Chapter 2: Dogs... i hate dogs.
I awake on a flat rock jutting out of a steep incline, the sun is peeking through the tree canopy above me. I bring my hand to my to my forehead to rub it as I start to feel the head ache, but it is sticky a bit. I look at it to see it is red wich brings back memories of what happened last night, I gaze at my sweater to see it is still moist with blood on the sleaves. When I get to my feet I walk up the slope I have found myself on and I notice this is the same route I take up mount Ebot. If i remember a little farther up there is a small water pool that is from Glacier run off, I could wash up in there and hope that the blood hasn't stained my sweater. I start to hike up my usual route but I stop in my tracks when I hear rushing water. I glance to my left to see the pool I remembered with a small water fall that is dribbling in to the pool. I take off my shoes then slip my sweater over my head so I can submerge myself in the cool water.
The water makes me shiver as I slowly wade in to it but once i am in the center I sit on the stony bottom. I swoosh my sweater to and fro but only a small amout of inprovement is made to the bloody sleaves. I need to find something to beat the clothing with so i reach for a stone from the bottom of the pool. Most stones are stuck in the ground but a decent sized one pulls out with a bit of wiggling, I smack the sleaves wile the sweater is submerged and it dose a bit better but the blood is still noticable. I crawl out of the pool then wring out the sleaves which brings a smile to my face because the blood is dripped out with the water. I look at the sweater which is still quite damp but there is only a slight discoloration where the blood once was. I slip the sweter back on but as I do I hear a dog barking not that far from where I am now, I only have one place to go now.
"Dogs... I hate dogs." I put my shoes back on then start climbing as fast as I can up mu usual route to the cave. More barks, the more i clime the more I hear them and the closer they get. I feel my feel give out from under me making me fall to the dirt but as I weaze something grabs my ankle. There are growls which tell me it is a fucking dog that got me so I bring up my free foot then aim it at the dogs face. With all the force I have I hot the dog in the face making it yip in pain and I can get back to my feet with new found adrenaline. I seen the dog had a police K-9 unit vest on so the ploice must know i killed the Orphanage owner and they must know I used her soul as a tool to make me stronger... I couldn't just let her soul go to a complete waste when i could put it to use. I pull myself up to the platou that leads to the cave were I met Asriel but I can't stop now. The only place the police will not follow me is in to the cave and down the hole, I just hope i survive the drop down. I run in to the cave and watch for the hole and once it is in front of me I close my eyes then step forward. My heart jumps from the sudden fallen feeling but as I fall I feel myself smiling, my new life begins now. Then everything goes to black.
Foot note: You are filled with Determination.
