Even though im not very happy right now, i still cant wait to get back. I started running towards it. I stepped up to the door, and i just felt, yet another, sigh of relief. As i opened the maple wood door, i heard a cry of a small animal. Quickly, i closed the door and looked around. I heard it again, from the forest this time, but on the outskirts. I slowly approached the forest, but at the same time, grabbed my weapon because of what happened a short time before. No one else was home at the base yet, so i had to do this myself. Then as i walked, i saw it, a tiny little creature, that looked like a puppy, was laying on the ground, but severely injured with huge claw marks running down its back. I slowly lifted its head up to find that it was indeed a puppy. A German Shepard actually. Slowly and carefully, i picked it up and started walking back, hoping he was back at the base. I walked back in a little bit faster pace than before. I got back only to find that the door was open. I cracked open the door a little bit more to see him. "You scared me," i said. "Sorry," he said. "Xavier, im glad your back."
