Next chapter is here. Or should I say first chapter.
Chapter 1: Hard times.
It was a normal and beautiful day in Adventure Bay. No situations, no problems, just a regular calm day in Adventure Bay. In the Lookout there was a small little black wolf puppy sitting beneath a tree. He was looking out with his bright green at the city from his spot. He loved this city, not because of the people but because it had places he really loves.
Skye: Cloud, get back inside your father wants you.
Cloud: Coming mommy.
He turned around and ran to his mother who stopped him and kissed him gently. She then let him go and let him get inside as she followed.
Skye: Now remember, you are still beginning in your training so don't overdo yourself.
Cloud: Okay mommy.
They kept walking together until they reached a room with Zuma and his other pups. Junior Misty and Princess who ran to Skye since she was not part of the same training.
Zuma: Cloud, is good to have you here. We were going to star. Stand next to Junior please.
Cloud walked happily to where his father told him but he was tripped by Misty as she snickered evilly. Junior followed her snickering.
Junior: Nice going dork.
Zuma: Okay listen up you three, remember that you are the only ones with warrior attributes while Princess has the one of a healer so she is not training with us, she goes with your grandma to train, and meanwhile you guys are stuck with me. Okay let's begin. Show me your markings.
When he said that Junior turned his markings, but his were yellow. Misty showed hers but they were orange. Cloud tried to release them but they didn't even budge. He kept forcing them out but as hard as he tried nothing happened. He then tried harder but he felt tired until he started to back up until he tripped on something else and fell on his back. This made his three siblings to laugh. Zuma however was not amused.
Zuma: Okay that's enough. Junior as always you did perfectly and Misty, you can do faster but good execution. And Cloud, try harder next time.
Junior: If he can.
Junior and Misty kept laughing.
Zuma: That's enough. Okay next in our schedule is, sparring. So get ready and prepare yourselves. Is a free-for-all. No teaming up and play fair. And remember that this is serious training so no messing around. And avoid hurting each other. You are family so don't injure or hurt them.
The three of them got in position. Before they start Junior and Misty were looking at each other plotting something nasty.
Zuma: Begin.
The three of them rushed at each other, they tried to tackle each other normally but there were times that Cloud was pushed by full aggression, he tried to get back in the fight but they kept kicking him out with their hind legs, he yelped sometimes but no one called out for that fault. Eventually he grabbed Misty by the tail with his mouth, it was the only acceptable place to bite with no force. But at that she started to spin around but Junior executed with the plan. He sneaked in and bit Misty with extreme force on the leg. She yelped extremely loud and her leg started to bleed and she dropped in the ground and tried to stand up but the injury made it hard. Zuma rushed in and separated them.
Zuma: Break it up, break it up.
She whined.
Zuma: What happened?
Misty: Cloud bit my leg. And I didn't even harmed him.
Zuma: Again, Cloud if you keep doing this I will have to expel you from training. This is the 17th time this month.
Cloud: It wasn't me daddy, she is making it up.
Zuma: Again with her making this up. Look the bite marks are there, she isn't making up anything. And after I told you to stop pointing like she was someone evil. Not only that you lie to me, but to not take responsibility and admitting your mistake is unacceptable. Cloud you are grounded.
Cloud: What? But daddy, that's not fair. I didn't do anything.
Zuma: Get in the pup house.
Cloud: But I…
Zuma: Pup house now.
Cloud lowered his head and dropped his ears and walked outside slowly. When he reached the pup house he dropped and cried. After the training they played with the other pups except for Cloud. Zuma was looking out the window of the Lookout.
Skye: Zuma dear. Don't you think you were a little hard on Cloud?
Zuma: I'm sorry honey but he has to learn to behave, he has been doing this ever since we began training.
Skye: Zuma he is just a pup, he still needs time to understand some things. What if it was an accident? After all he is a good pup, he would never do anything to harm the family.
Zuma: How am I supposed to get him to behave?
Skye: Well for one, go out there and talk to him, you are his father. Maybe is best that you two spend some time together. Who knows, maybe he needs his parents now. It isn't easy to watch everyone play while sitting doing nothing.
Zuma: I guess you are right. I will walk with him, that way we can both talk and clear our minds.
Skye: Now that's the way to think. I'll ask Iki to see if he can watch over the pups while they play.
Skye stood up and walked away to find Iki. Meanwhile Zuma walked outside and headed to Cloud.
Zuma: Hello son. Listen I know you are sad but how about we take a walk on the beach and there we can talk and hopefully I can let you off. What do you say?
Cloud: Okay.
He stood up and walked to Zuma but still looking sad.
Zuma: Excellent.
They walked down to each other towards the beach at the nice sunset.
