Wraith hissed softly, eyes fixed on the mouse. "Get out of here, kid. If they find you here, they'll kill you." He pulled the little pup closer to him, laying down, but never looking away from the mouse.

Ricky

Ricky's pupils became larger from fear and doubt."They kill? I was told a lie.They pampered me for years and all this time they kept this from me? No, this can't be."

"Of course they do, kid." Wraith growled, baring his teeth as if to prove the fact. "Why do you think they made me?"

Ricky

She silently looked down at her paws, keeping to herself for a few moments."They did make him to kill him later, maybe even the puppy.Why in my whole life of living here that I didn't expect a bad thing to be here? I've though this place was innocent, and now it's not." She then looked at her abnormally skinny body, a feature of her that left her wondering why she was looking like a skeleton for years.She slowly started to walk away, her ears lowered.Her tail dragged to the ground, clearly upset with her owners for lying.

"Be careful, kid." Wraith watched Ricky leave, huffing softly as he glanced toward the pup behind him. The poor thing was barely awake, now. His tail curled around the small white form, and he stared out toward the wall opposite his cage.

Straith futtered onto a nearby ledge in one of the bars.

"W=w=what-how-h?" she sputtered in surprise after seeing the pup.

"What's so surprising?" Wraith huffed, glancing briefly up at Straith with an irritated look. "He's my company."

Ricky

She did hear him, but still didn't respond.She truly wanted to confront her owners.She didn't care that she was noticeable or if they greeted her, keeping silent until she reached her owner's room."Oh, hello 626, how's it going?" he asked.Ricky climbed up the table, giving him a stern look."Oh I was just wondering, why do I look so skinny? I have no appetite as well.Do you know why?" Her owner paused, shocked by her questions."626, I will tell you that you are anorexic but the secret on how...I can't say it." he responded.Ricky was immediately hit with the thought that her own owner caused her to become anorexic, her tail twitching."Tell me right now!" she commanded.Her owner's watch beeped, meaning that he had a meeting planned."Sorry 626, but I have to go." he said, running away."I can't let her know that I purposely injected her with that liquid, I must keep her from knowing." he thought.Ricky exhaled sharply, irritated.She then crept back to the room Wraith was in again, now silently forcing herself to go in an empty cage and think to herself.

Straith shrugged. "I dunno, Just that they let u two stay together in the same place? Or that they don't let you out?"

"They don't know he's still alive." Wraith hissed, curling his tail a little more around the pup. "And they'd not survive if they let me out."
