Chapter 2: Accidents
The sun was already shining when I woke up to a gurgling stomach. Time for breakfast, I thought as I began my walk around town. When reaching the middle of the town, I managed to steal a few pieces of toast from unsuspecting passer-bys. Once I had my fill, I continued my journey to explore to the city.
Walking alongside the road, I glanced at the many families walking past me, with children bouncing beside them, as if filled with so much energy and excitement that they were gonna blow at any minute. Smiling at the sight, I wondered if I were like that when I was with my family. If I had a family… Saddened at the thought, I continued my lonely walk.
"Hey guys, come on!" My ears perked up when I heard that optimistic voice. Looking up, I saw a group of young kids walking with a few other animals. Smiling, I realized that the optimistic voice from before was from that red-haired kid with a head that looked like a triangle. "Wait up, Phineas."The girl in the group chased up to him, a small, pink dog at her heel. A green-haired kid just walked calmly towards them, holding something that suspiciously looked like a teal beaver with a duckbill. "Come on, Phineas. The park is not going to go away." I turned towards the sound of that familiar voice. Django soon caught up with the strange group.
Smiling at the group, I decided to walk away lest they found me. Before I even walked ten steps, screams were heard from a distance. Looking up, a cargo truck was speeding in my direction! Turning around, the group was still walking away, oblivious of the incoming danger. I knew I could easily avoid the truck, but... if I don't warn them, they might get knocked down!
The red-haired kid, I think the girl called him Phineas, was crossing the road when the truck driver spotted him and pressed the horn. I was just about to run to him and push him away when something weird happened...
I saw a familiar-looking kid with a dog crossing a road when a cargo truck was speeding towards him, honking. Suddenly, like as if life flash-forwarded, I was running towards the boy, shouting "Kid, look out!" and pushed him away. Again, the scene changed to when the truck fell over and the rear part, the cargo, was sliding towards me. Then the scene changed to black as I heard a bang...
Coming back to reality, I was shocked at what had happened a few seconds ago. However the truck's horn snapped me from my thoughts. Phineas stood on the road, unable to move due to shock. Temporary forgetting the jogged memories, I rushed towards the boy. "Kid, look out!" I cried out before I pushed him away. Just in time! The truck sped past us as if nothing had happened. "Hey you, come back here! You could have killed that kid just now. Come back here at once!" I kept on barking, not noticing my shivering from the burst of adrenaline earlier. "Phineas, are you all right?" The girl asked, the green-haired kid's face had worry written all over his face. "Yeah, I'm fine Isabella." The boy now known as Phineas replied.
Then, a new voice said "Rover, is that you?"Turning around, I realized it was the duckbill-face beaver. Annoyed, I replied "What are you talking about? My name's Nicolas, not Rover. And who are you anyway?" Then, Django looked up and was shocked to see me. "Rover..." Hearing his voice, I shrunk back a little, growling at Django. "Rover, can't you remember? It's us, he's Perry, I'm Pinky and the boy's your owner, Django." The pink dog stated. "No!" I shouted."He's not my owner!" I retreated a little. "Get away from me!" Then, I immediately turned and ran away. "Rover, wait!" Perry called.
But I didn't stop running. I may not remember much of my past, but I know one thing...
The boy who was about to be hit by the cargo truck, the one in that flashback, was Django...
Finally, Chapter 2 is done.
shadowayn: Thanks for reviewing my story. The bully dog was just a stray dog, so were his subordinates. Just some minor characters.
I hope to finish Chap 3 soon. Thanks, readers, for reading my story.
