but I finally got down to and finished this chapter, I hope to get the next one out soon.
So new the story continues as Bolt finds out where he has been taken too and how me must escape to return home.
"Bolt's odyssey"
Wrong Place, Wrong Place
Chapter 3
"BOLT, BOOOOLLLLT" cried a voice in the dark but just as the voice grew louder Bolt opened his eyes quickly and suddenly a rush of pain came from his side and reached a paw to feel where he had been hurt and suddenly remembered that last thing that happened when he was kicked in the side and the last thing he said to Mittens was to run away for safety. "Oh Mittens" he said to himself in a low voice then as he laid there he picked up some odd smells and sounds, so he looked around. The first thing he could tell was when he was in a cage and as he surveyed his surroundings more he could see other dogs in other cages, some were barking like crazy trying in vain to escape their confines, panic was starting to set in, he didn't know where he was. Then another voice spoke up from a neighboring cage. "Don't worry friend." Bolt turned toward the voice, he could see a scruffy dog with grey fur, he seems to be older then Bolt and appeared to be a dog that's seen his fair share of trouble or caused, he couldn't tell. Bolt looked at him curiously "Who are you?" he asked the older dog acted all smug "you mean you haven't heard of me, I'm pretty famous in these parts." Bolt looked off a moment then back to the other dog, "Well I'm not around from here, though I don't know where here is either." "And you seem like your from a nice family, no dog has a coat like and is a wanderer" said the grey dog then he noticed his collar was still on him "Hmm Bolt, interesting name." Bolt just nodded.
Just then a noise was heard not far from they're cage and a tall man walked in and passed over the Bolt's cage and the older dog's cage till he apparently found what he was looking for and opened another cage on the other side of the room pulling out the dog from the cage against the dog's struggle managed to pull him out, as far as Bolt could tell, the dog was a similar breed as it was, thought seemed mixed and had black and grey fur. The strange man put the dog on the ground and attached a leash and still the dog tried to get away, but was still pulled against his will toward the door. The man appeared to be struggling some but still kept at it pulling the dog into the other room and gone from Bolt's sight. Bolt looked frightened and looked to the older dog "What is this place?" he asked with panic sneaking into his voice The older dog simply lay down before answering his question "Well the humans have rounded up a lot of us dogs and force us to fight and I've never seen any dog escape before". Bolt started to look around franticly for a means to escape despite the words of the other older dog. Noticing the fright on Bolts face the older dog spoke up, "Relax Bolt, your not doing yourself any favors by panicking and struggling, you'll just get tired." Bolt calmed down only a little and turned to the other dog. "Then what should I do, I need to get out of here and home to Mittens" he said really quickly then added "I mean to my human" the older dog tilted his head curiously "You human is named Mittens?" Bolt shook his head "No her name is Penny, Mittens is …a friend of mine"
The older dog just nodded "I see a 'friend' well if you stick with me kid, you just may get out of here, so far there has been no cage strong enough to hold me" then he tried to jump and knock the cage off where it was situated but to no avail. "Hmmm almost any cage" he said with a weak smile and Bolt just rolled his eyes, "What we need to do is make a break for it when he takes us out of these cages." The other dog chimed in "Oh yeah, that will work, let me know when you succeed in that plan" he said lightly and a hint of sarcasm as he laid down for a nap, but this didn't deter Bolt and was still determined to escape and return home. Then after a few hours passed Bolt was starting to become tired and the pain in his side was only starting to fade as the events of the day before went through his mind. He still couldn't come to terms with what happened. One moment he was enjoying life playing with his friend Mittens then being yanked so violently from his life on the farm to this prison for dogs. Then as he let out a soft sigh he noticed moon light peeking through the window and could see the moon out shining very brightly "Oh Mittens, you so far away now and I just hope that your safe and I will be with you again, I will come home" he said as the haze of sleep over tool him ahd he shut his eyes and slept while the moon light shed light over his side where his mark once was and now only a distant memory of his past when he though with every fiber of his being that Penny was in danger and he was a super dog.
It was morning when Bolt was woken by his cage being shook and he opened his eyes suddenly and quickly remembered where he was and looked out at the person who woke him and immediately noticed the bandage on the guys right arm and remembered this was the man that tried to take Mittens. He let out a snarl as the guy just gave him an evil grin "Oh aren't we the feisty one this morning" he said as he put on a arm length glove meant for handing more dangerous canines and opened the cage, Bolt tried to use this opportunity to make a break for it but was stopped mid way and held on by the man as he leashed him and another guy walked over with a muzzle, it took both men some time and effort but they managed to get the muzzle on him "Got it" said the other man. "Good, now you get one of our champion fighters, he needs some practice."
Oh no Bolt is in trouble. he's really gonna have to think of something to get out of this or his struggle to get to home will be for not.
Until next time, Jarel Kortan signing out.
