Never Goodbye
It feels like just yesterday, mother was caught in the trap, forcing me to run away.As I look back now, I realize how truely sorry I feel for not trying to help her.She had been through alot, and now was dead, because of me.My name? It's Bluelight.I was born in the artic part of Alaska.I was born with two other siblings.My littermates were my brothers, Shard and Spark.They looked like mom and dad.Me?I looked like no one.They were both older than me, but they died.I was the last one left.After my brother's died, my mother became overprotective to me.She always said,"Daughter, you are the last one left.Your father and brothers are dead.You have to promise to do as I say."My mother only wanted what was best, me being alive.I always agreed.I knew it made her feel safer.When I was old enough to hunt, mother took me out and taught me.I learned quick and soon set out on my own.That's when it happened.I was stalking a white rabbit, minding my own business, when I saw something shining behind a bush.I crept up on it ever so slowly.It was a metal wire with a loop in it.Just then, I heard shots in the distance.Looking up, I saw my mother.Did she notice the trap?No, she ran right into it before I could warn her.She did her best to get free, but a bell was ringing everytime she moved.The noise of the hunters got closer."Run, Blue!Run!" called my mother over the barking of the hunters' dogs.I did just that.I didn't look back, I just ran until I was no longer close to home.Everything I knew, I left behind.Sitting down, I panted, gasping for air.I wanted to go back, knowing I was selfish.I collapsed and rested, realizing that no matter how much I wanted to, I would pass out for exhaustion.When I awoke I was starving.I decided to put eating out of my mind and hunt when I was closer to home.Mother would have called me foolish, or maybe even considerate.She'd say I was as thoughtful as always.That thought pierced my heart.I pushed that out of my mind as I set off.I padded back towards home, stopping to eat every so often.When the scenery became familiar, I started to run.The cave loomed above me.I entered."Mother!" I called.No answer.Maybe, it was all a dream.Maybe, mother was out hunting, like always.I followed her trail, only to discover it ended where I left her.I was upset and hurt.I wanted her back.The hunters' scent lingered, so I followed it.Maybe, they hadn't killed her.I broke into a run.Soon I came to a small town.Entering it, I felt out of place with my blue-white fur.I walked through it.All of a sudden, I felt a net catch me.I was lifted off my feet and carried to a truck.I was put in back.The truck drove off.I heard of this before, a dogcatcher.Mother sometimes came to town when food was scarce and went dumpster picking.We arrived at a small building.They took me to a white room and I was set on something cold and metal.I felt a pain in my leg, and all went black.When I awoke I was in a small space with blankets, little pellets, and water, there were white things with black lines on them.I realized I was in a cage.I heard how others failed to escape, and I decided to wait.Nothing changed, and finally they let me go.I ran back and curled up in my cave.I wanted it to all go away.I hunted to get the taste of the pellets out of my mouth.I bathed in the cold stream.When I looked up, I saw a figure in the distance.A fox like me.They had the same fur as I did.I was hopeful it was mother, but it wasn't.It was a male, I could tell as he got closer by his build.His scent seemed familiar, yet distant.Then I realized who he was.He was my father.I thought he was long dead, for I was almost 3 years old.I lost track of how long I was gone.I ran up to him and he touched noses with me."How do you remember me after all these years?" I asked.He smiled at me."You look like your mother," he said."I will always remember what she looked like."I looked at my back, my fur had become whiter,the blue showing alittle more.I had the sleek coat she had.Now, I couldn't meet his gaze."She's gone, and it's my fault," I said.
"You are just like her.You are honest and blame everything on yourself.However, you have a warm heart, and that's what matters," he said.Father touched his nose to my ear.Together we padded back home.
(I hope it's okay ^^)
