Prologue

You adored him, the one who saved and took care of you. The two of you were the greatest of friends. Even though you weren't the same species. Yes you were a small (H/C) kitten while your protector was an old albino shepherd but dew to the muck and grime of the London streets his coat had a grayish tinge to it. But he never let you get to dirty, whenever he saw that your coat of (long/short) fur was getting a dusty look to it, he’d pick you up by the scruff of your neck and take you back home to clean you up. Your home wasn't much, just a pile of planks leaning against a crate with a dirty old blanket draped over it. But as long as you were by his side then everything was ok. The day had started like it always did. You’d be awoken by a small nudge under the cheek, not wanting to wake up just yet you rolled to face the other way. Hearing a huff behind you, you peeked an eye open to look behind you. “It's time to get up kitten.” He had said in a low rumble of a growl nuzzling the back of your head to wake you up more. Turning back around you stretched and yawned “Morning Dog”. Getting up you followed the shepherd out of the alley way to you resided in. “What are we going to do today?” You mewed walking under the shepherd. Glancing below himself to look at you. “Well it hasn't been long since the storm. It's possible your mother may still be looking for you.” He said panting from the heat of the day. Blinking at that you looked up at the male then thought of your true family. Slowing to a stop as you thought, you never actually saw your mother or siblings dew to your eyes still being closed at the time. But you knew your mother had a very beautiful voice and lots of brothers and sisters because they were all loud and didn't bother with personal space. Turning to look at you as you looked to be lost in thought the canine walked back to you and took you by the scruff before going to the river side he had saved you from drowning. Putting you down and looking along the bank he spotted a shabby Tom cat lazing around on a trash bin not to far away. Not wanting to scare away the feline you were picked up again and brought over. Blinking back into reality you looked up at the albino then to where he was heading. Hearing a splash of a puddle the Tom cat opened his eyes to nearly jump out of his skin. “What de bloody ell is a must doin anywhere er!” The cat hissed fur already fluffing up. Putting you down “I'm just here to find this kit's mother. Have you seen or heard a mother looking for it's lost baby?” The shepherd barked sitting down and nudging you with his nose. Curling up into a ball at the sight of the Tom cat as he took a long look at you. Calming a little at the sight of you “Whas in it for me then?” The cat growled eyeing the shepherd wearily. Following the cat's movements you backed behind your caretakers front paws. Not bothering to watch the alley cat circling him “How about not being tossed in the river?” He said growling at the cat that stopped in front of him. Looking at the dog in front of him then thinking threw his options. “I haven't seen or heard a mother cat looken for her kid. Not at this end of London anyway.” The cat grunted jumping back onto the garbage bins. Laying back down and yawning out “Go try de countryside. I heard something about a missing kitten up there, now could you take your ugly mug outa here you're messing with my nap.” He yawned again as he fell asleep. Blinking “Really? Is it far away?” You asked looking up as you were picked up bit the scruff, “Yes it is. With how tiny you are it’ll take a few hours. Just hang tight we’ll be there in a bit.” He panted out as he took off at full speed toward the countryside. Watching as everything passed in a blur of people, buildings and carriages into more of a green is color. Slowing to a quick walk before stopping. After letting you down the shepherd laid down in a panting mess. “Dog, was it really that far?” You mewed licking his head. Glancing at you for a bit to catch his breath and moving his head to wrap his jaws gently around your middle then getting up. “Yeah it was far. Now back to business, find your litter.” He said with a huff as he looked around. Looking around as well as the sent of the air gave you a feeling of familiarity. You closed your eyes and continued to sniff the air. Watching you and walking along the dirt road until you turned your head a bit. Following your small movements until he came to an old abandoned house. Putting you down before sniffing around area the shepherd found an entrance to it. Opening your eyes widen you were out down you followed after the canine. Looking around you noticed round or rectangular lines on the walls along with a few scuff marks on the floor near the front door. “Seems like the family moved. Damn judging by the smell still hanging around they hadn't left to long ago, maybe a day or two.” He growled out before taking you by the scruff and leaving the building. Following the road down into a forested area, hoping to come across another house the sheppard kept his ears alert for any sounds. Stopping at the sound of children playing, you were put down to follow behind the grayish looking dog as he neared the growing sound of yelling and laughter as the trees thinned. Coming out of the trees and ducking down in a large bush. Watching through the leaves and branches you saw that it was a group of humans of near seven in total all various sizes. Smiling to yourself “A mother and father, two sons, two daughters and a baby in the arms of her mother having a small picnic! Can we have a picnic to? I can the fisherman to give some fish like always! It could be fun!” You purred happily at the thought of food and fun. Eyeing them wearily “Let's leave I smell something metallic near them.” the grayed canine said growling a bit and backing away only to step on a sharp thorn. In which made him give out a pained yelp. Flinching at the sound you were quickly picked as a large bang sounded. You had a small glimpse of the family as the mother looked horrified as the shepherd ran from the group fleeting group. “What was that sound? It was so loud!” You mewed this your ears drawn back to stop the slight ringing. Not getting an answer you looked up to see a pained expression in your friends eyes. “Stop running you're hurting yourself! There's a hill coming up slow down! Hey-” you weren't able to finish your words because you were tumbling down the hill alongside the shepherd who lost his hold on you. Crashing threw shrubbery, bushes and nearly missing trees by a wiscers fraction. You came to a stop at the bottom. Crying out in pain you opened your eyes to see your companion lying still on his side nearly ten passes away from you. Getting to your paws you stumbled your way next to his side. “Hey why didn't you stop? That really hurt.” You mewed out pawing at your protectors muzzle. Waiting for an answer you felt his temperature falling. “Are you cold? Is that why you're not answering me? Dog?” You asked using your front paws on his nose to move him a bit. Getting no answer you squeezed between his forelegs to lay by his chest. Snuggling into his side you​ got a whiff of something irony. Looking up at the dog you loved “I’ll try and keep you warm, okay? You just, just rest for a bit. Everything's gonna be okay soon, right?” you cried out as dark clouds started to roll in.
