Chapter One: A Moving Day Gone Wrong

Hi Guys! I know you want more updates with my first story. I'm working on it! But in the mean time, enjoy my 2nd FanFiction. I'll be updating both of course very soon. I have a bad case of writer's block. At first it's kind of from Zoey's point of view but … it's confusing. Hope you like it!


Who knew I would end up like this? Who could guess that the fabulous Zoe Trent could end up on the streets? I don't know what happened. I don't know how it happened. I just know now that I'm alone. I was the top dog at every dog show! I was beloved by all… How did it end like this? The memory still hurts. Just how did it come to this? My life crumbled in just a few months….

Flashback

"The sun is shining! The birds are singing! What could make this day better? A song!" Zoe was about to sing until She heard her owners yelling into the phone. "Of course we have to go! We can't afford anything then the clothes on our backs!" "But we couldn't!" Zoe wondered what they were screaming about. "But we can't just bring him in could we?" Bring what in? Zoe wondered. "Well it's too late. The paper work is done and were getting him." Him? Zoe thought Ooh! They must be getting another dog! As long as he likes singing we'll get along just fine! Zoe flipped her purple and pink streaked hair and went to eat breakfast, not knowing what would happen next.

Sure enough, the next morning a crate came home with John and Clarissa but not with a dog, with a kitten! Awww the little kid's kind of cute! Zoey thought. The kitten had a white snow fluffy coat with gray outlines and shades on the ears and tail. The kitten's gold eyes surprised Zoe at first. The soft coated kitty hopped onto Zoey's tail as Zoe started giggling. "Hi! My name is Alvin! What's your name?" The Ragdoll squeaked. "I'm Zoey Trent. I live here. It's nice to meet you Alvin!" Alvin started bouncing around until he came across Zoey's purple customized pet bed. "Wow! It's so soft!" Alvin purred as he flopped onto the bed. "Want to play?" Zoey asked as she gently pushed over a pink tennis ball to the bed. "Sure!" Alvin tumbled over his own paws getting to the ball. When he did get to the ball, he pushed over to Zoe, smiling once he got it to her. John and Clarissa looked down at the odd pair laughing. "It's too bad they won't be together forever" John said with sadness in his voice. Clarissa started crying and went with John to their bedroom. "What is going on with my owners?" Zoey questioned. "I don't know" Alvin said as he tried to stand on the tennis ball "But can we keep playing?" Alvin fell over the tennis ball and fell on his face just as Zoey giggled and said "Okay okay let's play".

For a whole week, Zoey's owners had been acting depressed. She had seen them growling when they came across a paper in the mail with a stamp portraying an eagle. But most disturbing, she had seen them packing her things. She figured out they were moving when she saw a picture of a house in the country on the laptop with a large sign over it saying "SOLD" in big red letters. Over the next couple of weeks, the family packed till the house was empty and the cars were full. "I'll take Zoe. You take Alvin. See you there Clarissa." John gave his wife a peck on the cheek as she grabbed Alvin's baby blur pet carrier. "SEE YOU AT THE NEW HOUSE ZOEY TRENT!" Alvin yelled just before he was placed in the front seat of navy blue SUV. Zoey smiled at Alvin. She wondered how the pets were doing since she had not been to the day camp since the news of her moving had spread. Zoey was excited to go in the family's newest car which was a white car that her owners called a dodge dart. A new adventure's about to begin! Zoey thought. She didn't have a clue.

Zoey waited excited to get to the new house. At one point she started spinning. But she didn't know what was coming since she couldn't see the front windshield. I'm sorry Zoey. It has to be this way John thought as he drove. John's mind floated to the memory of when Zoey and Alvin first met. They could have been best friends. But that couldn't happen. John stopped the car in front of a dark alley full of garbage cans from start to finish. "Ooh! Are we here John? I want to see the new house!" Zoey started as she felt her carrier being lifted. Zoey knew all her owner heard was Woof, Arf, Yap, and other occasional dog noises. John looked at Zoey's carrier and sighed. He was going to miss Zoey.

Zoey smelled the gruesome environment and shirked her face. "Good thing were not living here!" Zoey said laughing. Zoey was all of a sudden lifted out of her carrier and put in the car. Zoey was puzzled by this. She saw her owner John putting a water-proof cover on her carrier and bolting her carrier to the ground. "John I want to get out of here!" Zoey yelped. John put a bed and several blankets and toys in the now bolted down carrier. Fear toke over Zoey as John put a chain loop through a metal pole next the unmovable carrier. Zoey started to calm down as John approached Zoe opening the car door. "Good. Get us out of here! I could have used a new carrier anyway!" Zoey stated. Zoey was puzzled when her owner took off her beret and her collar as he replaced it with a thick chain. The chain on the pole looked about 15 or 30 feet long to Zoe. She wondered why she was so scared. John picked her up and placed her on the concrete as he connected her with the chain with one click. Zoey's fear was becoming real.

Don't worry Zoey. John's going to unhook you any moment Zoe thought. But John didn't. "Bye Zoey. Alvin's going to miss you girl." John stated almost robustly. John gave Zoey one last pat before he climbed into the car and started driving away. Zoey couldn't take it anymore. She started running towards the car as fast as she had ever ran ignoring the chain dragging behind her. Reality hit Zoey as she was jerked back by a sharp pain in her neck. Tears formed in Zoey's eyes. "COME BACK! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! JOHN! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! PLEASE COME BACK!" Zoey shouted throughout the night as the metal chain eventually was getting to her skin badly. Zoey walked over to her now bolted carrier as the rain started drizzling heavily. Luckily, John was smart enough to put a rubber cover on the pole so lighting wouldn't kill her. Zoey wished John hadn't. At that moment she wanted to die. All throughout the night, even in her sleep, Zoey muttered "Why why" as if she would get an answer. She recalled the moment when she first came home to John and Clarissa when she was 8 weeks-old. It was about a year ago. She remembered John saying "We'll never abandon you! We love you!". Now Zoey believed that everything John and Clarissa ever told her, was just a lie. Her whole life was a lie.

End of Flashback

How did it come to this John? I will forever hate you after what you did to me. Your ribbon winning princess is gone. My first day as a homeless dog. It hurts to be abandoned. I just hope that Alvin will see the truth.


Wow. I can be dark.
