private chat with you.
Sheena jumped as Kineta flew past her heading right for the pile of branches. She started laughing and then smiled thinking to herself about her younger years.
Dusk awoke to a slightly sharp pricking sensation in his ear. Exhausted as he was, he rolled over and fell asleep once more. <br>
<br>
The second time he felt it, he opened his eyes to see Dinah standing over him with a silly, slightly annoyed, grin on her face. Slowly he rose to his feet, stretching his sore and aching body. He yawned and extended his forepaws, loving the feeling of extension after a long and very deep sleep.<br><br>
He ambled a step over to Dinah, gave her a joking, "are you kidding me?" look and playfully nipped her ear gently in response. Shaking out his coat, all matter of leaves and twigs went flying about the cave, hitting any of the other sleeping members of their makeshift pack. One of the twigs hit Cobalt's foot and another his chest, just enough for him to surely feel it, but not enough to hurt. <br><br>
Dusk slowly padded over to where he could see Kineta, satisfied to see that she was alright. He watched the pup and couldn't help but let a smile escape onto his face. He wasn't a morning type of guy... but this morning was a good one.<br><br>
Kendra pawed Kineta's nose again and put her head near her ear. "Time to get up now I'll meet you outside." She then got up and walked out side the cave and sat down to watch Kineta get up she was a bit worried but was not going to let it show in front of Kineta. <br><br> Kineta yawned and grumbled and stood up her head hurt! Why did it hurt? She felt dizzy! Confused by everything she sat down and looked around at the slightly spinning world who were these dogs? How did she get here? She cried in confusion. <br><br> Kendra jumped over to Kineta and let the younger dog use her to support her weight. "You okay? Sit still for a minute and the dizzyness will go away. You fell out of a tree last night and passed out and these are my new friends here they helped get you here to safety. You'll be okay don't worry." Kendra pressed her face against Kineta's lovingly and wagged her tail. <br><br> Kineta sat still for a few minutes then shock her head. "I feel better now!" She then stood up and pressed her face against Kendra's quickly before looking around at the other dogs. "Hiya!!!", she said full of energy. "Thanks for helping me out last night..." Her words trailed off as she spotted Dinah, the dog she had hit with the nut. "Oh!" She walked closer to Dinah. "Im sorry about the nut.." She lowered her head then quickly lifted it and jumped up and ran back to Kendra and hug tackled her. "Are was going to go on adventures with these guys??" She then dashed out of the cave and jumped up on a pile of broken branches and pawed her goggles to put them in the right place. "I'm ready I just hope there is lots of trees!" <br><br> Kendra laughed as she got knocked over by Kineta she then stood up and looked at Dinah. "Well looks like she's just fine and full of squirrely energy, we may be in for it." Kendra laughed more and walked away to watch Kineta play around with the broken branches.
As Cobalt had managed to remove himself, Frappe awoke. Her eyes fluttered open and the light made her go blind. Frappe shut her eyes again and rested her head against Rolo's, a smile on her face.
Sheena sat up and looked around the cave and started laughing at the site of Cobalt attempting to squeeze out of the group. "Didn't work as well as you planned, huh?" She then stood up and went outside to sit until the others woke up.
Dinah wagged her tail briefly. "It looks pretty good to me. You'll be hurting for a while, I imagine." She nipped at Dusk's ear again, annoyed that he wasn't waking.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Cobalt tried to wriggle out of the pile of dogs he was sleeping in but managed to jostle Frappe, Rolo and Hecubus pretty thoroughly before he was free.
Kendra lifted her head and yawned. She looked at Dinah. "Thanks again, are you feeling okay?" She nosed Kineta softly. "I don't know what I'd do without this little trouble maker." Kendra stood up, a bit soar. She stretched then sat down to lick the cuts on her side. They hurt a good bit but they looked like they would heal fine. She then pawed her face softly it hurt some but she wasn't sure if it was healing right or not. She asked Dinah, "does it look like it's healing okay?" She then stood up and shook herself yawning again. Now it was time to wake Kineta... or at least try to. Kendra started to softly paw at Kineta's nose. "Wake up sweety." <br><br> Kineta mumbled, "5 more minutes.." <br><br> Kendra looked down at her and poked her softly with her paw. "I'm gonna give her a few minutes to wake up from her deep sleep."
When Dinah woke, the cave was brighter and the sound of wind was gone. Cobalt was lying nearby with puppies and Frappe sprawled over and around him, looking at her with warm eyes. "Everyone must have been exhausted. You slept as long as the humans do."<br /><br />Dinah snorted and stood, moving a little stiffly. Her wounds seemed to have stopped bleeding and her muscles were sore but she didn't think she had strained or broken anything. "It seems to have let up."<br /><br />"Yes." Cobalt didn't seem enthused. "But I can't smell anything but rain and sap from the broken trees. We'll have to rely on sight if we want to find anyone."<br /><br />Dinah gave him a grim look. "I'm not sure we do want to find anyone. There were so few places to take shelter...."<br /><br />"At any rate, I want to find Sha," Cobalt insisted. "And we never found out if Dusk or Sheena has kennel-mates out there."<br /><br />Dinah sighed. "At any rate, we have to get out of here. Better wake them up."<br /><br />She nudged Kendra, who was nearest, and then stepped over her to nip at Dusk's ears.<br /><br />"I hope he's not a grouchy waker," Cobalt chuckled. "Everyone hates it when you do that."<br /><br />Dinah grinned at him. "Especially Cuchulain." Then her eyes darkened with worry. "Cobalt, how far is home from here?"<br /><br />Cobalt gave her a helpless, apologetic look. He always slept in the truck on the way to trials. He didn't know how far they'd come.
"Meh, you rang?" Sheena opened her tired eyes enough to see that it was Dinah. "Glad to see you made it back." Sheena murmured and then put her head back down and allowed herself to finally fall asleep.
:D "You were great, Dusk," Dinah said wearily. Her ears drooped as she looked outside. The sun was setting-- at least, the light was even dimmer than before-- and the storm was showing no signs of stopping. "I hope it lets up by morning," she murmured. She gave Kendra and Sheena a friendly nudge with her nose as she passed, to let them know she thought they'd done well, then she collapsed at the back of the cave next to the pups and allowed Cobalt to lick clean her wounds. Within moments she was out cold.
