Chapter 14

Buddy was whimpering, probably hungry.

I went to get him some dog food.

Buddy ate, occasionally looking up at me.

As if I might run off if he wasn't careful.

After he finished eating, I played frisbee with Buddy in the garden.

That used to be his favorite game.

I'd pretend to throw the frisbee, but actually hide it behind my back. After doing this three times, I'd finally throw it for real.

Buddy used to fall for my trick.

Later, he got smart.

But to make me happy, he'd pretend to be fooled.

It was the same this time.

When I finally threw it, Buddy went wild with joy, charging off to catch the frisbee.

I was happy too.

I excitedly whistled.

But suddenly.

Liam's voice sounded, a little urgent, and his wrist was suddenly gripped tight. "You... who exactly are you?"
