~Chapter 2: Caught!~

The sun blazed in my eyes, as I opened them awakening, I yawned climbing out of a cardboard box, where my mom and siblings lived. I felt dizzy and stilled tired, but I got up anyway I needed to find something to eat... something before I starved. I looked behind me, everybody was asleep. Good.

Quickly, I ran out of the alley where the box was located and sniffed around, there was a garbage can nearby, I smiled... Finally something to eat. I dug into the garbage tearing through, unidentifiable gunk, until I found a small half-eaten pastry, I grabbed it quickly and brought it back to the alley, my siblings were awake and so was my mom... oh great now I had to share...

One of my sisters approached me, it was Twinkle, her blue eyes were what she was named after, as they would always glow in the light, no matter how dim, but now those blue eyes were staring right at me, I growled at them, wanting to eat my treasure alone, but my mom looked toward me with the evil eye only she could give. I whimpered as she broke the treat into peices give each of us a piece before she ate the smallest one for herself. That's how it was for everything, we only had each other to stay alive and that's how it was always going to be. Or so I thought.

We walked quickly along the glow of the streetlights. Moving in and out of their shining lights we each had different things on our mind. I sighed, getting tired, but continued moving on, the pavement panged against my paw pads, it hurt so bad, but I couldn't do anything about it, my mother could never carry all four of us, it would be too much for her. Besides she was doing all she could... for all of us.

I felt so bad, wondering if we weren't there, probably she'd be better off. But I knew that waasn't true... even though I felt it. I walked toward my mom and whispered something in her ear. "Where are we going?" I asked her quietly.

She smiled at me and whispered back, "The place... where your father and I first met..."

"My father...?" I thought... I never felt too much for him, since he never was here for us, he was one of them, those evil, and nasty pets. He was a tratoir to my mom, and that meant he was one to me.... Why would my mom want to take us to a place where she'd meet such a dog... I didn't understand, but even though I continued walking, I really wished I hadn't and yet, I did.

As we continued on, my mom barked out to us, "We're almost there!"

But I somehow knew we'd never make it, because just at that moment a truck pulled up nearby, and three two-leggers came out of it. They wore blue uniforms and had, all these tools with them, but at this time, they had a net, and a muzzle. I yelped out loud, they went near toward us and crouched down. My mother quickly flew out at them and growled, ready to bite the two-legs as me and my sibling crouched down.

The two-legs didn't get too near to her probably afraid, as always... but they caught her anyway, she tried to fight for us but she failed as a muzzle was placed on her and she was locked into a cage. The two-legs had no trouble with us, because we were too small to fight back, but I had a feeling that e could have faught back if we wanted to, we were just... scard. But now it didn't matter or not, right now, we were, captured...
