My Dog Neko

Chapter 1. The Very Begining Of How Everything Started

Neko's POV:I'll never forget it I was just pup when my original owner dumped me off on the side of the road it was raining and I felt so alone and so scared I found a sign that read Lincoln County New Mexico I walked the streets of the town until I found an old ragged barn I decided to go into it and try and get some sleep the thunder clapped and lightning flashed I tried to fall asleep but the thunder and lightning kept me awake it was cold in the barn and I was only a small pup "why was I abandoned? "what did I do wrong? I had a lot of questions running through my mind but eventually sleep won and I fell asleep

Time skipped:The Next Morning
Neko's POV: the next morning I woke up hungry but I was too scared to leave the barn I heard a bunch of noises going on I picked out to where nobody could see me I saw a lot people coming and going horses riding in and out of town other dogs barking children playing and laughing I decided to duck back inside the barn I went back to the horse stall that I fell asleep in the night before I was so cold and scared I was shivering like a leaf suddenly I heard footsteps they were heavy footsteps I also heard talking there was a horse stall keeper who was in charge of taking care of the horses

Hey Chavez is everything alright? I heard the horse stall keeper asked someone

Yeah everything alright Jim thanks I heard someone reply back I guess it was the person named Chavez

I sat there for awhile until my stomach got the better of me and I started whining I guess the one who was talking to the horse stall keeper heard me because he came in and that's when I saw him he was tall darker skinned and had long black hair and dark eyes he looked concerned when he saw me I backed up frightened he sighed softly and kneeled down slowly so he wouldn't startle me he slowly offered his hand towards me

It's okay little one I'm not going to hurt you it's okay he said in gentle tone of voice

I looked at his hand and cautiously walked over towards it I nudged at his hand and he gently petted my head I was happy finally someone noticed me he sighed and smiled softly then he gently picked me up and held me petting me trying to keep me calm we walked out of the barn I looked back at it

So long barn I said to myself

We walked over towards a buggy bedside it was an elderly gentleman he was wearing a blue button up shirt with a black vest over it and butterscotch colored pants he had grey hair and he was putting a bag a grain on the back of the buggy when we walked up when he saw me I whined softly afraid of what he might think or say but he looked at me concerned just like Chavez did when he saw me

Jose where on earth did you find this little lad? The elderly man asked who had a British accent in his voice he must've be an Englishman or something

I found him in that old ragged barn over on the edge of town he was all alone and was scared he looks hungry as well Chavez said still holding me

Oh the poor lad well we can take him home with us and try take care of him until his owner comes for him the Englishman said

That's the thing John I don't think he has an owner he doesn't even have a collar on Chavez replied worriedly

Well I'm sure he has an owner and I'm sure his owner is probably worried sick about him we'll give the owner two weeks and if the owner doesn't come then we'll talk about keeping him the Englishman who's name I learned was John said

Alright John two weeks Chavez said before climbing into the buggy

We rode quietly I was tired and exhausted I yawned softly and laid my head down on Chavez's lap he gently stroked my fur as I laid there when we arrived I saw a farm house with a barn and bunkhouse and other buildings there were also other boys they must work for John soon the buggy came to a complete stop and Chavez got off while holding me I was scared I whined softly but Chavez was comforting he assured me that everything was going to be alright when we walked inside the house he set me down on the floor the floor was cold it was a wooden floor when I touched it the cold sensation touched my paws and I got scared I jumped back whining Chavez was standing behind me he must've sensed that I was scared so he kneeled down and I ran into his arms I guess he knew I didn't like that wooded floor so he took me into the living room I was happy he did that he left to go get the stuff off the buggy as I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off I saw several other boys coming in one of them looked really super dirty and had tobacco in his mouth the other two well one of them looked descent looking he had blonde hair and a surprise expression on his face and another one I guess standing next to the dirty one looked like he just rolled out of bed

Hey look at this little guy you guys the dirty one said coming towards me

I backed up frightened I was shaking like a leaf I didn't know what he was going to do to me I whined softly I tried to run but he grabbed me I bite his hand and he winced and cursed under his breath while trying to catch me he finally did and I continued to whine and yelp suddenly I heard something

Steve put the pup down he doesn't like that it was Chavez whose voice I heard

I guess the dirty guy's name was Steve he dropped me to the floor I hit the floor hard I yelped in pain before running over and cowering behind Chavez who sighed and shook his head and looked at Steve glaring at him

Don't drop him like that he could get hurt if you do that and leave him alone if you want to interact with him do it calmly don't just chase after him like you were doing Chavez told him

Where did he come from Chavez? The blonde one asked

I found him in that old ragged barn that Jim owns apparently he was there all night Chavez replied

Soon we had dinner and that's when I learned everybody's names there was Richard (Dick) Brewer he was the foreman of the group he looked mean so I decided to stay out of his way then there was Josiah Gordon (Doc) Scurlock he was a poet who loves writing poetry then there's Charlie Bowdre he's a pugilist in other words he likes to fight with his fists and then there is Steve he's known as Dirty Steve Stephens and he chews a lot of tobacco and spits it out everywhere and last but certainly not least Jose Chavez Y. Chavez he's a Mexican Indian Regulator Dirty Steve and Charlie love to hack on him or at least what they call it he' very good with knives he's more of a knife except but every now and then he'll shoot a gun if he has to and then there's John Tunstall he's an Englishman from England he came to Lincoln County New Mexico to start a new life and took in boys who had nowhere else to go and those are the Lincoln County Regulators and John Tunstall that night after dinner we had a read session where the boys have to learn how to read I was lucky I didn't have to learn how to read because well I couldn't talk after our reading session it was time for bed I was allowed to sleep in Chavez's bedroom mainly because I kept whining when they put me somewhere else so John decided to let me sleep in Chavez's bedroom I slept right next to Chavez that and that's how I became a Regulator and I wouldn't have it any other way
