“Mom what’s wrong with her?” Tanja asked as her mother tried to get Soraya’s attention.

 

“I’m not sure, sweetie, but if she’s not better tomorrow I’ll take her to the vet,” She said and went back to what she had been doing before.

 

“Soraya, please don’t be sad,” Tanja tried saying but Soraya only sighed. She loved Tanja so much, but now she just wasn’t in the mood to be playing around.

 

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

 

Tanja had given up and gone outside like her mom had told her to. Soraya was stiff so she decided to go out and get some fresh air.

As she came out, she noticed the weather was good.

 

“I might as well take a walk to get my mind of things” She thought and walked into town.

As she was walking in the town she suddenly realized.

 

“What if I meet him?” She thought to her horror. She glanced around quickly and turned around.

 

“I’ve got to get out of here fast!” She quickened up her pace but then she heard it.

 

“Cheer up man!” A dog said coming around the corner.

 

“Will you just leave me alone for one second?” Cass growled at him. Soraya froze at the spot and tried to think quickly. She ran into an alley. 

 

“Please don’t come here, please don’t come here!” Soraya thought as she ran to the far end of it. But before she could stop herself she had ran into a dog that was searching for food in the garbage.

 

“Ouch!” the dog fell backwards and Soraya landed on top of him.

 

“Oh I’m so sorry,” Soraya tried to say as she stepped of him and started walking backwards.

 

“Where do you think you are going?” The dog said standing up and grabbing her bandana with his teeth.

 

“Let go!” Soraya growled but the dog only dragged her closer to him.

 

“What’s going on in there?” Cass said stopping in front of the alley hearing yelling coming from inside of it.

His friend had also stopped and looked the same way.

 

“It’s probably alley dogs fighting for food, let’s go!” He kept on walking.

 

“Get of me! Hel…,” Cass’s eyes widened, he knew that voice.

 

“Soraya!” He ran into the alley seeing a large dog throwing Soraya into garbage cans trying to knock her unconscious.

Cass jumped at the dog and threw him into the corner of the alley, fighting him there. But the other dog was big and strong and used to fights. He hit Cass again and again with his paws but Cass wasn’t going to give up.

Cass tried to stand up but got his balance thrown of making him hit the wall. The other dog took advantaged of it and threw himself in the same direction crushing Cass between himself and the wall.

Cass screamed in pain but it got the better of him knocking him out cold.

 

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

 

“SORAYA!!” Cass woke up and looked around. He winced in pain but realized he was still in the same alley as before.

 

“Oh no!” Cass said standing up in a hurry but fell back down from the pain.

 

“What happened? Where is Soraya? Where is the other dog?” all these thoughts went through Cass’s head as he tried to stand up again.

 

Cass finally managed to get himself out of the alley but fell once again.

 

“Cass?” Sadeye was looking down on him.

 

“What happened to you?” Sadeye tried to help him up but he just fell back down.

 

“Sadeye you have to get help! Some dog took Soraya!” Cass said managing to stand.

 

“What do you mean? Your friend Hawk just saved her and brought her to the vet.” Sadeye said trying to support him.

 

“What?” Cass couldn’t believe it; he thought that Hawk had left when he went in to save Soraya.

 

“We better get you to the vet. What happened to you anyways?” Sadeye was looking at the scars and bruises on Cass’s body.

 

“Wait, I still don’t get it, didn’t Hawk tell anyone about me?” Cass asked realizing he had been left behind even though his friend knew about him.

 

“Cass you’re not thinking straight, let’s get you to the vet first.”  Sadeye said and Cass couldn’t say anything more, he was too weak already.

 

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

 

Two days had passed and he had been stuck inside of the hospital. No one had asked about him, no one had visited him except his owner who was now taking him home.

 

“What had happened? Why had Hawk left him behind?” this had been on Cass’s mind ever since that night.

 

“Be careful now and don’t go running away again!” Carl said leaving Cass at the house before going to work.

 

“I can’t stay here; I need to figure out things!” Cass said to himself. Even though he was injured he wasn’t going to let that stop him.

 

“Who can I talk to first?” Cass wondered as he was escaping the house with much of difficulties. The window had seemed higher than usually.

Cass looked around and spotted Hawk. He stopped himself from calling his name. It would be better to follow him, seeing were he was going.

 

After a short time of trailing behind he realized where he was heading. Hawk stopped outside Soraya’s house.

 

“What’s he doing here?” Cass wondered as he tried to get closer.

 

Soraya came out the doggie door and Hawk greeted her.

 

“Thanks for saving me,” Soraya said with a smile.

 

“Not a problem, I’m glad you agreed to go out with me,” Hawk said with a grin.

 

“I’m still just surprised how you got away with fighting the dog and not getting one scar on you.” Soraya said in amazement.

 

“WHAT!” Cass stepped back in surprise. Hawk had arrived after him taking all the credit for saving Soraya.

 

“Well it’s my luck I guess,” Hawk said and walked with Soraya into town.

He was a huge liar. Cass wanted to attack him right there but stopped himself because of Soraya.

 

“So where are we going?” Soraya asked after awhile. Cass kept close behind. He didn’t trust his so called friend.

 

“You’ll see” Hawk only replied and kept on leading the way. After awhile they arrived at the boiler room.

 

“We are not going in there for our first date?” Soraya asked worried remembering the date she had gone on with Cass.

 

“Oh no, I was just supposed to meet someone here for few minutes. Is it okay you come with me?” Hawk asked as he went inside.

Soraya agreed to wait for him and went inside after him.

 

“There’s no one here, is he or she coming soon?” Soraya turned to Hawk but just in the same moment he pushed the door closed behind him.

 

“Hawk?” Soraya was walking backwards but hit the wall. Hawk kept getting closer and closer.

 

“Oh, how my luck has changed” He said with an awful grin on his face.

 

“First Cass gets dumped by you, and then he saves you and gets knocked out at the same time letting me take all the credit.” Hawk licked his lips and without a warning he jumped at Soraya.

Soraya tried to avoid him but he caught hold of her tail dragging her closer.

 

Cass stood outside he had seen Hawk closing the door and tried to jump in before he did but because of his injuries he wasn’t quick enough.

 

“Damn it!” He could hear Soraya screaming and trying to get away inside.

 

“I have to help her,” He thought in panic and tried to run at the door but that was bad idea and only ended in him falling.

 

He looked all around himself but then remembered how his grandfather had gone in with his grandma.

 

Finally managing to lift the nails up he pushed the door open.

 

“GET OFF HER YOU BASTARD!” Cass yelled at Hawk who had Soraya stuck in a corner.

 

“Oh Cass, buddy, you still standing. What a shame!” Hawk wasn’t very pleased with this change of plans.

 

“One more chance! GET OFF HER!” Cass said but Hawk didn’t move. Cass snapped and ran at Hawk pushing him away from Soraya.

Hawk turned around and saw an opening on Cass’s neck. He charged at it making Cass scream in pain. It was the same place the other dog had attacked and the wound hadn’t healed yet.

 

Soraya ran towards the door. She had to get away. But then she heard Cass’s scream. Looking back she noticed that he was losing. She had to do something!

Soraya charged at Hawk landing on top of him. She dug her claws deep into his skin making him gasp in pain and letting Cass go.

 

“Get off me you little shit!” Hawk yelled and tried to shake Soraya of while holding Cass down.

Soraya lost her grip and balance and landed on the floor next to Cass.

 

“I’m sorry!” Cass said, his voice was weak after all the beating and blood was dripping from his wound.

 

“It’s okay, just hang on!” Soraya said distracted before standing up again. Hawk dug his claws deeper into Cass’s skin making sure he couldn’t move anywhere.

 

“I’ve always hated you! Do you know how annoying it is to be in your shadow?” Hawk whispered into Cass’s ear.

 

“And as soon as your finished I’ll take your girlfriend here and make her beg for death too,” He chuckled in a voice that Cass didn’t know anymore.

Soraya stood up and growled angrily. Hawk was amused by her expression.

 

“Do you really think you can beat me?” He asked her.

Soraya attacked him again biting into his skin. He finally let go of Cass to try to shake Soraya of again. But she held on.

 

“What is going on there?” Someone was coming to the boiler room. Hawk’s eyes widened.

Conall, Cass’s brother came in with more dogs. They all stopped when they saw what had been going on in there.

Conall watched is brother’s body which seemed to be taking his last breath.

 

“What have you done?” Conall growled as he walked closer
