✎ Rocksteady grunted as he awoke from the boat he slept on rocking around. Once a tourboat, this boat used to be very active with tourists. But now, it's tied down and used as a bed for Rocksteady and some other dogs. He stood up, figuring he might as well work now that he's awake. He trotted up the stone steps and up onto the bride, looking down at the river. He remembered looking down from his apartment of one of his old homes and seeing all the people that would come here. And now it's empty, a ghosttown. He huffed and turned, padding across the street with his head low with sleepiness. He planned on going a little farther than where he usually patrols, hoping to maybe see new places that have more food available. A lot of buildings were empty as humans cleared them out before leaving, but if he was lucky he can find one that has some stuff left behind.

✎ Abel sighed calmly as he turned his head to his beta. "Good morning, Dakota." He said before glancing outside the window once. he then turned and laid down on the couch, his fur pooling beneath him as he faced his beta. "Sleep well?" He asked politely with a warm expression. Abel's ears perked as he heard more movement around him. "Ah, the pack is starting to awaken. That means they should be on a hunt soon." He reported. Abel would love to hunt with the pack, but his fur is too thick for the heat and he never was the most skilled hunter. If there's one thing he liked about living outside the country, it was the abundance of prey, and there was even more since the disappearance of humans. Abel would always pick the fresh meat from the country over the trash and leftovers from the city any day.

✎ Dusty's head whipped around when she heard Tia approach from behind her. Her feathery tail swayed lightly as she nodded her head in greeting to her. "Hey, Tia." She smiled before turning to look upon the wide flat landscape before them. "I hope so, maybe when the other hunters awake we can go. Y'know, I saw some deer footprints as I was coming out. They must have grazed here while we were asleep. I think we can--" and before she could finish that thought, a scent caught her nose. She wagged her tail and gestured for Tia to follow her. A good distance into the field she saw a pack of javelinas and two babies beside their mothers. "Woah, are those pigs?" she exclaimed. She had seen pigs, big ones, but they looked nothing like these. She confidently stalked towards them, certain that she'd simply scare them away and nab the babies. Her paws made too much noise, and two of the javelinas turned towards her, squealing loudly and began charging at her. "Uhh... tia? I don't think these are pigs...!" She turned to the husky mix and raised her tail between her legs in fear.

✎ When she heard pawsteps growing close, she placed a paw on her kill to secure it. Her lips curled as she turned her head, only to find that it was Chazz. She eased her hackles before letting out a sigh. "Oh, hey Chazz." She responded. "Oh i'm fine, the pups are active this morning." She glanced at her large belly, feeling the pups slight movement made her smile. She remembered hating the pups the first couple of days into her pregnancy, mostly due to their father leaving her to take care of multiple mouths by herself when food is already scarce, but now she loves them more than anything and would wrestle a giant bear if it meant keeping them safe. They gave her a purpose in a world that seemed to have none. She then turned her head around and plucked the white feathers off the duck. "You can have the rest when I'm done, if you'd like." She said as she spat out a feather. She intended to eat a little extra, but she figured she might as well give the rest to him if she wouldn't finish it. Kahei of all dogs know how much the dogs would give for a taste of fresh meat.

After Abel spoke with his calming voice, Dakota replied back. "Ahh yes, Let's hope they find some quality food" She wished as she looked outside of the window. Today, she felt like they had more hope and luck. After all, they are going through some tough times currently. Dakota nodded and went back outside of the house, The floor still creaking underneath her paws. She then landed on the grass. I really do hope they find food...

“Come now, Kahei. What sort of gentleman would I be to take your food from you? Eat it for yourself, or store it for later. You need the protein more than any of us.” Consuming enough nutrients was incredibly vital for pregnant dogs. With the pack already in danger of malnourishment, Chazz would do everything he could do make sure Kahei was not one of them. Scraps and slim pickings wouldn’t be nearly enough to sustain her. But Chazz could manage just fine. Maybe the scavengers would return with a lucky find. Although the scent of meat was tempting, Chazz managed to ignore it. Instead, he was more interested on how Kahei was doing. How she was coping with her pregnancy. As she spoke of her pups, he listened and watched with a thoughtful gaze. “They’ll be here before you know it. I’d be happy to help you when they do arrive. Anything you need, just let me know.” Not everyone was bound to be excited about these new arrivals. But Chazz on the other hand, couldn’t wait. The concept of having pups around was thrilling. And even if Kahei wouldn’t let him anywhere near them, he would still look out for them.

“Deer footprints? I’ve not seen any for a while. I think many disappeared when we arrived. But with hope, some may be returning to the area.” Spotting the creatures in the distance, she looked uncertain. “I don’t know. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” Tia followed, but took rather hesitant steps after Dusty as she approached the pack of animals. “They don’t look like pigs. But I might’ve seen these things a few times.” She whispered. “Dusty, wait-“ she watched with disbelief as her partner simply approached the strange animals. Tia had encountered creatures like this during a trip further south. And the way they reacted to Dusty was a response Tia expected. The javelinas weren’t huge, but compared to Tia, the adults could easily overpower her. An entire pack could potentially kill a dog. “I’ll draw them back. They aren’t very smart, so confusing them won’t be hard. Watch out for the teeth.” To catch one of these, they would likely need more power on their side. Armed with a set of sharp teeth, and a body like a block of muscle, this wasn’t a creature Tia wanted to mess with. A bite or charge could do some serious damage.

✎ Before Dusty could fully hear out what Tia said, she turned around and began running in blind panic. She barked frantically, trying to alert the pack and call them for help. One javelina was close on her heels, squealing in anger as he was decreasing distance between the two. "Tia-Tia-Tia!" She barked frantically, running in circles as fast as her legs could take her. She glanced behind her, seeing the javelina just on her heels and about to snap at her. She whimpered at the sight of their fangs, with her fear giving her a slight boost of speed. It wouldn't last long as it moved up and bit her left hind leg, causing her to yelp loudly, but she managed to slip her leg from his grip and keep running, not even feeling the wound due to the adrenaline that filled her.

✎ Abel's soft ears lifted when he heard barking. "Hm, guess they found something close." He said, only for a loud yelp to follow, causing his fur to spike. "Oh no... Quick, come with me!" He barked, bolting out the door and running in the direction of the yelp. He saw Dusty being chased by a javelina and a group of javelinas as well. "What are they?" He exclaimed. He shook is head. "Nevermind, come on!" He then charged towards them, with the javelina that was chasing Dusty changing directions and charging towards Abel. Abel yowled as the hog bit his foreleg, immediately drawing blood. He ignored the pain to the best of his abilities and he bit down on the javenlina's thick neck and held his grip.

✎ Kahei smirked as she took a bite out of the waterfowl. "Good, I was testing you." She jested, chuckling at her own joke as she swallowed the piece of meat. Kahei looked up at the buildings above her, listening to the water crash against the sides of the pavement. "We could go outside the city." She shrugged, glancing at Chazz to judge his reaction. "If the nueva dogs wanna stop us, we can chase em further back." She really could care less about the feud between the packs. She saw it as pointless, but whatever gave her pups a safe environment with food was fine by her. She knew that there was more wildlife outside of the city, and fresh meat to feed herself and her pups with. The city was beautiful and had more than enough shelter, but they had to dig trashcans for food and that was no way for her future pups to eat.

Dakota gasped and followed Abel, her paws thudding against the ground. She saw as Abel was taking down the javelina. Then she felt something smash her by her left hind leg, she quickly reacted. Her eyes exchanged with the other javelina attacking her. She drew her lips back in a snarl and bit at the javelinas neck and held it tightly. After a couple moments, the javelina she had in her mouth had become motionless. It was dead. Dakota then dropped it on the floor, panting. "Hey...Atleast was got some food out of it" She said, with a soft chuckle. Dakota then spoke once again "Dusty, Abel, you guys okay?" She asked, Dakota wanted to make sure they were both okay.

as reina trotted out of the empty store, she caught a whiff of another alamo pack dog. rocksteady. there weren't many dogs awake, therefore she decided it wouldn't really matter if she helped the older dog. as she passed the humans abandoned shops and housing, she founded the pit bull searching for scraps. "I hope you're planning to share", she would bark good naturally."There were some leftover steaks, which I buried yesterday. Hungry?"the beta couldn't quite understand the humans methods. their food was strange compared to the rich, tasty meals of the pigeons and mice that occasionally were caught. most tasted bland, while other things that were scavenged tasted salty, and other flavors that she couldn't quite name. the mere thought of mice make her hungrier, how she longed to taste the blood on her tongue, but the difficulty was that there were too many tight spaces, mice were small and fast, and that they rarely were seen. reina couldn't control herself from remembering all the past tastes from chew ravens, to meaty squirrels, until she came to rabbits. the female had no idea when the last time she tasted a rabbit, but the taste was heavenly. although they had won the battle against nueva pack, it seemed as if they were fortunate enough to live in a rich habitat filling with forest creatures. they probably have shrews and rabbits, she would think bitterly before turning her attention back to the large dog.

Chazz closed his eyes, remembering the time when both packs were combined. Abel showed far different attitudes to their current leader. He had chosen to split the pack, and lead in another direction. It had been a while since Chazz had seen them. And he wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. “I agree. The city is picked clean. Most of the food left behind is rotting or eaten by scavengers. If we want to sustain the pack, our chances are higher out there.” Chazz didn’t exactly wish to encounter the Nueva dogs. Whatever way they met, he was certain it wouldn’t go peacefully. “The Nueva dogs might’ve gotten stronger. Or more strategic. It might not be so easy this time. If they aren’t willing to give up their land, chasing them won’t be an option.” It wasn’t Chazz’s aim to dampen hope. But realising his negativity, he added, “We’ll make it work. I’ll even settle for sharing the land. As long as it keeps us alive.”

Before Tia knew it, Dusty was still being pursued. She could see the fear in her friend’s eye as she tried to outrun the charging beast. She cringed as her leg flesh was pierced, and moved to a sprint to try to intervene. “Hold on, Dusty! I’m coming.” She called out in her race to help. But two dogs raced to the clearing to help, and Tia breathed a deep sigh of relief as Abel and Dakota came into view. The pair were alpha and beta, so them being here did lessen her stress. As he took on the charging javelina, Tia proceeded to help him, her jaws heavily tearing as the opposite side of it’s neck. All remorse for these animals was gone at this point. They had hurt her pack. Feeling the animal weaken beneath her, she glanced at Abel, only to see him wounded. Hopefully it was just a flesh wound. Something that would heal easily. But it was still a cause for concern. She was still worried for Dusty. Tia wasn’t sure how bad her injuries were.

✎ Rocksteady huffed when he heard footsteps come from behind him. He prepared to growl and snap at the intruder. It was his beta, thankfully, and he allowed himself to relax his muscles. "Yes, thank you." He nodded in respect to her. He couldn't care less for any other dog in the pack aside from his superiors. Had Reina been a subordinate, he would have bit their tails and chased them away from any food. And for something like steak he'd fight a dog for something like that, as opposed to week old french fries. But whether this behavior was because of true respect for her or simply because she had the power to have the entire pack attack him or chase him out if they wanted was up for debate.

✎ Dusty panted, sitting down as she collected herself. "I'm fine, don't worry 'bout me." She shrugged. When the adrenaline stopped pumping, she began to feel pain in her leg again. She turned around and examined it, gasping at the sight. She never had an injury like this. At most, she'd gotten a scratch from a cat when she was at her owner's relative's house for christmas. But such a deep wound startled her deeply. It would heal and she wouldn't die from it, but it was still big and deep. "Okay... maybe I'm not fine."

✎ Abel panted, watching the javelina's run off in alarm with their babies trailing behind them. He licked his wound before placing his leg down. He winced at the pain. His wound was relatively worse than Dusty's, but he'd live. "I'm fine. Come on, Dusty. You should rest inside." He said before leading the small shepherd to the house. He had a slight limp, trying to move his leg as little as possible to not cause anymore pain to his leg. Two injured dogs was not what he had hoped to awake to, but at the end of the day they got food and that's all that mattered.

✎ Kahei nodded, glad to see that another dog agreed with her. The ducks were the only reliable meat she had for now, and even then they would stop perching by the river when they learn that dogs are actively hunting them. "If we had their fresh food, maybe we would be strong, too." She huffed, becoming a bit frustrated at their situation. Their territory may be big, but what good was it when there wasn't enough food for everyone? They'd be skin and bones by the end of the month for sure. And when her pups are born, what were they to eat when their teeth grow? "I don't think they'd exactly be happy to share the land with us, I mean we chased them out and all. But whatever, I just want my pups to be healthy. And I don't care how we make that happen."

Reina | female | mixed breed | beta | alamo pack | tagged: rocksteady | location: |feelings: concerned

reina could almost feel the questioning feelings radiating off the patrol dog. you don't have to respect me.. I'd be fine with being beneath someone for once, she would think but quickly shook off the ridiculous idea. thanks to her ranking, no dog would ever be able to pick on her again. they would never steal her findings of food and she would be respected. be thankful. other dogs are being picked on right this moment."it's over here", she murmured. by just seeing the pitbull's expression of hunger, she almost wished to yap in glee, grab the scraps, and run off with it to fill her stomach, but she knew that as beta it just wasn't.. right. it'd be fine if she was a lower ranking dog, but it would be just wrong if she acted that childish in front of a dog who probably got half as less as her and probably worked much more to find food to support just themselves. she lifted her nose as she trotted towards the clay, neatly piled dirt in between two tall buildings. immediately, reina began digging, satisfaction washing over her as she scented, at the very bottom was scraps of meat in a plastic human container. using her strongest fangs, she bent forward and grabbed a side of the container, pulling it up to face in front of the dogs. it was only half full, yet it seemed like heaven to her."this will defiantly give a dog a full stomach for at least two days, maximum, and maybe two dogs a one day time but.. the jarl will probably expect us to bring back some food for the weaker. you should eat just a small portion of it", she bit back a sharp answer to rocksteady. the pack needed food, and she wouldn't let them down.

Dakota then picked the javelina with her large canines and followed the two dogs. It wasn't nice to wake up to two injured dogs, maybe including herself. Her left hind leg had felt rather sore from the hit from the javelina, but she worried for Abel and Dusty. She went inside the back of the barn and dropped the javelina by a bail of old hay. Dakota then went back and inside of the house to check on her pack-mates.
