STREET DOGS_ Tams story
A cold wind blue threw the streets whipping up the leaves in a swirl in the dark alleyway. Cold light rain fell silently from the sky spraying in the wind.
“One Day the Mylla town dogs will attack and when that happens you must be ready”. My siblings and I looked up at my mother as she taught us about the dangers of adulthood. Meisa stood up “pups you must be ready, you must be able to defend yourselves against them you must learn how to fight” Meisa growled, she crouched into an attack position and leapt. Suddenly a dark shape knocked her violently to the ground. I looked up in horror to see a huge dog with blood red eyes pinning my mother to the ground
“The time has come Meisa I will rule both towns” growled the dog in a voice like death.
Meisa looked up in pure horror “no, no” she turned her head to me and the others “run little ones run for your life”.
The huge dog let out a snarling laugh “that wont save them Meisa”.
Please blood” pleaded Meisa “let them live’ let life flow through their veins”.
But Blood ignored her “no Meisa” he snarled “I shall rule and only my pack will live “then letting out a howl he sank his teeth into my mother’s throat and ripped it open. I sat frozen with horror; it was blood the dog that my mother had warned us about, the murderous leader of Mylla town. Suddenly my brother treill was ripped from my side as blood lifted him high into the air, then sinking his teeth into Treill”s soft body crushed the life out of him.
“No” I yowled leaping at him. Blood gave a snarl dropped Treill and turned on me. He then lashed out with his paw and flung me to the ground. I landed hard the breath knocked out of me.
Blood stood over me in an instant” let me tell you this before you die pup” he snarled the cries of my brothers and sisters echoing around me. “I will lead both towns and I will kill all your relatives and friends one by one until the Mylla junkyard dogs rule the towns”. Sheer rage gave me the strength I needed as his jaws came closer I rolled quickly away and leapt onto his exposed throat were I sank in my teeth. Blood let out a furious snarl and shook me off in an instant. I landed on my feet and leapt again. Blood raised his paw to bat me away again but this time I twisted in mid air to land on his back where I sank my claws and teeth into it. Blood let out a yowl and rolled over crushing me against the ground. I let out a yowl of anger and squirmed free. Blood let out a snarl and raked his claws down my back, I let out a yowl of pain and leapt to the side as he lashed out again. Then I turned and ran , Blood chased me “you wont get away from me pup” he snarled.
I leapt out of reach onto some boxes “my name is Tam” I snarled “and you shall never rule this town you will know me as the dog that drives you out” before blood could leap at me I turned a disapered into the darkness.
In an alleyway
“Veara, Veara” I called out. Veara was my best friend I had to warn her
“Tam what’s wrong”. I spin around as Vera appeared behind me.
“Veara” I cried you must get out of here the Mylla town dogs are finally here they killed my family and they’ll kill you to, you must get out of her".
Veara took a step back shaking “what about you “she asked,
I shook my head I knew only one solution I’m going to talk to Scar….” .
“Scar” Veara cried you can’t do that”. “I can do what I like” I snarled.
“Your friends right” a gentle voice growled, I turned my head to see Veara’s mother Meara step out of the darkness. Veara shot me a half worried half annoyed glance and walked away. Meara looked at me “tam you are to young you must come with us”.
"No” I growled “ I must stop Blood before he rules both towns, tell the other street dogs to get out then get out of here” without waiting for an answer I spun around and ran towards the Junkyard.
Outside the junkyard
I’m standing outside scars Junkyard. High fences surround it and there was a large hole that is the entrances to the junkyard. I walked through the entrance only to be stopped by scars deputy Bone “ you dare enter without permission” he snarled with a voice filled with evil
But In didn’t flinch “my name is Tam and I have come to speak to your leader” I growled.
Bone snorted “you, a puppy”.
I’m no Puppy” I snarled “I’m no weakling and unless Scar wants to lose his leadership you will let me pass “.
Bone took a step back clearly surprised by my anger. “Very well “n he growled after a while stepping aside “but don’t think Scar will be so kind” I ignored him and walked through the junkyard towards scars den. A hole dug out of the rubbish. One of Scars pack mates looked at me with hatred, I knew her well her name was Saffron and she was a deceitful murderer. I ignored her and stopped outside Scars den. I heard a low snarl from inside and Scar stepped out; I looked at him in awe he was even bigger than I imagined him, Long claws protruded from his huge brown, paws huge mussels rippled beneath his black pelt his, teeth stuck out from under his jowls and his eyes were a menacing yellow.
He turned his head and glared at me “who are you” he spat. I didn’t flinch away from his aggressive tone “ I am Tam” I growled dipping my head to him “and I have come to warn you of a terrible danger to your town “,
“who the humans” growled Scar “deal with them yourself pup”.
“No not the humans” I growled “Blood” Scar took a step backwards and exchanged a glance with Saffron who had come up behind me unnoticed.
After a few moments he nodded “go get bone “he growled to Saffron “he must here this", Saffron nodded and bounded away. Scar glared down at me “follow me“he snarled menacingly turning back into his den. I followed him into the warm darkness of the den.
Inside was dark and comforting, Scars mate Claw lay in the soft sand “what’s this Scar” she snarled in a deep voice “a meal for claw.
I glared at her I’m no meal” I snarled settling myself on the soft floor. Claw snorted and turned to lick her side.
Bone walked in behind me, as soon as bone was settled Scar nodded “speak” he growled.
“As I’ve told you” I began “Blood is in town Bone gave a surprised growl but Scar silenced him with a flick of his tail. I ignored him and continued “he killed my family in cold Blood; He told my mum that he would rule both towns and that only his pack will live….”
Bone let out a snarl “he can try…”
Scar flicked his tail for silence “that’s enough Bone” snarled Scar” “you will not interrupt “Scar flicked his tail toward me “go on”.
“after he killed my family he came after me but I got away and It was then that I knew that I had to come to you, that you were the only one who could save the town”.
Scar drew his lips back in a vicious snarl “I don’t save the town “he snarled “I save only my pack”.
I glared at him “how dare you, you are supposed to be the leader of the town, the one that protects us but instead you are a spineless traitor “……Scar rose to his paws as Claw and Bone flinched, I guessed that not many dogs dared to speak to him that way
“You dare call me a traitor” he snarled “who is you family that they must be avenged?”.
“My family were nothing special to you I’m sure” I snarled “but to me Meisa was….”
“Meisa” Interrupted Claw “Meisa is you mother.
I stopped and looked curiously at claw “yes I growled Meisa is my mother.
“Meisa” snarled Scar "that filthy rat," for an instant anger flashed across Claws eyes but as Scar turned to her they changed to fear “why are you so interested in that filthy rat he snarled.
Claw dropped her eyes not meeting Scars, “I’m not” she growled uneasily I’m just glad she dead” but the was guilt in her eyes.
Scar snorted and spun back around to me “how dare you come here and expect me to help you” he snarled “get out of my den ,get out of my junkyard and get out of my town” he stepped forward menacingly
“Fine” I snarled “but if you need help I wont help you, Ill be proud to watch you die”. I spun around and walked out of the junkyard.
The streets
The streets were empty, the cold wind still blowing silently through the alleyways. I stopped at Veara’s alley “Veara” I called “are you still…..
Suddenly a huge shape rammed into me flinging me to the ground and knocking the wind from me. Before I could get to my paws huge paws pinned me to the ground. I looked up to see bloods deputy Scree, “snivelling piece of pup” he snarled “you warned the town dogs’ told them of us, deprived us of our kills”
“Yes” I interrupted “and I warned Scar too he will be waiting to rip you to pieces”
“Wrong” snarled Scree “we will be waiting to rip him to shreds and every other dog, starting with you” he sunk his long teeth into my throat. I let out a cry of pain and rage and struggled to free myself but he was too strong. I desperately looked for a place to strike and found his venerable belly exposed, glaring at him I raked my claws down his belly, Scree let out a yowl of pain and let go of my throat, I then kicked upward into his belly flinging him off me and onto the ground Then quick as a fish I leapt onto him and sank my teeth into his throat, he let out a cry of anger and threw me off him “pest” he snarled, he leapt at me again but I leapt nimbly aside and he crashed to the ground heavily. He let out a furious snarl and took a swipe at me missing. He got to his paws and leapt again I leapt upward,. Just as I was about to leap on him I felt a sharp stab in my neck crashing into his belly and sending him crashing to the ground were he lay winded. Just as I was about to leap on him there was a sharp pain in my neck and I was lifted off the ground then my attacker began to shake me from side to side shaking my bones painfully. My neck felt like it would rip apart. Suddenly just as the light started to fade there was a brown flash and I was flung to the ground. I looked up to see Buster pinning my attacker to the ground his lips pulled back in a vicious snarl to reveal thorn sharp teeth. For the first time I realized my attacker was blood. Blood snarled up at Buster and tried to throw him off but Buster held on and suck his teeth into Blood’s throat. Scree leapt onto Buster and pulled him off Blood. Buster turned on Scree and the two began to fight. Buster knocked Scree to the ground sank his teeth into Scree’s throat and raked his back claws down Scree’s belly. Scree gave a snarl and knocked buster off him and onto the ground, but before Scree could leap on him Buster rolled away and leapt to his paws. Scree crashed to the ground with an angry snarl. I looked around for Blood, he was Quietly watching the fight with narrowed eyes. Buster leapt on Scree before he could get to his paws and sunk his teeth into Scree’s throat. Scree let out a snarl and raked his claws down Busters shoulders, Buster snarled and tha two began to roll raking each other with their claws. Suddenly Buster let go of Scree’s throat and sunk his teeth into hi ear, Scree let out a yowl of pain and pushed Buster off him. Buster landed on his paws and leapt at Scree again then raising his paws he aimed a death blow to the throat. But before Busters could deal the death blow Blood knocked Buster off Scree and pinned him to the ground, Scree got to his paws and helped hold Buster down. Buster turned his head to me “run tam” he yowled "go". After a moments hesitation I spun around and raced down the street. I stopped for a moment and looked back to see Blood sink his teeth into Busters Neck and rip it open while Scree ripped open his belly with his claws. I bowed my head and spun around, racing away.
2 Days Later
I opened my eyes and yawned it had been two days since Busters death and I blames Myself horribly. I stretched and got to my paws, I had made a bed for myself at the edge of town just near the mountains. I walked slowly over to the rubbish bin and rummaged through it. I had found and old chicken bone when I heard a yowl of pain, I dropped the bone and raced to the sound.
Veara was on the ground with Scree on top of her trying to rip open her throat.
“NO” I yowled “VEARA” I leapt onto Scree’s back and pulled him off Veara.
Scree turned on me “ahh the pup that got away” he snarled then crouched into an attack position.
Veara came up beside me and growled at Scree. I turned to her “you fool” I snarled “why did you come back."
Veara looked at me with sad eyes “I had to I had to see if you were alright “
“I’m fine I growled “you must…..”. I was interrupted by Scree crashing into Veara and pinning her to the ground. Before I could stop him he sank his teeth into her throat and ripped it out. Veara’s body began to convulse and blood polled the ground. After a few moments the convulsing stopped and she lay still “ no” I yowled “Veara”. Before I could kill Scree he ran towards Scars pack, Then it hit me Bloods pack must have already invaded Scars pack.
Suddenly Veara’s body twitched and she lifted her head “ save the town Tam” she gasped
I looked down at her in amazement “Veara” I growled, I crouched down beside her “I’m sorry Veara I’m so sorry, I should have stopped Scree It’s my fault you died” I whispered
Veara raised her head slightly and touched her nose to mine “It’s not your fault” she growled “ I don’t blame you, I will never blame you’
“But I….
“You must save the town” she interrupted me, her voice barley more than a whisper “or all will be lost”. With that her head dropped and she lay still.
I bowed my head and pressed my face into her cooling pelt “Goodbye my friend I’ll always remember you’. Suddenly I felt a wave of pure anger run through my body, I looked down the street and glared after Scree. Then rising stiffly to my paws I ran after Scree, I wanted revenge wanted to rip Scree to pieces I lifted my head and howled into the sky “I’m coming Scar”.
Scars junkyard
I raced through the junkyard entry and saw Scree battling with Bone. Bone was Fighting desperately but Scree had him pinned to the ground and was ripping at his belly. Letting out a furious yowl I leapt onto Scree’s back and sunk my teeth into his throat and then bit down crushing his windpipe Scree let out a pained wail then fell to the ground dead. Bone scrambled upwards “Tam what are you doing here “ he gasped
I’m here to save the town’ I yowled. I nodded to him and raced towards scars den, Racing as fast as my as could carry me. I stopped a few metres outside Scars den and listened; I heard a terrible snarling and raced forward through the entrance.
Scar was crouching on the ground with Blood standing over him “Finally I’ll be leader of both towns” growled Blood ‘all I have to do is kill you”. He pinned Scar to the ground and sunk hid teeth into his throat.
“You’ll have to get through me first” I snarled.
Blood spun around, letting go of scar in his shock “you” he stammered “but how”
“Yes me” I snarled stepping toward him “ and I’m here to fulfil my promise, the promise to drive you out” without hesitating I leapt at Blood.
Blood still surprised at my appearance and completely unprepared for my attack fell sideways and onto the ground. I sank my teeth into his throat for the killing bite. Blood glared at me and slithered from beneath me faster than I thought possible. He leapt to his paws and leapt at me. I rose to meet him and we began to fight chest to chest, snarling furiously. He knocked me to the ground and we began to roll along the sandy floor. I saw claw limp toward Scar who was still crouching on the ground, blood seeping from his throat. But before Blood could reach him Blood dislodged me and leapt onto Claw, pinning her to the ground. Then before Scar or I could stop him, sank his teeth into her throat. Claw tried desperately to free herself, raking her claws down bloods shoulders and forelegs, but Blood barely flinched then in one swift movement he tore out her throat. Scar leapt forward “no” he yowled. Blood let go of claw and turned on Scar. But before he could attack I leapt onto his shoulders and sank my teeth into his ear forcing his head away from Scar, snarling viciously. Blood let out a shrill cry of anger and bucked his back to try and dislodge me but I clung on with all four paws, snarling furiously. Blood gave an angry snarl and rolled, crushing me against the ground. I yowled in anger and scrambled to my paws tripping Blood. Before Blood could get up I leapt on him and sunk my teeth into his neck, raking my claws down his sides. He yowled in pain and stood up quickly, throwing me off him, Blood barley had time to get to his paws before I leapt on him again. He scrambled for a foothold as my weight almost pushed him to the floor, he shook me off, I tumbled along the floor but managed to dig my claws into the earth and stop myself. Blood leapt on me before I could get to my paws and pinned me into the sandy floor, He pinned my legs to the floor and drew his lips back in a snarl “say goodbye Traitor” he snarled sinking his teeth into my throat. I struggled to free myself but couldn’t, I stopped this was the end, Blood would rule the town and It was all because of me. Suddenly Blood was pushed of me, I scrambled to my paws to see Scar glaring at Blood, with his head lowered and his teeth drawn back in a snarl. “You dare attack me” snarled Blood stalking towards Scar aggressively “ill show you”. Before he could reach Scar I leapt onto his back and sunk my teeth into the back of his neck there was a terrible high pitched squeal then blood went limp beneath me, I had killed him, broken his neck. Scar instantly let out a battle cry and sprung out of the den, I followed carrying Bloods body with me. Bloods warriors were still fighting with Scars they all stopped and looked up at the cry.
“You are defeated” I yowled to Bloods pack “ Go home”
Bloods pack instantly fled the clearing with Scars pack chasing them yowling in triumph.
Scar turned to me “thankyou tam” he growled “you have saved the town”…..............” will you be my mate" he added”
I looked up at him and love for him suddenly flooded through my veins, and I knew that I loved him “yes I will” I growled
