My Dog Ames

My name is Chloe Hopkins.

My parents used to live in Ohio. I guess my parents thought moving somewhere else would be better. My dad lost his job back in Ohio. My mom was worried that we wouldn't have anymore money. But thankfully my dad found a job in Kentucky. We packed our things from our house and went to our new home. As we got to our new home I felt strange. Something about the house looked creepy. My parents packed our things inside the house. I heard footsteps on the second floor. My parents were on the same floor as me. So I didn't know who was on the other floor. I went upstairs to see who was up there. What I found was a stray dog. It was a Yorkshire Terrier. It was a female. I took the dog downstairs. I asked my parents if I can keep the dog. I was afraid that they were going to say no. But surprisingly they said yes. I named the dog Ames. I found an old collar and I put it around Ames' neck. Ames went to the living room where they were placing the couch. The workers placed my bed in my new bedroom. I placed my nightstand by my bed. Ames came running in my room. I petted Ames on her back. Ames was yawning. But I noticed something weird about her. When her teeth was shown, there was blood on her teeth. I felt scared inside. A painter came inside to paint my walls pink. Ames ran out of my room. There was something strange about her. It became night and I got on my bed. Ames came up on my bed. There was no blood on her teeth. Ames went to sleep right beside me. I fell asleep too. Ames somehow woke up at midnight. She ran out of my room. I decided to follow her. Ames went out the back door that dad forgot to lock. She went out the door and onto some trail. I didn't follow Ames onto the trail. It was too dark for me to see. I went back inside and locked the back door. I went back to my room and slept.

A few years later my family moved back to Ohio. My dad was able to get his job back there. I was grown up and I graduated high school. I decided to visit my old house in Kentucky. When I got there, it was not there anymore. I thought a fire had burned it down. I found the trail that Ames went on when I was a kid. I've always wondered what happened to Ames. I went on the trail that Ames went on. At the end of the trail was a hidden graveyard. Most of the graves belonged to children. But at the back of the cemetery was the skeleton of Ames. I was sad that Ames was dead. That's why she didn't come back that night. But I never could figure how she got blood on her teeth that day.
