It was the beginning of another dark day for Loopy, but he had learned not to fear the dark. The wolf wandered around the tight closet that he had grown up in, sniffing at at the ground. There was nothing new about it. There never was. There never had been. He huffed lightly and curled up into a ball against the wall. It was only a few hours until meal time. Oh yay.

"It's about time that old guy died." A man let out a loud snicker as he busted his way into the room.
A smaller fellow mimicked his enthusiasm as he displayed a hesitant smirk. "You're right, Jason. He couldn't even hold a syringe steady! And now that he's dead, his room is ours!"
"His room is mine, you mean." Jason corrected with a snarl. "Let's see what he left me..." He occupied himself rummaging through miscellaneous items on a desk. "Wait a moment..." He spied a document with an unusual name.
"Do you smell that? It smells like sewage! Jesus, what did he do in here?!" Jason's friend followed his nose to the closet, prying at the handle curiously.
"Kyle... we're in the wrong room!" Jason snapped around with the proof in his hand, to find his friend peeking into a stranger's closet.
Realizing Loopy's presence, Kyle slammed the door with a thud. "Uh... Jason, you might want to take a look in here..."

Loopy jumped in surprise as the door to his home was opened slightly and a beam of light lit up his surroundings. He yipped lightly, squeezing his eyes shut. It was too bright for his eyes after he'd grown up in nearly a pitch black environment. He could hear humans talking through the door, but he didn't understand what they were saying. Neither of the voices was the voice of his shadow-walker. Odd. The wolf had never heard any other voice coming from the door. What was going on? He whimpered lightly and scratched lightly at the wood. Maybe it was already food time?

Jason took his friends dare, and peeked into the closet as well. Spying the young wolf inside, he shut it again and the two exchanged looks of surprise.
"Who the hell... keeps a feakin' wolf in their closet?"
"He doesn't seem wild. Maybe they tamed it?"
"Let's take it to Archibald." Jason instructed, preparing to swing open the closet once more.
"Whoa, dude! Wait! What if it attacks us?!"
Jason snarled, "You just said it looked tame. Besides... if the Professor finds out..."
Kyle shuddered, hesitating a moment before signaling the wolf's release.
The door swung open, and both of the men tackled Loopy, vigorously trying wrangle him with bare, but strong and skilled hands.

Loopy jumped back in surprise as a pair of shadow-walkers leapt into the closet, grabbing at him. He flattened his ears against his head as he was tackled to the ground and bit at the hands around him. The wolf struggled hard to get away, but there was nothing he could do to keep from them easily capturing him. The blinding light from the bedroom wasn't helping. He whimpered as their strong hands closed around his fur and limbs, trying to bite and scratch at them to make them let go. Even if he'd been kept in a closet for practially all his life, the wolf had never been handled by a human.

The two men struggled with the beast, enduring multiple slashes from his fangs. With little help from his wounded friend, Jason pulled Loopy from the closet by his mane and tail.
If the wolf was to escape, it would mean much more than a few scars. "Damnit, Kyle! Get off your a** and come help me!" Jason growled, struggling to hold Loopy off alone.
Kyle, seeming to recover quickly from his injuries, scrambled to help restrain the wolf. Together, they dragged the frightened creature to the Professor's lab.

It was too bright. Loopy whimpered in pain as he continued to struggle, his eyes too use to the dark to be able to deal with even the normal light. The hands grabbing and pulling at him didn't help him be anything but scared. He whimpered again, trying to twist around to bite but he couldn't due to the hand at his neck. What was this new place? Why had he been pulled from his home?

This wolf proved to be weaker than most, being deprived of the activities wild wolves do. Jason briefly analyzed Loopy's health as they marched down the hall. He was thin, and his growth most likely stunted in that closet. Jason was thankful for his life that the wolf was so incapable.
Jason and Kyle arrived at the lab with little complications. They tossed him onto a cold, iron bed and quickly strapped him down. Taking a moment to breathe and check their injuries, the men didn't notice the shady figure towering over them.
"What is this...? A gift?" Archibald eyed the his assistants with a nonchalant grin.
"P-professor! We found this beast in Paul's closet. It looks like he's been keeping him their for... years." Jason and Kyle straightened out and hid their weaknesses in front of their superior. "We figured you would know how to deal with this."
"Is that so?" Archibald's grin vanished, and he pushed past the men to get a better look at Loopy. "...Let Paul know that I want to speak with him later." The men obeyed, quickly fleeing his presence. Archibald gently stroked the wolf's mane. If the wolf tried to strike, he would not flinch. A wicked gleam flicked across his eyes as he whispered. "I hope those fools didn't harm you..."

The wolf flinched lightly as he was stroked, opening his eyes slightly but soon squeezing them shut again. He tried to wiggle free from his bindings but to no use. Where ever he was, he wasn't going anywhere. After a moment, he again tried to peer around him. His weak eyes landed on the Professer and he whimpered, going limp as he gave up struggling. Loopy tucked his tail between his legs and flattened his ears against his head. His instincts were telling him that he was doomed. Maybe he was. It wouldn't surprise him.

"Well, don't you worry." Archibald slipped away to gaze at his collection of blueprints. "I'll make you stronger." He plucked his favorite set of notes, briefly read through them, and grinned his approval. With the swoosh of his lab coat, the Professor swung around, now armed with a loaded syringe.
"Has anyone ever told you how fabulous your coat is? Though... it could do with a little more shine." The Fear-Walker cooed his falsely comforting words as he prepared the syringe for injection. Leaning over the wolf once more, Archibald gently grasped Loopy's muzzle.
"This'll only hurt for a second." Tightening his grip, he aimed the needle into Loopy's vulnerable nostril.

Loopy let out a noise that could only be defined as a scream and, struggled fiercly to try and pull his muzzle from the Fear-Walker's grip. He thrashed, trying to push himself up to his feet but still held down by his bondages. This was most definetely worse then his dark prison. Dark retreat more like it. He shook his head, his ears flat against his head as he tried to get the sharp piece of metal from his nose. 'Let go! Let go! Please!' He screamed out in his language, although he knew this person couldn't understand. Where was his shadow-walker? Even if the man had kept him locked in a prison for all his life, he had never hurt him. He'd save him!

"Shhshhshh..." Archibald stroked Loopy's mane as he pulled the needle from his nose. An odd discolored goo strung from the tip, stretching and breaking off as Archi placed the syringe on the far end of the iron bed. "That should help you relax a little."
That little concoction floating around in Loopy's blood was Archi's favorite drug to use on first-time patients. A weak sedative with mild hallucinogenic properties that made the victim clumsy and confused. Any pain conflicted would be dulled... but not enough to keep him from screaming. Archibald laughed, red eyes blazing with malicious intentions.
The Professor swung around again, turning his back on the beast. "I'm off to the aviary. You behave... And I'll be right back with a little treat." With a mischievous tone, he hastily retreated from his lab. The door glided to conceal his view, but it did not click shut.

Loopy whimpered as the concotion began to take effect, blurring his surroundings slightly. He couldn't stay here. No. This place was filled with death. He could smell it now. The wolf struggled against his bonds before he finally managed to twist his head so that he could chomp down on the straps. Within a short amount of time, Loopy had broken through one of the straps and was able to wiggle himself free. He leapt to the ground and bolted for the door. After easily nosing it open, the wolf took off down the hallway, not at all being stealthly. How to get out.... Well he'd just have to figure that out as he went. Could it really be all that hard?
Finally! All the quivering balls of fur were fed. Now it was back to his room to give his own pet its food. Wouldn't his wolf be happy? He might even let him touch hi- What the hell?! The Shadow-Walker froze as his cool blue eyes landed on said wolf, sprinting full speed down the hall, though its gait wasn't normal and he wasn't going in exactly a straight line. How had his pet gotten free? "Stop!" He cried out in frustration, running to intercept the canine. He had to get his pet back before someone else noticed it!
That voice! Loopy's eyes widened as he recognized his Shadow-Walker's voice. He skidded to a stop just out of Paul's reach, his tail tucked between his legs. Could he trust this man? After all... He'd never hurt him, but....

"There you are!" Jason marched down the hall in a boiling rage, his accusing finger aimed at Paul. "You-" He paused short of his scolding when he spotted the wolf at his feet. Mouth agape, Jason's arm slowly fell back to his side.
"I can't believe this..." Jason muttered, cautiously eyeing the drugged animal. "Does the Professor know about this? Because... if he doesn't..."
Jason gave Paul a hollow stare, a soul lacerating leer that caused him to quiver.
"Did you find 'im?" Kyle finally caught up, panting as he reached Jason's side. He looked from the wolf, to Paul, to Jason as his palms rested on his knees and tried to catch his breath. It was just moments later that Kyle was able to interpret the scene. The shock that proceeded halted his breathing, and his speech.

Paul's eyes snapped away from Loopy to Jason before between the two again. "Does the Professor know about what? It's not my fault that you incompetent goons can't keep an experiment from escaping!" He snapped before he lunged at Loopy, grabbing a hold of the wolf's mane. The shadow-walker ignored the wolf's yip, instead grabbing a piece of jerky from his pocket that was already supposed to be Loopy's dinner and shoving it into the wolf's mouth to distract him. "It's a good thing that I was here or he'd have gotten out entirely." There... Maybe now they wouldn't find out that he'd been hiding Loopy for all this time.
Loopy cried out as he was grabbed at, but soon went silence as he instead turned his attention to the jerky now in his mouth. He knew his shadow-walker would take care of him! The wolf whimpered, his tail tucked between his legs as he tried to pull away and get further away from the other two, but Paul held him tight.
