After so long...[Whisper]

[ruby]

An explosion of noise, a fight. It was something quite unexpected in such a quiet area, and only one dog was around. One white dog, attacking itself with growls an yelps that filled the air with unresonable nonsense. But then it stopped, laying there as if given up. That was the life of Amaris. A struggle with nobody but himself. Why, you worthless peice of crap!? Why would you hunt like that?Because I knew what I was doing until you attacked me like that...

[/i] His breath was fast and weak, why did he have to be his biggest enemy. He was part of a pack now, he couldn't get away with this. If Dangle had seen, he would be in deep trouble. Hmph, I still see no reason to let you control yourself.[/i] Amaris let out a growl, his own growl. "He" was the reason Amaris was uncontrollable. Why couldn't he be normal? Or as normal as this crazy world was... he had to be insane in the world of crazies.

He layed there for a while, whimpering in pain as an angry voice yelled at him in his head. He didn't reply, for he was too weak in his head to even try. But the sun began to set, loner coyotes would surely try and get at him if he just layed in the tall grass as he did and as long as he got in the building he would be able to protect himself somewhat. As he got up, pain focused itself on his front right leg, where he bit himself hardest. Red blood covered the leg, it stopped bleeding, but the whole area was sore. Amaris walked on it though, he didn't want to appear weak, although he walked with a slight limp.

As Amaris entered the building, he could smell another pack member, somewhere in the small building. It smelt so familiar but he hadn't memorized all the scents since the pack meeting, where he had first joined. "Hello? Who is there? I'm part of the Skeleton Pack, although I may not have aquired the scent yet..." He shyly walked inside, his ears cautiously went back and his head went down. Dominance was not something he had and he wasn't going to show it, not here. He didn't even look the part with messy, bloody fur that contrasted it's normally white appearance.[/blockquote][/size]

[WHISPER;]

light steps barely made a sound as the she-dog looked around the old radio station. her ears perked as she heard yelps and barks outside but she didn't go investigate, that was normal in the skeleton pack. it was probably another loner trespassing and getting what they deserve. she wasn't one to be mean. she was just sick of all the loners around here, begging for mercy. then she had to waste her supplies on them when they decided to join after fighting. she mumbled something under her breath.

she stopped when she heard the paws of another dog hit the floor and a voice come out as the scent of blood hit her nostrils. she could smell the faint scent on skeleton pack, new guy, she assumed. dark brown eyes peered around the corner and she spotted the white male, his ears were back and he was limping. she looked at his leg and saw the blood trickling down it, staining his fur. she jumped up and bounded over to him, a smile on her face to show him she was friendly and meant him no harm.

"i am Zaira, i met you at the meeting. and i can smell skeleton pack on you, it's faint but there." she smiled and dipped her head in hello. her brown eyes still focused on the males leg. she was slightly shorter than him. she was a german shepherd but she wasn't huge like Dangle, she was smaller. she had been appointed the nurse, which suited her well cause she would rather care for dogs then murder them. she padded closer gracefully, sniffing his leg. "mind if i fix it up? i'm the nurse now and we can't have our members injured. can i ask who did this to you?" when she asked if she could fix it, it wasn't really a request. she was going to either way, she was just being polite. she bounded over to the corner of the room and wrapped some cobwebs around her paw and hopped back over on three legs, she was wobbly and probably looked really funny since she hadn't had much practice yet.

bending over beside him she began licking his leg clean, removing the dried blood from his fur. very carefully she wrapped his leg in cobwebs, and they stopped the bleeding quickly. she dipped her head once, satisfied then got up and looked around for something else, something to make sure it didn't get infected. ahha! burdock plants were growing right outside the station, she grabbed some leaves in her mouth and carried them back inside, chewing them up and applying them to his leg. "there, that'll stop infection and speed up your healing." she smiled and looked upon him with kind eyes. she set her rump on the ground softly, wrapping her tail around her paws before looking at the male curiously.
