She fought with herself as she slept, an uneasy restless sleep. Charm. The name was bitter. Charm, Lucifer's sister. Charm, Soran's former suitor. The collar she was on was only a choke chain, but someone kept an eye on her constantly. If she wasn't there, the door was somehow propped shut, not that she could reach it with the leash that kept her tethered to one spot. She couldn't paw off the collar. If she shifted to Optime, the collar choked her. She wanted to go home.
Charm entered the room, and Deuce's state of sleep changed, became lighter, almost but not quite a state of wakefulness. As the calico woman spoke, she pulled on the leash. Deuce climbed to her feet, as always, resisting the leash and collar. The damp of the floor was agitating her limp, a badly healed fracture from years ago. She knew what to do, how to act. She'd been in this position before. The thought came as Charm cuddled against the golden coyote that they'd be forced to return her home if she started yelling about belonging in New Dawn, not here.
She carefully laid down, laying her head on her paws as what the Anathemans were talking about hit her. A large storm, the kind a wolf could be hurt by, was here. She closed her eyes. Now that she had been seen after Charm seemingly taking care to hide her, perhaps others would seek her out and she could convince someone to help her. Even Ayasha. She opened her eyes, the mismatched orbs seeking out the form of the white female and the pups. Ayasha would help her.
