But how can that be,
Look what love gave us,
World full of killing,
And blood-spilling, that world never came.}


I kept walking and walking, a slow trot. There was a lot of smells and my nose was over whelmed. Eventually, the sun began to set. I am so weary I could just fall down and sleep, but the small brute behind me keeping close to me tail I just can’t stop he is so helpless. I sigh, scrunching my eyes up. I keep going the weariness must have been plain on my face. Must keep going. We should stop the wee lad must be getting tired. I certainly am. In and out, in and out. Calm down, Shea. You are fine. You are doing well. I keep going casting about for somewhere to sleep; eventually I see something it looks like an overhang of rock. As we creep closer it turns out to be a shallow cave. Using my nose I enter the cave, nothing had been in here for years. We can sleep here. I laid my great body down, resting my head on my paws so I could see out.


_{And they say that a hero could save us,
I'm not gonna stand here and wait,
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles,
Watch as we all fly away.}

I followed Shea for what seemed like hours. Her pace was slowing, she must be tried, I thought. I closed my own eyes too, I was, too, tired. Nevertheless, I continued following her in silence. She came to a cave, offering to sleep her. I nodded my head, politely. She curled up to sleep. I laid my body a few feet from her, and waited for sleep to greet me. But it didn’t. I slowly opened my eyes, to see Shea asleep. Her chest slowly rising and falling.

A moment later, I closed my eyes again. She was very pretty, and kind. Of course, when I’m older, she’d never fall for a dog like myself, and she shouldn’t. I let my thoughts take over as I soon fell into a small slumber.

The nightmares are coming, I can feel them. Even in my waking hours they haunt me. The dark, the black, the screaming, the pain, not to forget the death. It started, an ominous cloud drifting closer and closer. NO! The shapes moved in, I swung around my heart pumping, hairs standing up about my body. The edged closer, closer, near and near. The darkness creep into my bones, the very marrow inside me. Sarcastic smiles flashed onto their faces, obviously laughing at my plain terror. NO! Please NO! I was screaming at the top of my lungs, they hurt. I turned my tail whipping around. A shadow nearly grab it, thankfully it didn’t. I shot off; howls off dismal and excitement at the hunt arose. My breathing was short, quick, sharp. The air pierced my lungs. The burn in my limbs, I tried to add another burst but to no avail. It was so that I found myself face to face with an enormous crevice; I couldn’t stop in time and slipped. Falling, falling. A scream sliced the air. I woke my throat sore from screaming, had I scream. I lay there in the dark panting, terror causing my body to shake. Silent tears trailed down my face.

My eyes opened, the sleep had been rough. I could hear Shea's heavy panting as though she had just had a nightmare. I focused my eyes to the dark and just stared at her silently for a moment. "Are you okay?" I whispered quietly..

I stood up, I really liked Shea, and I doubt I'd ever be able to tell her. I couldn't do. I was nervous, if she didn't love me, which I suspected she didn't.. I don't know what I'd do. I was young though, she wouldn't have to scoop to my level and it isn't what I'd want either..

Face it. I'm a no-one..
