Street Bound

Chapter 21

She was dropped as she landed with an umph.  She looked around her surroundings looking at all the viscous dogs snapping and snarling. The first two dogs were white pit bulls with a little black on their snout. She took note that they were most likely twins. The next dog was brown with a white patch on her chest. Her one ear stood up while the other flopped over. The final dog was a black and white fluffy male who stood proud.

Raven gulped at her competition. It was going to be much harder to escape then she thought. "You won't be escaping this time pest" Keesha snapped at her about her tooth nicking it just a little drawing blood. Raven bit her tongue to stop the yelp that so badly wanted to escape her. Keesha turned tail and trotted back towards the woods.

Raven couldn't see much after the other four dogs turned and blocked her view from seeing Keesha. "Alright you little brat it's time for some fun" The male white Pitbull spoke loudly and his sister chuckled with him as she snapped at Raven hind quarters. The black and white dog spoke up "Come on guys do we really need to do this? Can't we just leave her alone. She seems harmless." He spoke with sincerity as Raven nodded her head at the harmless part although she wasn't exactly harmless. The brown female chuckles while her teeth were being fully shown as Raven gulped imagining the teeth puncturing her skin.

"Come On Milo you really think letting her go is in the best interest? Imagine what Keesha would do to us if she found out we let the prisoner go." The female spoke with no reason as all. She spoke from pure fear and Raven could sense this. She quickly formulated a plan in her head. "If I may.. I have a solution to your problems. Come back with me, and join my pack. We are always in need of some more dogs and we are the good guys. We don't go looking for trouble unlike Keesha. What do you say?" The three, the two pit bulls, and brown shepherd busted out laughing in hysterical, while the black and white dog, Milo, stood there emotionless. "That's the funniest thing I've heard all day." The female pit snapped closely to Raven muzzle. Raven jumped back as a reflux, but that was a bad choice as it made her seem weak, and pathetic. Someone she used to be. She never wanted to be that dog again. Ever.

She charged forward again snapping her jaws. "I'm not weak like some of you think I am. I've probably survived worse shit than any of you pathetic mutts who joins a dog who thinks pressuring you into working for her is the right thing to do!" She finished panting out of breathe. Again the three laughed hysterically. "Y-You think we were forced!" The three laughed so hard there was tears coming to their eyes. "I mean I would just assume pussy ass dogs like you were roped in." They didn't laugh at this comment instead they turned to her teeth bared and hackles raised. All the dogs except the Milo fellow. He stayed back his ears turned downward looking rather ashamed of himself.

The other three dogs lunged at Raven as she took off full speed toward the dense forest area and out of the open field. Her leg had a shooting pain up the leg she injured escaping last time. She whined a little, but didn't stop running as if she stopped running she would get mauled alive by three secretly pissed off dogs. Her leg felt as if it were on fire. She cringed as she felt the fire grow up her leg into her back end causing her to slow her pace some. The dogs catching up easily. Before they could lunge though. A flash of silver, black, and brown lunged in front snarling and standing and protecting Raven. It was Lyla, and Bronx! They came for her! In perfect timing as well. Lyla raised her lip snarling, her ears pulled back she let out a threatening bark as Bronx did the same. "I suggest you back off." Her tongue flicked out licking her pearly white teeth.

The brown female chuckled "Oh look the pip-squeak squad is here to save the day!" She female smirked showing her extra large teeth as well. "Your outnumbered pesky mutts. Four to three. Your out." The male pit finished his sentence with his chest puffed out and hackles still raised high. Milo the last of the four came trailing in his ears still down. He didn't look like he belonged in the group, yet he was still there anyway. Raven heard a rumble behind her as she stood up off the ground her leg still on fire, but she ignored it watching as Sasha, her pup Amber, Zeus,Zuma,Acer,and Nix all stood there behind Raven, Lyla, and Bronx. The entire pack was here to defend her and she couldn't be more happy. She was also happy to seem Zuma on her paws again looking healthy again.

Suddenly from behind the group came Keesha lurching forward jumping in front of the group. She was snickering in a deep voice "YES! YES! This is just what I wanted. The whole pack together so I can get this all over with at once." She stomped her paws as Bobo the chihuahua cane standing next to Keesha. 'How is she alive?' Raven pondered but not for long as more dogs lined up behind them all. They were outnumbered once more, but one thing was for sure. They wouldn't go down without a fight.
