not so little dog lost

[coventryanne]

Coventry whimpered as she rounded the store again. The pain in her stomach had dulled over the last few days, but was still there, gnawing at the back of her mind at all times. it made it difficult to think about anything but her hunger.

She could smell food somewhere, the scent was driving her in her never ending circles around the building. She knew deep down her actions would get her nothing but more of the ever growning weakness that was supping her dry, but somehow she couldnt stop herself.

[Amy]

A wild white wolf walked slowly into this new place. Hmm....maybe finding a good place to hunt wouldn't be so bad. But what disgusted her was how many humans there was. She had to keep low for a while. Summer was killing her, her coat had fallen off into a sleek, smooth white coat that was easy to keep away humid air. But God damn it! This heat was hard to ignore. With a low growl of annoyance she walked into this land. A store with humans looking at puppys, sickening how humans can just buy dogs like they don't have feelings as well. Or even keep them in a cage. Inhuman is what some would call it, Midnight calls it life. Yes Bloody Midnight is her name. I know she has a white coat but after a almost life threatening sickness was cured when she was a pup all her pure black coat had turned to white, odd but it helped in summer. She turned her head to a large dog on a chain, a smirk curved on her lovely maw. She crept closer to the dog, no humans were home so she could freely take the dog. A fence, easy to break, she lifted her nose to the little flat nail surface and pushed it up freeing it from the loop that kept the gate of the fence in place. She saw the dog was not big, only fat, cruel what humans do to animals but this is how she'll hunt. She ran at the dog quickly killing it but tearing at the neck. The dogs barkings were silenced forever. She dragged the dead dog away from the house she had killed him from. She ate some, but left the rest for when she'll need it, she dragged the dog more towards the store, humans were such idiots.

She saw something, a dog maybe. She stared at the half starved dog, pitiful. She walked over with the dead, fat dog in her sharp and strong teeth. Her uncaring grey eyes only stared down at the fae. "Here eat, if you don't you'll die of hunger soon." She said boredly laying herself in the shade under the buildings over roof, humans saw her and walked away, a small child walked up to her. No she wouldn't attack a little innocent baby. She had to be only 2 years old. "Doggy!" Shesaid happily reaching out to pet Midnight, Midnight did nothing the poor child couldn't be scarred for life because of her. She wouldn't allow a baby human to be hurt, it was so deffenceless dogs who killed human babys should be killed themselves after all babys are much more innocent and pure then teenagers or adults. The kids hands were close to touching her ears when the mother screamed out no and grabbed her child, the child cried loudly Midnight didn't care. She stared back at the female, "The names Midnight." She said, not caring if the purebred would ask about it, no she was not a pure wolf, she had a little bit of the Husky breed but she was one hundred percent wild. She had a home too. She yawned a little and stared a the female again. If she had eaten the dog, ok, if she hadn't then she'll starve to death simple as that.[/size]

[coventryanne]

Coventry watched the strange dog come forward, something clutched in her bloody jaws. It was dropped in front of her with a disgusting wet splat before the dog moved away.

A small yelp was pulled from her as she realized what was staring up at her with a dead eye. Smaller then her, a different bredd, but a fellow dog all the same.

Her mind recoiled at the thought of eating from the corpse of another dog, her stomach joining the protest even as she felt her mouth betray her and water greatly as the scent of the meat and blood reached her quivering black nose.

Whimpering in confustion, she crawled backwards away from the meal, her tail curled under her and ears down, the shadow of a low lying bush slowly turning her white coat grey.

"I can't eat this." She spoke softly, but her words traveled in the thick air. "Why are you doing this to me?" She begged to know, unable to understand the seemingly forced choice between liffe and death.. but only if she did something unforgivable.

[Amy]

She was a wolf, she hunted for herself, why she fed this confused, not to mention starving, dog one of her food she didn't understand. It was pity though, she felt it too, this dog was soon going to die if she didn't eat something. A laughing bark came from her as she yelped, 'pitiful the dog doesn't even know what's food in the wild.' Midnight thought smirking at the purebred. As that dogs mouth watered but she didn't even take a bite the smirk grew on her maw. How funny was this she was half starved and she wouldn't even eat food when it was right in front of her. This dog was a fool as she crawled away and said she couldn't eat this. Midnight looked disgusted, "What do you want huh? Dog food? Well sorry but no human here will take a dog off the streets even if your like on of their dogs, a purebred who knows nothing about living in the city." Snapped Midnight staring down at the female her grey eyes showed nothing. She grabbed the dead dog and pulled it away from her, "Like I said you will DIE if you don't know what that words mean. She grabbed the dog and tore a peice of meat from it and ate it quickly, "If you want to die then go ahead and starve for all I care." Midnight spoke her words true, , she really could care less. Unforgivable right she ate some of the dead dog again, it was good it filled the stomach with warmth and made the pain disappear. Of course if this dog was foolish enough she wouldn't eat any of it. "So if I hunted a cat and gave it to you, you would eat it? If there was some other thing besides a dog would you eat it? Foolish, your so foolish you won't eat something right in front of you, when will you relize that humans kill dogs on the street! They aren't good." Midnight said coldly again. Humns aren't good, they'd kill a dog for no reason just because it's on their lawn. They'd kill a dog because it has no home so it's a pest in their eyes, cruel these humans are yet they say that we are hurting them. If they knew the life of a stray animal then they wouldn't do this to us. Midnight stared at the afraid dog, afraid of it's own kind are you? afraid of hurting or eating your own kind then? Fool aren't you? Well lets see if you come to terms with life or if you'll run away from the truth.[/size]

[coventryanne]

"Humans don't do that.." She protested, fear sparking in her dull eyes as the food was being taken away, dissipearing into the other dogs maw. "Humans are nice and pet you.." But the words lacked force as the wound of her human leaving her was tore open again. It had taken her three days to realize he wasn't coming back for her, three days of sitting in the field, perking up at the sound of every oncoming car, only to have her hopes be swallowed up in thier passing dust.

"Please don't eat it all.." her words were tiny and scared, she didn't want to eat the dog, but she didn't want to die either. If she did, she would never find home again.

Almost on its own accord, her feet pulled her forward in jerky movements, closer to dead dog. No, no she couldn't think of it as a dog. It wasn't a dog anymore. If she thought of it as a dog..she would go mad for what she was about it do.

trembling all over, Coventry ducked her head, nipping away a small bit of meat, ignoring the almost humor at her plight that she could feel pouring off the other dog.

the food almost seemed to melt in her mouth, bringing a low noise of desperation from her. If only it had tasted awful, foul and rancid. But instead, thanks to her almost mindless hunger, it was better then anything she had ever tasted.

It was too late to worry about eating the flesh of a another dog now, a bite had been taken, not matter the size. She gave into her hunger and in a wild frenzy, began tearing at the raw meat, gobbling it down

[Amy]

Midnight stared at the dog as she spoke she snorted in laughter, "Oh? Then tell me why dog and other animals get killed by cruel humans? Tell me why they shoot us when we are only trying to bring ourselves food. Lif is hard for wild dogs and humans make life worse, they see us as pests and they try to kill us off, one by one." Midnight snarled. As she said something about how they are nice and pet you she laughed out loud, "Then tell me, if humans are so nice, then why are you here?" Midnight said harshly, that had to hurt didn't it? She could smell human on her, she was a pet to them. Midnight saw the fear and heard the words, she smirked and moved away from the dog, "Don't worry theres a lot left, I can't eat all this by myself anyway." She said her words were kind and her voice softer, true she was mean but she wouldn't deny a starving dog a meal, even if the dog had belonged to humans. A painful yelp made her turn her head, a dog, in one of those ropes that go around our necks and tighten on us, humans say it doens't hurt but Midnight's sure it does. The dog was dragged into a van and locked in a cage. 'that's how life is in the city for a stray, not to careful and your picked off the street like trash' Midnight thought and stared at the dog who was eating hurridly, soon she would be filled, that would leave the rest for Midnight. She rolled on her back pretending to be playful as a family walked past, they smiled down at her thinking she was a good dog waiting for her owner to show, 'Morons, or I'm just a really good actor' Midnight chuckled to herself and stared at the fae, "So feel better?" She asked smirking at the white female, "Now what's your name?" She asked sitting up and laying under a close by tree, shade was nice, she felt the wind blow on her and the sun stop beating down on her, she motioned for the girl to follow, she couldn't get heat stroke right when they were talking.[/size]

[coventryanne]

Coventry followed, almost blind to all that had happened around her while she ate, nothing mattered at that moment but filling her belly, which now felt about to burst.

Huger sated, she panted heavily in the heat, something that had been pushed aside in the face of more importiant things. Her coat was a thick one, even in her state of failing health. One days like this, her and her owner would play out in the yard, running through the hose. A small whimper of sorrow vibrated in the back of her throat at those memories.

"My name is Coventry." She said quietly, eyes roving the broken landscape, ears perking at the sounds of other dogs, yips of joy, yelps of pain and the sounds of humans voices rising above it all.

"Where am I?"

[Amy]

Midnight stared at the fae, summer was hot and this was her first summer in Sirius City. As The hungry female followed her she smirked, this girl really would have died if Midnight have not found her. Midnight stared at her, "You really need to not panic, or you'll get heat stroke." Midnight said boredly, she had a lot of snappy words to say but she held her sharp tongue. She stared at the female who called herself Coventry, "Pleasure I'm sure." She said rolling her grey eyes. As she asked what this place was and she smirked, "Sirius City, humans dream, dogs hell." She said chuckling in a slightly evil way. Her grey orbs stared at Coventry, "You're an odd dog, so how did you get here?" She said a gleam in her eyes, like she already knew how. Midnight could tell her human got bored of her and left her to die, humans are needy creatures when they get bored of something they throw them away, for them dogs are nothing more then tools. They always need more of them, once the tool gets old it's of no use and it seems Coventry here was just a boring tool for the human that he just got rid of.[/size]

[coventryanne]

"a dogs hell?" She echoed, the landscape instantly taking on a darker hue to her blue eyes. "Maybe I should leave then.." but she knew that wasn't a choice, she had already almost died once, and couldn't see making it to another town, a different town.

Her eyes darted back and forth, trying to keep calm as had been suggested, even as she quietly looked for any water. She had turned her nose up at the brackish water in the field ditch for two days, but just like the meat, she had given in and no matter its contidon, she enjoyed it.

"Ive been trying to find my way home." She answered simply, unwilling to sell out her human to this female she felt was judging her every word and action. If she hadn't broght her food, Coventry would of shown her dislike for the manner in which she was being reguarded. Least thats what she told herself, even though she knew she no strength for such a conflict. "My human is missing me."

[Amy]

Midnight chuckled, "Oh it's only if you don't have any natural insticts a dog should have, like to hunt and stuff like that." Midnight said and she waved her paw in the air gently. Midnight cleaned the blood off her paw staring at Coventry with no emotion what so ever. Her grey orbs were void of any emotion. So smirked, "So really this town IS your hell eh? I mean a pampered dog like you would never know how to hunt or live without contact of a human." She said hiding her enjoyment of tormenting this female. She liked making others hate her, it was more fun then others liking her. With a horrible smirk she stared at the female, would she accept the fact that her human had ditched her? Oh well. As she spoke again she chuckled, "Oh, ok but surely I would have saw a picture of you around this town?" Midnight said with a fake worried tone, "I mean humans always post a picture of their missing dogs and if he loved you as much as you think he would have looked far and wide for you." Midnight pointed out boredly, her tone lost it's fake worried tone. So Coventry would you have attacked her if you were stronger? Do you know what Midnight is? A wolf that's what, she's a wolf hybrid and here she's going to make herself known. She watched as humans took a puppy out of the store, the poor thing, doesn't know that that owner might be cruel to it. As every human walks past there is more then one dog owner who is cruel out of a handful of humans. Humans seem to not know the cruel behaviors they do to dogs. That dog she had killed was suffering, heat was killing it, and how fat it was would have had it an early death in it's life. Cruelty is in more ways then one with humans, the idiots can't tell the difference between what's good and what's bad, Midnight chose bad because, for her, being bad is more fun. With that last thought Midnight's maw turned upwards in a smile her sharp bloodstained teeth showed, she had the body and mind of a killer that's how she'll survive here.[/size]

[coventryanne]

She shifted uncomfotably, unwilling to admit outloud her human didn't want her anymore. If those words had hit the humid air it would make them true and she would never be able to sit at his feet again, waiting for the random head scratching.

all that would be left was this, this world that seemed to loom up around her without her permission in the least.

"Thank you for the food, but I think I will be going." She said briskly, knowing it was a bad idea. But nothing could keep her here to be judged and taunted, her different life a source of amusement to this dog. This wasn't her world, but she knew it was going to be soon. Until then, she wouldn't put up with being looked down upon, simply because she had been born into the life of humans, instead of the streets.

[Amy]

Midnight stared at this fae, she seemed to know that she was right, she herself knew she was right. The humid hair seemed to grow hotter as the sun rose higher in the air, but the shade hide her from the harmful rays of the sun. This world does not go the way we want it to, Midnight had learned that the hard way. As she spoke her foolish words she stood up and spoke her words boredly, "No, if you go out in the open you'll get taken to the pound for sure, dog catchers are everywhere around here, they'll find you." Midnight warned, her voice uncaring but held a slight edge to it, a real warning. She had not grown up all the way onto the streets but she was born wild, in the real wild but she left her family for travel. Who knows traveling isn't so bad but it foolish to move when in a weak state. Midnight stared down at the purebred, "Listen you can't go or they'll pic you off easily, you'll be locked in a cage, you need rest and to gain your strength back, then go do whatever the hell you want." Midnight said laying back down under the tree. If this dog wanted to find the human that left her then fine to whatever pleases you bu lets hope you don't die, because hunting isn't easy for a dog who's never learned how to.[/size]

[coventryanne]

"Why do you tell me if I go I will die, but insult me in the same breath?" She barked back, a bit of the hidden fire showing. "You don't have to say what you think of me for me to know it. I may be a pet, but I am not stupid. Ill learn my way around here, thank you. I may suffer as I do, but thats part of leaning, isn't it?" Her tone grew in pitch as she spoke, the stress of her realization that she had no home now almost breaking her.

"I don't need you, I don't need humans! I don't to stay here and be treated like a passing novelty!" She snapped, turning on her paws to walk back the way the had came, trembling as she walked, knowing it was the worst choice, but her pride wouldn't let her stay.

[Amy]

Midnight smirked at the dog, "So you have some fire after all eh? Put that to some use sometimes." Midnight said keeping calm and not yelling, after all this sun could kill. "I'm not saying what I think of you I'm telling you that if your not careful you could get picked off the street and taken to the pound, if that happens don't say I didn't warn you." Midnight said laying her head down on her paws boredly. Learning like that, she snorted in laughter, "You should learn from a dog who's been in the wild and on the streets hun or you won't survive, starvation will drive you to insanity." Midnight spoke of this, she knew of this she saw it many times. A smirk formed over her maw as she snapped at her, "Right ok, go starve in the next week orso I might see your dead body lying on the ground, have fun with life." Midnight said lifting her paw up in a almost shaking way as she walked away, oh this would be fun really, "Stupid foolish dogs with there pride as big as their overly large heads." She murmured standing up and stretching. She wondere dhow long it would take Coventry to turn her tail and come back, she didn't care though.[/size]

[coventryanne]

Coventry quickened her steps, the hot sidewalk burning her tender paws as she went, making her pace faster and faster, her thick fur bouncing with the steps that moved almost in time with her panting breaths.

She didn't need anyone to tell her what to do, she didn't need thier help, their pity.

But a little of thier water might of been nice, she mused as she went, the heat making her feel dizzy as the world took on a slightly surreal view. It didnt seem real as she pushed through a crowd of humans, each touch of thier skin against her fur like a mocking knockoff of the gentle petting she was use to getting.

The soft whimpers of her sorrow were lost in the rush of the crowd, as the sound of peoples protests and shock was lost to her, a stray dog, running through the city.

It was a suprise to say the least when a coil came down around her neck, pulling tight. Yipping and kicking, she pulled away, pulled back, but it was too tight. Snapping her teeth and pawing wildly, she tried to reach the human on the other end of the stick, but was unable to turn to do it, the stick keeping her too far away.

She could hear them now, the crowd that stood back, gasping ang pointing at them.. the mad dog, the wild dog. She had been a pet less then a week ago and now she was nothing more then a danger in thier eyes.

it hurt more then she could say as she was dragged off against her will
