A large truck pulled into the zoos loading bay. Two men opened their doors and jumped out of the truck. The moved quickly and silently towards the back, aware that they only had two wild animals in cages that needed to be brought to the zoo. Their original wildlife reservation they came from said that it was urgent that these two animals were transferred, but they gave no specifications to the reason why. The two men talked amongst themselves as they skimmed through the paperwork before opening the cargo doors.
Ace woke groggily from the tranquilizer dart that was shot at him earlier. He knew they were being transferred but for some reason he fought back, trying to protect the arctic fox he thought of as a sister. He looked up at the girl now sleeping in the cage across from him. She had been shot with a tranquilizer as well. The wolf boy could hear voices just outside the door. It had to be night time, although he couldnt quite tell sin e the large box their cages sat in was completely enclosed. Soon a loud creaking sound came and a dim light filtered the area.
The men looked in at their precious cargo in the back, expecting to see a small white fox and large red wolf. But to their surprise in the cages sat a white haired girl with ears and a tail and a red haired man.
"What the-?" the tall man looked at his partner questioningly. "Where the hell did those animals go?" he looked at the red wolfs cage where the boy sat up staring at them.
"Im right here dumbasses." The man growled, showing off his sharp wolf teeth.
The men screamed in horror, accidentally throwing the keys to the cages up on the truck bed. Ace reached his hand out and grabbed them. He then unlocked his cage and moved to Artemis', unlocking hers as well. He gently shook her shoulder, waking the girl.
"Artemis, we're here." He said softly.
"Ace?" the girl asked. "What do we do?"
"Lets check out our new home." he grinned. Then he helped her out of the cage and they hopped off the truck bed and opened the gate to the zoo. This would be their home from now on.
