Finlay jumped and looked at Buffy who was shaking her paw as if in pain.

 

“Buffy are you alright” asked Finlay “did you hurt yourself”

 

 

“I just tripped that’s all “snapped Buffy shaking herself and glaring at Finlay “I can look after myself thank you”.

 

 

For a heartbeat Sasha thought she saw anger flash across Finlay’s eyes but it was gone so quickly she could not be sure “Very well then I was just worried” growled Finlay.

 

Sasha saw Gemma and Finlay exchanges a worried glance; she opened her mouth to ask them what was wrong when Chocolate spoke.

 

 

“Let’s get out of here” he growled, Sasha and the others nodded their agreement and followed Chocolate out of the building.

 

 

But no one saw the needle dripping red liquid sticking out of the shelves.

 

 

 

At the river bank

 

Sasha lay on the river bank with Dexter quietly talking,

 

 

“Why do you think the humans were experimenting on dog like that” she asked “ and what were they trying to do with the rabies virus?.

 

 

Dexter shrugged “I don’t know” he growled uneasily” but whatever the reason it failed”.

 

 

“The dog must have tuned on them” growled Sasha “but you know what I don’t get it, rabies doesn’t make dogs kill, it doesn’t make sense”

 

 

Dexter liked his lips as if tasting a piece of prey “true” he growled “but the humans must have  mixed something in with the formula “ changed it so that it made It a killer” he paused and closed his eyes thinking “ but what” he growled “and why”

 

 

Sasha opened her mouth to reply when Charlie padded up to them dripping wet “are you coming in?’ she growled.

 

 

Sasha exchanged a glance with Dexter “maybe” she replied “we were just discussing the facility, trying to figure out what the humans were doing’

 

 

Charlie shivered “I don’t want to remember it” she growled shakily “it’s to horrifying, to terrifying” she lay down in front of them “I mean why would the humans deliberately make a killer?”

 

 

Dexter snorted “humans do lots of stupid things” he growled “what’s to say this is unusual” he got up and shook himself “well I’m going in” he growled wadding into the river “I’m too hot” Sasha stood and waded into the river behind him.

 

 

At the camp site (where they meet every night)              

 

Sasha walked into the campsite holding a huge rabbit in her jaws. She walked over to where Dexter and sprocket were sitting and lay down next to Dexter “Greetings” she growled waving her tail at Sprocket who gave a small nod of acknowledgment. Sasha shrugged and began tearing into the rabbit “good hunting” growled Sasha noticing the huge pieces of fresh kill at their feet.

 

 

Dexter nodded “Chocolate is going to call a meeting at moonhigh” he warned “he said we must discuss what happened today and try to determine what happened”

 

 

Sasha was about to reply when Charlie walked past carrying a fish. Charlie nodded at them and walked toward Chocolate. On the way she passed Buffy, she didn’t see Buffy and accidentally stepped on her paw.

 

 

Buffy snarled and took a swipe at Charlie who jumped back in fright.

 

“Watch where your going bumble brain” snarled Buffy

 

Gemma and Finlay who were walking past stopped and exchanged a suspicious glance. Sasha shared their suspicion and surprise sure Buffy was aggressive but not this aggressive. 

 

 

Sprocket snorted and walked over to Buffy “take it easy Buffy” she growled irritably Charlie didn’t mean it.

 

 

Buffy glared at Sprocket for a minute, then her eyes softened and she shook her head as if to clear the anger “No I’m sorry Charlie” she growled softly “you just startled me”. Sasha saw Gemma and Finlay exchange another worried glance and walked over to them.

 

 

“What’s wrong” she growled

 

 

Finlay opened her mouth to say something then closed it again. “Nothing” growled Gemma. Gemma nuzzled Finlay and the two of them walked over to a shady spot

 

 

Sasha snorted and stalked back to Dexter and Sprocket She then sat down and began to tear into the rabbit again.

 

Sasha finished her rabbit and liked her lips. She rolled onto her back giving a long luxurious stretch as she looked around the camp she saw Buffy glaring at her, her eyes filled with hatred and something else. Sasha snorted and got to her feet, Dexter was asleep next to her “Dexter” she growled prodding him with her paw “want to go for a walk?” Dexter opened his eyes and stretched.

 

 

“Its nearly moonhigh” he growled Chocolate will be calling the meeting soon”

 

 

Sasha rolled her eyes irritably “well be back before that” she lent close to Dexter’s ear “I just wanted to get away from Buffy’s glare.

 

 

Dexter turned his head to look at Buffy who was still glaring at them “ok” he sighed “but we must be back…”

 

 

“Don’t worry we will” growled Sasha angrily losing patience. She spun around and walked into the forest

 

“Buffy sure acted strange before” growled Sasha

 

 

Dexter nodded “yes a bit suspicious If you ask me”

 

 

Sasha stopped “what do you mean” she queried

 

 

Dexter rolled his eyes “ think about it” he urged “we go into a strange building that used to hold rabid dogs Buffy tripped, or so she said, and now she’s acting more aggressive than ever, there’s something wrong here”

 

 

Sasha was about to reply when Charlie crashed through the bushes behind them “there you are” growled Charlie “chocolate has called a meeting”   

 

 

 Dexter snorted “but it’s not moonhigh yet” he growled challengingly

 

 

“He called the meeting early and he’s waiting for you he’s not happy” spluttered Charlie

 

 

Dexter curled his lips in a snarl “well he can just wait a few moments longer” he snarled “when he Sais he’s going to start a meeting at moonhigh he should start a meeting at moonhigh”

 

 

 Charlie took a step back clearly frightened “I’m sorry...” she began

 

 

Dexter smiled and pressed his nose to hers “no I’m sorry, you didn’t do anything wrong” Dexter snorted “we’d better get back” he snarled “or chocolate will be angry” he sneered the last words. Sasha followed Dexter to the campsite.

 

 

                      

 

The next morning

 

A yowl of fear and pain woke Sasha with a start. Sasha shot to her paws and looked around, in front of her Buffy was fighting with sprocket and had her pinned into the dirt bent over her throat as if to rip it out. Sasha rushed forward “Buffy what are you doing” she gasped. Buffy turned to her lips drawn back in a vicious snarl, Sasha saw that her eyes were clouded with something she had never seen before, as if she wanted to rip her apart. Sasha backed away “Buffy what’s wrong she stammered” for and answer and before anyone could stop her Buffy lowered her jaws across sprockets throat and ripped it open, she then ripped her chest open. Sasha stumbled backwards “B Buffy what’s gotten into you” Sasha whimpered “You killed your own sister, your own sister”. For an answer Buffy let go of sprockets’ limp body and turned on Sasha. Buffy stalked toward her, her muzzle soaked in blood “Buffy what’s gotten into you” stammered Sasha. But instead of answering Buffy gave a vicious snarl and leapt at Sasha claws extended to rip her apart………….
