Rise of The Queen (Complete)

Chapter 4

"Alexa, no running into the woods." Her mother scolded her 6 yrs old daughter at her hundredth attempts. Their small house located at the end of the wild forest. They had been changing places, moving from one city to another. Most of the places they moved to were near the forest, the kid didn't have any friends to play with so she always ran into the forest.

When her mother was busy making her dinner, the girl again ran away to have her adventure.

She hummed as she made her way inside. Her eyes teared when she didn't find what or whom she was searching for. When she spotted the black-furred animal lying on the ground, her eyes sparkled as she recognized him, the one who guided her back home multiple times when she got lost.

"Doggie!" She called out excitedly.

"Not again!" He grunted as he passed out.

"It's the talking doggie!" She ran to the big-sized dog, unlike other dogs he was large but she hadn't seen normal dogs to compare him with.

She got close and called out to him when she didn't get any response, she hit him. "Doggie? Wake up!"

She almost cried when he didn't open his eyes, "Doggie?" She called out to the unconscious animal.

Finally, she noticed his body covered in wounds, "Doggie..hurt...doggie!" She shook it.

When the dog didn't respond, she ran over to her house and brought a medical kit. When she reached the spot the dog was awake, she smiled "Doggie!" The dog flinched and tried to run but he couldn't, his legs were injured. She opened the ointment and applied to its wound, "Pain, pain go away." She sang as she blew on it. The spell worked the wound healed, they literally closed up in a second.

"How did you do that?" He blinked at the girl. When she heard him talk again, she hugged him excitedly.

"Alexa!" They heard her mother shout.

"Did you run away again?" He sighed shaking his head.

"I came to meet." She replied.

"You're stupid. Your mom she's more stupid. Who leaves her child alone in this dangerous place?

Why do you humans live here anyway? It's dangerous." He scolded her. None of the words registered in her mind. She just grinned, staring at him with amusement.

"Go to your mom and don't ever wander alone inside the forest again." He warned her as he began to walk away.

"You going, Doggie?" She asked.

"For the last time I'm not a dog, dogs don't talk!" He glared at her.

"Doggie!" She cheered.

"Forget it. I'm just hitting my head against the wall," he rolled his eyes as he turned his back.

"No!" She ran behind him but tripped on the way and landed on her butt with a thud.

He stopped as she began to cry.

"God! What a troublemaker!" He sighed as he turned to her. She immediately stopped crying and smiled at him wiping her tears.

"Come." He lowered down as he let her climb on his back. On their way back home she rested her cheeks against his shiny black fur, soft as velvet, enjoying the feel of it she dozed off.

When she woke up, she was sleeping on the front porch. Her mom was crying holding her close, "Thank god, you're okay. I was so worried when I didn't find you."
