The Prince's Dog #2

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the men had surrendered. 
Their fallen weapons littered the ground and they were being herded into a group by the Asgardians. Lightheaded and with my chest aching, I stumbled to my paws. 
"You won't take me alive!" I growled softly as I tried to slip out of there quietly, but I was still dizzy and unable to walk silently. 
One of the Asgardian warriors noticed me.
"Hey, you! Stop where you are!" he shouted. 
I bared my teeth and kept going. 
Another blocked my path and pointed a strange gun-like weapon at me.
" That thing attacked Thor. It must be some sort of trained war dog. Just kill it." he said. 
"That 'thing' is not a dog." I snarled, then I turned into a girl again. 
The look of surprise on the Asgardians' faces was shocking. 
As warriors, I wouldn't think that a little shape shifting would be anything new. 
Of course, I had never seen anyone like myself, but I could not be the only one, could I? 
With the strange weapon still pointed at my back, I was forced to join the other prisoners. 
There was at least twenty of us. Those who noticed me looked at me with contempt. 
I was not well liked on that planet, nor any other planet for that matter. 
And I was sure that, at the chance, anyone of them would kill me. 
I kept my eyes fixed downward and avoided their gaze. 
Then we were transported to Asgard. It was very strange. 
One moment I was standing on soiled ground, the next I was flying through the air, faster then I ever thought possible. I had never experienced anything like it before. 
When we landed, the Gatekeeper looked at us with strange eyes. I glared right back. 
We were pushed and shoved every time we slowed down or got out of line as we were led across the Rainbow Bridge. 
I could see how the bridge got it's name. It was beautiful. The many colors sparkled under our feet and I almost ran into the man in front of me as I looked down. But, of course, I had no time to enjoy it. After we crossed the bridge, we were taken through the golden city of Asguard and then down to the dungeon.
