As Angel watched her go, the pup whined. "Mommy?" the young Havanese asked quietly. She desperately wanted to get up and go follow her, but with her broken back legs, it didn't seem possible.

Sandra came to a halt and whipped her head around, a look of frustration on her face. She was stressed and at this point she didn't have the patience to deal with the puppy. She saw the sadness in Angel's eyes and felt a pang of guilt, guilt which was soon set aflame by impatience. She didn't speak for a few moments until finally she forced herself to. "What?" The adopted mother snapped sharply. Regretting her harsh tone the bull terrier forced her cold gaze away. "Look, Angel, I'll be right back. Punk and the others will watch you. I'm going to try to get some food." Sandra told her in much more of a motherly tone. Then she continued on, avoiding seeing Angel's helpless look as she longed to follow the terrier.

Angel drew back at Sandra's snap and whimpered. She silently wondered why her mom was acting like this. "Oh... okay..." the puppy forced herself not to cry as she sadly turned away, yelping in pain as her back legs seemed to be burning with fire.

Sandra lowered her head apologetically and turned back to Angel. "Look, I'm sorry. I'm just stressed with everything seeming to go wrong. We're gonna starve if I don't find food somehow and on top of me being half blind, you having broken legs, Punk being half dead and Zanis injured we don't need starvation as an addition." She told the pup and nuzzled her lovingly on the head. Then she turned and trotted out of the cave and sniffed the air tentatively. Discouraged by the lack of prey scent she continued on unhappily.

(Sorry for the shortness.)

[ really sorry for the infrequent posts, I've been having hours and hours of homework lately. ]

Raising her nose, Abi couldn't catch the scent of really anything. A few of those strange creatures that somewhat resembled humans, but the shepherd wasn't even sure if those were edible or not. Sighing, she started toward the river. Fish would have to suffice for now; maybe frogs, if she could find any. Mimicing the bears she had seen on hunts, Abi stood by the river with her nose nearly touching the water. Waiting patiently, Abi watched the water with focused eyes. When she saw movement she submerged her face in the water; the first few times she was unsuccessful in getting anything at all. After a while, though, she began to get the hang of it. Soon there were four fish lying next to her on the riverbed. Feeling a bit bored and lonesome, Abi huffed and fell to her stomach with a thud, laying down now and letting her paw dangle in the flowing, cool water.

Sandra twitched her nose uncertaintly when she breathed in the scent of freshly caught fish. Hmm... maybe one of the others caught something. She thought to herself and trudged along after the scent, her stomach growling although she had no intent of feeding herself until Angel and the others were well fed and happy. The terrier aprouched the river, Abi contently eating a bunch of fish on the other side. That sent a combination of anger, spite and envy pulsing through her when she saw the Shepard. Part of her wanted to go up to her and tell her off about how all the others are starving while Abi munched on all of this but she held her tongue. The terrier didn't want to get in a fight with Abi again.
She disliked her though and it showed clearly through each and every day. Abi cared little about Angel, labeling her off as a brat and treating her disdainfully which made Sandra rather furious. She found her hackles raising and forced herself to lower them, her eye hurt eye squinted while the other was boiling with anger. "Good catch." Sandra said in a mocking tone, rolling her one good eye as she made it clear she was not happy. Angel, Punk, Zanis and herself were all starving, even if that was Abi's catch what made her think she should just leave them to starve in the cave when most of them couldn't hunt?

[ I didn't mean for Abi to be eating them xD I'll go along with it though it's fine! ]

Startled, Abi's head shot in the direction of Sandra's voice. The sarcastic comment almost made Abi smile - it was the first sentence she had spoke to the shepherd in a while. But Abi kept a stright face, concealing the other fish that lay on the other side of her, hoping Sandra couldn't see them so Abi could play a joke. "Mhmm," she said, taking a bite of a fish. "These are good. Nice and fresh, but not too fishy. Well, as my human said about fish once before. I don't really know what he meant." Taking another bite, Abi smiled. "You should really reconsider fish. They're not that bad, you know? Especially when you're hungry." Standing up, Abi revealed the fish that lay on the other side of her, enough for everyone to have one as well. She smiled, hoping Sandra would realize Abi wasn't being greedy. "So, what do you say? Want one?" she asked, sliding a fish toward the terrier. Abi was eager to kick-start their friendship again, not thinking about whether Sandra even did or not. "Just one though. Because these--" Abi pulled all of the fish into a single pile, "--these are all mine!" With her tail wagging playfully, realization hit the shepherd. "Wait, you can see now? That's awesome!"

(Oh, sorry, I read that wrong. I thought it said filled her stomach, not fell to her stomach. My bad. xD)

Sandra wasn't in the mood for joking around, she wasn't in any mood to try to repair their broken friendship. She couldn't seem to stop imagining Angel lying weakly on the floor of the cave, her back legs bleeding and a mournful expression across her face. The idea that the small puppy was suffering from both pain and hunger while Abi was joking around as if there was nothing more important to do hurt her. The words went flying out of the terrier's mouth, sharp and hateful. "I'm not heartless enough to sit here stuffing my face while Angel and Punk starves, unlike some people." Sandra said spitefully. Her lips pulled up in a snarl, revealing two of her ragged canine teeth and a slight rumble of a growl. Her claws scraped on the earth below her in agitation and her ears were pinned down. It was clear Sandra was angry now, unlike before where you could only truly tell if you inspected her expression rather close. She wanted Abi to back off and she made that crystal clear.

[ it's fine xD I shall be more clear next time :3 ]

Abi's tail immediately stopped wagging as Sandra snapped. Her smile fell but she wasn't afraid anymore. "Fine," the shepherd said. She stood tall and turned to the fish that she had half-eaten. With a quick flick of her paw it slid into the river, drifting down the light flow of the water. She left the other fish lying on the riverbed and turned to walk away. "Fine, fine," she repeated, sighing as she spoke. "Be a killjoy. Hope you like fish, though. Looks like the storm scared off most of the prey except for them." Abi spoke casually as she trudged into the forest, away from the aggressive terrier and from the cave. "See you never," she mumbled, tired of the mood-swinging dog named Sandra. Abi didn't want the others to starve so if she came across anyone else she'd help, but now she wasn't so sure about Sandra. Abi still didn't feel a deep hatred for the terrier, but there was definitely a fault in Abi's trust for her.
