Life Sure is Hard (Stray Dog RP) 1 ON 1 RP!

[~Wolf Chick~]

Scarlett quickly followed her friend but stopped and felt her blood go cold when she heard the terrible snarl from within the box. She gulped and stood still like a statue. She gave a soft glance to Cricket but then turned her head to face the box.

[ragemonster]

Cricket pushed herself in between the snarling box and Scarlett, protecting her young friend. Cricket snarled in reply to the box, and a gargantuan dog appeared from it. She quickly realized that it was a Labrador, but contrary to popular belief, this one did not look cute and friendly. It looked vicious. Cricket backed up a step, saying, "We aren't looking for trouble; we didn't know anyone was in there." her hackles where raised aggressively, her teeth bared. "Well you've got trouble." the dog said, in a deep monotone. "RUN!" shouted Cricket.

[~Wolf Chick~]

Scarlett didn't need to be told twice and she raced out of the alleyway and through tall green gates that led to the local park. It was one of her favourite places as a house dog but at night and as a stray it looked scary and daunting but it would have to be better than an aggressive labrador.

Cricket followed Scarlett, hard on her paws. The uneven thudding of the Lab's paws on the ground behind them said that the dog was weak, and not likely to follow for long. After about 30 heartbeats, she no longer heard the sound of pursuit. She slowed, turning around. "I think we've lost him," she panted, turning to Scarlett.

[~Wolf Chick~]

Scarlett slowed her pace and eventually skidded to a hault. She looked over her shoulder and saw the Labrador was far behind and seemed to be turning away. She panted heavily. "That was close." she panted, her tongue lolling from her mouth.

Cricket nodded, out of breath. "How- could- I be- so stupid?" she gasped. "I should have- scented the area first." she added. It was getting easier to breathe. "I'm out of practice."

[~Wolf Chick~]

Scarlett shook her head. "Nah it's not your fault. How were we supposed to know some angry Labrador would be sleeping in a box?" she reassured her friend, not wanting to make her feel bad. "I would've made the same mistake."

[ragemonster]

((Gah, I have to go. D: C'ya tomorrow.))

Cricket growled in frustration. "I should know better. I used to live on the streets, for Heaven's sake! I could've gotten us killed." she said, her tone thick with anguish.

[~Wolf Chick~]

(Ok, cya!)

Scarlett sat down and watched her friend as she got madder and madder at herself. "Don't be so hard on yourself! We'll just remember this for next time! What matters is that we're safe now!" she barked, trying desperately to calm Cricket down.

[ragemonster]

Cricket sighed. "Sure, sure." she mumbled, looking away. "Lets look for shelter. Preferably without psychotic dogs in them." Once again, she looked around. There was a tree with a semi-hollowed out base, just big enough to let both dogs fit. "Well that was convenient." she said, and sniffed the air for dog smell. There was none but their own. She lead the way inside, curling up.
