K9- Part 1. A new Life We need a lot of characters!

Ace caught sight of a fuzzy black and gray blur. He nodded and crouched in a hunting position, as low to the ground as he could get, and paced forward. "I can smell them. They're just around the corner. On three, ponce, and grab what you can." He whispered happily, with a kind of evil grin."1...2...3!" Ace turned around a corner and bolted at a full sprit. There were over 5 raccoons munching on rotten apple cores and old meat. He ran, tongue lolling, at a raccoon in a corner. Ace was only about three times bigger. Ah, it's not that big. It probably just has a thick amout of fur. I thought to myself, and jumped, extending my forepaws to pin it down, then go for the neck. But my plan turned when the giant raccoon clawed at me rappidly. I yelped in surprise and pain and fought back. I whipped a giant paw at it and it fell over. I bit into it's neck as hard as I could, and didn't let go until it let out a wheezing shound and went limp. I let go, panting. I saw red trickling into my eye and I started to blink alot. For some reason my forehead hurt alot.

Payce padded to the deeper parts of the pack's territory. She caught a plump mouse, and ate it right there, like she didn't even know she was hunting and eating on their grounds.

((whoa, what hath been going on?))

( Sterling and Ace went hunting... idk about Payce )

Sterling wasn't very good at hunt. She lept forward at '3 ' managing to pin one by the tail. She quickly moved her muzzle to it's neck and bit. She could hear one scurring into the stack of boxes. Once the one she had was limp, she darted towards the stack and broke it apart where she could smell her prey. It was very small, and young. Sterling wanted to kill it but couldn't. She picked it up by the scruff and pulled it from the boxes. She set it down and let it run off. She picked up her kill and began to pad away ashamed, but then looked at Ace. His head was bleeding. " Ace!" She barked and rushed over.

(okaydoke...hmmm let's stir up a tad of drama... and Tornado needs to get a mate soon))

Ace: "What?" I asked and finally started to feel a sharp, stinging pain, and dizziness. "Ow...I think it got me in the head. " And I was right. I deep one, right above my right eye, About 3-4 inches. I blinked some more. I tried to ignore it. "Did you catch anything?"I asked, but my question was quickly answered when I saw her raccoon. "Oh, well, I, um.." I said, choosing my words carefully. "I should go. It's dark, and if I know Payce, she'll come looking for me. Do you know a way around thses alleys, where I could get back to the dumpster? I don't really think I should cross through your pack's territory." I rumbled thoughtfully, my blue, lab eyes glitttering. Well, the one that wasn't covered in blod was, atleast.

I picked up my raccoon and padded after her. Truth be told, I was more scared that Payce would catch me here. That would be bad. I stayed low, and alert and followed Sterling.

General walked down the pack. (IDK if I joined this thread tell me if I didn't.)

((je pense que oui))

(What?)

((french translation: Yes I think so))

( Yeah you did, but i forget with who, and your cherries weren't actually part of the pack )

((ah yezzz right))

((yah, I think they were. Nala was one of them. ))

Ace: I wagged my tail and nudged her shoulder. "you bet." i said and picked up my meal. I ran down to the dumpster, just as sterling said. Luckliy, Payce was just returning from a hunt. She had a mouse.

Payce: I threw the mouse at Ace. "Pittiful, no? I can't catch some decent prey around here." I said and eyed his raccoon. "You're going to have to show me where to get one of those." I joked.

Ace: I nodded in it's direction, and invited her to share. Turns out it was actually huge.

Payce: I sat down and ripped it open
a
Ace: I told her the story of how I underestimated it and got the scratch, and all that. I only left out two major parts: It was on the other side of the town, and that Sterling was with me. I had a weiird feeling in my gut when I went to sleep that night....could it have been that raccoon?

Ace: It was getting pretty windy outside. I crawled into the small space behind the dumpster and curled up to sleep.

Payce: I followed Ace in and curled up beside him, to share body heat. "We should find a better place to sleep." I mumbled sleepily, and closed my eyes.

------------

Ace: A brisk breeze woke me. I licked my flank. My forehead hurt so much! I padded out of our shelter. The wind almost took me off my feet. It was going to be hard to find food. As soon as Payce woke up, I asked her to a hunt. We went around the alleys near the dumpster. Soon enough we split up, because it was taking way to long to find some breatfast. "Maybe Sterling has found some." I thought to myself. I padded cautiously inthe direction of the pack's turf. I saw her at a bus stop in one of those boxes..with another dog. I sighed and waited for them to wake up. Maybe he would leave and I could talk to Sterling. Usually I would be scared to wait, especially since the wind was carrying my scent towards them, but for some reason I needed to talk to her. I just needed to hear that voice. So I sat behind a wall, which shielded me from most of the wind, and I waited.

I barked, starting to go on my morning run. I went down to the beach. it was always lonely and abandoned, a perfect private place for a nice run. i began slower and speeding up gradually and then coming to my top speed.

Element arose with his fur damp from the morning dew that came from the open side of the bus stop. He looked to Sterling, who was of course dry. He stepped out and shook roughly. Hmm, what to do today? I wonder how the loner's doin'. He began to have a descusion with himself as he began to go out to stretch. He went out onto a main road and began to pad along looking for food, or something to do.

( Hehe, you want drama... i make it )

Sterling yawned but decided not to get up. She wasn't feeling right, something in her back. A sudden burst of pain shot at her flank and her eyes flew open as she yelped. She began to whimper loudly between moans. She began to roll, trying to find a comfortable spot to stop the pain. I didn't work and her cries became louder and worse.

Nala rolled her eyes. "Be quiet Sterling!" She yelped trying to sleep.

Ace: My eyes grew wide. "STERLING!" I barked. I didn't care who was watching, but I streaked across the road to the bus station and nosed her. "Sterling, what's wrong??" I asked in panic. I sniffed her, but I couldn't detect anything.

"If it helps Sterling, I can bite it off." Nala smirked. (wait is this the one Nala and whoever got into a big fight in the beginning if it is not I will be nicer?)
