"No!"
Rex rushed over to him,"Shh! Shh! Be quiet. Do you know them?" Lucky looked at him, tears brimming his eyes. "They're mine."
Rex bowed his head,"I'm so sorry, Lucky. But, we still need a mother for them."
Lucky nodded,"I'll have one by the end of the week."
Rex nodded and left Lucky in the alley. He had to witness a killing. No matter how terrible it was, he needed to know what Danny was doing to these dogs.
He watched from the window of the boiler room. Dog after dog came and bowed to him. Finally, one big Doberman refused.
"I won't bow down to you."
"So you wish to die?"
"If I must, you stupid coward."
"As you wish. Trevor!"
Rex's heart jumped. Trevor was killing. He was killing them. Of course, Rex already knew, but getting reminded of it hurt. But at least no one found out HE was the one who stole the pups.
Trevor trotted out from the back of the room. The strays and pets alike crowded in the room barked and spat on him as he walked by. Trevor lashed out at a male the hit him, nearly killing him with a swipe and the throat.
"Trevor..." Rex whispered in disbelief.
Trevor stared at the Doberman. Those soft blue eyes now hard. "Sorry 'bout this."
It was almost too terrible to watch. After seeing Trevor grip the other dogs throat and begin to tear and shake his head, Rex turned away. He has sadly and gruesomely answered his question.
Rex trotted aimlessly around town. All he wanted was to lay by Rachel, to nuzzle her. To lick her soft brown face. But he couldn't leave town until it was time to fetch the pups.
"Rex!"
Rex spun around, expecting to see Lucky or Trevor. Instead, it was...
Jack?!
"Jack! What- what are you doing here?!"
Jack gripped Rex by his scruff and dragged him into an alley. "Ouch! Jack, leggo of me!" Jack dropped him.
"Listen, Rex, those pups are driving me crazy. And there's more! Oh you idiot!"
Jack smacked Rex in the face. "Hey! Stop!"
Jack snarled,"YOU IDOIT! Because of you, those stupid thugs of town dogs came! Rachel hid the pups. Oh you idot, they took her away, accusing her of stealing them. They are going to kill her tonight. OH YOU IDIOT!"
Rex shook his head in disbelief. Rachel? Getting blamed? For HIS crime? Oh no.
Rex whined,"Jack, I'm so sorry. But we have to help her." Jack snorted,"NO KIDDING! Why do you think I came here? To tell you what happened and then go buy some candy?"
Rex chuckled. Jack buying candy. Ha.
"This is serious, Rex, pay attention. I love Rachel, and if she dies, I'm turning you in to Danny. I know about you. I heard you talking to Rachel when you dropped those stupid brats off."
Rex nodded,"OK, OK, lets go."
~
Rex and Jack peered in through the doorway. Jack nodded right next to Danny, whispering,"There she is."
Rex was surprised he hadn't noticed her from earlier that day.
"OK Jack, here's the plan."
A lean black dog walked into the boiler room. His hard icy blue eyes sparked with rage. Danny snarled,"WHO are YOU?"
The male growled,"The name's Nick. Just moved here. Everyone keeps telling me to come here and... 'Bow to the almighty Danny' or somethin'."
Nick bowed and Danny nodded.
Nick trotted off and sat in the front row, watching Danny's every move. "Behold, my followers!"
Danny smiled and one guards, a chubby grey malamute, shoved Rachel infront of them all. She snarled angrily,"How dare you put your dirty paws on me!"
Danny barked,"Shut your trap!"
He smiled, standing up and looking upon his crowd. "This is the dog that stole the puppies. You all know her punishment!"
"DEATH!"
"Yes, death! Very good, you're all catching on!" Danny smirked, walking around her in circles. "Normally, I'd have my asassin do it, but he is no where to be found."
Rachel snapped at him as Danny stepped too close for her comfort.
Danny smirked,"I shall be killing her today."
"Hold on a minute there, Danny, I gotta question."
Danny spun around. There was Nick, his hard blue eyes filled with wonder and- something else Danny couldn't quite figure out.
"Why are YOU killing her? I mean, can't one of your guards do it? I mean, no need for you to get all bloody!"
Danny smiled and nodded,"Say, you're right! I like you, Nick. How's about you do it for me?"
Rex continued staring from the door, his heart racing faster and faster.
"Well, sure! Love to, ol' pal! Anythin' fer the leader 'n whatnot."
Nick approached Rachel. The two stared into each other's eyes from a while, and suddenly Rachel gasped quietly.
Nick circled her such as Danny had done. "No no, Dan my man, this ain't gonna work."
Danny frowned, gorlwing angrily,"What do you mean?"
Nick shrugged,"Well, shouldn't we kill her outside? You already have so much blood on the floor and everything, wouldn't want the humans gettin' suspicous."
Danny smiled,"Oh my gosh, you're completely right! Kill her outside, I'll come watch."
Rex ducked back, pressing him self against the outside wall next to the door. So far, so good.
As soon as Nick and Rachel were out Rex bent his knees. Then Danny walked out, and Rex pounced.
"Go! Run!"
"Rex?!"
"REX! Get off of me you freak!"
"Go Jack!"
"Jack?"
"Come on Rachel!"
Everyone was yelling all these strange things, no one knew what was going on. Rachel and Jack (who had rolled in soot and disguised him self as Nick) ran back to the farm. Rex tore into Danny's neck.
The fight was short, the deed was done. No one dare interfere to save Danny from his terrible fate at the jaws of Rex. When it was over, there Danny lay, neck torn open, blood seeping onto the ground. From a distance, a human yelled,"SHUT UP YOU STUPID DOGS!"
Rex nodded to the dogs, all were cheering for him. His bowed and raced after Rachel, with Lucky and a pudgy brown husky at his heels.
~
"Oh, no worries, I'll take care of them."
The pudgy brown husky was Lucky's new girlfriend. Lucky picked up Mark and his sister, the female (named Emma) picked up the other little male.
"Thanks Emma, you're a life saver."
Emma chuckled, and Lucky and she left.
When they were gone, Rachel pressed her face into Rex's chest. "Oh thank you so much." She turned to Jack and licked his cheek,"Both of you."
Jack smiled and trotted out of the barn.
Rachel shook her head,"You're so brave. I don't know what I would have done without you. Oh Rex, I do. I DO love you. With all my heart."
The three lived together on the farm for about a year. Rex was now truly part of the family.

OK, listen to me. This is only part one because you all have to know why it's called "Rex's Angel". I'm sure you've already guessed, but I'll make a sequel.
