I was lying next to a couple of warm bodies. I stayed there for a very long time, then I felt myself being lifted of the ground. I felt myself being taken away from those tiny bodies, and the big body that gave me milk. I was dropped very cafrefully to the ground, and I was left there. I sat there shivering. I could feel something solid beneath my paws, and I could hear something squaking above me. I made myself as small as I possibly could, before I heard something coming near me.
"Who are you?" They asked.
"I-I-I-I d-d-d-don't k-know." I said shakily.
"Why are you sitting so close to the edge of that cliff?" They asked. "Come over here."
"I-I-I-I c-c-c-c-can't s-see a-anything." I sobbed.
"Your a malcadh!" They yelled bitterly.
I felt the scent slowly leaving.
"P-p-p-p-please d-d-d-d-don't l-l-l-leave m-m-m-me!" I cried, slowly walking to where I had smelt the creature that was talking to me.
I started running after I felt more of the solid stuff (ground) beneath me. I could sense somethings that were in front of me, and I moved out of the way before I hit them. When the solid stuff stopped I stopped. There was swishing sounds coming from that place that had no solid stuff.
"Better not walk into that." I heard a soft voice behind me say.
I twirled around and kept looking straight ahead.
"Why are you starring at the ground?" The creature asked.
"Ground?"
"Yes. What your standing on is ground." She sounded surprised.
"Oh..." I said starting to back up.
"Don't move!" She yelled. "Are you blind?"
"Blind?" I ask taking a step forward.
"Blind is when you can't see. You looked like you were about two months old, so I was wondering why you kept walking towards the water."
"Water?" I asked, completely confused.
"Water is colorless, but some people say it's blue, or green. But you can't explain color to a blind person." She said chuckling.
"What's your name?" I ask walking slowly over to her.
"Mushoku, which also means colorless. But I'm not blind. Do you have a name?"
"No."
"Of course you wouldn't, your a malcadh."
"What's malcadh?"
"It's when something is wrong with you. You are blind, but other's have missing eyes, ears, twisting paws, missing paws."
We kept walking and she kept explaining stuff to me. She told me that the sky in the morning was also blue, and that at night it was completely dark. So everyone was blind at dark, or that's they I thought about it. She was surprised when I moved out of the way of a rock. I told her I sensed the rock there, and she told me to rely on my senses. They would help me when I was in danger. She taught me how to hunt, but since I was blind it took very long. She named me Sachiko, and when she brought me back to the McDucan clan, everyone was surprised that I had lived. They all heard of the white blind pup, but they figured that I would've died. But I didn't. The clan talked about a black wolf with one yellow eye and a blue eye. That wolf was the same as me, a malcadh. Her back legs were crippled, and when I asked Mushoku what that person was talking about she told me.
"Black is the color you see all the time, I think I have told you that before." I nodded and she continued. "Crippled means they cannot walk, and having mismatched eyes is uncommon for animals. Yellow and blue are two types of colors. That malcadh is living with the Sark of the Slough, and wolf that also has mismatched eyes. She's considered a witch, but I like her."
I thought about the wolf for a little while that night before I fell asleep that night. We kept training and Mushoku explained stuff to me. After 4 years, Sark died. The next day Mushoku died, and I was alone again. The day after Mushoku died, Kurai died. A stranger came into the territory, and someone told me she was the malcadh that had lived with Sark. That was the wolf that Mushoku had told me about. After Kurai had died, me and her easily became friends. We had to deal with her family, and her father snuck into the McDucan territory just to see his daughter that had been takin away from him.
After that day, me and Kita, spent most of our day's talking to eachother. Somehow, she managed to explain color to me. She gave me a weird tasting drink and I was able to see a few things. I never told anyone that I could barely see. Kita still explained to me how things looked and I listened to her. Almost four months after Sark, Kurai and Mushoku's death, me and her started going near these wood's. Exactly four months after they died, we decided to go to where Kita was raised. I was raised her, but I still didn't like it. So I asked her if I could go with her, and she agreed...
"Are we there yet?" Sachiko complained loudly.
"No, were not." I said for the tenth time.
"Why not?! We've been walking forever!" She yelled.
"We've only walked for about an hour you can go another. It takes at least two day's of walking without stopping. If we stop ever hour than it's going to take three times as long!"
There was some mumbling behind me.
"I'm hungry."
"Hellooooooo~" We heard a deep voice say from behind us.
I turned around and seen a tan wolf with red eyes, and a black wolf with green eyes.
Guess who the two wolves are! If you don't know then I'm not gonna spoil it! XD
Soo, I made Sachiko not all blind because Kita had a drink that helped cure about 25% of her blindness yay! It's not a lot, but at least she can still see right? I'm so weird. Also, those two wolves have appeared in Kita and Sachiko's life. *Hint hint.* I think I just told you who the wolves were. XD oh well. Next chapter should be up either later today, tommorow, or the day after that. Most likely today or tommorow. I'm so happy I made the sequel!
