Chapter Six:

Caleb

Caleb felt free, utterly separate from the world and yet more in tune with it than he’d been in a long time. He smelled the fresh grass beneath his paws, and the scent had his tail wagging furiously as he raced after the ball.

It was simple, so very simple, and he loved it. There were no worries in his head, not like there usually were. He was just… there, existing, and there was nothing else. He didn’t have to worry about his next meal even if his mouth still tasted a bit of kibble… but he didn’t mind that anymore. He was thirsty, but that was okay.

His master would take care of him soon.

His sweet, patient master — the one he’d felt the need to challenge because he’d been in charge once, and the man had to prove he was dominant over him. But the dog walker had collared him, and for that, he felt an intense connection to him he couldn’t back away from.

It was soothing, and even though he didn’t chase the thought, he knew it was a good one. It was a memory of before, and it filled him with even more warmth than the sun.

It took him a moment to get the ball this time, and he paused long enough to nose it forward, enjoying it, before he took it into his mouth. He turned, ready to bound back for more pets and treats and relief from the arousal that was starting to become a little painful.

But right behind his master was his other master, his real master — the one who locked him away and ignored him, the one who forgot about him and isolated him. His tail tucked between his legs, he started to slowly edge toward them, registering the disapproving look on his… on the new guy’s face.

Even though he instantly assumed it was because he was slow, Caleb still couldn’t bring himself to go any faster. He saw a glance from the man to his real master, the one who stood there impassively with his fingers clenched into fists at his sides.

He bit down a little harder on the ball, and the material tore a little. He whimpered. He was going to get in trouble for that, wasn’t he…?

His would-be new master’s voice came out forced but the frustration on his face faded into something resembling the pleasure that was usually there when they’d played. “Come on, Pup. Bring us the ball.”

Us. Not me. Maybe…

Did that mean his old master? Current? He didn’t know how to think of them, and he frowned a little around the ball before trotting forward at a pace that was more comfortable than playful.

He got close to his dog walker — his! — but before the man could take it out of his mouth, he ducked by and went to his other master. His tail wagged, just a little hopefully, though he cowered in front of the dark-skinned man.

The man stared down for a moment, and Caleb trembled, his tail tucked fully between his legs.
