Dog's face

(English is not my native language, so apologies for any mistakes.)

I groaned as he sat down. "Ow! What? What, see something is dripping from my paw. That kind of red?" He asked and looked at his paw, which was bleeding. "It's blood, hero." I said and sat up, looking at him. "It's something important" He asked as I looked at him confused and then angry. "Well rather, how do you not want it all to spill out? And we don't want that. It's not like you should be jumping, from a moving van onto a headboard!" I shouted and stood up.

"Strange, because normally I'm more indestructible. It's probably some.....styrofoam! Take it from here! He's robbing me of my powers!" He said and tried to move away. I looked at the Styrofoam and grabbed it. "Ahha!" I said, holding it towards him. "What are you doing? Put it down!" He said and watched me carefully. "Good! The ball's over! Untie me, because if you don't, t-then I'll weaken you with this styrofoam! With sinister styrofoam!" I said as he stepped back.

"You're crazy! You're in danger of death or disability." He said panicked and looked at me like I was crazy as we circled around each other. "Am I crazy? Haha! Just so you know! I won't back down from anything! Come the power of Styrofoam!" I said and held the Styrofoam close to his face while he. "Whoa! I give up! You have won! I will untie you." He said, looking at me in defeat. "It's a strange first time, seeing a tree made of meat." He said, looking sideways with curiosity. I turned my head to look, but was knocked down and pinned to the ground as the Styrofoam flew out of my paw.

"Will there be any more problems, doggie?" He asked, looking slightly at me. "No, no. No more problems. I'll take you to Penny." I said quickly. He sniffed the air and got off me. He made a burbling sound and Bolt quickly got up and sat down, holding his stomach and looking at me. "Did you hear that! What's that?" He asked slightly horrified. "What?" I asked confused as to what he was asking. As his stomach rumbled again.

"Listen! You have two seconds to tell me what you implanted in me, reptile! A parasite? A bomb? A parasite? And I've already said that, haven't I? See, I'm already messing with my head, trace senses." He said, to which I rolled my eyes. "Well I'm not going to make it. You're hungry." I said and sat up as his stomach rumbled again. He put his paw on the leash as it pulled me along. "Where's the antidote for that?" He asked sternly, looking at me with his brown eyes. "Cool, cool! Relax." I said as he let go of his paw from the leash.

We climbed the hill and saw an RV campsite with people and children playing. "You have your antidote. Food." I said, looking at the delicious food. "Come on. Go on, use the dog charm." I said and sat down, then looked at him, he looked confused. "Well beg." I said, because he still didn't understand. "Well, do the big doggy eyes." I said and turned towards him. "What dog's eyeballs? And why should I beg?" He asked, to which I sighed.

"The only dog in the world who can't beg." I said quietly and looked at him. "Ok. If you want food.....antidotum, you'll have to do exactly what I did." I said, already really hating myself. I hated begging, I hadn't done it in a long time. "No. Don't count on it, the one who sold his soul, by force of evil. Forget it." He said, looking away. "Yes, yes. I know. But on the other hand, he just wants you to tilt your head slightly. Can you do that? Right?" I said and tilted my head as he slowly started to do the same.

"Still, still." I said when he was close. "This is kind of stupid." He said and stopped tilting his head. "No, no, no. Don't give up, it's almost out." I said and smiled slightly. "Oh mother." He said, then tilted his head as I did and smiled slightly.

POV BOLT

This idea seemed ridiculous to me, but there it is, seemingly a way to get the antidote. "Okay. Try it like this." Shade said and tilted his head to the right. Since he was sitting opposite me, I tilted my head left. "Wonderful. Tilt it up," he said. No. Down." He said, moving his head, and I followed his movements. "And smile a little. And no, no smile. Flap your left ear. The other left." He said, and I tried not to smile, seeing how adorable he looked when he tried to be thorough. "Ok, the second one was better. And flap both." He said.

"Wait. Right. Now very lightly, look up." He said as I lifted my gaze. "Well done! Wonderful!" He said cheerfully, wagging his tail. We started walking down towards the campers, I was a bit curious so I wanted to ask. "Can I ask a question?" I asked gently. "That's what you do." He giggled quietly as my ears perked up more. "Sure, why not?" He said and smiled. "I don't understand why you don't beg if you're a dog too." I said as the smile slowly faded and he looked away. "Because it's been a long time since I've done that." He said quietly.

"But we don't talk about it anymore. Let's go get the antidote!" He said and tried to change the subject by hiding under the camper. "Now bark quietly." he said from under the camper. The door to the camper opened and I looked inside, where I saw a couple of old men. I looked at Shade, who made a 'dog face' that looked adorable on him. I shook my head slightly and then looked at the couple, making a face. "Och! Here you go, dog!" They said and threw back half the hot dog.

"Yes!" Shade cheered, then crawled out from under the camper and sat down. We both ate a hot dog, after which Shade taught me more 'dog faces' as we got more food.
