Chapter Nine (pilot)
I do not think I like my new home. The family does not understand it yet, but he is here. He feels different, kind of scary, not a human anymore, at least not like Carolyn and her family. I am worried for them and I am worried for me. I see him in the window as he watches us and I know he does not want us here. I try to tell my family by staying out of the house but they do not listen, so I will have to go in with them and protect them. I will not let him hurt my family. And I will not be scared by him because I am a terrier.
I see a picture of him over the fireplace and Carolyn likes the picture. My playmate Jonathan likes him too. I guess there is no accounting for tastes. The Scared One, called Claymore runs out of the house like he has a tail that is on fire. He is definitely not a terrier type.
My family works hard to clean the house, it is in need of it. Someone named Peavey shows up to make the walls a different color, but the transparent one doesn't like him and makes him run away. I will have to keep an eye on this one. So far he has not hurt anyone though.
Everyone is asleep now except for Carolyn. The children seem fine but she is going downstairs. She does not know it but I am following her. I must protect her from him. He appears and I see him close for the first time, my mistress does too and she seems surprised. I watch from around the corner as they talk. They are wary of each other but is there something else? Do they like each other? She does not have a mate, but him? He is nothing like her. He says he does not want to be a poodle by the fireplace! Perhaps there is some hope for him after all. My mistress asks him to leave and he says no. So now we are leaving? I do not understand why but I will follow my family anywhere. Suddenly he turns the car around. He wants us back, I know he does.
He and Carolyn talk again and settle their differences, it seems we will be staying after all. I listen outside the door that night and hear him murmur to her, soft words that humans say when they care for one another.
This is most interesting.
