Blind Love Part 1
*****
Jason wearily walked towards his apartment. He shifted his shoulders slightly to accommodate the added weight of his backpack. It had been a long day. Kanna had had an appointment at the veterinarian and it turned out she was pregnant. 'Finally too! She's seven years old. There's still more than enough time to train the puppies.'
He stopped at the intersection. He hated this part the most. All he needed was for one jackass to pull out and he was part of the pavement. Then he would come to in the middle of town and there would be trouble. He could see it now. A local news station showing up to do a report on a store being robbed and finding him. Immortals everywhere would loathe him. He shuddered, not wanting to think about it.
"Rowl?" Kanna nudged him and he went across the street. Soon, he would be home.
He came to the alley that he used as a shortcut to get to his apartment. A wave of an Immortal Presence washed over him. 'Shit.'
He reached in his coat and pulled out his sword. A shot rang out. He could hear the sound of a soft body hitting the ground. A whimper reached his ears. "Kanna!"
He dropped his sword and moved towards the sound of her cries. Just as he reached for her, a large hand gripped his arm.
"Well, well, well... What have we here?" The voice belonged to a man. By his tone, it was clear what was on his mind. "Aren't you a pretty one? I can make good use of you." He ran his hands over the boy's body. Now Jason really felt sick.
"Stop…" Jason said in a shaky voice. He was terrified. He had met many monsters like him before. Men who wanted him just for sex. He could still remember his father's hands touching him like this. He could still remember how he died that first time. And it still haunted him.
A set of teeth nibbled on his ear. "Enjoying yourself yet?" The man's callused hands moved towards the boy's groin. Jason could feel his shirt being ripped off his body as an erection pushed against his spine. 'Why always me?' He knew it was because he was so vulnerable. But he couldn't help but hope that this torture would end.
Another Presence overcame them. A shadow blocked out the moon.
"Daniel Quinn... I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod…" The Highlander held his katana in his clenched hands as he walked into the alley. He was prepared to kill this man. He was notorious for killing pre-Immortals. Just last week he had killed a young woman who never even knew that she was to be Immortal. And that simply could not go unpunished. He was looking to avenge her.
"Isn't that nice." Quinn sneered as he continued to feel Jason up.
Kanna drew herself up to her feet. Her master was in trouble. She lunged at the man with all her strength and bit his leg. "Damn mutt!" He kicked the dog away and turned his concentration back to his victim.
Connor glanced at the dog lying prone on the cold ground. Then he looked at the boy. 'Shit…why doesn't he fight?' The Highlander knew he couldn't raise a finger. If he did, this boy would be history. Then it hit him…
The dog wore a strange looking harness instead of a leash. The boy was looking around, not really seeing him, eyes of silver shining. He was blind! The dog was a Seeing Eye Dog. It made sense now. The boy couldn't see his opponent to be able to fight him fairly.
Connor growled angrily. Leave it to this creep to use the boy's blindness to his advantage. 'I can't let him hurt that boy!' He lifted his sword and charged at him. He was going to walk away from here with a clear conscience if it cost him his arm.
"Hey! Why don't ya pick on someone your own size?"
"Very well…" Quinn tossed the boy aside and started fighting. He may have been big, but Connor was angry. Soon, the Highlander severed Quinn's head.
He wasn't expecting it to be so powerful. Quinn had taken many heads; many of them very old and strong. He could see every sick thing that had been done by this man. Literally hundreds of men, women and children had been used as his sex toys. And that boy would have been next.
The Quickening lasted forever. At least it felt that way. Glass from shattered windows covered the ground and his body ached.
When he was able to stand he looked for the boy. He was curled into a tight ball shivering. He lay in a puddle of muddy water. It had started raining during the light show. The dog was lying beside him still bleeding from the gun wound.
"Hey…You okay?" He knelt by the boy and brushed his damp bangs off his forehead. A pair of beautiful silver eyes stared up towards him. "I'm Connor MacLeod."
Jason was bleeding as well, though it didn't look too bad. But still… 'I can't just leave him here. Home. I'll take him home.'
"J—Jason." A cough erupted from his throat and he collapsed against his chest. "Kanna… is she…" He coughed some more.
Connor couldn't do anything for Jason so he turned his attention to the dog. She gazed up at him with soulful eyes. She knew that her time had come. She would no longer be able to protect her master. The look she gave Connor spoke volumes. 'Care for him. He is so lonely.'
Jason felt tears well up in his eyes as he heard the pained whimpers cease. She was dead. And so were her puppies.
"I'm sorry." Connor rested a hand on his shoulder.
"Not… your fault." Jason collapsed against the Highlander's chest, unconscious.
'Great. I didn't even find out where he lives.' He reached into the boy's coat pocket and searched for some I.D. If there was any, it had been lost during the struggle. "Well, Jason…Looks like you're coming home with me tonight."
