(Just to send muse of suffering into meltdown...ENJOY!)
Disclaimer: I only own Lydia.
I made a low growling sound in my throat.
The wolf turned his head my way cautiously appraising me before deciding I wasn't a threat.
"Here Boy!" I urged.
Something in my voice soothed him, made my wish his command...
He wagged his tail and pranced over to me happily enough.
"Good boy! Would you please help me take care of someone?"
He seemed to lose interest in me.
I knew you had to explain what you wanted to animals, so I continued.
"That woman is holding a human pup under the water, so please help him...I'd do it myself, but I can't..."
His ears perked up when I said pup.
He looked at me and back at Mrs. Ray.
His warm brown eyes understood my plea.
With all the stealth of a predator, and grace of a dancer he closed in on Mrs. Ray.
He was right behind her now....
His attack wasn't what I thought it would be, it was funnier...
He clamped his teeth down on her rear, and she commenced to squalling.
She jumped around, and when he did let go, she left Charles and ran for home.
The wolf dragged Charles from the water.
My heart sank.
Charles wasn't breathing.
