Separate roads

Chapter 6

Payton's pov September 7th. 4:00 pm

As I walked along the highway, I felt the gravel under my paws stinging with each step as shards of glass and rocks dug into my pads we had been walking for at least a week now.
We were headed to a rather large city, I honestly forgot the name.

My dad had hope's that I could join a pack there but I didn't want to, I don't wanna be in a pack if they can shun and cast out wolves like they did me and dad.

I know it's not the same people but still, I don't think I can trust anyone after what happened to mom.

I was suddenly pulled from my thoughts by my dad tugging on my scruff. "Payton hurry up there watching" I looked around then huffed as I realized there was no one.
Just my dad seeing things like he often does, I Straten my shoulders as to make dad more comfortable.

Cold air hits my muzzle as cars drive by, I suddenly feel something hard hit my face I jump back as a can roles off the road and into the ditch, I look up to see kids glaring at me and flipping me off as they drive by rather slowly I snarl and keep walking. "* Whats wrong with me why do people hate me *" I thought to myself feeling more and more worthless every second.

6:00 pm)

2 hours later were getting closer, about half an hour away from town and I was ready to give. My paws were pooling in blood with every step I took and I was starving.

I felt like I was going to vomit my insides out I was at this point skin and bone I hadn't eaten in three weeks except for a few small scraps here and there and before this I didn't eat well anyway, I was not allowed to be in my human form and at this point I didn't want to, the hunger would only get worse and I doubt I could even stay conscious for that kind of pain.

"Hay Payton?" I heard my dad mumble from my back, *Yea dad?* I responded through our mind link "when we get into town head to the Valen manor ask for shelter there kind they may take us in for a night, DONT YOU DARE break down on me...you can do this" he said angerly.

I slowed my pace, not only did he want me to turn back into my human form but he wanted me to go to the one place I thought id never go, I knew he'd make me one way or another I just though wed settle before I had to go beg for a pack, besides with my health they'd surely never except me. *Yes dad...*

It was now 6:40, I was on my way to the Valen residence. I knew where it was just by the smell but I also knew there were more than 12,000 full dumpsters waiting for me in this city and I'm headed right towards one.

I'm glad dads not awake he would probably beat me if he caught me eating. I crept up to the rather large ally dumpster, it was a bar dumpster I could tell from the heavy smell of blood drugs alcohol and human body odor.

That didn't deter my appetite one bit, I nuzzled through the bags until I found one that had food I grabbed it, a piece of glass had dug its way into my mouth and my nose was covered in foul sour alcohol id probably puke this backup.

I opened the bag when I had set it on the ground in front of me immediately smells wafted out of the plastic bag I saw a half-eaten burger fries and various other food items among heap loads of old grees and broken bottles.

I quickly nuzzled my way in and gulped down half the contents of the bag, some of it stinging and cutting my through as it went down the grees washing over my tongue almost too powerful and revolting but I kept eating. I tore open several more bags and gulped down as much as I could from all of them, I was so full I had almost forgotten the pain in my feet but now there was pain everywhere else.

Almost as quickly as it went down it all came back up my stomach acid seeping into all the cuts the glass had made on the way down my through stung even more so much pain shot through my body as tons of the putrid liquid flowed out my mouth pooling at my feet contaminating my torn bruised pads making it almost unbearable to stand.

Tears fell from my face as I continued to hack even though there was nothing to hack up, pain coursing through my body with each spasm of my chest. I had forgotten my dad was still on my back until I felt a sharp tug of my head followed by what I could only assume was my dad repeatedly hitting me, and the next thing I knew I was on the ground covered in my own liquids shaking as the whole world went dark.

Dan's pov 6:50)

I kept running I ran and ran until I was lost amongst the city streets, I rarely come this deep into the city but I had to get away from him and myself. I tucked my hands into my jean pockets and walked I knew they'd find me soon, there are eyes everywhere but mine as well use the time I had.
