Dear diary

by Skovko

A quiet day at the dog park turns into something more. Baron's dog Xander knocks over a young woman who's running from two men. She drops her backpack in the collision. All he sees is a tattoo and her eyes. Eyes that won't leave his mind. He grabs her backpack and decides to find her to give it back. Inside he finds a diary revealing things that brings out his protective nature.

1. Knocked down by a dog

It was a nice day with high sunshine and Baron was enjoying it outside in the dog park with his dog Xander. Xander was off the leash but stayed close. Not many people were there this early in the day and he enjoyed it being quiet. The feeling didn't last long.

Xander suddenly looked up, his mouth opened with drool hanging out, all of his attention in one direction.

"What's up, boy?" Baron asked and turned his head in the direction Xander was looking.

Someone was running towards them fast. By the small size he guessed it was a woman or a young boy. The person had a hoodie on that covered the entire face and a backpack over one shoulder. Xander wiggled his tail, thinking this person running towards them wanted to play.

"No, Xander!" Baron shouted but it was too late.

Xander jumped up on the small body, making the person fall to the ground with a scream. Definately a female by the sound. She dropped her backpack in the collision. Baron quickly grabbed Xander's collar and yanked him back.

"Sorry about that," he said as he looked down at the body on the ground.

The hoodie had slid up her back, revealing a tattoo of a dolphin on her lower back.

"There she is!" Someone shouted.

She immetiately turned her head up to look in the direction and all Baron saw was her blue eyes. Piercing, ice cold, blue eyes. He lost his breath.

"Shit!" She hissed and jumped to her feet, taking off running again.
"Hey wait, your backpack," he tried but she was already far away.

He picked it up and swung it over his shoulder. He was still holding on to Xander's collar with his other hand as two men came charging full speed past him.

"Where the fuck did she go?" One of them shouted to the other, never stopping though.

Baron put the leash back on Xander and slowly started walking away. He had no idea what had just gone down but either the woman was in trouble or she was trouble itself. He knew he should stay far away from this. He didn't know her or the two men but he had her backpack and it would be the right thing to do to find her and give it back to her. Besides, he couldn't let go of the image of those ice cold eyes. They were frozen in his mind.
