I'll be trailing you the entire time. If you need help, shout. I'll hear you. If you can't shout, try to knock something over and I'll come running in. If at any time I feel like you're in some kind of danger, I will come bursting in.

Danny looked ready to protest a bit, but a glare from me kept his mouth shut. Smart boy.

He continued on his path and I merged into the shadows.

This is it.

I tailed Danny up to the house on the cliff edge. As he went to the front, I went around to the side to hide so Joe wouldn't see me. My entire body was filled with adrenaline as fear for Danny filled my entire being.

Joe greeted Danny at the front door and Danny walked in.

I perked my ears up.

After about an hour, I heard shouting and I raced to the front where I saw Danny stalking away.

This is it.

I slipped inside where the door was open and watched as Joe ran after Danny and pleaded with him.

Danny was persuaded back inside and made eye contact with me as he stepped across the threshold.

The continued their argument.

Joe slung Danny against the wall as he frantically pleaded with him and I stepped in.

I lunged forward, with a growl, and attacked Joe's arm. Danny was dropped to the ground and Joe and I spun around as I was tossed from side to side.

But I didn't let go.

We crashed into the table by the couch and I let go to get between Joe and Danny.

Joe drunkenly got up and turned around.

"Damned dog!" He shouted at me.

I growled as ferociously as possible as I gave him my best Death Glare. I didn't dare take my eyes off him long enough to check on Danny.

"You can't keep me from him!" He shouted manically. He started forward and I gave a warning snap of my jaws.

Don't test me.

He grabbed a piece of wood from the broken table and held it like a baseball bat. He swung and I leaped on top of him as I grabbed it with my teeth. I ignored the splinters as he tried to strong arm me off. While he tried to shake me from his piece of wood, I made sure to dig my back claws into his more….sensitive areas.

He howled with pain and I felt a burst of satisfaction flood through me, but it was short lived as he got enough of an adrenaline rush to kick me off as instinct forced the knee-jerk reaction of curling into a ball. I slammed into the wall.

This is going to really hurt tomorrow.

I shook it off as best I could, but I was still winded. I moved back in between Joe and Danny, but it didn't seem as though Joe would be moving any time soon. Leaving him for the moment, I went to where Danny was still crumpled on the ground.

He wasn't moving.

Please

I heard an anguished moan and I looked back over to see Joe roll over and try to get back up.

I growled as he stumbled into a half standing position, but he was mainly focused with clutching his jewels.

After a few more minutes, he managed to get enough control of himself to pay attention to what was happening. It seemed as though the pain was able to clear his crazed mind a bit.

He looked a bit in horror at Danny's broken form on the ground. He made eye contact with me. "Please." He pleaded. "I didn't mean to go that far."

I growled as I stepped forward menacingly.

Yeah, but sometimes you can't always fix an accident. Leave.

He seemed torn between seeing if Danny was alright or running off. I decided to help him out bit.

I barked and snapped and he turned tail and ran off.

I watched him and went around to see him get in his car and leave. I waited a minute after he drove off and did a quick perimeter check and after there was no sign that Joe had snuck back, I ran back in to check on Danny.

He was still motionless and I feared the worst until I managed to get close enough in to see he his chest was moving slightly up and down. I needed to get help in here fast.

I ran outside and made as much of a racket as I could, but from where I was thrown into the wall, it was hard to keep the volume up.

An hour passed and no one came.

I didn't want to leave him, but if I couldn't get anyone here….

I checked one last time and he was still breathing.

I forced myself to head towards town to try and find someone…anyone.

Please, God, don't let him be harmed further. Give me time to find help.

I don't own Broadchurch.
