A Rainy Night in the Woods

[starryeyes880]

Thunder crashed and lightning flashed, illuminating the multitude of trees that made up the Dirge Manor forest. Rain poured down from the sky, soaking the fur of the brown and white yearling that wandered about. Her pointed ears flopped slightly at the tips from the rain and her steps were slow and heavy as she trudged on. Nearly all sounds and scents were drowned out by the rain, keeping her from knowing exactly where she was headed. Still, she was alert. Her eyes constantly darted about, keeping an eye for anything she might need to run away from. She strained to listen to any sounds that might be around her, but all she could hear was the rain. Still, she couldn't help but wonder if she was being watched or followed. She had been trying to find her way back to downtown in order to find somewhere warm and dry to stay. Unfortunately, she had wandered in the wrong direction and was unaware of the trouble she was walking into.

The Wolf-Doberman moved through the forest looking for a dry place to stay. She was trying to find her way to the warehouse lots but that god damned rain was suppressing all scents and she couldn't even see well more than five feet away. She was lost and that pissed her off. She was soaked and that pissed her off even more. She hadn't had a fight for a week and that made her edgy. Toxicity let out an angry snarl and sank her teeth into a nearby branch. It was a pretty solid branch, but the furious wolf-dog eventually managed to snap it.

Suddenly lightning struck and Toxicity noticed a silhouette moving between the trees. Bright yellow eye narrowed as she let go of the branch and padded as quietly as she could in the direction she had seen the dog. Her black and brown fur blended well with her surroundings and this, coupled with the thick curtain of rain and the almost soundless steps made her almost invisible. She followed the other fem until she was completely sure that it wasn't one of Axel's henchmen. She growled quietly before launching herself at the yearling. She pinned her to the ground and snarled in her face:

"What do you think you're doing in Axel's land, whelp!? "

There was absolutely no sign of the other canine in the forest. Even in her alert state, it wasn't until she was being tackled to the ground that Hazel even knew there was another nearby. She yelped as she fell to the ground and shuddered at the sight of the snarling female above her.

"I- I- um..." The words wouldn't come out and she whimpered slightly. Axel... the ruthless gang leader? She shuddered again as she realized where she was and just how much trouble she was in. No one trespassed on Axel's territory. "I- I'm sorry... I didn't realize..." Her words were barely audible over the pounding of the rain on the ground and trees.

Toxicity stopped snarling and eyed the other fem carefully. She seemed young, at least three years younger than herself. She didn't look like a cop. Toxicity wasn't cruel to the helpless strays, because she knew what it was to be left without any defense. And this...pup seemed quite helpless at the moment. Still, the wolf-dog didn't let her go, just in case she tried something stupid.

"The penalty for trespassing is death...I'm not going to kill you though. You're just a lost pup. But you should get out of here."

She carefully let the young brown and white dog go. Then it occurred to her that she might have no idea how to get out of here. This reminded her of the annoying fact that she was lost too.

"Actually...Why don't you stay with me until the storm passes? It's easy to get lost around here and you might just bump into somebody that will not be so nice to you."

Toxicity stared at the fae with both her healthy and her blind eye, waiting for a response.
