My pads started to feel as though they are burning off of my paws. The wind died down the next day after I left the tom cat, Fang. I found shelter underneath a bench from anyone bothering me, but the sun seemed to wake me up from its warmth to keep me moving. The wound on my shoulder was worse today, it felt more opened and more painful. I didn`t dare have my front leg touch the ground I yelped more by it even touching slightest surface. *I need it to heal and mend on its own*, *I can`t walk on it* I thought

   I kept walking, only nose and ears guiding me to my next rest place, heaving myself with each step I took. My stomach felt empty and my mouth was dry, I couldn`t find any easy food or water, I only hoped for them. The ground seemed hard and solid, burning hot from the rays of the sun. I kept walking though I didn`t want to stop until the air feels cooler. Suddenly, a wave of touch grasped on my back, I froze as I felt my paws no longer touching the ground.

" Hey there, what are you doing out here?"

a human voice rang in my ear. My pulse skipped faster, I felt scared of the unknown man wondering what he would do to me. He held me firmly as I tried to squirm out of his grip. I tried whipping my head around trying to find where the man`s voice came from.

"Hmph." he grunted,"No tag, I guess your a stray."

My heart was beating more faster *Who knows what he will do! I can`t trust anyone!* I carefully tried to lick him, making him think I`m friendly towards him. I started taking in the scent, his smell was very sour and seemed very acid like. It gave me shivers just sniffing him!

"Friendly then buddy?" his tone was unsettling, as he was just beginning to stroke my head. "Good do-"

I strike with a bite at the second he tried to touch me. He yelled in agony as I felt his hands no longer on my fur. I tumbled down to the ground yelping at the fall. I got up and grudged myself to keep moving, I ran every step painful on my paw. ''For dog`s sake! Way to go Moonpie for keeping the vow to have your paw mend on its own." I muttered each word was each breath I had as I blindly ran. As I kept running thoughts having hard to focus. BUMP! I scurvied to the hard surface, barely taking noticed of the hit I took. My thoughts swirled and eventually disappeared, losing grip of any hope I had left.

My thoughts came back, weary I tried to hear what`s going on. I suddenly felt someone nose me, as if trying to wake me up.

"Do you think she is okay?" A voice spoke.

I sniffed a bit. I smelled dogs, they were my age.

I could imagine the one responding shaking their head, "I-I `m not sure, she looks beaten up." they paused for a moment as one of them placed their paw on me.

I muttered a bit feeling my pain return as I tried opening my blind eyes to show them I`m awake and conscious.

One gasped "She`s awake" one padded towards me as I felt their breath on me. "Hey there! I`m Keia! Are you alright?" the pup spoke.

I laid myself up and stayed silent, not knowing if I could tell them. I heard the sounding sentation of wheels and a collar jingle.

"I`m Lollie," she spoke. "Where are your owners, are you hurt?"

I could picture her eyes full with concern as I heard her panting, I didn`t want to say much. I wanted to be left alone.

"I`m fine." I snapped. *I don`t know these two! They don`t need to know!*

Lollie spoke, "Hey, you`re gonna be okay now. Me and Keia can take you to Ana, she can help your wounds."

"Yeah! And we can help you feel better," Keia chimed in.

"What`s your name?" Keia added to her line.

"Moonpie" I spoke. Suspicion prickled through me with thought of more questions.

"Hey, we can take you back, come on, let us help you. Can you get up fine?" Lollie spoke.

"I can`t see where I`m going." I replied low.

I can imagine Keia nodding, "Lollie you go on the right and I`ll go on the other."

"Got it." Lollie replied

I couldn`t argue back,I wanted to snap at them and yell *'I`m okay'* or *'I`m fine.*' But I felt so weary and desperate for help. I dragged myself bit up as one of them helped me up. The two of pressed against my sides to support me. I began to limp as they supported me up. I heard the padding of paws and the faint squeaking of wheels as I limped with them. The air seemed more tight as more steps I take, I kept quiet though. I didn`t want to give them more work on me. One of them pressed their muzzle against the side of my face.

"Trust me, Ana is nice. She is going to help you, maybe find you a home too." It was Lollie. I felt more calm, *Maybe this Ana would be nice..like Aaron*. Memories of my family came back.

*I wonder if they miss me?*
