She ran as fast as she could from the stray, her paws wobbled around as she ran, the stray behind her had its jaws open and ready to take a bite out of her. As she ran she closed her eyes tight, "Please make him leave me alone, I did nothing to him" she said in a whisper, as she ran with her eyes closed her body began to get cold. She shivered a bit, she kept running as fast she could.
As she ran the ice off her paws began to freeze the sidewalk, which of coarse helped her, the stray behind her slipped and fell on the sidewalk as he tried to run. Reese didn't look back she just kept running, she opened her eyes quickly to see were she was going. She hurried and turned the corner and ran down the street, as she seen a subway she hurried and turned into it, she ran down the stairs and quickly went under the closes bench.
She hid under the bench and kept a look out for any more strays, as she did her body shivered once more, she didn't know why she shivered when it was summer, and she didn't know why ice always build up underneath her paws or when she bit someone. She thought of it as a curse for killing her parents, she shook the thoughts off. She curled up in a little ball and laid their in silence.

Kane bobbed along, head swinging with the happy tune in his mind and tail wagging happily in the pleasant breeze. He trotted along slowly, claws clicking repetitively on the hot pavement. It was so much hotter here than from where he had come from... The Bulldog's eyes began to close in the lovely warmth and sunshine, as the birds sang in the once tamed trees all around. This was not Lehren territory, but there wasn't a pack set up here yet, so he figured it was okay to be here.
Then his eyes snapped open as a small yelp awoke him with a start. Just as he looked, a tiny golden puppy skidded into the underground Subway ahead, eyes wide and with small chips of ice flying from her oversized puppy paws. Even as he watched, another dog behind her slipped up from where it had fallen and began to go after her again.
Snapping to action, Kane bounded over to it as fast as his 6 1/2 stone body would(pure muscle) and, just before he reached, and just before it reached the stairs, turned on his Hard Shell. His short fur took on a silvery tint and he was slowed immensely, but had already launched at the attacker. With his weight tripled and on full momentum the large Bulldog bowled it over and snapped before it had a chance to realise what had hit it - quite literally! He was not a fighter; it had lost him a human owner once, but this mongrel was attacking a puppy! It was knocked out instantly. Oh. He thought, a little confused and ever so slightly disappointed. That was easy.
With the Stray safely kept at bay for now, Kane trotted quickly down the stairs. Scenting the air with his flat nose, he located the pup shivering under a bench. It was curled in a terrified ball and seemed to be attempting to make itself even smaller. He could have swallowed it without chewing. Not wanting to scare it, the bulky male lay down to its level and put his head gently near. He'd never squeeze under the bench himself. It was much cooler in here. A train roared past, set to Auto ever since the humans left.

As she laid their she heard little clicking sounds coming down the stairs, she tightened her self more and more as they got closer, but when it stopped she loosened her self up a bit. She slowly opened her eyes looking in front of her she seen nothing, but when she turned to the side she seen a huge brute laying on the ground looking straight at her. She jumped with fear, she hit her little head under bench which caused her to be in a little pain, her fear caused her to shiver a bit, as she did her little paws begin to have ice covering the tiles.
She took a few breathers to catch her self, "Um,um....hello, are you going to hurt me sir" she said with a shivering tone, "My,my name is Reese" she said, she tried her best not to stutter for which lots of strays hate hearing others stutter.

Kane smiled warmly, eyes sparkling. "Very indiscreet." He joked. Usually dogs didn't ask 'are you going to hurt me'. "But I aint hurting no-one." He sat up and stretched, relieved she was okay, then bumped his bum down to the slippy tiles and skidded a little. When he tried to scratch, he slid right over with an 'uff!' of surprise and pain. Pushing himself gently away, Kane lowered his head again and said to the slowly unfurling ball. "That's quite a power you got there, little Reese. Nice name too. I'm Kane." He held out a large paw, like he had seen the humans do many times before.

When he spoke she putted on a friendly smile, watching him slip made her giggle a bit as well. When he spoke some more she tilted her head to the side, her face showed confusion, she slipped out from under the bench wiggling her tail. She slowly went over to the side of the large male name Kane, she slipped around a bit, but shortly she got her balance. She slowly sat down on the cold flooring, looking at Kane with a sweet smile, "I thought it was a curse, no one never told me it was a gift before" she said in a low voice, "Kane, thats a really nice name.rare to" she said kindly with a smile.
She was quite for a moment, she thought about what happened to her parents and siblings, it put sadness in her eyes. Every time she thought about it she wanted to cry, she blinked eyes a few times and shook her memories away then looked back at Kane with a smile, "Sorry if I caused any trouble sir" she said with her kind manners.

Kane was pleased with her politeness and respect; usually by this age pups were right little gits. He looked down at he as she spoke and he listened. A small amount of drool dripped from his jowl. He smiled at her sad words and nuzzled her comfortingly, wagging his misshapen tail a little haphazardly. "Everyone is gifted, little one. Whether you can run fast as the wind, make your fur hard and shiny." He demonstrated Hard Shell "Or freeze the Earth around you. We are all equals, yet unique." Then he smiled warmly again, looking up. "But some are gifted in other ways. By size, intelligence, or the ability to love."
Not entirely sure why he was telling her all this, Kane looked around in mild embarrassment, studying the walls of the abandoned Subway, letting his eyes slide over the rows of benches and columns that supported the structure. Finally he said "And it aint no trouble. That little mischief maker up there should be taught a lesson. Might keep him out of trouble... For now!" He chortled.

She sat their and listened to him, when he finished speaking she stayed silent, she looked down at her little toes and wiggled them. When she came up with words to say to sir Kane they became stuck in her throat, as if they didn't want her to speak such evil and painful words. "Sir Kane, may I ask you something" she said in a low voice, she sat their in silence with her head down with fear, but yet sadness in her eyes once more. "Would you consider a gift dangerous if it killed your family" she said in a low voice, she still had her head facing down to the ground. "I feel like I am being punished for something I really didn't mean to do" she said in sadness, tears rolled of her cheeks slowly, "I consider my self cursed for which I killed my family....my father,my mother, and my two siblings" she said.
She slowly lifted her head up with tears still dripping off her face, "I didn't mean to do it, I didn't know I had this, this gift" she said, "I got angry at them....so I pushed them around and bit them, for how little I am I would expect them to either push me away or just laugh, but they didn't, all I could hear was screams" she said crying. She stayed silent for a moment, "I black out through the whole thing, when it was over all I seen was my family laying on the ground frozen stiff I didn't know what to do so I ran as far as I could....I was found by a male name Ruffshot who owned a pack called the rebellion, he took me in so wouldn't be alone or in danger" she said in a low voice.

Kane lowered his face to Reese's level and ssshh-ed comfortingly. He closed his eyes and listened, then hesitated before saying quietly, with a gently warm chuckle, "Now that is quite a mess you've gotten yourself into!" Then he went down close, twisting his body so they were face to face, needing her to look into his eyes. "And the only curse you've got is that you keep beating yourself up about this! You'll never get better just hiding in guilt and shame. Of course this isn't the sort of thing that you can overcome in a day, or a week, maybe not even atall in your whole life. But there is one thing I know: That they wouldn't be angry. No mother could hate a child like that." What about your mother? Kane hissed to himself in his mind. He licked her head wetly and distractedly.
"And all the awesome characters in stories are the ones with the best skills and powers. It's always the Hero - or Heroine - that saves the day with something that they used to wish they never had. You'll see," He winked. "You never know. Sweet Reese may go down in History as the legendary leader of this 'Rebellion' Pack, and how she saved the pack time and time again with her amazing skills!" His eyes sparkled. "Don't hate the gift."

Reese sat their and listened to Kane, such kind but wise words filled her mind, she was deciding in her head if she should try her best to move on or just put her self in more darkness till she finally died of depression. As she thought about it her eyes laid on Kane, when she finally made a decision she gave him a smile, "I will definitely try my best on not letting things like my past get me down....one day, I will become a hero on saving someone with this power I have" she said with a smile.
"You are a hero sir Kane" she said with a smile, "Maybe not to some but to me you are, I will definitely keep those words you said in mind, so whenever I am down I will think of what you said" she said kindly to him. She sat their with her head tilted and a cute adorable smile on her puppy face.

Kane got a warm fuzzy glow inside when she called him a Hero. He was glad she had changed her way of thinking and scrunched his eyes up proudly, beginning to smile. When he tried to speak, he found his throat clogged up. "You do that little one. You go and save 'em." It was all he could choke out. Suddenly the American Bulldog felt completely alone, isolated, and he didn't know why. "I see why they call you Sweet Reese--"
Suddenly his happy sadness was interrupted by a sharp grunt and some growling from up above the high concrete ceiling of the old Subway. Weeds grew down and another train rumbled past. Kane stood with a groan of sorts and ushered Reese back under the bench. "Looks like Trouble-Maker's awake." He shook, drool flying off to the sides. Then he said "Time to get to work!" And moved forth to refight the stray.

Reese smiled at Kanes words, to her he was like a big teddy bear, but at the same time a true hero. She may only new him for a moment but you could tell who would be a hero and would be evil, like he had said, any one can be a hero. When Reese heard loud growls and snarls her body began to shake like a feather, before she could do anything Kane gently pushed her under the bench.
She slowly moved up against the wall and curled up into a tight ball, she looked around and watched out for the evil stray that had chased her down the street. She had hope that Kane would be okay, sometimes she wished that every one lived in peace, to her fighting was uncalled for and it was also scary.

Kane grinned at her as she curled up then bounded forward to meet the Stray at the base of the stairs. And then he saw it. Frothing at its mouth, dripping down, eyes rolling in its head. How had he not seen it before!? This dog had Rabies. Suddenly he was alot more worried about fighting it, and even more so about Reese.
He put on his Hard Shell with a grinding 'ssshhhhinnk' and tensed, huge brown eyes looking up at the unfortunate ill stray. "I think you need to see Mollie..." Then he leapt duntedly at it, unable to go far due to his Shell. The fight rebegan. But this time it was different; Kane was fighting harder, for now he knew Reese he felt more compelled to protect her, but also less hard, for he felt sorry for the dog. So as he stood there and bit whenever he got the chance, not needing to dodge as the stray's fangs bounced off him, he had time to reflect on the day. And what an eventful one it had been...

As Reese laid their curled under the bench she watched the fight with fear, seeing Kane fight off the crazy stray made he worry for his safety, being little she was helpless and couldn't do anything. The fight scared her, so bad that she quickly got out from under the bench and ran into the ticket room, she hurried and hid under the table. Looking around she seen a cloth on the seat, she got up on her paws and quickly grabbed it. She went into the corner and covered her self up with the cloth, she tried to hide her self but because she was a bit big for it parts of her body stuck out. She only hope that Kane was okay and that he was chase the crazy stray out of the subway.

The Stray made another leap for his throat and as he saw Reese scurry away he was distracted for a moment. Turning, his hard Shell flickered and just as it faded before coming back on the ill and insane Stray's jaws snapped a millimetre from his neck. Yelping and leaping away Kane snarled and threw back on his shield then threw himself clumsily back towards it.
The Battle continued for a little longer, then, at last--WHAM! Kane's head smashed down onto his Enemy's. Forehead to forehead, they met with a deafening CRACK! that split open the Air. The two swayed for a moment, then the Stray collapsed, and Kane shook his head and looked up straight, vision slightly blurred. He didn't dare look down for the source of the Crack; something told him that was the sound of a fractured skull. Blech.
He turned dizzily, removed his shield, and called gently, "Sweet Reese, he's K.O.ed. Won't bother you again. You can come out now if you like hun. Don't worry, t'aint dead, but it won't bother ya again."

Reese listened to the fight, the fear in her heart caused her to freeze the cement that laid under her. Once Kane spoke saying it was okay she got the courage to get out of hiding. She trotted a long toward the door, peaking over she seen Kane, but at the same time she seen the knocked out stray. Giving Kane a smile, she quickly ran out the room and toward Kane. Once she was a few inches away she stopped, she sat down on the floor and wagged her little tail. Her face still showed that she was worried, but their was a little sparkle showing that was also happy that he saved her. "Are you okay Kane" she said kindly to him, "Thank you for protecting me sir Kane" she said with a smile.
