Chapter One
Let it snow, let it snow. let it snow!
I yawned, and sat up. The air was cold… Wait, cold?
Oh… Yeah I remember. I thought. I wasn't in San Francisco anymore- I was in New York city!
I burst out of the top of my room. Snow! I laughed out loud, and dove off my roof into the white fluff. I hadn't seen snow like that since… Since last year when I visited my hometown in Canada!
The name's Zap Wolf Bolt. I'm half Gray Wolf, half Newfoundland dog, a roaming stray. And I'm an agent at Dog World Headquarters where we fight the spread of dangerous feline incidents across the world. In other words, we fight evil cats. It was Christmas time, and my team and I had been sent to NYC to track down a dangerous kitty- Purrface- who was out to destroy Christmas.
I dashed through the white blanket that had covered the city over night. I looked up. The looming buildings were covered in wreaths and ribbons. And there, in the middle of Rockefeller Center, was the tree.
The beautiful tree, glistening with lights of all colors. It shone, covered with glowing ornaments. And on the very tip top, was the golden star that spread its light all over.
People were gathered around, gazing at the magnificent tree. I walked up slowly, listening to the Christmas music playing loudly above the ice rink, where people were skating gracefully around.
"Doggy!" I turned my head to see a small little girl running towards me.
"Camile! No!" Her parents yelled, chasing after her.
The little girl stopped in front of me, and reached out her hand to pet me. She placed her hand on the top of my head. He parents flinched, expecting for the worst, but I just leaned into her hand. Even I, the most wild dog in the city, could get along with humans for the Christmas season.
After the little girl left, I walked closer to the tree. It was even better looking from this angle! I stared up at the sparkling star, when I heard someone calling my name.
"Zap!" It was Patches. He used to be my trainee, and this was his first Christmas as a full-fledged agent.
"Hey kid." I nodded, smiling as he sat down next to me.
"This is awesome!" He exclaimed, looking all around. "Epic!"
"I know right? I haven't seen the Rockefeller tree in ages, and this is only your first time!" I said, my ears perking up to the listen to the music. Silver Bells was playing.
I looked around. City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Ah, yep that was New York City for ya. Busy sidewalks, especially at Christmas time.
I sat with Patches by the tree for a while. Purrface or no Purrface, this was going to be a great Christmas.
