(S.2) Chapt.39
"Did you find them?"
"No ma'am. They've somehow escape"
"This is preposterous! Haven't you
thought of using your sniffer?"
"Uh, what about me?"
"Ugh. No Ryder, the pups."
"Well, we did ma'am, but they
cleverly blended their smell"
«———❁✿❁———»
"WHEW. . . We barely escaped them" Chase breathes out as he laid himself flat on the ground (like he hasn't awhile ago, considering he's been crawling y'know). Both Chase and Skye were equally physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted, and almost getting caught from a death trap still rattled them mentally and physically. "Skye, I think it's finally time you tell me the whole details." Chase breathes out as he tried to maneuver his broken body into a much more comfortable position, he awaits for her response as he does this "W-what?"
Seeming Skye doesn't get it, Chase grunts in irritation "You know, the part why Sweetie dislikes you so much? Because it seems that's what had gotten us in this mess. Maybe if you've had told me, we wouldn't be in this mess!!" Skye bit her lip to refrain any words slipping out from her mouth. There's about a thousand words that wants to rush out though not one of them are wanted to be said by Skye – instead keep it for herself. Although it grows more harder and harder to do so, as Chase becomes more curious and curious – he just wanted answers to understand the bigger picture, though she's not giving him any. "Why can't you tell me?! What are you hiding from me?!"
"I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU."
The Cockapoo yells as one of her guards went crashing down to the floor, and from that, she was yelling herself words full of hatred "Why not?! What's the flipping reason?!" Chase barks back, his voice louder and much angrier now, his patience had finally snapped into two little pieces and he had enough of holding then together from snapping off. The German Shepherd grew pushy and he was demanding answers, he pleaded, he did everything, though not one reason leaks out from Skye. She was a stubborn chest to open and every key of convincing never made a cut to it and seems like it gets more locked within every twist he does. Of course his words evolved from annoying to pressure, she could feel her dam about to burst – about to burst a million words she wanted to tell him, though she knows it can hurt him too. Her tears threatened to fall on her already damaged body and she did not like the idea of breaking down in front of him. She knew he's going through a lot already, and she doesn't want him to give pity to her.
"SKYE ANSWER ME."
"Because I don't want to be a burden to you!!" She yells angrily, as she breathes in and out rapidly. Chase suddenly became mute. He hushed himself as he took a good look at her – she was crying with dusted fur and sliced skin, not only was she physically fractured, but from the looks of it, she's mentally and emotionally broken too. His heart disintegrates into a million pieces upon seeing her like that, he had realized his mistakes and admits he had gone too pushy. There's something he'd like to say to her, though in his opinion, his words will just damage her more, so he remained quiet as he slowly felt the pulsing pain creep into his mind again.
As Flicker and Skye walks back to the Look-Out as the sun sets behind them, her brother looked at him "Hey Skye, I really want to remind you that. . . You should forget about the Olivia thing. It's just hurting you, and I don't want to see you hurt" He blurted out of the blue. The Cockapoo began to laugh at this "No I'm serious Skye. Forget about the things she said. You're not any of them" A lonely expression had crept into her face and her aura dimmed. The Border Collie's heart shattered into a million pieces at seeing her struggle to move on, being stuck in the past. . . He knows how it felt since he was once there too.
"Skye. You're perfect, just the way you are. I admire how you put everyone's feelings first before yours. I know you're still concerned about not satisfying Olivia, it's what us dogs want for our owners – them to be happy. But what she did to you was horrible and it's best if you stop thinking about her. You don't have to be scared of her chains anymore. You're free Skye, it's just you who's lingering longer on those loose chains." Skye soon halted on her tracks and not a moment longer, she was crying bitter tears again to his brother "But how can I—"
"How can you move on? Is to not let fear drive you. This applies to everything. If you live your life in fear, you'll regret a lot of things. And look at you, I don't think you're doing any better if you keep thinking of Olivia. Please sis, let go. If I'm a part of your hindrance to heal, I'd rather let you forget about me and Olivia if it means you'll move on and be happy with your life."
Her vile cries slowly grew a little louder upon his words; Flicker pulled her close to his chest once more as she continued to in bottle all her bottled emotions. Once more, she had dampened his chest fur, though Flicker didn't mind one bit "But bro, I really love you so much. . ."
"And I love you too. But I want you to be happy."

"Skye, why are you like this?" Rocky blurted in a slightly stern way. The Cockapoo, not-so-secretly surprised, looked at him flabbergasted "What?" She questions back, clearly confused as he is right now "Zuma told me about how you're struggling with Chase." He informs in a matter-of-factly, "I. . . I know that" she stammers but Rocky continued further "Yet you still act that way" Skye felt herself being cast a spell of silence, and between the two of them, they both know that not only will his words affect the Cockapoo itself, but so will the Mongrel. Knowing that if he doesn't speak up now, there'll be nothing to talk about as they'll leave the expanse into an awkward hushed-silence. "You know. . . Chase is not Math. You need no formula. All you need is to be there for him, and being there doesn't mean once you get to converse with him you'll need to succeed in the task, which is helping him gain his memories back."

"If you live your life in fear,
you'll regret a lot of things.
And look at you,
I don't think you're doing any
better if you keep thinking of—"
"Please sis, let go."
"—Let go. . ."
". . . Okay, I'll tell you" Skye says as she took a deep breathe. Chase, who looked up from the ground had a soft expression and made sure she will not be intimidated by his expression, he was half regretting he even questioned her, she might right. It just might damage both of them. "Sweetie. . . While I was trapped – told me why she's doing all these. She told me she likes you and would do everything to keep me away from you." Chase's face saddens hearing she'd gone through that because of him, though nothing's still piecing together into a much clearer and understandable picture. Cautiously, he questioned why she would do that, nobody told him what she did and it doesn't seem she did any harm to him in the past – the past he still can't seem to remember.
Taking another deep sigh, she proceeded to explain "She. . . She realized that. . . I l-love you so much that I'll do anything to make you happy, and she knew she doesn't stand a chance against me." Skye gulped as she felt her temperature rise up around her forehead as she continues to explain herself any further, though slowly, she felt bare in front of Chase as she one by one reveals those unsaid words to him. "I don't want you to feel like a burden and think it was your fault the reason why we all got into this mess. So, I kept the truth from you to why Sweetie's raging. But maybe. . . I should've told you sooner before things got worse. And I regret how I didn't tell you sooner. I'm sorry. . ."
Chase still sat there, completely shock to see and hear how brave she was to admit her mistakes and admit things she didn't want to say. He felt that. He admire her bravery for that and hearing she hid the truth from him to keep him from breaking down. . . He knew that probably back then, if she were to even mention this, he'd have a serious mental breakdown and blame himself back then when he and the other pups were recently discharged from the Vet. He wasn't himself in those earlier days, he was frustrated of himself that he couldn't remember anything, and no matter how his friends try to tell things from his past, he blamed his stubborn mind that it didn't entertain any of them and had dragged his amnesia for days. Chase was half thanking that she told him in a state that he was much open-minded, it was actually a blue-moon that he had a clear mind despite of what happened recently. It was probably the fact that he had an alone time with himself as Skye had a moment of hers too.
Suddenly, Chase began to laugh in a tensed situation, and this had only confused the poor Cockapoo who had went through a lot of mental thinking for herself "Hah. . . Yeah, funny I had feelings for you" She emotionlessly joked, though Chase continues to laugh "N-no! It's not that! It's the fact that, I wasn't completely honest with you too. It's because. . . Wow. Was it that feeling? Love? I thought I've gone crazy when I first saw you. Remember those times I seemed so cold to you? Yeah, well, I didn't hate you back then. I avoided you because. . . I got scared of confronting you again after our first encounter. I didn't know how to fix that rocky start, and I freak out whenever you pass by me. So to stop that, all I could do was. . . Heh, run away. "
"How can he be so smooth at saying that?! While me in the other paw had five minutes of mental breakdown to collect my courage to say all that?!" Skye mentally yells inside her head. "You know. Sweetie told me I asked her out, though it feels like I've never asked anyone out yet, have I?" Skye smiles at this as she shook her head as a response to say he hadn't asked anyone out in the past "Well. . . That's a relief" He jokes as the two of them shared a small laughter. It felt so good to finally laugh after days, or even months of feeling pressured and stressed where happiness has no place at the moment. But laughing after not doing it for so long was a huge relief. It was probably what they needed to dilute the piling problem that hurdles forth them.
Maybe all the world needs
is a little laughter
to get through things.
