Drabble: Good Samaritan

[bk_forever]

Title: Good Samaritan

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Weevil, OMC.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 409: Rough at tw100.

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Weevils can surprise you.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Not all Weevils were bad; most of them were happy to remain in the sewers, enjoying the bounty they found there. Occasionally a few would come to the surface and cause trouble, usually males battling over territory, and once in a while one would go rogue, attacking people, but usually they were unobtrusive.

Sometimes though, Weevils did surprising things.

Ianto had followed the one he’d seen lurking outside the tourist office to the docks, where it led him to a scared teenager, badly injured and having a rough time.

“You’ll be okay now,” Ianto reassured him, phoning for an ambulance.

Yeah, I know. Even though I buried Misty myself, his hutch is still there and I sometimes think I see him... It's strange, but I'm kind of glad, like he's still there in spirit,

I'm lucky this house is private property, I never considered that people living in public housing wouldn't be able to bury their beloved friends nearby. That's sad. =(

There was an injured bird in my backyard once and I tried to help it by calling the RSPCA for help but it died. I buried it in the backyard inside a old shoe box. I didn't know what else to do.

Best thing you can do if it dies. I have to bury the occasional dead bird because of local cats.

I love cats and I get conflicted when I'm reminded of how they can be cruel. But that's in their nature.

I know. I like cats, but I love our wild birds, I've been a bird watcher since childhood. It tears me up when I see a cat take a bird and I can't do anything to prevent it. Next door's cat slaughtered our frogs when she was younger, I'd go outside and find dead frogs everywhere. =(

In situations such as these another animal has to protect the one that is in threat.

There is the true story of a dog that protected penguins from foxes. The movie "Oddball" is based on it.

Now how to scare away cats besides maybe using water.

I use water, or chase the cats, but I can't be there watching all the time. I do go running anything I hear a frog screaming. They're quite loud when they're in trouble.
