I ran for my life. Pushing through brambles and thorn bushes. Where I was heading, I had no idea. All I knew was that I couldn't let the salmon boy catch me.
The sound of an engine revving up sounded from just beyond the trees and my pace picked up even more. I couldnt out run a car, but i sure as hell was gonna try. I jumped over a log a squished myself down as far as I could. Or I would hide and hope they didn't find me.
The car sped past me. DID I DO IT? I stayed down for about 20 minutes afterwards but there were no more signs of Mr. Pink Hair or the black vehicle. Slowly, I got up. The silence surrounding me made me feel like I was intruding on someone's territory. I walked around, stopping occasionally to look around bushes and scan the trees. It was getting dark now and I still hadn't eaten. MAYBE IT'S SAFE TO GO B- a snap yelp of pain sounded to the left of me. And instinct had me rushing to it.
Stretched out on the ground in a little clearing was a small little white puppy. I gasped when I realized he'd been savagely attacked and left for dead. I ran and knelt by him, "You poor thing…"
His small floppy ears perked at my voice but he whimpered and tried to nip me when i placed a hand on his side.
"Shhhhh little guy," I said softly, stroking his sticky fur, "I won't hurt you…" My other hand came around slowly and hovered a few inches from his face, causing him squirm and bark out in pain, "It's okay baby… I'm here to help…" I closed my eyes and gently brought the hand down the rest of the way, "Just relax…" And I healed him. Then passed out.
The sound of angry barking woke me up. My eyes fluttered open to what should have been a pitch dark woodland scenery. But instead there was a flashlight shining on a little white puppy dog who looked to be in quite a mood. I groaned and held my head. And was immediately covered in wet sloppy kisses. "H-hey boy," I giggled as I tried to calm the ball of fuzz tackling my face.
"What was that?"
I jumped at the sudden sound and the puppy immediately started yapping again.
"And shut that thing up!" The voice yelled at me. It sounded familiar… where had I heard it before?
"Shhhh shhh baby hush," I patted the little guys head as he quieted down. Then I addressed the mysterious shadow trying to blind me with a flashlight, "Who are you?"
"First answer me," The voice sounded irritated, "What was that you were doing a few moments ago?"
"What are you talking about?" I squinted into the light, trying to gauge the person's face behind the metal handle.
"Dont play dumb with me!" The voice shouted as the person took a intimidating step forward.
Puppy stood up and growled, lowering his head.
"I don't think Puppy likes your tone…" I warned. I REALLY NEED TO GIVE HIM A NAME.
"I could give a rat's tail what he likes," voiceman said as he came even closer, "I will step on him."
Puppy backed up a little bit but revealed his sharp little fangs.
"You're gonna tell me what the hell you just did with the blue light and the stupid dog," he finally stood straight ahead of me and i gasped in shock when I recognized him, "And you're also gonna tell us how you know Mr. Heartfilia."
Plue was already in the process of lunging for the guy in front that he could do nothing about the person who grabbed me from behind and covered my face with a towel. I last thing I saw before blacking out again was pink hair and worried eyes.
