Chapter: Four.
Time: Still Date is Unknown, winter 1928
Location: Nome, Alaska
I woke up inside hospital boiler room, well I heard something what came near. Of course I ran to see what was going on.
When I ran out I only saw frozen dead female husky. Cold shiver ran through my spine while I stared the death dog. I felt bad at the moment.
”And of course I’m getting blames.” I said quietly to myself when I then heard scratching near me. I took a look on corner and saw when black and white female husky walked out from there. She saw me with the body and her eyes froze.
She stood there staring me like eight wonder.
”YOU!” She shouted to me. I felt cold shout running through my body. I shivered in fear also cold air.
”What? I didn’t do this!” I defended but before I could react she was on her way towards boiler room.
”Now devil is unleashed!” I shouted to myself and sat down. Ears pulled down against my skull…
I only take off by running only thing on my mind: To get away as soon as possible.
I felt suddenly something under my legs and I tripped on ground growling my idiotic run.
I turned to see sharp wire around my legs, it have been thrown in recycle.
I growled while I got up once again and kept running hearing something behind me. I wished in the name of god that I won’t die in this town. Everywhere I went I heard sounds.
I was near panic and felt sadness rushing through my body. Suddenly I saw two figures standing in front of me. Both of them were growling. “You come with us” second of the dogs said to me. I sniffed and shake my head.
”I didn’t do it” I explained weakly when I felt someone grabbing from my scruff.
I whimpered against but soon joined with them walking between those two dogs. Both of them were strong looking and selfish ones. In reality I knew they were just arrogant towards me because I’m only normal Scout / Messenger Soldier.
I was dragged inside boiler room where they threw me on ground middle of everyone. They formed a circle around me few ones growling. I felt fear at once when I saw their blood hungry faces; I didn’t want to make up a fight so I held my tail and ears low.
”So…we have been gathered on here for one thing…a murder has happen in this town today…earlier” one old Bernard said slowly. Gasps filled the air and glances turned towards me…
”What? Do you guys think that I did kill someone? Nooo I didn’t do anything like that” I refused feeling still the painful look of others. My soul shivered in fear. I didn’t do it but they don’t believe me…
I tried to think out something. I saw the Black and white female husky smiling to me. Or more it was smirk.
I felt bad when I got hit by a paw on my back so that I almost fell on ground.
Kodi gave that to me. Dusty was growling with him. “What?” I asked they didn’t answer to me. I felt that I want to runaway or die…first option sounded better.
I stared around like trying to find help near by, I knew it was useless trying to find help from dogs who blames wrong dog.
I knew I haven’t done anything wrong but I wished that I have could know who did that murder.
Suddenly door banged open and one wounded husky limped in. His gold white fur was having cuts and they were bleeding badly.
As in fear I at once knew what this husky was going to say. He was going to blame me at once, am I right or wrong? I swore to myself that if he blames me I’ll definitely murder him. I hate when MSDF is getting disliked by others.
Husky stared me and some others before he fell on ground. I smirked a bit to this dog.
Soon I heard when dogs run up to this husky. “Who did this to you?” one dog asked from the husky who whimpered. I saw Husky staring me a while.
”Someone with black and white fur…it was definitely male!” husky shouted. I rolled my eyes because I knew who their going to blame at once.
Other dogs turned towards me growling loudly, I turned towards them moving towards boiler feeling the warm air on my back soon starting to burn the older one.
”So…with this husky’s words…you’re the one who murdered female and hurt badly this husky leaving him to die and for some parts…you have cleaned the blood off and then wiped the water also off…” one dog explained simply to me. Why he knew so much about MSDF tricks? This husky who told those words was weir…definitely weird.
I felt like everyone’s glance made hole on my body. I couldn’t protect myself well…I’m too badly outnumbered.
Huskies growled to me and I tried to do same to them. I was already outcast of the town.
I gave up in a sigh. “If you so much blame me GO AHEAD!” I shouted with my whole voice. “Kill me then!” I added in growl preparing to fight in a way what was too bad to me. I already felt several cuts and bites sinking on my black white fur. I lowered my head revealing my neck so that someone can just broke it down. I wanted that now so much…to get away from a town where I have nothing to do expect stay there and wait until someone comes and saves my butt.
”So…He admit it…the one who done those crimes “Ralph said proudly like he was just found out who is the murderer by himself.
”Go ahead and kill innocents” I said in growl finally feeling enough strength to fight against them. I knew that they will beat me in a word war anyway because none was helping me in it.
I felt when hot metal touched my hind leg and I moved a bit forward from it.
Soon Husky spoke up when he limped in front of me. “You *******…you murdering rat” he cursed to me when his face almost hit on mine.
I stared his cold blue eyes seeing view of want of murder. I saw also scars on his muzzle; they were covered by the fur, only some small lines were able to see.
I shivered when I felt his breath when I saw his fangs my body freeze. His fangs were really sharp ones...
He growled to me baring his teeth’s to me. I done same to him and also noticed that he was a bit stronger and bigger than I was, I felt fear run down on my spine.
His body was strong from some parts, also I saw wound what usual comes when wears uniform wrong way. The wound was exactly same looking. It made me think.
”Now he wants to die so we’ll give him to chance to die” one husky from corner spoke up. Everyone approached me a bit.
I this time hit against wall when one husky threw me on it. I whimpered in pain and this time I saw my chance to take off. The path to door was clear. I smirked and then suddenly got up faster than others could react and ran pass the guards of the door Crushing against door then hitting on snow.
I run as fast from that place succeeding to disappear on shadows and clean my smell tracks.
I somehow just succeed to lose the trail for those who left to hunt me. I knew that I was on deep and thin ice.
Finally I rushed inside the hospital room where I have settled down. I’m so sure that everyone will check it out so I build up small hide place for me. The small hole what leads under the hospital was making excellent place to hide was small box where I could fit in easily.
I soon find myself inside the box in perfect timing when door on the room banged open and growling was easy to hear.
”Now is this place clear?” one voice asked from another. Female answered “I’m sure this is clean…but I’ll check it you can go” she said softly and I heard someone padding away.
My body struggled in pain because the bad position where I was at the moment.
Steps came towards me. I started to go in panic, I felt warm waves rushing through my body. I wanted to jump I wanted to pin the attacker before she will do it to me.
I felt someone leaning on the box and then heard a sigh. I wished it could be over soon. Dog suddenly patted the box hearing that it was hollow.
Now I went into panic, I needed to get out. Suddenly my cover was busted by a black and white female Husky. I didn’t think, I become a drooling beast when I leaped from my hide and hit on her.
She fell on ground under my body and yelled in pain, before she could yell help I blocked her mouth and bite down on her throat showing that I was serious.
I didn’t beat too deep to taste her blood, only her fur, ahh the soft fur what I felt under my body felt good.
I let her throat go and unblocked her muzzle. She was quiet and her eyes stared me like I was a monster. She didn’t say anything to me. Her smile was vanished anyway.
She stared me scared. “You…Rayne…please…don’t hurt me” she pleaded and I wished that I could growl to her.
”Why shouldn’t I do that?” I asked ironically and growled I almost sunk my fangs in her flesh. She almost screamed. “You made me bad…you told that I murdered someone…because of you I’m hunted like animal…because of you I’m now hiding and soon going to leave the town!” I shouted to her in large growl. I could see in her eyes that she was sorry.
”I…I’m sorry…” she said. “You’re just…the murderer….” she added.
”I-did-not-murder-her!” I said to her in growl. She nodded her head in fear. “Okay okay! I believe now…” she said in fear. I could see it again in her eyes when her eyes started to get wet.
I couldn’t stand to watch her almost crying. I admitted that she was kind of beautiful looking when she was almost crying. My only chance was to hold her inside this place for sure…
”By the way…you never told you’re name to me” I suddenly said. She sniffed and looked me.
”My…name is…May…” she said quietly when I watched her fur. I could feel smile. “May…” I tasted the word, I could first say that her name was kind of nice but I didn’t.
”Yeah” she said while she swallowed.
”Don’t be afraid…I won’t hurt you like you and your friends hurt me” I explained to her suddenly she pushed me off and growled to me. I hit on ground while she got up, soon I moved back on my feet’s facing her in growl.
I heard bang and something drop on ground. I looked it and saw that some of construction of the hospital under world was collapsed blocking the way out.
I growled. “Now what…we’re stuck in here” I said quietly and felt suddenly impact against my body and I hit on ground feeling May’s fangs on my throat. I reacted and kicked her off getting up same time and leaped on her, she avoided and rolled on side and getting up she hit on my body and we both fell on ground fighting against each others. She bit hard on me I didn’t.
Soon I felt blood trickle down on my side. She has cut wound on my face, it was located under my right eye. I growled but didn’t do anything to her, she noticed that soon and finally pinned me on ground growling. “Why you don’t defend yourself?!” she asked biting down on my throat. I didn’t this time do anything.
”I don’t want to fight against innocents…I’m not those who kills for defend…I thought you could know…if I’m the murderer I could kill you…which I’m not I haven’t kill you” I told her calmly.
May stopped biting me and looked me growling, then she got up and walked to see can she get out, she saw only wall in front of her and no way out.
I smiled only. “No way out…just calm down” I told her feeling that I made wrong move. She sighed and lay down as far as possible from me. Curious grew inside me.
May growled and relaxed, because she was as far from me as she can. “So…do you have a mate?” I asked in curiousness she growled to me louder.
”Why do you ask SOLDIER? You thought to rape me or do something to me aren’t you?” she asked growling to me. I smirked.
”Ma’am if I’ll do that you’d dead by now” I explained to her in smirk and then I sighed.
”Alright you’re the man” May said to me in a sigh. I watched her black fur. She was like a copy from me, but I wasn’t so sure. “May…is your fathers name…Jack?” I asked softly, she growled again to me. “No his name wasn’t “Jack” who ever he is…My mother’s name is…-“she stopped like she was going to tell something to me.
”Mother’s name is…what?” I asked in curious. she growled to me for answer
”None of your business soldier” she said and snorted to me. We’re both stuck in this place and she was acting towards me like that…
”My mothers name was Luna” I told quietly, she snorted for answer.
”Well none of your business STILL!” she shouted.
”Then why you want to talk with me then?” I asked. She growled louder. “Because you’re talking to me!” she said.
”Well you can always ignore” I said to her growling. She went quiet.
”Nothing to talk” she said quietly and sighed. I snorted.
”Why do you hate workers like I am?” I suddenly asked, she growled not wanting to talk, but she said something. “Your friends have murderer my friends” she said in low tone.
”Hey listen my all friends are dead my family sold me and I-“She cut me off. “”hey I’m not interested to hear your boring stories about your life ok? I have my own problems with them” she said quietly snapping.
I sighed, now being locked inside a place with a dog who hates me more than anything in world.
”OK fine then be like your kind of angry and merciless” I snapped and rolled on my side showing back to her.
I felt tear running down on my cheek. I felt too sad on that moment. I sobbed softly and quietly… myself into dream…

*Cut from areas all around*
Dog smirked seeing when others went on hunt. He relaxed inside boiler room smiling. “Mission accomplished” he said softly to himself.
May turned to watch Rayne hearing his sobbing. She smiled weakly knowing now how bad he was feeling.
She opened her mouth to say something but she didn’t. She went quiet.
Other dogs still were searching Rayne…they couldn’t find him…
