Lost Hope

Everything goes south

Raven POV

I am so bored! Mom said I had to stay by Chloe while she was getting some blankets. An hour after Mom left she finally came back. " Mom I'm going out on a walk " I yelled to her. " Ok Raven. Be safe." She called back. About fifteen minutes after I started my walk I ran into this dog.

He looked and smelled like me. This is so exciting I thought. I've never seen another dog like me and Mom before. " Hi, there! " I said walking up to him. " Hi, " he said with a smile. " What's your name? Mine is Raven " I said. " My name is Cole. It's nice to meet you Raven" he said.

We talked for a while till at about the same time my Mom and his Dad show up. That's when everything begins to go south. " Lee " Cole's father said to my Mom. " Trot, " my Mom said to him. " Wait, you two know each other?" I and Cole asked in unison. We were both extremely confused. " Raven come along we need to go home, " my Mom said trying to avoid the question. That's when Trot spoke up " Yes Raven we do. I'm your father and Cole is your brother."

As soon as he said those words I looked over at Mom. " Is this true? " I asked. " Yes, " she stated simply. I can't believe it. She's been lying to me. " You lied to me! My entire life you've lied to me! You told me that my father was dead and that I never had any siblings!" I screamed at her. " I'm sorry Raven. I thought it was for the best. I'm losing Chloe I can't lose you too" she said with a whimper. " Well guess what you just lost me, " I said. Just as I was about to turn and walk away, my mother was shot with a dart. I've seen that kind of dart before, that's a DNA dart! As quickly as possible I pulled the dart out of her flank but it was too late. " Run! " trot I mean Dad shouted and we all ran towards the woods as fast as we could.

Mom hurt her paw a few days ago and it slowed her down. She was caught and I turned my head to see them slit her throat and begin to collect the blood. I turned my head forward and continued running as tears streamed down my cheeks. My Mother has just been killed in front of my eyes...
