How wrong I was. I had attracted a gruesome creature, made of metal and spitting orange fluid from its head. It was a hideous thing, Mother, hiding under a tattered cloak. I didn't realize at the time how bad the situation was. Kaori came to my aid, fighting blade to blade with it. We didn't come out of that unscathed.
I was shot, hit in my shoulder and thigh while trying to dodge a barrage of bullets.
Mother, Father, did you know?
Bullets hurt....a LOT.
I had to be carried back to the den, bleeding the whole way. The good news, Mother and Father, is that the Pack has wonderful doctors, just like you. Alayni treated me, with the help of a curious floating robot named ChiChi.
Over time, she introduced me to her human friend Kiiko. She is a trustworthy human though, and seems nice, if easily scared of needles. Kiiko does not seem to be a Pack member, but is allowed to enter the Den.
Another ray of hope in this grim predicament? I am no longer considered a pup within the pack, but a Canis. I will prove myself to them, just watch. I will make you very proud of me.
But first, I must get better.
