The two continued gesture in rapid motion. They were both so fast that I almost couldn’t understand their conversation… almost. Basically, the gist was they were asking if I was the new recruit.

I watched them stop at the same time to turn and look at me. Both of the wore a forced grin on their face before the orange one stepped forward. The ground crunched under his scaly feet.

He swallowed hard then opened his mouth. Inside was white along with his tongue as he hissed out something I could not understand. Closing his mouth the green one laughed and the orange one shot him a look.

Thumping my tail I got their attention then added a small bark. The orange one tried again. He said in one long hiss, “H-h-h-h-he-l-l-o-o-o.”

I tried to answer but instead I said, “Woof.”

Orange lizard glanced over his shoulder at the green one and nodded for him to come forward. The green one darted a look between the cage and the path. He fiddled with his fingers before he took one step closer. The orange lizard sighed then grabbed the green one’s hand and yanked him forward.

Greenie stumbled forward and almost landed on his face but caught himself in a two hop step. I barked again as my tail thumped the wood floor of the cage. He grinned then said, “Y-y-y-o-o-u-u n-n-n-e-w?”

I nodded my head and barked. The two lizard men clasped their hands together and did a small hop letting their smiles grow bigger. They both stopped when I let out a small whine. I didn’t know why they would be happy that I’m a new captive of this place.

Orange one stuck out his hand and said, “F-f-f-riend?”

I licked it. He pulled it back and giggled in a hissing fashion. The green one also threw his hand out towards me and said, “F-f-f-riend.”

It wasn’t a question. It was more of a statement. I rolled my eyes then licked his hand too. He pulled it back and waved it in the air then wiped it on his shirt. Both of them grinning from ear to ear. That is if lizards had ears.

A horn sounded over the intercoms and the two lizard men clasped their hands over their ear holes then cowered to the ground. My ears flattened too at the high pitched squeal of the horn being played.

When the sound ended the green one peered back up and said, “W-w-w-o-rk. N-n-needs t-t-a b-b-be d-d-done. B-b-b-ye.”

The orange one nodded and both of them threw me a two fingered salute before they scurried off down the path to the other wooden booths. I guess I made new friends though what I really want is to go home. I wish dad was here.

Another loud sound blasted out of the metal speakers that were hung up on the wooden polls. It was followed by a series of short blasts of high pitched squeals. An alarm. Someone is either attacking or an intruder has been caught.

Deep inside me I felt the stirring of the witch’s power pull my inner werebeast. Red tinged the sides of my vision bringing some color back into my two toned world. The witch from last night was at my cage.

She stayed low in a crouch and whispered in her honeyed tone, “My sweet little wolf. It is time you prove your worth. An intruder has trespassed onto our territory.”

I whined in return as she reached between the bars and caressed the side of my face. I leaned into it and breathed in her delicious scent of rose and apples. She scratched behind my ears then asked, “Will you do something for me?”

Her control slid over me like a well worn glove. I let the rage and desire burrow deep into my soul. I glanced at her and nodded.

Her eyes shone with a light golden hue over her emerald eyes twice. The spell that she wove over my heart took complete control. The witch’s dark plump lips broke into a smile and said, “Kill them for me.”

Of course,master. Anything for you.
