I hope you enjoy the story. It's going to have, I hope, multiple, long chapters. I don't know how soon updates will be. Again, the suggested age is 16+.
Jade walked into Penny's bedroom. Bolt and Mittens were still asleep. It had been six months since they had been rescued. Jade enjoyed life in the country. It was getting back to normal for Bolt and Mittens, but for her, it was something entirely new. Jade had lived in the city for her whole life. She hated it. She hated the crowded streets, the people, everything. She was happy to have that behind her. Now she could enjoy her life like a dog should. Jade saw Bolt's ear twitch and he stretched. "Morning Bolt." She said quietly. Bolt opened his eyes. "Good morning Jade. Did you sleep well?" He whispered. Jade nodded. "Yes. Very. I love it out here in the country." She replied. Bolt closed his eyes again and smiled. "Yeah it's pretty nice out here." He yawned. "You don't have to listen to all of those cars all night." Jade looked outside. "I think I'm going to take a walk before it get too hot." She said. Bolt nodded. "Okay, just be careful." He said sleepily. Jade smiled. She liked that Bolt cared about her.
She walked down stairs and out the doggie door. It was about seventy degrees outside, and there was a light breeze. Jade smiled. It felt good on her fur. She set off down the side of the road towards the town. She walked on the sidewalks and looked at the different houses and people that she passed. There was one house in particular that she liked most. It was a large, white, wooden house that looked very old. But it was in perfect condition. A family had just moved into it a few days ago. She wondered what they were like. She saw two children playing in the yard. The parents were on a porch swing reading. As Jade walked past, a dog appeared in an open window of the house. He was a German shepherd like she was, with a thick, black and brown coat. Jade smiled to him and kept walking. She knew the dog was still watching her. She grinned and swished her tail.
I wonder if he likes me. Jade thought to herself. He looks about my age. Maybe I'll see him later. She walked for about an hour then started heading back to her own home. This time, the dog didn't appear in the window. Jade shrugged and kept walking. A few minutes later, she saw the dog walking to her side of the street. Jade pretended not to notice him. If someone liked her, she was going to play hard to get. The dog stayed about seven feet behind her, but Jade knew he was trying to find out where she lived. Just then, a Pitbull stepped out from behind a dumpster. "Well hello there." He said. Jade kept walking. "Hello." She said. The Pitbull walked beside her. "So, you alone?" He asked. Jade stopped and faced the dog. "Listen, I'm not going to hook up with some stalker like you. Now leave me alone!" She said harshly. The dog was a bit surprised but kept following her. He put a paw on her back and forced her to sit down.
Jade sat and stared at the dog. "You know what I want bitch, and you're going to give it to me." The Pitbull said. "Now if you're a good girl, I might let you go when I'm through." Jade growled and showed her teeth. The German shepherd had stopped and hid behind the dumpster. He was watching to see what the Pitbull was trying to do. The Pitbull forced Jade to lay down. She snarled and snapped at his legs but she couldn't reach him. The dog got behind her and that was when the German shepherd figured it out. Jade cried out for help, and the shepherd was on the Pitbull in a flash. He slammed into the dog and knocked him off of Jade. He growled at the Pitbull and dove at him again. The Pitbull wasn't fast enough, and was pinned down by the German shepherd. "Why don't you leave the lady alone?" The shepherd said. Then he bit into the Pitbull's ear. The dog yelped and threw the shepherd off of him, and ran back into the ally.
The shepherd sighed in relief and looked like he was going to pass out. Jade walked over to him. "Thanks." She said. The shepherd nodded. "You're welcome. Uh, my name's Buddy." He said. "I'm Jade. I saw you following me. I'm glad you did." Buddy smiled. "To be honest, I was hoping to see where you lived." He said. Jade grinned. "I know." She said. Buddy blushed. "Well, I'll just head on back to the house." He said. Jade looked at him. "I thought you wanted to see where I lived?" She said. Buddy smiled. "You'd show me?" He asked hopefully. Jade smiled. "Sure. Follow me." Jade and Buddy walked towards her house. She smiled to herself. I wonder how Bolt's going to like him. She thought. Well, I'll find out soon. They got to the house in about ten minutes. Jade walked in and Buddy followed.
"Wow." Buddy said. "This is really nice." Jade smiled. "Have you ever heard of Bolt?" She asked. Buddy's ears shot up. "Yeah I've heard of him. He's the best actor ever!" He said. Bolt walked around the corner. "Well I'm glad to hear that." He said grinning. Buddy was speechless. He just stared at Bolt with his mouth hanging open. Bolt looked at Jade. "What's his name?" He asked. "Buddy." Jade replied. "Well it's nice to meet you too Buddy." Bolt said. "Uh… sorry. I… wow." Buddy had difficulty speaking. He looked at Jade. "He's your dad?" He asked quietly. "Oh no! No he's no my dad. I ran into his a few months ago." Jade replied. Bolt nodded. "Literally." He said. "Well Mittens is still resting. And so are the kids." Jade nodded and took Buddy into the kitchen. "They are Bolt's kids." She whispered. Flame, Becky, Macy and Socks were all asleep in a pile on the floor. Buddy glanced at Jade with a confused look on his face. "But they're cats." He whispered. Jade nodded and led Buddy into Penny's bedroom.
Buddy took one look at Mittens and immediately understood. "She is kinda cute, but I don't-" "If you tell Bolt I told you, I'll kill ya." Jade cut in. Buddy nodded and fought back a laugh. After a while, Buddy went home and Mittens came down stairs. "Good morning Bolt. Hi Jade." She said sleepily. "Are the kids still asleep?" Bolt nodded. "And Jade has met someone." He said. Jade rolled her eyes. "His name is Buddy and he saved me from some pervert while I was taking a walk." She said.
Bolt suddenly looked concerned. "What did this pervert try to do to you?" He asked, not thinking about the sleeping kittens. "Uh… nothing." Jade said. She realized she had said too much. "Jade. What did he try to do to you?" Bolt asked again. Jade sighed. "He tried to mate with me but Buddy ran him off." She said. Bolt sighed. "Then I owe Buddy a thank you. Next time you go for a walk, make sure he or I is with you. Got it?" He said. Jade nodded. "I've got it." She said. He's finally treating me like his daughter. Jade thought to herself. Jade went out to sit on the deck and Bolt took Mittens into the den. "I like Buddy." He said. "I want to meet him." Mittens said. "I think you'll like him alright." Bolt said. "He couldn't believe he was actually looking at me." Mittens smiled. "I love you. Always ever so modest." Mittens half joked. Bolt grinned and licked her cheek. "I love you too Mittens."
