My body heat felt icy to the bone in my own, malice prison. The sounds of shrieking filled the air flow in the vents. The chains to my legs clinked in unison a beat of woe. The hearts of many cried out. I just sat there, waiting for a moment.
Footsteps suddenly filled the hallway. The owners of the sounds chuckled and bellowed words I alone could not understand. Prisoners of other cells pounded their fists onto the bars, but it only made them laugh with a more haughty tone.
My cell door slowly creaked open just as the thuds of feet ended. It felt like infinity passed before a face peered in. I turned my head away with a grimace.
The faces of the mongrels always caught me off guard; their scaly-pasted faces and eyes of bloodful red along with their wolfish features haunted the very corners of my mind.

"Mein reshguar." The first voice warningly uttered, the pathways in his throat obviously shaking.
Without mercy, a pain burned into my side, and I was out.

"Prisoner 8-97A." A robotic- feminine voice filled my mind. My eyes cracked open, but all I saw was rushes and blurs of green, blue, and white.
"You have been brought before us for rebellion against the Varion Empire. Your reasons, I know 'nought, but the crime alone sentences you.... to be dead."
My eyes cleared just enough to see a creature run up to a towering desk, and muttering something to a beautiful woman, but her face, expressionless.
"Are you certain?" It was her that spoke before.
The creature nodded.
"Very well." Her soulless eyes turned and shot daggers at me. "You are cleared of your charges."
I couldn't smile, for darkness had swiped me away, again, into unconsciousness.
Okay, now some of you may be wondering, so I'll fill you in;

I made this for my teacher one day, and she was reading, but her reply shocked me a whole lot:

------------------------

Basically, I had 40 minutes to write a story, so do not mind the awful writing and descriptiveness, but the story alone.

THE PROMPT FOR THIS WAS:

Surprise ending. Write one.
