Jinx's Heart Belongs To Me.

Her eyes sparkled a deep ocean blue as the light played with them and her skin was as pale as milk yet softer then silk. She had long black locks that would dance in the wind and plump pink lips that looked juicier then the juiciest plums. She had long slender limbs the where attached to an hourglass body. She was the picture of perfect beauty. Her name was Jinx Creston. She was the daughter of a mortician. She was also my owner.

My name is Soul. I'm a pitbull. Jinx found me in the alley behind the mortuary when i was a puppy. I'll never forget that week....that year....it was magical...

-4 years ago-

My mother had just had us when our den was attacked by some males who wherent keen on the sound of our whining plea's and soft yelps for mothers attention.

My siblings didn't make it...nor did my mother....the last thing i remember was her warm eyes as she set me down on the old papers under the dumpster. The sound of rage filled howls and pounding of padded feet against wet concrete. I whined for mom to pick me up but she only gave me a loving lick before taking off into the urban jungle.

Not to long after Jinx found me. She had come out to throw away some boxs. I heard her chains clink against each other,which reminded me of the crashing rocks....or was that the waterfall? Wait was there a waterfall near my den?....Ooooh I can't remember. All I know is the sound was comforting. I gave a small whine and stumbled out from under the dumpster. I howled softly, trying to get the attention of whatever I heard. Hoping i'd get some kinda food. But instead I felt the warm hands of this thing pick me up. I sniffed the air and whimpered. I couldn't feel the cold ground anymore. Was I flying? Wait....can I fly?

"Why hello there cutie pie. Your to young to be all alone out here.come on let's get you cleaned up." A smile. I could hear the source of the noise smiling. Then I remembered moms bed time stories about humans. Humans destroy things. Mom told me to stay away from them. But now I'm in the arms of one.One that wants to clean me up and take care of me.But is that really what this human means? I'm scarred...mom help me.

"Hold still sweetie. We are almost done." She giggled. The warm water felt nice on my fur but I wanted out. I wanted away. I wanted mom. This human wouldn't stop rubbing toys foamy stuff on me. "See your eyes are opened. They were just stuck because of the dirt." I looked up at her and she smiled at me. "I'm Jinx. And your....." She looked at me for a few minutes and then spoke cheerfully."Soul." She drained the tub and picked me up in a towel.I shook my head, letting the small bits of water dare down to the floor.Jinx Carried me to the kitchen and sat nee on the floor. As soon as my claws clicked against the wood I took my chance and ran. I ran looking desperately for somewhere to hide.

Jinx giggles as my paw slipped and I slid under a couch. Good enough. Jinx got on all fours,peering through the thin crack. I growled and yipped. I wasn't coming out. She giggled again and left me. I'm safe! I barked happily as I settled down. Sleepiness over taking me. My lids drooped as a yawn escaped my throat before I was over taken with sleep.

It felt like hours had passed when a sound sent a jolt up my spine.My eyes whipped open as it happened again. Wait that was my tummy. I'm hungry.

I peaked my head out and looked around.No human. I wiggled out from under my hiding place. It was quiet. It was weird....where did that human girl go? Maybe she's.....something wonderful filled my nose and I rushed to it, finding diverging that can only be expressed as pure joy filling my eyes. Food! Glorious food! I sniffed it cautiously before digging my muzzle into the meat. Gulping it down as if it was my last meal.

Once I finished I decided i'd look for...what was her name?....Jackie?No....Jenny?....no no....something weird.....Jinx! that's her name! Ooooook time to find Jinx.

The place was huge...then again I am just a puppy. Each room was filled with interesting objects. And I couldn't help but notice how warm each room was. I felt as if I was meant to be here. Maybe I could live with Jinx. I mean if it meant living in such a warm place and getting feed why not? Beret then outside I mean....mother wouldn't be to happy but maybe she was....a soft whimper filled my ears. What was that?I ran to the door and pawwed at it till it opened. The room wasn't like the others. It was painted black with bats and monster like creatures everywhere. It was warm but not inviting. My tail hid between my legs who told me to run. Which I would have done if I hadn't have speed Jinx. She sat on a coffin shaped couch. Her skin was pale and her cheeks stained black. Her arm hung down letting her knuckles brush against the white shag carpet. I barked, wanting her to look at me. But she didn't. She was still, her breathing slow. Was she sleeping? Slowly I made my way to her,watching her body cautiously.

The shag was so soft, soft enough to take a nap. Infact it wad inviting. Maybe I should. I could cuddle up next to Jinx's arm and sleep. That's what I'll do. I curled up next to her arm, my eyes closing. This rug was so warm. But what's that wet dropping stuff?

Slowly I opened my eyes and looked up. Deep ridges where carved onto her wrists. Thick,black rained down. I licked up the liquid,curious to what it was.Blood. Those deep ridges are cuts...a worried whimpers came out and I quickly licked at her cuts causing her to stir awake. Her blue eyes rested on me. They where filled with shock, then sadness and then love. "Ooooh Soul." Tears rained down her cheeks. Why was she crying? She was ok wasn't she?"I'm sorry soul." She said and scooped me up into her arms,soaking my fur with her tears. I licked her face and tried to cheer her up. Yet we spent hours like that. The bleeding stopped and she held me close. We both drifted to sleep....

-present-

After that day I realized how much Jinx needed me and how much I needed her. She was hurting badly. So from that day forward I swore that her heart would never feel pain as long as I was around. I decided that Jinx's heart belonged to no one but me.
