The cold and unpleasant wind beat my body, after I left the cave with sadness. But I didn't feel cold because of my long and good fur. Where was I going? Who knew. Well, I went in place, where I would able to feeling myself better. But, tecnically, I didn't know what that place was. And could I feel better after my mom's death? When was the last time when I was happy or just satisfied? Technically, the last time was ... when I was a pony. Of course, being a dog had own pluses, but ... Oh, that was really "nice", the rain was going to begin. Technically, I should hide somewhere. Too bad, I was going on the field, so I didn't have a chance to hide. Hopefully, it was small rain. I guessed it would end soon.
How did my life change after my mom's leaving? Well, technically, I started own dog life without anypony's (or anycreature's) helping. I hunted by myself and ate mice, gross (if I was too hungry, but my hunt failed. Too bad, I had had stomach ache after that). I had to do everything to survive. Technically, I should add, my surviving skills became better. I mean, I stayed alive and was staying alive. It was hard first, but it became into habit later. I didn't want to die (I was saying it even after reborning, it wasn't strange, okay?). Death in two times was too extreme for me. That's why I didn't stop in my way. But, technically, I hoped the way would end, and I would become happy (or simple satisfied) again. I had to admit, sometimes Mudbriar had too much hopes.
Too bad, I was alone. Well, technically, sometimes I saw ponies, who walked or went somewhere (ponies could feed me or hit me, so I tried go away from them as my mom told), but it wasn't same. I knew the reason of that. I missed Maud, I wanted she would be here. Somewhere, in the deepest place of my soul, I hoped to find her. I tried ignore that hope, but it wasn't possible. I loved her so much, so dreams about being with her again were valuable for me (even if you considered them silly, I didn't care). Besides, that hope gave me forces to continue my way.
One day I sniffed something unpleasant and familiar. And later I heard the screaming. What was going on? I decided to explore it, so I ran on the sound. The smell and the screaming became stronger and stronger.
"Please, let me go!" The female voice pleased with crying. Two male voices laughed, and I heard sound of hitting. They hit the mare.
"My dear friend, she is so nice, silly and naive, am I right?"
"Yeah, and if she wants to stay alive, she should calm down and shut up! I hate when somepony is screaming."
O my gosh, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. That were ponies, who killed me! And now that jerks caught little mare and didn't let her go. Nopony heard her cries, so stallions weren't scary. Technically, no, they killed me, and now I was going to revenge and safe this mare. I wasn't going let them doing everything they wanted, especially after they did with me.
That's why I ran on them and attacked. My teeth were sharp, and I bit them. The mare became free and ran away. Two stallionsscreamed because of pain and tried to hit me, but I was faster (thanks for dog body). Plus, the darkness of the night helped me. My bites were as strong and painful as I could. That was my unexpected and cruel revenge.
Two stallions gave up and ran away, covering me with bad words. But I didn't care, technically, theu deserved that.
"Thank you so much, little buddy". The mare came to me and said, smoothing the fur on my head. I knew her. Her name was Octavia Melody. "What did you do here? Do you have a owner?"
I looked on her, hinting her on the "no" answer. She understoood me. How? I didn't know. Maybe I had too clever eyes or she was so clever pony.
"Oh, poor little thing. You ase so slim. Eat it please. You will feel yourself better, I swear". She said and gave me a piece of ... I didn't have any idea (maybe a piece of meat), but I ate it because I was so hungry. And she was right: I felt myself better a little.
"Tasty, isn't it? I hope you like it. You are so smart dog. Hey, I have an idea. What do you think about being my dog? Vinyl will be so glad". Octavia asked me ans waited my answer.
Her suggestion sounded nice, interesting and pleasant, but I had to refuse from it. Technically, I couldn't be domestic dog because of my past. Besides, I had a goal of my way. And it was Maud. Plus, Vinyl was Octavia's neighbor, who liked loud music. And I couldn't stand loud music. I had enough reasons not to stay and continue my way.
That's why I turned in other side and went from her, looking on Octavia in the last time. She didn't try stop me. She was understanding pony.
"I see, you have own mission. Vinyl and me would like have you as our pet, but I understand. I hope you will find the thing that you are looking for. Thank you again and good luck, little dog!" Octavia said and went home. I guessed Vinyl had already waited her. They were best friends as I guessed.
"Thanks". I thanked her in my mind and went in other side. The good thing was the rain was ending. I felt myself better as I mentioned, because I could safe Octavia and revenge that bad ponies. Now they wouldn't torment other ponies again. But technically, my way wasn't ended. I thought it was only the beginning.
