Lalalalalalala, moresome time! xD Sorry. I iz bored. xD
I glanced around at my friends when I saw someone beckoning me. Relief. They're asleep, which was good for me. I silently padded out of the tiny 'camp' and saw the dog more clearly.
Mom smiled at me. Over here, she mouthed, motioning for me to follow her. So I did, and sat down in front of her.
Do you have an explanation of why you're here?
She sighed, and then nodded. Yes. I came here to say that I was sorry for letting you go. See... She sighed, staring at the fire. She whispered something silently under her breath, but then looked back at me.
See, your dad was... Well, is, a murder. He kills for fun. I tried to send him off to war, since he loved fighting. But he wouldn't go. So... What happened was this.
I was running down the streets with you as a pup, and Rue took you in, as you know. But when I returned home, something wasn't right. The place reeked with death, and smoke. I was a fool. I went in. I needed to know what happened. When I walked in, I saw my brother... Dead. His eyes weren't normal, though. They had the gleam of fire. That's when I looked behind me, and saw your father. He was holding a torch. I grabbed my brother and started to back out of my home. He was enraged, I could tell. He was furious. He wanted everyone from my family dead. All because of what I said. I grabbed my brother, and dragged him out, and then... I regret what I did. I threw him onto the hay, and it was beginning to dry up. I heard a cracking sound, and then saw a trace of fire fall onto the hay. She sighed, removing her gaze from the fire.
So, I turned around, and grabbed the torch from your dad. I put a little on him, and then ran down, leaving him screaming in pain. I ran down to my brother, and moved him, just as the fire took up the hay bale. See, when it was morning, I had the feeling that you were awake. You didn't remember anything. Alex... I had to save you. He was a murder, and...
I put my paw on her shoulder. You did the best. That's all I could really hope for.
She smiled weakly. He's still in jail, at least, I hope. I laughed softly.
So, you lived eleven years of your life alone? Because if she did... Well, I couldn't really bear it!!
No, she murmured. I lived with some friends. They had pups at the time, too, but they're a bit older than you. I can show you where they live, if you want, though.
I blinked, staring at her. Seriously?!
Mom nodded. Yeah. Come on, wake up your friends. I need to show you the place before they open. Oh, and they're a very successful record building, too.
I grinned. I'm in! I ran back to our camp, and gently shook my friends. Hey. Guys. Wake up! Suddenly, I had an idea, since none of then were. I looked around, and saw the kitchen. Smirking softly, I ran over, and grabbed a frying pan. { Yes, seriously, I grabbed a frying pan. WUT?! I LOVE SMACKING PEOPLE WITH ONE!!! Hehe... I maybe... sorta... erm... hehe.... did it to *ahem* 'the demon'? } I walked over, and leaned against it. If y'all don't wake up, I'll smack you with a frying pan. Yup. Rusty was faking to be asleep.
He jerked up, staring at me with a wild look. Oh no. No, no, no, no, NO!! I lifted it up, and he suddenly smacked Shiver and Fox awake. Fox jerked up, smacking Rusty in the nose { WAIT A MO!! THAT'S MY DEFENSE MOVE!!! }, and Shiver jumped, up.
WHA HAPPENED?!
Rusty and Fox snickered, but Rusty held his nose. I rolled my eyes. Nope, not gonna fix that.
Guys, come on, I snapped. I was losing my patience. I'm pretty sure my form flickered a bit, because Fox instantly nodded.
Yeah, guys. Come on! He eyes me, and I sighed, calming down. My eyes seemed to say what I was thinking. Cuz he nodded. Yes, you did.
I sighed, and murmured something under my breath, then started walking, and they followed me. I stopped in front of Mom, and she smiled at us.
Come on, this way, she said softly, padding out of camp. My friends stared at me in confusion.
Huh?
Well, she's gonna show us a place where we can stay! I protested.
Oh, ok.
I sighed, mumbling under my breath, and followed Mom.
And my *coughcoughstupidcoughcough* friends followed.
~ { ~ } ~ { ~ } ~
We're here, Mom declared. I blinked, looking up. The. Place. Was. HUGE! Mom lead us into a smaller area, though. Gem? Stargazer? Kiria? Anyone home?
A head poked out, and then they walked out, slowly. Then, three other dogs came out.
Autumn! What are you doing here, I though you knew we were about to open up!
Sorry, Kiria. My friends need a place to stay. Can they stay with you?
Eek! This is what they look like:
, 
, 
, and 
Guys, this is Fox, Rusty, Shiver, and Alex, Mom said, pointing to each of us. You four, these are my friends, Gem, Stargazer, Kiria, and Feather.
Hi, Feather said, smiling. She waved at us, and I waved back.
Kiria nodded at us.
Yo-lo, Gem said, grinning.
Hello, Stargazer said, a little on the cold side. Alright, Autumn, they can stay. Just remember, no more.
Thank you, Stargazer, Mom said, and turned around and left us.
What's her problem?
She's - for some reason - not aloud to stay here.
I think the reason why is because she broke a rule. It doesn't matter, though. You can come and watch, we're opening now. She stepped on Stargazer's foot to keep her from complaining. I smiled.
Thanks, guys, I said, looking at them. I suddenly had a longing feeling to be with my mom, but I crushed it down.
I have the feeling this is the last time I'll actually ever write in you again. Later, world, and I hope I can see you again, Mom.
