The 4 or so foot mostly feral female otter put on her vocalizer collar & then got in the large wheeled pet carrier & closed the door & locked herself in with some difficulty. Soon her brother William entered the house & said pleased "Good you ready to go." "I hate this." The otter vocalized through the collar. William told her "Shut up " angry as he wheeled the carrier out of the house. William took the carrier outside & put it in the back seat of his van. William then got in & they were off. The otter stated with a groan putting her head on her front paws "This is humiliating." Angry William told the otter "Take that fucking collar off or I'll dart you & do it myself. I told you a million times not wear that when you around me " The otter groaned & removed her collar. She let out an otter sound & William now pleased said "Good. Now you are a proper otter." The otter placed it down to her left. The otter hated being in the pet carrier of course; but William refused to take her anywhere if she wasn't in it. Now William hated the otter (his sister); even her parents hated her. William only got the otter into that Animal Helper Program so he didn't have to do anything for her. And knew the ultimate goal of the program. As William drove up on the local forest he made a decision. He looked back to see the otter asleep in the carrier. William pulled over to the side of the road & turned off the van. He got out & walked around to the side & opened the door. He got in & went over to the carrier. He pulled out his pistol loaded with tranquilizer darts & put the barrel through the door grate & darted the otter.
Minutes later...
William was carrying the unconscious otter through the forest. He stopped figuring it was far enough into the forest & placed the otter down on the grass. William then walked away leaving the otter there thinking [That solves that. She will be a wild animal whether she wants to or not.] He knew the forest was huge. The otter (at least he believed) would never find her way out of it.
Hours later....
The otter woke up with a bit of grogginess. The otter got to her feet & looked around confused to see was outside in the forest. The otter went to talk to ask confused but only heard otter sounds come out of her. She reached up a paw to her neck to find nothing there; no collar. Clearly confused as to how she got in this forest & unsure what to do. Then the otter smelled familiar to her. She looked & spotted what looked like a large lake. The otter began to quickly head for the lake. The otter wanted fish; she actually is hungry.
Does the otter escape the forest going back to civilization? Does the otter even try? Does she even want to?
