"Rocky! Let him go, Rocky!" I clenched my teeth against the pain, hugging Rocky with all my might. Hearing my voice, Rocky finally let go but still growled lowly at Clyde.

"Clyde, Clyde, you're bleeding." Kayla cradled Clyde with concern.

I could see Clyde's arm was in blood. Rocky had bitten down hard. As Clyde looked over, Rocky lunged again, but Brenda rushed over to help, barely managing to hold him back.

"Kayla, let's get out of here." Clyde gave me a deep look, wrapped his arm around Kayla, and left.

Once I was sure they were in the elevator, I collapsed on the floor, exhausted. The stitches from my surgery had burst open, staining my shirt red with blood.

Brenda panicked, quickly kneeling to check on me. "Are you okay? Why's there so much blood? I'm calling 911 right now. Don't be scared." Rocky whimpered, nuzzling me with his head.

I weakly patted him. "It's okay, Rocky. I'll be fine. Don't panic."

Rocky's big eyes reflected my pale face, and at that moment, I thought I might die.

I got rushed to the hospital, and my doctor hurried back upon hearing about my admission. He was supposed to be off today but returned after learning I was brought in again.
