Rise of The Queen (Complete)

Chapter 16

The next day, the girl came again, "Doggie!" She ran to him.

"I'm not a dog!" He hissed at her.

She nodded as if she understood but again with a bright smile she exclaimed, "Doggie!"

He rolled his eyes, "Since when did dogs start to talk, you dumb girl?" She wasn't listening to him anymore as she chased after a butterfly, he sighed, "stop running around, that's dangerous," he followed her.

He didn't know humans lived there, they weren't supposed to.

"Are you lost again?" He asked but didn't get any response.

He stayed with her the entire day following her around, "You should get back home, human," He told her but she wasn't listening as she went deeper into the woods.

His ears picked up the footsteps, any further and she'd be in danger, he shook his head, walking ahead of her he stood still, blocking her path.

She looked at him with questioning eyes, "No more beyond this," he shook his head.

For the first time, she listened to him and turned around, "Finally," He sighed, the relief was only for a moment when she turned again and ran ahead, he immediately ran after her and picked her, grabbing her collar by his teeth, "You're 100 years too early, human," he muttered as he walked towards the periphery of the forest, the girl was enjoying the ride, she opened her arms and flapping them mimicking the birds flapping their wings, he dropped her on the ground.

The girl glared at him for interrupting her flight, she began to run again into the deeper side of the forest, in an instant, her flight resumed as he picked her up and brought her back.

After repeating this fewer times, he growled at her fiercely, "Enough!"

The girl flinched.

"Go Home!" He glared at her.

The tears pooled her eyes, her bottom lips quivered, big fat drops fell down her eyes trickling down her cheeks, suddenly his chest tightened feeling the pain he couldn't describe, he sighed in defeat, "what have I gotten myself into?" He then picked her up again, her face lightened up, in an instant she was smiling again as he dropped her home.

The next day, she came again, with no one to play with she was excited now that she found a friend or a pet may be, she picked up the stick and threw it in the air, "Fetch" she shouted mimicking the person she had watched on the TV last night, the wooden stick glided across and landed a meter away.

This thing was getting on his nerves now, "for the last time, I am not a dog!" He growled as he tried to clarify but as if she listened! Her eyes sparkled as she threw another stick and shouted again, "Fetch!"

"Are you even listening?" He shouted.

When nothing he said reached her with no choice but to comply, he sighed and fetched the sticks back to her.

She clapped and patted him as a gesture of appreciation, "Good boy," She grinned with satisfaction.

"Satisfied? Now, let's get you back home," He said but she shook her head, she wanted to stay with him more, meeting him and spending time with him was the only thing she looked forward to every day, he sighed as she picked the stick and threw it again.

The next day, he was beaten up pretty badly, the training was just too much if you could actually call that training, he was in pain with multiple injuries which bled continuously, but instead of getting his rest at the camp, he waited for the human girl to show up, he was sitting there in his human form, he'd clarify her doubts of him being a dog, he thought, that way she might run away and never come back, little did he know that the girl had grown on him and despite he was injured badly he only waited for her to just see the sight of her.
