§The ♦ Killer ♦ Instinct§ (An Ømega Roleplay)

[Jalista]

(Accepted, both of you! Oh, Sheograth, your dog should be in the "adult" category, not Young adult. We can start now.)

[Dovahkiin]

Madi slept restlessly, her paws scrabbling against the walls of her teeny kennel. She awoke with a start and looked around. She had dreamt she had escaped, this time for real. Sighing, she sat up on her haunches, her shoulders against the roof of the kennel.

[Jalista]

Oberon lifted his head, not uncurling from his small ball. He looked across the isle to Madi. "Dream?" He asked sympathetically as she sat up. Hana yawned and stretched, both forelegs and back legs bumping the edges of her small cage. She looked at all the other dogs and flopped down onto her side. She sighed sleepily. Butch opened his eyes and looked around, scrambling up into a sitting position. His head pushed up against the top of the kennel.

[Dovahkiin]

"Yeah." She replied with a hint of sorrow. "I had escaped this time, for real."
Lael stretched as best she could and scratched behind her ear. "Lucky you." She commented and hung her head. "I wish I was back home with Emily. She loved me and didn't make me fight." She growled the last sentence.

[Jalista]

Oberon nodded knowingly. "Maybe it'll come true." He murmured in a slightly sad voice. He turned his head towards Lael. "We'll escape eventually." He growled bracingly. Butch watched the conversation. "We will escape." He agreed. "Eventually..." He added darkly. Hana sighed, in boredom.

[Dovahkiin]

Lael felt her stomach growl and she began to gnaw the bars of her kennel. Madi absently licked a forepaw.

[Jalista]

Hana lifted her head and laughed breezily at Lael. "I don't think the bars taste very good. Do they?" She licked one of her door bars experimentally and gagged. Butch's ears perked. "They're coming! Maybe they have food!" He was referring to the people who owned the puppy mill and hosted the fighting.

[Dovahkiin]

Lael suddenly stopped chewing and sat up as straight as possible. Madi rushed up to the bars and did the same.

[Jalista]

Butch inched forward and pressed against the bars, looking out. Hana shoved her nose into the gap between two of the bars and craned her neck to watch the doors slide open. Oberon got up and scrambled forward. 'Look at 'em. All excited!' Laughed the man cruelly, looking behind him to talk to his partner. 'But the food comes after the fights! Who should we take first?'

[Dovahkiin]

Madi felt her hopes plummet and she growled, looking the men square in the eye. Or at least, as best she could from her angle. Lael scooted back a little in her cage.
