Slow Day

"Why am I like this mom...?"

"I don't know honey, but it's not a bad thing, your just different from the rest."

"Humans cant vanish and reappear out of know where."

"No they can't honey, that's why you are so special. Your mother's special little boy."

"Is it my fault, did I do something to deserve this?"

"No. You did nothing wrong, it's no one's fault. It's not your fault either."

"Mom I know we're moving again because of me, I know I'm not normal and I'm okay with that. I know it's the reason I don't have friends, I know it's why you're worried about me."

As the mother kneeled in front of her son, she was at a loss for words. Tears threatened to fall out of her eyes, she stared at her son and hugged him tightly; to let him know no matter what he will never be alone.

...

A young boy sat in the dirt as he watched other kids playing different things in the playground, his face containing little emotions. No one knew what was going on inside his head.

"Woof~"

The boy was awoken from his thoughts as he turned around to where the noise came from.

"A dog...?"

In front of the boy stood a husky, half white and half black, with a little white dot right above its eye; the dog stared curiously at the boy while slightly panting.

The boy stared at the dog curiously wondering where it came from.

The dog strolled to the boy and started sniffing him softly, after sniffing the boy for a few seconds the dog released another happy woof, as it started licking the boy's face.

After licking the boy's face it backed away a few feet and stared at the boy intently.

The boy raised his hand and gently and softly put it forward inching closer and closer to the dog; the dog tried sniffing his hand while releasing cute little bites. The boy finally touched the dog's head, as its fluffy soft fur escaped through the gaps of his hands.

"Hehehehe~" the boy started laughing as he petted the dog with a happy smile on his face.

"Echo..."

"Echo...."

"ECHO DRAKE!"

Echo snapped his eyes open.

"WAKE UP!" The teacher yelled.

Echo raised his head leisurely.

He looked at the teacher with a blank stare, giving the teacher a slight chill.

"I... I... I wa...I wasn't going to say anything because usually, you don't disturb anyone, and even though you don't pay attention in class, I don't mind because of your extraordinary grades; but I can't allow you to sleep in my class." The teacher stumbled in the beginning frightened by Echo's stare.

"Is class over?" Echo asked, even though he was sleeping on his desk any normal student would look weird or groggy, but not Echo. He looked like he was ready to run a walkway he still looked perfect.

"... Yeah." The teacher was a bit dumbfounded.

Echo didn't say anything and simply stood up grabbed his bag and left the classroom under the dumbfounded stares of his classmates and teachers.

Echo closed the door to the classroom and started walking down the school hallway.

"Sigh... so boring today, Nyx should be waiting for me..." Echo mumbled as he was about to turn the corner ignoring his surroundings. Just as he was about to turn the corner he stopped, stopping just inches away from bumping into someone.

Echo stared at the man in front of him, as the man was slightly taller than him. He then moved to the side, as the man ignored him and continued walking.

"Isn't that the guy that transferred last month?" Echo mumbled as he stared at the back of the man before he shrugged, turned the corner, and headed down the stairs.

- BZZZZZZ!

The man that was walking down the hall suddenly stopped as his phone started vibrating inside his pocket.

He took out his phone and answered the call.

- Tch...

"Eun! Where are you!?" A voice was heard from the phone.

"School."

"School!? Why are you at school?! You told me school was important somehow, saying something was there. So I let you attend the school for a bit. You arent a real student! While you play student, there are trackers about! Are you insane!" The man on the phone sounded irritated.

"My apologies professor." Eun said as he let his professor reprimand him.

"Useless! Get back to the lab. now!"

"Yes, professor." Eun complied while looking out of the window as the call disconnected.

he saw multiple students having fun with their friends before he shifted his gaze away from the window and continued walking down the hallway.

...

...

...

Back at Echo's house, a was cat laying on the couch sleeping soundly. A few seconds later it slowly opened its eyes.

The cat looked around curiously wondering where he was, as he was in an unknown room with three dogs. One sleeping in a weird position, and the other two staring at him curiously.

(A/N: Pictures of the three dogs and the cat.)

All three dogs stared at one another before the one that was sleeping before started walking to the cat. Arriving in front of the cat, the dog raised his paw towards it.

"HIISSSSS!" The cat hissed as it bared its teeth at the dog, while the dog became scared at jumped back knocking into another dog as both dogs fell to the ground as the third dog just watched.

The cat continued to hiss as it stood up, and started walking to the dogs menacingly, while the three dogs were trembling in fear.

"Screeeeech!" the cat screeched as it jumped towards the dogs. While it was in the air, something suddenly hit it in the face.

In the air was the hitten cat, while Nyx kicked the dog in the face.

To the three dogs, it was like god had fallen out of heaven as they stared at the scene with sparkling eyes.

- Plop~

The cat landed on the couch knocked out like he got punched by Mike Tyson, while Nyx gently landed on the ground with grace.

(A/N: Picture of Nyx in Fox form)

"idiot." Nyx reprimanded the knocked-out cat.

"WOOF~" two of the dogs raised their paw in the air with tears of joy in their eyes, startling Nyx.

"Go away!" Nyx said helplessly as the two cats were rubbing against him while the third dog was poking at the 'dead' kitten.

- Click~

"I'm home." Echo said as entered the house.

He was greeted by the three dogs as they started sniffing and rubbing against him.

"Hey, there guys, and lady." Echo said as he started playing with the dogs.

"Nyx have you eaten anything?" Echo asked as he looked at Nyx.

"Oh good, I guess I was worried about nothing then~," Echo said as he shifted his gaze and saw open dog food cans laying on the ground.

Echo shifted his gaze once more and released a sigh as he stopped playing with the dogs and started walking towards the cat, "Has he woken up today?"

"Huh... yeah... he woke up once." Nyx looked away trying to act calm.

"When?" Echo said as he started poking the cat in the face unconsciously.

"...before you arrived." Nyx said as he stared at Echo poking at the cat in confusion.

Echo nodded and continued poking the cat for some reason.

"Echo, those dogs are strayed, right? And you don't keep them in the house..."

"Correct, they're strays and I don't keep them as pets but they stay here whenever they want. Why do you care?" Echo stopped poking the cat and looked at Nyx.

"Just..." Nyx couldn't find a reason.

Echo released a sigh, "When I was younger, I had no one besides my mom. We moved a lot because of me, People avoided me and I avoided people. I would be lying if I said I didn't want a few friends... but my first friend when I was younger was a dog." Echo said as he started playing with the dogs again.

"He was also a stray too, but he was always by my side. Until he vanished... I was all alone again, I tried looking for him but I had no luck. Then I moved again, and I never saw him again...

Now when I come across a stray, I can't help but try and help them. Everything you see is when I would buy treats or dog food and stock up since I'm assuming that's why your asking.

Not much of a story right?" Echo said as he looked towards Nyx with a dog in his arms.

"..." Nyx looked away.

"Yeah, not much of a story." Nyx said softly.

"I'm gonna take a nap." Echo yawned as he stretched his body.

"Your body is fatigued due to you using mine and your powers in the same day, and you reaching the limit in your powers in a single day." Nyx said.

"Yeah..." Echo said as he laid down on the floor.

Nyx started walking away.

"Nyx..."

"What?"

"You should stay until you get better..." Echo said as he looked at Nyx.

"Don't get soapy on me..." Nyx released a helpless sigh.

"Shut up~" Echo said as he closed his eyes.

"..." Nyx jumped on the couch and laid down.

He looked at Echo before he too closed his eyes.

Everyone fell asleep.

Nyx sleeping on the couch.

The cat is still knocked out.

Echo asleep while being covered by the three dogs.
