August
Story of Squishy:
August looked up at the black stars, her sorrowful, deep brown eyes shining in the light. She had recently recieved the news that her brother, Rawk, had passed. She had lived for a time of two years. Her mother and father were perfectly alive, as was her sister, Saphira. But that did not matter. She had always been close to her brother, who had spent more time with her than any of them. If squishies could have cried, she would have cried an ocean by now. At this point, she had decided to leave this place, knowing that being near his burial site would only make it worse. She breathed a quiet prayer and began her journey, unaware of the sadness to come.
August had made it to the Grand Canyon, a specific part of it that was barren and deadly. She shuddered, despite the burning heat. The beast crept on, blending in to the more shadowey areas. "I bet there are death worms around here..."She muttered, her ears twitching. "Maybe even a chupacabra or two."She shook her head, dismissing the eerie thoughts. August padded on, the heat slowly raking away her energy. She panted, no slaver dripping from her tongue. Her vision was slowly failing, and she felt no liquid in her body. "UUhh.."She finally collapsed. A young male squishy noticed her as he was hunting. He gasped, quite shocked to see another of his kind. He picked her up by her scruff and dragged her along as quickly as he could, headed for the river.
August finally awoke, and she felt better. The male had managed to force some water down her throat, so she was no longer dehydrated.
"I'm glad you're alright,"He said brightly."I'm Crescent. What's your name?"
"Oh...My name's August. It's nice to meet you. Thanks for getting me over here, I think you did,right?"
Crescent nodded."Yup."
She got to her paws, almost slipping on the wet rock on which she had been lying. "I must keep going."
"Where are you headed?"
"I'm trying to ....I don't know,"August admitted.
"I see. It's very lonely around here...do you think I could come?"
"I don't see why not!"She would be glad of company.
The two set off together, never staying anywhere long. After some time, they became the best of friends. That is how they are now, joyful. They were never apart, panicking at the times that they get seperated. But it was not to last.
Crescent and August padded along, going through a forest. Neither of them noticed the cougar, watching with its keen eyes. It suddenly attacked, going for Crescent.
"Run!"He yelped to his companion.
"I can't leave you!"She replied fearfully.
"GO!"His voice became angry and agitated, and August fled. She looked back at him, watching the beast annhilate her best friend. She gagged, backing away.
"No..."She whispered."Crescent..."He was dead now. It was out of her paws. August rushed away, furious and heart-broken.
To this day, she recalls that horrible incident. She swore to never let that fate fall to anyone if she could had any chance of stopping it. August's story continued. She stayed at that forest, hiding in the shadows. She is a protector to all who enter that place, risking her own life for strangers.
Yeah...it was kinda suckish and short..XD
