Black ears perked at an unfamiliar howl. "Wassthat?" Piped a girlish and informal voice. "None of our business. That's what." Grumbled a lower voice, still obviously female but far less chipper. "No no, its something. Let's go check it out!" And with that the black dog took off. Damn it Bullet get back here!"

It was rare for them to be in this part of the territory. The farm lands were pretty far off from the pack lands they hailed from. Of course it was all the younger sister's idea, she always got the two of them in trouble. Then again the pack leader had told them to see if there were any dogs near the civilized areas that might wish to join them. Their alpha was not picky, and he knew how creative those street smart canines could be. But it had been the taller mixed breed's idea to short cut through the abandoned farms. and now it just got them involved in something the elder sister wished to be no part of.

Bullet knew it was the Ohu way, helping others in need. She also knew that taking the time to argue with Rush would just waste time that could be spent saving! So she ignored her older sister completely, taking off at a run as soon as she heard the commotion. The Tamaskan sisters didn't know what exactly was going on, but a human was aiming a gun at a dog and this just could not be! Bullet leapt to intercept the boy's aim, but for once her sister got there first.

"Run!" Using her stockier body, the white dog Rush tackled the boy in the legs. He lost his balance, toppling over. The taller black dog leapt to the strange dog's side, kicking up dust as she skidded to a halt. "Yo, go on git. We got 'em."

[Karinne]

Mkay, removed the old one so I could re-write ^^


Eyes wide ad heart pounding she spun around and ran. She would run far away and hide! Flying through the forest, she could barely feel her paws. Her heart was pounding so hard she couldn't hear anything else. She skidded to a stop as a small cave came into view and dove for cover. She had a choice here, she could turn and run back, perhaps help them? But what if the human came back for her? She could run... but that would be cowardly. She waited in silence, then broke the tension and went to hunt. She caught a rabbit and brought it back to the cave. She ate in silence, it felt like hours, but perhaps it as only seconds? Only time could tell...

[Feral]

The boy didn't stand a chance. The two dogs ran circles around him, often quite literally. While they were merely having fun at his expense, the boy panicked. Bullet snatched up the boy's gun in her jaws, dragging it off into the bushes. Now devoid a weapon, with a stocky white dog snarling at him, the lad fled. "Mom! Get inside now!" High tailing it towards the door, he shoved his mother into the house an slammed the door shut.

Rush gave a snort, before retrieving her sister. Bullet lay crouched in the leaves, like a puppy playing keep away with a toy ball. "Gnarr how do they use these things! Wouldn’t be great if we could take this back to the Alpha and he could use it to get rid of those bad kitties! Maybe Ippan knows how..." "That old dog doesn't even know how to scratch his own fleas. Now leave it alone and let's go." "Oh yeah that dog! I wonder where she went..." "Well sniff her out!"

Her nose to the ground, Bullet took off, leaving Rush to trail behind. At last the duo came to a cave. ”I smell a rabbit too.~” ”We just ate. You’re not hungry already?” The stockier dog sighed, as they finally stopped before the cave. Bullet shook her head, sneezing out dust before she barked into the cave. ”Hey! Yo, its safe now!”

[Karinne]

Gah, accidentally deleted my first post >.<

Karinne stepped out from her hiding spot and saw the two canines whom had saved her. They had looked alot smaller compared to the human, but now that she was up close, even she felt small. She sniffed casually and picked up the scents of many dogs. Perhaps they were in a pack? Dred prickled in her belly. Had she tresspassed? She had been too busy looking for that nasty smell too check. They did look tired, maybe they came from farther away? Or was it just from the battle? Questions buzzed in her head like bees, but she said nothing. If they could take down a person they could definatly take her down. She nodded her thank you and awaited what would happen next.

[Feral]

The white dog rolled her eyes, wanting to continue their journey as soon as possible. But her sister was far too excited to meet another dog. Not to mention the adrenaline still wearing down after facing a human with a gun. The white dog looked annoyed, her ears flat and tail stiff. Her sister was the complete opposite all perked up with her tail wagging furiously.

"Well what's your name? I'm Bullet this is my sister, Rush. She's a grouch don't mind her she's always like this. What were you doing messing with humans anyway? Oh we're from Ohu's pack like the legends ya know? But now the Alpha is Stark he's an alright guy just a little too serious but hey what are ya gonna do eh? "

Her sister could be seen visibly twitching at her sister's nonsense. At last she couldn't take it anymore. "Calm down and stop acting like such a pup, Bullet!" She seethed, shaking her coat and stomping off. "Told you so." The black dog quipped with glee.

[Karinne]

Karinne snorted at the younger dogs enthusiasm, and straitened up. She felt a bit ashamed after running away like a frightened rabbit. "My names Karinne!" She announced. "I currently have no pack, I'm a loner, I've got my own turf and everything!" She prayed they didn't think of her as to pupish they looked twice her age. Plus they were from Ohu's pack! She attempted to sound impressive "As for being by a human...." She trailed for a moment, switching into story mode. "Alright, so I woke up this morning and decided to go get a drink. To my surprise my beautiful tasty stream tasted stale! Stale WATER! Can you believe it? Puzzled I padded up stream and ended pulling his nasty corpse from the water. Just as I was grieving, would you guess, this random human jumped out and tried to shoot me!" She jumped in the air as she said 'shoot' just to add affect. She flexed her retractable claws and jumped into the air again. "I dodged back and fourth until he got me against the tree!" She stopped zigzagging and pretended acted out her backing up. "Just as I was going to bite his neck right out, he pointed his gun at me!" Her eyes were wide as she told her tale. She had added in a few fibs to make it interesting, she hoped they believed her. "Oh, and thanks by the way, if your hungry I have a few scraps of rabbit left over."

[Feral]

The taller sibling listened attentively to the other's harrowing tale. Her tail wagged slowly as she watched them reenacted their misadventure. Meanwhile the shorter of the two was out of sight. She knew her sister could talk up a storm, and there was no telling how long they'd be wasting time here. Rush also knew that there was no forcing her sister to obey her. They were both stubborn that way. Rush went to hunting, pouncing on an unsuspecting squirrel and chomping it down. She even crunched upon the acorn it had been carrying.

Bullet laughed as the other dog's story came to a close. Sitting down, her rump barely touched the dirt before she was up again. Food! Was immediately on her mind, and she was not shy about taking up the dog's offer. "Oh! Thanks!" The mix breed exclaimed with glee, hopping over and making short work of the rabbit. Licking her chops, she sat down next to the other dog. "m. But yeah! Anyway. You gotta watch out for them humans. I mean they're not all bad, sometimes in the city some will even give you sandwiches! But them there's some who don't like dogs. Or they have no fangs of their own so they get scared like rabbits and make fangs and try to use the against us cause they're afraid of being eaten."

[Karinne]

Karinne loved Bullets enthusiasm! She was sad for when her new fried would have to leave to go back to her pack. And by the change in daylight she feared that would be soon. "Humans..." She shook her head. "I never should have drawn so near I guess. All I can think about is why a dogs body was in the river. And why only now I noticed it... Definitely a mystery." She sat own and bean to wash on of her paws. "Were did your sister go? Rush was it?" Karinne asked, switching to clean off her other paw.

A rustle in the bushes made her head tur, but when she saw nothing she resumed her conversation. It was probably just Rush returning from where ever it was she went. She sniffed the breeze but it was blowing her scent away and she found nothing.

[Feral]

"Mebbe he drowned. Or ... or a bear got him!" She gasped. Bears, oh noooooo.~ Giving a cough in embarrassment at her own over enthusiasm at that idea, her tail swayed more slowly. But it returned to its swift motion once more at the mention of her sister. "Yeah. Grouchy ol' Rush. Shes jealous cause she's shoooooort.~" Bullet called over her shoulder, egging her sister on.

"Shut it!" Rush walked out of the bushes, glaring daggers at her sister. The look would intensify as her sister burst out laughing. Bullet went so much as to roll in the dirt in her mirth. The tail of the squirrel Rush had killed still hung from the corner of her jaw ...

[Karinne]

Karinne snorted, beginning to miss her siblings, whom lived far far away. "Bears... bleck. Strange that they would be active in winter. Well where I come from thats abnormal, not to sure about here." Karinne puffed, watching the sun begin to sink. This pair was quite funny, and she enjoyed their company. "You don't have to go back to your leader... or whatever do you?" Karinne asked. She looked over at Rush whom had a squirrel between her teeth. Karinne's nostrils twitched at an approaching scent. It smelled musty. A deer maybe? Perhaps another dog? It was mid winter, but could it still be a bear?

[Feral]

Wheezing form laughing so much, Bullet at last struggled to her feet. She still had to sit down, being too winded to stay on her paws. Rush growled and snapped before storming off. "Fine! I'm going back without you!" She stomped through the bushes in a huff. Bullet seemed not to even notice the explosion. Well, it was common with her short tempered, and short in general ... sister.

"Well, we have had problems with those critters in the past. There's even a whole bunch of legends about dogs defeating evil bear monsters!" Her tail started wagging again. "There's Gin and Weed and Riki and..." She rambled on a bit more, before catching herself. "Oh! And now that those dogs are dead and the packs gone Stark started up a new one in Ohu an we're hunters and we're supposed to be recruiting people too cause here is trouble. But its not bears, its big kitties thingys! I think..."

[Karinne]

Karinne looked after Rush as she left. "Wow, legends? And they killed the bears? How big were they? Were they black bears or grizzlies? I once had a Polar Bear come after me, that thing was huge!" Karinne lied a bit about the polar bear. She hadn't really Seen one... but she had heard of one! "I've seen cougars before, is it one of those? There pritty damn scary." Karinne huffed, thinking back to how she got the massive scar on her shoulder. "I fought a cougar once, with my brother and sisters! We almost had it, but it ran away! I got it by the throat, but it scratched me and was able to get away." She shared excitedly, jumping up.

"Maybe I should join!" Karinne suddenly blurted. She felt kinda ashamed. "Well maybe, if your leader allows it, then I can tell you all the stories I have!" Karinne barked, getting excited.
