Chapter 2

Now, lets continue with our story. White Star always wanted to be wild, and he talked about it all the time, and with his mother, even after his talk with her. His mom, understood him, but she wasn't as fond of his wild side and she actually wasn't very happy with him in his personalities. He wasn't rather her favorite puppy in this litter. Though, she knew that someday he'll understand his life, and she knew that it was his choice to be wild or not. Laila always knew that White Star will run away but didn't tell the litter, her owner and anybody else about it. Anyway, with the opened door, White Star took advantage of it, and carefully, without anybody noticing, he slipped out of the stall and went toward the exit.

"Wow, now I get to explore! I always wanted to be free, and now I am! This is amazing, now, lets think, where should I go? My mom always said to me that I had to start thinking, and now I'm thinking that being free which is fan-tas-tic!! Yahoo. Should I go toward the forest, or away from it?" White Star thought when he was outside of the barn.

After one minute of thinking, he turned toward the forest and went toward it. After a small hesitation, he ran as quickly as he could to freedom and in the forest he screamed "YAHOO!!! I'M FREE!!" with happiness and sadness. You see, he was a little sad because he didn't say "goodbye" to everyone properly. He also kind of knew that if Laila's owner finds him, he will probably get into lots and lots of trouble.

Finally, he questioned himself, "What am I going to eat?, Where would I have a home? Where am I going to live?" For a second he got worried there, he didn't know what to do. Then he got scared. But, it was too late. He tried to figure out his scent, but it didn't work. He didn't know what his scent was. "Oh no, I thought that I'm going to be here for only a couple of hours, but now, I don't know where I'm and don't know where to go. HELP ME!!! I NEED HELP!! Somebody, please help!"Nobody answered, except some bird calls. He guised of where to go to get home, but, unfortunately, he was going the opposite direction.

Laila was talking to her pups. It was a talk that she had with White Star. After the talk, she let the pups play for the last time while she was trying to find White Star. Though she knew that he would run away someday, she didn't know that it would come so early. She still tried to look for him.

"Oh no, where's White Star? I didn't know that he would run away this early. Well, I better tell this to Tom so that we could form a search party." She thought.

When she ran toward the house, thinking that he might be in the house, but she remembered that Tom might be anywhere. He could be near the exit and entrance to the farm where he was putting a sign for telling other people that he had puppies for sale, he could also be putting a cage for the female puppies and the male puppies. He could be in his computer room, where Laila wasn't allowed to go, posting a sign for available puppies the needed to be adopted, or he could be in the second barn or pastures where Laila also wasn't allowed to go in because she would scare the animals.

Without giving in to the search for Tom, she ran by the smell of what looked like to be him where he last walked through. At the same time, she barked so that her owner could hear her when she got closer. You see, Laila's owner knew that Laila never barked, except when something was wrong. Finally, Laila found him, but with great difficulty.

"Laila, what's wrong, my girl, is something wrong with your pups? You never bark except in emergencies." Tom asked Laila.

Laila barked and whimpered a little. Then she tried to lead Tom toward her pups. Tom got confused a little, but he followed her.

When it was about 9pm, knowing that he was going the wrong way but knew that he didn't know what way to go, he found a spot for rest. The place was unusual. It was out in the open. He wasn't used to it, since he slept in soft hay every night, but, he did a nest out of leaves and twigs really fast, so it wasn't that uncomfortable.

The place was in a deep forest, it was all green and brown. On one side, there was a dark cave. White Star knew that he shouldn't go in there, he was scared that there might be wolves, coyotes, foxes, bats or other carnivores that might scare him in the night. The cave wasn't that small actually. It was big but looked kind of small from the outside. On top of the cave, there was wet moss, where deer usually didn't come near, knowing that something could be dangerous in there. In front of White Star there was more of the forest that was deep and looked scary. On the left, there were a hole where a snake used to sliver, but now doesn't since it moved after growing thirty small snakes. There were more holes, but that's where little chipmunks saved their food for the winter. Even though White Star didn't know it. Something lived in the cave. But it wasn't anything like a wolf or any wild carnivore.

It was something of White Star's kind. A dog. The dog didn't want to be wild, it got lost in the woods, well, I think my reader. That's when we'll find out what that dog was doing here in the next chapter.
