Shrieks broke through the night air. Two dogs knawed at each other. Their crys filled the night air.
Domino laid on the ground his muscles quivering under the strain, one paw laid on the chest of a great beast. Both navy eyes starred into the soul of a blue pittbull. Tremors of fear rolled off his skin as his life flashed before his eyes. The huge dog alike him was a shape shifter...
---------------
Riley growled, the dog whined under the pressure of his paws. His canines held the dogs jugular as he bit down hard. Don't do it again. You broke her heart once, never again. a ripple of snarls broke from his chest and he let go. The border collie whined and lay still his eyes tearing up.

Katelyn walked down the alley, her jean cuffs trailing on the concreted floor. She ran her hand along the graffiti-coated walls, her vision not quite adjusted to the dark. She moved slowly, her feet stepping a few inches and then switiching. She stopped all of a sudden, hearing a cry ring throughout the dark alley. She held her hands up higher on the walls and jumped again as the cries came nearer. A rat scurried past her foot, making her jump and give a small shriek, but nothing too loud. She was trying to find something, something that she had lost in the daylight, and wasn't sure where exactly it went. It was something special to her and she knew that who ever found it would probably keep it because it looked expensive.
She almost gave up earlier, out of frustration and anger. She knew she couldn't find it here in the daylight because she couldn't come back. The reason she lost it is the same reason she can't be here in the day. There's a gang that runs this alley in the day, and it's even scarrier at night, but believe it or not, more safe at night. They had chased her and she dropped her necklace. It wasn't the necklace with the orb, the one that she had to have on every day, but it was a locket. It was very small, about the size of a dime, but it opened, and inside had a picture of two people: her birth mother, and her birth father; both of which had put her up for adoption when she was just a baby because they couldn't afford to take care of her.
She sighed, knowing she had to go on; for them; for her. She knew she couldn't give up, no matter how hard she tried, or how tired she was. She yawned, thinking this. She had been seraching for five hours now, and had found nothing. Maybe she had already passed it, maybe someone picked it up already, she didn't know. She just knew one thing: she had to be out by sunrise, or she would run into the gang, and for what she did, they won't let her go this time.
She pressed on, her vision starting to adjust. She hadanother locket on that looked a lot like the first. But, incased in it, were two pictures of Domino; one in human, on ein Border Collie form. She put her fingers around it and started walking again, her steps a bit bigger this time.
She jumped, for she heard another cry ring out. It sounded like a bigger animal than a rat, but she wasn't sure. Maybe a stray dog? She decided to poke around, and maybe she would get an answer to her questions. "Hello?" She asked the sound, recieving no answer. "Hello...?" She said again, and waited for a reply.
Her vision was still black, and all she could feel was the wall. She started going orward again, her steps very small; smaller than before. She was curious and scared all at the same time. She decided to try her luck again. "Hello?"

Domino heard Katelyns voice and scrambled off, a tear fell from his cheek as he trotted down the alley, his fur brushing her thiegh, before another growl ripped from Riley's chest and he raced around the corner, his blood and tears staining the dirty concrete.
-------
Riley lifted his head, and loosened his grip, Dirrn ran off and touched Katelyn's leg he snarled then shifted, after biting his own arm. He cried out and shifted, collapsed on the floor. Katelyn? That you? he made his voice sound hoarse.
A dog just attacked me, I think he was a shape shifter. A border collie, he just ran off. You see him? he paused. Why are you here?

"Riley?" Katelyn asked, her voice small. She squinted her eyes as she walked cloesr to the clearing of the alley. She saw a shape laying there. "Uh.. I'm here... I lost something... that's it..." She said, trying to make her way over to him. She finally did and she bent down, looking at his arm. "Looks like he got you pretty bad, either that or my vision is worse than I thought..." She squitned, her eyes finally adjusting. She pressed her thumb on one side of his arm, blood rushing out of the wound. "WEll, I can either take you back to my place and we can find the dog another time, or I can take you to the hospital and we can find the dog anotehr time; either way, the mut's long gone," She told offered.

Riley nodded, um I'm not a big doctor person, can we just go to your place? He tilted his head to the side and gasped his arm stinging alot more. He stood up and leaned against the wall. When I get patched up I can help you look for the thing? The alleys dangerous during the day for most people, but they won't mind a badass pitbull, like myself. He grinned and held pressure on his arm.
He took a few steps leaning on the wall and then steadied himself and walked on his own, he could feel the pressure building in his arm. You'll thank me for what I did later... she might not know what he had done, but he knew the pups plan from the get go and didn't like it...

Katelyn laughed. "My boyfriend isn't a big doctor person either, nor am I. I just go to doctors when it's necsisarry, but half the time I don't even go then." She smiled. she walked beside him, feeling better now that she had someone with her. "Oh, don't worry about helping me find it... It-It's no big deal.. I can do without it....." She looked to the ground, trying to hide her face. She felt like crying, but knew she couldn't do it now, not here, not infront of Riley. She regained her composure and looked ahead, her lips firm.
"It was just a silly little locket," She shrugged, trying to pass it off as she didn't really care about it, but if you knew her, you could tell when she was lying about something that big.
"What did the dog look like?" "'Cause Domino, my boyfriend, is always out and about in the alleys and everything alike.. It could have been him... Sometimes he can be dangerous, but I still love him, and I know he loves me.... Last time I thought I had lost him, I was literally drove insane, then, well.. One day," She lguhed, a tear going down her cheek." One day, I was in a bar, beating up this guy who thought I couldn't take him down, and well, naturally, I won, but then DOmino walked in. It was funny seeing him. I thought it was quincidence that we met in a bar, then after like a year without contact, we saw each other in a bar again.. It was funny, but I can't forget his face the day he saw me beating him up," she gave another laugh. "Well, let's just say, he has his moments. He's a great boyfriend.... And I think I love him more than I do anyone in my whole entire life.... I mean.. not like fake love, but true love... You know what I mean? But that day.. The day he left me.. I won't forget it, and I know he won't do it again... I can't let him... I know it's selfish, but he's like my living drug. I need him in order to be happy, if I don't have him, all I have is depression, and my old gun," She sighed, hoping he'd get what she meant by depression and a gun. Katelyn sighed, wiping her cheek, not even noticin that Riley hadn't said a whole thing and that she was talking the whole time. She was glad it was dark, because her cheeks were stained a bright red now. "I like talking about him if you haven't noticed... It's kind of hard not to.." She smiled.

Riley sighed and looked at the ground. He grabbed her shoulder ignoring his pain. Katelyn. me and Dirrn were friends a while ago, then he left his girl and she killed herself. He is a kind of person who gives a girl his heart, and then leaves. He's a runner. He came back because I tracked him down, and he swore he'd stay, but then I heard talk of him wanting to end it again. He didn't attack me, I attacked him and made him leave. He's not a good person.
Riely withdrew his hand and stood square waiting to be hit, kicked, punched or something along those lines. It was a true statement, he'd rather he had ended it sooner then later. He had really cared for her before Dirrn came back. I called him when you were stayin at Nonas... I sacrificed my own happiness to see that bastard break you..... he thought this not wanting to push her buttons more.

KAtleyn stopped and smiled, a tear rolling down her cheek. "I know... I'm not that stupid, Riley... I knew someone called him, because he wouldn't be here.... And trust me, he knows what I am capable of, and he knows that I do not hesitate when I pull the trigger. He knows exactly what I would do if he left. I've tried to do it before... Even when I was just a kid.." she said, averting her eyes to the ground now. "I tried to kill myself when my parents died... I was taken under the Police Cheif, and well.. I've lived my life up until now.... If I decide I can't take it anymore, don't worry, I always have something with me..." She said, looking back up at him, her eyes swollen and red. She bent to the ground, pulled up her jean pant leg and pulled out a very small revolver. It was smaller than her palm. She held it square, the barrel faced toawrds her. "I always have something with me. Even if it's just a knife... I will do it." She told him, her lip quivering.
She finally burst out in tears, reaching for Riley as she did. She hugged him tight, trying not to hurt him any more than he was. "I know he will eventually leave me.. I know I don't matter that much to anyone... I don't have any family, the world would be better without me... If I didn't have DOmino, I would have nothing.... So what's the use? I only stay with Domino instead of killing myself now because if or when he does leave me, I want him to know how it feels..." She said, in her voice you could tell she was sobbing. "The day he decides to leave is the day I will kill myself. And I will do it in front of him if it so be.... I don't care if he doesn't love me; I love him." She told him, hiding her face in his chest.

Riley shuffled back a few steps when she leaned on him. He rubbed her hair and looked down. He didn't attack me tonite I attacked him and sent him away, he's not coming back. I didn't want you to get anymore attached... He reached for her hand and tried to loosen her grip on the revolver. Whispering, you matter the world to me, don't do it, just give me the gun.
He rocked her side to side, his blood spilling from his wound, but he managed to hold onto her and try to take the gun from her hand, he kept repeating, Give me the gun, you matter to me....

KAtelyn just held on to the gun tighter. Her yes shut as tight as they could go, her fingers curled around the metallic thing so tight, she could feel blood pouring down her fingers from what felt like paper cuts.
She cried even harder. "You're just saying that to make me feel better!" She said, making her grip even tighter.
She quickly pushed back form him and put the gun to the side of her head. "You sent him away on purpose! You wanted me to feel this way!" She shouted at him, tears streaming down her face. "You did it on purpose!" She repeated.
