Chasing Chase
"Chase, dinner!"
Ugh, five more minutes…
"Chase, come get dinner!" My ears perked up at the word 'dinner'. I yawned as I slowly opened my eyes and picked my head up. I sniffed and my tongue instinctively fell out of my mouth. Mmm, bacon. I got up and stretched my hind legs, and made my way downstairs, barking happily. When I got to the kitchen, I was greeted by my owner, and best friend. "Here you go, Chase. I made you your favorite." The second he set my bowl down, I went at it. Ryder is the best person in the world, I thought to myself. "Eat up."
After dinner, I followed Ryder to the garage where he worked on his projects. They didn't always work, but it was still really interesting. Plus, I loved seeing the smile on Ryders face whenever he made a new invention. He let me help whenever I could.
"Can you get me the wrench, Chase?" I walked over to the tool box and got the wrench. "Thanks, bud." I have no idea what he was working on, but he said it could change the world forever. "Just have to tighten this one last bolt… Yes! Its done! Lets test it out. Chase, lights!" I barked twice which turned the lights off. Ryder turned on the machine, and it gave off a blue glow.
I'll admit, I was a bit scared, and even whimpered a little, but I had to show bravery, since I was a German shepherd. Suddenly, the machine made a really loud sound, almost like thunder. I yelped and hid behind Ryder. "Its alright, Chase. I'm here." I smelled something strange, almost like a burning plastic smell and I started barking to tell Ryder, but he couldn't hear me over the machine. I kept barking and tried to pull Ryder away from the machine, but he wouldn't move. The machine started making a high pitch sound that made Ryder and I cringe. He ran over to the machine and tried to turn it off. Sensing danger, I tackled Ryder and pushed him away just as the machine exploded. I was thrown back, and all I could see were flames around me. I hit something, a wall or the floor, hard.
"Chase, no!" And that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
