A Hard Life

A Hard Life: Ch. 4

Author: I'll try to update twice today. And happy Mothers Day!

When I can see again, I'm in the cafeteria. What am I doing here? And where's everyone? I walk around until I see two, short pillars in front of me wielding a knife and a piece of cheese.

"Choose," Kane's voice commands.

"Why? What is the need to choose?" I question.

"Quit being stubborn and just choose one."

"No. I may be stubborn and curious but I shouldn't have to choose if I don't want to!"

"Fine." The knife and cheese disappear and I hear a low growl behind me. I turn around slowly and see what I'm facing. A dog, bearing sharp teeth, stands its ground at the door.

"Grrrr..." the dog makes the sound in its throat. I kneel down as if I'm going to sprint, but I don't. I allow the dog to come towards me. It circles me, as if considering if I would be a good meal choice or not. It then walks up to my face, showing its teeth.

"Huh?" I feel something wet touch my cheek. "Did you just, lick me?" To answer my question, the dog licks me again. I let out a small giggle.

"Puppy!" I hear two voices say. I look up and see a little Erudite girl and boy. The dog looks over and growls, it stands protectively in front of me.

"Shhh! Don't shout please." I tell them. They ignore me and shout puppy again. Ugh, idiots, I think to myself. The dog then charges towards them. Quickly standing up, I run after the dog. I catch up quickly surprisingly and tackle down the dog. I start rolling on the floor soon, because the dog evaporated from under me.

"What the?! Where am I?" I look around. I'm no longer in the cafeteria. I'm at the forbidden fence.
