Me: Hey guys. Sorry I didn't update sooner, but my Internet stopped working on Wednesday night and my dad hasn't fixed the damn problem yet. So, sorry for making you wait for this chapter when I said I'd update this weekend.

Robin's POV:
We were lost.
Slade and I didn't recognize anything. Slade was ahead of me and he was sniffing the air.
"If Blood Rain were here, he'd be able to find the way home," Slade said.
I wasn't listening and I thought I heard something. I found the source of the noise and a human came out from behind the trees. Slade growled and he stood in front of me.
"Yo! Dad! I found two wolves!"
Two more humans came out from the trees and one, I assumed, was the dad and the other, a little boy who had to be the teenager's brother.
"Hey there," the father said after he knelt down and extended his hand. "Come here, I won't hurt you."
"They look lost," the teenager said.
"Come on, we'll help you find your way."
"They just want to help," I said. "They look friendly."
Slade continued to growl and my ears drooped.
"The bigger one has only one eye," the teenager said.
"They just want to help Slade," I said. "Please."
Slade's growl was in his throat now and he walked cautiously towards the humans. I smiled and wagged my tail and I too started walking towards the humans.
"Time to put your fighting skills to the test Robin," Slade said.
I stopped.
"Wait. What?" Before I knew it, Slade jumped at the father and he sunk his teeth into his neck. "NO!"
The father fell over and blood splattered the ground.
"Dad!"
The teenager tackled Slade and he was trying to force him off of his dead father. Slade rammed the back of his head into the teenager's forehead and he fell off of Slade. Then Slade jumped on the teenager and he bit into the teenager's neck too. He moved his head while he hung to the teenager's neck and blood was flowing down his mouth. The little boy stood back in fear and I went to help him.
But Slade beat me to him and he killed the little kid too. Slade stepped back and I stood behind him, growling.
"Why did you do that for?" I screamed in anger. "They only wanted to help! You didn't have to-ARRRRRRRRRRRP!"
I fell to the ground and Slade hovered over me like an ominous black cloud.
"Don't be foolish Robin," Slade said dangerously. "They would have tried killing us."
I stood up in anger and I was literally pissed.
"They were just trying to help!" I shouted, tears forming in my eyes in pain and anger. "How is that trying to kill us?"
"That's what humans want you to think Robin!" Slade shouted. "They'll either sell us off or kill us!"
"No, that's what you want me to think!" I shouted. "If you kill humans are you any better?"
Slade didn't answer and he was growling slightly. When he did speak, it was totally off topic.
"We're wasting time."
He started walking, but I wouldn't budge.
"No."
Slade stopped and he turned around.
"What did you just say?"
"You heard me."
Slade's eye narrowed and he walked up to me. He was right in my face and our noses were practically touching.
"If you don't keep walking, I'll turn back around and kill your friends," he said dangerously.
"You… wouldn't," I said defiantly.
"Watch me."
We stared each other down and Slade was winning. I walked back few steps and I tore my gaze away from him and I walked past him.
"I'll never let you endanger my friends."
I started running and it took a few seconds for Slade to register.
"Robin!"
If you want to catch me, you won't be able to kill my friends at the same time.
I could hear Slade running after me and I ran faster. I ran past a lot of trees and the path started clearing.
Before I knew it, I was falling over towards a river and I fell in.
SPLASH!
I floated towards the bottom of the river and water filled my lungs. I heard a splash above me and even though my vision was blurry, I saw another wolf swimming down to me. The wolf swam past me and he was behind me. He grabbed the scruff of my neck and he pushed off the bottom of the river. I closed my eyes and a few seconds later, I breathed in fresh air. I was being dragged across the river and two minutes later, I felt soft ground underneath me. I was shivering from the coldness of the water and I was taking in a ton of air. The wolf, who I knew was Slade, covered his body on mine and he was trying to keep me warm.
"I-I'm s-sorry."
"Q-quiet Robin," Slade said. "Don't y-you ever do th-that to me again."
"I w-want t-to go h-home."
"We're almost home," Slade said. "I-I promise."
Slade's POV:
I admit I was scared when I saw Robin falling into the water. I jumped right in after him and he was floating towards the bottom of the icy waters. I feared for his life and more importantly mine. Because if Robin died, then I would die along with him. But I was also angry that he had done it and I would punish him once we got home. Luckily he landed in the river where Rocco and I first met his friends, so we were only three days away from home. Robin was shivering uncontrollably for two hours and he kept stating the obvious that he was cold. I didn't say a word 'cause I was cold too, but Robin was colder.
An hour later he stopped shivering and the sun was going down, but his body jerked every few minutes because of his muscles. He probably had a fever too because that water was just too cold. He had fallen asleep and I was looking at him with a frown on my face.
I felt the way I did when I first took Robin and when he slept by me. I had a smile on my face then and I soon fell asleep after he did, but now… I wasn't smiling.
I rolled away from him and I stood up. I walked over to the water and I looked at my reflection. But what looked back at me wasn't what I once was.
Instead, I was an empty, hated shell and I only cared about myself.
Me: Slade's still being an ass and he still only cares about himself. He only fears for his life, not Robin's, but if he allows Robin to die, he will die along with him.
It's time to congratulate Sunset15 for guessing my idea for Slade's dream last chapter. I got the idea from "Apprentice 1" when Robin dreams about fighting Slade.
CONGRATULATIONS SUNSET15!
Anyways, she got 2 cyber cookies and I'm giving her a hug right now. Please review and next chapter will be posted sometime next week. :3
