As daylight broke its way over the horizon, I saw that Charlie was sitting up and staring at me. I didn't quite know what this meant, but I took it as a compliment as he looked away and blushed.
"Morning Charlie," I said with my cheeks still red.
"Morning, so how'd you sleep?"
"I slept great, which is surprising."
"Surprising?"
"Yeah, because, well, we were sleeping underneath a slide."
"Oh yeah, I forgot."
"How?"
"Well, you have really soft fur."
"Heh, thanks," I said as I blushed again.
"So what're we doing today?"
"Well, last night, I made a new friend that can help us get back at Crescent."
"Oh really, who?"
"Chase, he works with her. Poor guy, he must have to go through a lot with her."
"Why's that?"
"Well he's a German Shepard too and I guess she has some apparent deep hatred of my breed."
"Oh, well maybe that's why she faked it and got you thrown in the pound."
"Maybe… well…"
"What?"
"I was kind of a bitch to her when we first met, but I don't think that would've mattered."
"Hmm, maybe, but I want to go talk to Crescent."
"Why all of the sudden?"
"Well, she probably doesn't hate my breed, so I may have an easier time talking with her."
"Maybe, but I still don't think you should go."
"Why?"
"She has a big temper and doesn't know when she's gone too far. I just don't want her to hurt you."
"Well, I guess I don't have to talk to her, but it would be interesting to learn what she thinks and why."
"I suppose… Hey, I'm getting hungry, I'm going to go get us some food from Mr. Porter's."
"Okay, I'll be here," Charlie said sitting down.
"I'll be back soon," I said as I began walking off towards the shop.
Man, Charlie's cute, especially with his long, floppy ears. I just love them, I hope we can spend more time with each other. That bitch Crescent just better not get in our way, if she does, I swear it'll be the last thing she does and I mean it. I mean, I don't know why she hates me so much. Just because I'm a Shepard doesn't mean I'm a bad pup. She has no right to judge me like that. Oh well, I have more time to think later, I have to get some food from Mr. Porter.
I walked up to the shop and stopped dead in my tracks. I scowled at the sight of the big wolf dog standing in the shop, talking to Alex. I silently growled as I hid myself from her sight. When she turned around, I had just barely made it into the bushes along the side and waited for her to high tail it out of there.
Sorry for the shorter chapter, but I was swamped with homework this weekend and really didn't get all that much time and I wanted to get something out for you. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'll see you in the next one. Well, not the next one because that's Sianni's but, you know what I mean. Any who, see you all later.
