It Was Angel

He headed out

He headed out sniffing the air. Giving up was not an option for him at all.

Turning left, then right, breathing in the bitter scent, he followed on until he heard the faintest whisper of a whimper. All of his senses went on high alert at the sound alone. The blood pumped wildly in his veins as the need to help this mystery woman flooded deep inside him.

Closing his eyes, he took one final inhale, and then he knew where she was. Walking, filled with the need to get to her, he moved in the direction of the noise. Five minutes later he found the woman, and something heated the pumping blood in his veins. 

She was tied to a tree and curled in a ball. Her body was shivering from the cold. The cuts along her body made him hurt for her.

Dropping to his knees, he reached out to touch her, but she flinched away from him. Knox was shocked that it was Angel.
