The night was cold and dim. Mist filled the air coating everything in tiny water droplets. Most of the grassy park was turned to mud and slick stone. But that didn’t bother them. As long as it wasn’t pouring they would still do their nightly walk. He liked the smell of rain and the cool feeling of grass and stone underfoot. The walk was his favorite time. He thought Gerald liked it too. In the evening when Gerald came home they would head out to the park. They would walk the paths taking in the sunsets or stars. At the far end of the park they would sit under an old oak to eat a small meal. Gerald always brought the best snacks. Tonight was no different. They ate in comfortable silence and sat together as the night grew darker. Soon it was time to journey home. As they walked down the narrow path that led to home silence suddenly gave was to a monstrous roar. Turning back, the dark path was illuminated with bright light. A rough shove made him stumble sideways and a rush of wind tugged at him as the monster veered closer. The sound was intense. Low growls and high squeals. Like nothing he had heard before. In the dimness he could make out a large fast moving form passing inches from him. Cowering he pressed closer to the edge of the road. The creature stopped briefly before speeding away. And then it was silent. Gerald? He called out hesitantly. No answer. Stepping forward he found him sleeping. But why was he sleeping? He tried to wake him with a nudge. Surely it would be better to sleep at home. But he wouldn’t wake. No matter what he did he stayed asleep. So he laid down to wait.

They didn’t go home that night.

“Have you heard about the ghost dog?” Caleb looked up and met Skylar’s mischievous eyes. She watched him grinning her sketchbook held close. “There’s no such thing.” He replied sternly and looked back at his book. “Ghosts don’t exist.” Skylar rolled her eyes and gave him a playful shove. “Sure they do.” She grinned “and monsters and cryptids and everything.” Caleb continued reading his book as she continued to talk about her ghost stories. “Haha yea right,” Caleb replied sarcastically, “I’m reading leave me alone.” With a humph Skylar pulled the book away. “I’m serious.” She met his eye and tried to look serious. “Haven’t you heard of the ghost dog? It appeared on a Friday the thirteenth and comes back every night. It just wanders silently and stares with dead white eyes.” Caleb rolled his eyes. “Its just a dog. Calm down. It’s probably lost.” He watched frustration creep into Skylar’s eyes. “Oh yea? Then I dare you to stay out there tonight.”

“Fine. I will.”

Caleb sat on a bench and pulled his hoodie closer. It was cold and dark. He hated this. He hated the dark. He didn’t like the cold. But he had to prove to Skylar that her story was completely unfounded. It wasn’t all bad though. He had his favorite book and it was quiet. So he settled in with a small reading light and let the hours pass. So far: nothing. So involved with his book, Caleb didn’t notice the time pass. Something rustling in the bushing snapped him back to reality. Looking around he called out, “hello?” Something light colored was off in the distance, but he couldn’t quite place it before it moved out of view. Huh… weird. Shaking his head he assumed it was nothing. But in the back of his mind he remembered what Skylar said. That’s ridiculous, he thought to himself. Nothing like that would ever happen. Right? The rustling moved closer and Caleb set the book down. Standing he reached for the book light but it barely lit the area around him. He should have brought a flashlight. Its fine.. its fine… its fine… He was tired. He should have just gone home. Turning to get his things he froze as a thin figure appeared out of the bushes. The dog was pale in color, thin, with white eyes and was drooling. Logically his mind went: its just a dog, but every other part of him was screaming ghost dog. Or rabid dog? Either way he was out. Scrambling back he tripped over his feet. As ghost dog lurched forward and he closed his eyes. And felt a small cold touch on his cheek. Cracking open an eye he saw the dog standing in front of him. It wagged its tail calmly then searched his bag dragging out some uneaten food. “Oh…” Caleb let his breath out. Just a dog. Of course. “What’s your name?” he asked the stray noticing an old dirty collar.

“Napstablook? Nice to meet you”

He had searched for Gerald for a while. Another human had come and took him away. But he remained here at the park, waiting for him to come back. They needed to finish the walk. Today there was a new human sitting at their spot. Curious he walked towards him. He could smell food. It reminded him so much of old times. Maybe this human wanted to share to? He could smell fear on the human suddenly and heard him fall to the ground. Confused Napstablook, approached the human and nudged him with his nose. He seemed fine. Turning he turned and looked for the food. Upon hearing his name Napstablook turned towards him tilting his head. Part of him knew Gerald wasn't coming back. But he had wanted to wait. Maybe this human would be his new Gerald. Only time would tell.

"Lets go home" the human said.

Collar color: Steel

Writing: Tensions were high that night, an uncertain, nervous energy stirring in the chilled desert air. They had guests today, a modest little group who's sought their hospitality until a freak sandstorm died down. Tourists, they claimed. Potential thieves, the two hissan murmured to one another, exchanging a look. The dark veil of a nearing witching hour would be the time to strike, should paranoia prove true, leading to the now. Mira sat within Rosie's stall, the pale ivory canine keeping a close eye on the most mild-mannered of their three charges, the one least likely to defend herself should anything untoward actually occur. While the lone stallion terrified the hired hands as a matter of playful routine, and Lynx was belligerent on the best of days... The amber dun mare was known as the sweetheart of the stable for a reason, and far, far too trusting for her own good.

Untested as it was, there was no guarantee that the naïve mare wouldn't just walk off with the strangers if they asked her nicely.

It made the two canine guards twitch, just a bit.

Which was why after patrolling the grounds and once more warning the other two equines to be on guard, Rou found herself padding forward on silent paws towards the last occupied stall. Some manner of commotion caused bone white ears to prick as a low growl gave way to a rumbling bark, familiar, Mira's, the sort of warning that should precede swift retribution delivered with utmost prejudice. A tall shadow shifted in the dark, as claws scrambled amidst a bed of straw and yipping growls filled the once silent air. Rou's lips pulled back in a mute snarl, bolting towards the clamor with all the haste a small hissan could muster when their wards were threatened- a not inconsiderable nor unimpressive pace. Her heart beat a thunderous tempo within her, justified wrath swelling as something crashed within the stall and the younger canine let out a sudden yelp, seemingly pained. A rumbling growl grew from somewhere deep in her chest, building rapidly as she finally reached the merle mare and pale pup's location. Darting under the thick green rope that separated her stall from the rest of the hallway, the pied canine let loose with a bellowing bark which would sooner seem at home from a far larger beast. An equine shrilled out a startled squeal, a hissan yelped, something clattered and pale paws met wet straw, yet no scent of copper nor stranger filled the air.

Sight having never been her strong suit and even less so in this gloom, pale ears swiveled and a dark nose drank deeply of the desert night. Shadows shifted around her, two pale blobs and a dark lump on the ground. Three rapid heartbeats, two slowly calming, three breathing bodies- just her, Mira, and Rosie. No copper scent. No stranger scent. No heavy human scent other than that of the last hand to of worked with the merle mare, many hours ago. The dark lump was too small for a man, unless it was a young man-pup, and there had been none of those in their visitors' group. Slowly, her suspicions as to what had been occurring before her arrival began to shift. Not relaxing just yet, the palest of the trio gingerly slunk towards the dark lump, lips curled and sharp teeth barred. Once she came close enough to observe it even in the dark hues of midnight however, her maintained aggression bled away. It was a bucket, a water bucket. Likely dislodged from its hook somehow- and yes, a swift glance revealed that there was no dark lump on the wall where there ought to be one. It was Rosie's bucket. Not a man, not a stranger, not a thief in the night. Pale ears flattened in irritation as the dots connected.

Her fellow guard had probably been fooling around, entertaining the mare in a bid to keep her from stressing over their visitors to the point of potential colic, and had most likely accidently upended the bucket in her mounting enthusiasm.

Chuffing lightly in irritation at the entire misunderstanding, Rou padded closer to the smaller of the pale shapes before licking an apologetic stripe across her fellow guardian's crown. Reciprocating the gesture in easy, accepting, forgiveness, Mira's attention was swiftly returned to reassuring the merle mare that she was alright. Watching the pair for a moment, Rou blinked, realizing that it was entirely likely that the pair had bonded while she'd been out patrolling. The pair had always been rather close, one a dreamer wishing to protect, and the other a dreamer needing to be protected- the only malik in the stable at the moment who really needed the additional protection a personal hissan offered... However they hadn't fully clicked yet, at least not before tonight.

Suddenly feeling like she was intruding upon an incredibly personal moment the longer she remained, it was a slightly shaken and somewhat sheepish canine who swept out of the stall like a ghost, unnoticed by the pair quietly doting upon one another- taking turns assuring the other that they were indeed alright after the unexpected scare. Slinking off into the night, Rou resumed her patrol more adamant than ever that not a single soul would reach her wards. After all, not only did she have three equines to guard, but the newly bonded pair deserved some time to themselves. All the more so considering Rou had already so very rudely interrupted them once tonight.

Nothing more disturbed the quiet peace of the desert night, until dawn once more deigned to break across the sprawling sky.

Writing: The time that I scared the girl I had a crush on I was so embarrassed and felt so guilty. Eira is a gorgeous girl who I would love to get the chance with but she seemed too good for me. One day I saw her laying by the fire and so I came up from behind her and gently touched her back to say hello. I wanted to lay next to her and talk to her but my plans went completely wrong. She yelped and jumped out of panic. I felt so bad and she said to me "Mentor, why do you always scare me? Is it just to get my attention? You really annoy me and I wish you would leave me alone. Stop scaring me." She rolled her eyes and scoffed and I tucked my tail between my legs and my ears drooped. I said "I'm sorry Eira, I didn't mean to scare you. I-I-I ju-ju-s-st wanted to come talk to yo-you but I will l-leave you alone." She looked at me and her emotions changed but I turned my back. I could feel tears starting to gather in my eyes and I slowly walked away from Eira. I laid down in the other room and cried to myself. I thought "Why do I always scare everyone? I am gentle and don't mean to scare them. Well there goes my chance of ever getting to talk to Eira." I heard footsteps coming towards me but I didn't look up or move. It was Eira and she lightly nudged me and laid down next to me. She said "Mentor I am sorry I hurt your feelings. Everyone thinks that you try to scare people and I thought so too. I am sorry for being rude and judgmental." I looked over at her and smiled a little and I knew that I had a chance with her. We cuddled up and talked for hours. Now the rest is history
