You had just gotten home from you're day out. You and nine others had just gone to the desert to go on an all-out air soft war. You lay in your bed as you had lost pretty much all of your energy. You roommate John walked into the room and told you "why don't you take a shower and I'll get dinner ready. You looked at him and told him "ok, but did you already shower since you were dustier than me." He looked at me and told me "yeah dinner will be ready in two hours"
You're roommate leaves and you walk into the bathroom and shower getting out all of the dust from your body. You get out of the shower and Dry off; you put on new clothes and lay in your bead and fall asleep trying to regain energy. You let the cool air of your room soothe you as you drift off into a dreamless sleep.
You are awoken to a knock on your bedroom door, and you're roommate was standing there “dinners ready hope you like steak!" You look at him and get up following him to the dining room/kitchen and sit at one end while he sits at the other. You both dig into you’re dinner and about twenty minutes later you finish your dinner and throw it in the trash. You notice that the trash needs to go out so you decide right now would be a good time. You walk outside and throw away the garbage in the black trash can. You were on your away back inside when you heard a feint "h~help" You look around the court yard and found nothing. You unlock the gate and walk out into the drive way and in the middle of it you saw what looked like a teenaged German shepherd anthro. You mutter a "shit" as you approach the anthro. You didn't know about anthro's much since you never really met one besides one of your friends but he was a Wolf anthro, and he was at the air soft war today.
You pick him up and feel that he is really light and is bleeding. You run inside and yell "John! Get my med bag from the second cabinet now!" You hear a crash and John appears in the front entry way with a large medical bag slung over his shoulder. He ran right beside me and opened it up all of the way. You looked over the Shepherds body and looked in horror. Bruises, cuts, and even a few burns littered the poor teenaged anthro's body. You immediately began to pull out roll after roll of gauze out of the bag. You wrapped the biggest wound on his stomach first. It almost immediately bled through the first layer while you were working through the second layer. You moved onto the second wound and managed to close it pretty easily. The hardest part was the burns, for when you were about to put the cream on the anthro regained consciousness. He looked up at you with his sapphire blue eyes in pain as you rubbed the burn cream on his singed fur and rubbed it so it could reach his skin. You knew the burns were third degree since it was the last thing you learned before you went on spring break from collage. You got all of the burns and pulled out something you never expected to use an I.V. You looked down at the unconscious Shepherd and told John "before I start the I.V. let’s move him to my room." He looked at you before the both of you pick him up lightly and moved him into your room where you proceeded to start the I.V. you walk around him checking for more wounds but found that you got all of the severe one's; you sigh in relief and sat in the chair in front of your computer I began to think about the nature of the injury's when John returned with three bottles of water. One was placed on the night stand and the other was given to me while the last one he drank. You drank mine and turned to the computer and turned it on. You pulled up a blank incident report to fill out for the police and worked on that for five minutes. You turned to the still unconscious Shepherd teen and began to think of people that would do this. None came to mind.
you sat there just staring at the anthro on my bed and felt bad. You turned back and put on your headphones and did some other things before just letting the music play and lay back on the chair and decompressed on what just happened. You laid you’re feet up on the side of the bed and began to drift off. You were a light sleeper so you would notice if the German shepherd would wake up. You woke up and it was morning and John was standing at the door with a police officer behind him. You stood up and printed the incident report. You walked out to the living room with them grabbing the report and sat with them over a cup of coffee. You explained what happened and that you properly bandaged him. He looked at me and told you 'well he is a citizen but since he can’t speak since he is unconscious he will stay with you two" Both you and john looked at each other before responding with an "ok." The both of you let the officer go and returned to your room. You cleaned up quietly a bit and worked on a paper on your computer for the rest of the day. About noon two of your friends met the two of you for a study session, but first the two of you showed him the unconscious anthro and Derek you're human friend looked discussed, and Jacob you're usually happy go lucky anthro wolf friend looked angry. You all walked into the living room and talked for two hours. Before they had to go to dinner they invited the two of you but we couldn't so you told John "you go and have some fun I will stay, but don't stay too late like usual." He looked at you and smiled for the first time today and told you "ok and I will bring something back for you" You nodded before returning to your room to go and study fire science. It was a coincidence that the four of you all wanted to become fire fighters. And so every weekend you would meet for a study session.
You were in the middle of the chapter in the book when you felt the bed shift. You looked over and saw that the Shepherd anthro was beginning to stir. You put the book down and picked up the med bag and slowly approached the awakening shepherd anthro. You set the bag down gently and put your hand on his head to check the temperature. He was fine, and the shepherd’s eyes slowly opened and for the second time you saw the crystal clear sapphire blue eyes. He tried to sit up but you stopped him and whispered. “please don’t sit up you are badly injured, and I don’t want any wounds to open up." He looked at you and nodded and you pulled over the chair and sat next to him and began to ask him a question "what is your name" you whispered. "S~Shane" he whispered and coughed. You looked at the bottle of water on the Night stand and put it in one paw while taking out the I.V. I looked at him and asked "what’s you're age?" he responded clearly "I'm eighteen." you look over at him and noticed that the both of you and John were the same age. You asked a few more minor questions and found that you both had the same birthday. You looked over at him and asked him a serious question “are you ready to talk about what happened to you or would you like to wait?" He looked at me and said "ok I'll tell you, but first can you take this wretched collar off?"
You looked at his neck and saw the collar and it was wrapped tight around his neck. I unbuckled the black collar and looked at it for a moment and saw it looked expensive and you turned to him. “I was a pet to a Girl the same age we grew up together she used to be nice to me she even treated me like I was her brother, but one summer when she was ten she went to summer camp. She returned with a friend, and he was a boy She began to abuse me. She would hit me, burn me, and once or twice even cut me. I tried to get out before but then she would torture me. I found out the boy taught her how to torture and abuse me. It lasted eight more years until I built up enough courage to escape. I failed once a month ago and she starved me. I was cut and burned yesterday after finally being let out. I fond an opening and bolted out the open door. I ran and ran, but I did not know where I was going so I walked for a good ten minutes until I saw your car. I knew you would help since you had a Fire department sticker and a search and rescue sticker. That's when you saw me as I called for help." You looked at him and all you could do is hug him for a solid minute as he began to cry in your arms. You laid him back down and brought some light foods for him to eat. You looked at him and whispered "how about you have some trust and stay with us and I can call you my brother?" He dropped the piece of bread from his muzzle and looked at me and said "really you would do that for me a random anthro that you don’t know?" you look at him and tell him "yep all you have to do is tell me the name of the person who did this. You can sleep in my room for the time being too." He looked up at you and teared up and said "thank you this means a lot to me, and by the way the name of the person who did this to me was Carla, but I don’t know her last name" You cringed at the name, for she was in one of your classes and you knew she was a witch but not this bad! You looked at him and responded "Her name is Carla Johnson her family is filthy rich and she is known to be a witch but I never thought she would stoop this low?!" you looked at him and hugged him again and whispered into his ear "I will never let anything happen to you again that’s my promise!" He looked at you and hugged you. The two of you were interrupted by a knock on the door it was....
