Chapter 14 Dog Eat Dog

Luckily the area was still pretty much deserted when we started to pack up the van. "We should have taken the school bus." Alessandro grunted shoving a duffel bag full of clothes into the trunk of Ronan and Arden's car.

"You know how to drive a bus?" Scotty snapped throwing a case of water into the trunk of the van.

"I do." Ronan perked up, drawing everyone's attention, "Well I mean my Mom was a bus driver. She kind of taught me." he smiled shyly. His sister rolled her eyes and sighed getting in the front passenger seat of her brother's car. "So, whose riding with us?" he asked.

"I will." I said walking over to his car, looking inside half the backseat was crammed with rations.

"You sure?" Scotty asked looking at Ronan suspiciously.

"Yeah." I said as he pulled me aside.

"I kind of wanted to keep an eye on you." he whispered his hand still grabbing onto my arm.

I just scoffed pulling my arm away, "Okay." I said sarcastically. "I'm riding with you." I shouted to Ronan, who nodded.

"Holy Shit!" he yelled suddenly pointing to the street where three dogs were being chased by a large pack of about fifteen.

"Christ." Mallory whispered as one of the crazed dogs leapt forward tackling the smallest dog of the three to the pavement. Lacheya got into the van and so did Alessandro. I watched as the biggest dog of the three turned and ran back to save the small one. He dove at the pack prying the small one loose, the middle dog stood there barking in terror, not knowing whether to run or aid his furry companions.

The pack started to tear at the big one as he yelped in pain, the small one limped over to the middle sized dog and watched the two barking as the big dog was ripped into pieces. "Crazy ass white people get in the damn car!" Lacheya screamed from inside the van only her, Alessandro, and Warren were in the van. I sped over to Ronan and his car and slid into the back seat.

"Fuck, did you see that those dogs just tore that other one apart!" Arden shrieked from the passenger seat. I looked out the back wind sheild. Mallory had opened the back of the van and had climbed in, Scotty had jumped into the car. Ronan finally got into the driver's seat and I watched as Mallory started to call the dogs.

"What the hell is she doing? Arden asked in disbelief. The small injured one and the mid-sized dog looked up and started toward the van. The pack was soon on their trail forgetting the carcus of the large dog. We stayed parked and then Ronan put the car in reverse backing up into the pack of dogs. They slammed into the car violently, Arden let out a small shriek and Ronan shifeted the car into drive. Speeding forward taking out two dogs. I turned and looked out my window seeing the small and middle sized dog jump into the trunk of the van as it drove behind us. I let out a sigh of relief and made a little mental reminder to beat the shit out of Mallory.
