chapter 38

all at once, the dogs ambushed you, nipping, snarling and biting at you at every angle. you did your absolute best to keep them at bay, swatting at muzzles, bitting at ears, clinging to backs and bellies, but each time, you were met with powerful jaws clamping over you. the dog behind you was yelping and barking, clearly not enjoying the show. please stop this! "BARK BARK!" he'd beg, jumping and pulling the chain that bound him. it's me you want! "ARF ARRUF!" the sick villagers however... were enjoying it quite a bit. Barrymore, specifically.

"be rid of that bad cat!"

"yes! punish that creature!"

"get it good!"

"rip it apart like the bad cat it is!"

at this rate, you are covered in dirt, bruises, cuts and bites. but you held your ground, making sure to keep them a safe distance away from late James' dog. at some point, you were grabbed by your scruff, into a dog's powerful jaws and shaken violently like a toy before being thrown into the cobblestone wall. this stunned you quite a bit, but to the dog's shock, you got right back to your paws, albiet wobbly. that was when you leapt onto the burly black dog and clung to his face, clawing his cheeks and brow and biting his ears. he yelps and howls, whipping his head this way and that way, until you finally lose your grip and fly off, of course landing on your feet. the dog looked at you, absolutely astonished, but a bit irritated.

you know you're delaying the inevitable! just stop now and runaway! can't you see that your efforts are useless!? "BARK!" he panted irritability. you smirked and shook your head. not completely. "mreow." you say smuggly, crouching down, to relieve your already aching paws and burning limbs. you've seen the light of your deeds. and that's more than enough for me. not to mention the blood I'm shedding now is for you as well. to prevent you from getting hurt, or punished. and maybe it'll prevent the punishment from involving James' dog. "mreow." the black dog's eyes widened slightly, taken aback by how selfless you were, but bows his head briefly. your efforts will be remembered, cat. "rrrrgh..." he says lowly as the dogs behind him start to close in. godspeed, little feline. "BArk!" with that, they run at you, teeth bared and vicious barks. Before you knew it, your body was covered in the numbing pain of dog bites... feeling every square in of your body being crushed by the jaws of a dog's vice like jaws...

"STOP THIS!! LEAVE HER ALONE NOW!! LET HER GOOO!!"

your eyes shoot open as you recognize the usually chipper young man's voice. uh oh. you snap your head up to see Finny running at you with a massive wooden stake, waving it around threateningly. at once the dogs scattered at his presence and the bound dog skittered back against the wall. You were plopped onto the hard ground, panting, unable to believe your luck. he immediately scooped you up and held you into his chest with surprising gentleness. Finny! you're gonna get into trouble now..! "mmreoow..!" you asked hoarsely, bringing a calloused, bloody paw to his face and rubbed away his tears. behind him, the phantomhives stood in front of him, as if they were shielding him. he stared down at you, hysterical in tears. "Poor little (name).." he sniffled, cradling you tenderly. Ciel knelt down beside you, cupping your cheek. It doesn't look it on the outside, but you saw all of the worry and concern in his one sapphire eye. I'm sorry, sir... the bound dog, James' dog, quickly trotted up to you, sniffing you in concern. you did just that! why? "rrrrrrrhhh..?" he whimpered between his teeth. you shook your head. you're a good dog. you deserve a better fate. "mreow." you simply reply.
-------------

well, this is unfortunate. You thought bleakly as you looked at the phantomhive members around you. the servants bound and gagged to a massive wooden stake and your master chained to a wall like an animal. beside him was James' dog, looking on with concern at you. you were still sore and numb from fighting a bunch of dogs, so you couldn't really squirm as Harry held you by your scruff, dangling you in front of his face, seemingly enjoying that defeated look you had. he sways you slightly from side to side, snickering. "not so powerful now, are you?" he snarls, directing it more towards you than ciel.

"Master, I beg you, show mercy this one time!" you heard Angela's frightened voice. "these people don't deserve the punishment! Especially that kitten! Please spare her!" he snickers and looks you in the eye. "you have a point." he turns to ciel. "this little pomeranian is the queen's guard dog after all. Along with his little rat.." he sounded quite smug. "if he can be made to see reason, then perhaps I'll decide to let him go." he raises his voice slightly. "leave this village and advise her majesty never to send her minions near it again!" he sneers at you. "especially these things.." you flinch as he tightens his grip on your scruff.

instead of submitting, ciel gives a rather cocky grin. "you're so pathetic, you rely on lowly tricks to retain your meeker power. if there's a stubborn dog here, I'd say I'm looking at him." he then directs his gaze to you. "isn't that correct, dear?" you look at the man for a split second before nodding. Well... he's more of a donkey then a doggy! "mreow!" you reply smuggly. you smirk as ciel repressed a snicker. Still got it. Harry scoffed. "if that's your final choice, then you can learn what happens to a dog that challenges me!" with that, he throws you to the ground, right at the bound dog's paws. you laid there defeatedly huffing in pain. poor kitty... "rrrrrrhh..." the dog before you whimpers, pressing his nose into your shoulder, giving it a few licks. that was when harry points at you. "get them!"

but... you your surprise... the dogs were actually hesitant. instead, they stared somberly at you. you stared back at them, slightly astonished by the fact they disobeyed for once. they did trot a few paces toward you, but they paused when they were a foot away. Oh...? "how astonishing!" a smooth voice sounds from somewhere. out of nowhere, that demon Butler himself lands in front of ciel. "even low creatures like these know when to kneel before the higher being." Harry glares daggers at sebastian. "you dare to interfere, dog!?" he returns his attention to the dogs. "what are you mange mutts waiting for, kill them now!" he orders.

you stagger to your paws and face the burly black dog, a proud glint in your eyes. you have made a bold choice. I knew you had it in you. "puuurerow." you purr, flicking your tail happily. the black dog before you bows his head slightly. can't afford to lose ballsy animals like you here. think nothing of it. "Rrrrrrfphh." he snorts, a hint of humor in his tone. his he steps back, gratitude shining in his eyes. your nobility and humbleness isn't to go unnoticed. this is our thank you. for your selflessness for our kind. "Rrrrr.." he and his pack step back and lay down before you, almost like they were bowing.

the crowd behind them gasp at the display and Harry was especially bewildered. "what the hell!? what did that cat do!?" you look up at him, and for the first time, show an emotion to him. a cocky smirk stretches your mouth, and you show a bloody glint of teeth. he gasps at this. "your farce ends here, Barrymore!" ciel suddenly calls. you turn to face him. He raises his head and raises his voice loud and clear.

"there is no demon hound!"
