A week passed by, and things are kind of strange. The boys are fine, but 앤젤 is kind of 연기 weird. Every night for this week she's been waking up screaming in the middle of the night. I keep asking if she wants to talk about it but she keeps saying no. However tonight is the last straw; I need to get some sleep without hearing someone scream. Tonight I went straight to her room and I wasn't going to take no for an answer. She didn't scream yet but it was about time for her to scream. She screamed and jumped straight up with her long loose hair flying in the air. "Angel, what's wrong?" I asked.

    "Nothing, I'm fine." said Angel.

    "Really? Because you've been doing this for a week and I need to get to sleep without hearing someone scream" I said.

"I can't help it! I just keep having these dreams and seeing these faces!" said Angel.

“What faces?” I asked.

"Faces! So many familiar faces and voices!" said 앤젤 as she started breaking down into tears.

I went over to her 침대 and hugged her to try to comfort her. I grabbed her blanket and dried her tears. "There, there it's okay. Can 당신 please tell me what the dream was?" I asked.

"Well there were two 개 and a puppy, they were in a junkyard. It was night time with a full moon, they were all happy and the 강아지 was playing around with her parents" started Angel.

"What's so bad about that?" I asked.

"Well there was a dog catcher, he chased after the 개 and puppy. The 개 ran as fast as they could. Unfortunately, as they were being chased 의해 the dog catcher in his car, the father got ran over" said 앤젤 as tears went down her face.

I put my hand on her face and wiped the tear away. "What about the mother and the puppy?" I asked.

“They continued to run until they came to the train tracks. Just when they thought they were safe, a train came. The mother grabbed her daughter in her mouth and ran as fast as she could, but her paw got stuck on the track and she couldn't get it out" 앤젤 paused to take a deep breath.

"What happened next?" I asked.


"She told her daughter to go on without her. The 강아지 did as she was told hoping that her mother would be okay. She ran as fast as she could until she came to the end of the tracks where she was safe. When she knew the train was gone, she went back to find her mother. When she found her mother, she was dead. She kept trying to get her mother up thinking she was only asleep, and then suddenly realized her mother's true fate. She cried for a while, and afterwards she went to find her father. She discovered he was also dead when she tried to get him up only to find it useless." said 앤젤 who started crying.

I hugged her and then dried her tears. "What happened to the 강아지 after that?" I asked.

앤젤 took a deep breath and said, "She went back to the junkyard to cry. She was cold, alone, and sad. She wondered what she did wrong to deserve this. She hoped that it was all just a bad dream. Unfortunately, she knew she would never wake up from it. As time passed, she had a human family, but they moved and kicked her out. Her 다음 one kicked her out because they had a new baby. The one after kicked her out because they were moving. After that, the forth family had a baby, than the fifth had an allergy. It wasn't until one 일 she was found 의해 a dog and he took her into his junkyard gang. They weren't much of a family, but she felt she had no choice."

"Angel, it sounds like you're having dreams of old painful memories." I said.

“I know! It’s all my fault they’re dead! I could’ve warned my dad about the car coming and he could’ve avoided it! I could’ve helped my mom break free! But I didn’t! I just ran like a coward! Why didn’t I just save them?” said 앤젤 who was crying the whole time.

I gave her a hug and wiped her tears “Angel, there’s nothing 당신 could’ve done. 당신 would’ve just been killed too. Your parents wanted 당신 to be 안전한, 안전 and gave their lives for you. It wasn’t your fault.” I said

She stopped crying and took a deep breath to calm herself down "Ever since I moved in with Scamp’s family I’ve been having these dreams. Scamp’s the only one I’ve ever told about these dreams; he’s the only one I trust. I haven’t trusted anyone in such a long time and then that goofy housedog came into my life. He’s the only real family I have now, especially since I’m probably going to lose my new family” said Angel.

    "You're not going to lose your new family" I said.

"Look at me! Look at the mess I've gotten myself into! I can't ever go back home! I sometimes think it would’ve been better if I had died with my parents; it wouldn’t make much of a difference in anyone else’s life" she stopped.

"You’re wrong! If it wasn’t for 당신 앤젤 I would be dead. I would’ve joined Buster’s junkyard gang, ended up in the pound thanks to Buster, and I’d be dead. If it wasn’t for 당신 dad never would’ve known to have come to save me. You’re a hero and truly an angel, don’t 당신 ever doubt that. My reason for still being alive is you” said Scamp who was spying on us with Patch.

"Have 당신 boys been spying on us this whole time?" I asked.

"Maybe-" said Scamp with an awkward smile.


"We woke up from the screaming and heard 당신 talking." said Patch.

"I really wanted to make sure 당신 were okay Angel." said Scamp.

앤젤 got out of 침대 and went over to Scamp, then gave him a 키스 on the cheek. "Thanks Scamp." said Angel.

Scamp blushed; his face was redder than an apple. "You're welcome! But now that I have your attention there’s something I’ve been trying to tell you-" said Scamp.

"Not now, it’s late and we should all be asleep. Boys, back to bed; Angel, try to get some rest." I said as I went back to my room.

“I guess it can wait, besides 당신 need to get your sleep, goodnight Angel” said Scamp.

“Night tenderfoot, Patch, Chris” said 앤젤 with a sly smile.

I don't think she'll be having any 더 많이 problems with those dreams of hers. However, that could be because I put a spell on her to keep her from having bad dreams. Magic, don't 당신 just 사랑 it?
