WILLIAM

[/shadow]

William looked angrily over his shoulder, pulled his black lips back to expose his fangs and turned again without a word, leaving his speechless father in his dust. There was nothing anyone could say or do that would make him turn around and apologies. It was stupid "King Harley's" fault that there was a fight in the first place. He was so pushy, so strict, that poor Will had no choice but to rebel. He was never ever going to have any fun in this life if he was not aloud to be a teenager and do something fun every once in a while. The sun was shinning brightly, and it felt like a day to go exploring, not get caught up in the dark camp. He wanted to live, to have fun. But, no, instead, he was stuck at the camp, literally bored to death, getting lessons on how to be a gentleman. That's fun. NOT!

So, instead of facing the insults and things at camp, young William, sole heir to the throne of Evalyn, made his way over to the Rabbit Creek, his favorite place to escape reality...and his father. "King" Harley, never went to Rabbit Creek, because he said that there were far to many bugs...or something like that. Actually, he rarely left the camp. Clara, Will's mother, was a lot more like her son, but she was powered by Harley, and therefore also stayed in the camp. She was too shy to speak up for herself in the presence of Harley, but time to time she snuck away to spend time with her beloved son down by the creek or any other place, really. She was the one who showed him the big wide world, the one who told him to follow his dreams and explore like any normal rebel teen would do. Harley did just the opposite. He trashed dreams, never had fun and didn't let his son go anywhere. It were those rare moments with his mother that William had that made him believe that there was a purpose to life besides ruling Evalyn.

With a sigh, the black shepherd wadded into the cold creek waters. The icy liquid swam squeamishly around his pads, chilling them. Although the water-level was no higher than the top of his paw, Will's entire body was chilled instantly. It felt good though. Warm wind blew around his fur, whispering sweet songs in his stick-up ears. The shadow dog closed his eyes, and dreamed that he was somewhere else, anywhere else. Just somewhere...away.

A twig snapped behind him. Eyes jetting open, the male German shepherd spun around then laughed at who it was. Wading back out of the water then giving a shake even though he was hardly out, he called Hey, Kylee! It was his friend, the newcomer to the pack. When the two had meet, they had instantly become friends, just because they were so alike in so many ways. Whatcha doing down here? Even though his father was always scolding him when he used 'slang', Will always used it behind his back. What he doesn't know wouldn't hurt him, right?

[N.E.o.N.]

I laughed, I couldn't help it. It wasn't a flirty little laugh or anything goofy like that. God, no. It was a pleasant laugh, as far as I could tell. My collie paw danced over to the black shepherd. He had been scared, and of me! It was a foolish little thing, but it made me skip and laugh. Was I...no, that's impossible. He had been my best friend since I had come to this place. He was one of my only friends, at that. Me? What are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be taking 'how to be a prince 101' lessons? I never liked Harley, Will's father. He was, well, not mean but just not pleasant as far as I could tell. Everybody else liked him, except Will and me, but then again, we were the only...kids. And we're four years old! But still the youngest. It wasn't right. There should be some little kids running around, annoying the hell out of us all. But there weren't. Something told me that maybe there would be another royal litter soon, but who knows. Ok, I followed you out here. But I was bored and there was nothing to do around the "camp". I sounded like one of the little pups, but it didn't bother me. He was used to the sarcastic whining that I always did. At least I hope so. I couldn't tell. But he put up with it, so I guess it was ok. Bathing in the last little bit of water we have, I see? I commented, sitting down, waiting to see how he would weasel out of this one.

((How old is William? lol))

William, the obnoxious little Willy, laughed along with his friend, enjoying the last little moments that they had before things got awkward between them. Not only because ‘that time’ was coming. You know, that time when things got awkward between best friends that were boy/girl. And also because his father was starting to drop hints that he should get a mate soon and the only female in his age group was Kylee. His best friend, Kylee, his only friend, Kylee. Wow, that would be a weird time when his father starting asking her, Kylee, if she had a mate yet or something like that. Even you should be able to figure that out. I’m ditching, of course. Nothing in the world would make me stay back there. Except if he had a friend that had to go through it with him. But that would be Kylee and he would want her to have to deal with it, so that was out of the question.

Of course. Was his comment on the next thing she said. There was nothing to do in that old, stinking camp. Only his father was totally happy living there forever. And his daddy was old and boring. No, there’s something else I have to do. I backed into the water and, reared up. When I landed, the splash was so big, it sprayed Kylee and got her soaking wet. There, I’m done! With a smile, and a tilt the head, Will wagged his tail and laughed. This was funnier than being in ‘How to be a Prince 101’ lessons.

((He's four!))
