"Yea sure, I can't even take down a doberman." she muttered, laying down. "No offense."

Storm was walking around trying to find the three. She was running, "Thunder?!" Bear was beside her with bandages over his eye.

Locking eyes with Harley he gave her a its-okay look.<br /> <br /> "We just saved Harley, Diego, her owner was... Not very nice...<br /> She saved me after Zeus... Well.. We'll get to that in the house, when your mother is around"<br /> <br /> "Go in the house just now and go see mum.. Harley and I will be in soon"<br /> <br /> Diego scampered off.<br /> <br /> <br /> Chop turns to Harley.<br /> "You're not a coward, Harley. You're one of the strongest dogs I know. Don't tell yourself that, or you'll never forget your past. <br /> Focus on the present; it's all that matters right now."

Harley nodded sadly, and stared him directly in the eyes. " Sadly I was. It's a terrifying place, and any dog who is stuck with someone who would do that is a coward. Both them, and their human." She looked at Chop, hurt crossing her eyes. <br /> <br /> "Never. Never grow up to be a coward."

He gave a final look at Harley and said<br /> <br /> "Diego. Remember all those times you've wanted to know how I grew up?"<br /> <br /> "Yes, Daddy?"<br /> <br /> "I need to know if you think you're ready, you're not going to like it"<br /> <br /> "I am daddy"<br /> <br /> "Okay, here goes nothing...<br /> Well, it all starts in a big building a building with chairs and a big square ring. It's called a 'dog fighting arena'-"<br /> <br /> "Dog fighting?" Diego said shocked<br /> <br /> "Yes, Diego. Listen up.<br /> I was trained for dog fighting, and I was pitted, that means put in a fight with, against massive dogs at the age of 1, just a bit older than you, Diego.<br /> I fought hard, and yes I killed plenty dogs, and one day, about a year later, when I was an experienced fighter I was pitted against a huge Rottweiler.<br /> He grabbed me, bit me, and finnaly grabbed my neck and shook me unconcious. That same night I was thrown off a bridge into the water, to drown. When I finnaly got out I collapsed. Zeus saved me, he brought me back to Daryll who took me to the vets and they fixed me up. That's where most of my scars come from, Diego."<br /> <br /> "Daddy, you are so brave, I want to be like you!"<br /> <br /> "No, Diego. You must promise me, wether I'm dead or alive, you will NEVER go there."<br /> <br /> "Yes, daddy, I promise"<br /> <br /> "That's good."<br /> <br /> Chop turns to Harley<br /> "Anything you want to add? You see Diego, I met Harley a long, long time ago, back at the place, she was a fighter too"

"...He gone..and we're alone." Demon looks at Thunder then at the den the three was hiding in. "..Yeah we're lost." Demon sighs laying down, Thunder lays on his belly, and Donny lays between putting his head on Demon's neck.

Harley stared at Diego, then looked at Chop. She sighed and her face showed more of a soft look

Chop nods, not saying a word as he walked towards Diego and Mishka.<br /> Locking eyes with Mishka he says "It's time"<br /> She looked like she was about to protest but instead she nuzzled her son and said "go with dad, he has something to tell you, something you've been wanting to know for a long, long time" <br /> Chop nodded and signalled for his son and Harley to follow him outside. He sat down and looked into the sky, wondering how he should go about telling Diego.

Thunder starts to cry when Harry haven't came back. "Stop crying." Demon said but rubs his cheek against his.

"Anytime." Harley said, then pushed him forward.<br /> "No more stalling, you know this has to happen."
