The Secret Life of Troy

Chapter Six: Big, Fat, Furry Trouble!

           I woke up to a loud noise, Saturn's snoring. I jumped on him and licked his face. He wouldn't get up. I got annoyed so I barked in his ear. He woke up with a jerk. "Hey!" Saturn exclaimed. "Why'd you do that!" I just smiled and jumped off Saturn into the bubbles. Saturn jumped after me. We found each other and Saturn tackled me. We both were rolling in the bubbles when we heard a crash. Saturn jumped out of the bubbles and I followed him. I saw rocks falling down and I yelped. Saturn told me to follow him. He took the remaining fruits from the ground and put them in his teeth. He did not swallow them. We both ran for our lives considering the fact that the part of the cave we were in was huge. It was really hard to run on hind legs.

           When finally got into the crystal part of the cave, a big boulder fell and blocked the door of the room we were in. No more bubbly-fun! We sat there to catch our breath. Saturn has more energy than me. Well he isn't the one who lost his front legs! He got up and told me that we shouldn't stay there because the crystals might fall too. Well he was right. The crystals started falling as soon as he said. They were crashing into the ground and shattering into shiny beautiful pieces. Those tiny pieces would fly all over the room. As soon as we saw the first crystal falling down we started running as fast as we can. We ran around the crystals. It was like it was a obstacle course. One big crystal almost hit Saturn's head. He jumped and ran faster than I've seen him run. It was hard to keep up with him. "Saturn, slow down!" I screamed. "Sorry" he said and slowed down but not too much. Then a big blue crystal crashed down on my tail.

        It wasn't sharp it was flat and heavy. I whined. I was scared. I couldn't move anywhere. I called Saturn. "Saturn I need some help!" Saturn came rushing back. "Why aren't you following me?" "I'm stuck!" I exclaimed. Saturn gasped. He sniffed around the crystal carefully but fast. He started digging. He dug fast for a teenage wolf. He dug, and dug, and dug, and dug. He kept digging until he got my tail out from underneath. When he got my tail out it was covered in mud, some of my hair fell off, and it was red. I was happy there was no blood but it was full of burns that hurt badly.

        We both ran and I was more careful. I did not want to do that again! Saturn ran fast. He basically sprinted through the cave after the tail incident. I didn't bother to ask him to slow down. I was scared if we were going to make it or not. What if we both get stuck under a crystal? What if we die? There were so many questions running through my head. "At least this was better than when I lost my front legs" I reassured myself. Suddenly we found a dead end. I panicked and whined. Saturn thought. He  said that he remembered a wall here. I was relived. We turned right and ran. We kept running until we saw a big opening. I was so excited. I ran even faster. I even ran past Saturn. We both ran outside and looked back. "Wow" Saturn said. "That was scary!" I said. We turned around. We were in big, fat, furry trouble!
