The last thing that I saw was the sky under the water. The sky was getting smaller and smaller and I was numb. I have gotten beat many times by my owner ever since I was born. My mom didn't tell her owner and he got mad. Too mad.

Everything went black.

So, this is it? Blackness. To be honest, I'm kind of glad this is happening. I get to see my mama again.

💙
I stood up right away and moved to the edge of the water. Edd and Matt stood next to me with a confused and startled look on their faces. "What was that?" Edd asked.

I hate the water. Despised it, actually.

So, it was shocking for Edd and Matt to see me jump straight into the water and swim quickly.

I saw a living being be thrown into the water. And I'm going to save it. I don't know why, but I just have this feeling that I have to.

As I got near the spot, I dipped down and swam deep into the water. I swam as fast as I could while opening one eye. The other closed because this water isn't the cleanest.

As I quickly approached the slightly light brown, I gripped it's fur with my teeth and quickly swam back up. I was loosing breath fast.

When I finally got up, I gasped for air and dropped the furry being back in the water, but I quickly grab the being again and swam with it back to shore where Edd and Matt are waiting with concerned faces. And, after they saw what I was holding, it turned to shock. I made it on land and drop the living furry thing by Edd and dropped down on the floor and out of breath.

Matt came up to me to make sure that I was alright, but Edd stayed with the small furry thing. Everything around me was slowly fading. I could see black splotches everywhere and my eyes began slowly closing. Until I could only see black.

My eyes fluttered open, and I sat up slowly. I looked around and realized that I was back inside my box and the flap was closed. I stretched and then got up and flipped the flap open using my head as I walked out. I look to the corner of the alley and see Matt's box. I think he's sleeping because the flaps are covered at the top. All of us sleep inside a box, they are all different.

Matt's box is open and the open part is facing up, like how a normal box looks like when you open it. But, Edd cut an opening for Matt to get inside with his claws, and now Matt's door is the shape of a doggie door that's usually at the bottom of a normal door. So, when it's raining or if he wants to be alone, he flips the flaps above him over so that it doesn't get inside.

Edd's box was turned upside down and the flaps were folded up so the box was closed. Instead of a square shaped door like Matt's, Edd's is a circle. He also had a couple stickers decorated on his box. Edd abd Matt also have a blanket inside of their box just like I do.

I walked foward and saw Edd picking our food for us from our food pile, but he was talking? To who?

I walk towards Edd. "Hey, Edd." I greeted. "Oh, hey Tom! You're awake!" He smiled cheerfully. "Yeah. Who are you talking to?" I asked. "Tord." Edd responded. I was confused. Who's Tord? Where is Tord? Is Edd going crazy?

"Uhh, sooo, where's Tord?" I ask slowly. I saw a few cans from our food pile suddenly fall and make a clink noise as it hit the cement floor. I look up at the pile and see a cat's head sticking out of the pile. The cat has carmel colored fur and light grey eyes. He stuck his tongue out with a smile. I was startled and backed away slightly until I recognized him as the furry from the bridge.

"Tom, this is Tord. Tord, this is Tom. They guy who saved you." Tord put his tongue back in his mouth and leaped out of the pile. He walked up to me and he was pretty short compared to me. He goes up to my shoulders. "Hi! Thank you for saving me." Tord said looking up at me. "Uhh, y-yeah.. No problem.." I say quietly with a tint of blush spreaded on my face.

Edd walked away with the food and placed them on the floor. After Edd prepares the food, he called us to come and eat. I walked with Tord to Edd and we ate. Matt came a little later and joined us as well. While we ate our version of "dinner", we talked about ourselves to Tord.

Tord told us all about how he ended up there.

His original owner died and so he was put into the hands of his owner's father. His new owner woyld drink because he was upset that his child had died by a heart attack at age 23, so he would sometimes hurt Tord. But, Tord would take care of him after that by putting a blanket over his passed out body. Then, it got to the point where even if he was drunk or not, he would get hurt. If he hid, it wouldn't last long until he would be found again. When he tried to run away one time, he boarded up all of the windows and never let him outside. He would starve Tord but he didn't know that animals have a mind of their own. So, Tord would make his own food. He got mad at Tord this morning and so he dropped him into the watee and here we are now.

Matt started a mini fire so that we could be warm and be outside. Yes, we know how to make a fire. We have been homeless that long abd a homeless human did it when we were looking for food. Tord looked impressed and sat in front of the fire. I saw that he was still wet, so I went back into my box and brought my blanket. I gripped it with my teeth and dragged it on the floor making my way to Tord. I placed the blanket over Tord while he was looking at the fire. Tord looked at the blanket, and then looked at me.

The light from the fire reflected in his beautiful grey eyes making his eyes glimmer and shine. I smile and lay down next to him and go underneath the blanket with him. I snuggled close to him and he
Adorably.
Freaking.
Purred.

He laid his head to the side and rested his head on me as we got extra warmth from the fire. I was blushing like crazy.
Clearly.

But, I have a good feeling about Tord. Even if I just met him.

Happy Mothers Day!
