Rowdie

A loud honk comes suddenly from just about 1/4 mile away. Then a huge jeep pulls around past the house. As the jeep turnes a huge cage can be seen in the back, suddenly the cage flies out and tumbles to a stop on the ground. The jeep continues speeding on.

Dakota/Austin/Kiki/Tomcat/Hal

"You go first, Kiki." Whispered the Cougar as she walked through the gate, just out of sight of the dog. "Okay, but I won't like it." Was the reply from the Havana Brown. Kiki stalked nimbly through the tack brush on the ranch. Her eyes widened when she reached the dog. She took a deep breath and walked closer. "Excuse me. Do you need help?" She asked timidly.

Rowdie

There was no movement from within the cage, a small stream of blood began to slowly form a little rivlet leading away from it.

Xxalt, Namir, & Snowden

The cougar X snow leopard hybrid was first on the scene, moving at a leisurely pace as his father and uncle followed after. Xxalt looked purely of cougar blood, as far as his build went. The only different was in his massive paws and wide nose. What made the tawny feline stand out were the rosettes that lined the top half of his body.

As his son caught the scent of other cats and moved in to insepct, Namir followed right after. He had a mate already, but that didn't stop him from making new friends. Silently, he crept up beside Xxalt.

Snowden, uncle to Xxalt, circled around and padded out into the open. The snow leopard stuck out like a sore thumb in the green foliage of summer, but he didn't mind. Curiosity always got the best of him. While Xxalt and Namir tried to keep somewhat hidden, Snowden came right out into the open as he moved towards the cage. A friendly nod was given to the cougar before he eyed the cage, "Humans...."

Dakota/Austin/Kiki/Tomcat/Hal

Upon closer examination, Kiki noticed the severity of the situation. She yowled and ran back to the group. "There's a dog that's hurt!" She exclaimed. Dakota sighed and began to walk away, but was stopped by Austin. "We can't just leave it there!" The clouded leopard said.

The cougar thought for a moment. "It may be of some help to us...fine." She replied, leading the group to the cage. She pawed the lock. "None of us can open this." She informed, then turned to walk away. Kiki strode alongside the big cat. "But I can get some help from--" She was cut off by Tomcat. "You know the rules. No help from humans." After that, they were gone.

Rowdie

Rowdie opened her eyes slowly, she did not move for what seemed like ages, then she looked down at her broken body. She howled in pain, her voice shatered the air. When she had finished she suddenly felt very light headed. "someone please help" she whispered, unable to speak louder due to the pain. "why have my masters done this to me?" she asked herself. She gently laid her head down and awaited an answer, she prayed it would be a human.

Nicole/Fox

Nicole still held the rifle as she approached the cage. "Oh no..." She said to herself when she saw what was inside. Ever since the wolf attack and Daggar's odd behavior, the young woman wasn't comfortable around larger dogs. She pulled the walkie-talkie out of her pocket. "Jake? Th-There's another canine here. She's injured, and in a cage. I wonder if she was a pit fighter." She said into the walkie. "Don't do anything with it. See if you can get animal control over there to pick it up." Was the reply from her brother. Nicole ran into the house and called animal control at Jake's request.
"I found an injured canine in a cage near my house. I live at 205 12th Street."

Fox watched the creature carefully. "Are you bad like the rest?" He asked nervously.

Rowdie

The wolf stared "I-I don't know.... we were doing training like usuall and suddenly there was an attack...I ran to protect the masters and suddenly I was in this big wire thing...It shocked me...then I remember waking up in this cage....men were all around me...with guns and knifes and whips ...something dragged me out...they made me fight them...then I collapsed..I remember waking up in here again...on a truck...and thats it" she watched the stream of blood exiting her cage.

Nicole/Fox

Fox nodded and ran to Nicole, barking. Nicole apologized for the 'misunderstanding' and walked back to the cage. "Let's see what we can do here..." She aimed the gun at the lock, but didn't shoot just yet.

Fox barked. "Stand back. She's going to shoot the lock off." He warned.

Rowdie

Rowdie did not move, she couldn't "I can't move" she whined to Fox "tell her to just shoot, whatever hits me hits me" she knew that the chain holding the lock would shoot back into the cage and hit her but she did not care, it was small pain compared to what she was already feeling.

Nicole/Fox

Fox nodded and barked at Nicole. Nicole made sure that her aim was just right, then fired a bullet at the lock...

Rowdie

The chain did just what Rowdie had expected. It struck her directly on her neck and wrapped around it just enough to make a cut and cause her to bleed more. She did not move, just laid there and waited to see what the human would do next.

Nicole/Fox

Nicole knelt down and reached her hand out to the dog's nose. She knew that canines liked to get more information on humans before being comfortable around them.

The corgi wagged the stump of a tail that was on his rear end. "She'll take good care of you. You just have to promise me that you'll be nice to her."

Rowdie

Rowdie looked at the hand she reached out and tried to lick it, but recoiled in pain as the chain rubbed on the fresh cut. "I trust her, and I promise, I would never dare to hurt any human"

Nicole/Fox

Fox nodded. "Great!" He barked. "Now she's going to take you out. It might hurt a bit, but try to cooperate. Okay?"

Nicole moved closer, attempting to pull the dog out of the cage.

Rowdie

Rowdie braced herself. When Nicole tried to pull her out she got about halfway when suddenly she could not go anyfurther. Sudeenly she remembere that they ad chained her back leg to the cage to make sure she did not escape "oh no" she whimpered "I forgot about that" she set her head roughly on the ground.

Rowdie

Rowdie smiled weakly "you are so nice, I shall be forever.." she did not finish instead she clowed her eayes and became inconcious.

Nicole

Nicole reached in and attempted to pick Rowdie up.

Rowdie

Rowdie tried not to squirm in pain as a new wave surged through her body. She yelped once and then whined a bit but that was it, she did not want to make it harder for the kind human.

Nicole/Fox

Nicole looked at Rowdie's injuries then carried her to the front yard. Noticing that her brother had taken her jeep, the young woman took her brother's pickup truck. She laid some towels down in the back seat and gently put the wolf down on them. She let Fox into the passenger seat, then drove to the vet.
