“I have never seen him, but it does not take eyes to make friends.”

“Emily!”

Epilogue

Emily

“RILEY?!” I thought.

And I assumed that today’s event would be quite ordinary.

“You’re here! Where were you wanderer?!”

I clutched him tightly in my arms, and he showed me the image in my mind, his journeys from Birmingham to me.

“Emily! Forgive me for running away. I know what you’ve been through without me, I’ll never do it again. Forgive me I beg.”

He licked my face.

“What happened, happened. You will not change the past… chiefly… that you’re here.!”

“Now I have to go to school, but in the afternoon you will tell me everything in detail.

Mom and Dad hugged joyfully that our family was finally together, and Emily once again has a smile on her face. Riley and I have lived and endured a lot of things. It was a difficult time when he wasn’t with me. Life without him seemed cold to me. It’s like I’m a piece of ice that only melts in the right hands. In Riley’s case – paws. Today we both learned something. There is no reason to be afraid. If something is to happen, it happens. With the right person, in my case a dog being, in the right place and at the right time. We found that friends are not separated by distance or time, but by when they stop believing in each other.

° ° °

School.

Let it be over.

On the way home from school, I couldn’t wait for the mysterious thought conversations with Riley.

We sat down on the roof of our house, where Riley gradually “showed” me images of his harrowing journey home and the reason for his disappearance. I just shook my head that he had survived all this because he could be seduced by the smell of meat, but what a wonder, Riley is in her podstate first of all a dog and the smell of tasty meat, that’s his.

Then he whispered something to me that I was thinking about: “Emily, you believed in yourself, you believed in us. You’ve been through a lot and you’re going to survive everything that’s to come. You are a great fighter!”

“Riley, from now on we experience everything together…”

I have never seen him, but it does not take eyes to make friends.

Thinking about something that may never even be confirmed is tricky, but sometimes you just need to think and not come up with anything special. Reflecting and looking for insightful answers is nutritious for a teenage brain.

I would have a perfect answer to one question. Was he on earth day or night? If it were night, people would be afraid of darkness throughout their lives. This is variant b but I personally like variant a. If there were a day on Earth first, we would see it as a sign that a bright and bright future awaits us. But on the other hand, without darkness, we would never see the stars.

I pulled myself together and the dream I had dreamed was a thing of the past. At the end of each dream, Riley appears to me. I don’t see him in my dreams because I’ve never actually seen him, but my idea of him is beautiful.

Someone would imagine the image of a dog, but I imagine the image of a dog being that I care about and will return my love…

I like such dreams the most. Since Riley left, I have two lanterns hanging over my bed as a sign that my hope will come true. I know it’s there somewhere, but I don’t know where. The police say that the dogs are getting lost and they are not addressing this. But she tried for a maximum of two days within a radius of two kilometers, and that was in vain. It’s been a week since Riley’s unexpected departure. I stood up and opened the door.

Mike helped his mom at breakfast and muttered about what kind of birthday party he wanted to have and who he wanted to invite.

“Johnny, Carol, Damon, George and Ricky will come. Oh, Patrick with Tarry, and also Freddie with sister June, Paige should have someone to play with. Do you think our house is big enough for them, mom?” he spewed out names one after another.

“You can’t invite so many. Four friends are enough for you. After all, you haven’t even looked at George and Carl for over three months.”

 “Mom! Aren’t you serious?! But I have to have the biggest celebration. Peter invited up to fifteen friends. Even those he doesn’t know!”

“Look, ask Emily here to help us with the celebration, so you can bring five friends. Can it be?”

“But Paige doesn’t count, does it?”, he asked, listening to his mother’s argument for this now.

‘And what is air?”

“Oh my god, mom. Okay five buddies, but I don’t count myself among them, do I?”

“What is the important thing you’re talking about here?”, I said for a change.

‘About the problem like an elephant!” he shouted, angrily walking up the stairs with a thud. Today was supposed to be a relaxing day at last. But it only came out of a very busy morning. Horror. After breakfast, I missed the bus to school. At school, I excused myself to an embarrassing excuse where the teacher was just amused.

“Emily, you’re not serious!'” shouted Vivien as I told her of that fancy morning embarrassment.

“Nothing but C hameleon ran away from my brother’s cage and I searched for him around the house I couldn’t think of,” I explained, and the water ran over her, quenching her thirst, which flew through her nose a moment later.

“If only you had said that you had a bus. What actually happened? “

“Yes, it would be more believable, but that’s okay, the teacher wouldn’t believe me anyway. “

“Okay. I accept. It’s eye-catching. “

We walked to the dining room for lunch. The day passed quickly. Like any other, of course. I had a good conversation with Vivien. She once mentioned an incident in Dinoprak, then joked about an experience at an Ed Sheeren concert, and now she’s just gossiping about Steve Dawlling’s unusual project.

“I also have it on video. If you saw it! It is clear that when she chose the theme of the volcano, there will be several authentic eruptions in the class, but I did not expect this in my life. It exploded according to her plan, until the explosion was directed at Miss Jobs. With a roar, she slammed the door and now apparently continues to roar at Director Ross. Poor girl. She didn’t even plan it that way, as she did. But I have the feeling that someone did it to her on purpose. After all, soda with vinegar up to a meter thirty does not splash out. Whether? “

After a long pause, I concluded that the answer was just around the corner.

I shook my head and replied in a daze: “Someone must have done this to her on purpose. Steve didn’t do anything to anyone. She is nice and likes to make friends. From what I heard, she hasn’t had a problem with anyone yet, and I already know who it was. Come on, our answer is just around the corner.

I had a few ideas as if the person standing around the corner of the dining room could do this, but none of them matched reality.

,,… that really was you, Susain???….”

,,… and they didn’t come to you???

,,… you’re good… “

“Why did you do that to her? ” I spoke, but she ignored me as usual.

“And do you see where I stand? “

Hey! You could have forgiven yourself for that comment,” Vivien glared at her.

“So what, Hudson? You plan to tell the teacher. Dawling deserved it because she sneaked around Timmi. She shouldn’t have done it and will never do it again and she will be fired. The school is tough and does not tolerate such outbursts here. And if they don’t throw her out, she won’t come close to him anymore. I say, she deserved it. I ordered Grece. “

Wait. Grece in this goes with you? Did you like to conspire with her? “

“Yes, they conspired. Steve sneaks around at the wrong time in the wrong place. I am not to blame for this. And on top of that, Hudson, I’m getting out of my way, because with your behavior and getting into me, it doesn’t end the best with your dog. He still owes me a torn expensive skirt here! Don’t let your dog even get in my way. “

“Fine! As you wish, let it be yours, but leave Riley out of it…”

“Did you miss what? He ran away because you couldn’t see where you were going what? Good thing that at least one annoying insect has run away does not bother me here. Get out of my way, because I won’t be so tolerant anymore! And when it gets tough, I’ll be the last to laugh at your failure, Hudson! Grace, here we go! “

“And to make it clear Susain, let’s see who will laugh last! ” said Vivien, and I wrinkled my eyebrows.

“Let him go. She is not worth it to me. Do you think she saw herself in the mirror in the morning? I don’t know who the biting and annoying insects are now? “

“How can you take it so easily. You’ve always had a hard time enduring the departures of loved ones and Riley’s probably the worst, so why don’t you mind? “

“I know Riley is alive. I have no proof of this and I have no idea where he may be, but I know one thing or no one will stop me from loving him until I have proof that I will not see him again. Two lanterns shine in my room as a symbol of hope… He is more than just a dog and more than just a friend, a being who has an indescribable feeling for me. We are like two halves that cannot exist without each other, and this is the bond that I cannot explain in one word. Simply… I know that… somewhere else is and thinking of me… for our first meeting… first sleepover… and… ” I already had tears in my eyes not only myself, but also Vivien.

Of course, I can’t tell her about our first bump in his and my head. She would probably think I belonged somewhere in psychiatry or something. I had to come up with something…

“And his first affectionate haggling, as if we understood each other,” I didn’t lie, I just colored the truth a little.

“Emily, you talk about him as a person. I have never heard this from anyone, not even my aunt, who is an unbearable dog handler. Wow! I already understand why you have not moved a step away from each other. “

“I’m sorry. I would still talk, but I already have chemistry to do, so… hello for now. “

“Hey Emily,” she greeted and I escorted her to the gym. I went up the stairs and settled in the lab to the right of the window.

° ° °

Only half an hour left. I thought to myself, it didn’t work. When the school bell finally rang at half past three announcing the children fly home, today’s program is exhausted… I jumped up, grabbed my bag and walked over to the bus stop. The bus was delayed as always. At barely three o’clock I got home and was rolled onto the bed where I fell asleep.

Tedious afternoon!

° ° °

“Get up! ” shouted a voice at my bedside.

“And to you already… entirely… skipped? ” I yelled at Mike and almost inadvertently glued one to him. I shook my hand a little from the fright. UPS! It was not Mike who grabbed it, but the frame with photos, which spilled on the ground into a thousand unloadable pieces. Mike was in a good mood and spread it to those around him in the form of jokes, funny stories, and hilarious, somewhat biting remarks to individual members of our family.

Funny early evening!

° ° °

After dinner, I worked out a project in English and an example from physics. Fortunately, physics and chemistry are only in the first year. After completing both unbearably boring activities, I concluded: a boring evening. The day developed diversely, feeling downhill: a fun morning, a very interesting lunch, a tiring afternoon, a funny evening and a boring evening!

° ° °

I’ve got it!

After all parts of the day projected through my head as one magical axis of events, I realized that the life I live is like a written exam at school. Many fail in it because they try to write off from others, they do not realize that each of them has a different assignment, some are super successful because they have prepared conscientiously, others are lucky, and some are smart and know something and guess something correctly. After this judgment, I thought deeper and deeper.

It’s crazy what I want to do right now! I sat down at my desk at my computer. Some would say that I practically can’t see the computer, but I also have my gadgets on the computer.

Braille writing.

Tramtadadá!

I started writing:

Don’t forget, Riley, wherever you are I am there with you. The past is the master of you, it is not possible to change, but the future is the master of you, that preaching even the impossible, she will worship you to the ground… You can do it… I love you very much.

 Emily

° ° °

I’m trying to put my life together, but I can’t find adhesive tape anywhere… What would make me so strong for now?!…. I decided to put my adventures with Riley in writing. My fingers were running on the keyboard and I was typing, just as I had experienced it all with my dog friend… I fell asleep on the keyboard, and in the morning Mike laughed at me extremely for it. Letters and dots lined my cheek.

Emily!? How did you sit at the computer all night? Mom! And you accuse me ofplaying whole nights of the game. That Emily here is a gambler!”

“I didn’t play games! Ehm… I was writing a homemade one from biola.”

‘You’re!”

“I’m in a hurry to go to school… Hey there! “

I slammed the door and thoughtfully repeated questions from history… Charles VI, Habsburgs, Joseph II, footsteps, voice and barking? The keys fell to the ground and tears poured down my cheeks. I haven’t seen him, but the thoughts speak for themselves! Riley?!

Chapter 23: Phenomenon

I shuddered when something burning dripped onto my leg. I was lying somewhere by the fire when I felt a human hand stroking my back. I felt a burning pain, whined and whined. Human grace has always seemed strange and kind to me, and especially today. I needed her as Emily. I felt that he was somehow suffering and it still bothered me. The memory of her warmed me and also cooled me down. She cooled down because I couldn’t feel her presence. It was just a kind of desire to have it with me. A delusion that is supposed to try to confuse me out of the way and shows me only dark memories. I felt that he was thinking of me. Although he is miles away from me. I feel that we are so far away and at the same time so close. It’s a strange feeling. Really weird.

I fell asleep, but differently than I’m used to. The pain was dulled by the bitter pill that was given to me. The pain suddenly went silent. I woke up and a strange woman in a bear-like fur vest was leaning over me. So, it’s over. Now he will eat me, and then he will walk around the world in my skin, and that will be the end of my message on Earth.

The strange woman looked menacing, but her heart was as I soon discovered very good.

“Hello dog,” she greeted me.

I did not know her. I crooked my nose, and then smelled the smell of sausages.

“Riley stop. Forget! You’ve already got into the mash once. Don’t even think about that sausage,” I told myself.

“Have it,” she offered me a sausage, but I pushed my head away as a “I don’t want” gesture. Obedient auntie, I laughed, and she preferred not to bother me with food anymore. I stayed with that lovely lady for three more nights before my paw recovered. She went for walks with me, I chased butterflies, then I chased a frightened flock of her strange sheep and made friends with a domestic cow – even though she was still just mumbling and complaining about what a bitten dog I was.

“I’d love to keep you, but I’m sure you belong to someone,” epla asI was leaving for a long way to go to Emily.

“Thank you for the care of Tarisa,” I thought in my mind, and she stroked my ear. I licked her and already ran to find my second part – Emily – without which I cannot exist.

° ° °

I ran I don’t even know where. I felt like an astronaut wandering through space. There are obstacles everywhere that stand in my way like meteorites. I… I am like an astronaut without my rocket. I was eager to look at something unusual, but my rocket ran away. She couldn’t see the road without me and she wouldn’t find the right path without me. Someone has to drive it. He must command her and tell her what to do. But she misses this being. The space rocket was running away from me and I had no chance of catching it. She was hiding here and there. Life has assigned her too much, but I am the one who will make up for it all. I’m already on the road Emily! I ran for a long time. The bends led me I don’t even know where. The road was absolutely abnormally winding and tangled. I walked fourteen hours and twelve minutes. A few people who looked at me mercilessly ran under my path. It was late at night when I was hanging out under a dried-up tree at the end of Bovington Village. There was a three-digit number on the road board, and I judged that London was still a long way from here and I still had a long way to go home. But I’ll give it.

Chapter 22: Lanterns

Again? ” I asked my mom, completely not understanding what was going on.

“How come Riley isn’t in the car? “

I started yawning because my nerves were already running out and I was already in tears. She is terrified of the idea that Riley has evaporated somewhere. It was a really bad joke, and I was confused that at that moment I wouldn’t remember my own name. I was still in the position that he would appear somewhere from the corner of the next street with chicken in his muzzle, and then a smudge would rub against my leg.

When we got home, mom printed out Riley’s photos and had pictures printed with the inscription: Looking for a dog. It is a golden retriever and has a green collar. Under his photo, she also put the phone number and address of our place of residence in case anyone saw him. I sat down at the window and wondered how hard a day was without Riley. I have no one to catch up with and no one gives me stinging remarks, no one talks to me just in thoughts. And the worst part is that no one from this house feels the way I feel now. Usually my assistant professor was Riley, but now I have to do it myself. Loneliness does not bother me, it bothers me when I do not feel confident that someone is standing by me, someone who understands me like no one else. I can be alone in the house, it’s worse when I’m alone in my new world and, moreover, without Riley. I wiped a tear from my cheek with my hand. And then someone called. It subsided, but after a minute again.

“Emily… Em… i… Ly… ! “ an unfamiliar voice shouted at me.

Ben? Hugo? ” I asked in surprise, and I jumped off my chair and opened the door. I ran down the stairs like a whirlwind and someone was scratching.

“Emily, hello! Where is Riley, I can’t find her anywhere! Just don’t tell me he ran after that squirrel that splinters nuts on his window every day!”

“No, I’m not afraid the squirrel would have gotten tired of him a long time ago. I can’t find it. I thought he was somewhere near you, but daddy was there to see him and so my last hope was slowly extinguished…” I declared, remembering Riley.

Ben and Hugo and I discussed conspiracy theories about finding him and where he might be. I waved goodbye to them and then came back home. I folded my head in my hands and started crying.

Life without someone you are attached to is suddenly difficult without them. It will disappear before your eyes… and the memories of him will begin to blur with your tears like watercolors. That river of tears that you created out of immense sadness suddenly turns into a stormy waterfall that sweeps away all good memories and turns them into sad ones. You will only have one left, but you must not let it go downhill. She is the one who gives you even the slightest hope that the important being you care about somewhere else in the world is thinking of you, of exactly the same memory as has now run through your head. Riley is more than just a dog to me, more than just a being. I feel something like… Simply, when you are tied to someone by an unnameable bond, you cannot pronounce what it actually means to you. Tears were running down my face, but my last hope will not be swept away by a waterfall of tears. In my head, I created an image of a waterfall that tore down a small boat that trembles helplessly among sad memories. That strange boat is yellow in color and shows me a light – a bright memory that sails through a storm of dark and black-gray thoughts full of grief and sadness. Nothing will stop the boat. No obstacle. He carries himself as an astronaut in a weightless state. But something can stop her. It can either stop or help her. I imagine a sailor summoning her to himself with some incredible charm. The boat is a few meters from the mainland and also a few dangerous meters from the deadly waterfall that will crush it. I wonder where the vivid memory in the form of a boat will go? Will it turn into a dark stormy memory and perish among the rest? Or will he find his lost owner and collect all the gray memories and turn them into bright and bright ones?

Chapter 21: Cosmonaut

I was bored in the car. Emily gasped somewhere, and I first looked at the passers-by. This bored me, so I changed position and lay down on the back seat. This, too, bored me, so I looked out through the open window again. The minutes went by like clocks, and I was already hungry.

In it I smelled a beautiful smell. Then I saw the beauty. The van unloaded meat, meat, meat to the nearest store. I did not hesitate for a moment and jumped out through the window of the car to the van. It smelled amazing and I started to lick myself. When I hid around the corner of the van, a guy came in with a crest on his head and a leaky apron, but fortunately he didn’t see me. I hopped into the van and hid by the freezer with the meat, looked through the window to see if I could see Emily somewhere, but she hadn’t arrived yet, so I grabbed my baguettes from the empty front seat.

Yummy…

I began to smell the smells that were around, and everything suddenly came to my taste. And in that the door closed, and I almost let go out of fear. I put myself behind the freezer again and the driver started the car. I found even chicken wings in a small saucer, and within thirty seconds there were no more of them. The car was slowly passing through the parking lot, and I saw Emily running around and desperately calling. I wouldn’t be able to bark because a guy would throw me into a shelter for being a “nice” dog. I tried to connect with her thoughts, but she was far away and the car was already coming out of the parking lot.

Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall. I’ve tried many ways to get out and come and calm her down. It was too late. We walked out onto the highway and I saw it for the last time. I didn’t know where we were going or if I would be able to return. I regretted letting myself be seduced by the smell of amazing roast pork or chicken best meat, but Emily will never make up for it. I couldn’t sleep, so I just lay down and they peeked out the open window. An hour later, I noticed that we were going somewhere north. On the way, I saw a small green house that reminded me of my home in London. I wondered if I would ever come home… But nothing is impossible.

° ° °

After two hours, I declared that it was impossible to return home. We finally stopped and I saw the Solihull table. It is so far from London that even the end of the world now seems to me to be a better choice. I slipped into the sausage box, but I was so overeager that I looked at them and I felt sick of overeating. The box was large and with me tremendously heavy. The guy from the car wrote a song and it got on my nerves. When he finally dropped me to the ground and left for the other big boxes, I climbed outside and ran so that no one could see me.

I wandered the streets, feeling like I was in a labyrinth full of zombies. I’ve never been outside London before and that’s why all the people and all the dogs seemed a little different to me. I do not know what it was. I walked around and came across a small Chihuahua that had eyes like a chameleon (on both sides and unnaturally bulging). She barked like she was deprived of her senses, and then I finally got out of her that I was on William Shakespeare’s native street. It looked nice there except for an overly voluminous guy in a huge fur coat. For a while, I had the feeling that Hogwarts groom Rubeus Hagrid from Harry Potter had wandered here. He really resembled him to me. I walked and walked. I walked onto a really extremely colorful street, where I found a four-star hotel with a huge inscription: Hotel Indigo Stratford Upon Avon. As the receptionist walked in through the huge spinning door, I pushed myself onto the suitcase cart and he happily transported me to the fourth floor to the seventy-eighth room, where a little tasty little girl with dark hair was playing and her parents were just unpacking. The receptionist unloaded the suitcases and I ran into the bathroom. I was waiting for the family to leave and the little girl reminded me of Emily when she was five years old. She showed me photos two days after we met.

When the air was clean husband and wife went out for dinner I climbed into the closet and spent the night there. I was comfortable there. The warmth in the wardrobe pellet was replaced by a cold in the morning. When the family woke up, they drove somewhere in a shiny car right after breakfast.

I was fine at the hotel, but it’s time to make the long journey back home. I was at the bus station at ten o’clock when it rained terribly at that moment. I didn’t really care that it was raining. I need Emily and she needs me. After a while, I was soaked like a wet mouse. As I ran away, I wondered if it was better to go down the road or through the forest. I chose a forest. On the way, they could catch me and then slam the door straight away at the shelter. Already at the first branch, I tore my collar. I looked at it and raised my eyebrows mockingly. I don’t understand how I could have torn it into three parts. I didn’t have a minute to spare. I had to run and come to Emily as quickly as possible. The forest was endless and I also needed to sleep. It could have been around lunchtime when I settled under a fallen tree caught by two boulders and they so nicely formed a small cave. I slept for a maximum of an hour because I was woken up by the cold December sun. I got up and shook off the foliage in which I was lying.

I came to a small village where someone’s lunch smelled lovely. I crossed the road carefully and walked through the streets. Although it was lunchtime, the houses looked dark and scary. A village called Witney. I liked one pale green house at the very end of the main street, so I sat down under the window. The lovely lady unloaded hot breads pulled out of the oven on the front windowsill. The lady handed me one half, and I squatted with her under the canopy. I ate and went to ask for something else to drink. I scratched at the mountaineer’s door and he kicked me out as soon as he saw me – and even threw an old baganja at me. Ill-mannered one! It jerks me when even a fly lands on me and not for one old deranged freak to throw his stinking slippers at me. Sadly, I walked further along the forest. Let me finally be at home, at home, at home… I thought. I ran through the mountain, forest, meadow and grove. The endless journey was slowly running away and I couldn’t find the exit from the “maze” of trees. I’m scared and menacingly afraid of bears – even though I’ve never seen one. It is said that the bear does not live in England, but I think that the bear in the picture is also dangerous. Tina laughs at me for that. Well, how about I’m afraid of bears. While thinking, I wedged my front paw under a huge stone and blood began to flow. I couldn’t choose it from there, so I started barking and squeaking. However, no one heard me. I didn’t know if I would ever get out of there. It hurt, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get to Emily again. I fainted from the pain, and my paw still hurt.

Chapter 20: Waterfall

Riley! Stop! ” I shouted, my head spinning as before.

Au. Why did we put the tunnel so hard? Emily what happened?” he complained and was completely unaware of what had happened to me.

“How do you get it…. How did you do it? “ I asked, still spinning like on a carousel.

“What am I like? Ah.”

What happened to me the other day happened to me. Riley showed me a picture of what she sees and what she thinks. Before my eyes, Teresa appeared as smooth both Scarlett and Hailey, Henry throwing a yellow ball into the distance, and Hugo always obediently brings it to him, and suddenly… darkness. I was all alone and Rivers ran to catch me because I felt like I had just poured myself alcohol. I sat down and kept holding Riley by the folded leather collar.

“That was…,” while I was searching for the right word, I stroked Riley’s head hair, “amazing!” I finished and the twins ran to me to see if there was a need to call an ambulance.

“No don’t worry. I just… I… My head was spinning,” I told them, and they kept wondering if I was really cool.

Now it got on my nerves because I wanted to know from Riley the details. I tapped my hands on my leg and kept thinking about that interesting picture.

When it was finally calm, I asked Riley, “Well? Can you explain how you came up with this?”

“I don’t know. It just came, and I was taken aback that you were taken aback that I had done something I didn’t know how I did.”

I didn’t know exactly the word I didn’t want to hear from him. The answer I don’t know is probably the worst in the world. So either yes or no.

Well. Now once again, and don’t speak like a chinese man. In English please and not Chinese.”

I laughed because I knew I wouldn’t get anything out of Riley anymore. I don’t know how he did it, but I want it to happen again. I would like to see Mike or my parents standing by me again, Vivien and her little sister, and especially my Riley. The rest of the training I thought about it, but I didn’t come up with anything extra. Teresa Scarlett taught jumping over a metal circle, and Stella taught Tina to catch a fresbee in a jump. I’ve walked the entire track more than five times with Riley. By understanding each other, we do it in a flash. Riley is learning and I’m trying to encourage him. He’s doing really great and I’m extremely glad he thought of it. After training, I pinned Riley to a new leash, and then Vivien and I walked to McDonald’s.

“Give me some more,” Riley thought, but Vivien ignored him.

“Hello miss? Can you hear me? “ trilled Riley, and then finally missed a piece of cucumber. He looked like Mike was eating a piece of onion, but he was glad that he had at least missed something. Vivien escorted us home, and in the evening Mike was still chasing Riley around the garden. Riley’s thoughts were loud, so I could hear him from the kitchen as well.

“Where do you get so much energy from? You do not and do not get tired. I’m already going to spit out my soul here!” he complained, and Mike kept running somewhere.

“Wait. I’m not the youngest anymore!” he said tiredly.

Then, through the closed window, I heard Mike bring a blowtorch and shake it in the middle of the garden.

“No hop, Rieleynko. “

“Firstly, I’m no Rieleynko, and secondly, I’ll never jump on this junk!”

After five minutes…

“That’s amazing! Mike! Add! Faster! “ he screamed in my thoughts, and I just shook my head in amusement.

I would never have thought that ever Riley would jump on the bandwagon. He enjoyed it and after pat l-hour he was already sleeping on a heated pellet in front of a heated fireplace. In the morning I dressed in a flowered shirt and blackch jeansin and put on red ballerinas. I grabbed my jacket, backpack, mobile phone, wallet and house keys. The house was already empty at eight o’clock, because Mike was leaving for school early today because they had an education in nature, mom and dad went to escort him to the bus. Riley and I went to Vivein and went to school together. Mondays are probably the worst of the whole week. On the way to school, I was churning out an apple, and Riley cleverly finished eating an apple.

“Gakujen,” he said with his mouth full, and there was almost nothing to understand.

While I was at school, he ran to Tina and Hailey’s dog playground a short distance from the school. At three o’clock we met my mother and went to arrange something at the bank. We left Riley in the car and he stuck his head through the open window. At the bank, we waited a long time, like in line for donuts in the city center, and by the time mom finally got her turn, almost half an hour passed. Mom was talking to a sunny woman in a red blouse who handed her a few extracts. “Other times I live in the bank for an hour, but today we did it all in thirty minutes. That’s a record, Emily,” my mother laughed, and I dreamily walked down the aisle to my car. When we arrived at the parking lot, my mother told me that Riley was not in the car.

Chapter 19: The game – Hide and seek

I asked all sorts of questions. I didn’t find out anything, but Emily is still counting on me. What she told me a week ago encouraged me to help her even more. At school, they avoid it. Even with my hen’s little brain, I found out that they felt sorry for her. She doesn’t even want to hear about it. Vivien began to notice her again, and they go out again. Instead of painting, she models. Statuettes, buildings and something else that the shape cannot be determined. Thus, not seeing has to work with things that he can do. She tried to paint a picture, but instead of canvas, she dyed the wall, and the janitor was really angry with her. Then she tried her luck and tried again. She didn’t hit it again, but this time it was caught directly by the janitor, because he was repairing the sink in the classroom, and the paint blew it out of the bucket. Finally, they moved her to Vivien’s modeling shop and they spend their mornings and afternoons there. I go to spy under the windowsills. They often laugh in such a way that even through those anti-noise walls, even a deaf person would hear it.

During that week, I managed to do a lot of things: eat something, sleep, eat something again and sleep again. I had so much that I didn’t know what to do sooner as an action dog, but this week I was terribly lazy. As I lay upside down on my back today like a chicken on a baking tray, it occurred to me that I would entertain Emily with agility training. He will teach me tricks, jumps and sweeps. I stood on four and ran to the door, there I barked five times because I was lazy to open the door. Mrs. Queen came out of the living room and opened it for me on a cloudy day.

“Drrr… ” I whined.

It was so cold that I probably wouldn’t have expected it in December. It’s never this cold in England. If I hadn’t been embarrassed, I would have put on a scarf. But they would probably look back at me, that even the dog had already switched. I ran for my life. I had to tell her. That was my best idea in the last three years. Emily will definitely like it. She will be proud of her haukáč. I stopped at school and sat down. I began to wag my tail as it came out of the door of the building. She went down the stairs, and behind her three girls laughed. Susain, Daisy and Grace.

,,… Can you see her?… “

,,… he doesn’t even know where he’s going….”

,,… Look at what he’s wearing?…. “

They whispered about her. I gritted my teeth and felt like biting them. She knew I would get a spanking from that janitor’s scarecrow, but it was worth it. I bit into her skirt and tore it off. She was torn on her right side.

Ha… 1:0 for Riley.”

,, What happened? “ a helpless Emily asked me in her thoughts.

“Nothing you need to know about. I just did you a little favor.”

I chuckled again. Barbie pulled me by the collar and I cleverly smashed it onto the poly.

“I would like to say that it was a pleasure, but I do not like to lie, Barbie. “

I was left without a collar, but that’s nothing.

“That was pretty rough Riley. ” encouraged has Vivien.

“You’ve finally counted the outdated model. “

I adore being praised. Emily grinned, and Vivien watched Barbina run to the girls’ locker rooms.

“You shouldn’t show her eyes anymore, Riley. ” thought Emily, smiling in spirit.

“Emily, I have something to tell you.”

,, Yes Riley. But not here.”

“Okay. At home?”

“It might be cool there.”

“Great.”

I shuddered proudly. She will be thrilled with my wonderful idea.

“Hello, Riley! Already officially. “

I forgot that I hadn’t introduced myself to Vivien yet.

I tried it: “Hello. “

Well, in vain. I hate it when no one but Emily can hear me. It was warm in me and I was looking for a way to talk to her and please her. He must find out that I am not just such an ordinary raven. I barked, but not like a squirrel disgustingly and with anger, I used my dog’s charm and elegance. I came to Vivien and sat down on the cold concrete. I lifted my paw and handed it to her. She gladly grabbed it in her hand.

“Jeeej! You are golden! ” she praised me again.

Emily smiled. I knew she was proud of me – she thought so – she wouldn’t hide anything from me. On the way home, the girls were talking about the girl’s things, and I pretended not to notice them. When we got home – to Emily – I rolled out in front of the fireplace. I fell asleep. One hour, the second hour, the third hour, and the afternoon is gone. I would have slept for at least another hour, but the tremendous smell of smoked meat from the soup woke up. I shot from the sofa and flew to Mike’s chair. He started eating and my clinkers converged.

“Give me… Give me… Give me… “ I thought, but Mike didn’t hear me.

The mistress looked at me ugly, but Emily was just cheering behind a plate of soup.

Riley. I can hear you. But do you know how others hear you? You bark! Mom’s head is already crawling. You’d better keep quiet, because you’ll be sleeping outside today.. ” she whispered in my mind.

Trucovito, I returned to my place so as not to irritate the mistress and the master. It’s cold outside, so I don’t plan to sleep there. A few times I smelled the smell of meat, but I no longer dared to move my hind paw. I also smelled something else. I came to the window and, bored, leaned my head against the inner window sill.

“Cataaaa! ” I screamed, but the mistress slammed her fork against the plate and opened the door for me with a thud.

I forgot again that only Emily could hear me… The mistress indicated to me that I can bark outside as much as I want. I shook my head to the right and noticed Emilia’s sad expression. For the first time I am at Emily’s house and for the first time I can sleep with her in a warm fur pellet that they bought me in the afternoon with Vivien. I hung my head and cupped down the stairs to the garden.

Emily looked at me one last time, and then the already annoyed mistress closed the door. She is not bad, she just does not like it when they have dinner and does not hear her own word when talking, because the dog barks because of every stupidity.

,,… Riley is pleasant, but you need to train him. After all, he can’t sinister bark at Mike when he is. I’m glad you found a friend, but she won’t be able to stay here if she doesn’t behave decently, she has to go back to Mrs. Queen….” I listened to the conversation between my parents and Emily.

I glued my ear to the wall and continued to listen. I didn’t hear anything special. Once in a while, my name was heard, but that didn’t bother me. I was more worried about sneaking into Emilia’s room in the middle of the night. If he had a room downstairs on the ground floor, I would climb through the window. I looked up. In it, the room was lit. I estimate that I will not jump five meters in height. He showed me a light bulb in my head like in a movie. Something came to mind.

“Emily? Rather? “ I asked her.

“Em… Not anymore.”

“Is the window open in the bathroom?”

“Well, I guess so. I don’t know, we tend to leave the window ajar.” she muttered half-sleepy.

“Great.”

“What are you going to do? Riley…” I didn’t hear any more.

We moved away more than ten meters and the connection did not work. I ran to the bathroom window and pushed the half-open window with my paw. It was small…

“Au, au, au,” I yelled.

“Damn it!” I muttered to myself. I got stuck.

“But come on. I’m not that fat.” I complained and looked at my wedged background in the window frame. I caught myself against the wall with my front paws, and my hind leg was inside.

“Every day I run from home to the park and Mrs. Queen takes me for a walk, what should I buy some treadmill so I can stuff myself through the bathroom window?”

“Uf!” I shuddered when I finally reached the washing machine.

I quietly peeked into the living room and checked if someone would move me to the garden again and I wouldn’t have to sleep there all night. Air clean. I tried not to think about anything to make Emily a surprise. I wanted to go up the stairs, but then it was as if I had crashed into a stone wall. I pulled back and climbed quickly behind the couch. The Lord passed by. If he had seen me, it would have been a disaster. I don’t know how I would explain to them with my barking that I was so fat that I almost didn’t crawl through a thirty-five-centimeter window into a cold bathroom. The master left, and I quickly walked to the mezzanine, and there I hid behind a flower. The mistress looked suspiciously at the flower, which is suddenly somehow fatter. She came to me and almost saw me. While she was bypassing the flower, I climbed behind the curtain. Thankfully, it’s dark all over the house. How glad I am that Mike is already asleep, because of him it is dark throughout the house. He supposedly does not fall asleep at all when there is even something lit in the house. The mistress bypassed the flower and I was really relieved. I took a deep breath, and then I hoped with a little soul that no one would scare me like this anymore. It was thrilling because a few more times before I arrived at Emilia’s room I had to hide behind an armchair or a bonsai. Then I slowly opened the door and saw Emily sleeping. It will be difficult to close the door – I have not yet learned that – because at Mrs Queen’s house I only shook, but now I have to shake it quietly. After all, it cannot even be splintered silently. I stood on the back and pressed the handle awkwardly.

Bang! Ups… That was a little loud. I thought.

“What was that?! “ screamed Emily – it almost tore my brain as she thought out loud.

“Can you think quietly?”

“You didn’t answer my question,” she argued with me.

“I tried to sneak into your room,” I emphasized kindly.

“Great. And now I have how to explain… Well, mention the devil.”

Up the stairs, rushing footsteps could be heard. Mom. I hid behind the door and hid under a woolen purple robe just in case. I stuck out my nose and eyes. I had to see what would happen. The door was forming and I had the feeling that it had a full snag. I pulled down my chest to fit into the twenty-centimeter hole between the wall and the door. I bulged my eyes because I was running out of air. The theater began, where tickets were free. Well, not quite. The air was running out and I wanted to whimper loudly. I was really tight there.

Emily? Did something happen? ” the mistress asked.

About… I… I guess I was… sleepwalking. ” she told mom.

“And are you okay? Good, Emily.. ” she greeted and closed the door.

“Fuuuuu!” I exhaled behind the door with a bang.

Emily? What was it? “

The door opened again.

Riley?! What are you doing here? How did you get in? Emily, talk! ” said the mistress angrily.

But then, as if the anger had disappeared.

Sorry. I went to let him in. I was sad. Riley is seriously important to me. ” said Emily sadly.

“I get it, Emily. Riley is golden, but not very well-mannered. “

“Oh thank you, mistress,” I thanked, even though no one heard me.

“And can he stay here? Sorry, I had a bad day today and Riley licked it off. “

After a while, Emily and mom hugged, and I was already snoring calmly in the new warm pellet. I woke up in the morning at Emilia’s feet. Oh, I already remember… in the evening I was terribly cold and the duvet that Emily was supposed to be covered with seemed niceand warm. I was curled up like a cocoon, and Emily was rattling from the cold. I took the sheet in my teeth and covered both Emily and myself. That’s cool.

“Thanks, Riley,” she thanked and slept on.

I saw what time it was and immediately pulled off her duvet again.

Emily! See what time it is! It’s seven, and Vivien is already waiting for you in fifteen minutes to meet and go to school.”

“Damn it! Vivien!”

Emily. Wait! I wanted to tell you what came to mind.”

“What?”

“Agility trainings.”

“Riley, that’s a great idea. There is a forgotten garden nearby. There I can go to exercise you. How did you think of that?”

“It just came by itself.”

“We can discuss it in the afternoon.”

“But now you have an oral answer from history. Oh, no! History!”

“I forgot!” She complained constantly.

While she was dressing, I asked her questions from ancient Egypt, and she answered me with reluctance.

When Vivien came for her, I escorted them to the end of the street and ran to my mother’s home for toys and a flying saucer for the dog. While I was sliding in a shoe box looking for tennis balls from my childhood, Tina came to see me. Today she was in a particularly “great” mood.

Hi. “

Em… hello. “

“What are you doing? “

“I’m squinting in a shoe box if you can’t see,” I replied, and she glared at me with a nasty look. I don’t know why he’s staring so disgustingly.

“Where is mom? ” I asked, and she just shook her head to the left towards the kitchen. I had three tennis balls in my mouth and I will be back tomorrow for the flying saucer. I don’t have that much free space to keep the little things. I talked to my mother and she suggested that I stay with Emily while they were at the Walsa cottage. I joyfully agreed, because firstly, I do not know how I, the dog, would call through that electric bush – according to Emilia’s vocabulary: a mobile phone. After all, my claws on my paw are bigger than peanuts. If I had to tap on the screen, I would break the “mobile” or if it didn’t break right away, I would lose my nerves after the first three taps and I would chew that “mobile”. My mother escorted me out and I wished her a nice trip to Wales.

° ° °

On the way, people looked at me as I could fit so many balls in my muzzle. I put the express balls in Mike’s hands and he stored them nicely in the bottom drawer in the hallway. I don’t want to pass Mike off as my slave, but I really didn’t want the master to wipe my muddy paws. It’s terribly annoying. In return, I allowed Mike a short walk. So I didn’t even let him. He came with a leash and a collar and, against my will, put it on my neck.

Au! It hurt. Put it on the weaker! ” I complained when Mike fastened my collar to the mostforceful. He continued his work and, of course, he did not hear me. After a walk, I went to see Emily at school in the rain. I stood at the main entrance under a dry canopy. She came, and I rubbed myself at her feet.

“Riley? Is that you?”

“Oh no, Harry Potter,” I laughed disapprovingly.

“Aha. So, Riley, after all. No one has sucha dewy, but at the same time spontaneous humor as you.”

“It hurt! “ I laughed again and whined cunningly. But this is just for amusement. I am happy when he laughs at me and amuses me. On the way home, we stopped at a pizzeria.

“Yup! Vivien invited us for pizza! ” I screamed.

“Us? “ asked Emily in surprise.

“You,” I corrected myself.

I can’t have pizza. At most, Emily gives me chicken, which is on top as a decoration. I must not do more. I suppose I would be hard. Pche… human rumors. I don’t think chicken has killed anyone yet. And I was right. I missed it. The next week we went to see a nearby meadow, where we brought the first material for a completely insane thing.

Riley? Will you hand me a hammer? ” asked Vivien. I get along well with Vivien. I mean, I understand her, but she thinks to me – like all the other people in the world – that I’m talking some kind of cosmic babble. People think that I don’t understand them at all e and we do what we want. But this is absolutely not the case. I understand people and I do not speak at all with incomprehensible babbling. I’m glad that, I understand people, if I didn’t understand them, I wouldn’t get bacon, and if it wasn’t for bacon, I don’t know what would have happened to me. I grabbed a hammer from the stump of a cut tree and, succumbing, brought Vivien to the nails. She nailed the battens to herself, and after three hours of this was an obstacle for the dog. I helped Emily with dragging a huge plastic tube about three meters long and wide to fit my background there. We pushed it into the middle of the meadow and then I inadvertently let Vivien down on her foot because I spotted the twins and those two annoying adult teenagers. Henry, Kevin, Teresa and Stella.

“Hey kids and mr. dog,” the twins greeted at once. Teresa and Stella looked exactly the same today. Pink jeans and a white black striped T-shirt with a heart in the center. The girls killed the bars together, and the guys wore them. I was the head of the whole program and that’s why I had the hardest job of all. I lay down, slept, and after two hours of my hard work, I chased a bow tie.

“So just build a sign for marking: dog training. And kids, the rest of us except Emily are supposed to bring our dogs to exercise? “

Everyone stared at Emily, and she nodded her head, because she was just handing out nails to Vivien, who was shaking her fingers with a hammer and shouting loudly.

“Au, damn it… ” she screamed, shaking her hand in pain.

“Well, I suppose so. We could start training our dogs and then people could come here too. If we were to charge here, when it starts to teem among people, then we could donate the money to the shelter, what do you say? ” asked Emily, and now she was serving the cloves to Stella.

Riley? Will you bring us friends? I mean Hugo, Ben… “ she thought.

I was wondering what my dog buddies were doing.

“Jasnačka. I’m flying! ” I said, and the twins behind me looked around, where I suddenly went.

“Emily, your dog is running away!… ” shouted Hugo, but I couldn’t hear Emilia’s answer anymore because I was far away. I ran to the house and found fluffy gardeners there.

,,… that bone wasn’t so deep….”

,,… but she was, if not then I would have come across her already. And on top of that, go to Tina to lend us a bowl for found things… “

“… go for her alone because Tina is not at home and Riley has sewn up somewhere and I have no idea where she is now… “

“Has anyone mentioned? “

“Hey buddy, where have you been stuck for two whole days? “

“I was sewing with Emily and a bunch of immature teenagers on a nearby meadow. “

“And can we go too? “

“Yes, now I ran to you to suggest it to you. Hey you! You illegal gardener! What are you digging up my garden! ” I took off with a laugh.

I keep Hugo’s expression in my head until I die. He pulled his head out of the ground, and his expression was something in between: a dog that did not see the mesh and flew through it, and something like a frightened hen on a farm that had just been frightened by a cat.

So…. well… in short, a year ago and something we buried here together a bone from Ben’s dinner. I wanted to enjoy it. But I forgot to ask you about it, as it’s your land. Hehe… “

“I’m going to give you such a hehe that up. ” I spat out then I pulled it by the collar with my teeth from a pit about a meter deep.

“Are you coming with me? If you are lucky, you will have a new mistress or master. “

I encouraged them, and they were already chasing after me like soldiers.

“Stop, stop, stop! “

“What again? ” complained Ben, and Hugo raised his eyebrows.

“Well, probably why did I stop at the fountain? Peel, wash yourself! After all, you are all muddy. Well run! ” I them and they obediently moved to the clean fountain. When they shook, we ran after Tina and Hailey. We needed one more or haukáč.

“How about taking Scarlett? She would come with us… ” suggested Hugo and ran straight for her into a block of flats two streets away. Her coat resembled a just-blown sheep. I have never seen Scarlett before. She moved in three months ago and still went somewhere for dog shows.

“She’s a poodle? ” I asked in surprise. I thought it would be, I don’t know a Labrador or a husky, but I wouldn’t really expect a poodle.

“Hey guys. How are things going? “

Fine. Come on in. By the time we get there, Emily has already found a new dog. ” I said and Hugo was already flying five meters in front of us.

“Emily. We are here,” I hoped he could hear me, because we were almost there.

“Great, Riley! “ she thought, and I smiled proudly.

“So kids can we start? “

She suggested when we got in line. Each of the kids chose a dog or a. Teresa fell into the eye of Scarlett – and they resembled each other, even Teresa today had a kind of blown bump on her head, Ben liked Kevin, and their chocolate hair and Ben’s fur were incredibly well matched together. Stella stood up to Tina, and Tina smirked at her in a doggy manner. In character, they were completely suitable for each other. Hailey immediately began to wrap herself around Vivien, and Vivien automatically grabbed her in her arms like a little puppy, and Hailey hid in her pale hair, her coat completely disappearing with Viviena’s strand color. Hugo and Henry started with the same letter, and that already means something, they also caught each other’s eye. Each dog and its new owner matched each other with something: Scarlett and Teresa with a guppy on their heads, Hugo and Henry in the initial letters, Vivien and Hailey with a brightly shiny golden color, Stella and Tina with their authoritative nature, and Kevin and Ben also with chocolate hair color.

What about me and Emily? I have no resemblance to her and we still fit together as if we had known each other in a past life. Well, we are all different and we are born to stand out and not to perish with the crowd. Scarlett, of course, was the first to run to the training ground. Obviously, it always has to be the first. The training went perfectly for her, she listened even without rewards, because she and Teresa sat down so much that she was willing to do anything for her. But after each successful jump, they had to take a picture on Instagram. This was followed by Ben, Hugo, Hailey and Tina. I went last. I have already experienced what happened to me with Emily once. It hurt, but that’s until later…

“Riley, now jump on the wooden bars and then go through the tunnel,” she ordered me, and I obeyed with joy. I was thinking about how proud Emily would be of me when I could do it all and we would go everywhere together and it would grind…

Chapter 18: I hate the answer “I don’t know”

“Can you stop it? “

Summing up, Mike hasn’t changed. I have changed my approach to it as much as possible. Mom is furt the same. Daddy too, but something has changed. I. I am ready to overcome all the obstacles that stand in my way. I will go through the paths that have obstacles, because a path without obstacles is never a good choice. It has worked for me a few times, but to tell the truth, I can’t remember.

“No, seriously Mike. Stop it already! It’s all scattered here. Better go do something useful and go learn how to fix a clogged siphon. Daddy will be delighted when such a mechanic comes to him. “

I yelled at Mike as he was tidying up his room. I’m happy I didn’t see the mess, but I couldn’t hear the rustling of Legos, T-shirts, balls and old children’s posters through my bare feet.

“What does it stink? Where’s your snack from Thursday? ” I asked with a stuffy nose.

It was a sound like a helium balloon from a circus taking a breath. Fie.

“Where’s your snack Mike? ” I asked again.

“I try to breed penicillin at home. “

Fie. Are you normal at all? It’s been hardening for six days now. “

Not. I am endemic. “

“Hey, I’ve already found out. And immediately go throw it away. “

“Okay. “

I couldn’t see how he looked, but I could imagine it exactly. Mike slammed the door and I was left standing in the middle of the stink. I reached the window and pulled the handle. I took a deep breath. Finally fresh air. I closed my eyes dreamily and listened to the sounds of nature and the surroundings. In a month it is cold here. Christmas… Cakes… Warm stockings… Gifts… In my mind, I was reminded of the smell of gingerbread. Honey-nutty flavor with milk. Figs, almonds and an amazing sour orange. And especially wafers – with honey. I really adore honey. Like raspberries. But these are more for summer than for cold December.

“You again? ” I turned my head to the right and curled my upper lip.

Thirdly, I rolled my eyes. Mike oxidized again with the Avengers gadgets. I guess he’s already totally forcing those Avengers on me.

“Come down go Avengers Endgame. Under already! ” he pulled my hand back to the living room.

“Wait, Mike. Stairs. “

“There is a dog expert on the stairs. Dodge people. He goes to the rescuer. Mike, dodge you too,” Riley thought proudly.

I didn’t expect it. But it probably comes whenever I need it. He pounded up the stairs like a buffalo and then nudged me with something new.

“That’s a lead for blind people,” I thought intently.

Riley answered my unspoken question clearly: “Yes, that’s what you think. And it is useful. I already have that annoying and itchy dog corset. It bites and tickles terribly. Flea. “

He complained to me.

“That’s perfect Riley. Where did you get it? “

“From my friend Rocky. He is a distant neighbor. I think you saw it once when you came to London for the first time and started living on this street. Even then, he was quite old, but he remembers a little tasty little girl with braided braids. He, too, was once on duty with the blind, but then he grew old and… You probably know, he couldn’t do it anymore. “

“Oh, so tell him that he helped us a lot. But you don’t have dog training, do you? “

“I don’t, but I can try without it. Do you believe me? I orient myself in the space fine, I don’t run somehow extra fast and I trust you to believe me. “

“Oh, it couldn’t have been said more complicated… “

I didn’t have time to finish the sentence, my mother was shouting something to me: “Emily? Emily! “

Yes. I am here. “

“Oh because I’ve been yelling at you for over two minutes now and you’re still nothing. Did something happen? “

Yes, mom did. It switches for me because I can talk to the dog and then I can still read the thoughts of Riley’s other weird buddies. No, I could not tell her. I don’t want to lie to my parents, but I have to. I would probably end up somewhere in a circus as an attraction that says dog tricks from the head while not saying anything. And the dogs will jump as they are told. Well, that would be terrible.

“No, nothing. “

Well. If anything, we can talk calmly. “

“Okay. “

“I want to talk too, mistress,” Riley joined us.

He shoved a leash into my hand and I got stuck with his collar and harness. I stumbled down the stairs and stopped at the door, where I put on my favorite rubber boots. Rained. After nice days, this is to be expected. I grabbed my umbrella. Yellow matched my skirt beautifully. I closed and we went for a walk in the park.

“I’m really cold. I’m all soaked. We’ve been going for at least an hour… “ complained in a piece of Riley.

“We walk for five minutes and are only a few meters from the house. “

“Oh, oh, oh, I don’t like rain,” he complained all the way to the park.

I sat down on a wet bench. I’m glad I had a raincoat. At least my clothes didn’t get wet.

“Hahaha. Stop talking about drought. “

“I didn’t say it out loud. “

“But we’ve all heard your thoughts,” two familiar voices whispered. Ben and Hugo.

“The boys are cheering. Emily, will you unfasten me please. “

“Thank you,” Riley grumbled after unfastening the terrible harness for him.

“Go for a run. Today is Tuesday, I have to go to the Garden senior. Mrs Brown is waiting for me. As you know, I wanted to go two weeks ago, but Mrs Brown was afraid that I would not be able to do it there, and I quote: ‘You have to get used to it. ” And I’m already used to it. I’m already looking forward to it. Come to me. Brick house. That’s what Riley could find. “

“Yes, I could. Among the thousands of brick houses. Um… it will be a breeze. After all, Riley will find it… “ he murmured sullenly as I was leaving.

“Hey guys! “

“Bye Emily and say hello to Sibilia,” Bensaid with great interest.

“Whom? ” I asked, “Sibiliu? And who is that? “

“He will speak to you. He’s already waiting for you,” Hugo replied.

All the way I wondered who Sibilia was. I let myself be surprised. But what else was left for me? Nothing but waiting.

“Oh, good day, Miss Emily,” someone said in a rustling voice.

“Good,” I greeted mysteriously.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I am Sibilia. Under closer. “

“I can’t see where you are. Sorry. “

“Don’t apologize. You are not to blame for this. It will probably be better that it has you do not see. “

,, Why? “

“I’m hurt,” said a voice. Still mysterious. I thought others could hear that voice, but again, it was a delusion of my head. A dog was talking to me..

“Yes. I am a and very old. “

“Can I help you in any way? “

“No, Emily. You don’t have to. Only one thing will help me… “

“Aha. Understand. What do you actually look like? What happened to you? Why are you so mysterious? “

“Oh. Still just questions. There are always too many questions, but without answers, the world would be easier. Not all questions are answered. Life is actually one big question that we only get an answer to at the very end. “

“What do you mean by that? “

“Oh, my dear. Try to ask a different question. Or try to answer for yourself. How did this happen to me? Answer. “

“I don’t know. I was expecting an answer from you. And not my riddle. “

“Okay. My master. Mr Press died in a car accident and I suffered many injuries. Since then, I have been to shelters twice. I was in danger that if no one wanted me anymore, that would be the end of me. I miss Mr Press very much. But you know how it is… where the heart has been silent the memory continues to live… “

“That was beautiful,” I told her as we walked to the entrance to the Garden.

“I’m going inside with you. Mrs. Brown is like a spare mistress to me,” she told me.

“Hello. Sibilia, you have breakfast here. I bought you new granules. I hope you enjoy them. “

“Hello Mrs. Brown. We finally see each other, but not exactly. So, we finally hear each other! ” I grumbled.

I was really excited to finally be here!

“Hello, Dr. Gilbert,” I greeted the gentleman who was sitting next to Mrs. Brown on the couch.

Hello. I am Iliris. Sibilia is my sister. I’m a of Mrs. Brown here.”

“So everyone here already knows that I understand your dog language. Even in a huge city like London, news seems to travel faster than in a village where there are fifteen people.”

I could barely speak and something disgustingly sticky was already dripping on my leg.

“Riley!” I shouted at him as he leaned his head against my new daisy knee-highs.

“You pig. Couldn’t you come unsealed the first time? “

“The mud hasn’t killed anyone yet,” he replied indifferently.

“I have a hundred cravings to bite you in the tail! ” sighed Iliris.

“But don’t talk? You’re already like my annoying segra. “

But. Who called!? ” they quarreled.

“Enough talk. Sibilia show Riley where the showers are, Iliris, you take this and go bring it to the last floor. To Mrs. Brown’s office on the desk. In the meantime, I will be talking to Mrs. Oliviou. I haven’t seen her in a long time, so Riley don’t dare to come there and embarrass me! “

° ° °

“What did I tell you?! You shouldn’t have come here!”

“But those wings you eat here smell so good…” he said, thinking of the crispy delicacy.

“Yes. Even my brother controls thousands of leaks when it comes to food.”

“So on…”

I took one tasty wing from the table and slipped it to his snout.

“Olivia. This is my bodyguard Riley.

“I’m pleased… ” said Riley with his mouth full, but only I could hear him anyway. He probably wanted to be polite.

“Hello, Riley. We have already met once… “

“Hey, where? “ asked Riley, but as always in vain, no one except me heard him again.

“Surely you remember me on Tower Bridge. You know where I mean, don’t you? “

“Eehm,” Riley muttered disapprovingly with his mouth still full. I just realize how terribly slow it is.

“I understand you,” Riley replied to me with a full muzzle of fragrant meat.

What? ” I cried out loud, and Riley’s deafening scream into the void swelled in my head.

“I don’t understand him as much as you do, but I also had a similar dog and I got along very well with him. How do you see Riley, Emily? “

Em… well I don’t know. I never thought about this, I just knew that it was him and he would not betray me, he would perceive me as I am and we would understand each other. We will not have reservations about ourselves and we will not condemn ourselves. We’ll be there for you no matter what. Riley is… my. It has always been so, it is so, and it will always be so. I understand his feelings, expressions, words, thoughts… “ Damn it! What I said. Oh, no!

“I know what the bond is between you. My dog Damon was the same. I didn’t understand his thoughts perfectly, but I got to grips with the essence of the matter. At that time I was about seven years old, I was on a walk and lying stiff from the cold in a thicket of foliage. I took it home, but you know how, the dog’s parents didn’t even want to see it. “

“So what I told you here thirty seconds ago, don’t you take as a clipping of my imagination? “

“No, Emily. I had a similar story with my best dog friend, but as you already know, there is a bond between you and this Riley that no one in the world or even in the whole universe can explain. “

“Do you know what kind of bond it is? “

Why did I say such nonsense? Mrs. Olivi, and yet she cannot know what Riley is like and what I am, and what unites us that we cannot even be ten meters apart.

Know. Riley is more than a dog. Everyone can be more than what they are. If he tries, of course. Dreams do not become reality for nothing. Is it true that you dreamed of someone who would be more than a friend to you? “

“I wanted someone with whom I could say what no one knows. “

“Do you have no secrets from me?” he asked in surprise.

“No, I’m telling you my feelings, thoughts and ideas that even Vivien doesn’t know about. You are my secret diary that is locked and unlocked only by my feelings. I haven’t told anyone that.”

UPS! I really can’t tell my thoughts and what I’m going to say out loud. Now Mrs. Olivi and she will think that I have hit the door on top of all this and rubbed my head hard.

“You probably think I’m completely shot when I poem like this here about a dog I’m somehow tied to. “

Not. “

“Is that a fact? “

Yes. I was the same. But we couldn’t read our minds. I tried to figure it out for twelve years. But with Dan, I got along like no one. He was just a little less fussy like Riley. Nothing against you Riley… ” she told me.

Riley just nudged me in the hand because I knew I hadn’t seen his wink. It’s kind of our… signal.

“I knew you could do it Riley,” Mrs. Olivi said praisefully, and towards Riley.

“What was he supposed to prove? ” I asked.

“You’ll figure it out over time. “

“But when will I figure it out. “

“When the night begins with sunrise. And no more questions. It is already quite late. You have been here for three hours. Lunch is definitely already on the table. Bye bye, Emily, and when you need something, you know where to find it. “

How was it ‘where night begins at sunrise.’? I quickly said to my unspoken sentence: “Well, I will not remember that. “

“Well, that’s why you have me,” Riley muttered.

“How come you perceive me as I am? I’m just an ordinary girl.”

“For some, you’re just an ordinary girl, but for me, you can be the center of the universe.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re not worth it.”

The rest of the way we went quietly. I secretly looked at Riley’s thoughts and wondered how important I was to him. I have nothing to say to my classmates at school at the moment. Vivien is my best friend, but she has changed. I am not saying that I do not. She was frightened. Not me. She was frightened because we don’t meet so often anymore, we don’t call like crazy every minute and we don’t get angry at every stupid thing that goes by. I miss it. A year ago, we were like sisters. Secrets united us, not divided us…

“If you want, tell her about us…”

“Hey, don’t dig into my head,” I laughed amused.

“You’re climbing into mine too,” Riley countered.

“No. I am determined that until we meet regularly, this mystery is only in two heads.”“Whatever you decide, I’m here with you.”

Chapter 17: Obstacles

When I escorted Emily home to meet her cousin Daphne, I sat under the red shutters for a while. On the way home, I wondered how I was able to show her my view of the world. Incredible. Then I tried it at home with Hailey, but she didn’t sit still for a long time and kept squirming. I didn’t have nerves for her and after thirty seconds I gave up.

“Dryer,” she shouted at me when I didn’t have a hard time anymore.

“Hey, hey, I’m, I’m not. “

I didn’t have the time or the god-knows-what desire to quarrel with my sister, who wakes up for the first three seconds which she is alone and has nothing to do. I had to think. During this time, I found out that we can only read our minds for ten meters. Then it goes out like an engine on a car.

“You’re the engine on the car,” someone from outside said.

“Will someone open it for me? Am I at least at the door already? “ she hissed.

“Emily?! “ I flew through the living room and kitchen.

“Come in! “ I challenged her as she stood at the door.

“No, Riley. I have to introduce you to ours. They need to know that I’m going to have a hauka. “

“Okay. Pa, mom! “ I barked quickly and was no longer at home.

I dug out the cable from the bushes again, with which I led her home from the park, and poked Emily’s nose into the back of my hand. She tied it to my brown collar and I led her home.

“Don’t worry, Daphne left, she doesn’t like dogs. Rather, he is afraid of them, due to an unpleasant experience from early childhood. “

“How does someone dislike dogs? After all, we are so nice and tasty… “ I complained.

“I don’t know exactly. Come on, Riley! “

“Mom, Dad, we’re home! ” Emily shouted loudly and not in my thoughts. If she had done so, I would probably have had to go to the ear. I hear it twenty times more than people.

“How are we? ” asked Mrs. Hudson Emily.

“Well, we. “

“Emily you still have time for a relationship.”

“Well, this is a different relationship than you mean. We are friends. “

“What is it supposed to be? Dog? “

Yes. Are you angry with me? “

“No, Emily! But I have a condition, he will be in your room. So I’m guessing you want to have it in and not out! ” mom made a strong decision.

Daddy chuckled at the question, “And where do you actually get it from? Won’t someone look for him? “

“Are you really going to let me do that? Thankseee! ” I hugged both parents.

“And he found me! “

I accidentally barked out loud – a little more loudly.

“Hi, I’m Mike. “

Oh my goodness, but next time don’t jump on me and pin me.

Mrs Hudson, whom I called the Mistress, and Mr Hudson, the gentleman, I liked very much.

“Emily, I still have to go home to tell my mom that Mrs. Quee will have one less hungry neck,” I proudly announced. “Mom will be glad that I have become independent. “

“And how do you imagine just disappearing? “

But… “

“Let me talk. I’m going crazy here with Tina and Hailey. You’re going to go anywhere in the world and I’m supposed to manage it all here? “

But… “

“I’m not done yet, Riley! Your mom will be here alone with erratic teenage girls. I’m not saying I’m not glad you found a new mistress, but I’ll need help. Tina slams the door and doesn’t show up until night. Hailey, she’s a housewife’s sloth, and when she wants something, she just barks, “Will those sausages be ready? ” or “Mom? Raise the temperature on the radiator, it’s cold here like in Antarctica, and mom bring me those granules from lunch. ” Do you understand how awful it is? I’m still just bouncing around hungry necks. At least you helped me. You are the second oldest. “

But… “

“Don’t jump on my tongue! Actually, already speak, I already said what I wanted. “

Finally! ” I grumbled.

“I know it won’t help you much when I leave, but wouldn’t you want me to be happy? I know, I know. So I will stay here and watch Emily often. “

“And you can stay with her a few times to sleep for two days. But you have to come and help me I’m older and I don’t manage as well as I used to be. “

“I love you. “

“I love you too. Emily seemed to be a decent little girl. Greet her from me. “

I blinked. Of course, I understood that my mother did not want to let me go further than our home, but even so, a soul of hope was dormant in me. Of course, hopelessly. I laughed at my optimism and naivety about a carefree future. Someone is talking about how amazing it is to be a dog, but sometimes I don’t think so. My dog’s instinct whispers to me to finally stop fantasizing, but my brain keeps shaking crap and thinking about like: what if? It’s annoying, but I still have to keep my brain busy so it doesn’t think about Emily. I am somehow attached to her. I do not understand how. But I’m glad I didn’t understand it yet. That would just be a worry.

It was simple: I’m an unusually crazy dog with a lot of extra free space in my head, so I’m thinking about crap. And as for Emily, I don’t even think about her. She has no flaws… I rolled over to the side. I slept about eight hours. In a dog, quite a few. I’m used to lying out all day and occasionally looking at the ségry to see if they’re doing something illegal. The other day, when Mrs. Quee picked us up because of Hailey’s excessive scratching, the driver didn’t want to let us onto the bus because Hailey was going to tear up behind a pigeon. I then had to chew through the leash so that I could drive the scarecrow away the pigeon. And who got a spanking because of a stupid pigeon? Well, me. So I don’t want to embarrass myself there with my impatient sister, and I get my ass kicked for willingness. That, then, is fairness. I rolled over on my side again, because the floor somehow hardened overnight.

Au. Au. Au! ” I yawned after every muscle and joint movement in my twisted dog’s body.

“Will you stop? ” said Tina.

“But will you be quiet? ” I lashed out at the sleepy and absolutely nervous Tina.

“No, you Hercules. “

“How come you know about my nickname? ” I’m going to whip them so much behind the ears of those dogs. After all, wait for Cassanova. I’ll tell Tine, such a stinging news that you’re going to fly. I told myself.

“Well, I have my resources. And already sleep! And most importantly, do not annoy me. You can see that someone is annoying Mrs. Queen. ” I threw one eye on the couch. Mrs. Queen calmly blew herself away. I turned a blind eye and the other. I have not yet seen anyone sleep with their eye open. I dreamed of Emily. The dream was about her telling me one single sentence: We are here for each other.
