Scraps

The nod of finality he gave confused her, but she didn't have the strength or gumption to question him. With out the slave masters here to sell her she supposed he was just picking up their scraps, taking her for himself since she was free for the taking. His paw on her ankle where the chains had worn into her made her tense - both because of the simple fact that he was touching her and because of the sharp pain the slight movement of the chain caused. There were places where the chain had begun to embed into her skin and the tug against those places was agonizing. She watched as he turned toward the stake that was buried in the ground that had kept her here all this time, seemingly preparing to pull it free. He confirmed this by telling her to brace herself.
She grit her teeth as he heaved and yanked the stake from the ground, the shaking and jostling of her chains enough to make a heavy wave of pain settle over her. She refused to scream, though she wasn't certain she'd be able to even if she tried. Her vision swam and she nearly blacked out by the time he was done, but eventually she was free, the chains now dangling uselessly from her thin frame. She was breathing heavily as she brought her eyes weakly up to his again, listening to his voice that seemed distant as he told her how she wouldn't be able to walk the distance they needed to go and that he would carry her. She gave him a small nod, quietly deciding that there was no use fighting it. She wasn't sure she could stand much less walk and he clearly wasn't going to leave without her now so she put her energy into not passing out as she was swept away to where ever he might be taking her.
