((I do hope everyone is enjoying my story so far! I am working hard and trying to make it as good as possible.))
A rather tall man wearing some dirty slightly torn pants and a lightly brown shirt with a dark brown tattered vest looked up at the sky and smiled. His canine companion waged his tail and barked. The man looked down at him and chuckled. He petted him on the head. Being rather big and a bit scruffy with a top darkish grey color and a white undercoat, he licked his master on the hand. The man smirked and walked down an alley. "Well my friend. It seems you and I are going to sleep out in the streets again tonight." His canine friend lowered his ears slightly then perked them back up and barked. He didn't mind at all. The man chuckled nd petted him gently. "Such a good boy."
The two sat down in the alley. His canine friend after about 15 minutes two men approached them. One wearing a pair of glasses and a tattoo of a dog with 12 lines under it. He had fairly nice clothes. Along with the other man who had a dog tattoo as well and 4 lines under it. The first man smiled. "Hello mister. I see you are sleeping here. In this cold damp alley. Why don't you come with us. We have a nice warm bed and food for you."
The man looked up at the other two men and tilted his head. "Oh? A nice warm bed and something to eat you say? Hmmmm. Well. Can my dog come with me? He is my best friend and I can not simply abandon him. We have been together for as long as I can remember." His canine barked and licked his face.
The man chuckled. "Oh but of course. Your dog can come. We shall make sure to take very good care of him. So mister. Please. Tell me your name."
The man smirked lightly and looked up at him with a smile. "Sebastian. Sebastian Michaelis. And this is my dog. Hunter." Hunter waged his tail and barked. "So strangers. I know our names?"
The first man chuckled. "Well. My name is Mark. Mark Zulemen. And my friend here is named Chuck Longster. Now. If you two will come with us. We can show you both a nice home. You both shall be well taken care of." Mark smiled.
Sebastian stood up. "Alright. I can not pass up such an offer. Come Hunter." Hunter perked up his hears and stood up. Sebastian smiled and stood up. "So Mark. Where exactly is this home of yours?"
Mark started to walk. Sebastian followed along with Hunter and Chuck followed behind everyone else. Mark looked back. "It is not to far from here." The man smirked lightly. He walked down the sidewalk to a nice looking house near a few run down buildings.
Sebastian looked around. What was a nice looking house doing in a place with run down old buildings? Where the buildings hiding something inside? Sebastian sighed on the inside and followed the men inside. In the living room area was a couch and a round table behind it with a few other men sitting at it and a night stand with a lamp and a few pictures. "This is a very nice place you have here." Hunter looked around not feeling very comfortable. He had a strange feeling about these men.
Mark smiled and stopped. "Ah. Why thank you. I found this place and thought it was nice. I did a few renovations. I think it turned out very nice. How about I get you. And your dog something to eat? You two just wait here in the living room with these other acquaintances of mine." Mark smiled and made his way into the kitchen.
Sebastian smiled and nodded. "Alright." He sat down on the couch and Hunter hopped up and lied down across him. Sebastian smiled and started to pet him. One of the men stood up and walked over to Sebastian. "Hello sir. I see you have a nice dog their." Sebastian looked up at the man and raised a brow. He thought to himself. This man is one of the kidnapped victims. Jackson Manner. What is he doing here? Where is his dog? He snapped out of it and smiled. "Indeed. He has been my best friend ever since I found him as a pup.
Jackson chuckled lightly. "I know the feeling. I have a dog of my own. He's in the kennel with the other dogs. I should go see how he's doing. though Mark said I'm not aloud to go into the kennel area yet. Since I just got here a few days ago."
Sebastian raised a brow slightly. "Oh? Not aloud? I wonder why that is. I hope your dog is alright though." Hunter yawned and shook his fur slightly. Jackson smiled. "May I pet him please?" Sebastian smiled and nodded. "Sure." Jackson petted Hunter on the head and waged his tail slightly. "My dog's name is Hans. He's a German Shepherd. We've been together for years. He's my whole world and I'm his." Sebastian smiled softly. "That's really nice to hear. I know how you feel. even if I've only had Hunter for a few months/"
Mark comes back with a plate of food and a dog bowl with some meat cut into pieces. "Here you both are." Mark smiled and set the dog bowl down and handed Sebastian his food. Hunter hopped off the couch and began to eat. Sebastian took the plate and smiled. "Thank you. This looks good." Sebastian began to eat though being a demon couldn't taste much. Mark smiled. "I hope you like it. After you are finished eating I shall put your dog in the kennel."
Sebastian looked up at him. "Oh? Well. Alright. May I come with you? Hunter is not very good around strangers. I do not want him hurting anyone or anything." Mark chuckled lightly. "Of course of course. But I must say. You will not be able to see him for a bit." Sebastian raised a brow. "And why is that?"
"Because. We are going to take care of him for you for a while. So you can rest and take a load off. I know living on the streets can ware a person out. I am only trying to help."
Sebastian sensed something wrong about that man. He didn't know what. but he was up to something. And he was going to find out what it was. No matter what.
