Chapter 2
We were when Mama said we were going outside one day. We've never been outside before. I followed Mama, Socks and Ruby where already far ahead. I tried to walk beside them but they just ran farther and farther from me. I don't know if it was on purpose or the fact I'm slower then them. Maybe both.
Mama led us to the big door that was set between our home and outside. It was always closed, but this time it was open! I felt a surge of joy flash through me. I instantly bursted into full speed. I sprinted out of the door. I felt wind blow past me, making my long black fur blow. A wore a huge smile on my face. My eyes gazed in wonder. I soon sprinted right outside the door and was instantly blinded by a bright white light.
I squinted from the flash. When I regained focus, my heart skipped a beat. I could see it, we where outside. My eyes grew larger. I saw a blue sky. There were tiny shades of white in the sky as well, maybe some kind of magic. I saw a wooden wall loop around the yard. It must have been the fence. Mama has told me about some of the things that were outside. She said the fence kept us separated from outside dangers. All I wanted to know was what dangers where out there.
There were some bushes right next to the fence. Past that where some tiny green plants that stuck out of the ground. If it was soft, then it must have been grass. There were so many sounds, so many scents; it was all very emotional at first.
Mama walked up to me and sat down next to me.
"Is this the yard?" I asked. Mama laughed.
"Well, right now, you're standing on the porch." She purred. I looked up at Mama in curiosity.
"The porch?" I asked. "What's that?" I heard a sigh. I turned to see Ruby's ice-cold eye's burning into mine.
"Don't you know anything Tiny?" Ruby said rolling her eyes. She walked away from me. I looked down. Socks looked at me for a moment, then came and sat down next to me.
"A porch is a wooden structure that lays in between the door and the yard. It has sitting places and stairs that lead right onto the grass of the yard." Socks explained. I looked up at my brother in wonder. I was wondering why he was telling me this. I was wondering if he was being nice to me.
I smiled at him. He just gazed in shock at me and then looked over his shoulder. After a few seconds, he ran over to catch up with Ruby. It was as if he was embarrassed for being kind to me. Why? I got up to my feet and walked down the stairs to the yard. I smiled. The grass was very soft.
I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see the nice house folk who gives us food come behind me with something in her hand. They were thick blue, green and purple stripes with tiny silver objects at the tips. She sat down and we all came up to her. She gently grabbed Socks and put the green on around his neck. I tiny silver ball dropped down and hung there right in front of his neck.
The house folk gave Ruby the blue one and the purple one to me. I don't know what it is, nether the silver thing on the front. I moved and then I heard a noise. It was a metal-to-metal noise. The tiny silver ball on the front made a little noise. I like it.
We began to look around the yard. We saw many things we haven't seen before. Plus, I realize, there is even more to see on the other side of the fence. I found a small whole at the very far end of the yard in the fence. I saw some light seeping in from under it. I leaned over and peaked out of the hole. When I gained focus I saw more grass lead right into a bunch of trees and plants. It was too dark past the trees for me to see any farther.
My heart skipped a beat. I think I knew what it was. I think it's the forest!
"Tiny!" I heard my mother say. "Come here, Tiny."
I walked away from the hole in the wall. Yet I still had the same desire to go into the forest someday, to see what was there. When I was about to walk back out through the bushes when I caught a glance of Socks and Ruby.
Socks and Ruby were jumping and batting at a fluffy object on a string that was held by one of the house folk kits. Socks and Ruby were playing a new game. I looked at them in curiosity. Why were they just batting at it? Why didn't they just grab it? I don't think they were doing it right.
It didn't matter to me. I just didn't want to miss this opportunity to play with them. Maybe they would see how strong I was. Maybe they would like me. I walked up slowly to Ruby. I was worried about her response, but it was my turn to show these guys how to play.
I took another paw step and Ruby looked harshly over her shoulder. I put a smile on my face and I looked sweetly up at my sister.
"Can I play?" I asked. Ruby looked at me for a moment.
"I guess…" She responded. I wave of relief and joy came through me. I felt so happy. I smiled and my tail twitched. Ruby looked away and began batting the toy again. I walked up and took a few bats of it. I looked up at Ruby. She wasn't giving me a harsh look.
I kept on batting at the toy and looked up again. Ruby had the same look on her face. I looked at Socks to see he was smiling. I felt pride come through me. They weren't shouting at me, shoving me away, they weren't even biting me. They just let me play with them.
Now it was time to show them just how strong I could be. I looked up at the toy. I lowered myself to the ground and sprang up in one fast motion. I soared in the air. At that moment I saw Socks' and Ruby's jaws drop. I opened my mouth and bit down on the toy. The kit let got of it in a startled cry. I landed on the ground with the toy locked tight in my jaw. I smiled and ran toward a wheel barrel. I hid under the wheel barrel with the toy in my mouth.
My black fur was completely hidden in the shadows. I looked up to see Socks and Ruby charging after me. All they could see was my blue eyes. I couldn't wait for them to get here and tell me how much of a good job I did.
"Give me that!" Socks snapped. Instantly my whole would crashed down. My eyes grew huge.
"Huh?" I whispered.
"You're no fun!" Ruby shouted. Tears came into my eyes as she said those words. "You don't play right!"
Socks ran up to me and yanked the toy out of my mouth.
"But I got it." I protested. Socks and Ruby gave me a harsh look. I realized now, they would never let me play with them ever again. They turned and ran back to the house folk kits.
I watched them go for a moment. Nothing came to my mind. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was so… confused. I collapsed to the ground crying. I put my paws in front of my face and cried on and on. I sobbed and sobbed. They didn't like me. They never will like me. No matter what I do, they treat me like dirt. I don't understand. I haven't done anything to them.
Maybe… maybe I wasn't what they wanted.
