Kineta ran further down into the tunnel too far off now to the others to hear her, and it seems they had forgotten about her also.. she was in a total panic when she ran into another metal thing this time laid down after covering her head with her paws crying n waiting for the other dogs to come rescue her. <br><br> Kendra eyed Sha and sighed. "I'll carry him after I get a rabbit for us." She ran off to catch a rabit. She barked back, "Sheena want to come help?"

Frappe nervously followed them, it seemed as if they were beginning to lose themselves rather quickly. For one thing, they were suppposed to be in agility trials right now, not traveling between dimensions! She sighed and wiped her fur down with one of her paws. <br /><br />"whats the matter?" A voice rang through Frappe's ears. She then saw Carob floating in the air next to her.<br /><br />"What do you want, dog?" Frappe snapped at the sheltie. Carob turned in the air and "swam" foward around Cobalt's head. "Cobalt, the little fluffball is back." Cobalt looked at Frappe with a confused expression. <br /><br />"What fluffball?" Carob mocked Cobalt by making faces behind him. Frappe ran over to the aussie and pushed Carob away.<br /><br />"Get away you little rodent." Carob laughed and once again swam in the air. Cobalt looked at the female aussie.<br /><br />"Frappe, why are you talking to yourself?" Oh great, Frappe though. This little rat can only be seen by me...crap.

Sha heaved a sigh and had to hide a wince as his ribs throbbed. At least the pain had dulled. Maybe he'd only cracked them after all. "Well. Aren't we in a pickle. Four missing pack members and a sick puppy." He marched to the roadside and sniffed the air. "Kendra, Sheena, can either of you hunt? There's rabbits galore in those woods, and squirrel if you can catch them. I don't know where Dusk is off to, but if he comes back we'll need him to carry this puppy. Let's face it, we don't have the time or the resources to make a sleigh. We need to get him to a human, pronto."<br /><br /><br />Cobalt landed in a heap at Dinah's feet and yelped when Frappe fell on top of him. "What the [noun]?!"<br />Dinah looked at him, wide-eyed. "What is it?"<br />"A fluffball," Cobalt growled. He hauled himself out from under Frappe and glared up at the world above them. "A useless, airheaded, pushy fluffball!" He shook his coat rather dramatically and set his head in an arrogant stance-- both gestures undoubtedly picked up from Sha.<br />Dinah contained a laugh with difficulty. "Well, at least it reunited us. Come on, let's find a way out." She nudged Cobalt affectionately with her nose, then nipped Frappe's ear to get her to get up and moving. After one last, worried glance up at the world or worlds where the rest of their "pack" was now fending without them, she turned to Kineta. "Lead the way, but make sure we can keep up."

"They just went ahead.. Kineta was causing trouble, it's all okay." She glanced at Sheena as if to say, don't tell them. She then picked up the bark with the water and force poured some into the sick pups mouth and then poured the rest on the pups head. "There that should make you feel a bit better, don't worry about anything.. go back to sleep we'll rest here tonight then pull you for awhile.." Kendra then started to walk off to collect sticks and such to make some kind of sleigh. "Once that water dries he'll be cold but hopefully he'll feel better... We're gonna need to just sleep here for the night and take off in the morning." She then thought about food.. and sighed. "I'll look for food while I'm collecting sticks also, you should do the same?" She then wandered off while talking to herself quietly, "sleigh.. shelter.. food.. sleep... walking.."

Heccys head hurt. And he felt sore & achey & hot too. He was over this little road trip. He nosed the water that was laying in a peice of bark. He kinda thought he should drink, but really didn't want to make the effort. He didn't feel well at all, but he sensed something was just not right. "Where is everyone? Did I sleep though departure time?" Everyone looked relieved that he was awake.

"I'm glad I'm not alone with them all," she glanced at Kendra. "They'll be a handful...Heccy seems a little cold. Would you like to lay with him or find some sticks that we can make into a sleigh to pull him on?"

Kendra followed Sheena, accepting the fate that she had to care for these pups and trust Dinah to care for Kineta. She worried as she sniffed over Hecubus herself. The pup sure was sick... She dashed off and got some water for the pup in the same way Kineta had gotten water earlier. She nosed the water carefully towards the puppy, hoping that he just needed some water to perk back up again so they could get on their way again. <br><br> A huge bug suddenly jumped on Kineta's nose and she freaked out! She went crashing down the tunnel off to who knows where running into some walls as she blindly trying to escape this thing on her nose!!! She cried loudly like it was trying to kill her! *Crassssshhhhhhh* Kineta slammed into something metal. "Whaaaaaaaa?!?!?" She started to spin in circles going nuts. Nuts... nuts!!... She was hungry and a bug was trying to kill her! O_O

"Well, do we go get her?" Frappe said with uneasiness. "If we end up down there, will we be able to get back out?"<br /><br />then, a voice erupted behind them, "get back out?! Of course you can!" Frappe and cobalt turned to see Carob behind them. "All you need to do is jump!" And with that, the small sheltie jumped and flew a good ten feet into the air. She landed onto the ground as softly as a feather.<br /><br />"What kind of creature are you?" Frappe asked, stunned and scared. Carob snickered to herself before nudging frappe and Cobalt closer to the edge of the hole. <br /><br />"just a dog" And with that, she pushed them into the hole with Dinah.

"But Dinah's still down there." Cobalt looked down. Sure enough, the Border Collie was pacing impatiently at the bottom.

Frappe followed Cobalt as they neared the hole. Suddenly, a small figure leaped out.<br /><br />"Hello, how do you do? My name is Carob. And you are,? oh, never miind, I don't have the time for chit chat for I must go now. Bye bye!" The dog ran away as quickly as she had came. Frappe watched as the purple tinted dog left her vision and looked back at Cobalt.<br /><br />"Seriously, where did we end up? And what was in that skunk's stench that made us pop up here? is this all an illusion?"<br /><br />Frappe looked back at the hole. "I'm suddenly paranoid that that thing won't take us anywhere now."
