"This one! He'll do!" 
My heart stopped as i looked up and saw 3 guards standing staring at me. I nervously looked around my small metal cage. I calk home, and my stomach sunk. I was the only one in this cell.
"Test subject 3! You have been selected for treatment!" I heard the lead guard shout at me. I was roughly grabbed and dragged by my legs to a room all of us dread, the testing room. Sadly, this is a tradition for us. If we want to survive, we have to go through treatment.

Inside the room was horrible. At least to an outsider, it would be. I've gotten used to it, having spent my whole life in the lab. I look around and see barels of water, chains, handcuffs, tools, equipment, you name it they probably have it.

I grunt as I'm thrown onto a cold metal table, the same table I've been thrown onto for as long as I can remember. This is where the testing happens. I yip and squirm as I feel the guards hold me down. All is quiet before I feel all four of my legs pulled taunt and tied to each corner of the table.
I look around anxious to see what they have planned today, but I see... no one. In my panick, I didn't notice everyone had left, and it's just me in the room, tied to a table, all on my own.

 "TESTING BEGIN!" the loud speaker says. I squeeze my eyes shut and brace for whatever they will give me. A minute passes. Nothing. I relax and open my eyes, and look around.
All of a sudden, a buzz is heard, and ice water crashes down onto me like a waterfall. I squeeze my eyes shut as chunks of hard ice pelt me, some chunks being the size of golfballs. There being so much water I can hardly breathe.
After a full minute, the buzz is heard again, and the water stops just as suddenly as it starts. By now, I am breathing hard and shivering from the cold. My fur is getting stiff and icy from the cold. 
As I recover from the freezing, I begine to feel a warm sensation on my back. The warm sensation begins to get warmer and warmer until the metal table gets to an uncomfortable heat. All the water on the table starts to evaporate as I squirm uncomfortably around, unable to move. As the table gets hotter and hotter, I cry out as my back starts to burn. The smell of burning flesh fills my nose. Shortly after, another buzz is heard, and another waterfall of water crashes down on me. I scream as the boiling water covers me. By now, my whole body feels like it's on fire, and I start to drift in and out of conciseness from the sheer pain.
Once the torment ends, I'm woken up from being unconscious by a hard punch to the stomach, the force being so great it winds me.
"Test subject 3! You have received treatment! You may go!" the guard says. I am too weak and tired to reply.
"ANSWER ME YOU MUTT!"
"Yes sir," I wisper with all my strength. "T-Thank you for treating me,"
"Your welcome 3" the guard replies as he places me on the floor, hits me across the stomach with a heavy metal pole causing me to curl up in pain and kicks me hard again in the side. "Now get back to your cell!"
"Yes, sir," I reply and slowly make my way back to the cell.

As I'm making my way back to the cell, I smell something. Something... good! Something i haven't smelt in a loooooooong time! COOKED FOOD!
I know I must behave myself, but I can't resist! I follow my nose to the guard depo where I see a freshly cooked stake! I'm just sitting there getting cold!
The lab law requires all dogs not to steal food from the guards, but I can't help myself! I quickly check that no one is looking, get on my hind legs, sink my teeth into the beautifully cooked steak, and rip it off the plate. 
As quick as I can, I make my way back to cell 3, my home. My lungs burning and my body aching from the treatment I got.

As I get to reach my cell, I hear a soft voice from the next cell along.
"3? Did you get food?"
"Yes 4" I reply weakly and pass the steak to her. "I got you some stake from the guard depo,

I can't help but give a weak smile as I watch 4 scoff the stake down. My stomach cramps seeing her eat but I know she needs the food more then me. I promised my parents I'd look after her and look after her I will.
"Brother when will we be free?"
"Very soon 4, very so-

"THERE HE IS! THAT LITTLE THEIF!" I jump as my cage door is opened and I'm yanked out of it by my ears
"NO! 3 NO!" 4 cries out to me as I'm dragged away
"DONT WORRY 4! ILL BE OK! I PROMISE YOU! ILL BE O-" I fail to finish my sentence as I'm punched across the face by the guard. All the other dogs all bark and make a massive noise as I'm dragged away by my ears. I look back at my cell to see 4 staring at me, eyes wide and scared.

When I arrive I'm slammed down into the metal table I was recently on. I fight and fight, but the guards use all their strength to keep me down.
"Hold him still! This should teach him not to steal food!"
My eyes are coverd by a black cloth and hands press my head down onto the table. Silence. I brace waiting.
Before I know it im yelping and screaming as I feel the most agonising feeling coming from my left ear. The smell of blood fills my nose as my ear feels like it's on fire. A few moments later I hear a small 'pap' sound as something fleshy hits the floor. The pain in my ear is still there but before I can relax the smell and sound of burning flesh is heard and an even stronger pain is felt from my ear as i screach in pain, my screaches heard even from outside the room.

"All done. That should serve as a reminder!"
They remove the cloth covering my eyes. I look around and see lots of blood, bloody scissors, and some red hot metal.
"Look!" the guard says as he grabs my muzzle and forces me to face one direction. My heart stops. There... staring right at me... is my sister... test subject 4... strapped to a chair with her muzzle tied up. She has tears running down her face as she squirms and tries to get loose, only to be punches across the muzzle by the guard holding her. 

A buzz is heard from above me and before I even look up I am coverd head to tail in a red liquid. The smell of blood and iron fills the room and my nose. I see 4 cry out, tears streaming down her face. They smack me around the head again and I the last thing I see is 4 getting thrown to the floor and kicked.

A short while later, we are both thrown back into our cells, 4 passes a paw through her bars of her sell to my cell. I take it and give it a comforting squeeze. "It's ok 4. I'm ok. Im so sorry this happened to you! This wasn't your fault. As long as you are safe, I will do whatever I need to do to keep you safe, like i promised 1 and 2, our parents."
"I love you 3" 4 calls out through tears. "I want to go home!"
"I love you too 4, I know it's hard, but one day, we will be free. I know we will" I reply back as she drifts to sleep. I gently stroke her as she slowly drifs to sleep, my fur still damp from the soaking earlier.

I slowly lift a paw to my head to feel what they did. I go to feel where my ear would be but only feel air. They must have cut my ear! I wince as I feel the irregular cut they did. I feel the crispy burnt skin whete they must have sealed the wond shut. At least it won't get infected. I curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep, thinking of what freedom may be like, what a full stomach would be like, what life would be like! When will our suffering end!

Rompy Out!
