Our plan was going to be full proof because we needed to get our member back. But since it's getting dark, we decided to bunk down for the night. But I was still out trying to get food for us. Everyone had gone back to the houseboat to wait for me. The usual place that I get our food is by the bay because most humans dispose of their food in that area. It relatively quiet but I was on the lookout for anything suspicious. Besides, it was my turn to find us something to eat anyway. I trotted along the old concrete of the bay and I kept my german shepherd nose to the ground to sniff around the area. When I finally found something, it satisfied me because it looked suitable enough for us to eat.
But before I could get my teeth around it to pick it up, the sound of menacing growling caused me to freeze up as well as the chuckling of an evil man. When I slowly turned around, it was that Sykes guy with Roscoe and Desoto. They were in a fighting position with their teeth bared. "So, you're one of Fagin's mutts? Heh heh, that's fine. When he finds out what I've done to his mutt, he'll pay me even faster." Sykes said sinisterly. I bare my teeth and let out a growl to show that I wasn't backing down from his threat. The doberman's were ready to fight me one Sykes's signal. The dobermans started surrounding me in menacing growls. I began to back up with my head lowered and my teeth bared. "We'll go easy on you, you half breed." Roscoe chuckled evilly. "Yeah, so don't move around too much." Desoto said. Just then, the man snaps his fingers. Before I knew it, I could feel their strong teeth in my fur and skin.
I growl loudly and deliver some blows myself to their necks. The use their heads to push me over and they ended up biting me more than once and I yelped loudly from the pain of their bites. As much as I tried to fight back, they pressure of their blows and bites were too much for me to bear. One of them grabbed ahold of my back fur and skin and they threw me against a couple of trash cans with a loud crash. The dobermans weren't finished with me though… They grabbed me by my forelegs and they instantly threw me aside with a couple of rolls. The more they attacked me, the more hurt I was getting. I wanted one of the guys to help me. I was feeling helpless at this point. I can't take on two dobermans by myself…
All I could feel was their teeth piercing my skin and their devastating blows. When I tried fighting back, they only came at me twice as strong. Then, Sykes snapped his fingers once again to signal the dobermans to stop attacking me. The last thing they did was throw me on the bay and I let out a pained whine. My eyes were shut tightly and I bared my teeth from the pain those dobermans put on me. I pulled my german shepherd paws up to me from the pain and I whined quietly from the inflicted bites from the dobermans, who walked away from me chuckling at my suffering and they left me there to let me wallow in my pain.
Every part of my body was hurting me so much. Those dogs hurt me so much by their master's demand. Did they do this because of me being half german shepherd or was this another attempt to make Fagin pay him faster? This is just cruel… With heavy breaths, I used what strength my body had and used it to push it to my german shepherd paws and groaned from how much the teeth marks were hurting me. My legs were hurting greatly and I bared my fangs from the pain and my ears were laying limply on my head. I think some of my fur was ripped out of my body as well. I had both my head lowered along with my fluffy tail to where it wasn't moving as much. But the pain in my body was too much for me to bear and I stopped walking. Just then, my weight gave out on me and I fell to my right side. My head was stretched out and my vision I hadn't realized that I had passed out from how much pain I was in. I couldn't get up to make it back to the gang.
When I was beginning to wake up, I found that I was laying on my bean bag chair. I didn't hear nothing at first but then begin to hear the voices of the gang. "Look, she's waking up!" Einstein exclaimed. I open my eyes slowly to see that I was back in the houseboat surrounded by the gang, who had worried expressions on their faces. "Rose, are you alright?" Rita asked in a soft tone. Einstein used his large nose to help me up a little bit so that my forelegs were in front of me but I was slouched a little as I was still sore from those dobermans hurting me like they did. "My whole body is sore." I said groaning from how sore I was. "Who did this to you?! I will tell them limb from limb!" Tito sneered, ready to attack the ones who attacked me. When trying to move, it hurt so much. "It was those dastardly dobermans… They attacked me." I say through a groan. Everyone was taken aback by those words because they didn't expect this to happen.
"Those ruffians! They'll pay for this!" Francis said, clearly mad about what those dobermans did this to me. "Why did they do this? Surely they wouldn't have done it just for fun." Dodger questioned, looking at me with a tilted head and concerned eyes. "They… they did this to me because they believe that it'll make Fagin pay him faster…" I groan, laying my head in between my forelegs. Everyone was appalled by this because this is no way that Fagin would pay that man faster because of this. "This is getting out of hand. They'll surely pay for this. But in the meantime, you should rest for now." Rita suggested, staying next to me. Both of my ears laid back all the way and I looked down because of sore and quite shaken up by being attacked those dobermans with no chance of fighting back. I did try to fight back but… they easily overpowered me despite me being half german shepherd. If it was only one of them then I would fight them but two, I didn't stand a chance…
Rita, being the mother figure of my life, jumped up on the bean bag chair with me and she laid next to me. The others, despite being upset that one of their own getting hurt by Roscoe and Desoto, decided to stay with me instead of going to their confined areas. Needless to say, we didn't forget about the mission about getting the cat back from that house but I needed to go with them to get him and I'm not in the right shape to go anywhere. All I did was close my eyes and try to go back to sleep. Resting in my main priority right now. At least I have the next couple of days to rest and heal up. Those dobermans will pay for what they did to me.
