Tracker

Grandfather

It had been a while since anyone had seen the sunlight in a while, trapped down in tunnels and ruins for years. Everyone had forgotten what the outside world had looked like and what the slight soft breeze felt like on there faces, old ones had passed to pass on the stories of living on the surface of the earth. The tales lived on turning into myths, after a while almost everyone had forgotten about the life above, well... Almost everybody, the tale lived on in the heart of a young pup named tracker. His grandfather had told him stories about the world above and how when the rain falls it feels like an angels touch, Tracker loved the stories his grandfather told him until his grandfather had passed away from a illness within the caves. A wave of coldness washed around everyone "Tracker..." the grandfather spoke with such shutters "d-dont forget the...." he stopped.... frozen in words he smiled feeling the slight touch of angels around him "don't forget the surface...." He pushed out his last words slowly turning stiff. Young Tracker had no words just silence. No one really cared about Trackers grandfather, they had thought he was crazy telling stories about the above, Tracker had not spoke much after that but swore to himself that he would make it to the surface soon "I will be there..... meet me there grandfather" he smiled slightly.

About five years later

Tea had ran up to Tracker barking with excitement "Track wake up! wake up!" she barked tugging his ear slightly drooling all over it

Tracker let out a growl then snapped his jaws at her "what!" he mumbled

Tea smiled, she seemed not scared by Tracker at all "there is a hole in the side of the cave! SUNLIGHT!" she barked more

Tracker rushed up running to the hole trying to fit his head in it "c-come on....FIT!" he snapped

The others laughed and muttered "Weirdo....dosent he know the outside is killer danger.... the radiation will kill us all"

One of the others sightly chuckled "yea... lets tell King that there is a hole in the wall" they walked away leaving Tracker stuck in the wall

Tracker whimpered clawing at the wall "get bigger!" he growled just as Tea and Sax showed up

Sax shook his head "Oh please Tracker stop... your going to get hurt!"

Tea grabbed Trackers paw pulling him out of the small hole "Stop this Tracker... face it we will never see the outside"

Tracker grows silent just staring at the hole, after a while he spoke "this is not fair...."

Sax sighed "Lifes not fair deal with it"

Tea sat next to Tracker "its about grandfather isn't it?"

Tracker growled at Tea and walks away

Tracker sat in his spot for a while away from everyone "one day....one day ill be outside... with you grandfather..." he lied his head down

Tea and the others sat watching the workers fix the hole

Tracker growls "its been years why dosent someone see if its safe outside yet?" his ears perked "thats it!" he looked over at his gear his grandfather had left behind wagging his tail "someone has to do it....ILL DO IT!" he barked making others look at him confused

he folds his ears watching them slowly look away, he says to himself "besides.... I don't want to be here anyway..." he grabs his gear and notices a bottle of something slips out of the hoodie his grandfather had given him "huh?" he looks at it still confused but picks it up anyway putting a lace over him, he smiled "all set!" he looked around "now how to get out of here..."

A few wolfs look at him dressed up in his gear "dork..." they walk away laughing a little

Tracker folds his ears and looks in a puddle and lowers his head whimpering "maybe.....I should not go..."
