My Pet
Chapter 4" Wendy's pet
A week had passed since Wendy had told me about her "pet". I wondered what kind of animal she had gotten, even to the point that I tried to peek into her room… but Ludwig would come and take me away, much to my annoyance. Seze has become better in hunting prey, he can identify a rabbit from a hare, a robin from a crow… and other small animals. Also, he now recognizes my voice: when I call him, he always comes closer. When I talked to him, he would sit by mi side and lick me in the face. One fine day, I decided to find out what Wendy's pet was. However, as I was heading for her room I felt something pulling me back. I turn to see Seze has grabbed my tail with his mouth and is pulling it, as if wanting to tell me not to go to Wendy' room.
"Seze let me go." I ordered him
Seze, however, just pulled me once again. I kneeled and caressed his back. Wendy then came with a prideful look in her face.
"Finally, she is ready!"She said triumphal
"You mean your pet?" I asked her
"No, my sweater! Of course my pet!"
"That means you will finally show it to me?"
"Yep! And it will send your chain chomp rolling down the hill!"
"And what kind of pet it is?"
"You will see. Lice, come here!" Wendy called
After a while, another chain chomp came. However, this one was clearly a female. Instead of black, her skin was light pink, she had a blue bow on her head and eye lashes. I couldn't believe it…
"uh… Wendy… that's a chain chomp too…" I whispered
"Yep, but she's prettier and smarter." she said
"For your information, Seze knows tricks too." I told her annoyed
"Oh, yeah. Well, let's see who's better! "She replied annoyed also
I noticed Seze wasn't paying attention to our arguing: he was looking at Lice, his eyes in the shape of hearts. I smirked; Seze had fallen in love with Lice. Wendy stepped away.
"Lice, talk." she ordered
Lice barked a few times
"Good job, girl." Wendy told her
"Well, Seze can do better" I said, my smirk still in my face "talk, Seze."
Seze gave louder barks
"Lice can fetch things. Go get it, girl." Wendy replied as she threw a small yellow ball and Lice went after it. After a while, she came back with the mouth in her mouth. I chuckled
"That's nothing. Seze, go and bring a you know what." I ordered, Seze barked in agreement as he left. We waited for a while, until finally Seze came back and dropped a dead robin in front of Wendy, I would have liked to burst into laughter when she looked horrified at the dead robin in her feet. She shaked her head and began to look steamed.
"Well, then… err… LICE, PLAY DEAD!" she yelled, Lice gave a woman scream and fell to the ground, pretending to be dead
"Now you, Seze" I ordered. Seze gave fake coughs and fell to the ground, faking also. I smiled satisfied as I patted his head
"This is not over yet! Lice is going to beat your pet! You will see!" Wendy said angrily as she left for her room, Lice opened her eyes and followed her. Seze also opened his eyes and stared lovingly at Lice. I caressed his head softly
"You fell in love with her, didn't you?" I asked him
Seze looked at me and then at her again
"Sorry to say this, but Wendy will never let you even go near her."
Seze seemed disappointed when I said this, so I decided to try and cheer him up
"But don't worry; maybe she will soften up later"
I picked Seze up and left for my room, I entered and rested in my bed. After I covered myself with my convertors, Seze jumped up to my bed and cradled close to my heart. A small smile drawed in my lips as I held Seze closer and fell asleep as the full moon illuminated the nocturnal sky in the castle.
