It had only taken a month since sara had found herself working at the cast bar that her life began to move towards a stable pattern, get up on weekdays, go to school, then go to the bar. after work or hanging out (even though her employment was still a grey area due to her age mika still didnt want to violate workplace laws, and sara took full advantage of her employee discount) It was the first time in her life that she had enjoyed the weekends, seeing as she had an excuse to be somewhere besides her house.
She had met the rest of Mika's staff; terra, the other barkeep and waitress, a tall black cat who was constantly brushing off the amorous glances of other patrons but kept tossing doe eyes at mika which he never seemed to see, and whom she had been jealous of until realizing how bad of a place this put her in. james the tiger, the cook and sometimes bouncer (not that he was needed when mika was at the front) was always complaining that he couldnt get the recipes quite right, and aslesha and able, the brother sister duo who served the coffee in the morning. Sara always liked his drive to be the best, just like she wanted to be the best at her games.
Mika had had quite a few misgivings about employing a child at his video game centric bar, knowing that she would probably get herself distracted by the games, he had not wanted to fire her for it. Fortunately for the bar's owner it had not been a problem, Sara kept a very level head on her shoulders, and while she kept an eye on the screens, the only time she ever stopped working because of it was to tap someone on the shoulder and help them out with a particularly difficult level or section with some well timed advice.
Sara's life was improving in more ways then just the excuse to be away from her parents and regular income, her social status had taken a bit of a jump by being the one who knew how to beat the games everybody else was struggling with. Mika, looking on from the sidelines was amazed how much a little push towards socializing had helped the girl.
After work each night Mika would drive Sara home and they would talk, sometimes about school or video games, sometimes just about life. these were Sara's favorite points of the day, Mika wouldnt make her talk, so if she didnt want to she simply wouldnt though that almost never happened; she liked the oppertunity to be completely candid with someone, even if it was her boss.
Sara's newfound popularity had other effects also, she began to be approached by more boys, not the jocks typically, but those with a passing interest in video games or who were closet nerds began to talk to her more. 
There was however one popular boy who began to make it a point to approach her whenever possible, sitting with her at lunch, walking with her on her way to the bar, and staying at the bar longer then nessecary simply to be close to her. He was a grey wolf with a beautiful shining coat, a few years older then she was at the time and rippled with muscle. He played football and pretty much embodied everything about being a jock, low iq but perfect grades curtosy of being a football star, the kind of boy who coveted things before anything pointed to them being his.
Sara was flustered whenever she saw the boy, she was absolutely sure that she didn't deserve a boy like him, he had girls all over him, why would he go for her? but over the course of the months she began to accept his affections, slowly warming to the boy's advances.
One day when Sara and Wolf were walking to the bar Wolf grabbed her hand and pulled her into a small park along the walk, where he pushed her against a tree, she didnt resist, not wanting to ruin what she saw as a budding friendship.
"Sara, you know ive been interested in you the last couple months right?" Wolf asked, struggling to keep his breath under control, his prize so close.
"well yes, i thought you wanted to be friends" the fear was becoming evident in her eyes, too niave to know that his intentions had been to get into her pants all along.
"i want to be more then friends" he said with some force, moving closer to her, enjoying how his proximity was making her wriggle uncomfortably, taking his sweet time moving in for the kiss, taking sadistic glee in her discomfort and resistance.
"please stop!" she cried out, unfortunately for her Wolf had chosen his location well, he was the only person around to hear or see and her pleas only encouraged him.
Her legs began to wobble, they would have buckled if wolf had not been holding her against the tree, she couldnt believe the nice boy who she had been beginning to like in spite of them not sharing any interests had turned into this aweful beast so quickly.
Just a few moments away Mika looked at the clock on the wall, noting that Sara was late, she always rushed to the bar even if that obnoxious little shit "Wolf" slowed her down a little bit, she was never later then a couple of moments, he called out to terra to watch the car and then hopped in his car and drive her route to see if he could offer any assistance.
back at the tree sara was starting to feel nauseous because of Wolf's breath, he finally went in for the kiss and sara without even thinking bit down on his lip savagely, which caused him to recoil back and swear at her with every colorful word he knew, a drop of blood working its way down his lips "better stay away from your mouth I guess, we can deal with that some other time"
he shifted his grip, pinning her hands with just one of his and began pushing up on her shirt, bearing her breasts, she didnt wear a bra yet so the crazed wolf had easy access and began feeling her up as he pulled the shirt closer to her hands. "dont you dare struggle while im taking this off" he indicated the shirt.
All Sara could manage was a nod, she was so confused and scared, though she had strength in her little arms, and could probably have out run the wolf if she got away her brain refused to think of any logical way out of this other then submission to his whims. Wolf managed to get the shirt off and pulled out his phone, snapping some pictures. "now Sara, I hope you werent considering telling anybody about this" the fox spoke softly in an immitation of Mika's usual commanding tone that would have been commical if not for the situation, "because I wonder what would happen to all your new friends if these pictures ever got out" he grinned toothily his mouth bending into a fiendish approxamation of a smile.
he stood there looking at her for just a moment, but it was enough, sara and wolf heard the sound at the same time, the shutter of another camera phone going off "well hello there" mused mika, leaning on his open car door "what were you saying about those pictures going out? because frankly i think that attempted rape looks a bit more damning then showing off your tits, dont you think?"
Wolf released Sara's hand instinctively, turning around to face mika, the much smaller fennec slipping down the tree as he did. "you know thats a bit creepy sir, sneaking up on a consenting loving couple like that" wolf practically purred, pure malice in his voice.
"the video recording says otherwise" Mika's frank reply sounded off without hesitation, the false accusation bouncing off him like rubber. "now, you are going to get lost or i am going to call the cops right now, though I would rather sara not be wrapped up in all that"
The wolf's head turned down as he realized the situation he was in, and he knew that while sara not getting wrapped up in the legality of the situation was a valid reason mika was also giving him a mercy, he hated the gryphon's pity.
the wolf stalked his way to the entrence to the park which was still blocked by the large gryphon, and as he brushed by he saw his chance, jumping up to snatch the phone out of mika's hand. Unfortunately for wolf, Mika had been waiting for it, and swung his other fist into the wolf's side in a brutal roundhouse punch sending the wolf staggering against the park's fence.
"I told you to LEAVE!" anger laced the barkeep's voice giving him a tone neither of the cubs had heard before, his tone was not scary because he was angry, his tone was scary because it just faintly let slip the full amount of rage the large gryphon was holding back, and just hearing it made the fox dash in a panic, scrambling away on all fours until he could get to his feet.
Mika walked over to the softly sobbing fox girl, picking up the discarded shirt on the way but refraining from touching her quite yet "everything is going to be ok" he said softly, trying to comfort the sobbing fennec "you are going to be ok"
sobs wracked the small fennec, interrupting her every couple of words "why is everything like this? whener something good happens to me something like this happens" she broke down into sobbing and unintelligable sounds that might have been words. 
"its going to be alright little one, I promise, can you stand?" Sara tried to get up, her legs were still shaking and buckled under her. "can i touch you?" asked Mika, Sara nodded whilst still trying to keep down her sobs. his intent was to pick her up and carry her back, but his protective instincts intervined and he went to touch her face, placing a gentile hand under her chin and wiping her tears with a thumb, still whispering to her a simple promise "things are going to be ok."
