A time and place (wip)

Time seemed to freeze for a moment as a Husky, Tiger and a Clydesdale all sat next to him. "You think she really cared?" The tiger growled, with tears rolling down Husian the husky's face. "No, it wasn't just her mother but her too!" Ludo the tiger continued shaking but held himself back as both his eyes glowed. "Don't tell me you think it wasn't her.. TELL ME, HUH. WHO ELSE WAS IT?! WHO?!" 
(Name) "I know, you don't think I know?! we all knew it was going to happen anyway. But here we went just to see our daughter. We knew the consiquionses, we were going to get in trouble anyway regardless..." Fuego the Clydesdale chimed in. "That's not how you say that word." (Name) huffed, "Shut up, Fuego I know that's not how you say it it's how I say it.. thanks thou, I'll try to say it right the next time." Fuego scoffed, "Ha, maybe don't worry about it. Speaking problems is what we do best." (Name) took a deep breath and it was silent before (name) looked up at the officer as time seemed to continue. "So you couldn't help yourself?" the officer asked. "No, I can handle myself I know when to continue and when to stop.. Can you sir? Once she said stop I stopped." His eyes narrowed before sipping come of the drink given to him. "So you didn't get off and only she did? come on you didn't get off? go another round?" The officer continued giving a crooked smile, with a friendly front. My eyes stared at him, "I don't have to get off, I can get myself off just as good. it's not about getting off if your into it for that then you need to find some help." Hus had spoken up, taken over for a moment before putting the finished cup down onto the table. "So no I did not go for round two.. I left afterwards, I just arrived back to my hotel room and was going to bed. so now it's almost time for me to go to work." Hus staring directly into the officers eyes, "Oh and where do you work at?" the officer reached over grabbing his pen and began to write on the note pad on the table. "Laborer ready." Soon as the name of the business was said the pen was placed back in the officers pocket without writing it down. "Oh, You work there huh?" The officer stared back into Hus's eyes. "Yes, is that a problem? Am I being detained or kept, cause I need to go to work." The officer looked away some and shook his head, "Hold on a minute and we'll see.." The officer left the room, as the door closed time froze. "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Hus that was awesome!!" (Name) Jumped into the air as Hus sat in the chair thinking to himself as he took a deep breath, "Urgh why does this always happen to us?!" All shrugged a bit as (name) walked around and stretched a bit. The tiger was angrily pacing the room, as he held his chest some. "Hey.. You okay.. calm down bud you're going to give yourself a heart attack." The tiger snapped around, "And how can you be so calm huh? this is happening to you all as well.. all of us just went through that.. why aren't you angry? why aren't you sad?.. am I the only one that's hurting?" Hus looked down at the cup on the table, frowned as a single tear ran down his face. "If they find out they had a restraining order against us, and now they accuse us of ra-.. rape?.. we'll never see our daughter again.. We knew we all knew something like this was going to happen. but if that's the last time we got to see her.. Then I will make sure that memory never goes away.. even if that one moment we got to see her.. she was walking talking her jibber jabber.. she got so mad to see us go.. she's our baby and will always be. You know as well as the rest of us she will be grown up and told we are evil and never come around us we will just kidnap her and we are bad people.." Tears were rolling down each cheek as Hus was talking, he was trying very hard to hold back his tears. "We all know this Ludo, but we got to keep this memory of our last time seeing our daughter.. we're not good with the memories but we got to try.. please each of us has to keep this in our minds.. One us remember.." Fuego scoffed and sniffled a bit. "Yeah.. easier said than done you know that.. but we will all do our part to remember." They all nodded, drying their eyes and sighed softly. Time was started with a deep breath from Hus as he looked around the room looking at the infamous mirror that was a two way mirror. Thinking of who could be or couldn't be behind the mirror before looking at his empty cup. "Empty." lifting the cup some saying softly to himself. The door opened a moment later, "Alright your free to go." Blinking a bit. "Huh? oh okay." Standing up from the chair and rubbed his back with a pop. "Ow.." The officer began leading the way outside. "Anything I need to do?" Hus asked, "Hm? Nope your free to go we aren't holding you so we are letting you go." Hus raised his brow, "Oh, okay." Walking to a door as the officer opened it up for Hus. "Have a good day." Hus looked at him and smiled softly. "Thank you, you too have a nice day." He said tiredly before walking out the door. It was the side of the police station, looking around remembering where he was. Placing his paws in his pocket and began walking down the street as the officer closed the door and walked away back into the police station. A block away he stretched some with a more tired yawn coming from his mouth. "..No, sir I'm sorry we can't give you a ride back to your home.. it is a inconvenious..." Hus began talking as the others were walking beside him, "That's not how you say it." Hus said to Fuego, "Yeah I know haha maybe I'll say it right next time." Chuckling softly to each other as they were all smiles happy to have not been put into jail or worse. Over joyed that they get another chance to make things right. "So we going to work or sleep?" Stopping for a moment as the body continued, a map popped up below them as they walked around so they all could see. "Hmm.. well we are here so lets go this way?" Ludo gesturing the path, Hus shook his head. "No how about this way it will be a bit longer but we can maybe swing by and change our clothes first." Glancing down at their clothing. "Ah, yeah well while we are their why don't we grab something to eat maybe.. make something in the fridge?" Fuego asked, "Well we only have that cookie batter stuff we were saving to make cookies with for a treat." Ludo nodded some but shrugged his shoulders. "True but we.. need that to last us too." Hus pointed out before they all went silent before nodding looking down some before the map closed and they began walking again heading back to the hotel room. The chill of the morning air blew across their bodies, "Maybe a shower.. I feel disgusting." nodding to himself, as did everyone else resting his right hand upon his stomach as he walked. Heading over the bridge turning to look at the sky changing, bringing a soft smile to his face when a warm beam of light touched his face. "Maybe this was the worse of it.. it can only get better from now on right?" Walking over the bridge as the wood creaked and groaned over the weight. His hand gripping his loose body fat, "Still fat ha.. starving ourselves each day and working hard and we're still a fat mess haha." chuckling a bit to himself trying to smile a bit at the irony. A light chuckle came out, coming over the bridge. Shortly after they arrived at the hotel two older couple with homemade lawn chairs sat out on the balcony. "You're coming home early!.. Or should I say late.." the couple chuckled some. "Oh you know.. wondering around couldn't sleep hah you know being young and wild" He chuckled replying back, as they all laughed a bit. "Oh back when I was your age." the older man started talking before the other giggled. Telling stories of young male roaming of his own before meting the one he was with now. It began a fight with words as they bickered a bit. "Alright heh well you two behave yourselves." almost in unison, "Not if we can help it!" laughing softly before walking into our room. Closing the door as everyone collapses on the beds with a groan. Laying there as they rested their bodies for a moment their eyes still open and looking up at the ceiling. "Well.. Who wants to work today?" Laying quiet before each of them began undressing and taking turns showering. "We all are.. we got to." Hus sighing heavily as he struggled a bit to get up from the bed. "Alright well lets go." collapsing on the floor as he held his chest. "Hus?.. oh hey hey hey." Fuego and ludo hurried over with (name) coming out of the shower. "It's okay.. I'm okay shhh shhhh shh" Hus slowly exhaling to try and stay calm. "Hey Hus come on man." Hus laid there clutching his chest, "we just going to bottle up everything aren't we?" Ludo nodded some, "Yeah.. we can't do anything about it.. it happened and we got to keep surviving.. remember you keep saying its an experience good or bad it happened.. but what we do after is what counts.. stand tall or let it knock you down." Hus interrupted and chuckled weezingly, "Even if you get knocked down, you can always get back up." coughing some and began to chuckle a bit slowly getting up to his feet with the others help. "Come on.. rest you deserve it." Fuego said as Hus laughed softly, "Uh oh got mister muscle worrying about me. hell no I'm not going to let you boys run wild without me.. I can still run with you" Fuego snickered, "We haven't run in ages old man.. we'd probably drop not even a mile haha." laughing some as Hus was being helped into the shower. "You need any help in their old man?" Fuego asked looking at the shower door. "No, thank you. I can still manage. and Thank you for your concern." Hus said while washing himself. Fuego walked away from the door and back in line. "Alright just checking." time went on before all the guys were cleaned and clothing were put on. Looking at the fridge, there was smell of bbq food being cooked coming from the outside. Holding his stomach a bit, before mixing in a small cup what he could find in the fridge stirring it up with a plastic spoon. Adding in a small bit of bbq sauce. "This will have to do for now." each of them had a cup of mix and a spoon. "I know its not much guys.. but its what we have.." Ludo stirring his a bit more as they all stared at their cup, before taking a bit out of it and slowly began eating. "Taste ok.. not the best tasting but we are doing our best." each of them raised their cup and continued eating slowly savoring the taste of each bite. Hus chuckled some. "Some of mine has chunky bits in it." chuckling as they all began to laugh. "Mine does too haha" Chewing and swallowing before shaking a bit getting warm and pumped up for the walk to work. "Alright everyone done? good here we go." Having changed into his work attire and headed out of the hotel room locking and closing the door behind him. Walking past the couple grilling on the balcony, "Hey!" Looking up and smiled. "Hey!" smiling with a wave. "Out all night and leaving so soon? Come on up here we have some some we're going to have a party all day today!" He smiled happily as he waved and nodded. "I would love to but w- I gotta go to work.. someone gotta make that money." They both seemed to awe. "Alright. Honey you come back soon okay? And we'll have some for you." He smiled and waved before jogging down the street. Talking to himself, "If I stay for food.. I won't have any money for rent.. or food. Thank you for the offer but.. I need money for rent." Everyone was whinning about the food slowing down and walking the rest of the way to work. Reaching into the back pocket, looking through the wallet, "I have enough for.." looking hard at the money which was only a few dollars and a couple of cents. ".. we got to get something that will last us through the day or at least.. until we get paid tonight/ tomorrow." (Name) said while looking at the wallet, "Food now or later? drinks now or later?" Everyone seemed to walk around him and continued onto work. "Yeah.. Later will work." (Name) said while walking to catch up with everyone else. it was silent the rest of the way. Arriving at laborer ready, walking inside and signed in at the front desk. There was a bit of a line around the front desk talking about the weather, and the work they were given yesterday. Staying out of the way and grabbing a cup and began pouring himself some coffee and poured in a bit of sugar. Placing the pot back hearing their name being called. It was the head boss a short, stocky middle aged pony with a mouth like a sailor and a humor of a farmer. "Hm? What's up?" He called out, "Got a job for yeah if you take it the others have vehicles and can drive you if you have gas money." A black and brown great dane turned around, looking down at him, "You keep up or get left behind got me?" Looking up at him and nodded, "I can keep up no prob here. Can you?" The great dane smirked, "Alright you can ride with me." We smiled softly as two more had been chosen to go along. The job was a moving a client from one place to another. "Moving job, huh? That's simple enough." Getting the address as everyone headed out. "Hey you can drive, right?" The great dane asked, while walking out to his car. "Drive? Well yeah I got my license. Why need me to drive?" The great dane thought for a moment, "You been in any wrecks?" He asked. as he shook his head. "Alright, show us you can drive this?" The great dane stopped at the passanger side of a car, looking at it almost nervous to get inside. "Drive this?" Asking while opening up the driverside door. "What you don't like it? or can't you drive?" Raising his brow some before slipping into the car looking at everything seemed so new and shinned like it was taken care of almost mint condition. "Oh well yeah I can drive, but You sure you want someone else driving such a fine ride?" Looking at the inside of the car, "Look I'll be real with you I kinda have a thing with my license so.. right now yes, don't fuck up my ride is all I'm saying." Shaking his head, "Oh hell no don't you worry haha I won't I may be rough wit the ladies but I'll be gentle with this one." The great dane burst out laughing holding out his paw, "Call me Dt." Reaching over and shaking his paw before fist bumping. "Alright, Dt call me Ludo" D raised a brow some and made a "psh." sound before handing over the keys. Taking the keys and put them in ignition starting up the car as it roared out the stereo blaring with heavy bass. Dt's hand reached over turning down the volume some, "You listen to rap?" Ludo shrugged his shoulders some, "Yeah some. But whatever has a good beat to it." Dt nodded turning it back up and buckled up as did Ludo. Driving casually out of the driveway and down the highway, Ludo looked over at Dt watching him out the corner of his eye. Noticing he was relaxing over at the door, before glancing at the dashboard before leaning back with a heavy sigh. "I thought you said you knew how to drive." Dt asked, "I don't want to ruin your ride, taking her nice and easy. but if you insist, that your in a hurry glad your buckled." His foot went to the floor and began weaving in and out of traffic leaning his head against his paw taking sharp turns and almost running red lights to get to their destination. Once they arrived at the job site the music was turned off and parked along the sidewalk. He sat up and unbuckled getting out of the car giving Dt back his keys. Dt coming out of his car almost in a rage, "That's how you fucking drive.. You got me, you drive like that shit. dam boy." Looking over at Dt and smiled softly, "I was just being gentle with her." Dt walked around the car with a big grin. "You into those nasty bitches huh? mm You find any you don't want send them my way." His tongue came out a bit with a large smirk across his face. "Ha, I don't think you want what I break." Dt's face light up, "OOoo you something dirty freaky aren't ya.."  Dt's tone came serious for a moment "After this job, I might need your help with some stuff if your interested." Walking with DT towards the house, "Oh yeah?.. Okay." Both of us reached the front door as we both noticed the moving truck. "I guess I'll be driving. where are the other two?" Ludo looked down at his watch. "Well we are here on time.. early by 5 minutes." Dt scoffed, Ludo reached over and began to knock on the door before the garage door began opening up. Both of us leaned over to look, It was a youthful (animal) male in a suit walking out from the garage. "Excuse me, were from Laborer ready.. you cal-" Ludo was interrupted by the (animal). "I have to leave for work, I believe they gave you the address where you will be dropping this truck off. You are getting paid by the hour, and I will not pay for your lunches you do that when the jobs done." The great dane eye twitched a bit as Ludo nodded, "Oh of course sir no need to worry everything will arrive safely you have my word." Standing up straight with a soft smile. The (animal) somewhat smiled but quickly walked away to their car and drove off with the garage wide open. Ludo looked out at the neighborhood, "I guess we'll be doing it ourselves if the other guys don't get here.." Dt grumbled cursing about the way () was talking to us, "Yeah but we won't see him after this job so... why don't we just do this quickly." Dt scoffed and opened up the back of the truck. Ludo grabbed the loading ramps down, "You able to do that yourself?" Ludo looked up at Dt at the back of the truck and laughed. "I got this!" Pulling the ramps out and placing them onto the back of the truck. "Boom see done." Dt shook his head, "Boy you work too hard." Ludo laughed some as they began loading up the truck. Taking everything labeled Dt limped his way to his car grabbing his back brace and placing it on himself. Panting from the heat, "Woo.. boy it's hot." Ludo was carrying items into the back of the truck glancing over at Dt making sure he was alright. "You doing alright over there?" Dt wiping his forehead with a cloth, "Yeah just taking a break.. come on and take a break it's too hot to work without a break." Ludo placed a box down and sat down in the back of the truck wiping his forehead a bit. "Yeah I know.." talking to himself, "Yeah but were almost done." Ludo got back up and walked back into the garage continued to put things in the back of  the truck. "Fuck.. it hot's boy.." Dt took a drink of some water before getting back up and helped with grabbing the large dresser and placing it into the back of the truck finishing the load. Dt, Ludo both push in a ramp and closed the door locking it with the lock they were given to use. "Alright, Ludo meet you there." Ludo nodded to Dt, "Yeah see ya there.. I'll be folllowing you so." Dt shook his head, "Nah I'm get me something to eat real quick do the same Ludo?" Ludo nodded  "Of course hah getting hungry myself." Dt gestured to the truck, "You sure you know how to drive something like this?" Ludo blinked and laughed, "I got this no worries." Dt then nodded, before heading to his car giving a wave before taking off in his car. Taking a deep breath as Ludo climbed into the large truck. "Well.. the dude that had a license for you isn't here.. sooo I'mma have to drive ya." Looking at all the dials and buttons, ".. what the fuck is all this shit?!" Fuego yelled out each of them stared at the buttons and gauges. "Alright well its a automatic so.. we don't have to shift." a heavy sigh came out turning the key and listened to the engine. "Well we got a job to do so lets just go.." Slowly crawling out of the driveway and began driving it slow up hills and down them. "It's.. alright we got this.. just go slow and steady wins the race.." Glancing down as a paw moved around touching the sides of the chair finding buttons and pushing them one by one. "Alright that does that that does that.. okay." Looking at the dashboard and then put the seat in a more comfortable position. Looking out at all the vehicles on the road. "Wow.. this is so cool." Each eye was darting over everything before noticing a small string above the driver seat. "Is that what I think it is..." Everyones eyes began to glow. "A truck horn.." Watching through the windshield keeping a eye on the road and when to turn. "Must resist.. we can't pull it.. can we?" Everyone stayed silent for a moment before everyone began fighting over who was going to pull the string. Everyone was wrestling around each other and pushing each other out of the way to get to the string. A paw came up and grabbed the string and felt how harsh it felt, but held into it gently and tugged on it. There was silence in the air as everyone froze, out came a loud horn rippling the air in waves. Everyone went back to their seats and smiled softly, "Heh.. one more time." Waiting for a while before tugging on it again as it let out a horn. The car beside weaved a bit in its lane, as Fuego looked down at the car. It had a male tiger female jaguar and a child which had stripes and spots, the car had sped up and turned into their lane. Fuegos eyes went wide, as he sat in the drivers seat. Arms came out of the window giving a fist pumping motion looking closer the child crawled into the back window staring as if they were told something was going to happen. Fuego grew a big smile and pulled on the string, the surprise upon the child's face as the two others seemed to smile and laugh at whatever the child had said as it scurried around the back of the car. Laughing softly having both hands on the wheel, "Ha... I guess we just made that kids day." Fuego smiled happily, "Maybe we made all them happy.. they seem to be anyway." Hus said while sitting next to the other door. They all smiled, but Ludo jumped up some and pointed. "LOO-OK!" Fuego narrowed his eyes noticing the car had moved over so they were next to him. The male tiger was fist pumping with the child on their lap frantically doing the same. Fuego stared for a moment and nodded reaching up noticing the male talking to the child and pointing at the string. Tugging on it a few times as the jaw dropped on the child and a large smile grew on them. The male began laughing with a large smile on their face before driving away, Fuego sat there with a large smile standing up a bit straighter and flexing a bit. "This is so cool.." They all smiled driving happily, "We could do this.. ya know.. truck driving.." Fuego said holding onto the wheel, "Hauling stuff unloading and loading.. we'd always have a place to sleep." Hus and Ludo (name) shook their heads, "That costs money to go to one of their schools to learn to drive." (Name) said before smiling, "But maybe we can afford to someday. Maybe we can drive around the world one day.." (Name) looked out the window and leaned his head back on the cushion of the seat. "We can't drive over oceans yet." Hus chuckled some, "Maybe but one day lets travel around the world and drive everywhere." (Name) said while resting in his seat.

when?

Coughing tring to breath sweat and blood slowly dripping from the temples of his head. Vision blurred before slowly standing back up limbs shredded and scared. 

"And what have we learned?" A voice called out nearby.

"But.. What if there is a cha-" a sharp pain smashed into his side tossing him back like a ragdoll. 

The figure stomping calmly towards his ragdoll body laying on the ground twitching in pain his eyes filled with tears. "But.. I." 

His stomach and chest being kicked repeatedly bones snapping like twigs. His mouth jarred open in a unaudioable cry of pain. 

"There is no but! Time and time again.. this is the end I am putting a stop to it now!" The figure growled in fury, the body before the figure weakened and frail laying upon the ground. His eyes opened up slowly looking up at the figure the feeling of his body was nothing but pain. 'Why is it so bad?.. We've been good doing good things trying to be the good guy the nice guy. Why? Why does it always turn up like this?' 

His body felt as if it were nothing more than dirt. If he closed his eyes he wondered would he stay here or if perhaps he'll finally leave this existence. Vision faded as his eyes close. His body jolting side to side as body parts were being mangled and broken.

A faint voice could be heard in his head, "get up"

"No more please... I can't move let me let go please."

"Get up!" More voices began calling out to him getting louder and louder each voice was different. "GET UP!"

"I CANT MOVE I CANT FEEL ANYTHING I CANT DO IT!" He yelled out in his head to the voices. "GET UP! GET UP!" the voices became louder and more unruly. 

His finger twitched as it slowly pushed a piece of dirt. His body torn and battered his eyes tearing out blood. The beatings had stopped for the moment.  There was no sound other than the voices calling out to him. Every so often his body jolted and twitched. His hand gripping the ground and began pulling, pushing him up to his feet. Standing up as his body wanted to collapse upon the ground one last time. "Why.." he stood there for a moment shaking and beaten. 

"Wanting another round huh? Fine by me what a pathetic little worm you are. Disappointing and disgusting." The figure slamming his body down upon the ground before tossing it as if he was nothing into the forest. Falling down and colliding with each tree it felt like shattering his body even more. The figure uprooted trees boulders and anything else around only to use it to beat him. Tossing what was left of each item. The figure scoffed, "What a waste of effort.. Go crawl back to where you belong."

The figure kicked the ground as a hole appeared nearby the figure used a stick and pushed him into the hole surrounded by darkness as his body collapsed upon the bottom of the hole. The figure looked down scoffing once more, "worm.." the hole filling up leaving him at the bottom. "I'm sorry." Was the last thing that was heard although it did not pass his lips but only thought of it.The figure left walking away annoyed and disgusted wiping off their hands with a rag.

Laying barely able to keep his thoughts together "Where did I go?.. What am I doing?. find them.. where did everyone go? what day is it? is it night? why is a can of tuna canned? The hole above closed as he was surrounded by darkness, "Did I do wrong again? Is this punishment for existing?" a single tear began to stream from his eyes. "I always do wrong? even when I am doing good. Doing the right thing is what we're suppose to do." Laying there feeling broken from head to toe, "I'm a disappointment, I'm sorry everyone.. I'm not a hero. I never was, no matter how hard I tried. I don't want to be the bad guy, the villain... Nobody likes the villain we never get the girl.. our plans of a better life always ruined. Peace will never be for us." In his head a video played showing different breath taking views from different points in time and places. "Beauty isn't for us.." Lastly a hole with him inside and what was around him. "I guess this is where I am huh?" Staring at himself through his mind, "We are a sad excuse for a man, we can't fight back. Why? why can't we fight back? I don't understand." He shook in rage with himself, the pain growing as he shook. "A.. aaahh ow ow.. why why can't we fight back? we don't want to hurt anyone, its the only thing we know how to do is hurt someone, but we don't... why?" Clenching his fist and smacked it down against the floor, only to spin around as his eyes opened up quickly. He spun around laying on nothing but floating in the space of nothing looking around at the darkness. "....I think I'mma be sick.. how do I stop?" He mumbled with swollen face and mouth. Took a breath and used his other hand to try and smack it down to try and go the other way or slow down. His body jolted as he opened his mouth wide as it popped his back, "Ah.. a..aa." Gasping some in pain with a soft whimper, "Rage.. angry.. mad.. we need to get mad.. how.. can we get mad?" He slowly reached his arms out balancing some making the spinning slow down.
"We need any drink?" He asked himself glad to not be on the ground, as it helped his body being levitating in the nothingness. "This is nice, its dark but the pain seems to be going away finally." If he could smile he would as he continued floating in the nothing. "No more pain?" He asked himself feeling like he could think straight finally. "Are we dead?"

"No, just floating around in the abyss."
"Oh.. Okay" there was silence for a moment before his head slowly turned opening up his eyes. "Wait.. Who?" A long eared creature with silver eyes, and dark colored fur with teal and neon green spots randomly on their body. Wearing a jade kilt with two straps around its waist and arms, stood there over him rotating around him as he was still slowly spinning around in a circle. "You're a hard one to find I hope you know that. But don't worry I'm here now, names Rei you look like shit by the way and no your not dead." Staring at Rei, "... I was hoping." "Yeah, but your very much alive right now.. Alright, so hold still and lets see what I can do." Rei lifted up a paw placing the palm on his chest lightly as they both stopped upside down. "Alright, you're stopped. Now, I can look at you better." Rei chuckled while examining the body. "Yup, your kind of hurt. Did you know that?" Rei nodded walking around him.

"Oh, thank goodness.. I thought. I was just having one of those man-o-paws moments." Rei narrowed his eyes staring at him for a moment before smirking, "Ooooha-h, someone's got the jokes." Floating in the air unable to move, "Ha, of course. If I'm going to die.. I'm going to die with a smile no-matter, how I go." Rei raised his brow some, "Well, I like ya, so let's get you up to fluff." Holding out his paw on his chest it was cold for a moment. "A..ah.. I see how it is, make me cold and then going to give me that heat huh?" Coughing some, as his body tensed up shaking. "Oh, I'll be giving you all that hotness. Your jokes are getting a little lame.. could be from the pain or.. your just a one trick pony." Rei chuckled slightly as the coldness grew throughout his body. "Ooo.. Ooo If I get any colder I'm going to be rock hard for you big boy." Rei burst out laughing, "Ha, Oh baby keep talking dirty to me." His eyes started to close, with his body getting colder and colder. The color was slowly leaving his body. Rei shook him some with his paw on his chest. "Hey.. it hasn't even been eight second yet.. come o-" Rei words sounded funny muffled as silence started to fill his ears. 'Oh.. Hey.. I guess. I am going to die huh?' A moment went as his eyes were closed. 'All the pain, is gone.' His fingertips twitched slightly 'I don't understand..'

"Sorry.. I'll die better next time." Rei narrowed his eyes at him once more standing over him, "There is none of that." Staring at Rei, "No?" Rei shook his head folding his ears slightly. "Nope, so come on." Rei turned walking down to the floor "Is it cause I'm weak?" Rei stood, back up on the ground. Dusting himself off, "Weak? who? You? ha.. how are you we-" "I KEEP DYING!.. I keep dying every time no matter what I do it's never good enough. I always die! I haven't felt my heart beat in years unless I'm having a heart attack or... or when a heart murmur happens!" Rei was silent for a moment thinking of what to say. Not expecting what was being said, "Heart murmur? Heart attack?" Rei asked confused. His body started to moved around slightly coughing, shaking taking a step forward slowly walking in the air. "Yes, from what I have been told a heart attack is when the heart tries to stop. A heart murmur is when the heart goes out of sync of its beats and both can and will stop fully.. Then you die!" Rei followed beside neither were actually going any where. "You're body is attacking itself? You have been dying?"

Rei watched him moving around, "How? How can you say your weak when you've come back from the dead multiple times! That sounds li-" His arm lifted up covering Rei's mouth. "You're Rei right?" Rei blinked a bit surprised but nodded. "Okay, you seem very nice but you can leave.. I don't want to be a burden you any longer." "but I just found you? How could I just leave now?" "Easy, everyone else does. But if you want to continue being around then" Walking down onto the ground heading into the foggy abyss, Rei followed behind quickly. "Hey you don't just get to walk away from me.. How are you doing this?!" Rei stared in awe watching the body jolt around slowly getting the hang of how to walk again.

Am I?

 Heart: Oh, wow this one is amazing! So sweet and kind..

Brain: No they are all sweet and kind at first we been through this.

Heart: But.. this one could be different.

Brain: They will all be different, but the outcome is always the same.

Heart: Yeah I know, but can't we try?

Brain: No! Not now.. maybe later but now we need to focus on healing for the both of us...

*Brain replacing the bandages around the heart gently and carefully. Looking at heart with saddness in the eyes.*

Heart: Hey.. don't look at me like that, I don't look that bad. You should worry about yourself.. You look like shit.

*Heart some of its parts were missing, laying in a bed in roughed up shape. Brain chuckled some having a few cuts and bruises with a few bandages.*

Brain: Yeah, well we both have our own battles we fight.. One day I'll win mine, and that will be the day you will be able to win yours too.

Heart: Really? You think I could win, get better?

Brain: Yes I do, we will win one day and both of us will get better.

Heart tried sitting up, but brain gently pushed them back down.

Brain: No.. No don't, just lay down rest.. I'll take over for a while just rest. It's your turn to rest now and get better.

Heart: But, but I need to show them all that I care I love them all!

Brain: STOP DON'T! Rest please rest.. You need to rest!

*Heart struggled for a while before laying down passing out. Brain watched over the heart tearing up a bit.*

Brain: That's right.. Rest, I'll do my best to let them know, how amazing you are.. We just need to be more careful, I-i just don't know how much longer you will last..

*Tears falling on the ground as Brain stood near the bed, before slowly walking away to let the heart sleep. Brain soon at the controls of the heart and shook with a hesitant hand.*

Brain: I.. I can do this, for both of us..

*Holding onto the controls, as Brain continued on becoming injured and hurt. As time went on, Heart laid there sleeping, while Brain and other parts of the body began to help. Brain kept their post at the controls only allowing the others to have a small part. Once they began hurting as well Brain took over for them and let them rest.*

Brain: We have to keep going..

Brain:

Distance of bubbles

Looking through the glass bubble around himself watching those walking around. Everyone could see the bubble, as it reflected their own bodies and movements. Sitting there inside the bubble a few would come up and stare at themselves in the reflection. He smiled softly his face turned red of embarrassment lifting his hand up giving a slow wave. Soon as they got near, something would happen and they'd walk away rejoining others.

Day's and time goes by as he watched them all from a distance, at night when they were all gone. He sat alone looking up at the sky seeing the millions of lights in the dark. As time goes by his eyes would close sleeping inside his bubble, only to open them when he felt the light of the sun against his face. Standing up inside the bubble stretching and walking around in circles to keep himself moving.

His eyes looking up following those that had routines in the morning. Soon he seen a small child was sitting near his bubble, his focus when to them. Their back was to him looking like they were fiddling with something, leaning his head over trying to see but the bubble stopped his movement to see only getting a glimpse of something in their hand. He was curious but soon sat down watching the little child later the child placed the object down and ran off after they were called to join their parents.

 He watched the child then the object they had, it was a small device of some kind. He tilted his head wondering what it was, but his attention would go back to the others watching them in their day. It had been years, watching them all from a distance his need or want to join them was close to nonexistent anymore.

Some days the closest one of them would come to him would be to sit nearby only inches away even fewer actually reached out touching the bubble. His hand would met theirs as if to say 'i'm here' The touch only lasted moments before they would leave. His hand still feeling the hand on the other side before it drifted away. Each time it happened tears ran down his face before backing up into the center of the bubble feeling his fingers that touched the bubble.

One night as the streets were clear nobody could be seen or heard for miles. He stood in the middle of the bubble tears falling with rage throwing his body against the bubble pushing. Throwing his fists about trying to break free, Nothing seemed to work as the hour was floating by but what he didn't notice was the bubble was moving with each slam of his fist.

Panting as he yelled out a cry, jumping up and slamming his fist down into the bubble. It moved and began tumbling him around as the bubble rolled down the hill, and into the street. He cried as he could felt each landing of the bubble against the cold cement and object that crashed into the bubble as it rolled. Tumbling and rolling him around like a pinball down the street's grade.

He cried out for help but all could be heard was the roar of the bubble ball rampaging down the street smacking into vehicle's, pole's. It felt like eternity before the bubble was stopped laying upon the ground. Touching his body that was sore and beaten, slowly lifting his head he could see the sun rising in the horizon a sight he normally wasn't awake for. He stayed there watching the sun rise tears rolling down his face.

The sun looked so far away, but it was the same day after day. Laying there in tears, he soon seen something he hadn't before. Another but this one was in the sun crying in tears. Slowly shifting around so he was onto his feet standing there limping to one side. He began yelling as loud as he could waving his arms about, but it wasn't enough.

The other was still crying, a tear soaked smile creeped up onto his face as he flailed his arms about yelling as loud as he could. Someone like him he thought they would know his pain if only he could get them to notice him somehow some way.

The other soon laid down curling up in a ball, yelling out as loud as he could as much as he could but nothing seemed to work. Tears slowly rolling down his face again his pain coming back of not being noticed or heard from anyone.

But now he had someone else that knew the pain, he suffered another that he only wanted to be seen. As he moved around the ball began moving around shaking him from where he stopped. He fell to the side as the ball moved to the side as well and then back to where he was slightly stuck to. 

"He.."

 "Heh" Looking up at the sun then back down at the ball kicking himself up into the air and kicking the side of the ball as it rolled he stumbled almost tripping. He bite his tongue like a hamster in a wheel, he ran as fast as he could and soon after the ball was out of the place he was stuck. Rolling down street after street glancing up at the sun still trying to get their attention.

"HEY!!" He yelled out no more tears no more crying he told himself using his body to move this barrier this prison.

Waving his arms about trying to get their attention. He wasn't familiar with anything around him but it seemed his bubble or prison was only making people run away from it. Soon blocks from police began being made to block him in to try and stop it. 

"Noo I need to get out I need to move.. " he yelled coming to a street with a large barrier built up as he frowned crashing into the barrier and finally stopped he fell to the ground hitting the bottom of it 

"Nooo..."

"I.."

"I was so close..." he cried looking up at the sun seeing the one in the sun was watching him looking right at him. He jumped up quickly to his feet and waved frantically. Looking surprised she lifted her hand up slowly giving a wave herself back to him as they both smiled.

Cranes came to the large sphere hauling it back to it's place. The humans trying to figure out how it got free then began making changes, putting the sphere back in place with more restrains in place. Sitting at the bottom of the sphere looking up at the girl in the sun with a smile. He rubbed the back of his head he was a bit beat up from the tumble and event that just took place. 

Looking up at her as she looked at him, "Hi!" he said excitedly but she didn't say anything. Sitting in silence as both seemed to try and speak to be heard but neither could hear the other.

Days would go by both would seem to try to communicate with each other making existing feel like an adventure than a tragedy. Night's were just as fun having found the man in the moon communicating with him as well it was enjoyable and fun. 

Sometimes the sun and moon were together in the day time although when they were together. He was a bit out of place as their attentions were to each other talking laughing throughout the day. Watching as he was getting jealous of the two, they could talk laugh joke. He was only there to watch.

All around him were humans at arms length sometimes passing him by not even paying any attention to his existence. The days seemed to go by quicker now as the sun and moon continued talking laughing joking around.

 Sitting there watching them both wondering what their voices sounded like, what they talk about. That night he stood up and went back to doing what he would usually do before finding the sun and moon. Jogging in place and stretching out some in his own bubble. Looking over at the trees as they bend and sway in the wind.

Blinking some as he thought he seen something for a moment as he leaned over to the edge of the sphere trying to see what it was. "What was that?" He said aloud wondering if he was seeing things. Looking at the sphere he was in. 

"I don't want to go rolling again."

"That hurt ha." Looking around for a moment as his thoughts went deeper soon falling asleep. His body tossing and turning he was used to the loud noises of the city not noticing that his sphere was being moved.

A crane in the daylight was moving him out of the spot he was in then placed onto the back of a truck. "Hmm?" 

"Whats."

"Going on?" He yawned waking up to the rumbling of his sphere. As he opened his eyes everything was moving.

"AH! WHAT?! I'M ROLLING!! I DIDN'T DO IT THIS TIME I SWEAR!" The sphere came to a stop, as he looked round seeing that the sphere was strapped onto a flatbed truck and was being moved to a different location. 

"What.."

"whats going on here? Where am I going?" 

The truck continued out of the city, "Where am I going?" He kept asking coming out of the city, seeing the trees and mountains that were far from the city.

"What is this place?" He asked in awe, at the beauty of the view he was being given by the truck. Standing up as the sphere edge and placed his face against it wanting to see everything he could. 

"Wow" He was in shock of the amazing things, objects. Laughing while having his face glued to the side of the sphere. 

The different kinds of birds that flew by, "Whoa! hey! You're a huge pigeon! ha ha! Your a funny looking pigeon!" Looking at all the different kinds of birds, then other animals at night when the truck stopped for the night.

"Hey little guys."

"Shh quiet good night to you hey do you know where I am?" He asked but didn't usually get an answer from any of the animals.

"Okay thanks for your help.." He said as the animals wondered away. 

"Wow just wow."

"This is so cool!" it was quiet as he could hear himself and all the little noises. "HELLO!!!" If he yelled out loud he heard his own echo, having read about it when people would read around him. He had learned about so many things how to read and spell when schools had their classes outside.

Laughing and enjoying this time he had it was amazing looking up at the moon as he tried speaking with him. Although it didn't seem like he wanted to talk the man in the moon has his back turned to him. 

"Oh.. okay well don't worry about it. I'll see you later okay? I'm getting tired so I'm going to take a quick nap." Waking up in the morning to the truck driving on the road again, "Heh.. wow this is awesome.. I wonder if this is what my life is going to be like now? Seeing new things." He said to himself looking up at the sun waving at her.

She wasn't looking over towards him, "she probably can't see me i'm not.." Jumping up to his feet waving around. "I'm here!!! Hey i'm here!! OVER HERE!" Jumping and waving, but to no avail not even a side glance.

"No.. i'm.. i'm over here.. see me notice me.. please?" Sitting back down slowly as he lifted his knees up to his chest holding them to him. "I'm alone again.. she can't see me.. hear me neither of them can."

Staying seated watching the scenery move as he slowly laid down. It was useless to resist there was nothing he could do now. Staring at the scenery he would smile some his views of what he could see was amazing. Everything was so new and he was enjoying it even though he was by himself.

"New place.. wherever I'm going.. new me. I have to keep it up and go on. I'm alone again but come on we've always been alone right?" Talking to himself looking at the reflection in the passing car windows. There was a huge boulder that had details and textures all around it from what he could see.

Big bad tiger

My little red where are you?
You don't come around anymore. Has your grandma pass, so you find no reason to wonder? Have you found no interest in these old woods?
Do the light's in the city shine too bright for you to see?
Come to my woods with me ill be here to show you around.
I've waited for someone like you to come though. All these other's were only for show and now their gone.
Alone I wonder my paths time and time again. Your voice only echoes in my mind now did you ever come through or was that my mind witching it were true.
Im not the big bad wolf in your story's you've heard. Im far worse far more dangerous and far less innocent. But we know better than that now don't we?
My riding hood where have you gone? One day we will meet maybe we have but were both too blind to see. You need me i know you do.

Cause I need you too

Road's less traveled

A crayon zoom's along a white piece of paper mixing and colliding with other color's. Sitting at the coffee table along with the rest of his color's. In his own little world not minding that voice's from outside his head were yelling screaming at all angle's. A bright smile upon his face as he stood up with his drawing in hand and ran excitedly towards the voice's. "LOOK!! I DID!" Was all he heard before everything went black, years later drawing with pencil's and markers. In school as classmate's were drawing, coloring, talking among themselves. He sat there bouncing up and down excited and happy as the teacher called out to the student's that art time was done and to show what they did.

He was excited to see so many other kid's along with him waiting his turn while bouncing some in his seat he couldn't wait to show off what he could do. One by one classmate's went up to the front, showing their drawing's. One by one each of their drawings got better, better and better he was in a classroom filled with so much talent. Looking at his picture 'what was it again I drew? I don't remember.. their so much better than me..' His name was called as he rushed up with a large smile upon his face and took a deep breath yelling out and showing his drawing being so proud and happy with his work. There was silence for a moment before darkness took hold showing him year later.

Walking into the doctor's office with his parent's sitting down it was a check up. Looking around the office was so bright and everything was so huge. Walking into the room he could hear whispers and talking among the adult's, his own ear's picking up his name and a few word's but nothing made sense. Soon he was handed a pill, looking at it then looking at his parents which gestured for him to take it. He hesitated for a moment before taking the pill then a fog came over him swallowing the pill and without hour's the sound's of his parents were like a dream. Each morning, noon, night more, more pill's almost different each time his head went from foggy to darkness.

Fighting though school fighting his classmate's wanting to fit in be their friend, even a pretend spouse. He just wanted to belong, even when he got excited bouncing around and yelling out. He was hyper he had ADHD, ADD he was a child. The medicine had taken hold of him now, staring off into space forgetting the day's only remembering random part's of things. The pill's will help you focus, concentrate make it so your not hyper so you will be like the other kid's and behave. Looking around all the other kid's didn't have to take pill's they were normal and were allowed to be just that. They ran, played, broke the rule's but if he did it then he was being wrong and rude, a bad kid.

'Why don't you grow up?' 'stop being a bad kid' 'stop being you' Phase's and more he heard through growing up year's past still in school. It was a rare thing for him to have a friend and there he was on the bus standing over his 'friend' crying out being stuffed in between the seat's unable to move. Looking around as he heard the bus driver yell out, quickly pulling up his 'friend' from in between the seat's scared and silent darkness was his 'friend' now. Day's were a blur and night's were just the same eighteen year's of being nothing but a bad kid pill after pill of new drug's to 'help' him fit in and be normal.

Looking around being an adult now year's of school behind him, those pill's behind him. It didn't matter anymore, the pill's were not there anymore. It was now just him even that had no effect on people around him. He was still an outcast, nowhere to really call his own. Through this time he had managed to meet many other exciting and talented people, each had their own talent and ability. He stopped drawing stop writing stopped anything and everything that brought him even the slightest bit of joy or excitement. It had been so long and his body and mind had been through so much, happiness was a fairy tale. Something that brought him joy and he showed it was quickly kick or pulled away so his suffering would continue.

He had found those he thought he would spend his whole life with that maybe he would finally reach happiness and be joyful. As all good things they must pass, which each time his heart would beat it would crumble and shatter for the next to do the same. "Why do you do this to yourself? When you know that no mater what you're going to get hurt... If you know your being taken advantage of why do you let them?" "Because for that small time before I am... happy nothing but them can end it for me.. and when they do.. I can't help but forgive them and help them no matter what." "But your suffering from their gain" "Yeah...isn't that what love is.. if you love someone aren't you suppose to put yourself through hell so you can be with them? So you can show them that you love them no matter what?" "..." "... cause.. that's how I love no matter how much they hurt me or abuse me I love them cause maybe they will see that and not hurt me anymore.." "Your pathetic ... you're going to get yourself killed" "yeah... probably.." Looking at himself in the mirror, talking with himself as he went off to work.

Telling himself, "Maybe one day things will change... they will change" Shaking his head knowing better than to have false hope about people changing. It seemed his whole life other's always had to keep him down, helping out those he called friends was not something that kept him down as often. Each of his friend's usually had a problem he would put on his shoulders so they would be happy he didn't want those he cared about to suffer from sadness and sorrow. Those that made it their personal mission to keep even a glimmer of happiness were the ones he had to watch out for. Even if he knew what they were doing he would walk right into it so they could be happy. If his body would be striped from all the times he would be put down for showing or having a little bit of happiness or excitement his whole body would be riddled with them all over.

Sitting at his desk of his job in his cubical working day and night just to make enough to survive in a world that was only against him. He hadn't met anyone that had not hurt him in some form and way. moving a button of the chest of his shirt and pulled out his heart looking at it in his hand. The scar's and shattered pieces leaking out onto his desk wrapping up what he could with some tape before pushing it back into his chest. "Come on.. Last just a little longer.." he said to heart he had been told to go find someone to fix it, but every time he thought he might have found someone to help fix it. It only got torn open more and pieces would fall. leaning against the wall of his cubical as the wall moved suddenly as someone new had pushed against the wall some. Sitting up as he heard his name being called out, turning around it was one of the bosses. "Good evening! Mr. please would you assist one of our new crew member to our happy family!" His boss asked as he stood up and nodded, "Yes sir.." "This is Miss." Looking next to his cubical seeing a beautiful women her eyes shined with a cheerful and happy exterior.

Deep into her eyes he could see a scared person running around trying to make sure everything on her first day went smoothly. He offered his hand with a soft smile closing his eyes, "Welcome to the family" he extended a welcoming hand. Her eyes light up and took his hand softly. "Oh thank you! Yes I'm happy to be here! uh.. Mr.?" "Now be good to our new family member" the boss chimed in before leaving the two by themselves. He looked and waited until the boss was gone glancing at her more. "You can calm down now.. He's gone now let's get you set up." He said sitting back in his chair, he would glance at her. He had already liked the look she had in her eye's, plus the color was exotic to look at. Thinking about it he liked the sound of her voice also even if was very cheery and a bit shaky from how nervous she was.

Through out the day, week he would teach her about what she was suppose to do only with the boss checking in every few day's or so. He liked her intelligence which made him smile and feel a bit of happiness being around her. It was a month after she arrived he began noticing the sign's of a promising mate in her. He would note her body she was plump her clothing did her body justice, maybe just maybe this was the one.

Unknown drough

Life is a puddle of mud, things happen either at the surface or in the deep. The sickness thrives through ones head and into their heart. The spikes of roses roll down their veins scratching along down until there is no more blood to bleed. What happens to you when you die is what happens when you live. Nothing changes the only thing that happens is your heart stops beating and you can't feel the pain that you've carried along the way with a smile. Cause nothing can break you only your own beasts make it so your blood runs more than you can give. Cause that's what you are born to do give until it hurts then when you filter through the pain you give even still no matter the cost. Things happen that's what we tell ourselves forgetting that we are no better than those we protect and give there is no middle ground only caskets with holes to drain out what's left to give even in death.

The Collar

Waking from a night of tricks and treats, stomach grumbling from all the sugar not enough nutrient's. My eyes glazed blurry, slowly I turn in bed finding his arm coiling it around me like a protective shield. It was warm and enticing how it felt against my body enchanting. Smiling happily to myself as my ear is now against the side of his chest. The air leaving and entering his lungs along with his heart beat was like a symphony of lullabies. Feeling my eyes become heavy as i'm protected even from the worse of nightmares. His heart beat leading the band in stride, only a few times would it sound off beat. Wrapping my arms around his arm, to the side of his body so much love flowing off of his body like a waterfall I drown in happily.

I can't rest not now the day like is creeping up in through the window. I feel it's persistent sting of the day hours coming. Opening my eyes once more seeing his body at peace dreaming sleeping. I can't help but stare so much I want to say to him, so much I wish to be for him. My eyes water with joy, before wiping them with the corner of the blanket he had wrapped us in for the night. Slowly shimmying down the bed not wanting to wake him, knowing the rough day's and nights that will come. Sitting on the floor as I cover my mouth with a yawn of exhaustion wanting to go back to sleep. Rubbing my eyes pushing away the eye gunk adjusting my eyes to the light in the room. Reaching over and closing the shades more so he wouldn't be disturbed from the light. Stretching out my body as I stand feeling my body screaming for more rest, but I must resist.

Seeing the nightstand next to the bed, seeing a collar. It laid there untouched or moved in so long. It was not my collar, but I wish it to be someday the strap was adjustable the texture of it was smooth like silk for a collar. There was one piece of jewelry on it and it was the danglie. A red jewel in the shape of a heart with a dark outline around it with small spikes. I have awoke to stare at this collar a few times when the light would shine in and reflect off the heart. It was shinning all the love and warmth that was sealed inside such a jewel. My eyes would tear wanting to feel that around my neck to know that all the love and warmth was with me all the time forever, ever. Today was a good day though, and hopefully today would be the day he'd put it on me.

Walking out of the bedroom only wearing my panties that hugged my curves. Still a bit groggy, but there are things to be done and hopefully before he wakes. Going to the bathroom was my first stop, before washing up heading into the kitchen. My stomach growling now from hunger, from all the delicious treats that I consumed the night of Halloween. That was our holiday, Valentines is great, Thanksgiving is okay, Christmas is gloomy but Halloween is where we can act like a goof and devious then get candy! I'm all in for it, but this morning was a much needed nutrient's and food that will help our bodies recover from candy coma's. My thoughts were on food, but mainly on the collar there have been day's I have fantasied about wearing it when. He is at work and walking around the house cleaning, looking at myself in the mirror talking to my self saying things like, "Oh? this old thing, oh well yes... doesn't it look beautiful... oh no no my man got me this.." then laugh at myself in the mirror and say, "bitch this is mine he is mine so you can never be this fabulous" I laugh at myself while cooking.

I jump and scream when two arms wrap around my waist, but my heart melts when I hear in my ear. "Well.. hello there milady." His voice soothing speaking in one of the accent's he does. I stumble over my words, "oh.. moo.. melo... morning" I feel a tender kiss upon my neck as his facial hair tickled my skin, but his lips lightly touching my neck. Made a shiver go up my spine as goosebumps were forming from his touch. "My little moo moo is up early." Blushing as he called me that, he would always find little names to just make the day seem like a fairy tale. Today was little moo moo apparently, without thinking I opened my mouth, "m-mooo" I let out softly and embarrassed.

His arms let my body slowly feeling along my belly then to my sides. I leaned into his touch while cooking almost forgetting I was. Before feeling a nudge from his pelvis against my panties. "You're going to burn it... pay attention" He said before looking back at the food and jumped slightly going back to cooking with a squeak. Oh he was so mean sometimes, as he left me at the stove letting me cook. Glancing over at him, he was naked seeing him walking away as I grin. "morning sexy butt" I called out to him as he turned around covering his butt. "good morning... I meant pay attention to cooking.. not my booty" I couldn't help but giggle as the food was being cooked.

Thought of him would continue, as we ate finally dressed in some clothing relaxing in the living room. My day would go from the best ever to the worst. Looking at him as I tear up, "please don't go.." I held onto his arm leaning against him. "I have to.. got to work ya know?" He said nodding my head I knew he had to work, but it would be so long before he would be home again. He would leave home and go to work, but he wouldn't be home in three months or more. We get to talk to each other everyday by phone and if he can make it happen over the internet on a program like skype. The day's he would be home seemed to go by so fast, but slow at the same time. Holding onto his arm as he held onto me with his other arm. It was his last day home each time it was the same. We would hold each other like we wouldn't let go I once asked him for a collar.

I have that now but it isn't the collar I want to have that lays dormant in our room. I have stuffed animals that I line my bed with each one from him every time he would come home with another. Each one smelled like him as I pretend that I was the stuffed animal when it was with him. Watching over him as he slept and seeing him work from the comfort of his bed. Listening in on our conversations on the phone while he worked. Listening to him yelling at cars that cut him off, or were being stupid. He works hard, each and everyday for me for him for everything and everyone. Touching my collar I have as I held onto his arm then letting go of his arm and wrapping my arms around his waist keeping him close. "I love you" I say muffled from my face being against his stomach, "I love you too" He replied time I want to stand still just to have one more hug.

When he left for work, I cried in bed piling on the stuffies all over me. "I want you back!" I scream out it was hard to say good bye. My arms wrapped around the first stuffie he gave me it was huge as I could wrap its arms around me and curl up in a ball under it. I would use this stuffy to dress up having his shirts and underwear that would mysteriously dissappear when he would do laundry. He knew I liked his scent but it was something that stuck around for days to make the days he worked a bit easier to go through. I can see the collar on the nightstand, remembering first time I seen it. I put it on and had it on while in front of him I had never seen him so angry, and hurt. I was punished for it that day, when it was all over he held me in his arms. He told me what that collar meant to him, and everything that it would entitle. I didn't know how much a object could mean so much to someone.

Reaching out from under the avalanche of stuffies the tip of my finger touched the heart shaped jewel as my finger could feel the spikes all around the heart. "I will wait for you" I said sending my love to him hoping he could feel it through the heart.

Minds of Briem

Sitting down in his chair the lights off, as the buzzing of the day's noises rang in his head. Humming a song while tapping my foot upon the ground. Opening my mouth only for a second letting out a soft sigh as a soft knock tapped upon the door. Stopping his motion, turned his head to the door. "Yes? " He stated in a fog of deep thoughts. A soft voice came from the other side of the door. "Sir.. May I come in?" Closing his eyes back again leaning back against the cushion of his chair. "Come in.."  Announcing while adjusting himself to get better situated within his own seating. The door opened up slowly as another entered the room gently closing the door behind them. Their eyes looking around for a moment noticing the dark haze over the room. The only light source was that of the moon lightly gleaming down into the room.

"Sir.. Are you well?"  The other asked as he sat there in his chair. "Yes I'm fine.. why do you ask?"  Stepping forward slowly fidgeting with their index finger on each paw while their ears lowered down. "Sir.. You have not eaten since you came home.."  Turning his head once more to the other, opening his eyes to the maid. Her uniform was cushioning against her curves as her fur would be clean and pulled back into a bun on top of her head. Her tail laying limp to the ground as her body language was one thing he could tell she was worried or perhaps sad. Gripping the armrests of his chair and lifting himself up to his feet. 

"Has it been long? The time was taken from me." His tail sliding off his lap soon as he stood up, picked itself up behind him swaying slowly side to side in a calm motion. "I thought everyone was with their loved ones or to their own homes today?.. Go home, I won't keep you here this day."  Listening to him as her ears perked up in surprise, but a soft smile would grow on her muzzle. "Sir?! Yes.. Um yes sir! Thank you sir!" Shaking his head gently with a smile on the side of his muzzle as he watched her tail and body in a more joyous motion. Bowing her head to him, "But sir your food is getting cold.." 

Reaching out his paw placing it upon her shoulder for a moment, her head lifting up hesitantly. His paw soon letting go, "Go ahead and leave, I will be fine.." Nodding her head quickly and stood back up her smile hadn't left her muzzle as she excitedly turned around making her way out of the room. It wasn't long before the front door had been opened and closed behind her. He stood in the room for a moment to himself then made his way to the window. Hearing the door close, his eyes watched as her body would jump around in the snow covered ground playfully running to the front gates. "That's right.. go have yourself a good time.. Smile be joyful."

 A smile that was in the corner of his muzzle had stretched across. It wasn't only for a moment before he moved away from the window closing the door of the room behind him. The hallways were quiet like they had never been so for a long time. He could hear his own footsteps tapping against the wooden floor. "It has been so long since we have been alone hasn't it?" reaching out his left paw touching the wallpaper as he walked down the hallway to the staircase. Slowly stepping down the stairs taking off his socks that covered his feet. Feeling the soft grip of the carpet underneath his pads.

His ears would flatted to his head, reaching the bottom of the stairs. Looking around as his eyes would gleam in the light before walking towards the dining room. Opening up the door finding a long table, a cover went all down the table covering it from side to side. A single plate and bowl sat at the end of the table alone. His smile slowly began to fade "Indeed alone.."  He said to himself aloud, while walking to the chair at the end of the table. Stopping at the end chair for a moment noticing the food was still warm, pulling out his chair and sat down.

His claws came out cutting into his food using his claws as forks and knives to feed himself. Only to grab a spoon to sip the soup that was prepared for him. After his meal, taking the plate and bowl to the kitchen along with the spoon. Cleaning the dishes himself then drying off his paws, taking a stroll around inside of his home. Closing his eyes only to listen to the wind blowing against the outer walls of his home. The windows shaking lightly at the passing blows of the wind, small particles of snow had drifted in only to dissolve into the warm air. His arms reached around to his back holding paw in paw as he walked taking in the scents of those that passed through only hours and moments ago.

He could just imagine what they would say to him as he passed by, but their voices would blur into one. "Good evening sir.. Can I get you something sir? What will you have me do sir?" stopping in the middle of the living room at the bottom of the stairs near the front door. His eyes opened up once more to gaze out of the window at the falling fresh snow. "Snow, my beauty.. My mistress of the cold, so white and pure you look up in the air. Down upon the ground you lay waiting and covering the land with your beauty creating destroying along with your body. How you hug us all in your cold warmth, wanting nothing but to love and show us beauty.. But we are all blinded by the rough edges you have the cold and freezing temperatures you keep us at. Your kisses take our breath away, your warm hugs freeze out bodies and your love is endless keeping us forever young within your loving embrace"

A tear rolling down his cheek its warmth slowly moving down his cheek to the bottom of his chin only to drip down. Memories of times past out in the snow wit his loved one's friends and family were only made up in his head of things and times that could have happened but never did. Turning from the window putting on a coat stepping out onto the porch feeling the chill of the snow under his pads. Walking out into the snow covered porch, grabbing the shovel near the door and began scooping the snow and tossing it into the air. The snow flew up and parted back into snowflakes shining and dancing in the wind.

Flowing back down to the ground away from the porch, working upon the porch and closing the screen door to the porch helping to keep the snow from entering. He turned around walking back inside to warm his pads. Making his way upstairs and sat down on the small chair in the hallway leaning back against the wall and closed his eyes. "My dear.. what else can I do? I miss you so much.." Opening up his eyes only to see a portrait of him and a female next to him in a warm embrace. "It is just us two once more.. in our home how times have changed my love.. these ol' bones can not keep up with many of those that help around here."

His fur was partially grayed as his eyes were dimmed from the way they once were. Reaching out his paw to the portrait with a slight frown wanting to touch her soft fur once more, hear her voice calling out to him. "My love.. we will be together someday I promise." pulling his paw away standing back up heading to his bedroom undressing and getting ready for bed he crawled under the blankets and closed his eyes humming a soft melody to help him sleep. The night growing dark, as he lay in bed before long all was quiet as he slept in the bed.

A moment of breath escaped his mouth before his movement stopped from his chest. His life was no more in that instant, his aches and pains were all gone. His spirit soon reunited along side his beloved holding her in his arms once more for all eternity. Morning would come as the help all gathered around the bed of their passed lord. Their heads lowered down in respect, each one of them had tears rolling down their cheeks. He was a good master to them, boss and a friend. Reaching down one touched his muzzle, "Sir.. Rest well.. We will look after you now as you have looked after us. We will miss you and love you as a father.. Older brother.. A companion." 

Another reached out as they all would do the same touching his blanket and his body in different spots. A soft voice came from the crowd. "Remember when you stood up for me my lord.. nobody had ever done that before.. I never got to thank you for doing that.. protecting me from those that wished harm upon me... why did you have to leave before I got to say thank you.." another spoke as they all seemed to have a situation of him coming to their aid about some sort of thing or another.

One didn't speak as all she did was look down at him she had been with him for the longest than any of the others, all she could do was have her eyes water and let the tears roll down her cheeks. One reason she couldn't speak was she was a mute, but they all knew her story with him. When she was young, she had been made into a sex slave tortured and raped repeatedly by multiple people. Since she was mute she could never scream for help or for someone to help her. One day he had heard about her so he went for a visit, but found her chained up bound to the wall. Her body shaking and shivering crying from those that had used her for the years she never could get back.

His eyes widened looking at how young she was, enraging a fire inside of himself, her eyes opened up flinching and curling up against the wall seeing him only as a shadow on the floor. Her head slowly looking up her eyes watery with tears, as his eyes connected with hers seeing the fear, worry in her eyes. Walking over to her taking off his coat and wrapped it over her body she whimpered lowering her body more to the ground.. Soon a few of those that held claim to her came in which he began to fight them over the treatment and condition of her.

Which turned physical she stayed curled up under his coat, hiding her face not wanting to witness what was being done. Sniffing his scent and holding it close to her as she could, before he laid down on the ground getting beaten until he could barely move. She was taken away and moved to a different place, it wasn't a few years later until she had escaped from her captures. Then began working in a saloon doing what she only knew how to do, when he came through the doors. He was known in the saloon by both the ladies, with the townsfolk. He had worked off an on with many of the townsfolk or had helped once or twice before.

Meeting the new girl he would stare at her knowing she looked familiar. After a few times coming in, both him and the other girls were teaching her how to spell, read so that why she could communicate with them easier. One day her eyes were in tears as he wrapped her body in his coat. She wrote down to him about how long ago he had been the one to try and help her. After reading the note he smiled softly and began holding her close not long after he took her into his home and gave her so much love and care she needed, but never one did he have her in his bed for anything other than to hold during thunderstorms, when she had flashback's in the form of nightmares.

All she do now was stare at his lifeless body tears rolling down her cheeks.
