"You know what this means right?"Killer asks

"What?"I ask

"No more rules! You're free! You can do whatever you want, whenever or however you want!"He says

I smile.

"You're right! This rocks! So, where are are we going?"I ask

"We?"He says

"You wanted me to runaway with you and I was gonna say yes if he did not call me......If that's still okay with you."I say

"It's more than ok! It's awesome! Of course you can!"He says, picking me up happily

His tail wags quickly, full off joy. I smile.

"I'm so happy! I'd love you joining me! I will keep you safe and show you whatever you want! You'll see how the real world is! Gosh I'm so happy I could just-!"He cheers

He leans in, licking and kissing my neck. My ears lower. I grip him tighter. He stops, tilting his head back and howling with joy. He looks at me like a happy puppy who was just given a treat. I feel my tail wag, seeing how happy he is.

He sets me down and holds my hand.

He digs in his pocket and pulls out a small vial. He drops it and a portal appears.

"Come with me."He says

I grip him tighter. I hop through.

I look around. The surroundings are beautiful. Much more than I've seen as I know. It was very developed and was a beautiful clearing. I look around, seeing a bunch of doors lining the horizon or what turned out to be walls.

"We can go anywhere here. This is the Midvoid. It keeps us hidden while we are here and we can go anywhere. We are safe here, but it's a big world out there."He says

"Wow....This is amazing."I say

"You can wander or explore. Feel free to just sit with me and relax."He says

I smile.

I happily wander around and explore. He sits down and smiles. At first, I was afraid to leave his sight, but I adjust to this new freedom. I explore and peek through a door. I find this empty white space, full of strings. I see this pile of brown bars and recognize them. I've seen Killer eating them. I look around, nobody is around. I go and take some, then head back. I sneak back to Killer. He's grooming his tail, cleaning it with his hands to pick bits of dirt and stuff from his tail. I place the bars behind him, thinking he'll like it, then stroll off to keep exploring.

I peek into the nearby forest and find a scarecrow with a sign saying:Train with me! Due to force of habit, I obey. 

I throw light punches and kicks, the most I knew. All I know is that. The scarecrow's sign keeps changing, giving me tips or advice like HIT HARDER or TRY THIS, followed by a diagram of steps for new defense or attack moves. I decide to keep going, knowing that this may help in the future. But I keep checking back on Killer to make sure he is there and alright.
