CHAPTER 2: NEW FEELINGS
A / N: Hello guys, I'm back. I read your reviews and so I will do ChasexMarshall in this story. Thank you for your contribution (me too think that they are very cute together )
"I can't wait to go to the lake, they say it is a very beautiful place" said Everest excited.
Jake put his suitcase down and smiled "Me too Everest, I'm sure it will be a fantastic day"
Jake and Everest heard the sound of a car horn.
"They arrived" said Jake.
The Paw Patroller stopped and the side door opened. Jake and Everest took their things and went into the big vehicle.
"Hi Jake, hi Everest, thanks for inviting us" said Ryder.
"No problem dude, the more the merrier" Jake and Everest sat near Skye, Rubble and Zuma.
"Well now we can go, robot-dog, get us to the Swan Lake"
Robot-dog began to drive to North, leaving behind Adventure Bay.
"Then Katie, how are things at the clinic?" asked Jake.
"Very well, thank you, I have decided to restructure the clinic to add a new room, but I have to see if my parents are willing to spend the money. And to your ski run?" asked Katie.
"Good, this year we had an increase of 20%, was a very good season for me" said Jake with pride.
The other pups were listening to the conversation but there was a certain dalmatian who was thinking of something else.
It's strange ... I never realized how much Chase's fur looked so soft, or the fact that with time the color has become slightly darker, or his eyes ... I never noticed the way they shine when he's happy.
"Uhm Marshall? Are you okay?" asked Chase, beginning to feel a little uncomfortable.
But Marshall was completely absorbed in his thoughts.
"Marshall?!" the Dalmatian blinked.
"What? Where? Are we arrive?" he asked confused.
"Uhm, no ... but you were acting so weird" said Chase.
"What do you mean?" asked Marshall.
"Well, you kept looking at me, it seemed like you dreamed with open eyes" said Chase.
Marshall realized what had happened and began to blush. "Oh ... I'm sorry ... Chase ..." he said, laughing nervously.
"But, are you ... blushing?" Chase raised an eyebrow.
"What? No ... it's that... it's hot here" Marshall replied, trying to sound convincing.
"Oookay, if you say so" said Chase.
Marshall put a paw on his forehead. Why I was staring at Chase? Why I thought about those things? I must have eaten too much at breakfast.
After two hours of the journey the group arrived at the Swan Lake. "We have arrived" said Ryder.
After stopping the Paw Patroller Ryder, Jake, Katie and the pups came out of the vehicle. Swan Lake was lovely, a great mirror of crystal clear water, surrounded by high mountains and meadows, rich with flowers and trees. There was also a large building just a few meters from the water after you could eat, sleep and hire small boats to cross the lake.
"Wow, it's a fantastic place" said Skye.
"But why they call it Swan Lake?" asked Marshall.
All stared at him
"What's up?" asked the Dalmatian confused.
"Well, it's called Swan Lake because here there are ... the swans" said Ryder, chuckling.
At that moment a flock of white swans landed in the water, starting to swim.
"Oh ... right" said Marshall, the other pups started to laugh.
"Marshall, you're really funny dude" said Zuma.
"Yes, you're adorable Marshall" when Chase realized what he had said he widened his eyes. "Wait. WHAT?!"
The others pups looked at the German shepherd.
Marshall blushed. "Um ... thanks" he said shyly.
"I ... I mean ... I'll get my things" Chase walked to the Paw Patroller, everyone didn't notice it, but his cheeks had suddenly become red. Chase entered in the Paw Patroller.
"Adorable? I told that he is adorable?! What was I thinking?! "
"Chase you all right?"
Chase turned and saw Ryder approaching.
"Uhm, sure ... I think" he said.
"Are you sure?" Ryder looked concerned.
"Sure! Never better!" said Chase, laughing nervously.
"Okay, but if you need anything, call me"
Chase smiled, "Of course, thanks sir"
Ryder smiled and returned to the others.
Chase sighed. "Adorable ... is absurd"
Ryder had brought three deckchairs and three umbrellas for himself, for Katie and for Jake. Jake and Ryder were talking while Katie brushed Cali's fur. Meanwhile Rubble, Zuma, Everest and Skye had entered in the water.
"The water is so refreshing. This place is amazing" said Everest.
"Hey, Rocky, why don't you come in the water? It looks great" Zuma tried to convince Rocky to take a bath.
"And do you ask me? I'm not going to get wet, I'll stay in the grass" said Rocky.
"And you Marshall?" Asked Everest.
"Yes! Are you ready for my super dip?" Marshall began to run toward the edge of the lake.
"Marshall wait! The water is... " Skye couldn't finish her sentence.
Marshall jumped to dive but when he entered in the water hit his head on the bottom of the lake.
"Too low ..." said Skye.
Marshall rubbed his head with a paw.
"Are you hurt?" asked Rubble.
"No, I'm fine. Next time it's better if I control the depth of the water before jump"
The other pups started laughing. Chase was sitting near the Paw Patroller and was eating biscuits, after seeing the scene he couldn't resist and he started to laugh.
"Marshall is really fun. He is so cute with his clumsiness"
Chase ate some cookies, but while he chewed he realized what he had said and spat them out of the mouth "CUTE?!"
"Hey Chase, do you want to come in the water with us?" asked Marshall smiling.
"I ... not now" said Chase approaching Ryder, the other pups stared each other.
"Uhm, Ryder sir?"
The young leader turned "Hi Chase, do you need something?" he asked.
"I ... I wanted to ask if I could go for a walk" said the pup.
"Sure, but don't go too far"
"Thanks Ryder" Chase headed for the woods.
"Where are you going?" asked Marshall.
The German shepherd hesitated before answering. "I'm going for a walk"
The Dalmatian began to wag "Really? Can I come with you?" asked Marshall.
"No" replied dryly Chase. Marshall whimpered
"I mean ... I would like to be alone for a while time"
The other watched Chase as he walked away. "Marshall and Chase behave strange this morning, what's happening with them?" asked Zuma.
"I don't know, let's hope it's nothing serious" said Skye.
Chase was walking in the small forest near the lake. "What's happening to me? Why did I say that? Why... I can't stop staring Marshall?"
With these questions Chase continued to walk in the forest. After 35 minutes, the German shepherd came to a little slope, below him flowed a stream. Chase sat on the edge of the slope and began to think.
OK, it is obvious that Marshall and I have a special bond. I mean, we have grown almost together, we're like brothers. But what are these new feelings ? What does all this mean?
While Chase was thinking of these and other things the ground where he was sitting began to yield.
I feel suspended in the air.
Suddenly he heard a strange noise, "What..."
A few seconds later the ground began to give way.
"Oh no!" Chase turned to leave but at that moment the ground gave way. Chase used his front paws and tried to hang on the ground, but the weight of his body was dragging him down.
"HELP !" as he shouted his collar clung to a rock.
"HELP! Please, someone help me!"
But was all useless, his paws slipped and Chase began to fall, his collar, stuck on a rock, broke away from his neck and stood on the edge of the cliff.
"NO!" Chase fell into the icy water and the strong current began to drag him away.
