Thats why she probably wont try it unless shes confident it would work. She suspects it would be the same as a wild wolf, which are usually as aggressive as the dogs appeared to be.

It would be very similar, yes.

Just bigger. And shed need a rope, which she has no idea how shed get here. Plus a whole bunch of meat, because thats what makes the animal trust her. So its probably not possible unless she somehow manages to steal stuff from one of the officials, which shes not willing to do.

So it was basically impossible.

Without help, yes. Which she doubts she would get, because shes just an uninteresting silent midget and nobody knows she can tame wild animals.

For the next few minutes chaos reigned in Furnace. One long blast rang out from the siren. The sound seemed to activate the machine guns lined up along the walls. They spun out toward the crowd of panicking inmates, their slick, smooth movements reminding Victoria of some crazy, homicidal robot on the rampage.

The deafening wail of the siren had the effect of a fuel injection on everybody in the giant room. It was like somebody had hit the fast-forward button, making the inmates move at a ridiculous speed. Most were running for the stairs, their fear palpable as they pushed each other out of the way. Even Jack was jogging across the yard, his usually calm expression twisted into a mask of apprehension. He shouted something, but it was lost in the noise of the stampede and the unending scream of the siren.

Shes a bit startled, but simply goes to her cell. Its just a half minute away, quarter of she runs.

Like the aftermath of a tsunami, the flood had died to a trickle by the time Jack reached the sixth level, buoying them into his cell only seconds before the siren cut out. The absence of sound was almost as disturbing as the noise itself. The prison had been plunged into a gulf of silence broken only by the occasional sob. But it didnt last. With a noise a little like the one a roller coaster makes as its being pulled up a slope the cell doors began to slide shut, a thousand gates sealing with a boom that made the very stone tremble.

(We might have to rearrange the cellmates)

Rhia edges over to Elzay, and gives her an inquiring look.
