Chapter Six
On An Adventure We Go
Lexis' Point of View:
How on Earth did she not notice me, and where was she going with that rock? Honestly, I still wonder how I even came to these guys in the first. Oh, right…Blaire. Well, a dog has to be faithful to their family. I ran towards the window and screamed, well—barked, 'PARKOUR!' as I jumped onto the trees then to the grassy ground below.
"Okay, Amari. What kind of game are you playing this time?"
I followed each of her footprints by pacing quickly in each indent in the ground with each paw. Within just a few minutes, I then realized that I was coming to the edge of a mountain. I better go slow so I don't slip.
"Come on, Lexis….don't slip, don't—AAH!"
The next thing I knew, my back legs were sliding down the slippery and muddy grass; quickly sliding me towards what seemed like another set of green trees.
"Well, if this is the end, I'd just like to say that I'm sorry I ate all of those chocolate cupcakes even when I wasn't supposed to!" I whimpered. "I'm also sorry that I threw up in Zane's room afterwards and blamed it on Jay because I wasn't Dog enough to say that Lloyd did it! For the love of God, just let me live!"
Water splashes up around me, along with mud and green lily pads. I'm alive?
"Ha! I'm alive!" I shouted.
"And sitting on my head!" A Russian accent yells. I quickly jump off and watch as my newest acquaintance cautiously stood up and shook the water off of his body. "Honestly, the nerve of some people."
"Sorry man," I apologized.
"Hmph. And vhat are you supposed to be anyvway, some kind of German Shepherd?" He says with a huff.
"Black and Bay, and you are?"
"Western Siberian Laika. I'm surprised you didn't notice after falling flat on my back, smart one."
My ears drew back, "Hey! You know I didn't do that on purpose, and I said I was sorry!" This 'wolf' had some guts.
"Do us a favor, puppy, take your tail somewhere else and make sure not to bump into me again." He starts to move away from the scene, but I jump in front and make sure he stops in his tracks.
"Just who do you think you are?" I question irritably.
"Me?" he says. "I'm the dog two times your size, pigeon. Now, out of my vway."
"So you really think you can just shove me aside and keep walking? Believe me, you've got another thing coming. And my name is not puppy nor pigeon, it's Lexis."
He gives me a smirk and says, "Zeus."
Rachel's Point of View:
"Morning everybo—
"Don't walk there, there's glass!" Cole yells. My foot stops in midair, and I suddenly notice the bits and pieces of broken glass spread across the floor.
My attention faced towards the broken window that was letting in the cool, morning mist. "What the heck happened here?
"Somebody must have thrown something at the window last night while we were sleeping," Kai explained.
"How come nobody heard anything?" I asked.
"Maybe it's because sparkplug over here wouldn't stop snoring like a pig until five a.m.!" Cole responded.
"Hey, at least I don't eat cake in the middle of the night for 'pure protein'," Jay retaliated.
Cole growled, "You…"
"Hey, where's Lexis? I haven't seen her since that little 'freak-out' she had." Megan's face suddenly grew tense, "I haven't seen her at all, or Amari."
"Do you think they might have stepped out or something?" Lloyd asked.
"Hmph, knowing Amari she did more than just step out," I stated. "I say we spend a morning in town and try to find out exactly who did this."
"What about Amari and Lexis?"
"Don't worry about her," Megan says. "The pandas are with her."
