The view right to the sky, lying in the grass, remembering and forgetting. It forgets as he remember. He forgets to remember, to find something that it was already forgotten, and vice versa. And then he found it, and started to forget, and while he forgets, he saw.
In the rocky crags of the mountains the snow fell down slowly in the pine and glass making of the forest a unique image, and there, near to the frozen river, a family of wolves where trying to find food and shelter. The father, a big wolf painted with a cold grey and a deep black smelled the floor under his paws. The wolves walked several hours without found nothing useful, no meat, no water, and the cub started to fell hungry.
-Dad, have you find something? - asked the little wolf
-No, but don't worry sweet heart, I'm sure than something is near. I can smell it. - replied the father
The father still smelled the floor when for surprise he stopped.
-Wait, I think we are close. – Said the father
He looked around and saw a stopped train. It was beautiful. It has a lot of draws and shining colors in each section, and the snow in the top gave him the impression to be a safe place. They get close to it and tried to enter pulling some of the doors.
-The human's don´t stop in the middle of a journey for nothing. It could be hunters, psychopath's or something worst.-
-Or maybe they just wanted to rest. - Said the mother
-Yes, but that's less common. – Replied the father
The mother was taking a deep breath for the paranoia of his mate when she heard something. It was a voice, a female voice that comes from the jail at the end of the train. The family went there (not without difficult because the father wanted to stay where they are and grabbed to the floor with his claws) and saw a sad scene: a young lioness with black spots and blood in his fur and so emaciated that it could be a skull.
-Run, run or he will eat you.- Said the lioness, with fear in her eyes.
-Who is that? Who will eat us?- Asked the mother
-Just run… run… run…- Replied the lioness getting deeper in the jail.
-See, I told you that they're psychopath's- Said the father
Just when they were living, a loud and savage roar comes from the other side of the train. It was so loud that couple of birds started to run away. Suddenly, a figure appears on the top of the train. It was a big lion, with a wild look in his eyes, madly eyes, but the scariest detail was the blood on his claws, red and thick, so abundant that give the impression of a serial killer. The lion roar once more before to jump over the father.
-Take our son with you, I'll try to stop…- Said the father before the lion cut his throat.
While the lion eviscerate the father, the mother run away with the cub in the forest, despaired and with tears in their eyes, but not so far because soon the lion appeared in front of them. Before the lion attached the mother, she throws the cub away so he could escape. But he didn't. Actually he couldn't, no one of his muscles could move because of the impact of the scene: the lion opened the mother's chest and started to eat the organs of the wolf. First, the lung, then the stomach and for last the heart. The mouth of the lion was red, dark red, so red that it seem to cover all his body. He didn't know why, but in that moment, the cub lost all his memories and the only thing that he could think was the lion eating his mother, the blood and the dead, an those thinking's were implanted very deep in his brain, in his conscience. When the beast finished eating the rest of the body, it's started to chase the cub. This one recovered the conscience and started to run away the fastest he could, but he knew it wouldn't be enough, so he turn back to wait the claws when a weird thing happened. The lion was in the floor, with the look lost and the tongue out.
-What the heck?.- Think the little wolf
Soon, a lights comes out and the cub escape. He run's several hours until get tired. Fortunately he found a lake near so he could refresh (and drink). Approaches to the lake and the desperation came to him. He saw his reflect on the surface of the water: a small wolf with tiny claws, dirty and so thin than he thinks that the black lines of his chest were bigger. The soft fur was now rough and all black, knowing that his mouth, chest, belly and legs where white. He move away and lay down in the white glass, shocking and scared. And here he was, looking the stars and forgetting, everything. Something has changed on his little brain, something bad. Hungry, much hungry, too much, and cold, not physical cold, it was psychological cold, no feelings, no emotions, no nothing. But then the peace came, and he started to live again, and suffer. He stayed there a long time before lost his conscience, and in that while, he heard steps coming closer, and were there close enough he couldn't recognize nothing except a wolf like his father but with other colors, looking him with worried eyes.
Once he woke up, he found a boll with water and other with a little bit of meat. He didn't know how long was sleeping, but he thought that it has been a long time because was hunger than usual.
After eat the food, he started to look the place. It was something like a garage without car. There was a door with a hole on it. Tools on the wall, tables with some machines, many shelves with weird objects on it. But it was weird by other reason: it was tempered, no cold or hot, just tempered.
Suddenly, a weird… thing appeared from the hole. He came closer to the wolf and say:
-Ven, el jefe te está esperando.-
-What?- Said the little wolf
But then the… thing started to push him to the hole. The wolf tried to get back but the… animal pick him up and throw it to the door.
-¡Sal de una vez!- Said the… thing before throw the wolf out.
After getting up, a wolf (the same wolf that he saw before lost the conscience) pick his paw and lead him to a slope.
-Debes estar contento chico, es un gran día para ti- Said the Wolf
In the slope, the little wolf saw a herd of many animals. Once was bigger, other smaller, other with longer tail, other shorter, but it seem that all of them were from the same species. All of them were in a fenced zone, with glass and flowers and some houses. Besides of them were also birds and rats. After the "jefe" cuff intentionally all of them turn to him. The "jefe" cuff again and said:
-Desde hace mucho tiempo, esta familia ha mantenido su honor, no dejándose llevar por ningún vicio ni discriminación. Cuidamos a los nuestros como si fuésemos nosotros mismos. Sacrificamos nuestro sudor y sangre por las personas de quienes amamos y conocemos. Esto, este respeto a nuestra familia, ha hecho que perduremos como leyendas entre las otras. Somos uno solo, en forma de decenas. Somos, a vista de otros, la comunidad perfecta. Pero, durante mis cavilaciones, me he dado cuenta de un gran error. Amamos a los nuestros pero desconfiamos a los que desconocemos, al punto de odiarlos, torturarlos y masacrarlos… o de hacerles cosquillas hasta que orinen, pero el punto es, que ya no podemos seguir así. Algún día, nuestro dueño buscará otros animales para ayudarlo, por lo que debemos acomodarlos a nosotros aunque nos duela (a ellos también, por supuesto). Es por esto que desde el día de hoy, a cualquier animal que presente cierto interés por nosotros, no lo dañaremos, sino que lo amaremos como a uno más. Hoy, un nuevo miembro se une a la familia. Es de lejos, y tendrá sus costumbres, pero lo tendremos que amar. Ven chico,- Said de wolf pulling the cub in the slope- diles a todos tu nombre.
-What?- Said the little wolf, scared
-Vamos, chico, diles tu nombre.- Insist the wolf, with a big smile
-What are you saying? I… I… I didn't do nothing wrong.- Replied the cub, even more scared.
-¿Qué?- Said the "Jefe", confused.
-Ja, te dije que aprender hablar en inglés sería una buena idea, pa- Said a voice, somewhere in the public.
Suddenly, a little wolf with black and brown, like the "Jefe" appeared in the middle of the yard and started to run absurdly fast to the slope, kicking the animal's head. Once he reaches them he said:
-What's your name?- Directing to the new one.
-Rain. - Said the cub, a little bit shy
-Rain? - Asked the little wolf, surprised.- Like the water that fell from the cloud's
-Y… Y… Yes. - Answered the cub
-Dice que su nombre es Rain. –Said the Little Wolf to the big one.
-¿Rain? Bueno como sea.- Turning to the public.- Denles todos un caluroso aplauso a nuestro nuevo miembro en nuestro clan perruno, el joven Rain.
-"Perruno"?.- Asked a confused Rain.
-It means dog, all of us are dogs- Replied the little wolf… I mean dog, to an embarrassed Rain.
All of the animals started to applaud with energy, some of them with screams and other things.
-Es increíblemente adorableeeee.- Said a female voice not so far. It comes from an animal with white and abundant fur, small and with a ribbon in his head.
-Lo que me recuerda, -Said the "jefe" directing to his son.- Jack, ¿por qué no les presentas a los altos cargos?
-No será ningún problema.- Replied Jack.- Come with me.- Said, directing to Rain.
He lead him to the yard, where most of the animal get back, except for fourth of them (one of them was the one who said "Es adorable"). All of them look old and tired, expect the last one (the white one) who it was a little bit younger and with a curious shine in her eyes, like if she was planning something evil.
Jack put Rain in front of them and starting to present them.
-He is the "Cazador maestro".- Said Jack, pointing to a big dog with funny and angry face, with brown fur.- He commands the hunting.
-Me llamo Zeth, un gusto en conocerte.- Said the dog, making a reverence.
-She is the "Afiladora de garras":- Said, pointing to a big, muscular dog with black and brown fur, making impossible to believe that it was "she".- She trains the dogs, preparing them to hunt.
-Me llamo Imelda, estoy segura de que nos llevaremos bien.- Said, giving to Rain a kiss on the head, leaving him dizzy.
-He is the "Experto medico". - Said Jack pointing to a really small and long dog, with brown, black and white on his fur's color. It looks funny.- He will heal your wounds.
-Soy Carlo, un placer.- Said the funny dog stretching Rain's paw.
-And she is the "Administradora alimenticia".- pointing to the white dog, still with his shiny eyes and now with a creepy smile.- She decides how much do you have to eat.
-Soy Betsy y es míooooooo.- Said, picking up Rain above of his head and running to a house extremely fast.
-Tía Betsy, no…- Said Jack
-No me interesa, él es mío, solo…-Said Betsy, before get hit by Zeth on the face and stomped on the floor.
-Cálmate mujer.- Said Zeth, helping to standing up Rain.
-¿De dónde saliste?- Said Betsy with cut voice.
Carlo gets close with Jack and started to check Betsy.
-Le golpeaste muy fuerte.- Declared the doctor
-Bueno, en realidad siempre quise hacerlo.- Replied the dog.
-Vamos, ayúdame a llevarla.-
The two of them pick Betsy and take her away. Rain and Jack waited until they couldn't see the three dogs.
-Sorry for that, she is a little crazy… moderated crazy… Ok, very crazy- Said Jack.
-Don't worry.- Replied Rain.
Jack waited a second and then he extended his hand.
-My name is Jack.- Declared the dog.
Rain didn't know why, but he felt happiness, maybe because a door better than the others has just opened for him. He looks the paw and stretches him with all his strength.
-I'm sure that we will be good friends.- Said Jack, smiling.
