R.I.P DOGMEAT 2273 - 2277

Chapter 1

Dogmeat was the best dog you could find in the wastes. I remember it well, a few weeks ago i was searching around a PowerStation when i found the body of a wastelander that had been mauled by some vicious dogs. I was searching his body for ammo, food, chems etc when i found a note, it read:

Billy,

I'm sorry i stole it. You deserve to have it back. Remember the old scrap yard north of the Bethesda ruins? Look in the burned out buss in the Northwest corner, near an old red box car.

Tell Loreen i still love her, and I'm sorry for everything. I hope somebody finds this before the buzzards tear it to pieces.

Your loving brother

John.

So i took the note and decided to find this scrap yard and give his brother the note. It was late so i wandered into the building and spent the night there, i would get going in the morning.

Chapter 2

It was morning, i couldn't say what time but the sun was out and thank god it wasn't raining, i had a long walk and rain was the last thing i needed. Nothing really happened i ran into a few boatflys, mole rats, vicious dogs etc, i decided to stop off at Megaton to get directions to the Bethesda ruins. Thankfully the vault dweller was there, he's been everywhere, he told me exactly where to go, so i filled up my water bottles in "The water of Atom" i got 5 stimpacks off Moira Brown and Leo at the brass lantern gave me a good deal for some iguanas on a stick and some pork 'n' beans. I left Megaton and headed off to the Bethesda ruins, unfortunately for me the vault dweller told me that its full off raiders, i sett off (Again) and the same old really, a boatfly got me right in a weak spot in my leg and i had to use a stimpacks, i ate 2 of my iguanas on a stick and 1 of my pork 'n' beans before i was close, i knew i was close because i could see the smoke form a fire, and the foul stench of rotting flesh was burning my nostrils, and if that didn't seal it the building had Bethesda written in big letters. It was dark so i decided to sleep and go in the morning, hopefully i could bypass the ruins without being seen.

Chapter 3

I was woken roughly, It was still dark , a raider had a combat shout bun in my face and was shouting something, i couldn't tell what it was, then something i could understand "GET UP! NOW". I slowly stood up with my arms in the air, "WALK!" he shouted gun at my back, so i marched towards the Bethesda ruins hoping i want going to end up like the guy chained to the wall with no head.

Once we got there he hit me over the head with his shotgun and knocked me unconscious. I woke up about an hour later in a dark room with about 5 other people, they weren't raiders they were slaves and the raiders had taken my rucksack, luckily though i still had the letter in my pocket, they were not getting that treasure or whatever it is. After my eyes had adjusted to the dark i could see the people clearly, one of them had a pipboy and was checking the conditions of his limbs, witch was pretty bad, there was an old man there he looked starved he had lost both legs (It was obviously done by a ripper in poor condition) he was covered in blood, i fumbled around in my pocket and i had 1 stick pack, 3 10mm bullets and in the other pocket i had 1 rad-x and a dart and some sand. My legs hurt pretty bad but not as much as my head, i limped over to the old man with missing legs, they were bleeding pretty bad, i gave him the stick pack and the bleeding had stopped and i could see it scabbing over i ripped some of my shirt off and wrapped it around some of the wounds on his arms. He thanked me and went to sleep, as did i.

Chapter 4

There was light coming through a hole in the wall. Then the door burst open and a raider girl came in. "YOU!" she pointed at me "COME WITH ME!" i stood up and limped out the door she shut and locked it, i noticed she was carrying a 10MM. I didn't see any other raiders, i dug into my pocket and pulled out my dart, i threw it at her eye and she fell over, i took the gun and put a shot in her face, i hoped it wouldn't attract any attention, i searched her pockets, she had 4 bobby pins, 2 10mm clips, 21 bottle caps and a key with slave room written on it (Misspelled) i put the key in the door and hurried the slaves out and asked them to sit on the floor. I went through another door it had 4 hunting rifles 2 10MM guns, 3 stimpacks 22rad-x , 3 radaway and a key to undo the slave necklaces i took and hunting rifle for my self and i gave the slaves the other guns, Unlocked there necklaces spread out the rad-x and gave the man without any legs the stimpacks and a 10mm, i carried him into a room with a mattress after killing the 3 raiders in there, i gave him some of the food so he could be comfortable and safe till i came back later. 2 found 2 of the slaves dead so i took the ammo I searched around till' i found my rucksack. Then i ran off north to the scrap yard.

Chapter 5

I arrived at the scrap yard 7 hours later. I wandered over till i found a destroyed buss, there was growling and a bunch of raiders shooting at something, i shot one of them and the other 3 ran away, i looked inside and there was a dog with a tag reading Doggmeat, i unchained him and he licked me "Wow" i said "Your the first dog who hasn't fried to kill me, i bet your master has taken good care of you until now, would you like to come with me?" he licked me again and it barked softly. There was a note tied to his collar it read:

Dear Billy

I'm sorry i stole this, when you find Doggmeat tell Loreen i still love her.

Please forgive me

Billy.

I'm guessing this what he stole. Doggmeat was badly injured, he had 3 broken legs, 2 bullet wounds and missing ear, i used a stimpacks on each leg and then tied him to my rucksack with some surgical tubing i found, then i fed him one of my iguanas and wandered off to megaton. It took me about a week to reach there, we weren't really bothered by any animals, we ran out of food for the last 3 days and water the last 2. I Hurried to Springvale where i luckily found some radiated scraps of food and 3 grognack the barbarian comics. I stayed in a house in Springvale that night. The next day Dogmeat was walking quite well then, he fell over a few times, we made it to megaton. I rented a room in that pig moriartys saloon, i got some water for Doggmeat and some Nuka cola for me. In the morning i filled up all my water from the lord of atom. I bought a few pieces of food from the brass lantern, i bought 10 stimpacks from Moira and came back to see that Dogmeat walking well, i gave him 2 stimpacks just in case. I fed him some scraps. And let him wander round megaton keeping himself safe and recovering. I stayed down in moriartys saloon and talked with gob and listen to GNR. The next day i had to do my job, i am a great regulator.
