Bolt x Dog!maleoc

Shelter

(English is not my native language, so apologies for any mistakes.)

I groaned in pain, lying on a branch while Bolt lay under a tree. "Ouch, ouch, ouch." He said, getting up and around the tree and facing me, and I looked at him furiously. "Life can be painful, can't it! But you don't know anything about it! Because how would you!" I asked angrily and lay down on a branch. I had spent some time with Mittens, and as a result I had learnt some feline behaviour and she had learnt dog behaviour.

"Get out of there. We don't have time to play." He said looking at me. "I'll go get the ladder." Said Rhino and rolled off to find it. "Listen, doggie, you're performing on TV. And do you know what that is, all that television? It's entertainment for people. It's pretend! It's not real!" I said and I was getting the right attitude about it. "Stop talking nonsense." He said and also stared at me. "Think about it, Bolt. Since you got lost, none of your powers work. What doesn't? You were hungry the first time, right? The first time you had blood flying from your paw, yes? And you're not going to tell me that you've had this birthmark shaped like lightning since you were born. Yeah?" I asked and grabbed a branch to keep from falling out of the tree. When he looked at it. "It's my symbol of power, dog." He said and looked at me. "This one made by a make-up artist, dog." I said, mocking him. "Silly talk. Get down." He said sternly as I tied the leash on a branch and sat down. "No." I said simply, then closed my eyes and looked away from him.

"Shade, enough of that. If he uses the super bark, you'll fly out of that tree." He said, clenching his teeth. "Well, come on then, because I'm dying of fright." I said and lay down on a branch. "Just don't blame me." He said and assumed some sort of pose. He barked and nothing happened, as expected. "Uhhh...... scary. I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared. But your voice is really cool." I said sarcastically and looked away in boredom. "I don't believe it. It's not true." Hearing him mumble, I felt a little bad after.

He barked again when I looked at him. "Oh mother, hopelessness. Oh, though, and yet not." I said and lay down on my back and he continued to bark. "I know, mhmmm, sure. But stop it already." I said, turning back onto my stomach and looking at him as he continued to bark. "But enough already. Seriously, Bolt, stop." I said as I was starting to get stressed because he was still barking. "Are you done yet!" I asked and stood up as I looked up and saw the animal control van pulling up. I sighed and grabbed a branch lightly.

"Yes, yes, you have a super bark. But Bolt be quiet. Okay? Quiet." I pleaded quietly, while Bolt barked on. "Bolt, we have to run!" I said and tried to untie the leash from the branch. "Bolt!" I shouted when I saw the catcher catch him as he began to whine. "Be quiet!" The catcher said and reached for me. I move away but he violently grabs me by the fur on the back of my neck, making me groan in pain.

POV BOLT

I hear Shade moan and raise my eyes to see the guy brutally grabbed him, causing him to moan. He unhooked our leash and removed Shade's bandana, then dragged us to his van. He threw us both into individual cages as I heard Shade groan as he hit the wall. I watched as he closed into the cage and heard Shade panicking. I felt a little angry for the way he treated Shade, but I tried not to think about it. I made an attempt to break down the door, but it couldn't be opened. "There must be.....styrofoam somewhere." I said, trying to open it when I heard Shade banging on his door.

"No, no, no, no. Please. It can't end like this." I hear his quick words. "Calm down, Shade. I'll get us out of this." I said as I started to stare at the castle. "You're not going to do anything, Bolt! You don't have super strength. You don't have super bark....... Nor a laser in your eyes." He said as I stopped looking at the lock and wondered how he knew I was trying to use a laser when I was looking at the wall, thinking he could see me through the wall. "Listen to me now. We're going to a sort of second-hand animal commission now, do you understand?" He asked, sounding panicked.
