomping on it, watching Rogar with his tail wagging.

Good meat!

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shook his head at the wolf, glad for the covers. "That's going to be hard to get out you know buddy." He said, glancing at the wolf. "can't you wait till we get home to eat?" give you something to think about other than the dragon in the back.

Roger Eventually pulled up in the driveway, gathering up the blood and letting buddy out before taking the cover off and bringing everything inside.

[Shilo]

When they were home, Buddy jumped up on the couch and went back to eating, forgetting about the dragon in the back.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced at Buddy, opening his muzzle to reprimand him then thinking better of it, deciding to go check on the dragon first.

Roger padded outside carying the blood, casting around for the dragon before finding him behind the tree. He padded over placing the blood at his side, nudging the dragon slightly.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed roused a little bit but now was too weak to even reach for the blood and save himself, he needed the foxes help. He needed the foxes help more than he knew, His Master had found his location and was on his way...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced at the dragon, making sure he was awake before picking up the blood. Thankfully, the tiger had put the blood in a single 2 liter bottle instead of a bucket. The fox reached over and poured out an ammount into a cup, holding it up to the dragons muzzle.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed could smell the blood and started to lick at the cup , coating his tounge with the blood, the taste making him rouse more.

[FoxxPaw]

"please stop lapping at it..." Roger said tilting the cup a bit letting the liquid flow into the dragons muzzle.

[Thuwed]

The blood was helping though some of it was dripping down his neck, after he had had an entire bottle and half of the second one he was able to move and his scales were a pale blue, he looked at the fox with glistening eyes and took the bottle and drank the rest, then he hugged the fox gently. "Thank you so so much, I'm in your debt. Just then a Black Rolls Royce pulled into the driveway and a large musclebound male Lion with a black mane stepped out and knocked at the front door...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly and hugged back, his ears perking up at the knocks. I dont...think I called anyone over...did I? he thought, glancing back towards the house.
"I'll be back in a bit..." Roger said, pulling away from the dragon and heading inside. He glanced out the small window in the door and frowned slightly. I dont know this guy... he thought, opening the door.

"uhm, can I help you, sir?"

[Thuwed]

The dragon watched the fox walk away admiring him for his kindness and he couldn't help notice that he was a little more than cute... Meanwhile at the door The Lion Said "Yes I am Leon and I believe you have some of my property a blue dragon, it calls itself Thuwed I think, Please return it to me."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger flattened his ears slightly, frowning. "I'm not sure I saw anything that marked him as a pet..." Roger said, thinking hard. "come to think of it, he looks like a stray..."

The fox glanced back at the yard. "why dont you come in for a moment?" . . . Roger said, stepping to the side. to allow the Lion passage.

[Thuwed]

Leon walked past the fox with the grace you would expect from feline, he tussled his black mane and looked around "hmm middle class..." he spotted the canine on the couch and smirked and looked back at the fox "Can you show me where the slave is?" Thuwed was standing now, still a little wobbly though and he saw that black car and if not for being a vampire his heart would have been racing.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shruged at the "middle class" comment. Quite honestly, social status meant absolutely nothing to him.

"by slave I assume you mean Thuwed, right?" he asked, flicking the tip of his tail.

[Thuwed]

Leon said "So you do have it! Where is it? I want to take it home and teach it a lesson for running away" Thuwed staggered towards the fence trying to climb over it to escape Leon, he knew he would probably be tourtered to death if he were caught but then thought about Rodger, If I escape Leon might hurt the fox or even abduct him and make him a slave He sighed I suppose this is the end then...Thank you for your kindness fox.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger rolled his eyes slightly. "You're tone says otherwise, if I may point out." he said, watching the lion carefully. "Question, though. You bought the dragon didn't you?" Roger asked. "Why spend all the money on such a rare thing and then just chuck it down the drain? They're kinda hard to come by, AND they're blackmarket." he went on, not waiting for an answer.

[Thuwed]

Leon smirked, "First of all, its of no concern of yours, and second of all it ran away I didn't allow it to leave" Thuwed had tears in his eyes now, he had really thought he could have a life...

[Shilo]

By this point, Buddy had finished the meat and had dropped the bone onto the floor. He growled at that lion from the couch.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger closed the door and padded around the table so he could glance out the window hoping the lion would have his attention on him.

"sorry, don't mind him..." he said as he reached the other side of the table.

"I don't mean to pry, good sir, but if you dont mind telling me about how much a dragon such as Thuwed could cost?" He asked, keeping an eye on the dragon outside. "I dont mean to make a point or anything, but I've still got quite a few years and you seem to be a very successful individual if I may say so myself."

[Thuwed]

Leon liked any kind of ego stroking so he told Roger " It was $700,000.00 even and as for my success that's a secret, all ill say is I am a a "businessfur" Now I am really in a hurry where is my slave?"

[Shilo]

Buddy was starting to snarl at Leon at this point. He didn't like him.

[FoxxPaw]

"Down Buddy." Roger said, glancing at the wolf.

Roger sighed, padding past the lion, his ears swiveling slightly to keep track of the lions movements. The glanced outside staring Thuwed in the eyes for a moment before glancing past the fence and back. Hopefully the dragon understood that he had wanted him to leave.

"Right this way, sir. Though I'd suggest letting him rest for a week or two so he'd at least be of some use when you do bring him back." Roger said, hoping he could at least hold onto the dragon for a day or two more.

[Shilo]

The wolf sighed and just layed there on the couch, not making another sound or moving.

[Thuwed]

Leon walked past Roger towards Thuwed and kicked him hard in the ribs dropping him to his knees, "You stupid slave I'm going to cut off your wings for this!" Leon looked at the fox, "He will be of use to me, as an example to all my other slaves they will see what happens when they run" He took Thuwed by the arm and recoiled, Thuwed had used some of what little enegery he had to shock the lion, only infuriating him... Thuwed said " I'm not going back LEON!"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced at the dragon. "You'd throw away $600k for an example?" he asked padding up to the dragon, looking him over. "Mind if took a look at him?" He asked, glancing back at the lion.

[FoxxPaw]

[Ignore this post...]

[Thuwed]

Leon slashed Thuwed in the face for the shock "It was 7K and this slave has caused me more than that in grief! Go ahead look at it but hurry up!" Thuwed had more blood streaming down his face now but not enough to matter, he looked up at Leon defiantly not showing any pain " If i had enough strength i would kill you now!"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger rolled his eyes. "dont bother thuwed. you'd just cause more trouble." He said, taking a cloth from his pocket and placing it against the scratches, absorbing the blood. "you kinda made it a little harder to tell what this guy is worth you know." the fox muttered. He moved aroud to the far side of the dragon "Examining" him. tilted his head slightly, mutering quietly to himself. "Guess he's got a decent build." he was saying, eventually glancing up at the lion.

Roger stared at the lion for a moment. "You're a slave dealer aren't you?" he asked, sounding disappointed.

[Thuwed]

Leon smirked, "And what if I am?" Thuwed buried his face in the foxes chest, he really liked this fox...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked at thuwed for a moment patting his head lightly. "Well, if you are, don't you think you should take better care of your slaves so they'll actually be worth something instead of...well, as rare as he is, I'd say if you had taken good care of him, you could've made an easy million. As of now...I wouldn't think he's worth even half that. It'd be better to pay 1M for a well kept dragon than 500k for a poorly kept dragon." He said, shrugging a bit, moving aroud to stand in front of the lion. "Just saying, if you want to be good at a trade, you'd better know the values or you're products are botch."

[Thuwed]

"Its my personal slave, It's not for sale, my other stock is kept in better condition" Leon looked at the fox, Hmm care to look at my stock? I have a gazelle that you would like only 10,000.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shook his head. "From you, I dont think I'm very interested in your wares. just the fact that your dragon is in such poor condition is a real big turn off." He said, keeping mis face expressionless. "You may go."

[Thuwed]

"FINE whatever you don't look like you even have ten K" Leon grabbed Thuwed and drug him towards your house to go to his car, Thuwed faught all the way but was no match for the powerful lion, he looked at the fox pleadingly...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger frowned, padding over to the fence, grabbing the top and swinging himself over. If there was one thing he couldn't stand it was violence. As if he hadn't had enough of that in his life already, this lion has to come along and drag this poor dragon off. How this guy wasn't caught for this style of trade was way beyond him.

The fox padded in through the front door and crossed his arms, watching the lion through the window as he made his way back inside.

[Thuwed]

As the Lion dragged Thuwed through the lawn and house he sadistically told him the things he was going to do to him and he stopped when he saw the fox, and he chuckled "what?"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger grined at Leon, walking up so they were only a few feet away from eachother. He waved his tail in Thuwed's direction, indicating that he should leave once he was dropped.

"You've really got some nerve dragging him through the house." He said, staring at what seemed to be a point in space, letting his arms hang at his sides. "Here I had thought I was dealing with somefur instead or something. You can forget about bringing the dragon back with you."

[Thuwed]

Leon pulled out a .44 raptor and pointed it at Rodger, "you intend to stop me? I"ve fried bigger fish than you! Thuwed spoke telepathically to roger make it dark in here throw a blanket over me or something, I need to be shielded from all sunlight for a few minutes... Leon smirked "move aside before you get hurt!"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger grined. "A gun... of all the weapons you could've pulled, you just Had to pull a gun. Oh, and before I forget, the table cloth makes a nice blackout curtain." he said.

Roger stepped in, crossing his feet over as he took hold of the lions wrist with one paw, striking the auxilery under the lions arm with his other paw, making it go numb. Crouching slightly, Roger brang his left foot in, kicking the lions left paw from under while, pulling the lion bodily over his shoulder, bringing his other paw up to grip the barrel of the weapon, holding fast.

Roger twisted slightly, dropping the lion flat on his back, taking the gun and stepping away.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed grabbed the tablecloth and wrapped it around himself {hold him for a few minutes if you can} The lion was furious and started to get up...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shook his head, tossing the gun behind him. The fox waited until the Lion was standing upright watching his movements. "the door's behind you."

[Thuwed]

The Lion swung hard enough to kill the fox, but in that very instant the tablecloth disintegrated and Thuwed appeared in front of Leon and absorbed the blow like nothing happened, Thuwed looked different, his scales were now they're normal deep dark blue and they were now sharper and more pointed, his fangs were longer and sharper as were his horns, claws, and spikes. His Eyes were glowing red with hate and determination, Leon had never seen this before...Thuwed said some words in a language strange to anyone but him and Leon gew stiff as Thuwed sank his fangs into his neck and fed on his blood untill the lion was whiter than snow, Thuwed said a few more words and the lions body fell in a pile of ash...Thuwed Roared and faced rodger with blood on his maw...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger tilted his head slightly at the dragon, his ears flat. "Really now, you needn't roar."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed fell on the floor in the fetal position shuddering his claws clenched and his eyes clamped shut he writhed in pain untill he had reverted back to normal...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger blinked, kneeling down by the Dragon. "Hey, you ok?" he asked, placing a paw on the dragon's shoulder.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed coughed "sorry you had to see that, it happens when someone is in danger that i lo..." He cut himself off looking at the fox..."thank you"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger blinked, shaking his head slightly. "Dont worry about it." he said, helping thuwed to his feet, trying to ignore what the dragon said. "Well...uh, what're we going to do with all the other furs?"

[Thuwed]

"I must rescue them that's all there is to it" His eyes brighten "and your rich now, Leon is dead and there is 1.5 billion dollars in his safe at his mansion, and we can go live there! Its up for the taking! oh please! please come with me!"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked around at the house before shaking his head. "I belong here." he said, staring at the ground. "You can have whatever he has left behind. I dont want any of it."

[Thuwed]

"I'm all alone Roger, please?" the dragon want to have someone to talk too so much...

[FoxxPaw]

Randy stared at the floor for a long time before letting out a quiet sigh. "Thuwed, listen, please. That place, the mansion, as you called it,. What does that remind you of when you go in? What kinds of memories do you have when you enter the same place where you were held captive?" Roger sat on the floor and leaned against the wall. "Those furs are free now, yes, but where will they go? they dont have a palce to stay and I can't take care of all of them."

[Thuwed]

"I understand, let them have the mansion then, I know Ive asked a lot of you , but can i ask one more thing? let me stay with you? I promise ill make it worth your while" He was hoping to stay with the fox, he had never been treated so well in his life...

[FoxxPaw]

Roger smiled slightly at the dragon. "If it makes you happy, then by all means, feel free to stay." he said. "I hope Buddy will warm up to you..."

"Anyway, I've gotta clean up." Randy said, standing up. "you dont happen to be able to drive, do you?" he asked, glancing at the wings on the dragons back.

[Shilo]

Buddy was hiding under the Roger's bed. He had ran when he heard the roar and it scared him half to death.

[Thuwed]

"Really? I can? Oh thank you so much!" Thuwed hugged Rodger tightly, tightly enough to cut off the air but not enough to hurt. "I can drive but come outside I have something to show you, he smiled.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger pet the dragon lightly on he back, pulling away a bit. "You mind? I can't breathe."

[Thuwed]

"Err sorry... will you come outside with me ?" Thuwed walked into the back yard.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly, following behind the dragon, rubbing his chest a bit.

[Shilo]

Buddy had fallen asleep under the bed.

(I've been asleep for most of the day >.< )

[FoxxPaw]

[haha ^-^; Sleepy wolf :)]

[Thuwed]

A black mist surrounds me and I enter my feral form {I can drive but i much prefer this...climb on and hold onto one of my spikes} Thuwed looked at Rodger with a very large eye waiting for him to climb onto his back, he had never allowed anyone to do this before, but this fox... was... special to him

[FoxxPaw]

Roger swallowed. "W-well...I had actually thought we should bring the lions car back so they'd have some sort of transport..."

[Thuwed]

{Ok I'll carry it toojust climb on, please?}

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shifted, glancing back towards the house before climbing onto the dragons back. "A-alright..." Why am I so damn Nervous? It's not like he's going to drop me or anything...

[Thuwed]

{you need to hold on tight when i take off} Thuwed walked over the fence and picked up the car wit h his foreclaws and crouched and unfureled his wings ready to take off {hold on}

[FoxxPaw]

Roger swallowed, wrapping his paws around a spike, placing his footpaws farther apart to keep his balance. "ok...I think."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed launched himself upward, beating his wings hard until they were well above the clouds where he glided {look Rodger it's pretty from up here}

[FoxxPaw]

Roger had his eyes shut tight, opening them slightly to look down moving a paw to cup over his nose. The air was cold, not to mention thin as well. Other than that though, it really was quite beautiful. Roger slowly began to grow used to the cold, loosening his grip on the dragon, moving up to sit between the spikes, smiling slightly.

"It's wonderful..." he breathed, looking around.

[Shilo]

Buddy woke up and starting looking for Roger. He couldn't find him anywhere! The wolf started getting worried and laid down on the couch, nervously watching the door.

[Thuwed]

From the sky the Lions property could be seen... thuwed started to descend, he set down the car and extended a wing to the grass* {slide down Rodger}

[Shilo]

Buddy was starting to get bored at home. It seemed like ages since Roger had left. After a while, the wolf started doing random things. He tipped over the trash can and ate the half eaten burger, found the box of milkbones and ate most of that after chewing away a side of it, sniffed around and accidentally knocked over a vase and broke it, and chewed on the blinds before finally curling up in Roger's bed under the covers and going to sleep again.

[going to bed, generic post is generic for that reason]

[FoxxPaw]

[lols, had fun messing around I suppose. Night Shilo ^-^ Sleep well.]
Roger glanced at the dragon, smiling slightly, sliding down his wing, landing lightly in the grass. He glanced around before looking up at the large building.
"Where the hell did he keep you in this form?"

[Thuwed]

Thuwed changed back to anthro and put his clothes back on, " I couldn't change, Leon kept me in a solid steel collar and I couldn't use magic to break it, he constantly kept me too weak, if I tried to change, it would decapitate me, now we need to get those other furs out of his underground facility, and watch out, Leon was a sick Lion, there are boobytraps everywhere except for the stone paths we need to get into the mansion.

[FoxxPaw]

"oh great, more traps." Roger muttered. "As if I didn't have enough to worry about. Is the lawn safe?" he asked, staring at the ground.

[Thuwed]

"Well...parts of it are, just the front lawn, everywhere else is littered with traps, spike pits, mines ect," but as long as we stay on the path we should be ok"

[FoxxPaw]

Rogher sighed. "We've got a lot to remove or set off before they can actually come out and not worry about the traps."

[Thuwed]

"That we do , lucky for us we have my magic, but i need to know where they are first and I have no idea.. and don't move..." Thuwed had looked down and Rodgers paw was on a tripwire microfiliament, if he moved he would be blown up, he needed to see the explosive and figure out what it was made of.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced down. He almost stepped away intinctively, falling to all fours bur barely manging to keep his paw on the tripwire. If he had stepped away, not only would he have been blown up, but it was quite possible that the dragon could get caught in the explosion as well.

Roger slammed a fist into the ground, growling quietly. What kind of fur put mines in their yard?

[Thuwed]

"Leon...would..." Thuwed saw the explosive and immediately recognized it C-4..., not hard to take care of...IF he could draw an alchemy circle, hi pulled out all the grass around the bomb and drew an elaborate circle around it with one of his claws, he spoke some words and the circle glowed sky blue and the bomb turned into a lump of earth "There we go Rodger, no danger"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger swallowed glancing at the dragon. "You mind moving away...in case..."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed picked up the earth that used to be the bomb and crumbled it in his claw"satisfied?"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shifted, slightly, looking under his other paws before standing upright, watching the groud for any other traps, carefully making his way towards the walkway.

[Thuwed]

"Where is the medallion I gave you Rodger? It would guarantee you wont walk into any traps"

[Shilo]

[ /yawn at not being in the story atm @_@. Let's me sleep anyhow. ]

[FoxxPaw]

[ehheh...my bad?]
"o-oh..." Roger said, glancing away. "uhm, buddy has it on" He muttered, shifting slightly.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed stared off into space "You know its daylight and everything costs me double... do you have a peace of his fur on you perhaps? I can get the medallion if its touching his fur as well"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger looked at his clothing, frowning slightly. "I think whatever I did have on me was blown off on the way here..." he said, turning aroud to glance at the back of his pants. "Either way, I'd rather him have it since he's home alone... I'm with you so I think I'm pretty safe."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed smiled nervously " O...o..ok " Thuwed said some words and located three more traps before the path "a spike pit a mine and punji trap follow me"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger followed the dragon quietly, trying to think of a way to dispose of the traps. the mine could be set off, no problem, though that'd leave a bit of a hole in the lawn but that could be filled easily. the other two would have to be located and extracted.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed stopped "stay here" He walked another 30 feet and unleashed his flame breath onto the ground schorching it until a large explosion occurred {mine dispached its safe to proceed}

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly. "Thuwed, you seem to know where all these traps are...can you...maybe put a flag or something, a post on them maybe so I can extract them later?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.

[Thuwed]

"A flag? no, making something appear out of thin air...creating matter is astronomical a spell like that would kill me" Thuwed thought for a minute before looking at Roger" but... I can make a paper flag" Thuwed flew over to a tree and drew an elaborate circle 10 feet in diameter around it and placed his claws on the ground and a pale blur light surrounded the tree as it changed into a gigagantic sheet of rough brown paper and a few rough stakes , he flew back to rodger with the new supplies"if i keep this up im going to need to feed...Rodger" he winked

[FoxxPaw]

Roger blanched. "uhm, I didn't quite mean you had to make a flag...Just stick something where the trap is so I can get rid of it some time later." he said, shifting uneasily. "well, that or I could just scan for traps but that takes forever."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed grinned dumbly "ummmmm It just occured to me we could just mark a path for the furs to walk on ..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger thought for a moment. "Well...I dont know about you guys, but I like to be able to run around a bit and play with Buddy. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind getting to run outside now that they can do so."

[Thuwed]

"I would love to get to know buddy too, we need to make a path and release them"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced around. "well, Lets mark the traps as we go along and take care of them later. we can probably have the furs spend a few nights at a hotel or something seeing that this guy apparently has enough money for something this elaborite." He said. "At least then we have some time to clear up the traps and such. And lets not have any of them staying behind, I dont need anyone setting off a trap and getting hurt or killed..."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed walked along doing his best to detect all the traps he could, he tore off some paper and made rough flags to mark them and soon there was an s shaped path halfway up to the mansion. He continued until the path was up to the front gates. "Ok these gates are made of rodiron, if you rty to pick the lock the pick will cause a circut to complete, and concealed guns will pumps us full of hollowpoints, the question is how do we open the gate without completeing the circut... Leaon you cruel bastard..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger grinned. "So, all we need to do is make sure that the circuit is completed." Roger bent over to look into the keyhole, shining a small pocket light into the hole. unable to find anything odd, he took out a small pocket knife and scraped a fine dust from the wall, gathering it up and blowing a small ammount into the lock.

He straightened up. "well, 'complete' certainly is the right word for it." he muttered. "dont put anything metal in there or you'll set it off. no 'laser sensors' that'd trip off so we just have to make a duplicate key...or...you could just cut the bars."

[Thuwed]

"cut the bars...with magic..." *Thuwed took water from the earth below him and accelerated a it into a thin loop past the speed of sound and used it to slowly slice the hinges off, "there were in, all thats left in the watof traps now is the ones inside the entrance to the complex."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly. "alright, Lets go then..." He said, padding through the gates, keeping an eye out for any others traps.

[Thuwed]

"The back door is better for this," The pair walked up to the plain looking back door, "Well this looks too innocent," the door handle looked plain enough so he started to open it slowly, when the door cleared the frame three spring loaded barbed spikes shot into Thuweds arm, he roared in pain and pulled his arm out painfully, "Goddamn you Leon you bastard..." It wasn't bleeding very badly, and infection was not an issue to a vampire, but all this sun was taking its toll on him , he needed to rest, "Down the hallway and though the blast door there are the holding cells, no more traps after that but I've never been in this hallway i have no idea what is in here and its long, too about 130 feet I'd say"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger yelped wincing slightly. "H-here..." he said, removing his shirt and tearing a few strips off at the hem, using them to bandage the wound. "And...uhm...I'll open the doors kay?" He muttered, pressing his paw over the wounds, the blood slowing quickly. After the blood stopped flowing, he padded in carefully, constantly looking towards the walls, floor, and ceiling for any other traps.

[Thuwed]

"Um don't get any of my blood in your mouth..." we walked down the hall all the way with no traps at all and were soon at the last door and then a large metal panel that left no space around it covered the exit, and started moving towards Rodger and Thuwed, it started out slow and began to accelerate, they had 2 minutes to get the blast door open..."ummm R...roger....."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger ignored the plate. "I hear it thuwed..." he muttered. "ignore it for now." he said, glancing at the glass covering over the keypad. Roger gave it an experimental tug before simply shattering it and punching in a bunch of 0's. "10 numbers..." he said, thinking as he cleared the pad. "Whats the phone number including the area code?"

[Thuwed]

"its 2172571133"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger punched in the number, and frowned. "not it..." he said, glancing at the door. Not enough time... he thought, placing a paw on the top of the keypad, pressing down until it snapped off, reveiling a mess of wires behind it. Roger groaned slightly, flipping open a pocket knife and sorting through the wires, glancing at the connectors. He glanced over his shoulder again, and swallowed. He let out a quiet whine, setting at the wires again. If only he could figure out which ones did what, he could just cut the wires and reverse the circuitry to unlock the blast door.

[Thuwed]

The panel was one fourth of the way down the hallway they had 1 minute and 30 seconds, Thuwed groaned but decided it had to be done, he said some words in the unknown language and etched an alchemy circle into the door "this is going to hurt" he put his claws on the door and the circle glowed green* his head throbbed hard and he got an incredible mirane he muttered 2BD4S19M13 before falling in front of the door writhing with the pain that doing that calculation caused, "thats the code Rodger"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger Glanced at Thuwed before Shaking his head, flipping the keypad back over and punching in the code. He watched the door for a few seconds before hearing the lock disengage, watching the door swing open. He shoved the door open and pulled thuwed upright, glancing behind himself again. Roger swallowed. The metal plate hadn't stopped... He pushed thuwed through and off to the side a bit before running back around the door and pushing it closed. As soon as it was closed, it automatically locked and the metal slammed against the back of the door. Roger glanced around the room before deciding it was safe for now. Kneeling down at the dragons side, he placed a paw in the center of Thuwed's chest. "What did you do?" he asked, his paw warming slightly as he pressed it against the dragons chest.

[Thuwed]

"I ran all possible combinations through my brain in a minute... " Thuwed groaned the migraine still ravaging his head, "If I am to go any further I'll need need to rest and more blood , that one took a lot out of me, there are a few furs here that are willing doners, go find one for me please Roger"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger frowned, moving his paw over to the dragons forehead. "I'll go see if I can find one in a minute, in the meantime, you'd better get out of the open." He said, as the pain receded slightly. After a couple minutes, Roger stood up, slinging his shirt over a shoulder. "How much blood do you need?" he asked, brushing his fur off.

[Thuwed]

"About two pints, maybe a little more" Thuwed grimaced and sat up, If she has not been sold Kasandra, a lioness/cheetah mix has always been willing to donate. She Should be in cell sixty four..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly. "alright, I'll go see if she's there..." He said, padding off down the cell block, watching the cell numbers. As Roger approached cell 64, he glanced in. Sitting inside, with her back turned was a female lioness, the marking of a cheetah covering her fur. Roger knelt down and tapped the bars lightly. "Kasandra? you...are Kasandra right?"

[Thuwed]

Kasandra looked through the bars at the fox, she thought "He doesn't look like a slave wrangler...""Yes I'm Kasandra, why do you ask?"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger stood up, and began to pick the lock to the cell. "Thuwed's back and he needs some help...assuming that you know him seeing that he said to look for you..." He said, as the lock sprung open.

[Thuwed]

Kasandra looked at the fox in disbelief "I thought he was dead! Take me to him!" Thuwed could hear her talking and smiled "I told you I would come back for you"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly and set off down the isle again. "oh believe me, he should've been dead..." he muttered. "The guy's pretty sturdy."

[Thuwed]

Kasandra followed Roger asking him questions all the way, like "where is he?, is he ok?, what happened?, " C'mon hurry up fox!"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced at her waiting for the questions to slow a bit before answering. "He's lying at the end of the hall and yes, he's fine. You can ask him what happened yourself if you want to."

[Thuwed]

Kasandra took off in a sprint towards the dragon leaving the fox to stare at her bum under her flapping loincloth. When she reached Thuwed she hugged him very tightly, they said in unison "I missed you" Thuwed looked at Kasandra and said "I'm sorry to ask this of you after we were just reunited after so long but i need...blood" She smiled and bared her neck to the dragon, he sunk his fangs in and drank only enough to regain his senses about a pint and a half, "Thank you Kasandra" Thuwed stood up "Now we can free everyone! these simple locks take almost no enegery to open at all! He raised his arms and shouted a few words and all at once every door in the holding area unlocked.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger sighed, eventually catching up with Thuwed and Kasandra. "I guess you two have known eachother for a while..." he said, before glancing back towards the other open cells. "does anyone here know that Leon is dead? and...why aren't there any alarms going off?"

[Thuwed]

Thuwed smiled with bloody fangs, "we know each other very well, Kasandra is my sweetheart... As for the alarms I have no idea, and I just killed him hours ago, I don't see how anyone would know"

[bookmark]

[can i join?...i havent read everything leading up to this, but i can if you want]
[iv read it now]

[Thuwed]

[Its fine with me if you want to jump in but Shilo and Roger will have to approve it as well, maybe you could be a freed slave? Oh and It would be a good idea to read all the previous posts]

[Shilo]

[Go ahead.../snoozes in the house]

[FoxxPaw]

[Fine with me mark. Just make sure you kinda have an idea of what's happening as of now.]

Roger padded over to Kasandra and pressed his paws over the wound. "Maybe you should go and gather whatever excess blood you have after hunting and keep that for things like this..." Roger said, wiping the blood off on the shirt before using it to soak the rest of the blood off the lioness' fur, checking to make sure the blood stopped before turning to head down the cell block again.

Roger padded up to a random slave and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. "do you know if there are any guards here that I can talk to?" He asked.

[Thuwed]

"Actually I usually have a stash..." Thuwed rubbed Kasandras neck, "Thank you"

[bookmark]

[heh yeah i read it thx for leting me join ^-^]

as the fox taped him he jumped then faced him, shaking a bit not sure of whats going on. "well theres usually one who walks by every so often, and its been a while sice one came by"
the elk looked around then took a few steps befor turning to the fox again "so whet exactly is happening?"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger stepped back and looked down the isile. "Well...put simply, you're free...ish...Dont leave here yet though." he said. Wonder if theres any rankings for guards?

Roger glanced back at thuwed before padding down the isle towards the other end. Hopefully the guards are busy elsewhere...

[bookmark]

"free?" his eyes light up for a moment then die down again as he hears the rest "but i cant leave...yet? that dosent sound to free." he turns to thuwed who he recognises, and steps closer to him "what exactly is happening?"

[Shilo]

*snores on the bed*

(yawn...)

[Thuwed]

"You and all the other would be slaves are free, Leon is dead, Kasandra and I are back together, and we all need to get out of here, stay on the path and you'll be safe from traps" Thuwed looked at Roger " we have to go through the front door, we're not going back the way we came"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced back. "Yeah, but first, lets see if we can get a layout of the traps. no doubt the guards know exactly where all the traps are placed." he said, looking around for the exit.

[Thuwed]

"Leon would have had it all on his PC in his office... on the top level..." Thuwed looked at Roger, I hope you can hack..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger shrugged. "not like I'm particularly great but I don't know about him either." he said, finally finding the exit. "He seems like the guy who would hire someone else to secure his computer."

Roger glanced at the door and began tapping at the edges, listening closely. don't seem to be any traps... he thought, pressing his cheek to the door to get a better look at the frame without opening it.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed walked up to the door and kicked it down, "Nope, no traps...lets go" Thuwed and Kasandra walked through the door and up the stairs.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger stood there for a few seconds, a bit stunned before running up after them.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed and Kasandra walked up the stairs up to a locked oak door which Thuwed easily unlocked with magic "Simple key locks are easy....goddamn..."The four furs were met with another long hallway with another blast door at the end of it, "please let the code be the same as before!"

[FoxxPaw]

Roger caught up shortly after, glancing around the door frame. "nothing really special to see apart from the other door..." he muttered. "is this a direct route to his office?" he asked Thuwed, looking at the ceiling for any signs of another plate.

[Thuwed]

"No, past this door is a sliding wall that hides the door from the other side on the other side of that wall there is an elevator, which will takes up to his office"

[FoxxPaw]

"Maybe it'd be a good idea to take the most direct route to his office..." Roger said, backing up slightly. No doubt he would keep the traps to a minimum since he would probably take that route to get there. Even if he does know the codes and such, there would probably be less, though if this is the only way out of the holding cells, the security is probably really tight here."

Roger glanced back towards the cells, seeing a few of the furs staring back, a few others wondering around the area a bit.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed entered the same code as before, the screen read>

[ ********** ]

[ PENDING AUTHORIZATION....... ]

[ APPROVAL ]

[ UNLOCKING....... ]

[ UNLOCKED YOU MAY PROCEED ]

"Well... that was fortunate..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced back half expecting to see another metal plate drop. "I guess there's a timer." he said, turning back and padding through cautiously.

[Thuwed]

Thuwed slid the false wall back revealing a a small room about 7' x 7' x 9' with an elevator on one wall and a guard...

[Shilo]

[Zzzzzzzzzzz....]

[FoxxPaw]

Roger froze, raising a paw. "Uhm, you dont happen to know if Leon is in, do you?"

[Thuwed]

Guard: "Leon is out on errands, Who are you? and how did you get in here?" he reached for his tazer to be safe. Thuwed said "Excuse me sir... Thus kind fox chose Kasandra and I to be his slaves and wishes to buy us..., Leon gave him the code because..he knows him very well..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger tilted his head, gesturing towards the tazer. "Is that really necessary? Leon had asked me to meet him in his office. Would it be alright for you to let us up so we could wait for his return?"

[Thuwed]

Guard: I'll need to see your ID and your Black Lion Corp. Card

[FoxxPaw]

Roger frowned. "Since when was I supposed to have the card with me?" he asked, pulling out his wallet and presenting his ID. "I really dont think Leon would appreciate it if you were to cause trouble."

Roger glanced at Thuwed and Kasandra. "Is this guy new here or is he just new at this post cause I'm beginning to think the previous guard knew better."

[Thuwed]

Guard: "I've been at this post for seven years and I don't remember you... If you cant Produce a B.L.C. card then I will have to detain you until Leon returns." The guard gestured at a button the wall easily within reach, "Don't think you can overpower me either, I push this button and we all take a 30 hour nap and the alarm goes off, and elite guards will burst in here and take you to the holding cells." Thuwed pleaded with the guard like a well trained slave would "Sir...Master Leon said we could go up the elevetor...and he said that could just tell you and you would let us..."

[FoxxPaw]

Roger glanced at thuwed. "Well you know, we could always go back around the front and wait for him at the door and simply tell him the guard he wouldn't let us up." Roger said. "Weird thing is, I could've sworn i saw his car in the front."

[Thuwed]

Thuwed had been scratching an alchemy circle in the wall behind him he leaned back and phased through the wall and the circle appeared on the other wall behind the guard where he took the tazer and smashed it in his claws, he then tore the button out of the wall, disabling it, Kasandra jumped the guad and took away his baton and clubbed him over the head knocking him unconscious, she took he keycard and opened the elevator and got in. Kasandra winked at Thuwed as he stepped in as well, she threw the keycard back on the floor so the gaurd wouldnt die in the small room from starvation.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger frowned slightly. "Okay, anyone know the way up now? I dont suppose we need a passcode to get this lift working..."

[Thuwed]

Kasandra said "No passcodes here, standard elevator if a bit tacky...Just five floor selections, I suggest executive floor" she pressed the button and the door closed and they started to rise.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger, glanced at Kasandara before leaning back against the wall. "you seem to know your way around well enough." he said.

[Thuwed]

Kasandra said "well when your used for a brutis lions pleasure you tend to look around for escape routes..." The elevator stoped at the top floor and the door opened.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger nodded slightly, stepping out and glancing around. "...looks like an appartment." he muttered.

[Thuwed]

The group walked to the end of the hall up to Leon's office door, Thuwed knew the code from watching Leon enter it before and easily opened the door, Inside there was a Lavish office suite and Leon's Personal Computer.

[FoxxPaw]

Roger smiled slightly. "Well, I'm going to guess we've got access to all security and information, sales, finances, etc..."

[Thuwed]

"Yes, and here is where my usefulness runs out... I cant hack..."

[Shilo]

[bump...]

[FoxxPaw]

[Wow...geez, that's surprising...it's been over a month now...uhm, anyway bumpage.] Roger glanced at the console before padding towards the computer. "Know anyone who does? If I try to hack in, I could end up locking the computer entirely." He asked, glancing back towards Thuwed.
