The lonely die first {open}

[Lady Stripey]

I'm sorry so sorry,,

The wind roared, the waves angrily lapping at the sky for it's disturbance. The two colors of blue swirled together, clashing, colliding. The water was dark, navy blue, the sky was light with speckles of gray here and there as well as clouds. Never ending was this battle between the two elements. It was as if they could not live in peace, as if the whole sky was just waiting to punish what lay below for one thing or another. Meanwhile, the shore was in a whirlwind of flurry. Tree's farther off moaned in protest, shaking, quivering like leaves might during autumn. The grass swayed, threatening to rip from the ground, to fly off in this storm. It was so odd, the way things fought like this, well maybe she only saw it that way, but to her it was a war.

Abel shook her head, the breezes raking violently through her black and brown fur. She felt cold and alone on days like this more than others. She tried to press her large ears toher head, wanting to block out the sounds. She was so tired of it all! A growl rose in her throat and she snapped at the wind with her sharp fangs, willing it all away. This was not her idea of a good day, not at all. This was one of those times she missed Clarie too. She had been her only friend, close as family they were. Than she had to go off with that stupid mutt who killed her. Abel had warned her but it had been too late, she'd already fallen in love with him.

She forced the memoris away. Stupid, her mind yelled at her. She snarled at herself, her came the split personality battle. You're the stupid one, she retorted in her mind. She heard a laugh, you act like you can get rid of me! Ha as if you could survive without my help. She snarled again, I can do anyhing without your help. I am strong. Sure, sure. You keep thinking that. The other voice started to fade, she had won...this time.

[Aztec]

Aztec splashed through the cold waves as the water swept him back and forth in the current. The hot sun came down on the his forehead. He opened his mouth and let out a long surprising yawn. By then, more waves had started to surround him and he ran out of the water at top speed. Or as fast as his paws would carry him. The same water he had seen everyday for the past 3 days, was now almost like a big dream that he hoped he would never wake up from. He could smell the flowers from on a small cliff nearby and sprinted up the hill just to the top. he over looked the whole landscape and only saw one thing. A dog sitting all alone. He wanted to turn away but, his eye's wouldn't obey and they kept staring. He so much wanted to jump down and say "hi" as nicely as possible but, while worrying about the fact that his life could be in danger if she so happened to be mean, his paw started to shake. not now please not now! he yelled in his head. his whole body was starting to give way to the deseise now and he was feeling sick.

As a young pup, he was mistreated in a scientist testing lab. they accidentally infected him with Huntington's deseise while trying to find a cure for it. so now, for the rest of his life, his nervous system is slowly dieing and every now and then, he twitches and sometimes it seems like a small seizure.

[Lady Stripey]

that we live like this,,

Her eyes scanned the area, lingering here and there until she caught sight of the other dog, a male by the looks of it. Suddenlt bam! There went that little, annoying voice in her head again. Go talk to him, you know you want to. She shook her head, no! She would not let this control here, even if deep down, she desperately did want to talk to him. Aw come on, just look at him! We could have some fun...Aren't you tired of being alone? Abel was slowly giving in, she was lonely...She snarled at herself, damn it, why couldn't she just get rid of this one part of her? She was so tired of battling with herself everyday. It seemed that the torment would never end, no matter how hard she tried to fight back. The voice had won. Her paws were moving, carrying her closer to the other dog.

She walked atiously, wondering if this might be some cold-hearted murderer like Clarie's mate had been. Shecouldn't think about that though, it caused her too much pain. Her heart always ached at the name, oh how she missed her old friend! She pushed away the thoughts, for now. She concentrated on the male instead. He looked about the same size as her, if not a little bigger than her even. After all, she was small for her breed, the runt of her family, hence why she was out on the streets. No one wanted her. Not humans, not other dogs, no one. She was an outcast who was trapped inside her mind. Prisoner to herself. Would she ever bee free?

Abel sighed, stopping a few inches away from the other canine. She didn't really mean to but her tail wagged a little. It was so so nice to see another! "Hello, erm..I'm Abel, are you new around here?" Ah out came her shy nature again. She hoped he would be friendly. She had nothing to lose other than her sanity of course. She wasn't even sure she still had that anyways. Stupid, stupid, stupid, she scolded herself.

[Aztec]

Aztec turned around violently only to face a small dog. She was very pretty and shorter than her breed normally was. With the slightest shyness, she talked. And with great surprise, Aztec found it hard to reply. He wasn't the shyest dog around and he definitely could talk to a big group of dogs. But not her. His lips moved as if to say, "y....ya I'm new" but all that came out was a whimper.

He felt pathetic. What was his problem??

He stood up from his state of shock and tilted his head in the direction of the road nearby as if to invite her for a walk. He might as well try to be friendly. After all, It would be best if he made a good impression in this place before he made his enemies.....


<< sorry i didn't right a lot... i have to go to dinner lol!>>

[Lady Stripey]

Her eyes were a warm, chocolate brown, just slightly darker than the brown of her pelt and lighter than the black. She had that same puppy look that was normally given to humans, only it was pretty much how she always looked. Innocent, maybe a little naive and just plain out sweet. Well of course unless her other personality took over. Than she was quite far from innocent. She was more of a flirt during those times. She prevented this most of the time but every once and awhile that little voice would break through. What are you complaining about? You know you'd never get anything without me. Abel tried to push the words away but the voice was strong, determined to stay there in her head for as long as it wanted. Well hopefully this other dog wouldn't think she was some kind of a freak..always with these stupid, silent battles with herself. It just wasn't fair!

Her ears twitched when he replied, her mouth curving into a small smile, just barely showing her white fangs. She started to walk forward a little, happy to walk with someone rather than be alone as she normally was. Sure she'd been on the streets for awhile now but that didn't mean she had many friends. Her fur brushed his as she walked by him, the voice smirking in a way. She felt embarrassed though and heat vibrated from her. Stupid! she yelled at the voice silently. Now what is he going to think?

Will finish later

[Aztec]

Tingles rises through his fur as the pretty dog waltzed by him in a flury of mouvment. He felt dazed by her beauty. Her pelt shone in the sunlight that pieced his heart so. His paws were frozen to the soft sand. When he finally looked up at the dog, she seemed to be in her own world. Like she was talking to herself. He was amazed by her self consiousness. He stood up from his thinking and turned to face her. He reopened is mouth and howled the loudest he could. "sorry I really had to do that" his gaze was now fixed on her blue ocean eye's. He got lost in them and felt like he was drowning in them like an eternel depth.

[celadonwolf]

I (Sahara) was walking on the beach when I saw a Black Lab and a German Shepherd. I sniffed the air. The Lab was a male and the German Shepherd was a Female. I approached them with caution. Soon, I was beside the German Shepherd. The moment I looked into the Lab's eyes, I fell in love. I looked at him with my Milk Chocolate Brown eyes. "Uh... hi." I said. I had to get rid of the other dog. I felt like she was my compatition for the male. I warned her with a barely audible growl. I leaned over to her, my snout almost toughing her ear. "Don't try anything stupid. Lay off. He's mine!" I growled to her. I thought that i was prettier than her. i was ready to fight if that's what this came to.

[kichiki]

Like sketch of life. Kichiki, now starved rib deep, glanced over the subtle paw-prints; each unique one making a small impact upon the beach, yet continuously disappearing and eventually... forgotten. With light rolling ocean brought him back into reality with a sprinkling splash, he decided the dog before him must have been running due to the deeper toe marks. Hopefully the prints would lead to some edible substance. He had been on the move for a day and a half trying to distance himself as much as possible from the flames of that despicable human Wincing in pain from his embedding collar, he placed one paw in front of the other making a game of stepping on the paw-prints

Blurred fur faded into vision as Kichiki laid eyes upon a group of dogs in the distance. Finally, a chance to talk. A chance to feel. A chance to forget. Excuse me, I'm Kichiki. I've traveled quite a distance and I was wandering if... his vision darkened for a a moment as he paused, Is there any nearby supply of food?

Slowly raising his matted head, he found the eyes of a strange shepherd. Her glass eyes not revealing a specific emotion, maybe confusion? Then a tri-colored female; she seemed agitated. Her eyes deep, betraying a complicated position.

[celadonwolf]

I turned around sharply. The Chow looked pathedic. Matted fur and ribs showing. I felt bad for him, yet, he seemed quite the character. I decided to help him out. "Yea, there's some trash pails over there. You might get lucky and find a hotdog." I said gesturing with my snout. I walked over to him. I started to lick him with long, rythmic strokes, just to clean his fur. I kinda liked him already. "So," I said as I licked, "Where'd you from?" I looked at his neck. An embedded collar. It looked like it was causing him some pain. I shuffled through his neck fur until I reached the collar. I got my teeth around it and with a snap of my jaws, The shredded collar fell to his paws. I looked at him. "Better?" I asked him

[kichiki]

Kichiki muffled a yelp as the collar was torn off. I uh... Taken aback by the soothing licks coupled with the cool air now whipping around rear of his neck. Yes, that is much better Breathing deeper than he had in days he responded again, I'm from the City suburb. It seemed surreal. She is so kind, yet void of all reason to be. I am neither friend nor an acquaintance. Pity, that must drive... no her voice is too kind. May I ask your name? Looking back at the lab Kichiki determined it must just be a show for him, Surely a female of such lush coloration combined with the tenderness of a warm moss beneath the shade must have a mate.

The least he could do was to help her gain the recognition of the lab in return for her kindness. Through part of himself felt indebted, Kichiki's thought himself true in stating the marvel of a companion he had come across. You must have been God's design to have been clothed in the fur of Autumn, perhaps a will forged in the Summer's heat, and a soul birthed of Spring. Yet I fear you have no coldness for your heart carries this soul higher with each word. there, if that doesn't get his attention nothing will. As if in a side-note Kichiki leans in, I wish you the best of luck, but as for me the hotdogs are calling. Please if by some chance you wish to speak with me or... by this point a blush if any a dog could brandish one his was visible, well anything come by here. with that he began his lonely trot to the trash. Though those eyes, wells of kindness rang indefinitely into the corridors of his mind. He couldn't shake it. He had to speak to her again.

Taking a step out towards the trash, he paused. As if his paws had sunk into the sand. Uh, could I perhaps stay a moment longer, or... his eyes shifted down would you just prefer "first place" company?

[celadonwolf]

I bushed as he said those words. "No, I do not have a mate. Oh, my name is Sahara. Sure, you could be my companion." I responded, a smile crossing my face.

[kichiki]

So, this kindness was not attributed to a selfish end? Perhaps, maybe, I was wrong. This doesn't even make sense. How can she be so trusting? To a strange forgotten dog. Kichiki seemed to freeze in place. This changes everything. An element of kindness applied at random, no. An innate kindness causeless. Redemption, forgiveness, these complete feelings of greatness enacted after an act of evil are but feelings lacking perfection. This new feeling greater than the rest was first and always: causeless! I, I don't understand. Why? The chow's eyes dilated as he was filled a intense, compelling, feeling. A hole who's well was endlessly and overwhelmingly filled.

Looking into her eyes kichiki breathed, You are beautiful not for her fur nor face, but the for magnitude of completely opening a new world to him. For letting him see the grandness of nothing and how complete it was. Not once was Kichiki not able to ascribe a reason of self promoting to an action up until now. It made no sense to him, beautiful non-sense.

Please I need to know. You have, in a few moves, completely undermined my whole awareness of self. Why, how could you just trust a complete stranger? I doesn't make any sense.

[celadonwolf]

I responded "I don't fight another dog unless I have to or I see them as a threat. I don't see you as a threat. I welcome all! Puppies, elders, you name it. To the trash can, the Hotdogs await us!"

[kichiki]

Well that hurts slightly. Completely nonthreatening... I'll have to work on that. But first; HOT-DOGS WOOOOO! His stomach growled with the ferocity of a lion high on LSD.

Coming upon a few cans of trash, Kichiki nimbly targets a half hot-dog and flips it into the air only to be caught midair sinking down the chow's throat. I learned that from this show dog from when I was, well, owned. God I remember that glorious day. My sister and I where shore-wins for the gold. I got second. That word seemed to cause his hind leg to twitch. He looked down from the sky coming eye to eye with a false smile, I love this time of day when it is so sunny out. Carrying on in a tone not quite his, Life has been kind to me.

So, what's your history? Perhaps if I just pretend, like her, I too can be happy. Maybe I can just forget...

[celadonwolf]

"Well, life wasn't so kind to me. I always alone. I thought I never had parents, and that I thought I just popped out of nowhere and started to begin life, but that's not really what happened. I had two large black dogs for my parents, but right when the pups were born they knew that they were going to leave them. I had 3 sisters and 2 brothers, my mother fed us and took care of us tell we open our eyes. The day when we saw life and light, you think there life was just beginning, but it was just ending for most of them, I thought our parents would come back and take care of us. I waited weeks for them, But they never came back for me. My brother and sisters left me, Finally I left, starving and hungry. My ribs visible through my pelt. I stumbled over something, looked down in the snow seeing it was the dead body of my brother, I tried to ignore it. I began to see my sisters on the ground turning into bones with some rotting flesh still hanging on strands of skin with meat still left on their boney bodies. I past all my sisters and only one brother. The brother I didn't past was Saturn, but it still made me angry thinking my parents didn't even love me and my siblings at all. I tell everyone that I never had parents, and that I just came here to live a horrible life and death in this cruel world." I stopped and cried. Falling to the ground. Sadness and anger had taken over my body shook violently and the sand turned wet with my tears.
