Chapter 3: Emotional Turmoil
"What?"
"Get you tranquilizer!"
The dog was gaining on us. This can not be happening!
Dad's POV
How did my son get himself into this situation?
I sprinted to my work truck. I snagged my Animal Control tranquilizer gun and waited sitting in the front seat of the truck.
I saw two animals chasing Leo, but they looked nothing like what I've seen before. I decided to get them both.
I readied my gun and aimed.
My POV
I saw Dad with his gun ready and aimed, but something didn't feel right.
As soon as I realized what it was, terror struck at time slowed to a crawl.
Dad was aiming at the wrong animal!
Shoom!
I saw on of the tranquilizers slowly shoot with a trajectory heading straight towards the innocent dog/fox animal.
"NOOOOO!"
Without hesitation, I jumped in front of the dart.
Thwak!
The world spun at it quickly went dark.
Dad's POV
I squeezed the trigger.
"NOOOOO!"
I couldn't believe my eyes. My son jumped in front of my dart. Suddenly, an intense emotion hit me. Pure Terror.
Dog's POV
I've got them now!
Shoom! Thwak!
I jerked my head towards the sound.
A two-leg shot his own kit. An unfamiliar feeling enveloped me. Pure Terror.
