Forever and Ever Hun 5

     I woke up the next morning with Scott curled at her side.She shook Scott a little to wake him up.

"Hm?"He said in a sleepy voice.

"I just want you to know I respect your father for helping my family out and I wish I could thank him."I said.

"Oh.Thanks.If only I knew that the grey dog was your father and known what was going to happen."Scott said.

"Why?,"I ask.

"Because I would have tried to stop him so it wouldn't cause you all this grief."Scott said.

"That's okay it doesn't really bother me anymore,"I admit.

"Wait....what?!You were upset for weeks!You could barely talk,it took all you will power just to tell us why you were so sad!"Scatt said suprised and confused.

"Scott I need to tell you something,"I say.

"What?"Scatt asks.

"I'm going to tell this to you right off the bat.I see my father in my dreams.He talks to me.He warned my about being careful during training but he won't tell me why."I say quickly.

"What?Are you nuts!"Scott says,

"If you don't believe me then just wait until training.Something bad is going to happen to me,I just don't know what."I say.

"I-I-I believe you,sort of.I don't want anything bad to happen to you though."Scott says looking at his paws.

"Okay.That's a little better than saying I'm nuts.Thanks for sort of believing me."I say and lick his cheek.

He looks up at me when do that and just stares wide eyed.I look down at my paws.What am I doing?I think.

"So.Umm.Do you like training so far?"He asks.Obviously trying to change the subject.

"I love it!I've always loved running!"I say.

"Yeah I've noticed.I could barely keep up with you."He admits.

"Sorry about that.You do realize my mom loved running and my dad is a husky,aka born to be a sled dog."I say.

"Oh,what about your brothers?Do they love running as much as you?"He asks.

"No.Not even close.From the day I learned how to walk I wanted to get out of our cave and run.I was also the first one to learn how to walk.I taught myself,"I say.

"That's cool.My dad taught me.I've always liked running to but neither of my parents like running."He says.

Dimitri walked in the door and looked around the room.

"Annabell,Scott!"He called,"Time for training!"He added.

"Oh no."I say and Scott and I stand up and walk towards Dimitri,glancing at eachother every few seconds.

     Dimitri put the harnesses on us and off we went.I didn't try to go as fast this time.I was much more careful.Once I was convinced that nothing was gonig to happen I concentrated on my speed again.I let the thought slip that I was going to get hurt and ran as fast as I could.

     I closed my eyes and ran faster and faster.Then out of no where I felt a shrp stabbing pain in my paw.I collapsed and was dragged by Scott.I was slipping into darkness but right before I sank into it I saw Scott staring at me and trying to slow down without making the sled fly forward anf hit me.I heard a crack then slipped into darkness.......

     I sat in the forest waiting for my father.He walked out of the familiar comforting light like usual.I walk towards him,yet I feel no pain.I know I'm hurt I just don't feel it.

"Hey dad."I say as I get closer and nuzzle him quickly.

"Hey hun,"He said.

"Dad,Why didn't you tell me?"I ask.

"I can't.It's a rule.I can visit my family's dreams but I can't tell them their future."He answers.

"Oh."I say.

"Yeah.I told you to be careful even if-"He started but I cut him off.

"Dad,stop.I need to ask you something."I say.

"What?"He asks.

"I want you to tell Scott's father that I said thank you and that Scott misses him and loves him."I say.

"I will,"He says then fades away again.

"Bye!I love you!"I say.

"Forever and-"I cut him off again.

"Ever hun,"I finnish.

     I wake up at home in my bed.I immiediately feel pain in my left paw and some stinging across my eye.I look down and I have a cast on my paw.

"Great."I grumble as I look around the room.Scott is a few feet away and everyone else is staring at me from different parts of the room.

Scott wakes up and sees me.

"Annabell,your awake.Finaly."Scot says scooting next to me.

"Yeah.What the heck is that burning across my eye?"I ask rubbing it with me good paw.

"You have a scratch right acoss your left eye.You'll probably have a scar there now."He answers.

"That's just terrific,"I say grumpily.I try to stand up to go get a drink but then I immiediately collapse because of shooting pain in my paw.

"Danget."I say.

"Yeah.You should probabaly stay off of it.I'll bring the bowl over here."Scott said.He stood up and grabbed the bowl in his mouth and carried it over to me.He set it down carefully in front of me.

"Thanks,"I say and drink from the bowl.When I'm finnished I look up.

"So do you believe me now?"I ask smirking.

"Yeah I do."Scott said.

"Good.I told my dad to tell your dad that I said thank you and that you miss him and love him,"I say.

"Oh.Does that mean he's going to visit me in my dreams?"He asks.

"I don't know.It's his decision."I say.
