It was late in the day at the sanctuary, most bats were roosting and hoping the next day would bring something promising... but some had been locked up here for months.

Hannah had been here all her life, which wasn’t that long considering how young she was. Bats had come and go but she was waiting for one to come back. Being a biter the humans had set her in her own tiny pen to keep her from getting at the others.

Her trust had greatly dwindled after her mother had been taken by them.

So now she sat gnawing at her band in hopes it might come off, though so far it just hurt her teeth if she tried for too long.

Sometimes bats were kept for research and other times they were kept on display or in shelters. In this particular places many bats had been brought here when wounded or separated from their colony to be cared for... least that’s how humans saw it.

For one little bat this was all she had known, brought into the sanctuary as a newborn the teeny bat did not recall what stars looked like, what wind felt like or what the trees even felt like.

Due to her... bitey tendencies the humans handled her with gloves, humans scared her with their size so she was often kept in her little mesh cage. A few bones were also in her cage from small mice, chicken legs and various other meats. Another good reason to keep her from the other bats was her carnivorous nature.
