Bill's POV
As the door starts to swing open I sense the fear coming from secret. I instinctively back away. When the door is fully open I'm greeted with the sight of two people. One looks too familiar.
"So you have a buyer for the collie right? He can't stay here any longer the girl is searching for him"
That's Crystal! That's the girl that ended up in our dorm! I let out a low growl to show my disgust. She narrows her eyes at me and then proceeds to turn on her heel and walk off. The man slams the door leaving the room once again in a dim light. I can see the dust dance in the fading beams of light. They have a buyer? I'm never seeing my girl again.
I collapse in the corner allowing my misery to take over as I let out all my pent up emotions. I can tell secret is trying to work out what to do, I feel bad for her but I'm preoccupied crying. I curl tight into a ball and end up fast asleep. All I can do now is wait. Wait to be taken away to whatever country with whatever person. I feel my will to live seep out of me as my happiness drains and my future gets dimmer and dimmer.
Poppy's POV
"Echo shut up! You've peed five times now and it's only been an hour!" I swear this dog has bladder issues!
"Yes but I need to go again." Echo whines. I turn to storm and Willow to see they have stopped already.
"Fine. Hurry though and when I say that I mean don't spend six hours deciding where to pee!" The truth is when I stop tracking Bills scent I feel diconnected from him. When I'm tracking him I feel like he's guiding me, like he's right beside me. I'm worried about him and of course Secret and Ace. I'm also worried about this journey. I should be doing this alone, what if something happens to storm or Echo or willow? I wouldn't ever forgive myself.
"DONE!" Echo trots out from the bushes. She has a stupid smile on her face. I roll my eyes and lower my nose again. The light is fading and I know we can't walk 24/7.
Later that day
the sun drops until it sits just above the hills casting shadows across the land. I lift my nose and take a deep breath taking in all the fresh scents. I turn to the three dogs behind me, they all look tired and bored.
"Let's find somewhere to rest." I walk of the road and start looking for a decent place to get rest.
"Over here?" Storm paws at a pile of leaves in between the exposed roots of an ancient oak. I nod and trot over. It's at least a bit sheltered from the wind. I curl up in between two large roots. Willow curls up nearby as instantly falls asleep while Storm decides to stretch out further down and echo just buries herself in a pile of leaves. What did you expect? It's Echo. I watch as Echo tosses and turns which causes leaves to fly everywhere. Storm let's out a grunt as Echo whacks him in the face with her paw.
"Echo would you settle already!" Storm stands up and plods away from Echo who seems to have fallen asleep now on her back with her tongue hanging out. Storm shakes his head and settles facing towards me to avoid Echo hitting him in the face again.
Storm soon falls asleep so I decide to take a short walk. I wonder to a clearing which has white daisys that dance in the increasing breeze. Winter hasn't yet passed and there is a crisp chill in the air. I look to the sky. The stars shine bright here much brighter than on the streets where the street lamps caused the stars to look dim. I sigh as I remember those days. Maybe my luck has run out. Maybe I'll never find Bill. Although I've never believed in luck, only that the word lucky can be used to describe something unexpected and good happening. Luck is simply the product of hard work. I sometimes wish my life would just work out and be easy, but if life was easy then we would get bored and maybe not discover things. If I didn't live on the streets I may never have met Loca. This memory also brings a pang of pain back. I look back at the sky once more. With everything changing the sky is the one thing I can depend on, the one thing that no matter what happens is always there and always shines bright.
I head back to the tree to find all the dogs sleeping peacefully. I settle back down and erase everything from my mind in an attempt to sleep. I eventually fall into a dreamless sleep.
