Chapter 2 Life Before
As I said this chapter will be for a flashback.
Kona returned to the Lookout.
Chase and Ryder followed her and found her in her pup house.
Chase, the only one of them small enough to fit inside, slipped in and nudged Kona.
Kona whirled around, teeth bared. "I'm not going back! I'm not, and you can't make me!" She snapped.
Chase stepped back. "Relax! Just tell us why you ran off!" Chase said, and crawled back out.
Kona followed. She growled a little, then took a deep breath. "I was part of a relatively small litter. I was the only the girl, the runt and the weakest..." she began.
(Flashback begins here)
Rose laid her head down. Three puppies. She had been told it was two boys and a girl.
Her mate, Jack*, frowned at one of the puppies. It was tiny, and it was the girl. He turned away.
"What's wrong?" Rose asked.
"The girl is the weakest. I think we should only raise the boys," Jack said flatly.
"I know we both wanted boys. And to tell the truth I was eventually going to suggest that too. But after they can eat solid food," Rose answered.
"Fair enough," Jack grumbled. He left.
(2 months later)
A car engine sound grew louder and louder. A gray sedan rolled up to a spot in the middle of nowhere. A snout with a small puppy hanging by the scruff popped out of the window. The pup was dropped a little bit away from the sedan. The car left, and the little pup was left to wander.
(End of flashback)
"And you wandered till you were found..." Chase guessed, his voice trailing off.
Kona nodded and sniffed. "They named me Raindrop because of the spot pattern on my back before they tossed me," Kona stood up. "Go to Luke's concert without me, I don't want to see her again." Without waiting for a reply, Kona went back into her pup house and shut the door.
Chase and Ryder looked at each other.
"Well, now we know the story behind her running off..." Ryder said.
"Yep." Chase said simply. "Are we really going to the concert without her?" He asked.
"What else can we do? Come on, let's go," Ryder answered.
The twosome left to back to the concert.
A/N That flashback sounded more dramatic in my head. Oh well. Thanks for reading! PS. Anyone can use Jack for their own story, he's an Aussie Cattle Dog(purebred).
