dogs are forbidden to touch

There are rules in Syaza's religion. One of the rules are touching dogs is forbidden especially when they are wet. But not touching dogs wasn't really a big deal out of her in fact, shes allergic to it.

One night, her parents went out late and as a single daughter, shes alone in the house. she then played her blue bouncy ball in her room. she let the windows open for the cool air in. the stars at night was beautiful. she threw the ball all over the room until it bounced outside her window. she had to went out to get it back. The night was dark and cold. Mostly its because her house is closer to the forest.

She brought a torch along searching for her lucky ball. she didn't notice she have walk right into the forest. strangely, she felt a chill everytime she gets near a tree. After a few minutes, she heard a noise..she heard a whimpering behind her. when she turned around, nothings there and suddenly she finally found her ball stood on the ground and took it before walking back to her house.

two days after the incident, she had a dream about a dog getting hit by a car. she thought maybe its just a coincidence but fear and curiosity starts bugging her when she kept dreaming about that black dog. After dreaming it got ran off by a car, she then dreamt it falling of a hill. then dreaming it walking with injuries. the dreams wasn't really clear to see whats happened.

she had asked her mother about it and she replied,"well clearly you must have forgot to wash your feet before getting to bed dear"

But when night came,syaza did washed her feet and still, has the dream about that poor black dog having scary accidents.

after almost 2 weeks, she is had it when the last time she dreamt about it. it was horrible! the dog was laying on the dirt, one of its leg was broken and full covered with blood and the worst part, she sort of heard its whimpering.. with pain..and trying to fight with its own life. why??..why does that dream kept appearing?? she felt miserable. even though her religion is forbidden with dogs but that dosen't mean she hates them. she loved animals and nature.. then what is this had to do with her?..

Syaza's been thinking about her ball incident after the day she got those dreams. or nightmare. jeez..

she thought maybe it had something to do with it. she remembered when before she found her ball and heard a whimper...

that have got to have something to do with it.

she planned to wake up and went back into the forest after she have that dream for the night.

"no!!" syaza woke up with a scream. she of course dreamt about the dog but this time it was laying on the ground with majorly injured and suddenly a flock of raven biting the dogs skin like they're going to eat it! Syaza ran out through back door of the house so her parents wouldn't knew. she also brought her pink torchlight.

she then step into the forest with the same chill she got last time she went in it. after she had been walking for almost half an hour, she sat on a large boulder to rest her ankle. she became tired. maybe her plan of seeing the dog wasn't a good decision. syaza felt her tears running down her cheeks. why is she crying? truly, she have no idea. but the only thing she felt at the moment was guilt,loss and tired.

loss.. why does she felt that way for a sudden? for who? what? the dog?..she felt like an electric shock struck her chest. was it the dog? she asked her mind multiple times and nods slowly.

but..why?..

After that night, weeks passed and theres no sign of dreaming about the dog again.

if syaza suddenly felt loss and the last time she dream about it was the dog getting eaten by the raven, and now theres no dreaming about it, does that mean the dog actually gone..?? dead??
