Okay, so here's a challenge fic requested by jameis. Before you start, know that there will be some trigger warnings in some chapters due to attempted rape, as well, this is a Bolt x Penny fic, so yeah, bestiality. Don't like, don't read, don't flame, don't judge. We're all messed up in the head anyway. Welp, here goes nothing.
Shouting can be heard behind the door, even through the heavy wood. Penny sits with Bolt outside the Lawyer's office, listening to her mother argue with their former manager. Something to do with royalties and involving a lot of money. She sighs, this being the fourth day in a row this has gone on. "Can't wait to get out of here..." she says, petting the dog on her lap.
"(Yeah, then it can just be us again,)" Bolt barks, wagging his tail, causing Penny to smile and hug him.
"Thanks, Bolt." At this time, her mother storms out, furious. "How'd it go?"
"That slimy manager isn't budging. He's hoping I'll just give up and leave him with all of the money, but he has nothing to base it on. YOU were the actor, so by all rights those royalties belong to YOU. And Bolt, of course," she adds, scratching the furry companion's head. "Tomorrow, though, this is going to end, we are going to get what is owed, and then we are getting out of here."
The family walks out of the law firm, hopping into the car outside. Penny sits in the middle in the back, Bolt buckled in right beside her. "So," Penny starts, scratching Bolt's chin absently. "Once we get settled, am I going back to school?"
Her mom is quiet a moment before nodding. "Yes, I think it's time you focused on your education again."
Penny nods, still petting Bolt, who falls over and lays his head in her lap. "(This is the best... I love you, Penny,)" he barks out, wagging his tail.
She laughs, hugging him. "Love you, too, Bolt. We got a whole new adventure ahead of us."
Back at the farmhouse, Penny and Bolt run into the house at breakneck speed, her mom laughing at their excitement. Mittens wakes up from where she was napping on the window sill to watch them run by. Rhino shouts angrily but without malice as they run in front of his seat on the couch, where he's been planted most of the day watching old Bolt reruns. Up in her room, Penny picks up the squeaky carrot toy off of her bed, tossing it to Bolt, who leaps up and catches it out off the air.
"Good boy, Bolt." He jumps up on her bed and barks, dropping the toy and wagging his tail. She throws it a few times, Bolt catching it in increasingly impressive ways and bringing it back. She stops when he backflips into the closet door, knocking something down by the sounds of it. "Whoops." Getting up, she pets Bolt a minute, checking that he's okay, before looking in the closet. Turns out the impact had knocked loose a board in the back of the closet, revealing a hidden compartment. "Whoa, wonder what's in here?"
Inside, she finds an odd box of a dull gray steel, an odd symbol on the top that resembles an eye with an "X" over it. There's a simple dial padlock keeping it closed. Turning it around, she happens to notice something else was stored in the compartment: A letter. Pulling it out, she looks at it, seeing only her own name emblazoned on the back.
Before she can open it, her mother shouts from downstairs that it's time for supper. Replacing the box, letter, and bored, she signals for Bolt to stay quiet. He barks in assent, looking serious for a moment until Penny laughs and they head downstairs. They leave her room, but inside the wall, a small red light blinks, matching one miles away and deep underground.
Okay then, sound interesting so far? This is mostly something of a test chapter, see how it feels to write and to see if I can get any interest in it. Please review, tell me how I can improve. Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
