Prompt: Her former human owner.
Dahlia was originally a pet rabbit - a beloved one that is. She always felt herself a part of the family, since the very first day she was brought in as a kit. Her girl loved her - they played days long, she took Dahlia everywhere she went on a beautiful leash adorned with beads and ribbons, brought her all kinds of treats and toys, and even at night, Dahlia slept on a pillow next to her human big sister. Her life was perfect to her, and she was happy - so happy that it clouded her mind and blinded her to the disaster that was to come.
It started slowly, first her girl stopped taking her to sleep on her pillow. Then their games became shorter and further apart, untill she was barely even taken out of her cage. No new toys appeared, and she was no longer given any treats. More humans like her big sister started to come over, and they talked a lot and put stinking something on their nails and beeped a lot with their little black boxes, completely ignoring Dahlia who curiously peeked out of her cage. But Dahlia did not worry. She trusted her family with all her heart, she knew the troubles were only temporary - there must be something that made her big sister busy, and sooner or later, it will go away and everything will be all right. As long as they're together, nothing bad will ever happen - so she thought. Oh how wrong she was.
A chilly but sunny early spring day, Dahlia felt it was finally it! Her big sister took her out, put her favorite sparkly harness on her and they went out on a loud metal thing (she later learned proper name for it was "hrududu") - on a trip, just like they used to. She was happy. Everything was finally back to normal! She excitedly rushed out, towards the soft new grass, to frolic on it with her family. Just like in good old days, they went on a walk among the new grass, going up-hill for a while untill they reached a big meadow. It was sunlit, birds sang in the trees - ahh, a perfect place to play! Her big sister even took her harness off - oh wow! She only did that in the yard before - was all this huge plain with cool rocks and trees their yard now too?! Overjoyed, Dahlia hopped forward to play chase with her girl, and then...
She turned back to invite her to game, and didnt see her. Dahlia stood up, sniffing the air and looking around. Was her sister playing hide-and-seek with her? But there was nowhere to hide in sight... the rabbit hopped back the same path they came here and caught just a glimpse of her sister's bright second pelt that she always wore when it was cold - it was quickly moving away. Did something happen in that direction? Worried, Dahlia hurried after her girl. She could barely keep up, something really important must have happened... But then, Dahlia saw her girl going inside hrududu, it roared and started moving, slowly, backwards to the big flat path they always run on.
Oh no! Dahlia bolted forward as fast as she could, trying to chase the hrududu. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Wait! Im here! You forgot me!" but the hrududu roared so loud her family couldnt hear her... but why wont anyone of them just turn back for a moment, she was right there, they could see her... Dahlia ran after it for endless minutes, desperately trying to catch up, but it moved so fast, further and further away, untill it disappeared in the distance. Sore and out of breath, Dahlia tripped on the slippery flat surface and crashed onto the hrududu path, scratching her chest on a small sharp rock. Painful realisation came to her as she gasped for air... they didnt forget her. Bits of signs over the last few months now all came together. They left her behind. She was abandoned.
In shock and woe, Dahlia didnt notice and another hrududu suddenly ran over her head, startling her beyond herself. As soon as it passed she darted without looking where, in panic, and rolled down the road side into a pit, where she laid, absolutely motionless, for a while, before she could muster herself to stand up and walk again. Numb and staggering, she stumbled up the hill, towards the plains there, not paying any mind to the scratch that still bled - she knew not where she was going or why, just felt she had to go away from the noisy and stinky hrududu path. She walked untill dark, untill she finally collapsed from exhaustion under some bush. It got so cold. She felt like world have ended...
