Chapter 13 - Beneath the Abode

BAM! BAM!

"Guys! Gising! Pota Gising!" Ryan's voice bellowed as he desperately banged on the door.

"Si Ryan!" I exclaimed as I quickly jumped out of bed. I was only wearing boxers so I immediately grabbed my shorts from last night and frantically put them on. "Stacy, diyan ka lang muna."

Stacy was now sat upright holding the edge of the blanket to cover her chest. "Close the door when you get out, sundan ko kayo agad pagkatapos ko magsuot ng damit."

I nodded at her and opened the door. Gaya ng sabi ni Stacy, agad ko naman na sinarado ang pinto pagkalabas ko. 

"Anong nangyayari? May infected bang nakapasok?" I panicked and held both of his shoulders.

"May aso, pota ang cute tara samahan mo ko." Ryan exclaimed as he pulled my arm. "Tulog pa ba si Stacy?"

SMACK

I hit his head. "Walang hiya ka pala eh kita mong natutulog ng mahimbing. Aso lang naman pala, couldn't you wait for us to wake up?" I scolded him. There goes a few more hours of sleep.

To be honest though, it's weird seeing Ryan in such a happy go luck state. Most of a time, he's either pissed or just doesn't care about anything. I guess he has a soft spot for dogs.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto at agad na lumabas si Stacy. She just finished putting her shirt on by the time she got out. "Anong nangyayari?"

I sighed as my eyes moved from Stacy to Ryan. "He went gaga over a dog," I told her.

"OMG, asan?" Stacy squealed. "Anong breed? Tara puntahan natin."

I couldn't even manage to blurt out a word when they rushed downstairs with grins plastered on their faces. I sighed as I went back to the room. Sa pagmamadali ko, naiwan ko nalang ang damit ko.

Nang makarating ako sa baba, nakita ko ang dalawa na nakaupo sa sahig sa baba ng hagdan. What the hell. What they were petting wasn't just an ordinary domesticated dog. 

"Is that a-"

"Wolf! There's no doubt about it!" Stacy cut me off as she beamed in amazement. "It's an actual wolf! She's a cute girl too."

Dali dali naman akong bumaba para lapitan ang dalawa na walang pagod na niyayakap ang mabalahibong lobo.

She was around 2 and a half feet tall and 4 feet long. Light gray fur covered her body with streaks of brown going along the top of its head down to the tip of her tail. She's pretty calm If I were to say. Wolves are normally vicious but this one seems to love the way Ryan scratched her chin.

"I'm surprised it hasn't bitten you yet," I told them. 

"She looks tamed," Ryan answered.

"Wolves can never be tamed," Stacy told him. "Though they can be nice, hindi pa rin mawawala ang kanilang wild na side."

Well she's right about that. Nagresearch kasi ako a long time ago after watching episodes of GoT kung may way ba na mag-alaga ng wolf. And like what Stacy told, they will always be wild animals.
