Ruby: Nightmare

4 min read
Too many.... too many of us have fallen. The think stench of death and suffering seemed to take over the air, every breath I took made me sink deeper and deeper into a sense of panic. There was only one dog I was looking for, Geronimo. My eyes desperately searched for a glimse of white or grey, the slightest sniff of his scent, or the sound of his comforting and soothing voice, but there was nothing like that. Blood and the bodies of my friends and enemies covered the floor, though I could not remember how we got to this point there was no question in my mind what was going on, war. Didn't matter who or what started it I knew i had to find Geronimo, I needed to find him. Though he was strong and dangerously intelligent, out numbered as we were, he stood so little of a chance. I was running with no destination, the snarling and yelping overpowered the sound of my paws hitting the cold floor as I dodged the still warm bodies of the fallen. I did not dare look at their faces, I was terrified that if I did I might see someone I loved or cared about, or a call for help, a weak dying dog asking for me to somehow save them. Oh god what have we done? I muttered to myself as I continued to run. Without warning I was knocked over by two dogs at each others throats, their blood landing and staining my pelt and I scrambled out of the fight, I looked back at the scene before one of them let out their last breath and fell to the floor. A gasp was let out from my throat  causing the winning dog to turn my way.. i had no time for fighting I had to find geromino, I turned on my heels pushing myself to run faster and faster than I knew I could. Slowly I lost my aggressor, my pace slowed only slightly as I looked frantically around for him. Suddenly a flash of White amongst the dull colors of war "Geronimo!" I turned to his direction, loosing sight of him for only a second as I ducked under and larger dog. "Looking for this Ruby?" spoke the shadowy figure who had Geromino in his maw, whose grey pelt now dark red with blood, his body covered in wounds beyond repair or healing, he couldn't be gone, what have I done to deserve this, what had he done?. I felt rage build up side me, an sense of anger I have yet to ever feel, over powering all other emotions I could possibly be experiencing at that moment, "LET HIM GO!". A sickening laugh came from the dark male, "As you wish, pity you didn't get to say goodbye to your foolish friend.". Tears rolled down my cheeks as my whole life seemed to fall apart in front of me, he was speaking the truth...Geromino was..

-------
I woke woke with a start, tears streaming down my face and onto the floor. I was shaking, as if my body was rejecting what I had just witnessed, "It was just a dream...." I let out a sigh of relief before raising my forepaw to wipe my salty tears from my cheeks, "He's okay."





Sorry for my terrible writing this was rushed cause I just wanted it to be done :D
This was ALL A DREAM NO ONE IS HURT OR DEAD

I will never leave you by alexwolflover777

"Geronimo" I spoke his name before taking a small moment to gather my thoughts, "I will never leave you"

Ruby

I felt the space between us close, I put no protest to this, as I normally would. When I was with him, I felt like I was secure, safe, and protected. As if I was untouchable by any threat or harm. I leaned against him as my gaze returned to the stars, "What would we be getting ourselves into?" I muttered.

Geronimo

I looked at her as she leaned on me, and smiled slightly."You'd be okay. I'd want you to stop following me if things get too crazy, anyway" I spoke with a grim tone, I was confident we could that war, if we ever fought it. However it would be very dangerous and dogs would die along the way.

Ruby

"But where else would I want to be if I wasn't with you" I turned my head to face him, his cold gaze locked with mine. He was right, what would happen to me, or him, if this ever got too far.... we would die. the pack would be torn apart, everyone I care about could be hurt or worse, and depending on who's side they pick, either by me or those loyal to Koa. 

It's funny how my views on Koa have changed, I went from respecting is tactics to seeing him as one more thing that's in my way. "Koa is no longer my Alpha."

Geronimo

My eyes softened as they met hers. "But if I were to get killed, I wouldn't want you to be the next one." I muttered, I had to remind myself this was all hypothetic. 

"Koa was never my Alpha." My comment came out with a small growl, I hated him. The thought of him defeating me was worse than death to me. How would I ever deal with that all my life? I had the feeling that Koa would spare my life just because it would be worse for me to live after defeat that to be killed on battle.

"I understand" I returned with a mutter as we spoke.
"We could do this Geronimo, have faith in our abilities" I gave him a charming smirk.

"I do." I replied, returning her the smile. Yes, I did. I had Ruby. The stars shone wildly, the sky was navy blue and slightly orange, I barely knew why Ruby and I enjoyed stars so much. I barely knew how I got here, speaking to her. I briefly remembered our moments together. "Thank you so much, Ruby..."

She leaned on me even more at that point, taking in the warmth I provided. 
"You are very much welcome"

I smiled. I wanted to eat, but I didn't want to move. I would do anything just to stay quiet with her for hours.

Ruby

I let out a sign of relief as we laid beside each other 
"What about the other packs?" I considered for a second, "I'm sure that they would like to kill off the Vryheid as much as anyone."

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

"They probably would want to help us... but we would have to make sure that they're worthy of trust ." I replied, Ruby had a point there. Koa was the other packs' worst enemy. I had a few dogs in mind who could want to help us and our cause."How would I win a one-on-one fight with him, though? I might be physically bigger than him, but he has much more experience." My last question came out with a sigh, Ruby wouldn't have an answer to it, and I didn't expect her to, but it was a constant damage to my self-pride, and I knew that it was the reason I would never be able to rebel against him.

Ruby

I gave him a look which showed my empathy for him at this moment, how would he win against Koa? My mind raced for an answer but none of my flashing ideas stuck out.

We would have to have an element of pure surprise, "We need his trust, you must convince him you are trust worthy and are loyal to him. The second he questions your loyalty to him or the pack..." I trailed off, not wanting to think of the terrible things that could happen to Geronimo if we were to be discovered. 
I moved my head slightly closer to my friend, giving him a slight nudge under his chin, hoping to give him some comfort or support, "You always have me to watch your back"

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

I gave her head an affectionate lick as she nudged me. I was grateful for her company. She'd shown me she really cared, and I appreciated that. I licked my lips slightly. "Thank you... Your company is comforting." I couldn't deciphrate what was going through my head, it was a feeling of hopelessness mixed with anxiety, I just had something on mind that I couldn't shrug off. "Please, Ruby... Whatever happens..." I started, making a long pause to think about the words I was going to use. My mind was a hurricane of thoughts and feelings, everything was so blurry and confusing. There were few dogs I enjoyed the company of, but now, I would never be able to be as strong without hers. "... Don't leave me alone"

Ruby

I closed my eyes for a moment, I wanted to draw out this moment as long as I could. Nothing could bother either of us, we were untouchable by any threat as of right now. Being on the rooftop with him made me feel in control, as if I was part of something bigger than myself, the Alpha of my life.

"Geronimo" I spoke his name before taking a small moment to gather my thoughts, "I will never leave you"

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

I glared at the sky, trying to take in all of the scents and sights of the universe. Everything was too beautiful, too perfect. I could've stayed like this for hours, sitting quietly in that house's rooftop, through blizzards and through storms. Her words echoed in my ears: ‘I'll never leave you...’ She'd never leave me. ‘I'll never leave you.’ We could get through this. That's when I realized how much I’d missed her and her company, her comments and comforting scent. “I won't, I won't leave you either.” I spoke finally, my voice was as low as a whisper. 

ruby icon thing by alexwolflover777
Ruby

"I know" I whispered faintly, my words turned into the small puffs of fog that vanished into the cold night sky. Each second I was there, the more I knew I was going to miss this moment once it was over. My peaceful life was ending soon but this would be one memory I'd hold on to for a long time. I never imagined that I would ever feel like this, ever get so close to someone and yet still feel entirely myself. No, I have become a better version of myself, Geronimo has made me better, I could now focus on what was important in my life, the only good I have found in a long time, my dearest friend.

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

I closed my eyes to enjoy the moment. I knew I would cherish it for all my life. Now, there was no turning back. I'd completely opened up to Ruby, and now we both knew how strongly we felt about Koa. However, it all felt reassuring, and that was why I hoped this moment would last forever.

• • •

I opened our shack's wooden door slowly, hanging one paw in the direction of it to let Ruby know she could get inside first. It was almost dawn, and the sun was starting to show its red flames from the very bottom of the sky. The stars had started to disappear into the sunlight. I sighed slightly, I would be missing them for hours, it was a pity that they appeared only during night time.

I followed her inside the shack with tired paws. Indoors, there were a few chairs, an old couch, a rusty heater and a window. I gave a small yawn. Right now, the stained red fabric of that two-person couch seemed like Paradise to my aching body. I curled up right on it, giving Ruby a stare. "Will you spend the night here?"

Ruby

My body felt so tired, I hadn't felt this exhausted since I'd ran away, but yet this didn't bother me. As if the fun and pure enjoyment I experienced with Geronimo covered the pain and blinded me from it.

"I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather stay." I smiled before getting onto the old couch, I curled up on my side of the couch, holding my tail up against my legs. "Did you enjoy the rooftop?"

 Geronimo

I smiled at her as she curled up in the coach. That was going to be about the second time we would sit together in it. “Of course I did. It was the first time someone offered me their comfort in some time now.” I replied, it was true. I always appeared too distant and cold, rarely opened up to anybody. The warmth of our coats against each other was something I would always cherish. I was so eager to know more about Ruby, her past and her goals, who she truly was.

ruby icon thing by alexwolflover777
Ruby

"Well then we will just have to make this a more regular thing" I smiled at my friend. I recalled how we first met, I snarled at him. Ha! The one who I cherish the most I for a split second was ready to attack. "We should be getting ranks soon..." I added in a calmer tone, if we were given separate ranks, our time together would vanish.

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

“We absolutely should.” I replied joyfully, with a small content smile. That was just what I needed, a regular time of peace with my best friend, more nights under the stars, more hunts with her. That and power were the only things I needed, I didn’t care about anything else in that world. 

As she added her other comment, the expression on my face vanished. I remained like that – expressionless, unreadable. We would probably not see each other as much when we got our new ranks. I was hoping to be ranked up as a hunter, after the adrenaline of the most recent hunts with Ruby, I knew that was the task I wanted. However, would these hunts be the same without her? Was she hoping to be a warrior instead?“Yes, that’s right… What rank are you hoping for?” I muttered, my tone was noticeably not the same as before, but I hoped she didn’t pay attention to that. I wasn’t good with feelings.

Ruby

I gave it a good thought, "I really don't know. I don't think I very much belong to a rank"

Yes I could hunt but couldn't every dog? I didn't think that I was a better hunter than most or an excellent fighter, I needed to work on both of those skills if I really wanted to excel at my rank. "Well don't matter what I want, it matters where Koa wants me"

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

I nodded. She was very right, I appreciated her way of thinking. Analytic and realistic thoughts were something I was grateful for. “That’s very true.” I agreed, sometimes I found myself with that kinds of unrealistic and twisted dreams I needed to suppress if I wanted success. There was nothing wrong with wishing, but dreaming was as good as imagining something that will never happen; that’s why it’s called ‘dreaming’.

I gave my chest a few licks. Now, there was something I wanted to talk about. It had been annoying me for quite a while now, and I needed to discuss it with her. But what would she say? “We won’t be seeing each other as much.” I said finally, my voice cold.

Ruby

"That is sadly most likely what is going to happen " I let out a sign and shut my eyes for a short second. "Koa can't stop me for visiting you though" I gave him a slight smile that hid some sadness behind it. "We can still chat now though. So what would you like to discuss?"

I crossed my forepaws as I spoke, my head raised up a little more into a slightly more intrigued position.

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

I sighed slightly. We were probably not seeing each other as much, but Ruby was right, Koa was not our Alpha, he wouldn't keep us from meeting. 

As Ruby spoke again, I nodded. Yes, we had now to talk. Then what could we talk about? It seemed that it was my turn to choose topics, so I licked my lips anxiously and tried to think of a subject. I actually had something in mind... But it was out of my comfort zone.

"We have spoken about our future. What about the past?" I asked, my voice lingered for a second, I wasn't too sure whether I should bring that up or not. I didn't like talking about my past, however I wanted to know about hers.

ruby icon thing by alexwolflover777
Ruby

The past. Oh where do I begin with this? Yes I wanted to know about his and I trusted him with mine but where could I start...

"I was born into a loving, split family. You see my father lived next door, and my 'owner' hated him more than I have ever seen a human hate a dog. He ruined my perfect bloodline by taking my mother as a mate. Since my siblings and I were imperfect mutts to the eyes of a horrible breeder she hated us, she would hit us as if we didn't matter. We were disposable trash. My mother was sick of it, so we left along with my father to find a new life, that of a stray." I held a stern expression as I spoke, my eyes did not wander instead my gaze focused on nothing.

"Life was hard but we managed. Having great parents to come home to every day makes it easier, life was so great back then, no worries other than eating but I had my family, until I left."

 Geronimo

I quietly listened to her bittersweet story. It was such a happy and sad tale, I wondered if she was feeling nostalgic. I was afraid of telling her about my past, full of luxuries and commodities when hers had been so harsh."I'm so sorry..." I muttered, I wasn't good with feelings at all, and I barely knew what to say. I touched her cheek with my nose slightly, trying to offer her some comfort."Humans can be awful..."

Ruby

"Yes they can be awful but also kind hearted, I have seen both sides" I spoke after he gave me a slight touch which I gladly accepted with a smile, "I haven't seen my family since I left" I added without emotion. My mind went back to the day, I had lost my temper again, this time I turned on my own dear mother. I was disgusted with myself I had to leave.

"Do you mind me asking about your past? If you're up to explaining it to me."

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

"And one day, you will see them again." I added, trying to comfort her, even though I didn't know if I was right. As she asked about mine, I licked my lips in anxiety, I didn't like talking about it, however it was Ruby who wanted to know. A shiver went down my spine and finally I decided to speak.

"Well... I lived in France. It's very far away, you might have heard about it..." I started anxiously. Usually, I avoided that kind of questions. "I was born with the name of Ace, in a family who loved me and took care of me. However, one day I went out to our front yard and an old man approached me. I never knew his name, but he would always come visiting me." I made a pause and stretched my paws slowly. "I was very young when that human bought me. I was six months old, at most. He was very rich, and I enjoyed several commodities, he even gave me the name of Pierre. As I grew up, I stayed quiet and he painted me. He used to do that all the time. One day, one of his paintings was awarded and we had to move to America. That's when I left home."

France...that was a place I had never heard of but if it produced a dog like Geronimo is, it must be great.

I didn't want to get into details, I could see how uncomfortable he was with this topic "Then you came here?" I questioned.

"Yeah." He replied, he seemed happy that I had figured the rest of the story out without asking more questions. "I never got to like him."

"Humans can be hard to understand. They love their pets but have different ways of showing it. Though I can't exactly imagine you as a pet" I let out a soft laugh at my last statement 

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

I chuckled at her comment. "He loved me, I could see it. He spent hours painting me with slow brushtrokes in his canvas." I replied, looking out the window. I was afraid of nostalgia. "I've never been a good house dog, I wasn't meant for that lifestyle..." I made a pause as I remembered his eyes full of sorrow when he caught a glimpse of me jumping out of the window. I had never cared about him, and I had continued walking into that dark alley without looking back. "...And I think my owner understood that when he watched me walk away."

  Ruby

I remained silent, as if I was still taking in the complete peace this shack offered. At least I thought it was the shack, or maybe... who was in the shack. Yes that makes more sense, it was who was in the shack which made me feel peaceful. I could hardly imagine how Geronimo leaving made that person feel, maybe I felt the same when I left my family, or in vice versa. I let out a small sigh of comfort and relief as we laid, finally peace.

Geronimo gift by alexwolflover777
 Geronimo

My ice gaze returned to her one last time, and a small, almost invisible smile claimed my muzzle. I recalled some of our moments together, then realized Ruby was probably the only dog I would ever find myself curling up to. The silence between us wasn't nearly uncomfortable, just reassuring – for a fact, I would do anything just to stay quiet with her like this. I felt like keeping up the conversation, but that would just spoil the beautiful silence that reigned inside of our shack, like if we found ourselves in a completely different atmosphere, separated from the rest of the world under the quietness of a dome. We were as silent and as powerful as two stars in the piercing navy blue sphere that conformed the sky. 

Finally, I closed my eyes, letting out a small, content sigh. I knew that, whatever happened, Ruby would still be there.

ruby icon thing by alexwolflover777
  Ruby

I laid there, fully relaxed and calm, something that I should not take for granted, after all, the packs could be on the brink of war, with war comes the sad death of peace. I knew this would all end soon, everything I know would change. Who will others side with, how many friends would I loose, what will I loose? What if I loose myself to the madness of this war?

I pushed these ideas out of my head and found my peace once more.
