Stretching gently I rise to my legs looking around I sniff the air and right away know something is missing, where could she be? Why did she leave me?
I walk to the kitchen and my bowl is empty, why is it empty? Doesn't she love me any more? Where is my mistress???
Walking through to the lounge room I see a note walking slowly to it I peer at it curiously but I cant read human words, what does it say? Why is it here? Whats going on!!!
Getting worried, I walk through the hall to the stairs peering up I see the gate is open, she never leaves the gate open, I'm not allowed up there... but I am frightened... Did I do something wrong?
I slowly walk up the stairs frightened that I will hear her yell but hoping I do hear it.
I reach the gate and I smell something new, something terrible... Blood... My fur rises and my ears peek listening for the slightest noise, nothing... I move into the hall, I have never been here everything smells strange and new I fight my excitement as my fear rises once more... where is she? Why would she leave me?
The smell is getting stronger, what has happened? Please don't be there...
I step to an open door and sniffing, nothing... i enter and the room is empty but the jingling of chains and straps, where are you mistress? What have I done to make you leave me?
I move slowly to the next room sniffing, Nothing another empty room this one has a cadge in the center... My legs wont move! I need Mistress! Where are you?
I force my legs to move as I walk to the last door the smell of blood filling the air heavy and wet, a low growl comes from my lips followed by a tiny whimper.
I enter the room looking all over but... nothing! There is blood everywhere! Where is she? Oh gods no... How could I let this happen? How could I have let someone come in and take her!
I howl loudly my rage and fear bubbling over as my legs fail me and I fall to the ground in a heap, I failed her! I know I did... I need her! I need my mistress! NOW...
Rising to my feet I walk into the bathroom and freeze... no... Gods no...
I fall to the ground whimpering at the prone body of my mistress...
I lick at her cheek but she will not wake, I nuzzle her hand as she likes me to it opens and a bloody razer falls to the floor, why wont she move? Why wont she wake?
I lie next to her and snuggle against her cold body... I must keep her warm... I must protect her!
I fall asleep next to her.
I must protect my mistress, I must stay with her always... I... I will not fail her again...
End.
