Sky growled at the irritating animal. By now it had alerted every one. He turned and sprinted for the fence with the dog in hot pursuit.  For a second he thought about reducing the annoying beast to a pile of charred bone and carbon ash but thought better of it. Killing the dog would only give the humans a reason to hunt him down and tear him away from his bonded. Not wanting to be caught and shoved into a cage he put on an extra bust of speed, outdistancing the hound.<br/><br/>He jumped over the fence, clearing it easily, leaving the stupid canine behind. He hit the ground with a heavy thump and soft grunt. When he didn't see her he felt a twinge of panic that he had to force down. She wouldn't abandon him. She was just hiding.<br/><br/>He lowered his head and followed her scent trail to the tree she was hiding behind.<span style="font-style: italic">We need to go. Now!</span>He frowned, he could still hear viscous snarling and baying on the other side of the fence. If some one chose to investigate then they would be spotted.<br/><br/>Amos stormed out the door with his rifle in hand, heading towards the far end of the garden, towards the stone fence, fuming. It was difficult to see anything in the dark. He followed the sounds of snarling and baying, gripping the rifle tightly. The beast wasn't known for attacking humans but it was an animal and animals were unpredictable.
