Chapter 22:
The war has ended.
"Phoenix." Someone said. She could hear but she couldn't respond.
'Is that a light?' she traversed a path through the darkness towards the light.
"Phoenix." Someone said again. The voice came from the light.
"Coming!" she yelled. When she touched the light and she began to fall nauseous, then her vision turned blue with white blotches.
'Wait a minute.' She thought. 'That's the sky.'
"Phoenix your alive."
'That voice is familiar.' She thought. "Max?" she said in a pained groan.
"Yes sis I am here. I was so worried." Max said.
"Where are we?" Phoenix asked.
"So were we." Kelly and Calvin said.
"Almost back to the farm." Max said answering Phoenix's question.
"Good." Phoenix replied.
"What happened in the lab?" Kelly asked.
"I'll tell you on the way home." Phoenix said.
Back at the farm:
"This war is ours." Bolt said.
"Listen up here pip-squeak; I will finish you off then I will leave." Mike said.
Bolt and the rest of his army had finished off all of Mikes army except for the leader and that was Mike.
"Take a look around you Mike. Three days have pasted and you are the only one left." Bolt said.
Mike looked around and saw that Bolt was right.
"Now you can either leave or join them." Bolt said.
"Alright you win for now but beware I will be back." Mike said as he turned and ran out of the house.
"No time to celebrate check on the wounded and get then taken care of." Bolt said.
As everyone was running about doing as they were told Mittens came out of her hiding place and approached Bolt.
"Bolt." She said. "We need to talk."
"About what?" Bolt asked.
"I don't think we should stay together." Mittens said.
"Why?" Bolt asked with tears welling up in his eyes.
"This life your living is dangerous and I don't want to be dragged into it anymore." Mittens answered. "I am sorry." She added as she walked out the door. As Mittens jumped off the porch she pasted Phoenix.
"Hey mom where are you going?" she asked.
"Out to the barn." Mittens answered.
'Somethings wrong.' Phoenix thought. She walked up onto the porch and inside the house.
"Dad" she yelled as she ran towards Bolt.
"Hey Phoenix." Bolt said half heartedly.
"What happened here?" Phoenix asked noticing the mutilated bodies.
"A little disagreement." Bolt answered.
"Well I need your permission to…" Phoenix started to say.
"Just go." Bolt said.
"Really?" Phoenix said. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yea I just lost some good friends." Bolt lied.
"Alright well I love you and I'll see you later." Phoenix said.
Bolt watched as his only daughter leave and he probably wouldn't see her for a while.
"Listen up everyone." He says trying to get the attention of his friends. "I'll clean up the rest of the mess you al can go hime." He said.
All dogs began to leave, and when they all were gone Bolt turned to start cleaning up the mess. He noticed that not all dogs had left. A white dog that had a light shade of brown fur going down her back and blue eyes. Was still there.
"I will stay and help." The dog said.
"No you should go home." Bolt said.
"Alright, if you need me I'll be over that hill." She said.
