Calla | Female | Hunter | Open

Calla awoke that morning later than she usually would have, getting up to go see what the rest of the pack was into. She would also check and see if they needed to go out and hunt. It really hadn't been that long since her last hunt, but sometimes the others ate more than usual. It was just one of those things you had to check daily. Luckily she wasn't the only hunter, which made her job easier.

Cailean had woken early that morning. The young pup had wanted to explore, but new better than to wander from the pack. Bored, he tackled his sleeping sister, tugging on her ear to wake her. In return, he had received a sharp nip from her. As the pups played, the two yelped and growled. As Beauceron's, their instinct was to defend flocks and herds, alongside being natural herders. Cailean was slightly bigger than his littermate, but he wasn't as quick. Soon enough the pups rough and tumble had taken to them to tumble into Bella. "Sorry Bella." Cailean whimpered, sitting up and shaking his head.

Being rudely awoken by her brother, Slaine had given him a sharp nip in return. This resulted in the two pups rough-housing. Slaine was the quicker of the two pups, and always managed to pin her brother down. Found by Delgado, the pups had settled quickly into the pack's routine. However, for a young pup, it wasn't the most exciting thing to be stuck at the camp or be told to hide. As she played, Slaine fell into Bella. Looking around at the dalmatian, Slaine bowed her head in submission as her brother apologised.

Jenn could see him scratching and spoke “lay in water for a bit. It helps kill the ones that are alive.” She would have fleas every once in a while till she found that they can’t breathe under water. They didn’t stop the eggs from hatching but another soaking would take care of that. Hearing about the pups, her expression grew softer. Ah, her weakness. Youngings. “Hmm, Yes. Pups do need mothers. Perhaps, we should venture out in a bit and do a bit of searching. Don’t you think?”

Delgado stood up, shaking his fur out and nodding. “Agreed.” He replied. His answers were usually brief and to the point. He wasn’t one for unnecessary emotions or overly long conversations. He had a mission to fulfill, and he wasn’t determined to accomplish it. Jenna was right; pups did need a mother. While the pack had plenty of capable females, none of them would truly be able to replace their birth mother. Delgado wondered if the female had even survived the earthquakes.

Bella looked down at the pups, chuckling. Her tail wagged back and forth with lazy content. “Don’t worry about it, little ones. No harm done.” She replied. She remembered her days as a pup, in a very similar situation to theirs. She’s grown up on the streets, without a mother or a father. She was glad the pups had each other, for comfort and companionship.

Jenna stood up and started walking. “Come on. Let’s finish this border check and head out to the ruins. There is a lot of shelter. She could be among the other animals seeking shelter there.” She barked. The ruins was the city buildings that had come down in the fall from the earthquakes. Plenty of space for someone to go unnoticed or even call home.

Delgado lead the way as they continued along the borders. He couldn’t get his mind off of those pups, no matter how hard he tried. He’d always hoped he’d be a father one day. Those dreams had been dashed when his owners “graciously” had him fixed. Delgado knew no female would want a mate unable to produce pups, so his chances of finding a partner were gone too. He’d resigned himself to a life of loneliness. Perhaps that was why he looked after the pups so much; it was the closest he’d get to having any of his own.

Jenna followed beside him wit her head down slightly. Keeping her head down made her feel some what normal size, compared to all the other dogs. Her eyes stayed glue to the horizon, hoping not to see one of the loners crossing their lines again. Examples were to be made and Jenn had no problem shedding a little blood to prove her point. This was her family and she was glad to be one of the protectors for the young and old dogs. After some time of walking, the hybrid scretched out, causing several bones to crack. “Ready?” She glanced at the German shepherd, wanting to race him to the ruins.

Cailean's ears pricked up when he spotted a mouse. The little beauceron turned, lowering his body to the ground. Carefully, he placed one paw in front of the other, keeping his eyes fixed on the little grey animal. As he got closer, the little mouse turned and spotted him. It froze for a second before scampering off. Cailean gave chase, pouncing after it. He knew he didn't have a hope in hell of catching it but the fun was in the chase. He yapped as he followed it across the floor.

"Bella? When will we go home?" Slaine looked up at Bella after watching Cailean chase the mouse. To her, there was no fun in a chase which would just tire her and result in nothing. Scratching her ear she shook her head, "And when will my mummy come back?"

Slaine could easily remember the day her mother had left her and Cailean in that old rusted car. 'Stay here pups. Stay here until I come back...' was the last thing she had told them. And then the blue merle and tan female had vanished into the rain. The rain that had been the beginning of one of the worst storms of Slaine and Cailean's life.

Delgado shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He wouldn’t think of such things; he had a job to do. He wouldn’t accomplish it by worrying over something that couldn’t be changed. “Of course.” Delgado replied. He stretched, feeling his stiff hind legs pop. Relief flooded through the fighter, and his energy seemed to pick up afterwards. He broke into a run, heading in the direction of the ruins.

Bella looked sadly down at the pups, forcing a smile onto her muzzle. “Don’t worry. I’m sure your mother will be back soon. She probably got lost during the earthquakes. She’s going to make her way here, and then you two can be with her again.” She replied. She knew their mother was most likely dead, but they didn’t need to know that.

Hearing the bark, he whipped round as Slaine landed on him. Grabbing onto her ear he growled as he wrestled with her. He kicked at her with his hind legs. Cailean wanted to be like Delagado when he grew up.

Slaine seemed to accept the answer and bounded off to catch up with Cailean. The little blue merle barked as she pounced onto her brother. Cailean whipped round and the two began to wrestle once again. As usual is was rough, but neither drew blood.
