Black-Sun watches wolves around her yipping, bracing herself for the shocking to start. Then, it started and she yipped, scratching and clawing at the collar. "RED-STAR....you lucky WOLF!" Black-Star thought, shaking and thinking how to escape the pain.

Red-Star covered his ears, not listening to the pain and suffering of the others. He was lucky that he didn't have a collar.

Alaska was yowling so loud she was sure the humans would have heard. She scraped against the fence, jumping under and scraping against the sharp, pointy ends. It didn't work, but when she had her collar back o the other side of the fence, it stopped.

Moon saw that the wolves were panicking, she ran to find katie to see if she had a collar

While Kayori was waiting outside of the fence she got a sharp pain in her neck. She would yelp as soon as the pain happened and went back inside of the enclosure. After Kayori went back inside the pain lessened but was still happening. Kayori would curl up into a ball next to the hole out and whimper because of the pain.

Moon gave up on looking for katie, so she went to the hole and decided to see what would happen to her if she went out.

Black-Sun bolts into the enclosure, seeing others do so. As soon as she does, the pains stop. She looks around to see an elder, Alaska, and Kayori. She sees the elder somehow take his collar off. "How did he do that?" Black-Sun wondered. She saw the elder walk over to a pup, asking Alaska to help him with the pup. She went over to the creek and dipped her collar in a few times, just as the elder did, then, she went over to the root that the male had dug up and made sure her collar was secured on, then put her paw on the other side of the collar. She then pulled back quite fast and did that a few times. Then, a few more times, until finally, the collar slid off. "Wow, elders are very smart." Black-Sun whispered to herself. She took the collar in her mouth and dug up the hole that she'd put the muzzle in. She dropped the collar in and buried them again. "I'll never forget these torturous things. I hope they burn and then get stuck at the bottom of a lake, forgotten forever." she growled. She then ran out of the hole, relieved to have the collar off. She hoped that most of the wolves were able to get the collars off before the humans came back.

Alaska leaps desperately over to Shadow, who brought down a bowl of water and was standing near a root. She dipped her collar in the water like he had, and hooked the root onto her collar and yanked herself out. She was free!

Hearing a wolf yelling woke MoonBeam up. She heard the last part as clear as day; Collar off. MoonBeam stood up despite the severe pain she was in. She climbed through the hole and the pain stopped. "Finally..." thought MoonBeam wanting to stop. She had to get over to Shadow though. She climbed over to the elder wolf, who she assumed was Shadow, and waited for him to explain how to remove this horrid pain from her neck. She wondered about what freedom would be like again as she waited for other wolves. All she knew was that it would be better than this place. A place of tests, suffering, torture, pain, and many things MoonBeam couldn't describe. She knew that "outside" would at least be a place of freedom and happiness.

Keyori forces herself to get up. She heads over to the other wolves and sits down. Kayori would wait patiently to know how to get the collar off.
