Skipper's point of view:

The bone-chilling hands jerked me up from the ground. Then, I knew it was my turn. As the gritty man carried me, eyes peered out of the pitch black darkness. Some were filled with melchnolly relief and others with despair. For they knew, they could be next. Right, at that moment I remembered the words my father had told me when he had left for war: "Now, that you're a soldier 你 must never be afraid to die. It is the greatest honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield. Win 或者 don't come back at all." The human hoisted me up to his face level and snickered with his diseased teeth stained from smoking and other foul substances.

"Looks like it's your turn my little friend. 你 better win 或者 else I'm out of two hundred bucks!" The man scolded, squeezing me to the point were he came close to suffocating me. His breath was stained of cigarettes and beer.

The man slammed a door open and entered. It was the same one I had been in before. I was handed to a devious scrawny man with his back hunched who put me on the scale, I had been weighed on the 日 my team and I were captured. It had been weeks since I saw my boys last. They all could have been killed in this savage slaughter, for all I knew. I couldn't 熊 even imagining the terror and agony. I dazed down at the scale. I had 迷失 half of my body weight already.

"I don't believe we named him yet, Stone." The grinning man 说 to his goon friend, nudging my chin.


"What are we going to name him? Well, remember how he struggled to protect his pack when we got them. Maybe, we should name him something appropiate to that." The goon 说 spitting, which landed on me.


"It's called a 'rookery', moron. Well, he didn't succeed," he replied and turned to me, "no, 你 didn't did you." I nipped at him. "Don't make me whip you, again! I guess, we'll name 你 disgrace. See 你 in the arena." He 说 as crossed his arms across his back and strolled off chuckling.


"He's right, I am a disgrace." I thought to myself. "Stone" caught me 由 suprise when he tied a rope harshly around my neck and yanked me to the stiff floor. "Like I said, win this! Because if 你 lose and he doesn't kill you, I'll turn 你 into a coat." Stone warned. With all his might he tugged at the snug leash and dragged me down a dark hallway. A strip of light gleamed on me. My eyes hadn't seeked the ablaze of lights in weeks. This was it, no turning back. I had to meet my destiny.
