Into The Night

Forty-One

It's one of the first few times that I failed. . .

"Ow! Hey! What--"

"Shut up." Taylor snapped at me as she applies medicine to my right leg which wasn't bleeding that badly but it was painful.

I didn't plan it like this but it happened like. . . like this! It was so annoying. One time, just one damn time when I forgot that Taylor has four dogs surrounding her house, it all went to a total disaster.

I wasn't loud enough to have drawn attention to anyone but her as she had been on her roof and she was actually watching me at that time.

I accidentally slipped, giving up an I'm-here sign for the dogs to read easily. They all came running towards me and as I was preoccupied by the St. Bernard with two hands, the shih tzu with my elbow and one Siberian husky into focus, I forgot about the other one.

That time, I was out of breath and beyond my limits of resistance from the strength of three large dogs and one viciously barky pup. The shih tzu was so noisy, it kept barking at me in this loud puppy bark. The St. Bernard was gentle yet, of course, I couldn't let it lick my face or come on top of me because I needed to get out really quickly. Plus, that weight would suffocate me, what in the hell are they feeding their dogs?!

The lights inside the house were turning on and I could already hear their front door opening up. In that mode of hurry, Taylor climbed down and helped me with their dogs, give or take thirty seconds before our certain deaths.

When I finally stood up, I accidentally stepped on a Siberian husky's tail so. . . disaster went on.

Like all the other things that had happened in my life, when faced by sudden shock and sudden hits on my skin, I always tend to scream. I did. . . thank God, Taylor was there to cover my mouth and she let me climb up first.

So here we are.

"You're just lucky, we don't have any Rottweilers around." Taylor said and applying some bandage.

"Oh yeah, Tay, I've been bitten by a dog and I'm still so lucky." I grumbled.

"Keep your voice down." She said. "You've been making really misleading noises during the process and I wouldn't want them to find out that you're here."

"Have I?" I asked and blinked a few times. I honestly thought I almost blacked out there because my back hurts from the slip and the fact that some dog bit me. "Please tell me they are all vaccinated."

"Shh." Taylor once again shushed me. Honestly, I've got no idea how many times she had already done that but apparently, it's every time I raise my voice. "Yes, they all are, don't worry."

"Oh good. Because I don't. . . like. . . needles."

"I think you still need to be vaccinated." She said and most certainly, I'll never agree to that sort of thing. I don't even take the deworming pills they gave us during middle school. I am not a fan of both medicine and needles.

"I'm sorry, did you not just hear what I said?" I asked rhetorically.

"Just a thought." She said and smiled. "You feeling okay?"

Well, my back hurts, and not to mention a dog bit me and I'm still quite tired but other than that, I'm fine. . . I'm fine. "I'm immortal." I said to her.

"Good, glad to know you have inside voices."

It was a moment of silence and Taylor was staring at me like she was waiting for me to do something. It wasn't so long until I realised it's because I'm lying on her bed. . . but honestly, I don't want to get up. It's comfortable and it smells like her so it's definitely heaven.
