Vow

Author: Lariat

The first day I met you, you were rather cold and somewhat rude. You seemed like those military dogs who didn't really care how their lives went. Duties and jobs to you were monotonous and mundane, I could imagine.

At first, because of your disposition, I kind of acted and treated you the same way. Our relationship was rocky at first because of that. But as time passed on, we started warming up to each other. You were still acting apathetic most of the time, but I eventually saw passed that and found it as one of your endearing traits.

I still remember all the times when we went out for a walk, we'd spot some birds and I would always laugh so hard because you immediately started crying and run away like a little baby. I'd always drag you along with me wherever I went, it got to the point where I wouldn't be seen in public unless you were there with me. I'd always have confidence in you protecting me, I didn't really worry much about my own safety. I always knew that you would be there for me. And in return, I would always be there for you.

Then that day happened. That day where you were about to be taken away from me, because you were protecting me. I didn't want that to happen. I didn't want you to be taken away from me. So I went out of my way to protect you instead. I got hurt in the process, but it was worth it. You calling me an idiot, telling me it was a foolish thing to do was worth it. And repeatedly telling you that I was fine, even though I wasn't was worth it. I thought it was all worth it because you didn't get taken away from me.

But in the end, you were. Those idiot adults, that idiot coucil. They were the ones who ended up taking you away from me. I still remember you saying, "We can't be together anymore. I'm sorry." The thing that I wanted to avoid the most had happened. And that was the worst day of my life.

So I decided to run away, just like you. Run away to a place where I wouldn't be stuck to the rules that separated us. Run away to a place where I could find you again someday. Then, I finally found that place.

"There are several consequences that you will have to face if you make this decision. Are you sure about this?"

"I don't care. I'll do anything if I have to."

"Words like that shouldn't be taken so lightly..."

"I don't care. I'll do whatever it takes, just to find him again..."

The first day I met you, you vowed to protect me and always be by my side. So when I find you again, I'll make the same vow to you as well.
