After we all got done eating me and Jessi cleaned up the leftovers and put things away. I tied up the trash and headed out to the garage to put the trash in the bins. As I finished fighting the bins to close I headed back to the porch. When something caught my sight. I stopped walking and looked around. I swore I saw something move. Mhm. I shrugged and kept walking back. I heard a loud pop sound and then I felt something hit my shoulder.
"Fuck!?" I yelled out startled.
I grabbed the thing that hit me that was stuck in my shoulder blade. As I removed it I felt something hit me again.
"What the hell?!?" I yelled. I looked at the first thing that I was hit with and saw it looked like a needle. "Fuck!!" I ran up to the purch and as I took the last step I hit face first into the porch floor. "Guys!!?!" I yelled at the front door. I really hope someone was listening.
As the door opened there was what sounded like gunfire rang through the tree line. I moved to the side away from the opening of the steps up and tried hiding against the railing. The one who opened the door slammed it closed.
"What the fuck?!" I heard Bucky from the closed door.
As the shots died down the front door opened slowly and I could see Bucky and Steve in the little bit of inside I could see from my laying spot on the porch.
"Ashlee you okay?" Steve asked as he quickly got out of the door and to me. I slowly nodded.
Tony and Clint came out of the door and ran towards where the guns originated from. There was some yelling and more guns going off. I could hear Tony's suit firing also. Everyone seemed to go fight as I was able to get inside with Sam's help. Jessi was hiding behind the couch. I leaned against the wall next to Jessi. I slid my back down the wall so I was sitting.
"Oh my god!! Ashlee, are you okay?" Jessi tried to crawl to me.
"Stay Jessi." I held my hand up stopping her from getting to me.
"What's that in your arm?" Sam asked, grabbing my arm to look at the thing. It was the same thing that I still had in my hand still. He pulled it out of my skin. That one burned a little.
"I'm hoping it's not a tranq dart." I slowly spoke. Shit.
"Ashlee how do you feel?" Jessi whispered.
"Im alright for now." I said. I was just a little woozy right now. But I didn't want to worry Jessi. Well anymore then she is already.
"Sam, you need to help the others." I pointed to the door. "I'll get Jessi out through the back and into the woods. There is a little shack a few acres back we can hide. Jessi I'll change forms and you can ride on my back so we can get away faster." I said, starting to stand.
Sam looked at me and Jessi then out to the door. We could see people coming out of the woods and our friends fighting.
"Alright we will come get you when we have all this covered." Sam kissed Jessi and patted my shoulder. "Be careful Ash." Sam headed out to join the others.
I grabbed Jessi's arm and got her to the back door. "You ready?" I asked, looking at her face. She was so pale right now. Her eyes seemed to be about to pop out of her head.
"As I'll ever be." She spoke in a lower tone.
I nodded and shifted. Jessi opened the back door and then climbed on my back. It's a good thing I'm a bigger dog then the normal house pet. I started to run through the backyard as soon as I felt Jessi was holding on tight. I ran as fast as I could carrying a human. I'm glad Jessi isn't heavy. As we made our way through the woods I could still hear what was going on back at the house. But it didn't seem to be following us so I was happy about that. We came into view of the shack and I slowed down listening around us. All I heard was animals. I stopped just before the little porch steps and Jessi slid off my back landing on her feet with a little thud. I was just about to shift when I howled out in pain.
"Ashlee what happened." Jessi came to the other side of me and gasped.
"Well well.. Look who is all alone." Torren came into our view but it was blurry for me as I started to fall down to my belly. Everything was starting to spin.
Jessi stepped in front of me. "You can't have her Torren. You need to leave before the others get here." Jessi threatened. She looked like she was ready to fight him.
Torren laughed and stepped closer.
I growled at him and he stopped.
"Well I think the others are a little busy right now." Torren smiled at Jessi "and it looks like the horse tranq is working on Ashlee. I told the others to use it. The feral dog tranq wouldn't hit right away, if at all." He held up a little gun. He then hit Jessi with the dart also. She hit the ground hard next to me. Her left arm was touching me as she layed on the ground. The dart seemed to hit her quickly.
"Just be lucky I didn't give you the horse tranq too." He grinned down at her as he walked up to us.
I had no energy to growl let alone fight and it was terrifying. My eyes slowly closed and the last thing I heard was a car coming near.
