Hanz gets very excited at Sylvester's response, but contains his excitement realizing that it is coming at a terrible cost to Sylvester. Although Hanz is in a sense helping him, Hanz is also shattering the world which he deluded friend has held sacred for years. He licked his chops and sighed before starting to lay down the cold hard facs to Sylvester."Well.......I will let you decide who to trust, the voices in your head or me.........I can't force you to believe me...." He trails off getting ready to lay it down on him"BUt no......you will not see her for a very long time. Remember our last discussion like this? You would have to die and go to heaven to go see her, but it isn't your time yet......." he repeated the hard words seeing how Sylvester takes them "No...she isn't coming back, I'm all you have now..."

"Grr...get away from me!" Sylvester suddenly screams, clamping his forepaws over his ears as he is apparently being confronted by the voices again and becoming confused, "Leave me alone!" He lies there gasping shallowly for what seems like an eternity before he calms down again somewhat. Reaching out, he wraps both his front paws around Hanz's forelegs as if he's clinging for dear life. Perhaps he's trying to get a grip on what is real and what is not. "Don't leave me by myself, Hanz," he pleads desperately, "The voices are telling me to hurt myself...so I'll die like my mother...and I don't want to. I don't wanna die, Hanz..."

Rushing down the fire escape steps, Kanika hears a loud crash, and screaming. "It's a Spoogledorf," it says. He quickens his pace, worrying more and more as more muffled yells reach his ears. After reaching the bottom, he stealthily creeps his way to a corner to hear the commotion caused by Sylvester and Hanz...though mostly Sylvester. Kanika ponders who Belladonna might be, and what she had to do with Spoogledorfs. After hearing less and less from either of them, he wondered what had happened. So he peeked around the corner and saw.... Hanz clutching what looked like the lifeless body of Sylvester. Kanika was shocked by the sight and pulled his head back around the corner. "How could he??..." he started, but was interrupted by the voices around the corner as they started up again. He was puzzled, but sure that none of what he thought was going on that moment had actually happened. Kanika listened intently while figuring out the motives that drove Hanz. "What is it about this Sylvester that interests him so much? It just doesn't seem like.....the kind of dog he is, to just be helping another."

"Its ok...it's ok Sylvester." Hanz grabbed Sylvesters paws and pulled him closer to hum. " I won't let them get you, fight it Sylvester! As long as you have me I won't let them get you...." He hugged Sylvester again, knowing that a small war must have been waging in his twisted reality. Whether or not to listen to the voices he has listened to and trusted until only a short time ago when Hanz entered the seen. "C'mon Sylvester, you can do it....don't listen to them!" Hanz said trying to encourage him to break the grip they held on him. Hanz let his eyes gaze as he cradled Sylvester, and low and behold he saw a Shadow coming out from from behind the corner. " Hey! Shadow is that you?Wait on minute while I sit here with Sylvester " He said in a loud whisper, not wanting to get Sylvester distracted from the mental war he was waging.

"They're so loud, Hanz," Sylvester whimpers quietly, "I don't like loud things and I hate it when they scream at me. They want to kill me..." He closes his eyes tightly against the screaming in his head and tries to focus on Hanz's voice. He gradually seems to be coming back to reality as his ears stop twitching and the tension slowly leaves his body. Finally, he becomes still and quiet. "I think they went away," he speaks in a sort of stunned tone, almost one of awe, "I don't hear them any more. You...you just saved my life...again."

Hanz turns away from the shadow around the corner and over to Sylvester. "See...I knew you could do it. I didn't save you! You saved yourself, I was just here to give you support" He smiled tenderely as he was happy to see that Sylvester had finally gotten a little more grip on reality. He got back up on all fours " I'm glad to see you getting a little tighter grip on sanity"

"No, you don't understand," Sylvester rambles on in his excitement, "I couldn't have stood against them alone. They would have killed me--or caused me to hurt myself...like last time...and other times before that. I owe you my life, Hanz."

Hanz patted Sylvester on the back as a sign of congratulations. "I'm glad to hear that you feel like you have made such progress with yourself. Remember, I won't let them do anything to you as long as I am able.."He muttered to himself afterwards" Which is as long s you are around and more." Then quickly regaining a cheery attitude he gave Sylvester a friendly noogie " As long as you an' I stick together you will be fine, K?"

"Know what? That actually makes sense to me," Sylvester smirks, wagging his tail, "I mean, I certainly don't plan on wandering off. I'm not stupid. I know my survival depends on whether or not I stay with you, but--more than that--I know you're my friend...and friends don't abandon each other--or do they?"

Hanz looks at Sylvester and smiles "No, don't worry I won't be leaving you anytime soon that I can think of, and I would never do anything to hurt you so remember that ok?" He laughs a little as he sees Sylvester so extatic with joy. "Calm down, calm down, but before you go and throw yourself blindly to the wind are you sure there isn't anything you want to know about me or anything first?" Han asks assuming he will get some pointless questions that will make Sylvester feel all the more secure in his sanity and his friendship with Him that seems to be the key of keeping Sylvester's delicately balanced sanity

"Yeah," Sylvester replies with a nod, "There are a couple of things I wanted to ask you. That day--when we were in the warehouse and I was sick--who were you talking to? Do you hear voices sometimes too? Is that why you were able to help me?"

Caught up in the moment Hanz doesn't even bat an eye as he begins to anwer Sylvesters question. " Oh that? "He laughed " That was just Silva....." He pauses catching himself right before blurting out the rest of Silvanus's name. "That was just me talking to myself to keep calm" He said, uneasy about lying to Sylvester. "That was all, and I was able to help you cause I calmed down enough to think clearly and realize the kinda help that you needed. " He cracked out another smile to mask the uneasyness he felt.

"Oh, that's a relief," Sylvester sighs, "I thought maybe you had caught something from me. I wouldn't wish this torture on my worst enemy. It's an awful thing to live with, Hanz. It's scary and...and frightening and...it scares me."

"Don't worry Sylvester, what you have can't be caught like a disease. It is something that is done to you, or you do to yourself. The person who used to own you made you like this, with his cruel and inhumane treatment. You won't have to worry about being treated again like that with me."He exhaled a deep asigh of relief with Sylvesters belief that he had merely been talking to himself. " It must be a terrible thing to live with Sylvester"

OOC Thanks for the support guys. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post before I went to the hospital; had less than 10 minutes so I IM'd two people, grabbed some things/clothes, and was gone.

Shadow was still woozy from the fall, he had hit his head harder than at first realized. He finally began to snap out of it.
What...Happened......Who....is there? He whined.
Is that you, Hanz? Why are there three of you??? Shadow moaned, seeing triple momentarily because of the crash.
