(Apollo POV)

Riley padded around the small, dusty clearing, waiting for Navy to return. She sat down, her tail curled around her thin, bony paws. "NAVYY!" She called out, but no reply except for her echo. CRACK! Paddy whipped her head around, but nothing was there except for the dark oak trees. Navy suddenly jumped out at Riley, and then they started play fighting.

"Navy!" Teddy cried, tears filling her eyes.

"Riley!" Navy cried, nuzzling into her.

A loud cough came from the background. Riley looked over her shoulder. I looked back at her. Navy stared at me. "What is it?" She snapped. "Nothing..." I whispered, turning away from them. I got up and started walking back home. "Eh, you're finally leaving?" Navy enquired, a harsh tone in her voice. "Yeah...I; I need to do something.." I lied. I didn't have anything to do, I just wanted to get away from them. I ran off as fast as I could, my tiny legs not letting me run the fast. I finally arrived at home, a big, 3 story country house. I had to share it with my younger siblings, and my older sister, and Dreamlee. I padded in, hearing the sound of Ash and Korie screaming while play-fighting. I ignored it and run upstairs. Slowly, I crawled into my messy room. I curled up in my bed, hiding my pain under the pillow. "APOLLO! Get down here right now!" I heard Tony shout.
