Kris and Mirage said that we needed someone to show us around the base. Kris pulled out a walkie talkie and spoke into it:
"Taylor, come to the main cavern."
We waited a few minutes, then a girl dog with long fur walked up to us.
"This is Taylor, she will be your guide." Said Mirage.
This is what Taylor looks like:
I could tell by the look on her face that she was the rude sarcastic type, she rolled her eyes and grumbled.
"Lets get this over with....." she muttered "Follow me."
She led us through some dark tunnels, then they opened up to another cavern. There were about ten dogs fighting, a few were correcting the techniques of the others.
"This is the training area, where you will learn how to fight, use guns and other stuff..." explained Taylor, heaving a sigh.
I spoke up "Um.... do you think i could use a bow and arrow, I'm good with those."
Taylor got a thoughtful look on her face "I'll see what I can do."
Then we walked into another cavern with beds and injured dogs laying on them, I cringed when i saw one with giant slash marks going down one side of her face.
"A victim of a MUTT...." murmured Taylor, seeing my glance "This is the hospital, where we heal the wounded." she added.
Then we walked down a hall with lots of doors.
Taylor stopped in front of one "This is your room."
She opened the door revealing a room bunk beds with three beds and pale blue walls. A door at the back said: RESTROOM, and there was a trunk to store stuff.
"I'll see you all for training in three hours." said Taylor closing the door as she walked away.
We took the time to rest and talk, Chase walked over to me.
"Hey do you want to go to the hotel roof?" he asked.
I shrugged an nodded, "sure." I said with a small smile.
We went out side and walked down the hall and through the chambers. After walking up the stairs we looked up to see the trap door, i reached up and knocked my fist against it.
"Drey! Drake! open up!" I called.
We could hear a squeaking sound as they moved the couch over, light poured down on us as Dray opened the trap door. They helped us up and closed the trap door again. Then we walked up three flights of stairs until we came to the roof. I gasped, there was a rooftop garden with flowers of all colors and shapes. I walked through it then came to a bench, I sat down on it and admired the view. Chase came and sat next to me on the bench. We started talking about stuff, I'm surprised we used up almost two hours talking. Then a slightly tricky topic came up.
"I can't believe we're part of a rebel alliance." he sighed.
I smiled "I can believe it either. But I can't wait to kick Dan's butt."
For a moment Chase stared at me, his expression unreadable.
"You liked him didn't you?" Chase asked me quietly.
I blushed, but luckily my fur hid it. "Um, ya, but not anymore, not since he betrayed us....."
Chase rubbed the back of his head and looked down at his feet.
Awkward moment I thought to myself. We just stayed silent for a few moments before Chase said something unexpected.
"Your not like any girl I've ever met before." he said with a small smile.
I looked up in surprise, "Really? how?"
"You've been through so much, you stood up against robbers, kept your cool when we were kidnapped..."
I interrupted him "So did you."
He shook his head "Now way! I was freaking out, though i didn't look like it."
I smiled, amused.
He continued "your the one who kept herself together after Streak and Mary died and helped us escape. You were the first one to decide to join the alliance. I don't know any other girl that would do that."
I blushed "Well I'm not your average type of girl." I said quietly.
I began leaning in, and Chase did too. When our lips were almost touching, my watched beeped. We pulled our heads away and I looked down at my watch.
"We have to go down for training..." I murmured.
Chase seemed sad, but he stood up and began walking to the stairs, I followed. I wondered, why is there always something that ruined special moments?
