LinkOh No......
As the days grew colder, the pups grew older, and little did she know the terror she'll feel...
Napoleon has secretly trained the puppies, saying that he would play with them as crystal took her breaks.
During the meeting, the animals all gathered in the barn, where the meeting was held. Napoleon sat in the crowd glaring at Snowball. "Comrades! We all grieve for the loss of our dear friend Old Major! I wish to be your leader, we will have a great life, without Mr. Jones." Napoleon scoffed, "lies.... vote for me, I have wonderful plans, Snowball knows nothing..." Snowball growled, angry with him.
After arguing, the animals didn't know who to choose. Crystal always was for Snowball, but then Napoleon turned with his head down, and then emitted a high pitched sound.
All of a sudden vicious barking could be heard, paws steps rumbled the snowy ground as the puppies, now dogs, crashed into the barn.
They started chasing him, the dogs barked. Crystal grew so scared the little bundles of gray fur that nuzzled
at her belly became vicious monsters...
She cried out to them, begging them to stop chasing Snowball, but they didn't listen, she started running until Napoleon caught her with a hoof.
He held her back as she cried out to them... then blood curdling cries could be heard in the woods... "NO!!!!......NAPOLEON HOW COULD YOU do this...." She cried and cried and couldn't stop crying. "shhh... it's alright my dear please listen.... Snowball is a traitor... he was using you.."
"no..... he......" Crystal didn't understand, her heart shattered... for the first time life seemed fake....
Crystal cried more, and Napoleon hugged her. "shh...." it started to get dark outside, Napoleon gently heaved her up to her paws and led her to his nest.
they both slept, Crystal tried so hard to hold back tears. Napoleon nuzzled her trying to make her feel better, but to Crystal it wasn't the same at all....
Years went by... Crystal grieved for her lost mate. Napoleon was acting aggressive, he gave everyone rations, and they worked so hard on Napoleon's plan on the windmill.
One night, Boxer was working hard, he needed to hoist a large boulder up, he tugged and tugged at the rope, a storm started, Benjamin heaved as he dragged a large rock up the slope to the windmill.
Benjamin watched horrified.... Boxer lost his grip on the rope, and it fell on top of him..... he fell weak.
After weeks of hurt, Boxer was hauled into a truck, the animals bid farewells, but Benjamin yelled at them with tears in his eyes.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT'S WRITTEN ON THE SIDE OF THIS TRUCK!?" it read "horse slaughter and glue house" The truck started to go, and so Benjamin raced after it.
"BOXER! GET OUT! GET OUT NOW!!!" Crystal ran with Benjamin, she cried horridly, she fell and scraped her paw as she thought about Snowball's promise
"I promise we will be treated fairly..... I will make sure you have a great life"
After a long while, there was nothing but misery...
She slept alone that night, missing the comfort of Snowball's fur against her's.
But then a young male pig came and laid beside her. "Hello Crystal.... The day that Napoleon's dogs chased him off..... Crystal....he lied... he never betrayed you, Snowball would never do that....Crystal... he's alive! I will show you where you need to go..."
