Can't Woof It Out | Chase x Skye [Book One] ✔⚙ - (S.2) Chapt.32 - Page 3 (2024)

 
 The race ended up with a tie and as soon as the step afoot on the very tippy-top of the mountain, both of them couldn't stop but awe at the beautiful view that's held before them. A view so beautiful that could make you she'd a tear with a million reasons, when he felt he'd seen enough, he told Skye he'll just be finding a stick for them play with- fetch. She seems to be in with the idea so she allowed him and he ran off to some trees in hope there were twigs or fallen small branches laying on the grassy ground. "Which stick's perfect?" He hypothetically asked himself once he found a bunch of it laying around nearby the foot of the trees. As he skims his blue-hued irises, he made a delighted sound upon finally finding the perfect stick they could toy with. Feeling satisfied, he picked it up and rushed towards Skye and to his horror, found Olivia— that one person he trusted the most aside from Skye – pushed his sister. 
 
 Anger fogged his mind and nothing came into his senses but the thing that would happen to Skye. He feared that she wouldn't survive the great fall "HOW DARE YOU?!" He yells as he attempts to rescue her by trailing behind her and kept a lot of hope with him and prayed that she'll be alright. That she can survive and hopefully he'll find her soon, but seems like Olivia didn't like the idea so she immediately snapped a hook that hooks itself to an eye on his collar that refrains him from running off farther from her. He was helpless and he couldn't control himself, he wanted to bite her but he couldn't as she wittily carried him back to the car without getting bitten. Even he was surprised he didn't attempt to bite her; maybe he was driven by fear that she could potentially kill him, an event that could be far worse than what Skye went through. So for all the years he was alive, he attempted to escape home to just find her, but seems that bad luck was always clouding above him that every timehe would attempt, Olivia's somehow a step ahead from him. He only recently was allowed to travel on his own when his own fire of determination and hope slowly died and turned into nothing but embers that would soon slowly turn into nothing as well. And when Olivia was sure Flicker wouldn't attempt to find her again, he was free.

 But Flicker feels otherwise. He's still drowning in the sea of memories he and Skye made. Her laugh haunted him to sleep, her face still visits him everyday, and her sweet affection she showered her brother with – up to that moment, he could still feel her ghost brushing upon him. Everyday he was struggling to surface up and couldn't think of anything but his missing sister. Trying his best to wipe all of his memory of her away from his mind. And the day of actually being mentally free soon came to an end and had finally acceptedthat she was gone and wished her a good life in the afterlife. Time went easy on him and continued it without Skye and then from third place, he became the champion in every contest Olivia entered him and dedicated every trophy and medal he earned to Skye as something to keep the memory of her alive. 
 
 "So. . . You did try. . . " She whispered to the thin air, Flicker pulled her close to a hug "Yeah, so there's no reason to be mad, okay?" Skye began to weep in the midst of their hug, and made his chest-fur all soaked with the bitter tears she bottled a long time ago. Ancient tears she couldn't bring herself to unbottle and let it flow; the Border Collie couldn't careless if he slowly grew damp from her tears, what matters to him was the sun was still rising and setting, the moon still high above them, stars that kept scintillating in the darkest nights, and this very moment where he could finally hold her in his arms and replace all those voided days where all they felt was grief and loneliness. It wasn't long before Flicker himself gave in to the wave of emotions that wanted to rush out of him. As they stood there in the middle of a busy city, his tears poured down as well as he pulled her much closer to him.
