The look on Lindsey's and Petra's faces said it all. I cleared my throat and got off Kayla. I stood tall.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"uhm...can we have a pet dog?" Petra asked holding a puppy in her arms.

"A dog?" -Me

"Yeah we heard a puppy crying until we went outside and found a little baby Yorkie, she must've ran away or something" -Lindsey

"I suppose so...if only Petra takes care of her" -Me

"YAY! WHAT SHOULD WE NAME HER?" -Petra

"Pickles" -Lindsey

"Fucking. Perfect" -Petra

"It is a cute name" I said petting Pickles. Kayla got up from my bed to come up and pet Pickles too.

"So  you feel better Kayla? After Leah knocked you out cold?" Lindsey asked.

"Yep, I'm feeling way better" -Kayla

"Obviously since you and Leah were making out" -Lindsey

"Shut up, learn how to knock or you might see something worse" -Me

"You know...I will start knocking from now on" -Lindsey

I nodded. I yawned and then said; "Well, I'm gonna go to bed, it's late and you guys should too"

Lindsey and Petra left my room. Petra and Lindsey went into the large room to sleep next to the fire. Lindsey had made a little blanket bed for Pickles. That's where she always slept from now on. I watched the three of them sleep. I felt Kayla hug me from behind. Her touch was just so soft. I turned around to kiss her again. She told me goodnight and went to her room to sleep.

I slept in late the next morning. At least until after noon. That was strange. I woke up with my head spinning. I looked down at my foot and noticed blood everywhere. Shit, I bleed out faster than I thought I would. I felt myself losing conscious. I managed to crawl on my knees to the door. I was too weak to stand myself. Instead I banged on the door. I couldn't shout or anything. I needed to get someone's attention. I was too weak to even send out my eye. I suddenly felt myself closing my eyes. Blackness.

I guessed two hours later I was in the large room. I woke up on the floor with Petra sitting across the other side of the fire. I looked down at my foot and noticed it was covered in wraps. That's mostly why the bleeding stopped by now. I sat upwards. Looking over at Petra, who was holding Pickles seemed to be scared. I looked around. Where was Kayla and Lindsey?

"...Where's Kayla and Lindsey?" I asked Petra

"...They went to the store...to uh...get plants since we ran out of berries" -Petra

"...I don't see why you guys choose to be vegetarians when there's healthy and taste-full food right outside Mama...I mean, I know you're starting to like meat but still" -Me

"Life's too precious" -Petra

"I suppose...but say a tiger was after you...I know you would kill that tiger instantly" -Me

"...I don't know, I'd probably just let it kill me" -Petra

"Kill you? You're insane! Do you realize how much power us four hold? We could rule the world if we wanted too, we could easily kill everyone, but instead you let a rat with fangs eat you alive? It's eat or be eaten, a fight for survival" -Me

"You know what? You're absolutely right, I would kill that tiger. If only it wasn't nice. Or it was trying to kill me." -Petra

"But you still eat plants. Eating meat makes you stronger and healthier" -Me. A few minutes passed by. Listening to the fire crackling.
