Changed [Caught]

I wake up and open my eyes. I see an empty room, with nothing in it. The floor is cold and hard. I try to stand up, but paws are sore, and I collapse again. A whine escapes from my throat. Then I hear human voices outside the door. ‘I think she’s awake, go give her some meat.’ After that, the door opens and a human comes in. I smell meat, and once again I try to get up. This time, driven by my hunger, I succeed. Slowly I walk to the human, and when I am a few meters away from it, I stop and sit down. I watch it, to see if it does anything. I remember the humans that shot me in the forest, and this is not one of them. Maybe it will actually give me the food. I lie down, the less threatening I appear, the more chance I’ve got for food. The human is staring at me. It has cold eyes, which betray no emotion. I return the stare. After a few minutes of this staring contest, I give up. With just staring I won’t get the meat, and being not threatening doesn’t work either. I get up and take a step towards the human. It takes a step back. I growl deep in my throat. It takes another step towards the door. Then I pull up my lip show my teeth, while growling louder. It takes the last step towards the door, throws the meat at me and escapes. So that’s how I get the food. I walk towards it and sniff it. It smells like deer meat. I take a nip, and it tastes delicious. My stomach aches of hunger, so I devour the meat as fast as I can. Then I walk back to the back of the room. I turn so that I can watch the door. I lie down, and stare at the door. When I’m about to fall asleep. I hear voices again. ‘Go in and try to see if she lets you pet her!’ ‘ B- but… what if she attacks me?’ ‘ I don’t care, she has to trust us, otherwise the plan won’t work.’ ‘Alright, alright! I’ll go in!’ After that, the door opens. A human comes in, and the door is closed from the outside. The human inside looks terrified. I can see the fear in it’s eyes, which are kept on me. I lift my head, so that I can look it straight in the eye. It looks away, and I put my head back on my paws. This is boring… I close my eyes. The human forms no danger, so I can sleep. But then the human comes closer. It takes one step at a time, at a very slow pace. Annoyed I open my eyes again. The fear in it’s eyes has decreased. It looks more confident now. I lift my head and stare at it. It freezes. I get up and stretch. Then I walk toward the human, who is still standing on the same spot, frozen with fear. Again. When I am one step away from it, I sit down. The human looks at me as if I’m gonna eat it. Maybe I will… I’m still hungry. But I don’t think it will taste very good… I drop my eyes. I wag my tail to show I mean it no harm. It’s fear decreases again. It brings it’s hand to my head, and when it is about to touch me, it pulls away. I whine softly. The hand comes back, and this time it actually touches me. The petting feels nice, but also wrong, against my instincts. I follow my instincts, and dig my teeth into the hand. The human screams out in pain. I jump back and growl ferociously. The human runs towards the door and hits it with his good hand. The door is opened and it runs away. When I can’t hear the sound of it’s fleeing footsteps anymore, I walk back to my place, satisfied with my actions. Now these humans know that they shouldn’t mess with me, that I will defend myself. With that feeling I fall asleep.
