A Chevrolet Camero pulled up to a checkpoint in the woods. The car stopped as a young man held out his identification to the guard. He sat there, and while he patiently waited for the guard to read over his i.d., he hummed a song he had listened to on the way there.
Handing him his identification, the guard began to say, "Alright, you're all clear, Mister...", but the man in the Chevrolet finished his sentence, "Daté is how you pronounce the last name." The guard smirked and lifted the bar blocking the man's car from going in, and he at once drove into the dirt parking lot. The facility was large but hidden fairly well deep in the woods, with security that watched for movement around the clock.
The man stepped out of his Camero and grabbed a briefcase in the back seat. He made his way to the front doors, noticing not only the expensive vehicles that had to have belonged to the scientists, but also the large, bulky vans that must have carried the animals into the facility.
The poor things..., Christopher Daté thought to himself, finally entering the facility and stopping at a security station inside the front hallway. He handed his briefcase to the security guard, and walked through the metal detector, which didn't go off. The briefcase was inspected and returned to him, and the man was on his way down the hall.
These men are cowards., Daté's thoughts raced just slightly.
They think they're getting a visit from a well known hunting enthusiast, but what they don't know is that they just let a U.S. Marine past security...-=|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|=-
The men walked into the room again, looking at each of the deer. The animals stared back at them, their thoughts racing as they wondered who would be taken next. The men set their eyes on a young fawn, who had kept quiet for the while. "She's the one.", one of them said, and the other two approached Opi's cage.
The young doe stared up at them as the cage opened. When she saw the slightest space between them, Opi quickly stood and darted past the two men. "Dammit!", one of them shouted, watching as the fawn raced toward the door. "Go, Opi, Go!", the deer shouted encouragingly, and the fawn smiled as she was approaching freedom...
*Bang*
The sound startled the others and they fell quiet, watching in horror as the fawn misstepped and hit the ground hard. "They killed her!", Liëka cried out. Ravenflight noticed a small dart sticking out of the fawn's side, "No, it's that sedative again. She passed out."
One of the men was holding a rifle, who lowered it and placed it back on the wall. The men approached the drugged fawn and lifted her up, taking her down the hallway and to her fate.
-=|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|=-
She awoke, rubbing her face as her head throbbed from a headache. The fawn sat up and looked around. The room was empty, aside from two objects in the center that sat on a table. Both were food items - the one to the left was a leafy head of romaine lettuce; the one to the right was something the fawn had never seen, a strip of thin, dried meat. There was a rotten odor in the room, but she tried to ignore it.
The scientists watched eagerly through a window. The fawn could see them this time, as she approached them and stared with worry. They shook their heads and pointed at the table. A voice came over a speaker, "When you eat from the table, then we will let you go."
Opi looked back at the table, "That's it?", she questioned. The men could not understand her as she spoke it in the deer language, but the fawn then walked over to the table, looking at the two items curiously. "Easy enough.", she said, and reached her head over toward the romaine lettuce.
*bzzt!* A shock jolted her lips, and the fawn backed away. "Oww!", she cried, and looked back at the lettuce with a look of disgust. "You have to eat.", the voice said to her. Opi tried the romaine again. *bzzt!* She was shocked once more, and she backed away from the table, shaking her head in pain.
The fawn then looked at the other item, and slowly, reluctantly, she began to chew on it. The meat was dry and tasteless. Opi did not know what she was eating until it was gone.
She looked to the scientists, a fowl taste in her mouth as she said, "There, I ate it! Now let me go!" The scientists smiled, "Do you know what you just ate?", they asked through the speaker.
The fawn stared at them blankly, before realizing that a door had opened nearby. She saw it out of the corner of her eye, and running toward it, she skidded to a halt and gasped in horror.
The door was a dead end, inside lay the body of an elk, his side cut open. The animal had been dead for a while now, as a few flies had already begun to buzz around him. The fawn, disgusted and horrified, ran away from the door, inadvertently knocking into the table and electrocuting herself as her body came in contact with the lettuce.
The fawn passed out, curling up weakly.
-=|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|=-
The men returned her to her cage, but before they closed the door, one of them placed something in her food bowl. They closed the cage and walked out of the room.
The others saw the broadcast, and they all watched the fawn begin to wake. Opi barely had her eyes open, and she saw the head of romaine sitting in her cage. She would never touch it.
