I leant back on my black swivel chair, playing about with a small blade. Twirling it in-between my fingers. I sighed as I looked around my pink room. I had just finished my video chat with my dad. He told me he was going to be sending Cujo to Paris to look after me now that I'm a young woman. Cujo is my pet dog, my dad got me him when I was a baby. Then a gang war broke out and then he made me and Mama move to Paris for protection. Cujo stayed behind with him. We talk every once in a while. And we are close but, we never really hang out in person, due to distances.

I sigh putting the blade down. I was bored, I had nothing to do. I stood up and paced around the room. I grabbed my phone and walked out the bakery and house, hugging my mother and Tom as I left. I told Mama about Cujo and that I was going to fetch him from the airport.

She nodded her head and went to go gather the dog stuff from the basement. I wondered through the streets off Paris, making my way to the airport to get Cujo.

At Airport

I stood at the front desk and waited patiently for the front desk lady to get Cujo from the back. I heard grunting from the side, I turned my head and saw the small red haired lady struggle to walk, holding back Cujo.

He broke free from her grip and bounded towards me, knocking me to the floor. I laughed as I rubbed his black silky fur, the women panted hard, she politely smiled at me as I messed up Cujos' fur.
"Thank you" I say, getting to my feet. Receiving a nod from the receptionist. I took Cujos' chain in my hand with a firm grip.
"Let's go boy" I tell him, waving bye to the receptionist. We walked of, getting strange looks from strangers. I mean, it looks weird, a small girl walking a very big dog. I internally laughed at the thought.
We walked into the park, the chain digging into my skin. Mothers looked at me with worry as they picked up their young children and leaving in a hurry. I smile sweetly as I crouched down so I was face to face with Cujo.
"Who's my harmless baby? Huh?" I ask him taking his face in my hands.
"Mari?" a voice asked me, I looked up at the source, standing up abruptly.
"Adrien. Kagami" I say recognising the blonde and the other girl.
They looked at me with worry.
"Mari, step away from the dog" Adrien said in a soft voice, holdong out his hand. He acted as if I were in danger. I opened my mouth to reply but got interrupted.
"Looks like I found myself a pretty little lady to play with" A drunken slur said behind me. Everything went in slow motion. He went to grab me. Kagami pulled me back out of his reach. Cujo reached up, sinking his fangs into the drunk guys hand. Then it went back to normal. I was in between Adrien and Kagami, Cujo was tearing the guys hands to shreds. I reached forward grabbing his chain pulling him back.
"Cujo. Down! Cujo!" I yell separating the dogs mouth from the nans arm. I rubbed Cujos' snout gently.
The guy ran clutching his hand.
I turned round with a sheepish grin.
I looked at Kagami, on the floor. Because she passed out.
"What. The. Actual. Hell. Mari?" Adrien asked. His voice low.
