Chapter 1 - Being Taken Down


"Everybody! The Demon Dogs are coming!" Trudy yelled slamming a long metal bar against the rail that led down a flight of stairs, her hair was a mess and her clothes were a bit dirty as she held Brady protectively to her chest.

Bray quickly climbed up the stairs with Amber right at his side and watched as everyone else filled up the room,"Well," He rubbed his hands on his pants and stood nervously, "Do we have any idea how to get them away from the mall?"

"I do!" Jack spoke out, raising his hand, even though he looked weary he was wide awake.

"Let's hear it!" Lex said leaning back in the seat he sat in, he only had his pants on and a muscle shirt, "Fire away."

Jack glared at him and walked up to Bray and Amber, "Well I could distract them for a while... Catch their attention! You know... And drive them away from the city."

"Why you?" Dal said standing up and Tai San hit him hard on the shoulder, "Ow... I mean you're the smallest of this tribe... Why can't someone else, someone more older and responsible do it... Like Lex or, or Bray... Maybe Amber or Ryan even, but you?" Dal walked up to Jack and looked him square in the eyes.

Lex nodded in approval, a smirk on his face and a dare embedded into his eyes.

"Well, I'm a lot smarter then you." Jack said looking at the others as he tried to back up his suggestion, Amber and Bray just stood there and nodded their heads.

"So... They'd take you down in a second if they catch you, they'd rip you to shreds, Jack." Dal said narrowing his eyebrows and gritting his teeth.

"That's my point, I may be small but I'm fast." Jack backed away from Dal, his ams at his side and his hands in fists.

"Are you sure of this Jack?" Bray asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Positive." Jack chirped out.

Dal opened his mouth to speak-

"Let the boy do it, he wants to." Lex said interrupting what Dal was gonna say, "Let him go." He sharply added.

"Ok...fine, you win." Bray said not wanting to start an argument, "Jack'll do it."

"But..." Dal started.

"Good luck Jack." Amber said hitting Dal in the stomach and smiled slightly, "Go out there and kick some ass," She said and looked over at Bray, who wasn't paying attention anymore.

"I will." Jack said and ran out of the mall and down the road, leaving the others behind, pondering what was going to happen next.

"He'll be ok, right Dal?" Amber asked looking out the door and then turned to look at Dal with a worried look on her face.

"Course not." Dal said with a positive look growing across his face and smiled at Amber, "He'll be fine Amber."

"All I have to do now is wait for them to show up." Jack said kicking a piece of broken cement across the road and walked around the corner of a crippled building, he was wearing red plaid pants and a blue over shirt covering his bare chest.


"Oh really? Who ya' waitin' for?"

Jack looked up and watched as fifteen men walked from around the corner of the building in front of him, stopped within ten yards before him and crossed their arms.

The Demon Dogs...

"Oh no." Jack whispered to himself, backing away a few steps and turned around. "Shit, I'm walking the wrong way... They're standing in front of the mall..." He turned back around to look at the Demon Dogs.

One of the men turned to another, "I got an idea, let's break both of his legs."

"Why?" Questioned another one of the men, he had short blue hair and blond streaks on the sides and a big black symbol planted on his forehead.

"So he can't walk anymore?" Guessed one of the men standing in the back, most likely asking to get slapped up side the head.

"No, Let's break all of his bones!"

"Sounds like a good idea ta' me." One of the other eleven said.

"Okay... Get him!" The one in the front yelled, Jack guessed this one to be the leader or maybe just a mere captain of his squad.

Jack gasped, standing in fear, his brown eyes gleamed against the high moon, he turned around once again and flew off down the road as the Demon Dogs began after him like a wave in the ocean.

~~~~~~~~~~

"I hope Jack'll be okay on his own..." Amber said walking out of the door a little. I'm so worried about him, he's just so little... You know he's so small."


Bray and Dal sighed, looking at each other and nodding.


Cloe smiled as she walked up to Amber and took the leader's hand in her's, "Jack's all good, Amber, he's all good."


Patsy nodded to her positively, "Yeah, all good!"

~~~~~~~~~~

Jack ran around the corner of a building, "I've got to get back to the mall." He said, and with a slight glance to the left, he tripped and fell to the ground.
