Caught!

It was April, two months after Valentine's Day. Chase and Sweetie were officially a couple, and both couldn't be happier. But there were some problems.

Chase and Sweetie both had to follow a no dating rule by order of their owners, they both lived very far away from each other, Chase was constantly busy with missions, and worse of all, The Princess was trying to put Sweetie in an arranged marriage.

It was hard for them. They kept in touch with secret communicators they had, but even talking was hard. They lived in different time zones. As soon as one of them woke up, the other would be too tired to talk. Tonight was one of those nights. It was an early morning for Chase, but nearly midnight for Sweetie. The two were chatting about the issues they were facing. One of them is the arranged marriage problem.

"I just don't know what to do Chase." Sweetie wept. "I keep refusing them but more and more come. I'm scared..."

"I know princess, I know." Chase soothed her. "Everything will be ok."

"When will you be here? I need my prince back."

"I leave in an hour, so I should be there when it's nighttime in Barkingburg."

The Princess had called over Chase to watch over the crown again. He was staying for a week, but both of them were going to use that time to be with each other as much as possible.

"I'm scared, Chase. She's going to do something to me."

"Are things getting worse?"

"Yeah."

"Sweetie, if things are getting worse, I'll have to step in."

"I know. It's just..." Sweetie sighed. "I hoped things would get better. But..." Sweetie let out a loud yawn.

"Get some rest Sweetie, you sound tired."

"But I want to talk to you." Sweetie whined with another yawn.

"I don't want to keep you up, Sweetie. Remember what happened last time?" Chase asked her.

Sweetie whimpered at the memory. Sweetie woke up very tired one day with barely any sleep. The Princess was not happy, and a punishment, overworked Sweetie to the point of physical exhaustion. It was torture, to say the least.

"Ok..." Sweetie said reluctantly. "I miss you."

"I miss you too. I love you."

"I love you too."

Sweetie hung up on her side. Chase sighed. He hated being away from her. She was suffering at Barkingburg, while he's stuck in Adventure Bay. He needed to get Sweetie out of Barkingburg. But how? He can't just take her out, that would be kidnapping, and there were for sure cameras around that would catch him. He could report the Princess to the police, but that wouldn't be any good either. She could easily pay them to not go any further. He has seen it happen way too many times.

Letting out a sigh, he walked out of his pup-house to wake the other pups. He didn't feel like taking out his megaphone, so he decided to wake them individually.

First was Skye.

Knock Knock

"Wake up Skye."

Skye's eyes fluttered open. She was delighted to see Chase.

"Hey Chase~" She said in a flirtatious tone.

Chase rolled his eyes and walked away. He proceeded to wake the others up the same way. He then began packing for Barkingburg. Chase had a small duffel bag, in which he packed his uniform, equipment, and other things. One thing he was putting in was a diamond heart necklace  inside a white case. During a mission in a cave, Chase came across a small chest filled with small diamonds. Chase kept this discovery to himself and decided to make it into a necklace for Sweetie.

Just as Chase was about to put the necklace in, a certain Dalmatian pup appeared.

"Hey, Chase!" Marshall exclaimed happily.

Chase jumped in surprise, dropping the necklace in the process. Thankfully, it was still in its case and the case didn't open.

"Hey, Marshall." Chase replied.

Marshall saw the white case on the ground. He got curious about it. "What's in the case?"

"N-Nothing important." Chase said nervously as he put the case in his bag.

"Ohh, I see." Marshall said, getting the wrong idea. "Good luck with Skye." With that, he walked away.

"Skye would be the last person I'd confess to." Chase muttered to himself.

Chase did have a crush on Skye before. But he quickly got over it after what he saw. On the day he was gonna confess to her, he saw her and Rocky kissing. Chase was heartbroken, but after the next day, he was glad he was too late. He caught Skye kissing Zuma as well, and the next day, Skye was trying to flirt with him. Chase was furious with her but kept quiet about it. He knew that Ryder has had suspicions about it, and decided to let it play out naturally.

Forty-Five minutes passed. The Paw Patrol had an early mission, which was a simple Chickeletta mission. Chase found her rather quickly, being allergic to feathers helped a lot.

It was now time for Chase to leave. The Air Patroller was parked in front of the Lookout, Robodog inside, ready to take Chase away.

"Ready to go Chase?" Ryder asked him.

"Yes sir!" Chase replied.

"Good luck dude." Zuma said.

"Stay safe Chase." Marshall said. The rest of the pups said their goodbyes as well.

"Goodbye guys, I'll see you all in a week." Chase told them. He was about to board the Air Patroller with Ryder.

Until...

"Chase, wait!"

Chase stopped and turned around. It was Skye who called him. The blush on her face told him everything.

The other pups were excited. To their knowledge, Chase has the biggest crush on Skye. Rocky and Zuma did date her for a little bit, but both broke it off quickly. Skye was a bit too much for them. But neither knew Skye dated both of them at the same time.

"Chase, I've wanted to say this for a long time. I-"

"No."

Everyone was shocked by Chase's quick answer. But none more than Skye, who was heartbroken.

"B-But I thought you..." Skye started, but Chase interrupted her.

"I saw what you did Skye. I got over you quick." Chase said. He picked up his bag and got on the Air Patroller. "I'm ready to go Ryder."

Ryder, who was still surprised by what happened, shook his head and got on the Air Patroller with Chase. "I'll be back later pups." The door to the Air Patroller closed. Robo-Dog began to fly the Air Patroller to Barkingburg.

It was gonna be a long flight.

--------------------------

Meanwhile, in Barkingburg, morning came way too quickly for Sweetie. She was still tired but forced herself to stay awake. She didn't want to be punished again.

"Sweetie!"

Sweetie jumped in fright. The Princess marched up to her cage furiously.

"What are you doing?! Your date will be here in ten minutes!" The Princess exclaimed.

"D-D-Date?" Sweetie stuttered. She wasn't expecting it at all. Normally when the Princess brings a new dog over, it was Sweetie's choice on whether there will be a date or not. "B-But I-"

"Since you keep saying no, you don't get a choice anymore. Now get ready!" The Princess stomped away.

Sweetie gulped nervously. She went into her doghouse to get ready. She had two things to wear. A pink vest and a beautiful purple dress. Sweetie chose the vest. Her dress was only for Chase to see. She made it just for him. She walked out of her doghouse, only to be met by her date. A Saint Bernard named Max.

The date took the whole day, and Sweetie hated every second of it. Her date drooled. A lot. And he was very boring. Sweetie fell asleep multiple times. The guy couldn't stop talking either. He would always praise himself and talk about how much better he was than other dogs. Sweetie hated the guy, and she couldn't wait to get back to her doghouse.

The two were currently outside. Max was 'escorting' Sweetie back home. But most of the time he was talking about himself. Sweetie had enough of it and tried to get away from him.

"Uhh, I know where my doghouse is, I should be fine on my own." Sweetie told him as she began walking away. But something shocking was about to happen.

"Is that where we're gonna do it?"

Sweetie turned to Max, confused at what he meant. "Excuse me? Do what?"

"Mating." Max said. Sweetie was shocked. "The Princess promised me that I could mate with you."

'That BITCH!' Sweetie growled in her head. Of course, the Princess would promise something like that. "Well sorry, but she lied to you." Sweetie walked away, but Max stopped her.

"I was promised I could mate with you. I'm not leaving until I do." Max said with a growl.

"You're mistaken if you think I'll mate with you. Now back off." Sweetie continued to keep walking. Trying to get away as fast as she can. She was too weak to defend herself, and an altercation with a bigger dog like Max would not go her way.

Unfortunately, life was against her that day.

"So that's how it's gonna be."

Max tackled Sweetie to the ground. Sweetie yelped, feeling the weight of Max pinning her down.

"Let me go!" She yelled. She tried her best to free herself but had no luck. Max was way too strong.

"I'm not letting go until I'm satisfied with you." Max growled. He then proceeded to reach down and rip Sweetie's vest off. Sweetie yelped and began to cry. She was scared. Was this going to happen? No. She couldn't let it happen. She and Chase's relationship would be ruined forever. She made her last-ditch effort. Extending her claws on her hind paws, she jabbed them on Max's stomach. It wasn't enough to pierce his skin, but it caused enough pain for him to let go of her.

Sweetie didn't waste a second, she ran as fast as she could. The only place safe for her to hide was her doghouse. She could see it in her view. She was almost there. But Max had caught back up to her and tackled her down to the ground. Sweetie tried to move, but she was too exhausted to do anything. She used up all her strength. She could see Max positioning himself on her.

"N-No... Please!" Sweetie begged.

"Not a chance. I was gonna go easy, but it seems I need to teach you a lesson." Max snarled.

Sweetie shut her eyes, already preparing for the worst time of her life. "Chase... I'm sorry." Sweetie thought her life would fall apart right then and there, but a saving grace came just in time. Her prince.

"GET OFF HER!"

Out of nowhere, Max was tackled down by the angry German Shepherd. Chase was furious at Max. He wanted to rip his head off for trying to do such a thing to Sweetie. But he restrained himself from doing so. He clawed the right side of Max's face and pinned his head down hard on the ground.

"Listen here and listen good. If you ever lay your paws on her, or anyone else for the matter. I. WILL. KILL. YOU! UNDERSTAND?!" Chase yelled. Max nodded nervously. "Good. Now, GET LOST!"

Chase released Max from his grasp. Max bolted away from them, never to be seen again. Chase sighed, calming himself down. He turned and ran up to Sweetie, who was very shaken up. Once Sweetie saw Chase, she immediately ran up and hugged him tightly. Crying. Chase hugged her back and kissed her. Chase didn't want to let go of her, neither did Sweetie.

"I missed you." Sweetie said in a muffled voice.

"I missed you too." Chase said.

Sweetie pulled her head away from Chase's chest and leaned forward to kiss him. Chase kissed back. It was their first kiss in a very long time, so their cherished this moment for as long as they can. Unfortunately, it couldn't last forever, and they needed to breathe, so they separated.

"Thank you." Sweetie said.

"Anything for my princess." Chase told her. They nuzzled each other for a while until Chase pulled out his gift for her. "This is for you. I hope you like it."

Sweetie was surprised at the sudden gift. "Chase, you didn't have to."

"I know." Chase smiled. "But I wanted to."

Sweetie put on a small smile. She opened up the case and gasped at the sight of the diamond crown necklace.

"Chase, it's beautiful." Sweetie said in amazement. She put the necklace around her neck. It hid perfectly behind her collar. "Chase, how did you-"

"Shh." Chase hushed her. "It's our little secret, ok?"

Sweetie giggled. "Chase..." She nuzzled into him with a smile, but it quickly turned into a frown. "I wish I could give you something in return. Some mate I am..."

"Don't say that Sweetie, you're the best mate a pup could ask for." Chase said.

"I know, but still, you deserve something." Sweetie said.

"As long as you still love me, I could care less if you give me anything." Chase said, holding her closer.

"If that's the case, then let me show you how much I love you." Sweetie pulled Chase into a French kiss. Chase was surprised at first, but he quickly melted into it. The two continued for a while, until Sweetie decided to open her eyes. When she did, she could see something moving on the wall behind Chase. She ended the kiss early to see what it was, and what she saw horrified her.

"C-Chase. B-Behind you..." Sweetie said in a scared tone. Chase turned around. His heart dropped at what he saw. Right there, pointing directly at them, was a white security camera.

They've been caught.

"W-What do we do?" Sweetie asked. She was nervous and scared. What was going to happen to them? She didn't want to find out.

"We need to run, now! Can you walk?" Sweetie shook her head, she was too weak to move on her own. So Chase put Sweetie on his back and began running. But he didn't make it far. A big electrical shock shot through Chase's body. Chase yelped in pain, dropping Sweetie and falling to the ground.

"Chase!" Sweetie cried. She went up to him to see what was wrong. Her questions were quickly answered when she saw Chase's pup-tag flashing. It was shocking him, and it was powerful. Sweetie tried to take the collar off but to no use. Sweetie tried to just take the pup-tag off, but that didn't work either, the pup-tag also shocked her. But the question remained, who is doing this. Sweetie knew only one person could do this.

"SWEETIE!"

"CHASE!"

Ryder and The Princess walked up to the pair with angry looks on their faces. Sweetie did not want to see them. But Chase was still being shocked. His safety was the first thing on her mind.

"Stop shocking him! He's hurt enough!" Sweetie shouted at them. Ryder took out his pup-pad and stop the electrical charge. Chase gasped for air when the shock ended. It had weakened him a lot, and he struggled to stand.

"Sweetie, I demand to know what you're doing to Chase!" The Princess demanded.

"What I'm doing?! You two are hurting him!" Sweetie shouted.

"Oh, please. You're manipulating him to be your mate." The Princess retorted.

"I'm manipulating him?!" Sweetie yelled.

"Chase, come over here now, where you'll be safe." Ryder ordered.

Chase stood up but didn't go to Ryder. He instead stood protectively in front of Sweetie, growling at the two.

"Stay away from her." Chase growled.

"Chase, she's dangerous." Ryder warned.

"Dangerous? If you want dangerous, look at her." Chase said as he pointed at the Princess. "She's been abusing Sweetie for months! And just recently Sweetie was nearly raped by a dog The Princess brought over."

"I'm teaching Sweetie a lesson, she deserves everything that happened to her." The Princess argued.

"Chase, you have five seconds to come over here right now." Ryder said, getting ready to press the shock button again.

Chase wasn't having it. He wasn't going to allow them to hurt Sweetie. In one swift movement, he put Sweetie on his back and ran off as fast as he can. Ryder pressed the shock button, but Chase resisted the second shock and got far enough for it to be out of range. Ryder slid the right side of his pup-pad out and pressed the button.

"Pups, after them!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pups, after them!"

Chase and Sweetie heard it through his pup-tag. 'How did they get here?' He thought but shook it aside. Chase began to run faster as he entered a forest. Sweetie holding on for dear life. But there was trouble. Sweetie could see a helicopter above them. It was a very familiar helicopter.

"Chase, it's Skye." Sweetie warned.

"Dammit, we'll be caught at this rate." Chase said. He could also hear the other's vehicles closing in as well. All hope seemed lost until a miracle came. There was a fast-moving train just ahead of them, and some cargo cars were opened. Chase ran quickly up to the train. But it was moving fast, they had to act quickly.

"Sweetie, get ready." Chase told her. Sweetie held on tightly. Chase waited for the right moment, when an open cargo car was about to pass them, Chase leaped up and grabbed onto the ledge. Sweetie quickly leaped inside and tried to help Chase, but another shock went through his body, weakening him more. Ryder was close by, and he was increasing the intensity of the shock. Chase could barely hang on, and Sweetie struggled to pull him up.

"Sweetie, I'm not gonna make it." Chase grunted.

"No! You have to!" Sweetie cried. She kept trying to pull him up, but to no use. They were both too weak to keep going.

"Sweetie, whatever happens, I'll always love you." Chase said as another big shock came.

"No. Please! I can't be alone again!" Sweetie said, now crying.

Chase was crying too, he didn't want to leave Sweetie alone, but at this point, he had no choice. Chase was at least glad to know she would be safe and away from them. But still, it hurt to leave her. Using the last of his strength, he leaned up and kiss her on the lips. Sweetie kissed back. Both stayed in that position as long as they could, until another shock came through Chase.

That one did it, Chase passed out, and let go of the train. Tumbling down into the ground.

"Chase!!!" Sweetie cried. She kept her eyes on the unconscious German Shepherd until the train entered a long tunnel.

She and Chase were separated again, maybe for good this time. Sweetie sobbed. She wanted it all to be a dream. A big nightmare. But it was all real.

Her prince was gone.

She cried for another thirty minutes, at that time, the train had exited the long tunnel it was in. All Sweetie could feel was sadness. Torture, nearly rapped, and now she lost her mate. Everything went wrong.

"I-It's all my fault." Sweetie wept. "If I didn't keep trying to take that stupid crown!" She banged her paw hard on the floor. Her sadness was turning to anger. She did everything to show she changed, but it only led to her life being a living hell. Her only reason to keep going was Chase. He was her saving grace, her mate, her prince. She was his princess, they were supposed to be together forever.

But...

...

"No!" Sweetie said with determination. "I'm not letting this end here. Not like this!" Sweetie looked at the necklace around her neck. She held it tightly in her paw. "I tried to be nice, I try to show I changed. But it was all for nothing!" Sweetie stared out into the sky. She had an angry look on her face, but tears were still falling down her face.

"Paw Patrol... Barkingburg... I'll make you all pay for taking him from me!"

Sweetie yanked off her collar and threw it away.

"I'll get him back, no matter what!"

To Be Continued...

Sorry if this seems a bit messy. I'm having a bit of sleep deprivation recently since nighttime is the only time I can write. (I babysit from 7 am to 8 pm) That's all from me now.

Smile :)
