"And, Luisa! How are things going?" Started Sara.

The siblings and the wolf were on the way home. Vanessa and Akro were now having a conversation while Sara and Luisa were in a talk. It was already dark outside.
As Luisa turned to her older sister, her eyes were sparkling, but not from happiness, it looked like she almost started crying. Sara noticed only now her hanging ears and silent mood.

Sara asked more gentle but confused:" Hey, Lui? Is everything alright?" .

The cheetah turned away:" None of your business." Answered she irritated.

Sara shook her head worried:" Luisa, of course it is! You're my little sister, even you don't like it. I-, I want to help you. Whatever it is!" The grey cat made a break " Is it about the nightmares?"
But her little sister didn't answered.

What else can it be...?

"Is it about Milton?" Asked the cat confused again randomly while putting a hand on Luisas shoulder.

The cheetahs tail suddenly started weeping angrily around and she layed her ears back. She pushed the hand of her sister away aggressively:" I SAID NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! DORK! YOU.DON'T.KNOW.ANYTHING." her growling was deep and her expression was showing pure grief.

Saras eyes widened up:" Oh, sorry.
I should have known this." Sara looked away.

She still hates me, hmpf.

The cat started smiling.

Well, I'm used to...

She looked again to her sister that wasn't on her side anymore, she distandced herself.

I just hope she's fine.

"Sara," As the cat turned she saw her little sister Vanessa " I know why she's like this."
Sara raised her ears again interested:" You know?" Vanessa nodded and than looked in the direction of her cheetah sister:" Well, she and Milton had a fight. They aren't togheter anymore, they broke up.
Luisa told me she saw Milton with another girl. She said she saw them togheter having a date."

"WHAT?!" she couldn't believe what she just heard" Oh no, that must have hurt Luisa." Said Sara sympathetic "I would never tought this from Milton!"

Vanessa hit her fist in her palm:" If I will see that damn brat again, I'm gonna-"

"Hey hey! No violence! There must have happened something, I know Milton good enough to know he couldn't never, ever hurt Luisa!"

"Maybe. But still I'm angry at him." Answered Vanessa "I mean, Luisa wouldn't lie about this!", Sara nooded, lost in toughts.

"Hey, what is up with Luisa?" Asked Akro confused.

"Oh, Vanessa just explained me. She-" Sara was intrerupted by a deep but loud voice.

"Broke up huh? Awww, poor sweet little cheetah." Everyone turned back and Sara saw the one she never wanted to see again.

Lethal, M and Astray were right behind them. Lethal was already holding Luisa aggressively in his claws, one hand on her troaght and one on her mouth. Meanwhile Luisa tried to free herself desperately.

"LET HER GO! OR I'LL-"  Suddenly she heard something landing next to her, taking them by surprise.

Before she knew 'M' knocked Akro down "AKRO!" Sara just wanted to run by his side when she felt hands holding her back aggressively, she tried desperately to free herself, but with no succes.

As she looked up she saw Luisa and Vanessa were also already taken prisoned and already knocked down.

She saw how Lethal went in front of Akro, being ready to stab him with his weapon:" NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE! PLEASE!" tears rolled on her cheeks worried for her boyfriend.
She won Lethals interest:" Anything?" He went before her and lifted her chin up. Sara didn't said or did anything against it, the life of her lover was in her hands right now:" Ye-" she couldn't believe she said what she just said "Yeah. Just, leave him alone!"
PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING!"

"Anything?" Asked he again with a meciveous grin.

"Yes, just leave him alone!"

"Ok, we have a deal than." Lethal looked at 'M' and nodded.
M hitted her so hard on her head side that she fell on the ground from the strong hit.

"I told you, you should watch out." Said 'M' while laughing in a sadistic way.

- '?' Time past -

In the moment as Sara became conscious again she complained about pain:" Argh..." her troaght felt sore while her head pumbed out of pain.
She felt pain all over her body. As she wanted to move she felt something hindering her movements.

Only now noticed she that she wasn't in the forest anymore. She looked on her arms and her feet. She saw she was tightly tight up, like she was kind of thread. It hurted her ankles.

Out of sudden all the memories came back
A-AKRO?! LUISA?! VANESSA?! WHERE ARE THEY! I NEED TO HELP THEM!

As she looked around she saw she was in a room, alone. The walls looked all wet and the roof looked like ot would fall apart anytime,  what made her even more insecure.
As she looked by herself, feeling very cold, she noticed didn't had her clothes from before on. She had a terrible ribald blouse and skirt on.

WHEN TF HAD I CHANGED?! I NEVER WOULD WEAR THIS-

Suddenly she remembered the night before. Memories floated like in a waterfall.
She started breathing heavily.
His heavy body. She started sobbing. His breath in her neck. Tears rolled on her cheeks. She started cry silently, her face becoming redish. As she remembered this words 'Hold still, and it'll be soon over.' She was hopeless, alone, and worried for her siblings and lover.

She didn't even know how much time passed, but it felt like a eternity. Seconds went by like minutes, minutes like hours and hours like days.

Out of despair she started singing:" When *sob* you're put in the *sob* open, and you're tired of hoping,
I'll be there in a moment,
I'll be by your side. *sob*"
Her voice was echoing in the room she was, even it was a small one. But that didn't made her stopping. Even not the non controlling sobbing.

" W-when you're scared and you're *sob* lonely,
When there *sob sob* no one to hold you,
I just want you to know that,
I'll be by your side." She let a sight out, a relieved one. In her toughts she was again on he dandelion field, with her loved wolf.
"You keep me strong, when I can't carry on..."
He saw him holding her hands,
"When you lose your feet, fall down to your knees"
She saw his smiling face,
"When your heart's about to break,"
She heard his voice, singing. What calmed her and let her sighting again.
"I will be your saving grace."

Suddenly she heard a loud 'bang' from not so far away, probably next room. But she didn't cared. She didn't knew if she was dreaming or in reality. She just wanted to be by his side:" When your eyes can't see, take my eyes from me."
She heard doors opening, but she heard only his laughs.
"When you're lost and losing faith,"
She heard again this words, 'I love you."
"I will be your saving grace..." ended she murmuring. She didn't had energy anymore, even she wanted to free herself, and manage to do so, what can she do against 3 aggressive villians.

(Saving grace playing in the background)

In the next moment the door in her room was opened aggressively:" SARA?!" It was the one she was hoping for the most "Akro..." her sight was blurry,

Is it even him...?

Asked she herself. She was too tired to speak and question.

"SARA!? WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?! PLEASE SARA ANSWER!" She felt his embrace. His warm hands. His soft fur. His worried voice. It felt all this like a deja vu from a long time ago. She felt how he untied her softly but fast, not wanting to harm her in any way.

She never was more happier to see him:"A-Akro...*sob*" She started sobbing again, breaking down on him from weakness.
"Shhh, I'm here dandelions." He took her in his arms " I'm gonna bring you home. I'm sorry that I wasn't by your side."
His voice was sorrowful.
Sara took her last power to speak:" It *sob* wasn't your fault." Saras voice sounded sore.
"Hey, hey, it's important that we are togheter now. And I promise, I will never ever let something like this happen to you again, ok?"
He kissed her on her forehead. But Sara was already fast asleep, exhausted by the events.

In her dreams the happening played again like in a movie...

Lethal was standing before her, with her being there tiden up on the chair tightly:" DON'T DARE SPEAK BACK TO ME!" Lethals voice was loud and intimidating.

Sara spitted in his direction, almost reaching him:" HOW DO YOU DARE?!"

Sara angrily started activading her  powers, wanting to free herself and flee, but Lethal just smirked.

Out of sudden she felt a electric shook going trough her body, she screamed in pain. She panted heavily as it stopped.

As she looked up she saw some kind of remote control in Lethals hand, than she realized, her oversized big collar hanging on her troaght:" Sorry Kitty, but I wouldn't know you were so small. So it's a bit oversized." Letahl started wandering around her "Hmm," Continued Lethal like nothing happened "You remind me of myself."

Sara layed her ears back:" W-what do you mean?" Asked she confused and insecure but tried not to show fear.

Lethal turned to her, his both eyes drilling in hers:" I felt once like you. Alone, hated, rejected, Pain poured in me. But I found a antidote against it..." Sara started breathing heavier and heavier as he approached her. She turned her head desperately away from him, tears in her eyes.

Leave me alone!

As Lethal arrived to her he took violently her kin, so their eyes meet again:" It was revenge what healed my wounds. And you, my beautiful angel. Will be my healer." Sara breathed heavily, tears in her eyes, " You are only, mine."

Lethal starred in her eyes, with her sobbing:" Hmpf, You look even cuter when you are scared. How about,...

Some fun?"
