This story is not going to be more than two chapters. I never wrote from a goat's POV before so it may be a bit off topic. But I hope the final result won't be that bad. The first chapter is how Lady got the wound, and why the goat man tied to sell her. This story is specially written for MockingStorm.

The injury.

I started to walk away from the rest of the herd. I don't know why, but I felt an urge to get away from the rest of them. I was always different from them. Not only because I was black and white, as opposed to everyone else who were either purely white or purely black. No, I was different because I was younger, and weaker. I started to walk away, and nobody seemed to notice that. Well, there was someone who had noticed that I was going away and isolating myself, but it was only after it was too late that I realized that.

I was walking casually, munching grass on my own.

Suddenly, I heard a cracking noise behind me.

Like a branch breaking.

Then I turned around and saw a creature I had never seen before.

It was brown, almost black and its eyes were black.

I did not know what that creature was, but I knew it was something that should be feared.

It was walking towards me.

I knew I had to run, but I just couldn't.

I felt weak.

All of a sudden, I saw that creature running towards me.

Instinctively, I managed to gather enough strength and I started to run.

However, I had started to run too late and there was a small distance between the creature and I, and I knew it was only a matter of minutes before it would finally catch me.

No matter how fast I tried to run, I was too weak.

Then, I felt the pain.

I felt its sharp claws over my shoulder and I started to cry in pain.

Then the bite came.

I felt its teeth breaking into my flesh, and my blood pouring out.

It was the most terrible pain I had ever experienced in my life.

The creature was killing me.

Then, I heard the voice of the human who owned me and my family.

"Damn wild dog!" he shouted.

Then, I heard a loud bang.

And the creature let go of me.

I try to get up, but my shoulder was too painful.

I just fell and stayed like that on the ground.

Days passed, and I still could not get up.

I just did lie down, on the ground.

The pain was so terrible!

Once, the owner tried to put something on my wound but it felt like my shoulder was on fire.

I tried to kick him away but I kept missing.

I could hardly eat or drink.

I just ate and drank enough to keep going.

One day, when I woke up, I was on a wooden cart. And my shoulder was hurting so much. I tried to get up again, but the pain prevented me from doing do.

I still had flash backs from the attack.

And each noise I heard made me shiver.

Every single sound I heard made me scared.

"Bring that thing to the market, maybe Rooba will buy it." I heard a female voice say.

"That poor goat's wound is getting infected, and I am not going to waste money on fixing that wound. I knew she was not going to make it anyway. She was weak since birth." My owner replied.

And I felt the cart where I was laying on starting to move.

I was being taken away.

And I lost conscious again.

"Look at that shoulder. Bet you half of the carcass will be too rotten for even sausage." was the first thing I heard that brought me out of my comatose slumber.

That was the voice of a man I had never heard before.

"Are you sure about that, my dear friend Rooba?" My owner asked.

"Yes," the man replied.

Then, I heard the voice of a girl who seemed to be in an argument with my owner.

However, I could not see any of it, since I was lying on the cart.

But after what seemed to have lasted for hours, the girl took me with her.

She came to me, holding something in her hands.

I tried to back off, but I just couldn't.

I was scared of her.

But she simply tied something around my neck, and brought me to another girl.

That girl was different from any human I had ever met.

As soon as she saw me, she was happy.

The other humans who saw me just said I was weak, and that they needed to sell me before I died.

She started to treat my wound, and after some time, I could walk again.

All the pain was gone.

And I knew it was thanks to her.

The second chapter will occur after the bombing, and how she tried to survive. In the second chapter, there will be Buttercup as supporting character. Your reviews are always greatly appreciated. J
