Puppy Love
Chapter 7
Mission Accomplished
By Animeguera
Relena. I have left my guardian without any sort of protection. What if another perosn attempted to break in like last time? I had done something incredibly stupid. Yet, my master doesn't seem angry. Nor, does he seem much of anything right now. His eyes close at times and yet his body continues to move. To walk and carry me to whatever destination he intends. I don't know what to do. He needs human help, not mine. I could do nothing.
At one point I thought he had fallen asleep. We were near the end of the forest. He put his hand on a tree and leaned on it. His eyes closed and his breathing slowed to almost a complete stop. I tried to bark but couldn't. I licked his hand but he did not respond. I did the only thing I could think of. I opened my mouth and bit into his hand. He sharply grasped me. I could not breath. But he quickly loosened his grip. His eyes opened again and he looked down at me. Even behind the anger, he was grateful. I had helped my master!
He walked and kept walking. Stopping only at times to set me down to walk around and for him to breath. His breaths were becoming shorter and less frequent. His grip no longer felt like imprisonment. I could easily slip through his hands and escape. But why would I? It was starting to get dark. The clouds were beginning to move fast through the sky. Just like the other night. But no rain came down. The sky flashed with whtie bright light. I was scared with each bright flash, I saw the look in my master's eyes that he was about to collapse.
He faltered in his steps. He lay against a concrete wall and sat down. I jumped from his hands and looked up at him. His eyes were open but they were almost completely white. His grip no longer sought me out. His breaths were short. I barked. He did not stir. His hands wer at his sides, they did not move. I pawed at his chest, trying to reanimate him. But he remained motionless. What could I do?
I bit his hand again, hoping to revive him. But to no avail. He had fallen deep asleep and I could not wake him. I barked louder. Trying to stir him. I howled and barked. I growled at myself for being so incompetent. As I howled to the flashing sky, I noticed the place we stopped at. My master did have a destination. He finally arrived. He did not lie. He made it to where he was. I just needed to him help him.
I left him. I left my master there. Sitting against a cold stone wall unconscious. But I had a choice. To remain with him and have him not finish what he started or find the only person that could help him. The stone wall extended a long ways from my master to the edge of the house I wanted to enter. I could not jump over the stone wall, so I simply ran around it. The long run exhausted me. But I could not stop. And I did not stop. I ran around the stone wall. The soft grass under my paws. I remembered this. The wet dew from the rain jumped up to hit me. I soon hit the stone steps and the door, where I first met Relena. The door was shut and I could not get inside. I howled and barked. Jumped and clawed at the door.
There was no answer.
I barked again.
I howled.
I'm sure plenty of humans heard me. All but one. The one that mattered.
I did not give up. My master would have never given up, if he had the choice. So, I will not surrender.
I howled louder. The door was becoming a victim to my scratches and jumps. I stopped to breath and pant. Only for a minute. In that minute I heard footsteps. A light where I sat came on. I door rattled with anticipation.
The door opened to reveal ...Relena. I jumped up to her leg. Her clothing sliding me down. She smiled in surprise with sleepy eyes and bent down to pick me up. But, no. I didn't want to be cuddled or petted. I ran from her. She was confused. I had to show her where my master laid. She had to help him. I bit into her clothing, the little part I could reach and pulled her away from the door. She followed hesitantly.
I led her to the stone wall. We walked around it. All the while, her confusion grew more. But I had to show her. I had to finish what my master had begun. I hope he was going to survive this.
Before we reached where my master was laying, Relena ran forward. She almost squished me with her feet, but I forgave her. I sat on the floor and watch her run towards my master.
"Heero!" She screamed as she reached him. My master opened his eyes, if only for a second, but in that second you could see how happy he was to see her. He closed his eyes immediately again. But now he had Relena by his side. She hugged his unconscious body and tended to his wounds. Her clothing was now wrapped around my master's wounds. I walked over to them. She held him close and saw me approach.
"Come here, Zero." She signaled me. I came foward. Finally. My master and Relena were together and I could be with the both of them. I simply climbed onto my master and lay down. Conscious or not. He was warm and welcoming.
