Ambervoke walked boldly into Zeus' turf, he would demand respect on the account that he was with Bridget, and she had his puppy. This is the place, now we just gotta find them... he looked around and sniffed the ground. He found a tail and followed it. It led to an emty clearing with a truck in it. He thought he saw movement from inside and froze.
Baklava jumped out of the truck, he heard the intruders even before his mom and siblings. Who are you, you don't live here go away! he barked. Derringer, come help me fight them off you too Neb, and Nokomis. He looked over his shoulder.
Desiree opened her eyes as she heard Baklava barking. She sat up and jumped out of the truck quickly. Baklava, get to me now she barked. He obeyed before Desiree saw who it was. Horror struck her face. AMBERVOKE!! YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE, AND YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT!!! Ha! Where's Harley, you got yourself a new mate then? She grinned at the prospect of it. Then she saw what the female was carrying...BALTHAZAR!! she ran towards him Balthazar, babby, oh dear, are you ok? her voice cracked with consern. Zeus, hurry back! she barked and looked around, Zeus had gone to renew his scent markers.
Ambervoke looked at Bridget, told ya I knew where they lived.

((Okay I'm gonna purposefully powerplay a tiny bit just for a moment as this is the important plot twist. Hope you don't mind guys...))
Zeus, who had been exploring the terra a bit was just rounding a nearby corner when he heard the barking and screams and shouts. With infinite fear pounding away at his heartstrings, like the night his son was taken, the chow bolted forward as fast as his powerful legs could carry him. With a mighty leap, he cleared an old couch blocking his path. He landed swiftly beside his mate, trotting forward a bit to put himself between his family and the intruders. A very cold, very stern look was placed upon his features as dark optics stared at the pit bull male but a familiar scent drew his attention behind him.
Across the street from the yard, a doberman fae stood, looking out across the street at them. In her mouth was a very familiar ball of black and white fuzz. He was dirty and wet but there was no mistaking it. The chow's face moved to look somewhere between shock, fear and anger.
"Balthazar!"
Balthazar, whom was still clutched in the teeth of the doberman, ventured to open his eyes at the call of his name. Not so much his father's call but his mother's. When he saw her however, his eyes lit up fit to blind any spectators and a smile spread across his face so wide, it practically curled behind his floppy hound-like ears.
"Mommy!"
Without even a second thought, something he probably should've given, the pup wriggled free of the doberman's grasp, landing clumsily to the ground and immediately darting across the busy street. There weren't many cars out at the moment but, wouldn't you know it, the one car that was out was not paying attention. There was a squeal of tires, a little veering, a yelp and a very light set of thuds as the pup rolled to a stop on the sidewalk...

"NOOOOO" Bridget yelled as she tried to get to the pup. But it seemed as if time stood still, and her legs were locked. She watched in horror as the pup laid on its side, and didnt make a movement.
She dashed to the pups side. When she came to a stop the pup was just lying on his side. It was like a flash back, as if she had never helped the pup, and he was still in the junkyard, cold, alone, and afraid.
Bridget bent down to nudge the pup, he just barly moved. Bridget kept on muttering under her breath "Please oh please oh please be ok. Please I need you to be ok. If your not ok I blame myself. Oh God what have I done?" She continued to say the same thing over and over. She wailed out, for she belived this pup to be dead. She laid down and said to the pup "If you can hear me, nod your head, make a noise. Just give me a sign that your ok"
------------------------------------------------
About that time Harley came rushing to the scene of the crime. "BRIDGET. what have you done?" she shreiked out. She went and stood beside Ambervoke and burred her face in his shoulder and said "What happend?"
----------------------------------
Bridget lifted up her head and said "I didnt do anything. I was holding him one minute. Then he saw his parents. The the next minute ... The next minute This happend" Bridget lowerd her head, for she new she was to blame for all of this.

Spearmint came in carrying a pup in her mouth in a ran over the pup laughing as his mom carried him he swung in the wind. She put him down" Now stay here I dont want you to see this." She said and sighed. She ran over "what happened?" She asked and looked at the pup that seemed to be dead.
Thyme came running with a pup in his mouth as well he pup it by the other puppy and ran over to be beside his mother. "What happened?" He repeated.
Rosemary came a pup in her mouth also she out it down and ran over to the group and looked at her sister. "Sis" she said softley. "What happened?" |

Bridget looked to her sister, with sorrow filling in her eyes she then said in a almost crying voice "Its not as if you care. You guys hate me anyways. Just leave me here to die. I deserve it, after what I've caused this pup to go through." She then looked away and placed her head on the pups side. She then began to feel tears dripping down her face, before long her face was covered in salty water. She hadnt known this pup for long, but it seemed as if she had known him her whole life. It was as if they had so much in common. Even though this pup was stollen from his parents, and Bridget left hers by her own will, they both had bad connections with there family. Bridget then said in a whispering voice that only she could barley hear "I guess thats why I wanted to help this pup so much. I wanted to see him get re-connected with his family. For I never will"

Zeus didn't care about all these strangers, the fact that they were invading his terra boundaries, that they seemed to have their own problems that needed resolving. The chow didn't give a hoot about none of that. They were surrounding his currently helpless puppy, the one he'd been searching for for a good three months at this point. now, he lay on the street, cold and motionless and the chow was simply unsure how to react to it all. His life and soul was protecting his blood, his family, his pups especially. Every time something particularly ailed them, he wanted to help, he needed to help them through it. Failure was not an option when he did anything, yet here he stood, his son hurt or worse. He had done nothing. He had promised them that night they born that he'd do anything and everything to ensure their safety. He'd failed...
He had failed him once but not again. Growling low in his throat and paying the pit bull in front of him absolutely no attention, the chow charged forward, paying no attention to any other traffic that might've been on that road. There wasn't any but if there had been, he would've been out on the asphalt. With his ears flat against his skull and dark optics focused angrily on the circle forming in the center of the street, Zeus positioned himself over his fallen offspring, snarling viscously, and quite mindlessly one might add, at the others.
"Get away from him! All of you!"
His voice was a growl in itself, a sounding threat. He would gladly die for his children and this time was no exception...

Bridget lifted her head at the chow charged at her she didnt move for she wanted to be sure that this pup was going to be alright. She looked to the chow dead in the eyes, with her tear stained cheeks just getting worse she said "I was only trying to help him, and look - look how this ended" She never did stand up for she had no strengh to. She looked from the chow, for she was ashamed. She then looked back to the pup. who she had claimed in her mind to be dead ... or was he?

Desiree saw her son get hit and threw herslef out into the road, Bathazar! she yelled then cought a white blur out of the corner of her eye. Zeus get back here, oh you stupid bull! Do you want to get hit? Get back here! her voice was filled with scorn and worried ness as she called out. I know you didn't do it, Bridget. she smiled, then her jaws gaped in awe, he was breathing! ZEUS, HE'S ALIVE, HE'S BREATHING SEE
Ambervoke nuzzled Harley back. Stay away from her! he jumped infront of her as Zeus came near, fire burned in Zeus' eyes as he greived for his son. Harley what's going on? Why do we always lose someone on our journies? Why... he was staring at Harley and gave her a lick of comfort.
Baklava flinched as he heard a small crunch when his brother ran into the streets. no! no! he told himself.
Neb and Nokomis came just in time to see their dad run into the road, and they saw a puppy laying at the side of the road. What had happened?

Harley was confused with all of this. Was she a bad luck charm? Did she need to go away and keep the rest from suffering? No! She told herself, if you leave Ambervoke again, He might not survie this time. His life might end as quick as this little pups had. She shook her head and hung it low. She was in a no win situation at the moment. For if she left, Ambervoke would be heart broken. If she stayed, how many more dogs would be harmed in the making? ...
----------------------------------------
Bridget watched as Desiree went crazy. She also heard her say that she new it wasnt Bridgets fault. But yet Bridget still didnt belive her. For in Bridgets mind, she new that if she had only clamped down alittle harder the pup would still be in her mouth to this minute. Bridget sunk her head lower than low. For she was scared, she was scared for her own life, for she thought the Chow infront of her would kill her on the spot, and she was scared for this pup, would he make it? Were Desiree's words true about him breathing ? ...

Still growling, the chow barely heard his mate's words, depite the fact that she prectically screamed them in his ear. These strange canines better think twice before messing around with anyone related to him. his flesh and his blood were more prescious than anything and though he could never have stopped the event from happening... well, not at present anyway, he sure as hell could keep it from getting any worse. A dog he could stop, a car he could not. They weighed like a million billion tons and travelled so fast it made his head spin. they were violent and- Breathing?! Moments after his mate had said it, the expression on Zeus' face went from mindnumbingly pissed to 'Wha?'. Dropping his gaze from the others to the delicate form beneath him, the chow was surprised to see the little white chest rise and fall. Not only that, but a soft cough only confirmed the other's suspicions. He was alive!
Continuing to pretty much ignore the others, Zeus nudged his pup gently with his snout, careful not to actually move the pup for fear of more serious injury. He had been foolish again that day, so focussed on the others and ignoring the fact that his son was probably dying right beneath him after being gone for months. He was so dense! No wonder Derringer was so reckless... Sighing softly, the chow dared not to look up, he couldn't bare to...
"Sorry. Guess I lost myself..."

Desiree put her nose to Zeus' to comfort him. Don't mind the others, I know them, they're my old friends. They only wanted to get Bathazar back before he died. she looked around. All the faced were filled with sorrow and confusion.
Ambervoke told Harley it would be ok. He looked at her and how sad she was. M'love, Harley, are you ok, do you want to go home? he was worried that she would start blaming herself or getting mad a Bridget.
All the puppies ran out to their mom. Their faces filled with pure terror and shock. Will he...wil he be all right, mom asked Nebula.

Harley said noting to Ambervoke. She was to confused with all of this. First a Family afair occured. Now new born pups. Then a pup dies. Now another Situation. Could this day get any worse? "Im sure it can" Harley said from under her breath.
----------------------------
Bridget didnt know what to do. Should she listen to her heart and stay where she was or should she listen to Zues and move? She desided to listen to Zeus. She stood up and backed away some. She was tempted to run, run and never look back to what she had caused. She had caused to familys pain and suffering today. She caused her family to lose her, for the fight she had gotten in. And now this family. Now she had caused this family to lose a pup ...
But wait "He is breathing" Bridget said as she looked closer to the pup, she shreiked "He's alive" but yet she didnt move, it felt as if once again her legs were tied to ground. As if she new she shouldnt go near the pup again. She new the parents should be with the pup. Not a strange dog, the pup barely new, and had just met that day.
----------------------------------------------
Black Jack was the last to arrive to this mess. Once again his fat body mass held him behind. And in this case, caused him to get way behind. As he appeard dogs had different expressions for some were happy, some were teary eyed, while others looked just to darn confused to have a sad or happy look. Black Jack paced over to Thyme and said "Where is your Mother?" but then he looked up and saw her.
Black Jack padded over to her and said "Whats happening?" Black Jack felt so stupid. I mean it was clear to him what was going on. It appeard as if a dog had gotten hit. "Poor little fellow" Black Jack said as he looked in the direction of the pup ...

Spearmint just looked all around wondering what had happened. “Bridget nobody hates you” She whispered softly to her daughter when just after she had said that she felt a huge mass of brute come flying into her. She yelped and fell to the ground her head hit the cement but she was alive and still breathing. Her ribs hurt when she took a breath.
Everything she could hear everything but not see it for she was in to much pain to open her eyes it hurt her to even breath at times. She sighed then stopped midair because of the pain that it caused her she could not talk or she could just barley maybe.
Spearmint could tell that Black Jack was near her and asked her something but she could not talk. She moved her head to look at him although she could not see him she yelped as she moved her head because it hurt and it hurt a lot. |

Black Jack's ears perked up as he heard his Minty's crys. He turned around to see her flat on the ground. He felt his legs give way and he was to on the ground. Black Jack never did to good around blood. He looked to his mate and said "Minty are you ok? Spearmint answer me!" He howled to the sun in pain. He then looked back to her, she barly moved he cried "Spearmint dont leave me, I cant stand to lose you again, for this time ... You ... You ... you wont come back" His last words were almost a whisper.
--------------------------------------
Bridget lifted her head up. How could this have happend? What is going on? Bridget had a problem that day, for when she needed her legs the most they would lock. They would lock and never give way ...
---------------------------------
Harley looked to the sky and said "Thank you. Thank you For making my day better! What do you have planned for me next? Huh. " She yelled to the sky at her last sentence. She then rushed to her sisters side, and said "Spearmint can you hear me? Dont leave us now. We need you here the most now. Spearmint dont leave us. Dont leave me"

Spearmint hear the cries of Black Jack. “I….immm…..nnnnottt…oookk..” She said through pain to her mate she lifted her head and put it on his paw no matter the pain that it caused her. She sighed and stopped again because it hurt, it hurt a lot.
“I…iii….will…cccome…bbaack” She said again and opened her eyes a bit but very slowly just to look at Black Jack. “Iiii llloovvvee you Bbblack Jjack!” She whispered and closed her eyes again. She listened to to the sounds of the tree’s swaying in the wind she was not going to die, no she would fight this till the end of time if she had to.
“Wwwhere’s Bridget?” She asked she did not see her when she opened her eyes. “annnddd Rosemary anndd Thyme?” She asked painfuly she hoped that her pups were alright.
Spearmint sighed but then held her breath and her head fell to the ground almost like she was dead like she was going to die. She stopped breathing and flayed there. |
