They captured me a few years ago, when I was a puppy.

I whimpered, "Mama!" My mother whirled around and snatched me by the back of my neck, growling at Ida and the rest. "Don't worry about us," Therese kept coaxing. "We'll do nothing to your precious pup. We just want her for lab tests and we'll give her back." My father was right behind my mother, snarling at the scientists. At first, I really didn't get what was happening. All I wanted was to stay with my family, the pack, and to stay in the clearing. I whimpered again, "Mama!" but she didn't reply. She just shushed me like usual, but kept growling at the scientists.

Jake said, "I wish I didn't have to do this." He took out a spray-can, shook it, and pressed the spray button in my parents' faces. They breathed the strange black substance in the air and fainted instantly. I shivered, my tail between my legs. What are they doing to my parents? I thought to myself. I looked up at them with my wide eyes, and Therese took me and held me like a baby in her arms. It was slightly soothing, but she was a human. My mother always told me humans were greedy and cruel to animals. I was afraid, like any other puppy would be.

Ida walked up to Therese and me. "Alright," she said, grinning. "I've contacted back at the lab, so they're now waiting for us." Jake and Therese nodded, and they walked to their Jeep and sped towards their lab, which was about five miles away. Therese told me she was sorry, but she didn't know I could understand her. She said they were trying to see if they can implant a human soul into another body. I cried silently. The brakes screeched in the asphalt, and the doors slammed open in the lab. More people with white lab coats and really tidy hair came up to us.

Therese cuddled me while we walked into the lab, the glass walls reflecting the sun in my eyes. "We should start immediately," Jake told Therese, and she nodded. She set me down in a plastic capsule, and it quickly filled up with a strange green substance. What was strange was I could breathe in it, as if it was made of oxygen. My feet flew off the floor and I floated in the center of the capsule. Science was starting to freak me out. They wanted to refresh my body of the dirty wastes of the forest and the deer that I've eaten for the past 22 months.

They injected the sleep chemical into my leg, so I blacked out.

Jake seemed happy. "She's the perfect test subject," he said, and I could hear the happiness in his voice. Although smell, sight, and feelings left my body, I could still hear them while I was unconscious. "I sorta… feel sad," Therese said. "There's no time for that," Ida said. "We've captured the human soul from a young teenage girl. She's in the capsule next to the puppy's." "What's the girl's name?" Therese asked.
