He was gone. Jackie felt a hollowness inside of her, unlike anything she’d ever felt. He was… he was happy. Even as the others stood up, wiping their eyes, she held onto him. He licked her. Rather than feeling like a sign of romantic affection however, it felt like a more basic expression of canine friendliness.
“Matt,” she said with blurry eyes, “Matt please… think. Hold on… we can help you…”
He continued panting, not reacting to her words at all.
Lucas put his hand on her shoulder, the pads on his paw-like hand gripping tightly.
“C’mon,” Lucas said. “We’ll do what we can. We need to go.”
Clive and Patrick volunteered to stay behind, and begin investigating all they could about Seth’s “research.” The rest of them left the building. As they walked out to the car, Jackie saw two dogs - a Border Collie and some breed of husky.
Matt walked over to them and started sniffing at them, but the Border Collie growled. Jackie ran over there, and Mrs. Hewitt held her gun ready - but the Border Collie stood down. The dog looked up to them - an intelligent look present there - and raised its paw, as though in waving goodbye.
The dog barked to the husky, and then the two ran off into the woods. The two dogs, once Melina and her associate, seemed to harbor some sentience still.
Maybe there was some still in Matt and Ashley.
But on the car ride back home, Jackie felt doubt permeate her mind. Maybe they could save them - but what if they were able to turn Matt and Ashley back, and they had major brain damage? Or worse… what if they had the minds of dogs?
She hugged Matt tightly. He licked her face. Even though… even though he was no longer himself, in some way, he still… he still seemed to be himself… if that made any sense. He still wanted to comfort her when she was sad, cuddling up close to her.
“No matter what happens,” she said, “I’m going to take care of you.”
She heard Lucas sigh from the front seat.
“I’m going to do everything I can Jackie,” he said. “Hopefully, something that we find in Seth’s old lab will help us - and… and perhaps Matt’s last, final push there at the end, to get us to find the SD card… I’d completely forgotten about him hiding it, and never would’ve found it there. It may just have saved them.”
“Okay,” Jackie said quietly.
“Lucas,” Mrs. Hewitt said.
“Yes?”
“Is… is there any risk of… of this happening to us?”
Lucas was quiet for a moment.
“I don’t know Meagan. I don’t think so. Seth did something to them. Maybe he gave them a stronger version of the virus. Maybe he further engineered the virus to have more canine DNA in it. “
“What if we do start to change though?” Jackie asked. “What if it's rapid like what happened to those others? We wouldn’t have any time to…”
“Jackie,” Meagan said, “calm down. Like Lucas said, it’s going to be alright. We’re going to do everything we can.”
“But what if that’s not enough?” Jackie said, fighting back tears.
“Then your Mom will take good care of you,” she said.
“I… I just can’t imagine it,” Jackie said. “I can’t imagine forgetting everything… being a dog.”
She licked her nose. “... Well, fully a dog this time.”
Matt’s parents said nothing more. Matt sat, panting happily.
Thoughts from the past crept into her mind. Times she’d wished she could transform into a werewolf, run away from her problems and be a creature of the wild. Maybe… maybe being a dog… didn’t sound so bad. Maybe… maybe she wanted this, deep down. She’d be able to play with Matt and Ashley all day, playing fetch, getting treats…
There was something strangely alluring about the idea. But it conflicted with what she wanted at her core. She wanted Matt. The real Matt. She licked his face. He licked her back. He was happy. At very least, she knew he wasn’t in pain.
That didn’t make hers feel any better.
****
Weird dog girl was sad. Even smiling she sad, me know somehow.
Me get home. Me feel very happy. Me remember good smells here. Me more happy when weird dog woman gives me treat. She gives me a good belly rub.
Me sleep on weird bed. It big for me. Me feel weird. A human slept here. Now he gone. Where is human? Weird thoughts hurt. Me sleep.
Every day is good. Every day is better than being with the bad man. Weird dog humans get me nice things. They get me a leash for going on walkies. Dog girl takes me on walkies. Me like walkies. Everything smells good. Me smell good dogs on walkies.
I see the weird dog humans on walkies. Some of them talk to dog girl. She is weird, but less weird. I like her. Some humans see dog girl and are mean to her. Me bark at them and they go away. Dog girl tells me that me a good boy when me do that.
Dog humans give me other things. They give me new bed. It doesn’t feel good. Me like other bed. It feels nice.
Me and girl dog have fun playing. The dog humans are fun to play with. They are not home always. Me sad when me and dog girl gone. When they home they make me happy but they not always happy. Sometimes they happy until me get very happy. Then they sad. Being more happy and licking them does not make them happy again.
Dog man is very busy. He wakes me up when he comes home at night. Me always say hi to him even when me tired at night. He gives me good scratches then.
Other dog humans come. White and black fur dog boy and dog girl come. They nice but also sad. Me don’t understand why they sad. Weird hard thoughts come. Weird thoughts hurt. Me don’t like weird thoughts.
Dog humans talk to me weird. They want me to do tricks. Me like doing tricks because it makes them happy, and me get treats. Their tricks get harder. Me don’t like these tricks. They bring weird thoughts.
They still nice to me even when me don’t do their tricks. They make me happy. Me wish me could make them happy.
