She’d woken to her power in that moment of panic. Fed by her power, Rollo had grown enough to tear through the cover.
YES! Called it!
He’d then torn through her foster mother.
Ah, yes. I hadn’t forgotten that the trigger event led to the dog killing people.
Honestly…
This punishment is both matching AND proportionate.
The shrill screaming of her foster siblings indoors had drawn his attention, and he went after them too, pouncing on them like any excitable dog might do with a mouse or rabbit.
These ones don’t deserve it, though. At least as far as I know, they’re just fellow victims.
He’d torn through door frames and walls, and an entire section of the house and collapsed in on her foster family. In one fell swoop, she lost the closest things she had to a home and family.
Oh, right. That’s a problem.
It hadn’t been perfect, it had been nightmarish at times, but she’d had so little for so long, she found herself clinging to the scraps she did have. She ran, then, and she kept running for a long time after that.
With the caseworker she had, being homeless might be better than wherever they’d place her next, especially after this.
