(Another Chapter! Whoop whoop!)

Thunder cracked as a hainu runt ran down the empty streets, trying to escape the ran that pelted the poor pups fur and feathers. Her tiny wings drenched; grounding her from flying. Those tiny paws carried her all the way to an old, decrepit alley way. Boxes were strewn throughout the alley way, some old trash cans knocked over, and a large dumpster not to far from the entrance. The pup yipped in fear as the thunder rang out behind her. She ran inside one of the fallen boxes and attempted to warm herself up, only for the box to rip from all the water pouring down on it.

The poor runt was completely soaked and whimpering in fear, so she scampered underneath the dumpster. Her body was finally protected from the harsh rains outside, but her stomach decided that it wanted food. The rumbling of her belly wasn't anything new to the pup, but she needed to fill it soon. Before she could force her tired body to stand again, a loud bang made itself known. The dark night sky lighting up as if Thor himself had landed on Midgard. After seeing that, the young hainu decided to sleep for now and eat later.

Hours later, though it felt like seconds to the pup, she began to stir from her slumber beneath the dumpster. Her body jumped harshly at the sound of banging came from the garbage filled container. Whimpers left her maw as the pain spread throughout her head from the sudden impact. "What was that?" A teen boy questioned. His friend next to him shrugged. "I don't know; probably some stray." The boys then nodded to each other in agreement. They then turned around, walking back to the restaurant the hey just excited. "Hopefully the garbage bag didn't crush 'em."

Slowly creeping her way out from beneath the dumpster, the pup started to search for a safer shelter. Paw pads stepping in a rushed manner as she was on the search again. Not an eye was batted towards the runt as she ran down the busy city streets. Food was no longer on her mind because the need for shelter seemed to outweigh her hunger.

While making her way through the crowded sidewalk, she bumps into someone. The sudden stop caused the pup to spring back and fall onto her face. A whine leaving her jaws as she attempts to get back up. The person, who happens to be a skeleton, looks down at the pup in confusion. "What in the AUs is this little one? Where did you come from?" The monster asks aloud, not expecting a response from the runt. The pup shakes herself and ruffles her tiny feathers, preparing herself for another run.

Before the pup could get up, two skeletal hands pick her up. The phalanges carefully avoiding the wings, knowing that any animal's wings are sensitive. The runt began to wiggle, afraid of this stranger holding her. Her yips and growls surprise the skeleton, but he doesn't put her down; instead, he cradles her in his left arm. The monster then gently pets the hainu, relaxing the fearful pup in his arm. "I'm not gonna hurt ya. Shh, you're ok. That's it." The pup then snuggles into the warmth of the strange skeleton's jacket.

The soothing pets and calm voice lull the hainu runt to sleep; her head buried in the jacket sleeve. "Poor thing is smaller than any pup I've ever seen. I should take them to a vet, or something. She doesn't look like she belongs to anybody either." The skeleton, who's name is Color, notices. "Lets go get you all checked up." Color then begins walking towards the local veterinary hospital. His figure fading in the distance as he continues on his way. "I'll help you, little one.

I promise."
