The same thing happened day after day. A trip to the lab then back home to my cage, not one break at all in the pattern. That is until one day. One day it was different. My owner was sick that day and so that day I got spared the harshness of the ray. The same thing happened the next day. As much as I hate to really admit it I got worried, worried for my owner. Would she be okay? I crept from my cage, for she had left it unlocked from the first day of her sickness, and I sneaked into her room.
She was lieing in bed, her back turned to the door. Cautiously I approached her and the bed. I stood on my hind legs and placed my front paws on the edge of the bed. She groaned but didn't turn to look at me. Slowly I slipped back to the floor and crept around the bed so that I could see her face. Once more I stood up with my paws on the bed. Her eyes were closed and she looked really pale. It had been days since she had left her room. I nudged her hand which was hanging off the bed, she only groaned once more. It took her awhile before she looked at me and spoke. "What are you doing in here?" Her words came out slurred and sounded more like 'Were oo done it ere?' instead of her actual questioning. Her tone was meant to be accusitory but it sounded more tired to be anything more than an passing comment.
All I could do was whimper. She looked really bad and I didn't know what to do. In an attempt to comfort her ailing torment I climbed into bed with her and shared my warmth with her. I thought she was cold but instead she was hot to the touch, she felt like she was on fire. "Teste..." Was all she could shoke out as I draped her arm around me. I liked her face and laid my head against her neck.
Next thing I know I was wakened by a doctor pulling me away from my master. I fought to get back to her side, she needed me! I was handed off to another whom carried me back to my cage and shoved me roughly inside. I fought the entire time, there were too many strange people walking in and out of the house. Too many people moving about in my master's room and they wouldn't let me near here. They carried equipment back and forth, bags, heavy machinery, a bed on wheels, and other odds and ends.
I clawed at the locked door of my cage, I just had to get out. No one payed any attention to me. I was frantic, there had to be some way I could get back to her. All I could do was watch as the pushed her past me on the bed on wheels. She was covered in tubes, some attached to bags and some to tanks while others didn't seem to be attached to anything at all. One of the heavy machines continued to beep, it was an irregular unsteady beep. Long pauses were issued between some beeps and others seemed to be something along steady.
After she was taken outside one of the men finally returned to me. "Sorry boy..." He mummbled through a tear clenched throat as he unlocked my cage and let me out. "It was for your own good." He stroked my back and scratched my head. I tilted my head to the side and stared up at him, he looked like he wanted to cry but wasn't allowed to. I climbed into his folded lap and laid my head on his thigh. He swallowed what I imagined was his unshed tears and continued to pet me. I don't know just how long we comforted each other before he had to leave.
Before he left he made sure I had food and water but he didn't put me back in my cage. "I will be back for you tomorrow." He promised me before he left, closing the front door behind him. I ran to a window and stood at it, my paws on the sill. I watched him drive away until I could no longer see him. I continued to stay there afterward, I don't know why, maybe I thought he would turn around and come back but he didn't. Slowly I climbed down from the window. I had nothing else to do so I paced the house for what seemed like hours on end but must have really been only a few minutes. I wanted my master back. The thought stuck with me as I wandered back into her room. I leaped up onto the bed and layed where she had lain. The blankets were damp but I didn't care I had to stay there and wait for her to come back.
