Threne's POV
"Thank goodness! Classes is over!" I exclaim with a big smile on my face.
It has been a boring class after all. I know the subject is not that bad,but the teacher? Ugghh,no comment.
I turn my attention to Hera who is blankly gazing outside the window like some heroine on a drama story.
"Hera?" I nudge her shoulder gently, causing for her to look at me confusedly.
"Are you alright?" I ask her, concern is clear on my tone.
"Yup! I'm just thinking about my relationship with Alex." She hesitates first, but she still answers in all honesty.
"Oh well, I think he's serious with you." I state,just trying to lift up her spirits.
It's a hypothetical statement, okay?
"I guess." She let out a sigh.
I start to pack up my belongings and bid good bye to Hera. As I am walking to my house, I can't stop thinking about my pets, and on what should I do if my mom learns everything. I can't keep this from her forever. One day,she'll come home and she will eventually see them and I don't even know what to do. Sometimes,I really do blame myself for bringing pets inside the house. But being alone in the house is lonely and I'm not used to it. I absolutely need company.
Being an animal lover is really hard and the temptation is real.
A sigh escape from my outh as my shoulder slump in total dissapointment.
Why is my life like this?!
But,oh well. I'll just have to enjoy the short moment I'll have with the pets I brought home and when the time comes when mom came home,mm..Let's not think about that.
As I take a turn in the street, I notice a person dragging a large brown dog in an alley.
In a violent manner.
"Come here you trash!" The man shout at the poor dog as he continues to struggle pulling the dog with him.
My mind suddenly fell blank at the sight as my jaw drop in surprise. My body shook in anger and my blood started to boil to the point where I can feel my skin burning. My hands turn to fist,tempting to plant it on the bastard's face.
I can't help seeing such horrible commotion. This should be stop!
"Hey! That's not the right thing to treat a dog!"
Blood comes out from the dog's mouth as the collar tightens in his neck. My face fell and quickly switches into a concern one. I felt my heart being torn into many pieces and I felt tears start to brim on the corners of my eyes.
I bit my lips as my eyes slanted angrily.
'Oh no, he didn't!' I thought furiously.
I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW I COULD STAB HIM IN MANY WAYS AND DUMP HIS ROTTEN CORPSE IN THE DEPTH OF HELL!
"Bastard! Stop it! Stop pulling him! His neck! You're hurting him!" I quickly rush to the dog's aid and tries to remove the tight collar around his neck.
"Hey,stay away from my dog, kid!" He shouts at me, his saliva spitting out as he says each of those words. I glared at him so hard that it made him take a step back.
"No! You stay away from the dog. Abusing is illegal you jerk and you should be arrested for doing such a crime!" I shout back at him.
The man's face turns twisted in anger and it became more ugly. He kicks me in my stomach, causing for me to fall from the impact.
Ouch! No one has ever done that to me, and it hurts like hell! But I can't give up! I need to help this dog.
I get up and grab a big rock I just saw and throw it to his face. Hard.
After I did that, I grab the dog and run. I quickly remove the collar and wince when my eyes landed on its bloody neck. I softly tighten my hold,not that tight,as I fasten my speed,desperate to get away from that man.
To be frank, this dog is really heavy. I can't even lift a foot. But we need to get out of here. I bit my lip as my stomach start to ache.
"Don't worry big guy, I'm here to help you."
He weakly rub his face under my chin and softly licks my cheeks.
"Hey, get back here!" I heard the man shouts as he struggles to keep up with me.
Oh no! I'm dead! I'm really dead!
I quickly took a turn and good thing, I saw an officer.
"Officer!!" I shout, hoping for him to hear me.
"Yes miss?" He notices me, his eyebrows raise in confusion when he saw my form,completely haggard.
"Someone is following me. And worst, he abused this dog." I said while panting heavily. And I'm actually tempted to add 'He's a total a-hole' but nope.
Seriously,this dog needs to lose weight. Or am I too weak to even lift a single stone?
The officer nods in understanding and when he saw the man,he quickly go after him and arrest the man who's trying to escape when he saw the officer.
"You are arrested, mister." He brought out his handcuff.
"N-no, you must be j-joking. I-im just g-going to retrieve my d-dog." The man stutters as he unbelievingly peeks at the handcuff.
"Hey, I know you! You're are that wanted guy we're trying to catch for stealing the jewelries of a jewelry store." The police exclaims as he scrutinizes the face of the guilty man.
The man's face turns pale.
"P-please, you misunderstood. I don't know what your talking about." He stutters, shaking his head in disagreement.
The officer just pushes the man inside the police car, ignoring his lame excuses. He then glance at me.
"Thank you, officer." I send him a grateful smile.
"Your welcome, young lady. You need to be careful around here. So what are you going to do with that dog?" He ask, his eyes averting to the dog.
I look at it and it give me this puppy eyes plus his cute looks. I can't help but bit my lips to stifle a squeal.
"I will keep him." I softly answers.
It barks weakly and licks my face again. A whine then follows.
"Oh yeah, your wound. Thanks again officer." He nods as he finally enters the car.
After the police car leaves, I bolt into a run again while clutching the wounded animal in my arms.
When I reach home, I was greeted by my pets. I give each of them a big smile as I enter the household.
Again, Ean's eyes slanted when he sees the new dog while Matthew hisses. Jiro meanwhile blankly stare at it.
The dog jumps from my arms and runs towards them. He licks them excitedly as Matthew tries to scratch him. I chuckle as I watch the view. I soon pick up the new dog and went to the comfort room.
I better fix this dog's wound before it gets infection, I thought.
I reach for the medicine and kneel infront of it.
"This will hurt, but don't worry, it wont last long." I informed the dog.
I put the medicine on his wounds tenderly and wrapped it with a bandage,stopping the bleeding.
"There, so welcome to your new family...." I pauses as I pick a suitable name for the dog. As I close my eyes, a name enters my mind. A smile tugs on my lips, knowing this will suit him.
...Reed."
Reed jumps and licks my face with happiness. I hug him and smile.
