My eyes open slowly as I regain my senses. The room was dark and dim, almost like an old prison cell, just without a cell door. Not like it would be the first time I have been locked in a room, prison or not. Yawning and getting up slowly, I take notice that I was in my feral forme still and groaned. The last thing I remember was head getting hit as I was wandering through the woods I was sent into by Stacy.

I swear that everytime I get involved with her or someone related to the witch cat, thing go wrong. We only agreed to work alongside her because of a certain group being active again that has decided to target her domain. An enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine. Or.... something like that.

Raising my left front paw to scratch away at my ear, I felt my forelimb graze against metal. To where I quickly felt around my neck before sighing. "Great, I'm in another collar. Kill me now if it is a magic dampening one." Getting up on all four of my feet, I shake my body before walking around my room a bit.

Stopping at the door and looking at it, I try to focus my magic to transform back to my normal self, only to flail about a bit as the collar zapped me. "God damn it! Why..." my body refused to let me move for a few minutes as the collar buzzed me hard. Whoever put this collar on me clearly doesn't want me using magic and knows what I am.

When the shock wore off, my body knelt forward and I leaned against the door. "Great, now what do I do? I don't even know where I am and I am stuck." My ears twitch as I heard some movement on the other side of the door as footsteps echoed outside the room. The steps grew heavier before stopping right outside the door and I moved away from the door to avoid it swinging open on me, and standing in the doorway was a large burly black bear wearing farmhand clothing. He looked down at the floor before turning his gaze towards me and spoke in a deep gravely voice, "Ah so it's awake now." The bear moves away from the door before pointing down the dim hallway, "Well come on magic one. I need you to chat with someone."

Part of me does not trust this guy. He knows I have magic, but who does he want me to talk to? This could be anyone at this rate and if I am going to get sold again I am gonna be mad and the moment I get this stupid collar off is where I am going to raise some hell.

Doing as I am told, I walk out of the room and made my way into the hallway. The lighting was a bit dim, but my eyes adjusted well enough to see where to go. It wasn't a long hallway and had a few more doors. Before I could observe some more, the bear behind me nudged a foot on my right hind leg. "Come on now, I need you to head out to the living room." Turning head back to him, I nod before following his command.

The first thing my eyes drew towards when we walked out of the hallway, was the tied up brown haired purple imp. Her mouth was gagged but when she saw the bear again, she started struggling in her bindings as an attempt to escape. "Quit struggling demon spawn, play your cards right and I'll let you go." Next thing I know was me getting lifted and placed onto the center table between the chair the imp was in and the couch.

He moved closer to the imp and reaches around the back of her head to untie the gag he had on her. Once it was loose enough, she shook her head to drop the cloth down to her chin and growled at him. "Okay what stupid game are you going to try this time you daft oaf? Sick you dog on me?" The bear sighs before lifting the chair she was tied up in before turning it upside down, "Ack! Stop stop stop! I hate being upside down like this."

"Then you better stop being difficult and talk to this one here." The bear returns the chair back down and goes to sit on the couch. "Look, I am a simple man. I do farm and lumber work for a living and have it easy. What I don't want is magical beings causing a ruckus on my property."

My ears flatten a bit before turning my head towards the farmer. "Mind filling me in on this, cause I don't remember what the hell happen." He stares at me for a little while before the imp stares slack jaw at me, "This mutt can talk!? And here I thought you were making fun of and degrading me by forcing me to talk to a feral."

Rolling my eyes and facing the imp, "Yeah yeah whatever. I can already tell how this is going to go so let's cut to the chase. First of all, who the hell are you. Farmer guy here just wants to be left to his own thoughts and the sooner we get this over with the better." She glares at me before resuming her struggle to get out of the bindings. "Still don't get why I need to talk to a talking dog. Just let me go."

The bear raises his hands up to his head to rub his temples, "Start talking or I am hanging you upside down." Her ears flatten at the thought of being upside down again before growling. "Feh... name's Delilah. Happy? You got my name now let me go!"

Shaking my head and raising a paw to point at her, "Name's not enough. He wants to know why you are here. Even more I have some questions I want answered from you." Moving my paw closer to my neck, I rack my claws against the metal collar. "Starting with this fucking thing on my neck. Who's the dead person that put this on me?"

Delilah kept struggling in her binds as she starts thrashing about in place, causing the chair to start rocking back and forth slowly. "Don't know and I don't care. I had nothing to do with those stupid idiots. All I want to do is go home."

The farmer was losing patience and grabbed ahold of the chair and lifted it up to shake the imp wildly. "Hey! Knock it off you oaf!" He then places the chair down before pressing a finger against her forehead. "This isn't getting any better and I am not liking your presence on my land. I am going to untie you and you both have five minutes to get off my property."

I look up at the bear and was about to speak, but held against it as I can tell he was getting real mad. He begins undoing the knot on the rope binding Delilah and once it was loosened enough, she managed to slink her way out of the ropes and ran towards the door. As quickly as she escaped, she quickly opened the door and the three foot tall imp dashed off outside.

Once again, I am lifted and immediately taken outside. The bear carries me out towards the edge of the nearby silo and placed me down on the ground. "Well, you tried. Now go on a get before I have more of you magic creatures show up."

"And you're not even going to bother telling me anything?" Tilting my head up to look at his face, he closes his eyes before turning more towards the forest. "All I know is you were being dragged by some of those little demons. They scattered when I came out around with an axe and that purple one you talked with was who got left behind. She ended up running into a tree and that's how I caught her. I don't what they want with you and I don't care. Now be a good dog and get going."

And with that he turned around and walked back out towards his house. Not wanting to press matters further, even if I did have an option to do so, my next best idea was to head a certain direction and figure out where the hell I am.

Stretching my body a bit to let my joints pop, I relax for a second before making my way into the woods. "What a great way to get things going. My head hurts, I'm stuck as a feral, got this stupid magic repressing collar on my neck with no way to get it off currently, there are some demons out and about that want me for some reason, and I'm lost." Sighing, I watch my surroundings as I walk past several trees and sapplings. "It's going to suck more when I get horny. Anytime I get my magic suppressed is the ultimate amount of blue balls for me."
