Jade ~ Kelpie/Blue Heeler Crossbreed.
Hiding in the darkest slumber
Boiling to the surface
Crawling on your skin discomfort
Makes you brake and run and stumble fall
Jade, a lean battle-scarred mutt with a grizzled muzzle and slightly milky eyes stood watching her surroundings. Her keen ears swivled back and forth, catching each small sound. The howls of agony that other dogs emitted, the squeals of rats fighting over a piece of food. One ear shot backwards at the sound of approaching footfalls. The steps were confident, bold, and unafraid. "Hello Diablo." She did not have to catch the dog's scent, or see him to know who it was. She knew his footsteps by heart as she had raised him from a pup.
The scent of blood filled her nostrils and she turned expectantly to the other dog. A lean-muscled, smooth coated, long haired dog. His fur colors mainly shades of brown and whites. She looked him over, seeing a cut above one of his eyes, and a few dead rats at his paws. The blood she had smelled was his, not that of the dead animals. They smelled like carrion, inedible. "You know better than to try and live off of rotten prey." Jade snorted, licking the blood off his face.
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life

Desperate plans make sense to the low life

Diablo ~ Kelpie/Coyote/Doberman Pinscher Crossbreed.
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!
Diablo paused, brown ears flicking forwards. Eyes darting back and forth. He hurried forwards, looking all eyes for two rat carcasses on the ground. He didn't hear the warning hiss until a clawed paw lashing across his face. He yelped and jumped backwards, glaring at the cat that had clawed him. He barked loudly and jumped towards it. It mweoed loudly then scurried off, leaving the two rats behind. Diablo snorted and picked waht remained of the rotten flesh by the tails and hurried back to where he had left Jade.
As soon as he neared Jade he slowed, not wanting to spook her. Her eyesight was not as good as it used to be, but he still underestimated her. She heard him coming long before he reached her. A smelled his blood before he even knew he was bleeding. He dropped the two rats on the ground and looked at his friend. "It's better than nothing Jade!" He snapped, exasperated.
So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
