Stopping in their tracks, the dogs looked up. Praying that his assumption was wrong, Ozone followed his gaze. Sure enough, there was Tiberius perched upon a rusty old fire escape railing. Why he was here, the Sphynx cat hadn't a clue. Gulping, he backed away slowly while the lead dog sneered, "And why should I little birdie?" He and his pal burst out laughing at that.
They weren't laughing for long.
Letting out an ear splitting screech, Tiberius swooped down at the dogs with outstretched talons. Hiding behind a dumpster like the coward he was, Ozone peered around the shiny metal. All he could see was a blur of fur and feathers. Growls and shrieks could be heard. The cat would catch a glimpse of blood as red as a rose at times. Then there was one very high pitched yelp and the dogs ran off, one missing his ear.
"Nice talk fellas! Why don't you go home to your mother now and cry yourself to sleep?!" Tiberius yelled, panting heavily. He stood on one good leg and his right eye was swelling up. One of his wings hung by his side limply. Huffing, he turned around and looked at Ozone, who had crept out of his hiding place. Shaking his head, he muttered, "Nitro's looking for you." With that, he walked away.
Ozone just stood there, absolutely speechless by what just happened.
