Zuma's Point of View

I used to live in New Yowk City. It was fun to be in the big city, but one day, I told my ownews that I wanted to go to the beach. At first, they were a wittle weluctant about it, but when they saw my puppy eyes, they couldn't resist it, and they bought some airpwane tickets so we can go to a twopical pwace.

Charm laughed.

I was so excited when we got onto the pwane. It was all good when the pwane just took off, but befowe we could land, the pwane opewater said, "There has been a slight malfunction in the plane, but we will try our best to land the plane safely."

Evewybody in the pwane began to fweak out. Suddenly, the plane tilted and peopwe flew over to the side leaning on windows. So many peopwe were leaning on the windows that they started to cwack and they began to fall out.

Zuma needed to stop talking for a second because he felt his throat closing in. His eyes started to turn red and watery. Zuma looked up at the sky and then back at the ground again to keep the tears from forming, but they did anyway.  

I didn't fall out though because I held onto my seat. I was able to feel the wind bwow thwough my ears, but I wouldn't let go of my seat because I knew I would die if I did. The pwane cwashing into the gwound was the most painful pain wowse than you can evew imagine. It felt like a cawnival wide that's dwopping you, but instead of it catching you at the vewy end, it lets you pwummet stwaight to the gwound. I felt like all of my bones got smashed together. Thewe were no suwvivows on the pwane except fow me, a piwot, and a pewson in the westwoom. My ownews didn't make it. Although, I didn't know them vewy well because they worked all the time and I pwetty much nevew saw them, I still cwied for them. I cwied and cwied because they were the onwy  peopwe left that took cawe of me and I knew from then on, I would have to watch out for myself. I then unbuckewed my seat bewt and stawted cwawling out of the pwane.  It was pewfect timing too, because as soon as I got out of there, the whole pwane exploded. The impact thwew me to the gwound where I just laid. I wealized I was bweeding all over, but I didn't cawe. I just laid there and fell asleep.

The next day, I twied to find a sink to wash the blood off myself , and ended up finding the westauwant. I snuck inside to the bathwoom and washed the blood off of myself. 

"I hid behind a booth and was about to head out, but I saw  you. And that was how I met you," Zuma said.

"But Zuma, didn't you have a family?" Charm asked.

"I had a mom and dad, but they abandoned me, so I know nothing about them. I also had a youngew sistew..."

"What happened to your sister?" Asked Charm. 

"My sister, Elena, and I used to be weally close... but one night..." Zuma's eyes were starting to drip with tears. "While we were pwaying hide-and-seek, she hid and I counted. We had no idea a burglar was in the house while we were pwaying and while I was looking for her, I heard a sound." Zuma rubbed his eyes with his paw. When he did, some bandaids pealed off along with his tears. "A scream being abwuptly cut off. I wan toward the diwection I heawd it fwom, and I saw a man about 7 feet tall dressed in bwack holding a bwoody knife in one hand, and Elena by the neck in the othew. She had a line sliced thwough hew back...blood was dwipping out of my innocent little sistew's back..." Zuma whispered. He began to lean his head down on the ground and sob. Charm then put Zuma's head on her shoulder and cried softly. She began to hold onto him in a deep hug and never let go.

"I scweamed when I saw what the burglar did and wan wight at him to bite the awm he held his knife in and kick his knees. He fell to the gwound and I pounced onto his stomach knocking the wind out of him. He tried to stab me many times, but his knife only hit me once. Wight in the paw. I couldn't walk for about a week and couldn't walk cowwectly for a month. With the paw he didn't stab, I punched him in the face causing his head to go backwards hitting the floow knocking him out. I didn't feel the least but sowwy. I limped to the phone and called 911. They came and awwested the man and checked my sistew. They said she couldn't make it..." Zuma's tears came out like waterfalls. "I looked at my sister. Elena looked so peaceful on the fwont of her, but in the back, she was covered in blood. Blood looks stwange when it doesn't belong there. I then leaned my head down on Elena's, and gave her a good-bye kiss on her forehead. Even though it was hard for me to get over it, I knew it was her time to west in peace."

"Oh, Zuma. I'm so sorry," Charm said while holding on to Zuma. Then the two pups both feel asleep soaked in tears holding on to each other.
