himself..

“where am I?” Isha asked herself in a low voice.

“Hey Guys looks like we have a female amongst us, how long will she last?” A large bulldog in another cage said and laughed.

“What are you talking about? Where am I?” Isha asked seeing more and more dogs from the other cages looking at her.

“You are in hell, and the only way you’ll get out of here is in a coffin or as a champion” The bulldog said and the other dogs nodded in agreement. Suddenly the door was opened again and a man came in dragging a dog after him who seemed more dead than alive. Isha gasphed in horror, how could anyone treat a dog like that?

The dog was breathing heavily but didn’t do anything to escape the man‘s chain which hung around his neck. After being dragged harshly through the barn he was thrown into a cage in the corner, the man locked it before walking to another cage taking up a chain from his pocket and opening the door to place it around the neck of a red irish/english setter. He had a white mussel and his front feet were also white and the tip of his tail. He had a lot of scars over his body probably after fighting. But he didn’t fight back, he just followed the man quitley. The other dogs watched as they left the barn but soon there came another man into the room taking out a black border collie. The dog yelped and fought back like crazy but the man was stronger and was able to drag him out of the barn.

“Sadly he knew he was the next one to go” A golden German shepherd said to the bulldog in a deep voice.

“Yeah but no one want’s to believe it when they hear about it” The bulldog answered. Isha listened to their conversation carefully.

“what are you talking about, who knew?” She couldn’t help it, she had to know what was going on.

“Where exactly are we?” She asked as she looked towards the injured dogs cage.

“Isn’t it obvious girly! We are fighting dogs, most of us here have owners that need money and this is the only way they can think of to provide it. So they trained us, atleast most of us are trained” The bulldog gazed over at the injured dog then towards Isha.

“you mean...” Isha fell back in the cage her mouth open like she was preparing to call for help but she stopped herself.

“Sorry honey, but you don’t have much of a change here, No house pets ever does. And if you get in the ring with that guy.” He pointed towards the setters cage. “You will wish for death”

Isha gasphed and turned around not wanting to see the horrible things around her. How could this have happened? And why to her? Though she knew that she wanted to cry, she didn’t. It wouldn’t be very smart to seem even more weaker in a place like this.

A hour flew past and Isha had fallen asleep. The door was opened again and a man walked in holding a chain in his hand again. Isha turned around watching the man carefully. The man grinned and stopped in the middle of the barn. All the dogs watched him. Evil glares came from most of them but some of them were worried. The man started walking around the barn watching the dogs in the cages barking angrily around him. Trying to keep him away. But finally he stopped. Isha looked up and though she didn’t want to believe it she knew he was standing over her.

“Well, well the new dogs are always fun to watch.” He said and smiled showing that two of his teeth were missing. He opened the cage and took the chain up getting ready to place it around her neck. Isha yelped and cried but nothing seemed to work so she gave up. And followed the man slowly out with her head hung down. He closed the door behind them and started walking towards a large group of men standing on a field. Alot of shouting was coming from the group both cheering and angry shouting. Isha didn’t dare to look up. The thought of end nearing scared her and a chill went down her spine. She slowly closed her eyes and a tear slipped down her cheek. The man was now taking her through the crowde, people were pointing and laughing not believe she had much change in there. Isha tried to ignore all the noise and thought back to her home in Nome, Her mom and dad, Alice and the baby, her brothers and sisters. Suddenly she was lifted up and thrown in a large cage with the same red brownish dog from before. A loud gun shoot was heard probably meaning the fight was starting and all the people started to shout again. Isha was really confused the noise made her angry and she started to bark and growl angrily at all the people around her. Suddenly from the corner of her eye she relished the other dog was watching her. Well she was not going to give up without a fight. She turned around to face him and growled angrily showing her white fangs. The other dog seemed a bit surprised of her change of mind, but it faded away quickly with a growl. Isha could see some of the scars from previous fights were bleeding on him, he was rather skinny compared to most dogs and she felt sorry for him, but sorry wasn’t going to help her. The dog came running towards her and Isha got ready for the blow. The dogs claw hit her chin so it started to bleed. Isha hit the ground surprised how quickly it had happen. Isha hurried back up on her feet. Something boild inside her, why was this dog allowed to steal from her what she had? With a loud growl she ran at him. Her smallish figure was helpful so she ran under him and bit him in the rips. The dog was furious he stepped back hitting her angrily and throwing her off into the cage. Isha stood up and shock her head, but he was already there and bit her scruff throwing her into the middle of the cage.  Isha could hear his footsteps coming towards her. She closed her eyes not wanting to see how it would end, tears started to stream from her eyes, she didn’t see a reason to hide them anymore. The other dog stood above her, he was breathing heavily, it seemed he was tired from the fights. Minutes went past but everything seemed still, the shouting turned into whispering and people seemed to be angry. Isha forced herself to open her eyes. The thing she saw shocked her, The other dog just stood above her looking down on her. His eyes didn’t show hunger for victory or anger, they seemed sad and sorry. The time stood still for quite sometime, no one seemed to know what to do. Suddenly a rock flew through the air and hit the small space between Isha and the other dog. The both look towards the crowed and more and more people were picking up stones. The dog started to growl at the crowde angrily and stepped infront of Isha. Isha was surprised by his actions “He’s helping me?” She thought surprised and watched how people started to throw rocks at them.

“STOP!” A man shouted and entered the cage trying to stop the people from throwing.

“I’ll deal with these two.” He said and two other men came in with chains. “Bring out two other dogs!” He shouted to a man standing in the crowed who quickly disappear.

The brown dog looked towards the open cage door. His expression changed into a slight smile. He looked back at Isha and pointed towards it “when I say run, you run!” It wasn’t a request he was telling her what to do. Isha didn’t know what to think anymore few minutes before he had tried to kill her.

“RUN!” The brown dog sprint of towards the door and Isha who had just been lost in the thought shock her head quickly and followed as fast as she could. The people were still shouting at the man who had stopped the fight so when they had gotten through the door they first realised what had happen.

“Get those dogs.” A man shouted and everyone tried to jump at them. The other dog just bit and growled angrily making people take a step back.

“They have probably seen him fight badly” Isha thought and a small grin came across her face as she joined him in growling at the people. A man came with chains and they tried to throw them around their necks but it didn’t seem to work. Before anyone knew they had both sprinted off towards a wood near by.

“SHIT! We can’t let anyone find them, if anyone does they will maybe know about this place” one of the man said worried scratching his head.

“It’s okay they won’t last for more than two days. She is a pet and Aidan is a fighting dog that hasn’t eaten in few days.” 

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

Isha kept running. She didn’t dare looking back, but she knew from the hard breathing that the other dog was a bit behind her. They were nearing the wood and Isha wasn’t going to stop until she had gotten inside it.

Finally coming into the wood Isha heard a branch break behind her she looked quickly behind herself though she knew it was the other dog she wanted to make sure he was okay. But before being able to avoid it the other dog came chrasing into her making them roll down a small hill.

Isha shook her head fustraited over all the things she had to go through and now this dog who’s name she didn’t know was lying on top of her.

The dog noticed Isha’s expression and stood up quickly. embarrassed he looked away. He wasn’t used to being so close to a female. He had been fighting all his life, probably killed someone accidentally but now he had finally escape with a gorgeous female. He shook the last
