I growled weakly. How long had I been here, days, weeks? I couldn't tell. I limped to the other side of my cage. They had kept me here and beaten me. I laid down, not even attempting to warm my sleeping place, for fear that I may collapse. I shrugged. I sighed and the darkness enveloped me, sending me into a deep sleep.

When I woke I felt no better. I was barely able to move my head, and I felt nauseas. I growled weakly in annoyance. I forced myself up, and collapsed back down. I sighed, my throat so sore I cut myself off. I refused to be so weak in front of every other dragon, as an alpha. I stood up, and forced my legs to keep balance. I limped forward slowly, and slowly laid down. I gurgled sadly, I couldn't fall asleep and felt like I was going to vomit. I rolled over, and growled, angrily. I shot plasma-blasts at the ceiling, and roared. I was angry and bored, not a good combination for me. I quickly laid in my stomach again. I felt nausea take over again, and quietly whispered. This was going to be a long day.
