  ~the fire cracking sounded like laughed and the watching golden eyes were filled with amusement.
"Well that was impressive, ugh, Scout" she spat the name out with bitter distain.
"I don't know" she cut me off
"how to stop him" she whined softly "you can't remember anything... again!" she scowled and threw her hands up in despair.
"I'm sorry..." the golden eyes caught my gaze, the brown ears turned all their attention on me for the first time in years and I swallowed hard. Her eyes shone in delight and she finally moved forward so I could see her properly. Her dark brown hair was shot and tied up and her chocolate fur lightened only on the underside of her tail. She was at the age I remembered her and unlike me she showed no sign of the dog heritage she possessed even thought it was stronger in her. My own muzzle paled to cream thanks to the dog and my build was different from hers but it didn't change what I saw. "Mother"
She finally smiled "finally remember the most important person in your life?"  
I nodded slowly and she moved towards me. She only reached my chest but her hand still rested on my cheek. I shivered at the coldness of her touch.
"Maybe you'll remember the gifts you got from my side of the family" she spoke softly as the ground at my feet froze. The light changed blue as the fire became encased in ice. "Maybe you'll finally stop taking his orders without a fight"
"I-I try" I whined softly.
Her eyes filled with warmth again "I know you do but you need to do better" she frowned "you've wasted a lifetime in his service Scout" again she spat out the name.
"If you don't like it don't use it" I muttered
"I can't" she sighed sadly "you don't know your name sweetie"
"You could tell me" I muttered dryly
"But neither of us like that one" she scowled "which is what I get for letting your father choose"
My ears drooped and she sighed again "I can't tell you what you don't know darling there are rules against it"
I sighed.
"still things are looking up for you"
"Huh?" I muttered.
"it's easy Scout" the name came easier this time "wake up"~  
"Guy's I think he's waking up!" the cry was foggy.
I rolled over slightly and tilted my head towards colourful shapes the blurred in my vision.
"wonder what happened to 'im" came a female voice.
"fell of the cliff?" a third voice replied
"wouldn't that have killed him?" the first voice, young, asked.
"yeah it would" the woman spoke again
"well what else could have happened?" the third voice demanded.
"you wouldn't believe it" I muttered weakly
Three pairs of eyes turned to me as I struggled to sit up.
A tan coloured jackrabbit stepped towards me "I'd stay down honey" she muttered kindly
"can't" I panted
"Can't?" this was the third voice which I now saw belonged to a zebra "or won't?"
"Can't" I repeated
"why not?" this was the owner of the last voice who was a black furred lion I'd put around 12
"Long story" I muttered
"well tell us as we walk" the jackrabbit demanded "I'm Lea by the way"
"Xan" was the zebra's response
"Sota" the lion beamed at me
"Scout" I muttered     
"well Scout start talking" Lea commanded
"I'm warning you it's hard to believe"
"try us" Xan muttered calmly
