"Why?" Felix asked quietly, on his knees, his hands bound in duct tape. A beautiful flame haired man reached down and began to caress the hair of a blank eyed girl who seemed to stare into nothing.
"Why? Why not? It's what I do, its what we as a species do. You are cattle that can occasionally be bred to be guard dogs. You were one of the lucky ones Felix. You were to be a pure bred, I could have shown you and Rebecca off to my friends. I guess you're adamant about remaining cattle......and I had such high hopes for you."
The man leaned down and whispered something into the girls ear. He then simply smiled at Felix and walked away.
The girl produced a knife and slowly walked towards Felix with purpose. He began to cry.
"Rebecca......Rebecca..." The knife was raised high poised to strike. "REBECCAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
Felix leaped out of bed and was on the floor with a wicked looking curved dagger, sweating bullets. He realized he was poised to strike his "Star Wars A New Hope" poster. He quickly dropped his knife and fell onto his ass, putting his face into his hands. He was trying to steady his breathing. Felix hadn't had that dream in a long time. He thought he had repressed that memory. Some things stay with you, he guessed.
He heard hard padding footsteps and a mountain of fur approached. Mouse, Felix's half Mastiff half wooly mammoth, trodded his way over to him and gave him a very sympathetic look. Mouse was very intelligent for a dog, a little too intelligent. Felix patted his head. "It's alright boy, I'll be fine."
Felix stood up and looked around his room. His room was actually a side space in the Institutes garage, as he was there driver. Now, he was supposed to be working today, but he really didn't care. He was meeting Winni today for another day of sitting around trying to figure out what to do and end up indulging the first whim that came to mind.
After he got dressed in a black shirt that states "Hunt Naked" with jeans and black hi-tops, he hopped in his Jeep and reved the engine. Mouse hoped in the front seat and soon they were off.
As he drove down the many different streets to Winni's house in his aviator sunglasses, Felix thought about how cool it was that Winni was on summer vacation so they could hang out a lot more. No one at the institute really wanted to ever hang with him, seeing as he was "Mundane" and none of the human kids at his school ever really understood him. Felix honestly dreaded the day Winni found out who she was. He was afraid she would turn into one of them and see him as just "Mundane" and stop caring about him. He wouldn't be sure what to do with himself after that.
Felix shook his head and turned on the radio. That day was probably a long ways off, he would cross that bridge when he came to it.

When approaching Winni's house, he heard Mouse let off a low bubbling growl from his throat. When he pulled over and looked up, he saw a naked girl getting clothes on. His face immediately went red and he nearly got whiplash from how fast he turned his head away. He was incredibly confused at what was transpiring and more than a little curious.
When he finally ventured another peek, the girl was dressed and approaching Winni's door. He swore he heard yelling coming from inside.
As he got out with Mouse and approached the house, he spotted Fox standing just off the property. He scowled and approached her. "Fox, what the hell are you doing here? You know your forbidden to approach Winni while she's under the wolves care. You could screw everything......wait. Whats.....whats going on in there?"
