Chapter 3

Later that evening

Solomon was closing the house up for the night after which he got Yugi's bed in the kitchen.

Yugi's POV

I ran after Jii-chan wanting to see where he was going, he went in to a large tiled room I assumed that it was food preparing place because there was a bowl with water by a basket with a blanket which was were Jii-chan was knelling down and beconing me.

"Come here Yugi, come here girl." Jii-chan said holding his hand out.

Thinking there was something tasty in his hand I bounded over to him pant showing my happiness, but is I got a foot away I feel over my own feet and stumbled before falling down at his feet.

"You are very energetic aren't you Yugi "Jii-chan chuckled picking me up and scratched my ears.

I started to pant and thump my leg loving the scratch.

He then put me in the basket while Isis covered me with a blanket.

"Will she be warm enough?" she asked Jii-chan.

"Of course she will Isis she will be nice and cosy" Jii-chan said putting some paper on the floor.

I sat up and panted as I watched them walk out of the room.

"Good night, young one." Jii-chan said closing the door behind him.

I tilted my head on one side wondering why they left the room. I then felt very sleepy, I yawned my small pink tongue sticking out as I curled up in the basket and drifted off to sleep.

Midnight

I woke up in the middle of the night with a start when a loud bang sound accompanied by a flash of light.

I sat up and looked around the room my eyes falling on window I saw wet drops hitting the glass hard I curled up again intent on going back to sleep when another bang sounded louder this time. I started to shake and whimper, I had no idea what was going on but I knew I did not like it.

'I need to find Jii-chan and Isis, and make sure they are ok' I thought to myself hoping that they were safe. I got out of bed and ran to the door jumping when I heard another crack. I ran to the door and looked at it trying to remember how Jii-chan opened this thing, I gingerly put my paw on the door and pushed the door slowly swung open. Taking a second to feel proud of myself I then headed to some stairs in the back of the hallway. The hall look really dark except for the occasional flash of light. Jumping every time there was a clap of the loud noise ran up the stairs following my nose which had picked up Jii-chan's scent, the scent lead me to door at the end of a landing with the door that was half open where I heard a soft snoring. I gently pushed the door open to see that Jii-chan and Isis were safe and sound asleep, silent letting out a sigh of relief that they were ok I slowly entered the room until I came to the bed. Just then there was another load clap and I yelped and started to whine and shake curling up next to the bed still shaking.

Solomon's POV

I woke up with a start at the last thunder clap and looked around I heard a whine coming from his side of the bed I looked down to see a black fluffy ball shaking and whimpering.(Yugi).

Yugi, young one what are you doing here? Are you scared of the thunder I said scooping her up in my arms and stroking her.

Yugi's POV

I heard Jii-chan's voice and felt that I was being lifted into comforting arms and being stroked. I looked up into his eyes and put my head on one side 'thunder is that what that scary noise is?' I thought just as there was another clap I curled up again and kept shaking.

"Oh she is shaking like a leaf the poor baby" I heard Isis say as she took me in her arms and held me close.

"Solomon, there is no way I am letting her sleep downstairs when she is shaking like this look at her she is terrified. You are staying here with us baby, we will protect you right Solomon?" she asked

"Of course" Jii- chan said as he scooted over little while Isis put me in between them under the covers.

I raised my head and licked them as a thank you and settled down between them every time a clap sounded they would stroke me which made me forget about the noise and soon I was sound asleep.

That was going to be my bed for the good now and I knew nothing would change it.

I was soon to find out that my life would change.
