Staring down at my journal with my plan written in it I started to think that this escape will be harder than actually expected to happen in my dreams and in my head.

On paper this was a good idea, I mean sure when it is written out and put into order it seems like a flawless plan that can't possibly fail but when it is put into actual practice it might fall apart like a house of cards in an instant. I had to not only get all of my belongings together, find a means of stealing the key to the prison cell and escort all of them out onto the surface which will be harder than imagined. Not only that but I must also break into the alpha's chamber, find the damn idol and steal that before making my escape and knowing the alpha for however short of a time I know that he won't just relinquish that priceless artifact to just anyone.

I will need a trump card, a failsafe in the event something goes horribly wrong, but what?

Before I could think any further I heard movement to my right and I saw my dog friend turning over in my bed and lets out a rather cute yawn as he stretches on my bed before rolling over onto his stomach and goes back to sleeping.

Letting out a sigh of relief I go back to my journal, my quill tapping in irritation as I struggled to come up with a plan to escape this place and failing to even come up with a proper step one that can work without fail.

That is until I remembered that I have power here, I can ask or persuade some of these dogs to do the dirty work for me, I just need to find the runts of the litter if I am do get anything for our escape to the surface...sadly there are not many runts here for me to use. Tapping the quill on my head I thought long and hard on how I am going to go about this, I will need plenty of food and water if we are going to make it to the nearest spot of civilization.

Here is hoping the dogs don't immediately give chase to us once we make our escape.

Putting the quill down and hiding my journal I stood up and looked over at my sleeping friend for a moment before shaking my head, I rather not use him for my plan, they might kill him if they ever find out that he had a hand in my escape and I would never screw my friend over, even if it means that I am stuck down here for the rest of my life.

Stepping away from my desk I left my room and wandered around the caves, looking at the passing dogs, taking note of who was who and remembering the faces of the runts that I pass, there wasn't many but they could be of some use to me when the time comes.

Getting back my backpack that is holding my shit and also some other valuable loot that I had been hoarding for a while, where it might be located is a mystery to me. It is either located in the alpha's room because he hoards everything the dogs bring in, or it is in the treasure room where he just dumps everything.

Either one of the two I will have to break into a secure area and get out without getting caught or me having to bribe the guards.

'How the hell am I going to do this?'

Looking around to see if there was any dogs on patrol I let out a sigh of relief when I didn't hear the sounds of pads on stone and clanking metal, I can guess that I have to go to the treasure room and decided to ask the next dog that I bump into.

Walking down the cave I placed my hand on the wall, the smoothness of it was a bit a strange as the usual stonework is rough and uneven but for some reason this particular tunnel is smooth, polished even. I got a bad feeling about this particular tunnel but I know its probably just jitters, this is most likely the tunnel that leads to the treasure room. Gotta keep up appearances if the alpha is to be believed, if his room is full of treasure than the room that holds it all must be filled with gold, gems, statues and other priceless relics and artifacts.

As I kept on walking the tunnel suddenly grew cold and that with each passing step it grew colder and colder until it got to the point that I can see my own breath in the air, even the torches that were on the wall seemed to be suffering from this cold as the were all nearly put out.

"Why the hell is it so cold now? It used to be warm a while ago and now its like I am walking into a bloody freezer! What fresh bullshit is this?"

Shivering in a cave is not something I was prepared for, what I wasn't also prepared for was for my feet to slip out from underneath me as I fell on my ass before sliding down the tunnel. Apparently this cold tunnel had a slant to it and it was just enough for me to slide down it, steadily gaining speed and before I knew it I collided into a rock and was promptly knocked the fuck out when my head whacked against a wall.

I don't know how long I have been unconscious for but during that time I was out cold I found that when I had woken up it was in front of a large circular door at the end of the long tunnel.

Why there is a door like this down here is strange and why the hell is it so damn cold that it got to the point that frost and ice has started to line the floor and walls?

Scratching my head at the sight of the door I tried to look around and see if there is any means of opening it but when I couldn't find any I just about given up on cracking this now obvious vault open but instead of turning around leaving I instead heard a distant cracking sound. The cracking noise only got louder and when I turned to face the vault I saw that it was opening up, I guess I must have stepped on a pressure plate or something cause this thing is opening up as if I was meant to go in there.

When the door opened up it revealed to me the greatest sight in the world. A mountain of treasure, gold coins as far as the eye can see, gems as large as my fist and head, statues of what looks like minotaurs, winged horned horses, a strange abomination of nature, dragons and also a single diamond dog gold statue.

And lying at the base of the mountain was my backpack. These bastards threw my shit in here without a second thought! I swear if these fuckers broke my laptop I am going to stab someone!

Running to my backpack I grabbed it and unzipped it to find that my laptop was still inside and when I flipped it open I saw that everything was still intact, next was the most important step, seeing if it would turn on. Pressing the power button while crossing my fingers I waited a gracious ten seconds until the Windows symbol popped up and after twenty seconds I was at the login screen, a picture of dickbutt my background and after using my face as my password I saw that everything was still working fine but there was one tiny little detail that seemed to be out of order.

The battery power for my laptop, last time I looked at it, it said that it was at a measly 43% capacity but now it clearly reads it was fully charged 100% and that I should unplug to preserve the battery.

How does one unplug a laptop when it is already unplugged from a wall outlet?

Is there something in the air? Is this realm one massive wall outlet?

Am I god?

Nah, if I was god than I would have made a chili-dog dispenser appear right before me but sadly none appeared and it only mad me hungrier than I already am at this very moment.

Turning off my lap top for the time being I placed it back into my backpack before looking around and although I was tempted to steal some of this treasure, I didn't. It is easier to explain my backpack with its original contents than to explain where the extra gold, gems and other shit that I would have shoveled into my pockets.

Taking only my backpack I quickly left the vault, I don't know if it is rigged some kind of sensor or alarm but if I stay here any longer than necessary I might be put on a chopping block or just be thrown into the abyss-like cliff that I crawled into to get the idol. Leaving the vault behind I found that the coldness that was the hallway was gone and the ice and sleet that used to adorn the walls and floor was gone.

Was it my imagination or was it something else? A ghost perhaps?

Scratching my head at the mystery that is the now warm tunnel hall that I find myself in I just chalked it up to just my mind running wild when I am bored and left it at that, I got my backpack and now I just had to get the food, the idol, find an entrance to the surface than solidify the plan.

Turns out from where I was located at the time was deep in the earth, apparently this alpha thought it out pretty well to hide his treasure from any would be intruders and seeing how this thing was deep in the bowels of the planet I can say that if an earthquake happens...

Well let us just say that the treasure would be gone for good! A big ol' middle finger to the owners if that happens.

When I got back to my room I found that my dog buddy was gone but was only to be replaced by a burlap sack sitting on my table, right next to the other sack of gold coins. I wonder how rich I am now? Am I rich enough to buy my own home and retire till my ass dies from old age or is it just enough to get a house and work for a few years.

Putting my backpack underneath the desk and moving my gold out of sight I went back to working on my plan by leaving the room and hunting down what needs to be done.

Pondering on how I am going to pull off this heist and prison break I found myself walk into what appears to be a child's room, than I looked around and saw that it was Thane's room and I saw him sitting in the middle of the room playing with what looks like a non-denominational spinney top as his mother was there behind him, her eyes reading a book while her two assistances were playing with the young cub.

How did I not notice this room?

"I see that the tutor is dedicated to his job, good. Come here and sit down beside me, we have things to discuss." the mother said as she waved me over, I guess she wanted to have a few words with me, hopefully not the words 'You are fired!' cause if those are the words than I am going to cunt punt her.

Taking her desire to talk to heart I walked over to the diamond dog mother and sat down beside her, my eyes were looking at Thane as he spun the top with obvious glee on his face.

"So ma'am, you have something to discuss with me?"

"Yes, I am wondering how far along my son is with his education on the surface teachings."

"Well he is coming along quite nicely, for only spending a few days with him he is already learning his alphabet with some trouble but he is learning far faster than those on the top. With your diamond dog's photographic memory coming into play I can teach him the more advanced things at a much earlier time but in the meanwhile I will keep him on the language arts to help him speak in full sentences and with correct punctuation."

"Hmm...and has he been misbehaving?"

"No, he does get distracted rather easily but with a few taps on the training material that I leave in front of him it breaks him out of it."

"Good, now then comes the promises of payments." And that was when things started to get weird.

And by weird I mean that she pulled out a blanket and covered it around the both of us before hugging me and bringing my face into her chest just above her breasts. Even though she was wearing what akin to an extended leather vest that leaves not much to the imagination.

"I know that you are being paid in pony gold but I have something else to offer you. You may be the runt of the pack here but I can tell that you are far more intelligent than the rest of these mutts here. I will give you full breeding rights, we need more intelligent dogs here and with you here we can finally expand our caves and do it in a more efficient manner." The mother says as she traces a paw down my chest slowly, I can hear my own heart beating as my body reacts to what is going on and to the scent that is just coming off her body in boiling waves.

Shaking in the blanket the mother than stepped it up a notch by rubbing herself against me, I do not know how this could get any worse but with what she is doing right here, right now...it really did just get worse as her scent started to claw its way up my nose and soaked itself into my clothes.

To make it from worst to holy shit she started to hump me rather vigorously all the while whispering leaning next to my ear, gave it a long slow lick before whispering to me.

"And if you don't want that than I am more than willing to have you all to myself...maybe even let you enjoy my wet nurses. Would you like that little runt?"

My mind weighed the options laid out before me.

On one hand I can get laid by the sex dog girls...but on the other hand they are dog girls, not human, and I don't know if any of them have any kind of transferable disease...but than again we are completely different species...I wonder what Captain Kirk would do...

Oh right, he would fuck it like he did with that one Borg chick or all those other aliens in those movies he is in. What a manwhore.

But than again this is someone's wife, if I dare commit adultery with her than I run the risk of death, and I don't want to die just yet.

IF we can get away with it though...am I really that desperate for sex that I would sleep with another man's wife?

Shaking my head from the alluring scent I gently pushed the mother back but by then it was already over, she pulled herself away from me and gave me a sly smile before leaving the blanket bundle and I knew that if the alpha was to enter this room, and catch a whiff of me, I am a dead man.

The bitch just marked me...

Kill me now god please, she just made my plan to escape several times harder now.

With what has just happened is all said and done she wished me luck on my decision to accept her offer as she laughed at my tomato-red face and raging hard on. I hate my life right now but there is no way in hell this can get any worse than it already is. I have to get out of this place and get out in one piece, I just know that I can do this.

I immediately left the room and went looking for the food room, if the griffons and myself are to survive out there than we will need meat, and seeing how these dogs solely survive off of meat than the only logical conclusion is that I would need to make a deal with the butcher, I just hope the guy accepts the gold that I have been given by the alpha.

Soon after leaving Thane's room I found myself in front of what looks like the kitchen for the diamond dogs and I must say its...it looks like something out of a horror movie. It looked like a butcher shop but without any safety regulations, blood stains all over the floor and walls, meat hanging on what might be rusty hooks from the ceiling, and with a female diamond dog acting as the head butcher as her pups worked with her.

When I entered the bloody kitchen the head bitch holding a very sharp looking cleaver slams the blade down, cutting what looks like a hunk of meat with a bone inside of it cleanly in half, showing how strong she is and how effective she is with the cutting blade.

She turned her head and looked up at me when she heard me walk in and for a moment I tensed up in the event she decided to throw that cleaver at me but instead she slammed the blade back down into the hunk of meat she was working on and cleaned her hands of blood with a rust colored rag.

"What'chu want mutt? Can't you see I'm busy?" The female butcher said with a gruff tone, my guess is that all diamond dogs have that kind of tone, just in different variations with undertones as well to tell the genders apart. I must say for a diamond dog that is build like a brick house and stands roughly six and a half feet tall, if she were human she might be one of those body-builder types that doesn't take shit from anyone.

Staring at the heavyset dog woman I hesitated for the briefest of moments before dry swallowing my fear and made my demand heard.

"You's want food so you can go up top?"

"Yes."

"Sorry runt, but I ain't givin any of this away not unless you do me a favor."

"And what is this favor?"

"Depends, how good are you with that tongue of yours?" The female butcher said with a large grin on her muzzle just as my face flushed red, my body reacting to what was pretty much a request from a girl to give her a good time and well...what can I say but my body is being honest although my mind on the other hand is conflicting with said request.

"I...uhh..." I stuttered as my face burned red and as I backed up into a wall, I couldn't believe that just happened.

With my body locking up in fear and arousal, but mostly fear I watched as the heavyset female slam her knife down into the cutting board before tossing the bloody rag aside as she strutted toward me, a pep in her step and her body now on display as she tossed aside her bloody apron.

"So runt..." the butcher dog said as she strutted up to me and pressed her body against mine, pressing me into the wall as she looks down from her height to look me in the eyes as she smirks widely. "...you think you are big enough to handle all this?" And she emphasized the word 'this' by grabbing me by the head and pretty much smashed it into her breasts.

I was in marshmallow hell, it smelled of sweat, old blood and wet dog and I know that if I don't do this than I won't get the necessary food that I will need to feed both myself and those that are going to be traveling with me back to Griffonstone.

Looks like I am taking a bullet for the team...I sure hope this girl cleaned herself up or else I will be in for one horrible ride...

"You call me Rosha, now...earn your meal."

One Hour Later
Smut for this later...or whenever I feel like it.

I am utterly ashamed of myself, I mean really I am ashamed of myself. I never thought the day would ever come that I would have to whore myself out just to get something.

Now I know what those prostitutes feel whenever they have to spread their legs to feed their family...

Staggering out from the meat room I took a glance back and for a moment I thought I was in the clear until I felt a large hand grab me by the back of the head and turned me around until I felt a pair of lips mash into my own. I don't know what is worse, the fact that I am kissing a dog or the fact that I still have her...remnants in my mouth and she is kissing me.

Either way the butcher dog gave me a wink and a slap on the ass before saying that she will have my meat stripes ready for when I am going up to the surface. I am not sure if it was worth the mental trauma I just went through but if it means getting out of here with everyone alive than I can say that it is worth it.

I will have to drink myself stupid to get rid of the memory but I can say that it is worth it in the end.

Assuming we get out of here alive and in one piece.

Rubbing my face on my shirt to hopefully get rid of any smell or residue that was left on my face and hoped that no one would notice but unfortunately that isn't the case.

Everywhere I walked the diamond dogs that were male were either patting me on the back for getting laid, patting me on the back for surviving a sexual encounter with the butcher, a few even gave me looks of pity because they probably know what I just had to go through. And as for the female diamond dogs, they were either giggling at me, asking me if I had room for one more, or were asking on who the lucky bitch was.

Is it bad that I am both proud and ashamed of what I did?

Ignoring the feeling of shame that is building up in my gut I went back to what I was doing and checked off getting food rations for the great escape, next was getting the idol back.

Turns out the idol was still in the alpha's room. How did I know? Well when I was walking by I slowed down so I could try and scan the room, and when I was walking through it I saw that there was no guards outside of his door and when I poked my head into the room I saw that he wasn't in there and sitting behind a bunch of gold coins was the idol.

Sneaking into the room and as quickly and as quietly as I can I swiped the idol and seeing how the damn thing was pretty hard to hide I did what any man would do in a situation like this.

I shoved the fucking thing in my pants.

Totally discreet.

With idol in hand, food waiting to be picked up, prisoners ready to escape, now I just need to find a way out of here.

What can possibly go wrong?

DON'T JUDGE ME!
