Moonpie- Main Character

Fang- Grey and black tom

I woke up, weary and tired. I rubbed my eyes with one of my paws, feeling as though my fur was still on fire. I still couldn`t see. I zoned out for a few moments, I felt so shock from what happened before my eyes. Well when I had sight I thought. I got up and THUMP! I went back down with legs sprawled out. *For dog`s sake! I forgot that* *I`m in a log*. I grumbled as I this time dragged my body slowly out of the log, cautiously trying to not to hit my head this time. I sniffed around the log and eventually dragged myself out of the log. I felt the grass and soil no longer soft beneath my paws and the air smelled as faint smoke. From all of what I possibly can smell and feel, I know for sure my home is completely destroyed. I sat down, felt hopeless with my disability of how I`m blind. My mom passed on, and my family...

I paused with my thoughts and raise my paw and head up in the air. I didn`t smell them close by, they must of left without me. My head shook and comforted myself with one thought, *I`ll see them again*, I know I will.

I placed my one paw down and yipped as placing a increasing amount of pressure. I placed my other paw across my paw to my shoulder, trying to find if any injuries were visible. I stopped feeling a wound on my shoulder and immediately took it off the wound. It must of happened when I fell to the ground when I leapt away from the falling tree. I settled my paw to a comfortable position and began to limp to ease less of the pain, and went to where the wind blew. As I took a few limps across the field I heard a voice.

"Say, what ya doin` way out here?"

My tracks stopped dead not knowing what to say, I don`t know who it was so I responded cautiously and tried to keep my voice firm so no suspicion rose, "I`m just walking around, wanted to see what was out here."

I heard him grunted and he began to say, "Why out here? I bet you were in that fire weren`t you?"

I wipped my head around to where I heard his voice. How does he know? Did he see me? My Mother or Dad and my syblings?

"How would you know?" I responded cold.

I could imagine him just shrugging his shoulders, "Eh, just guessin`"

My body felt a surge of uneasiness coming from him, I took a whiff of his scent. He`s no dog! He is a cat!

"Say, I`m Fang, who are you?"

I paused for a few moments and said my name, "Moonpie."

I could feel Fang`s eye gaze on me, I cringed, hating the feeling he is staring at me. I turned from the direction his scent was, expecting he would leave me alone. Instead, Fang leapt in my way and I felt annoyance trinkle in my blood. I felt in pain and weary, all I want is to go somewhere else where I don`t have to see anyone.  "Look, don`t go blocking my way, Fang. Leave me alone! " I snapped and pushed my way giving him a growl of warning.

I heard the flick of his tail and I stopped for a moment.

"Well?" I said not daring to turn my head.

"I know a town nearby you can go too, its not far." he offered.

*I`d do anything for him to get off my tail*, I thought in silence. I stared where I can feel his eyes on me and walked up towards him to where I stood a certain length where his scent was.

" You are blind, ain`t ya?" Fang said.

I dug my less painful paw into the ground and glared at him, I started to feel irratated at all his questions. "Yes, is that a problem?''

I could just imagine him rolling his eyes saying, "No, you just looked like you`re blind, but you act like you can see."

I wanted to snap at him and tell him to keep his jaws shut, but I held it back in. Taking a deep breath, I nodded my head in acception.

"Okay, take me to the town then."

A short pause came from him and soon the silence finally broke, " Follow me."

He brushed passed me and walked upwind as he trodded the direction. I wearily followed him trying to keep my head up as I limp, only trusting my nose and ears. We spent the past hour walking, and with his annoying, but yet puzzling questions, mostly about the fire. He wanted every detail of a moment I said. Soon, Fang`s paw steps haulted. There were so many smells coming from the direction I was facing. It must be the town he is meaning.

"Here`s the border" he mewed quietly, "You`re on your own now,Moonpie."

*Good! Now he can finally get off of my fur!*

"Well, thank you." I trotted towards the direction I smelled all the intriguing scents, leaving Fang behind

*I`m on my own,* I sighed as I thought of one thing.

*now what?*
