The Other Side of the Tracks ~Chapter 3~
Chapter 3 (is finally here~)
_ _ My ass felt stuck to the log I was sitting on. No, literally it was stuck. "Come on, Boogh." I grunted. "I can't! My ass is stuck." My mom grabbed my paw and pulled. I nearly shrieked in pain. God damn that hurt! I limped up to the rock, my mom's tail keeping level to my snout but not brushing against my nose. "Hello, I am Rauh(Raw). Welcome to Rushing Rock Island." Rauh smiled. Then he turned to the croud of anxious dogs. "These dogs are going to help us look for my sister, Kinta!" He roared. "Sarah, please come up here." A golden brown female dog trotted from the crowd. "Yak." A black and brown rottweiler stood. "Yip." A small white dog shakily stood up. "Warrble. My beloved son." Warrble stood up, his tail wagging so fast I thought he was going to rise to the air. "Thes following dogs are going to be our heroes!' he announced. I felt so proud! Finally, a actual adventure.
Later that day, Sarah, Yak, Yip, Warrble and I took a look around the island. I managed to find a trail, but it ended abrubtly at the shore-line. "So, I've heard you are the new Survivor, eh?" Sarah said, nudging me. "Yeah, so?" I sniffed around a log. "Did you really steal that WHOLE hot dog cart?" "Yeah. So?" "And the mail man. What did you do whe you caught him?" "Tore his pants off then stole the mail bag." I said, my head raising high with pride. "Wow!" Sarah exclaimed. "A-and can you really bark that loud?" I nodded as I put my front paws on the tall tree. It shook and two coconuts fell down. "Bon appetite." I said with a french accent. I rose a paw up and smashed the coconut. Luckily there was still lots of milk left. We both enjoed the coconuts, and Yip came and ate the shells. "Yummeee!" He yipped. "No wonder your name is yip." I told him. "Yeah. When I was a pup I'd yap all day and night!" Yip turned and bolted toward some paw prints in the sand. "Oh gosh oh gosh!" he yelped. "These paw prints are fresh! The dognapper has just been here! Oh my oh my! He's following me!" Yip had made the paw prints himself, and he was going in a wide circle. "Oh help oh help!" He yipped. "Grrr! Go away, dognapper!" I pretended to be the napper, yelping and praying for mercy. Then I ambled away, making sure Yip was still in the sand, his paws over his head. He opened a eye. "Is he gone?" "Yep. Chased him to the other island." Yak suddenly came over, his eyes dark and mad. "So this is what you do? Stand around and play games?" Warrble was sniffing around a tree, then he lifted his leg. "Ew!" Sarah grunted and put her paw over her nose. "Ech.." I smelt the stench too. Warble's piss smelled like dog shit. Fresh, too.
We actually did find a good trail. It went up a huge mountain then down a slope, and we found the hideout. A cave hole was carved into a huge slope. "Well, we found where the thieves play fetch." I said. "Hey, can we go inside and play too?" Yip asked, looking up at me with his big, bulging blue eyes. "Maybe later, but now we gotta show these guys not to mess with us!" Warrble growled before I could speak. _"Let's just go in!" Yak snarled. "Jeez, Yak. Don't gotta be a pooper scooper." I snorted as we followed the bulk dog inside. Yak grumbled something about me being a walking ass. The cave looked so.. weird. Bright blue stalgimites dripped from the ceiling, some growing from the ground also. There were so many places to explore... but there were only five of us... splitting up would just leave one of us by ourself. I decided that to be me. "Everyone split up. Warrble and Yip, go that way. Yak and Sarah, go that way." They suprisingly followed my orders. I squeezed through a small hole in the wall and enter a blue cave. Black stalgimite grew from the ground and ceiling. Bats huddled on stalgimites. "Help! Heeelp!" I heard a cry. I followed the scent and found myself staring into... a forest? Grass, mini trees and bushes were everywhere. "Help!" Came the cry again. I followed the scent again and found a lab standing in between huge stalgimites. They were so high that not even a cat could climb it. "Help me, young boy!" she urged. I stalked foward and cracked the stalgimites with my bare paws. "Thank you!" She followed me to the middle where Yak, Sarah, Warrble and Yip were waiting. "Mom!" Warrble hurtled toward me. "Warrble. It's good to see you." "Okay, enough with the family reinuion. Let's go." "Not so fast!" We spun around to see a golden retriever with two rotties standing on his sides were growling and snarling at us. "Hello, Survivor."
"Nice trap, eh?" He circled me. "I stole Warrble's mother and knew that he'd get you to help. And then I left so many clues for you a blind pup could find me!" He snapped in my face. "Eh.. have you ever heard of mint flavored tooth paste?" I snorted. "Quiet! I've waited so long for this.. and now you're standing here right in my home!" He stopped in front of me. "It's time I tell the how Survivor went crazy." He smirked. "You see, I let this disease spread throughout the city to send him to me. When he escaped, he came to me. I let him in. But then he betrayed me! He took the fame.. he took everything.." He paused. "It's time I take my powers back._
