Chapter 4: Woof Woof
(To inform you this is Nikita's POV)
I sat in Natty's lap as the two girls, I think it was Singer and Stryde, drove us back to their house. Once we were there, Natty placed me on the ground, so I can go do my own business. While I was sniffing around for a spot, I heard a gun shot. I winced in fear and ran back to Natty. "What was that?" Natty asked. "Probably a shoot off, or bounty hunters," Stryde said, shrugging it off and walking back inside. I don't know why, but I smelt a scent that was familiar, sort of like......Noru! I started running in the direction I heard the gunshot from. Behind me, I heard Natty yelling, "Nikita! Come back!" I kept running, until I stopped to make sure I was going the right way. Natty, Stryed, and Singer stopped next to me, out of breath. "Nikita....what's wrong?" I started barking in the direction, and took off again. "Not again," I heard Singer say behind me.
After awhile of running, I came back to our house. My first home I ever lived in. It was in pieces, shattered, in a grave. I sat in front of the door and wined. Natty looked at the house. I could tell in her eyes, that she was about to cry. "We'll stand by the door, you can go inside," Singer said, taking out her gun. Stryde did the same and took position. "Okay, just give me a few minutes," Natty said, walking through the door. When she pushed it, it fell down. She just stared at it for a few seconds, and then walked inside. "Miss Natty?" I heard a voice say. Me and Natty looked at the direction the voice came in, and sure enough, it was Noru. "Noru! It's you!" Natty went up to him and gave him a sort of hug. "It is very good to see you Natty. Where is your sister?" "I-I don't know. She wasn't there in the chamber when I came out." Noru did some robot noises and then said, "Maybe your parents found her." Natty shrugged and said, "I'm not sure." Singer walked inside and said, "The two guys are back, but with someone else." "Who?" I sniffed out metal, but a big one. "Power armor." "What's that?" Natty asked. "It is a sort of armor that is considered to be the strongest armor on Earth," Noru said. "Stay in here with your robot friend. Come one Nikita," Singer said, motioning for me to follow her. I did so and sat next to Stryde. She pet me and smiled. "Why are you so cute?" I barked, in a playful way, and licked her. She giggled and hugged me. Three guys came up to us. I knew two of them from earlier, but not the third guy. "Hey guys! How you been?" Snooper, I think his name was, said. "Fine, just looting some houses," Singer said. "Cool. We decided to come back and make sure Natty is here." Sector said. "What am I supposed to be looking for?" The guy in big armor said. I looked up at him and winced in fear. I ran behind Stryde, since I wasn't allowed to go near Natty right now. "Oh, sorry there dog," The guy said. "Who is this guy?" Singer asked, pointing at the guy. "Oh, this is my old friend, James," Snooper said, patting James' armor. "Yep, I should take this off before it runs out of batteries." There were some wiring and weird mechanical noises until the front opened to reveal a boy with dirty brown hair and everyday clothes, that were dirty, of course. "That's much better," He said, stretching out his arms. "Well, now that you're comfortable, can you tell us why you called him?" Stryde said, picking me up. I got used to her that I like her picking me up. I licked her face and barked. She did a shush motion and kissed my nose. "I thought he would be helpful for some assistance," Sector said, taking out a knife. "Oh, interrogation I see," Singer said, rolling her eyes. I jumped out of Stryde's hands and started barking at James. "Feisty one?" He tried petting me, but I refused, I literally almost bit him. "Nikita! Stop it!" Stryde shouted at me, trying to stop me. I kept barking, and barking at James. I don't want him to hurt Natty! "Come one on dog! Let us through?" Sector said, trying to get into the house. I bit his leg as hard as I could. He shouted in pain and I let him go. Snooper pointed a deagle at me. "You better not hurt my friends you dog!" I growled at him and blocked the door. "I'm so sorry for Nikita," Stryde said, looking at the mark I gave Sector. He deserved it..... "What's wrong Nikita?" Singer said, trying to act normal. I growled and looked at the door. She winked at me and said, "She is just over protective of us." "That makes....sense...not!" Sector said, holding his injured leg. I scoffed, but they probably heard a bark or something. I walked inside, without even looking back. To make it look like everything was normal, I sniffed around until I was inside. Once I was inside, I walked up to Noru and said, "Where is Natty?" He looked down at me and said, "Hiding in her room." I nodded and walked to her room. I looked back and said, "How can you understand me again?" "Oh, I have an animal translate chip filed into my program." "That makes total since to a dog." He did some robotic noise, some what like a scoff, and then went outside. I walked into Natty's bedroom, or what I think it was. I barked a couple times until Natty came out of a broken wardrobe. "Shh, I don't want to get spotted." I did a friendly woof and sat at her feet. She smiled and petted me. "Only if I could understand you, that would be amazing!" "Yeah, that would be amazing," I said to myself, I knew she wouldn't understand. But, she then looked at me funny. "Did you just, talk?" I looked around and said, "I think she's going crazy." "I'm not crazy! I can understand you!" "Repeat what I say....hi," I said, testing to make sure. "Repeat what I say, hi." "How?" She shrugged and said, "I don't know, the vault maybe?" I somewhat shrugged. "Is is safe for me to come outside?" I shook my head and said, "No, not yet at least." "Okay, come get me when they leave." I nodded and rubbed my head on her leg. She petted me again and went back into the closet. I went back outside, to see no one there. I barked and sniffed. Something was messing up my senses. "Noru! Noru!" I shouted. I then heard a gun reload next to me. I look to my left and see Snooper with a deagle pointed at my face. "Better stay still doggy." I growled and crouched, ready to spring at him any minute now. "Oh no, the little doggy is going to bite me...just like you did to you my friend!" He slowly pushed down on the trigger. "Stop!" Natty came running out of the house and stood in front of me. "Looky here. If it isn't Natty Flowers." "Really?" Sector asked, limping over next to Snooper. "Yep, James, you know what to do." I heard a stomp behind me, I turned around and saw the huge robot suit. "What the heck?!" "You are coming with us," James said through the speakers. "Wh...." Then a huge explosion happened at the feet of the robot. "Ahhhh!" James shouted as the robot suit fell backwards. I looked at the direction the bomb or whatever was thrown and saw Singer with a rifle. "Run Natty!" Stryde shouted, starting to fire her arrows. One arrow landed next to Snooper and it blow up. Snooper was flung about 20 feet away with a loud thud. "Snooper!" Sector shouted, aiming his sniper. "What are you waiting for!?" Singer shouted at Natty. "Will I see you again?!" Natty shouted back. "Follow your pip-boy!" Stryde shouted, pointing at her weird watch thing on her arm. She looked at it and started clicking some buttons. "Okay! See you there!" Singer and Stryde did a thumbs up and continued fighting. Natty motioned me to follow and I did so. We started running for awhile until we were far enough. "Wh-who....was...that?" She asked me, panting between words. I scratched an itchy part on my neck and said, "They guy in the huge armor was James." She nodded and started walking, constantly looking at the pip-boy. "Where are we going anyways?" I asked. "To wherever this pip-boy thing is taking us." I laughed, in a sarcastic way and said, "That's hilarious, but where are we go.... wait! Where's Noru!?" Natty looked blankly at me and did an uh sound. "We have to get him!" I shouted to her, about to run. "Wait Nikita, we can't go back." "We have to! Noru needs us!" I hesitated for a minute, but then ran. I had to help him, he was the first thing that talked and understood me. Behind me, I heard Natty yelling and screaming for me to come back. "Noru would want us to live!" I heard her yell. I stopped dead in my tracks and huffed. "But... *Huff* he needs us," I said, collapsing on the floor. "Nikita!" I heard her yell, running to my side. I kept huffing and breathing heavily. "Nikita, what's wrong?" What is wrong? I've never been this tired before..... "I.....don't...know," I said, breathing between words. She petted me slowly, trying to calm me down. "Why don't we get you somewhere to rest?" I shook my head and slowly sat up and fell back down. "But, what about Noru?" I asked. "He'll be fine," She said, in a calm voice. I shook my head and yelled, "No!" I quickly got up and started running again. I ran all the way back to the house. All the gun firing stopped. I went around the house to the front and saw the three boys tied up, the two girls looking at a robot on the ground...wait? Noru?! I ran over to Noru and nudged him a bit. "Noru?" Nothing. Natty caught up with me and said, "What happened?" "Caught these two and found your robot helped out alot." Singer said. One of them had a bleeding leg, I think his name was James...but I don't really care. Natty went up to the three boys and kicked them. "What did you do to Noru?!" Snooper looked at her and scoffed. "Only thing we did was give him a piece of our mind."
