Bound to the land [open]

[ruby]

Ruby weaved her way through the old factory, her normally curled tail came out straight behind her helping the tired brown dog keep her balance. Only days ago, she became a mother and she needed to keep herself healthy. Duke wasn't helping at all, and they were his children and the packs possible heirs if she played her cards right. Right now though, as much as she wanted to be feeding her pups, malnutrition was tearing her apart. She needed food. But she also needed to stay in the factory. Those pups were gonna die without her. Not because they needed food more so than Ruby, but because when Duke and Ruby met, he swore he'd kill them.

Glass on the floor crunched under her paws with each tender step she took, for now she needed to go back to the pups. On her arrival they all began to yelp, except one. He was quiet and often shoved away when it was time for feeding, whatever she could supply. She felt bad and attending to him first, grooming his dark chocolate pelt that looked much like hers. Only difference was he had Duke's tan markings. The other two looked like their father black with tan markings, only the male also hAd white markings. Just as she predicted before she was pregnant, they were gorgeous like the parents. Too bad one parent was a captive while the other was almighty Rigmortis alpha. It only showed how desperate the two of them were.

[atrb=background,http://i34.tinypic.com/nwd7p1.jpg] It was tiring to lose your memory and Duke was not helping. She was walking alone when a malnourished mother dog passed. Cocking her head she peeked aorund to see her go back to her pups. Misty knew she had to help and now she could. Turning around sheran outside and grabbed the doe she had killed. Grasping it in her jaws she drug it into the building and over to the mothr. I know you dont know me but you need food and I could tell. I am not a threat please eat I am fine. Smiling she looked at the pups and noticed she was favouring one. poor mother Sighing she panted lightly. The heat made her black bodice overheat. SHe had to help this mother throught this. Can I help in any way?

Fear struck Ruby's face as a black female stood above her and thoughts ran through her head. Who is this? Did Duke send her? She shook her head in disbelief and was relieved when she announced that she didn't mean any harm, she had even brought a doe to eat. There had not been a pack meeting yet, therefore no one but Duke and herself knew of her place as Captive in the pack. For now, that would be best for the pups. The last thing they needed was less food than they already had. Not that they ate solids but as time went on, they would start to. Most likely by winter if not before. They were born quite late in the season after all.

She placed the small male with the other two to feed, he was hesitant at first but eventually pushed his way through. This made her smile, she had no clue how those little pups thought, but it was probably quite a challenge for them when there was not much. This was her own fault. "Thank you, very much. I'm not exactly sure how you can help. It's much too dangerous for me to leave these pups unattended, let alone leave this factory. My name is Ruby by the way. It's a very nice pleasure to meet you."

The smaller fae wandered through the streets of Aregol City within the boundaries of the Rigormortis pack lands. Grumbles of frustration sounded deep in her throat. She hated it here, she hated having to live with other canines and rely on one another. As she passed by the old, abandoned factory her ears perked up as she heard voices sounding from inside.

Peeking her head in the doorway she noticed two large, adult canines but her gaze was instantly drawn by the small pups that were lying nearer to the brown, malnourished-looking female. Her head cocked slightly to the side at this. Why were there pups in the factory, and who was this brown dog living here? Hayley was sure she didn't recognize her while she did seem to notice some familiarity in the black female. Perhaps she had seen her wandering about before. It didn't matter. All the little bitch was thinking about is how she could have some fun with this scenario and take her mind off of being stuck here for the time being. In a way it was like being grounded, she had been told by a higher ranking member whom she couldn't even remember not to leave and had also been warned that she would be punished if found doing so. The little rebel found this "sticking around" to be harder than she had anticipated.

Pushing through the doorway she padded into the large room where the other canines stood conversing about something. "Hey there," Hayley said cooly yet in somewhat of a threatening tone just to strike up some reaction. An untrustworthy smile formed at the corner of her maw. "What's up?"

She's uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him

Taboo was traveling by herself, lost in thought. She wanted to find some friends. Her life was going pretty good lately, as she had recently bee given the position of a hunter. She loved to hunt, and a scenario played in her head that she was chasing a very fast rabbit, crashing through bushes and finally taking hold of the creatures neck, killing it with one swift bite. She shook of the thought. She hadn't been hunting for the pack yet, and lately she was only thinking of it. She was just excited about her feeling of purpose. Her bright blue eyes caught sight of a small sized dog entering an abandoned factory, and she heard voices inside. Behind those voices, her ears focused on the sound of whining pups. She could tell that the entering mutt meant trouble, she could sense the mischief around it. Taboo turned toward the factory. She was worried about that dog, and besides, she loved pups. She padded into the factory in time to hear the dogs say Hey there. What's up? She looked at the two dogs that had already been there, and farther back three pups. The mother dog was very thin, and there was a doe between the two. Te Siberian husky stepped closer in the room. "Hey," She said in a friendly tone. "I am Taboo." She couldn't help feeling like she was interrupting something, but she loved pups, and couldn't resist.

Ruby gladly began tearing into the deer, thankful some stranger had just walked in and gave her food. It's one of the nicest things someone had ever done for her. Yet, it made her miss her best friend. Kapera was the kindest and cutest little Wild Dog anyone could have for a friend. But she had not been able to see her since late winter when Ruby realized she had become pregnant. But now, she had no friends... again. Why did it seem that her irrational decisions always ended her in a situation where she was alone and desperate for someone who actually loved her for real.

Only a few moments had gone by, and two more females entered. The first one was smaller, and something just didn't seem right about her attitude. She seemed... just too settled. "Hey there, what's up?" Her voice sent a chill down her spine. She did not want this female too close to her pups, and she went to go lay down close to them. Not too close though, if she needed to get up she would most defiantly trample their small bodies. Ruby began to study the other female. It seemed she was much friendlier and had good intent. Yet she was also unfamiliar. Every second for Ruby just seemed to be more and more uncomfortable. "I am Taboo." The husky said. At least she gave her name freely.

A friendly yet awkward smile spread across her face, she wasn't used to talking ot more than one other canine. "Hello to both of you, my name is Ruby. I do hope I haven't taken residence in your place, if so I will take my pups and leave."

Taboo smiled kindly at Ruby. "This is not my place, I just came across it. It's nice to meet you Ruby." She padded closer into the abandoned building, getting a better look at the dogs. The wolf was standing by the partly eaten doe, and seemed friendly enough. Ruby was protectively standing near her pups, keeping an eye on the other apparent newcomer. So it's not just me. That dog seems like trouble. The dog just was too casual, and it seemed almost forced. She kept her gaze on the mutt as she approached the wolf, then looked up and bowed her head in greeting. Taboo didn't know the wolf, but she was friendly nonetheless. She turned her attention back to Ruby. She was thin, but her belly was distended. That deer must have been the only meal she had had recently. The wolf seemed healthy. They must have just met. The pups were whining and squeaking, crying for their mothers milk, but Ruby stood at a short distance. She was in a defensive spot, somewhere where she could protect her pups without them getting caught in the fight. She turned to face all of the dogs. "Who are you two?" She asked the unnamed females. "I do apologize if I intruded on something."
