The Lost Dog

It was a cold wednesday morning; the air was damp and it looked like it would rain. Janine was on her way to the bus stop, she was running a bit late and scared that she'd miss her ride to the university.

"Drat!" she shouted as she saw the bus take off from a distance. "What will I do now.." she muttered to herself.

Seemingly from out of nowhere, she heard a voice call out to her, "Why hello there!"

She turned abruptly, looking at the unfamiliar man. "Er, hello."

"Why are you out so early?" the man questioned her, approaching her rather quickly.

"I just missed my bus to Uni," she replied, cocking a brow. "What are you doing out so early?"

"My dog got out last night," he said with a solemn look on his face, "I'm out looking for it now.

Janine, being the animal lover she is, felt her heart drop to her gut "Let me help you find it!"

The man extended a hand to her. "The name is James, it's a pleasure to meet you."

She took his hand. "I'm Janine."

James pointed off towards the woods nearby. "The tracks lead out that way. The dog is partially deaf, so calling out wont do any good."

The two made their way into the wood. Janine didn't see any tracks at first but she started to notice some in the mud. The paw marks were large, it must have been a big dog.

The dog was spotted a few meters ahead. James turned to Janine and gave her instructions, "He's friendly with strangers. He'll expect a leash and the kennel if he spots me. I'll sneak up and grab him, just keep him distracted." Janine approached the dog slowly, he was panting with his tongue hanging out. 'What a big doof,' she thought to herself when suddenly everything went dark. James had come up behind her with a burlap sack over her head. She viciously grasped at her neck, trying to break free when she felt it. A needle had been injected in her. She slowly stopped moving.

Hours later she awoke, she was tied down in a dark room. The only light came from a red bulb dangling a few feet above her. The table she was restrained to was at a 90 degree angle, she saw James walking back and forth in the room.

"You did well, James." a feminine voice called out.

"I'm glad I've pleased you, mistress." James said back, kneeling down as she came down the stairs.

"Well, what a beauty you are." the woman snickered to Janine.

Janine tried to scream, but she was gagged. She was frantic, trying to break free from her restraints.

"Now, now. That wont get you anywhere, darling." the woman replied, piercing Janine in the shoulderblade with a small knife.

Janine was starting to black out, and the woman spoke the last thing she would ever hear:

"I hope you're as tasty as you're pretty."
