Steal the Sun
““Hey, buddy,” I said in my brightest voice. “You want to pull that knife out of the sheath and cut through these ties? I’ll give you a treat.”
Big black eyes looked up at me with zero intelligence in them. He did that doggie smile thing and popped up to lick my face. It was sweet and not helpful in our current situation. At my feet, Shuck began to snore, his enormous body rising and falling with his deep breaths. I was in a place filled with unique and magical creatures and I got stuck with two dumb dogs.
Closing my eyes, I started to work on the bindings on my hands. I had tried to hold them apart to make the loop as large as I could while the Hunter was tying me up so I would have some wiggle room when I relaxed. I was happy to find that this ploy, unlike everything else I had tried tonight, worked. I had a small but significant amount of slack to work with. The rope burned, but I continued my struggle. If I bled, it would just serve as a handy lubricant to grease the wheels a bit.
