Here is chapter 3 Air gets more development in this chapter. I finally have also figured out plot for Alaska, which I will start when this story is done. So read, review and enjoy!
Ryder and Jake gave each other concerned glances. Air was crying and was shaking. She was so very tense and her breathing was heavy. "Jake, Ryder! What if they come back!? What if they go after Shirley next!? What if they try to kill the team!? What if-"
"Air..." Jake mumbled. As he gently picked up his pup and hugged her tight. "Everything will be okay,"
"...I am scared. So scared," Air replied. The tears slid down her cheeks and she tried her best to not hyperventilate. "Shh... Shh..." Jake said, as he continued to hold Air tightly. "It'll be alright, you'll see..."
Air hugged Jake tightly and took deep breaths to try and calm herself down.
Ryder, knowing this would need some personal assistance left Jake and Air alone in the examination room and went back out to where Katie, and the others were waiting. "She's gone into another panic attack... I think we're going to need a psychiatrist to come out," Ryder explained. "Air seems scared... Not just of the fear of those teenagers coming back, but also about a lot of other things. She's not herself and it's very clear to see. She's never panicked like this before... I mean sure she's been worried here and there, but this... This is a whole new level..."
"Is she going to be okay?" Alaska asked, whimpering.
"Yes, but she'll need some professional help and support," Ryder replied. The pups nodded in response and Katie sighed. "I'll call for psychiatrist a to come in," With that the girl headed to the phone and Ryder sat down with the pups. "Don't worry we're all here to help and support Air and she's a tough cookie. Things be okay, pups," Ryder added in.
That night Katie gave the go ahead for Jake to take Air home. Alaska, Jake, and Air all went back to their cabin, at the lookout though Ryder couldn't get Shirley to eat nor sleep that night. The others while worried about Air too did manage to eat and sleep. Shirley gave up on sleeping after midnight and went to the top of a nearby hill to look at the stars. "I sure hope you're aright, Air..." Shirley muttered to herself. She felt like ripping those dogs in half, but she knew she wouldn't win if she tried. She wasn't completely trained in fighting yet.
However at Jake's cabin Alaska was awoken to Air crying in her bed. Since the two shared a room with seprate beds it woke Alaska easily. "Air... It'll be okay," Alaska whispered gently. She hugged her sister tightly, who cried into her fur. Air was not the same pup she was at breakfast that morning, or the other day. And it terrified Alaska...
Air was given an hour to talk to the psychiatrist who came in and after an hour not even... He knew what was wrong with the pup. He told Air to stay put inside the lookout, while he went outside where Jake, Ryder, and the others were waiting. 'Well... She's got PTSD," Said the psychiatrist.
