The Song.

Mai

With her nub of a tail tucked between her legs as far as it would go she recalled the loose car, it didn’t have a driver in it; why not? She continued to yip despite her mental distress. The beautiful little pup jumped about the forest, looking somewhat like a rabbit with the way she launched herself into the air to hop over logs and such. Loud whines hung in the back of her throat as she continued to hobble and hustle to where the scent of the strays became thicker. Just then her green and blue eye spotted the lodge!

Thank you god, it was here! She yipped still trembling despite her bustling motions towards the run down lodge. Jumping at the door she let her little nails scratch at it furiously. Yipping and howling like a mad mutt one would be slightly surprised a little pup such as herself could let out such odd noises of sadness; such deep howls of sorrow. Mai stopped her clawing and backed up, sitting on the steps trembling gently, she hoped in the back of her mind whoever came to great her would be nice.

In a sudden act of grief she lifted her little maw up into the air; her pink nose twitching softly as the tears flew from her eyes, passing over those weird markings of hers. As soon as her nose touched the sky her lips pulled into an ‘o’ and she let out the saddest little song her puppy throat could conjure. Which was one that was truly saddening.

<3 Kailani<3

Not too far away within the woods the form of a young german shepherd moved about. She'd seen something rather tiny dart past her and had followed it at a distance only to pause in her footsteps as she saw it sit down whimpering, whining, and letting out an sad song. Her harks flew back sadly. She wondered what was wrong.

Rising to her tendons after having been sitting she strode over the the side of the young pup, her dial lowering softly as she delivered a soft nuzzle of comfort to the pup's cheek. "Shhh.. little one. Why do you cry?" asked the young female as she stood watching the young pup with eyes of resilient chestnut coloring.

"Are you lost? Did you get hurt?" she asked as she then sat down near the pup, her gentle stare continuing to focus upon the young whelp. To tell you the truth, Kailani was quite lost herself. She'd wandered to this place in the morning after having left her sleeping spot within the playground and wasn't quite sure what this place was called. But oh well. At least she had some company. The pup. It was better to be in an unfamiliar envirionment with someone than to go at it alone. She hoped that she'd be able to help the pup or at least comfort her.

Jack, who had been in the lounge, abruptlt got up, hearing the cries of the pup. Hobbling over the the door as fast as he could, he threw his weight against it, opening it. See in another dog, a fae, he nodded respectfully to the two. He had always been respectful towards the faes. "Afternoon ladies. What can I do for you?" he asked, sitting down in the door way.

Looking at the pup, his heart softened. He would have loved to have pups if it wasn't for the blasted humans. "What's wrong little one?" the three-legeed dog asked softly, gazing a the fae pup in sympathy. The two must have been lost.

Looking back up at the older fae, a Shepard, he wondered if perhaps she was this pups adopted mother. "Are you here to join the pack? Or are you lost? Or perhaps both." he asked/said, head tilted slightly. The old dog had never grown out of his curious stage.

Mai

Whimpering she lowered her little maw only to hear someone approaching her. Standing her back arched and her hair fluffed like a cat, and a shrill growl exited her only to be nuzzled. She gently shied away from the maw at first then heard that soft voice, mama? No. It was a German shepherd. Whining she leaned against the fae, lapping at her throat she attempted to cuddle with her. This would be her new mama, for now, until her mommy came back here after fighting off that beast of a hunk of metal.

After softly settling herself against the other female and whimpered gently, “My momma.” She whispered only to see a male. Yipping she scurried behind this other female here and peeked out from behind her; ready to attack. She let that show with her tiny lip pulled back, showing off very very small needle like teeth. Though, if this male decided to get any closer it was more than likely that she’d just hide behind her new mom, for protection of course.

Just as she was hunkered down behind the shepherd she slowly revealed herself. Unsure if this male would let such a vicious female such as herself enter a stray pack. She could conform, she finally concluded; looking the male over, just then her shyness slowly faded away and that bubbly little question asking fur-ball showed. “Where’d your other leg go?” she asked glancing around. Could he detach his parts!? That was so cool!

ooc; Yea, there's a posting order now.
Me, Torment, Skitts. Whoever joins next can post where ever. PLEASE stay in your order. I hate when people post just as I do and I have to edit mine.

Never mind..
I guess now it goes Me, Skitts, Torment then whoever. Once again, please stick to the order.

[Skitt is Under Marmalade Skies]

He chuckled slightly at the pup’s apprehension towards him. Of course, it was to be expected. However, he grew excited as she asked him about his leg; he was always happy to have someone to tell his stories to. “Well.” he said, pausing slightly. He’d have to make it a little less scary. The last thing he wanted was to scare the pup. “I got into a fight with an alligator.” he finished. If she wanted to know more, he’d tell her more. But if not, than that was fine too.

Move aside slightly, he nodded his head into the lodge. Even though you were supposed to be a member to enter, he couldn’t just leave the pup outside! “Please, come in. Hopefully Darthyn will show up. I mean, if you two want to join.” he said, hoping they would. The pup seemed like one to whom he could tell all his stories, and he liked that

[x.Torment.x]

Kailani's head lightly turned as she heard another voice only to see the three legged dog. He spoke of a brute known as Darthyn and the name wasn't one that she'd heard before. Pack.. Another thing he mentioned. There was a pack here? What's that?

Stepping towards the small three legged dog teh german shepherd let her tail sway gently as she lightly sniffed at his maw, the pup still behind her at the moment. She then stepped back lightly as she looked to the brute before sitting down. "Who's Darthyn?" she asked with a cant of her head. "Oh, and by the way.. my name is Kailani.. You can just call me Kai if you want.." she said as she looked back to the brute before glancing back to the pup.

This was turning out to be a rather interesting meeting between canines and Kailani wasn't sure what to think about it and so she merely sat quiet for a while as she looked between the pup and the three legged canine.

Mai

Her head tilted to the right a bit, an alligator? Weren’t those only in the stories? She hopped with her new happiness leaking through that innocent smile of hers. She giggled and shook in excitement, her tail wagging. “Did it eated it?” she asked moving forward slightly, but soon returned to the side of this female, who’s name was Kai. She let out a soft sigh and sat beside her, gently leaning against her the excitement slowly wearing off as she thought about her momma.

It was sprinkling when her mom was carrying her by her scruff, bending her neck so the little pup wouldn’t get rained on she saw an ally, one that had a garbage can with the lid propped up like a roof. The mother smiled, still holding her baby in her jaws. Her eyes were forward and she ran across the street, Mai was giggling from the soft rain droplets hitting her maw. Only to feel her mother’s grasp let go and she was flung forward. She hit a wall, and stumbled back. Her mismatched eyes whirled around to see her mother; bleeding and whining under a wheel. There were only a few people; bickering about how the car was unattended. Then her mother told her to run. Mai did exactly that, darting through the hands attempting to grab her. Her little legs pumped her through then ran and to a creek. She remembered jumping through the creek, her body soaked with the rain and creek water. Her little tail was tucked between her legs. She moved to a log, one that was resting on a tree, creating a little hut. And she stayed there for the night.

Huffing a sigh Mai shook her head, ridding herself from the image of her mother and looked to her tiny paws. Little claws digging at the moist ground.

Jack blinked, unsure of what to say. He didn't want to scare the pup or something. Deciding to leave it unanswered, he lept up onto a couch looking down at the two femme's. Of course, they weren't really supposed to be in here, but who cared? It wasn't like he was going to really get in trouble. "So, whats your name?" he asked the pup, hoping she wouldn't bring up the previous subject. He didn't want to feel bad for scaring here. And he couldn't just tell her how it really happened! That version was so boring.

Yawning widely, he rested his head on his remaining front paw, brown eyes looking down at the fae's." You know, I got into a fight with a very mean badger one time. That's how I got this scar" he said, motioning his head to a small scar across his muzzle. "You gotta be careful of them. Mean things."

[x.Torment.x]

Kailani's gaze continuously flitted about for a moment as she looked between the pup and the three legged canine of which she had yet to learn the name of. She wondered where both of them came from as well as a good many other questions about this whole things. Soft sigh slipped past her lips and she felt a bit silly, having been so busy of mind rather than busy of tongue in getting to know them. She couldn't help it, though, she was feeling a lil shy at the moment.

Her feelings of shyness soon changed to feelings of sadness as she seemingly picked up the feelings that the pup was feeling as she sat at the ebon chocolate shepherds feet. Kailani gently nuzzled the small femme reassuringly. She didn't know what was bothering the little whelp, but it made Kailani's heart sink when she saw the little femina look down at the ground in such a forlorned manner. Gently lifting her head she allowed her soft and warm pink tongue to slip past her kissers as it then graced the pup's cheek in a comforting manner before the shepherd nuzzled her and looked back up at the brute. She wanted to let the little female know that she wasn't alone and that she had a friend in her.

As the brute spoke to them once more about his injuries, Kailani's gaze briefly flitted to his missing leg only to move back to his eyes once more as she again addressed him. "What is your name? And.. who is this Darthyn that you speak of?" asked the shepherd female with a curious cant of her head. Perhaps he'd not heard her ask of Darthyn.

Rita

'How Are You, Sweetie? Don't Worry, I Won't Let Anyone Hurt You'

[/i][/center]

A farm dog, entered the scene with a large belly, baring her pups. She had a beautiful tan coat, with floppy ears and a dazzling smile. Her name was Rita, and she was in love.
Her heart felt like it could explode any minute, and a permanent smile was fixed onto her elegant maw when she thought of Loch. Her mind filled with thoughts of him, and how she hoped he would be there when she gave birth. She wanted him to be, it would mean everything to her.
She was glad he was safe, and she was also glad she had a safe place to stay here. She had been in mortal danger when she had come waddling to the doors of the lodge, practically pleading to be taken in. She felt blessed to know Darthyn and the pack, they and Loch were her family now that her two legs were missed.

There was a large part in her that missed the little boy who had saved her life dearly, but she was trying her hardest to forget, and concentrate on the present. Loch. The pups. The pack.
They were her priorities now.

Blinking her glittering brown orbs, three dogs came into her site as she entered the lodge. It struck her as such a strange site, a small pup, a female and a three legged old man.
A family wishing to join the pack, perhaps? she thought, padding over to the group.

Her optics passed over the young pup. A pretty little girl, and too young to be on the streets alone. Her eyes wandered to the female, nothing out the ordinary. A healthy german shepard by the looks of it.
Sweeping her gaze to the old timer, she wondered what could of caused the missing leg. The wound seemed to have healed up, and apparently he had ajusted to life with only three limbs.

She nodded to them all, and leapt up onto the large arm chair, curling up as best she could with her heavily pregnant body. She gave them all a friendly smile, eyes watching them inquisitively.

'Hello,' she said softly.

Weary eyes; belonging to that little pup looked to the three legged brute and glanced away from her. Mai’s personal preference was to be by females. They seemed so much cozier to cuddle with. Guys were very burly and brawny. They had no idea how strong they were; and often played too rough with pups. She put a stop to the thick whine that was to erupt from her throat with his words and felt the femme behind her nuzzle her. Looking up to her she leaned into her gently. "Mailye.. or Mai." She whispered softly not bothering to boost her voice up for him to hear. It wasn’t worth the breath; her mother would pluck her from this nightmare and carry her by the scruff. Carry her to the pack and talk to the alpha himself, a noble male with no gruff tone, one with feminine qualities and a very sensitive heart. He’d take Mai and her mommy in with open paws, catering to their every need personally. A sigh brought her to reality. Like the alpha would have any qualities.

Yawning the warm moisture of slobber from the female’s tongue lapping across her face caused her to become dangerously dozy. As soon as her tongue left her body she looked back up to her; wanting that warmth but looked away. Moving in a slow saddened step she stood in front of the female and settled her tiny paws on her chest; landing her very tiny tongue across her chest in a thanks. Sitting in front of her she backed up so she could lie between her forepaws; and under her warm body. A soft whine exited her saddened features and she rested her maw on her paw; enjoying having a tower above her. A tower with heated pavement and the furnace on high.

Bi-colored eyes moved across the ground as another female entered the scene. Scooching back so her rump touched her body she let another soft whine exit her throat. She didn’t like crowds when she was so weak. All Mai wanted right now was to take her temporary momma and go lay down with her, sleep near the heat machine of a German shepherd. Her yap didn’t dare open to tell Kai how Mai thought she was ‘a pretty lady’.

[x.Torment.x]

(We need an order to go in so this isn't so confusing... I think it should go in order of how we joined. So, it'd go Brooke, Torment, Skittles, then Firestorm then back to Brooke. )

[x.Torment.x]

Soft smile traced along the young shepherd’s maw as she received the soft lick upon her chest before the young whelp then settled to lay between her legs. Something about the pup being there nestled close to her just felt natural, like she was supposed to be there all along, setting the young shepherd at ease. Kailani could also sense that her presence was also helping the pup feel a bit safer and calmer too. They were helping each other.

As the new female moved into the room, Kailani couldn’t help but notice her swollen stomach, the female obviously quite heavy with pregnancy. Kailani wondered if she was of the pack of strays, when they’d be coming back, and if they’d be friendly or not. She still didn’t know who this Darthyn fellow was, and wasn’t sure if he’d be the nice type to accept and take care of the pup and herself. But no matter, even if Darthyn was mean and snappy, Kailani’d never allow him to hurt the young pup. No, Kailani’d rather fight to the death than let the precious little fae get hurt.

Looking back to the female who now rest upon the couch rather comfortably, the ebon carmel pelted femme’s tail swayed gently as she said hello. ”Hello there.. Who’re you?” she asked the beautiful sheepdog curiously. She didn’t seem mean, but even so Kailani was a lil cautious since she had the pup beneath her paws and was in the midst of strangers. She wanted little Mai to feel as safe as possible, acting like her guardian angel. ”I’m Kailani, are you part of the stray pack?” she said with a swish of her tail yet again, her gaze briefly lowering as she looked to the pup that was between her legs before looking back up at the others.


(( Okay, its SKittles then Firestorm now. }}

[Skitt is Under Marmalade Skies]

Looking at Kai, he was a bit confused.Hadn't he already told her his name. He decided it wasn't of great importance. "I am Jack, and Darthyn is the noble leader of this pack." he said , licking his front paw casually.

Jack's ears pricked up at the sight of Rita. "Ah. You must be Loch's mate, Rita. He's talked about you quite fondly before. I'm Jack." said the three-legged dog, bowing his head respectfully. The femme looked as if she was fir to burst, so she must be due any day now. Good thing, too, for even though they already had 4 pups, they could always do with more.

Rita

'How Are You, Sweetie? Don't Worry, I Won't Let Anyone Hurt You'

[/i][/center]

Rita breathed a soft sigh, being pregnant was hard work, hauling heavy pups around all day. She was glad whenever she got the chance to lie down. Glancing at the pup curiously, then at the german shepard whome she seemed to think was her mother.
'Why are you afraid, little one?' she asked the pup, her voice as soft and smooth as silk.

Rita's ears twitched at the sound of the shepards voice. Her gentle gaze glided back to her, and she opened her maw to answer, when Jack spoke for her.
She closed her maw, and flashed Jack a smile, nodding to him politely she explained further.
'Lovely to meet you, Jack. Yes, I am Loch's mate. Darthyn recently accepted me into the pack, as I would rather stay here in the company of dog's I know than with any house pets.
She almost shuddered, she didn't like house-pets very much and despised being called one.

A frown slowly grew on her brow, she looked back at the pup and the female.
'You're not part of the pack...Are you?' she said, more a worried statement than a question.
'Are you house pets...Or strays?'
