YOUR PET LIFE -NEW AND ACCEPTING-

[Dandelion-Harvest]

"Uhh actua-" Shandy cringed as more lightning struck, bursting his eardrums. "Okay".

[Boomer]

Maria nodded some and helped him back to the house. Once they were inside, she shook off and looked at him. "She's upstairs." she said, pointing to the staircase, "The first room on the right... I'm not sure how she's doing now, but she should be more okay now." She sighed some and flicked her tail. "She's a troubled girl..." she said quietly.

[Dandelion-Harvest]

Shandy climbed up the stairs, hoping she wasn't hurt. "Alessa?" he called. "you ok?"

(bah, cant think of anything else to type, sorry it's so short)

[Boomer]

OOC: It's okay! I'm a bit focused on eating so... xD

Alessa groaned some, slowly shutting her eyes. Carter opened his door and let Shandy come in. "I had to sedate her..." he said quietly, "So I'm not sure how much of a response you'll get out of her." He gestured to her crate. Alessa sniffed the air, then opened her eyes. "Shandy?" she mumbled, "Oh jeez, I'm sorry you had to see that..." She slowly moved her coat to show her scarred skin. "That's what my mother did to me..." she whispered.

[Dandelion-Harvest]

Shandy wasn't bothered by any of this, it was easy for him to relate. "That's ok, we all have our secrets. They had to do the same thing with my Cousin when he was little. They were worried he would hurt the others"

[Boomer]

Alessa looked horrified. "T-they burned him?" she winced. She felt sick just thinking about it. Carter quickly opened her crate and moved a shallow bucket under her, in case she had to throw up. "W-why would they do that...?" she whimpered, "That's terrible!" She stared at the side of her crate and shivered some.

[Dandelion-Harvest]

"well, his mother Isn't exactly the smartest knife in the drawer, and his father was never around. She didn't mean to actually hurt him, She was just mentally ill. I'm not entirely sure what happened, I wasn't alive yet, but from what I heard that was punishment for being bad. My grandparents heard what was happening and he went to live with them for a while. She's....She's currently in prison for child abuse"

[Boomer]

Alessa stayed quiet, a bit unsure of what to even say. She was starting to have flashbacks again. Carter quickly pushed Alessa on her shoulder. She snapped out of it and looked at him. "Thanks Carter..." she said quietly. He slightly nodded, then sat down, gently petting her. "I have no idea what Dahlia is planning next..." she whispered, "I just..." She shut her eyes and slightly whimpered. Carter continued to pet her.

[Dandelion-Harvest]

"was it something I said?" Shandy Asked, confused and slightly hurt.

[Boomer]

"She's very sensitive about that topic." said Carter quietly, "She doesn't mean to be so fearful, it just happens. A lot has happened to her, and she doesn't know how to deal with it." Alessa stayed quiet the whole time. She simply stared at the crate wall. She could've swore she smelled her mother's scent, and could almost hear her voice, but she didn't say anything.
