Chapter 3: The Blood Stains, Part 1

My vision became blurry and the smell of iron flowed in the air. I slowed down and let Puppy get in front of me. Puppy manage to slip out the word "Blood" as he past me. I came to a complete then took off my goggles. I finally took off my goggles and closed my eyes. I rubbed them gently. Opened them back up and looked around. There was blood every where. I questioned Puppy, "What kind of mixture?" Puppy replied quickly, "It's a mixture of both animal and human. It's a warning."

He drove up a far distance where I couldn't see him. I could no longer hear his cycle. His trench coat flew back from where he is at. I manage to catch his trench coat. I whispered as I got off my cycle, "Warning sign once again. Reminds me of my old days." I placed his trench coat over my shoulder. I walked and pushed my cycle along time road to keep silent.

I saw two figures coming in my directions. It was puppy and a child. Puppy walked towards me with a smile on his face. He points to his head as he tilts it. When we reached each other the little girl spoke out, "It's all in your head. Our tribe use bad memories or fear to put fear into someone." I gave the girl a soft look as she continues to speak, "I'm not a child. Your welcome to rest in our home. Your friend will keep watch over you." Puppy walks over and takes hold of my cycle. He gently tells me, "It will be fine. I know this tribe. I ran into them before we fought. They are friendly people." I looked at with surprise.

I kept silent all the way to the village. A man with war paint on his face and his eyes covered welcomed us with a brief smile. I felt as though we were the center of attention while we walking past everyone. When we finally arrived to a strange looking building. I started to follow Puppy. Without me noticing, the girl was no longer with us. We entered the building after Puppy placed my cycle next to his. While being behind him something had caught my attention. I questioned Puppy in a low deep whisper, "Do you have a tail?" Puppy stopped and opened the door without answering me.

We entered the room and Puppy closed the door. He gave me a strange look as he walks past me. He sat down on a chair that was next to a dirty window. He stared out of the window. His voice was serious, "I hide my tail because it shows that I am not human." I can see the expression on his face from the reflection on the window. He has a painful look in his eyes as they wonder around like if he is watching his prey. I walked over to the side of the window, leaning my back against the wall. Stared at the door because I was afraid to make eye contact.

In a soft voice I asked, "Do you know that girl from somewhere else?" Puppy replied, "To be honest I don't remember. You should get your rest." I nodded then pulled my body away from the wall. I took off my clothing that covered my torso. Leaving clothing to cover the bottom half of my body. I folded up my black leather like vest and navy blue belt straps that keeps my shoulder armor on. I laid on the bed then covered my eyes with my right arm. "Will you be here when I wake up?" Puppy looked at me but didn't answer. I heard him get up and leave the room. "It's like he doesn't remember anything." As time flew by, I feel into a deep slumber. Silence consumed the room.
