*****

On his way out the door, Tim stopped at the thermostat and a few seconds later the scent of old freon filled the air. Allyson squinted at the sight of Tim chuckling as he left the room.

As the air in the room grew colder, Allyson huddled in her cage. Her breath fell in crystallized vapors. She curled her hands under her armpits.

"Come on Allyson," she told herself. "They're just trying to torment you. He won't kill you. Not like this."

Her shivers grew violent and uncontrolled. She pulled away from the metal bars of the cage and curled in on herself in the center. She tucked her nose and mouth into her arms and let her warm breath try to build up some heat.

Exhaustion kept trying to set in. Teasing her with the sweet slumber of sleep and the promise of dreams. The first time she thought to give in to its call, she let her head bob over to the side. Minutes later Allan returned downstairs with a hose.

"Wakey, wakey, wakey, wakey!" Allan screamed. "You dogs stink! Time for your bath!"

Allyson screamed as the cold water pelted her.

After Allan left, she glanced over at James. Still knocked out.

Her skin tightened and goosebumps prickled up and down her arms. Her nose filled with ice crystals and her ears ached from the cold. Allyson curled back into the center of the cage and tried to reestablish her huddled body heat.

Ha! Joke's on them she told herself. I wanted them to wash the blood and filth out of the cage. Try as she might to tell herself otherwise, Allyson feared another cold wash down. She still had hours to make it through to sunset before her fur would grow in to protect her from their icy torture. To keep from falling asleep again, Allyson started talking. Mostly in gibberish. Counting songs and creating lists.

A short while later, Tim came down again to check on the two wolves. James still lay unconscious in his cage. Tim scoffed and kicked the cage. Then he walked over to Allyson's cage and crouched down to look her in the eye.

"Enjoy your bath, dog?"

Allyson pursed her lips together and stared straight past Tim.

"Why don't you tell me a story, Allyson. Hm? While you're still human enough to remember how to tell a story. Why don't you tell me about the time when Tim, that would be me, bested the big bad wolf. And wiped out all werewolves, making them extinct?"

He paused for a few minutes and studied her. Then he stood up and started walking back out of the room.

"How about, instead, I tell you about the time I first saw Garrett. Huh? You see, I met him when I woke up in the hospital. After Eddie stuck me with that needle and beat me to within an inch of my life to make it look like a mugging. Garrett found me and brought me in to the hospital. So when I woke up, he was there. Watching over me.
