My name is Polo. I'm a labrador. My owners are the best. Or rather, were the best. Now, I watch over them while I slip into another skin...a golden retriever! I'm determined to go back to them. They were a family of four! A mother, a father, and two daughters. I loved the younger one. She was full of fun. But before I continue, you have to know how I left them.The father was a famous man who had many friends and enemies. Enemies aren't and will never be good. One dark night... first of September, it happened. We were on the walkway. I was happily sniffing around when the father took me on the street. It was my favourite spot since that's where I get to work my nose. I was doing just that when I smelt danger. I looked behind us. A white car, those big machines in which humans ride, was coming towards us. I sniffed again. It was an enemy. And it was headed towards me. It shifted a little. Now the father was in the way. It meant to run him over. I had never barked before. I was trained not to. But now, I did. I howled. I howled a loud fearful howl. The father stopped and looked at me in surprise. He didn't get the hint. There was only one option left. I ran behind the father. He turned around and stepped out of the way. He tugged the leash. I tried to move out of the way in time but it was too late.
CRASH!!!
I howled. It was all I had left to do. I howled and howled. But one thought comforted me. I had saved a life. A life that would have left my beloved younger daughter crying. I didn't see anything. I became unconscious.
When I woke up, the father was crouching over me. I could see the mother's face behind him. I tried to wag my tail, but it hurt like crazy. I whimpered. The father reached out a hand gently. I let him touch me. I trusted him. He bent down over me until he was close to my ear. "Thank you!" he whispered softly. I licked him. And then I fell asleep for good, with one thought in my head. "I will come back. For sure. If it means trampling over grass and desert and ice, I will come back. To see the younger daughter's birthday..."
While I was telling you this, I've travelled to Earth. I'm in some sort of pen. A face bent down. "Woken up, little guy?" I recognized it. I barked happily. It was my first owner. The place where I met the father and the mother. "Ah! I see you've woken up your brother!" My... brother? I turned around. That's when I realised that no one knew that I was Polo. "Come on now, Khutock!" Khutock? What a stupid name! I'm Polo. I barked again. "I'm Polo" "Shhh!" I was taken out and handed to someone. I wriggled and looked up at the face. Somebody's phone rang. "Hello?" the owner said. She listened for a while. "Oh! Poor Polo!" I barked. I was sure it was the father. I barked again. I wriggled harder. "Oh, it's just Khutock, the new Golden Retriever." She listened for a little longer. "Good! Perfect. Tomorrow. Sure"
The next thing I knew, I was on a flight. I remembered the journey. I was excited. Could the father and the younger daughter be waiting on the other side? I waited. Finally, the door opened. And I was right! I ran out, barking my head off. The younger daughter was there. She bent down to pet me. Her hand moved all over my body and finally settled behind my ear, my favourite place. I was so happy.
Now, 2 years later, I'm happily settled down with my new name, Popcorn! It's weird at first but now I love it. The house is as I remembered. Except for my room. My bed and my playpen were gone. Instead, I had a crate and cushion. But I didn't mind! I was born in time to see the younger daughter's birthday. And I was the first person to wish her.
Hey, y'all! I've been working on a modern Pride and Prejudice adaptation for almost a year now, posting on Wattpad and AO3. I'm thinking about doing a big edit and trying to self-pub it on Amazon when I'm done. :) It originally started as a writing exercise, but it's definitely taken on a life of its own now!

Hey, guys! I have two of mine I want to share with you. I thought I'd practice writing some fanfiction before writing something entirely my own. I'd love some feedback.One is a one-shot based on The Folk of the Air series - https://archiveofourown.org/works/330... Warning: It's explicit
The other is a one-shot based on the Shadow and Bone series https://archiveofourown.org/works/328... - It's best enjoyed by Darklina fans and it isn't explicit.
