"Ignited, we shall stand!
Our resistance shall and will never end!
Until me and my brethren
Are removed from your cold, dead hands!"
~Albert Whittiker, 2025, Minds of the Rebellious and Deceased
Nikki gave me something as soon as she was thawed. I convinced her to talk to Winter at least, who was shy. However, they warmed up to each other, and eventually started chatting. I inspected the object Nikki gave me. It appeared to be shaped like a small, glass, black-and-white prism, with one whole blue side. I figured it was a toy she used when she needed to relieve stress.
Then, as if in a dream, my world changed completely. Suddenly, I was in space, I freaked out at first because—well, who wouldn't? But then I relaxed, seeing I must've fallen asleep while we were walking. Then I saw it: a spaceship similar to the one that sent Neal Armstrong onto the moon. I was transported inside, seeing a little girl, hiding, ears drawn down, as she flew through the Last Frontier. I was then suddenly outside the ship, watching it move as I saw the engine's last light from the glow of the thrusters, as I am left in it's everglow.
"Venus...?"
"What's up, Chris?"
As he shifted side to side, looking like a cherry a bit, I fiddled with my watch, looking at the time.
10:35 PM
"Let's sleep for tonight. It's close to midnight, Chris."
We laid down, hugging each other as the last light from the sun fell, and night was upon us. As I closed my eyes slowly, I couldn't help but grin a bit as our tails wrapped around each other.
And I could hear his last few words.
"Love you...."
"Damnit, how did you lose them, you filthy mutt?!"
Neil slapped a wolf across the face hard, staring into his beady black eyes.
"S-sir, I apologise for-"
"For what, being MOMMY'S LITTLE DISGRACE OF A CHILD?!?!"
He turned around."I was paid big money to capture the children and their parents, and I will not take failure as an option. I hope you all understand..."
He pulled a gold plated gun onto the wolf he slapped, shooting his head and glaring at the others."This is the reward for all of you, when you fail to complete a job."
Neil walked out, holstering the gun."Dismissed."
