Chapter 3 – Salvation?
What is this sadness I feel? I haven't felt this sad since my parents died. I got up from my little grass nest and wandered around, trying to sense where the source of the sorrow was.
"I can't pinpoint it…I'm still too weak to do so!" I fell to my knees and smacked the ground with my little white fists. Again, something I couldn't do. I couldn't help my parents and now I can't even help myself! I got back up and looked around, barely able to see over the tall grass. My eyes did not deceive me; I had teleported to a nearby human place of residence. My mom had always told me to stay away from humans and that they were bad.
'Stay away from them until you're strong enough to fight them off', she would always say. My dad disagreed with her on the case but he had a trainer for several years before he claimed to have been released due to the trainer dying.
'He was like a brother to me; we traveled everywhere together until he was too old to continue. I stayed with him until his death.' I could recall the countless stories dad told me before I went to bed and I tried to play each one of them in my head before I fell asleep.
"I miss you…mom and dad." I whispered out loud. Nobody would hear me out here and I'm certain I'm far enough away from those Houndour and that they wouldn't bother me for quite some time at least. I began to walk towards the human residence; maybe one of them would take pity on me and kill me. I had no parents and this overwhelming feeling of sorrow was becoming painful. In fact, I realized that with each step I took closer towards the human residence, the sorrow increased!
"I've got to find the source of this sorrow." I don't know why I had to but something pushed me to find it. So I began to work my way around the human residences, feeling for the various intensities of the sorrow that radiated so prominently out of the area.
"I know you're around here, I can feel your emotions…" I placed a hand on the residence in front of me and felt a shock.
"Ow!" I cried out, backing away from it. This had to be it. But…how do I get in to make sure? I began to walk around the residence, looking for some way in when I ran across something. It looked like some sort of see through…thing! This could be what I was looking for! I pulled myself up onto the ledge and had a peek in. It was dark, but I could just barely make out what I was looking for. There, over in the corner, was a small girl. I could visibly see the aura radiating off of her. She was the one I felt.
"Maybe…we can help each other." I whispered. "Just maybe…" I hopped off the ledge and ran back out to the grass. Every instinct in me was slapping me for wandering into the human residence but I didn't care. I found the source of the sadness and maybe I could get it to stop tomorrow when humans were active. Just maybe.

Author's Ramble: I'm gonna start doing author rambles at the bottom of my chapters now as to clarify any details or to rant about things. Why? Because I feel like it; no other real reason besides that. Anyway, now that the little brief thing is done, what could possibly happen next? Does anyone have a clue as to what this is? It's pretty obvious actually…but the outcome of tomorrow might be surprising! Sorry for a short chapter, it was actually required in this case to be short.
Also, to Mick G, the story will relate soon enough. I've got to give some background information on what's going on.
So yeah, wait till the next update to find out exactly what happens!
