Memories (part 3)

As memories with my dog and my friends flew by all the good memories started slowly getting buried by the bad memories yet again

I started to remember what led to my death... my death in general which was also probably the death of my dog....

My dog... was probably d-dead...?

That thought alone brought me out of my daze

I was no longer looking through my memories

I was back

Back to the stupid forest

With the stupid rain

And the stupid people...

And this damn stupid pain in my chest?!

I knew that if I was still human I would have been crying... because it somehow felt like a part of me was crying it was an awful feeling that I hadn't felt in an awful long time

The rain around me kept getting heavier and heavier so instead of staying out there wallowing in what I could only identify as unreasonable self pity I decided to finally join in on whatever fun they were having inside the tent instead of staying in the hail like rain

I took my time standing up and took even more time just to walk to the front of the tent

For a moment I couldn't go in threw though

I couldn't walk into the tent

I don't know why but hearing all the laughing and conversations inside it all seemed... unreal in a way

Part of me kept telling me I... didnt belong there

A small voice in the back of my head was even going as far as to somehow tell me... I should have just stayed dead on the floor of that damn house

I wonder if I were to have the ability to pinch myself if I would just magically wake up

After being here for so long I find it stupid that I'm only hoping this is all a dream now

I let out a heavy breath and tried to push everything down

down from your head, to your heart, to your stomach, to your legs, all the way to your feet push that feeling down and lock it up

I had to take one more deep breathe before finally walking in...

As I walk inside the noises and joy that was evident in the atmosphere just got louder

I looked at all the stupidly happy faces and something inside me just calmed down

"Aye look who decided to finally join us" one of the knights said with a smile

"It smells like wet dog" another laughed

Just for that remark I walked over to him and shook all the water off me and onto him and some of the surroundings

He let out a little shrill scream for a moment because of unexpectedly getting all wet

Which of course no one let him off for as all of them laughed and started saying he screamed like a girl

My mood soon took a complete one eighty as the night went on and all pervious thoughts left my mind

I even got introduced to new games that night and I learned some new pranks

But sadly like all things the night had to come to an end and we all eventually went to sleep

_____________________________

I woke up sweating and letting out the dog version of what I can only think to be a scream which was growling, which ended up waking everyone up

I had a nightmare that had cause me to freak out when I woke up

Out of embarrassment I just burrowed myself into a blanket that was on the floor and hid away under it

But sadly even after I got all the way under my tail still stuck out the back slowly back swaying back and forth

"Haha Who knew that dogs also had nightmare's ever once in a while" I could hear one of the knights make fun

And that one joke had made a swarm of more jokes come through like a spiral effect but I found no humor in them

If I had cheeks they would have turned crimson in shame even as a dog I let out a shrill sound like a little girl from a small bad dream for a decently grown women that was definitely something to be kind of ashamed of

But all the poking fun at me had made me shameless enough to come out from my blanket and whack them all in the face with either my paw or my tail

'Bunch of bastards' I thought while snarling with my tongue stuck out which was a pretty funny sight to behold to be honest

In reaction to me whacking them they only laughed

Slowly some of them started leaving the tent to do who knows what

Probably to get everything ready to start moving again

As I watch a few of the knights leave I didn't notice the small child creeping behind me

While I laid unknowingly the little child gave me the fright of my life jumping on my back and hugging my neck

I simply licked his face as I looked back onto a smiling little boy whos clinging to my back

Unknown to the boy he had agitated a lot of the old scratches on my back and sides even causing some of them to start bleeding again

I wasn't gonna let him know so I just kept licking his face acting like nothing was out of order

As I was running in circles with him on my back giving him a mini roller-coaster ride he was unexpectedly lifted off my back

"You hurt Snowy you little imp, calm down" I looked back and saw Hunter holding the little kid while scolding him

I couldn't help but sadly smile and shake my head

he didn't have to take the kid off... it wouldn't have done more damage

Once Hunter put the kid back down I just walked over to him and put him right back on my back that was more light red then white at the moment and started running around all over again which brought giggles to erupt from on my back as the kid giggled
