    " Elle, come look." Rin called bending down by a stream, she swirled her finger in the murky water " are there any fish?"
    I knelt down next to her " It's summer, there should be." She frowned " I don't see any."
    " Well it's a small stream Rin, I doubt many would survive." I jumped when she gasped " What?" I asked staring at her. Rin pointed and mouthed 'Look', My head turned to the direction she pointed in. The same dog as the night before had made his way to the stream. " Wow." Rin whispered " I've never seen that kind of dog, he's huge!"

    I swallowed " I know."
    She frowned and squinted " What are those? Did someone draw on him?"
    " I don't know, but don't move." I warned, he didn't attack the night before, but who knows if he would today. My breathing sped up on it's own as I heard Rin scream. He turned his head twoards us and snarled. Not looking at me but further. The creature I saw terrified me and I saw it had slashed Rin acroos the back. That was the cause of her scream.

    The dog ran twoards us and I yanked Rin out of the way. It roared going to lash at us but he had jumped on it in time. I grabbed Rin doing my best to support her on my back and ran, we hadn't gone far from the house but had wandered away from the trail. I heard snarls, howls, and the occasional roar. My mind was to occupied with running to focus on getting back on the trail.

    I didn't know what that thing was but all I knew was that I needed to get as far away as possible. On my luck I managed to trip over my own footing and fall down a steep hill. " Damnit." I moaned looking at my leg, there was a deep cut but I wasn't as bad off as Rin. I coughed as the air i'd lost from running slammed itself back into my throat. We were pretty far from the monster and dog, this I knew for sure.

    Though I couldn't help but worry if he was ok. I shook my head and focused on Rin. She had three large and deep marks on her back. I panicked " Rin! say something, or move something!" I breathed pushing the hair from her now dirty face. Rin made alittle motion with her fingers and I gave a relieved sigh at least she was alive. My head whipped at the sound of a low growl. He stepped out of a bush, his muzzle covered in blood.

    The dog looked at me and then turned on his heel expecting me to follow. Without concious or proper judgement I did. It wasn't long before we were back at the house, had he lead me there? I yelled "Sarah!" and she immedaitly came running " What's wr-, Elle! What happened?!" She cried taking Rin from me.
    " She needs to go to the hosptial" I said in a tired pant. Sarah jumped at the sight of the blood covered dog " Did he-?"

    I shook my head feveriously " No..he helped us." Worily she put Rin in the back seat, I turned twoards him and knelt down " wait here."
    He huffed at the order, but jumped upon the roof and sat watching with intent eyes.
