Bloodlust

Bloodlust sat on the front step, chewing on a rawhide bone listlessly. Bloodlust had grown quit tall, being 8 months. She yawned and sighed. So many dogs had come here, she felt overwhelmed. They were friendly, at least most of them. Bloodlust still felt left out, she wondered if her siblings felt the same. She yawned and rested her head on her paws, closing her eyes to bathe in the winter sun.

Anya; Kodiak; Zarya

Kodiak and Zarya soon joined their sister, having been visiting with the new arrivals. They sat silently on the porch, watching their mother pace several yards away.

Anya was stressed, and it was obvious. She snarled at nothing every now and then, as if she thought something was really there.

Zarya had tears in her eyes. "I wonder what's wrong with Mama." The female said in a whisper. Kodiak drew his eyes away from his mother for a moment to look at his sisters. "I was talking to Vanya. He says that Mama's half-sister was killed by a...I forget, but he said it was like a huge lizard. And he says that Mama's owner was hurt by the lizardy thing. And that Mama's owner had been acting different lately." He said before looking back at Anya.

Bloodlust

Bloodlust frowned. "Yeah, she's been acting so different. She's always been weird around us, but now this is just...strange." Bloodlust looked down with a silent sob, dropping the bone. "I heard about her half-sister..."

Anya; Kodiak; Zarya; David Volkov

Kodiak nodded vaguely. "I think I met her when I was really young. She was nice. It's a pity that she's not with us anymore." He sighed.

David stepped out of the house with a tranquilizer gun, gently shoving the pups aside with his foot. He kept his eyes on Anya, ready to fire at her.

"They're not one of us, Anya." The mother suddenly said to herself. "They're his pups." She then turned and faced the three pups, snarling viciously. She raced at them, fangs bared.

"Mama?!" Zarya shouted. Kodiak shoved his sisters back, then went back himself.

David raised the rifle and fired. The dart went into Anya's shoulder, but of course it didn't take effect right away. The human blocked the dog with the rifle until she had gone to sleep. He then picked unconscious Anya up before looking down at the pups. "Ona ne sama. She's not herself." He said to the pups before walking away and putting Anya into a cage.

Zarya sobbed to see her mother this way. "I hope she gets better!" She said between sobs.

Bloodlust

Bloodlust was afraid, she trembled like a earthquake in California. She tumbled with Zarya, looking up at Kodiak with frieght. But the man saved them, but he didn't do much. "We shouldn't be here..." Bloodlust cried. "I heard some other dogs say that she was 'raped'. We aren't loved or wanted by her..." Bloodlust lowered her head, sobbing loudly. She cuddled beside Zarya, eyes shut tightly. Suddenly she got angry. "I'm running away." She snarled.

Kodiak; Zarya; Soltse

Kodiak shook his head, eyes wide. "She used to love us, but her sister is gone. She's just confused. Give her some time. Please..." He pleaded. Zarya sobbed with her sister.

Soltse slowly advanced toward the pups, beingcareful not to be too threatening. The Tazi smiled down at the three. "I will take care of you until your mother is better. Don't worry, she should calm down soon." She said soothingly.

Bloodlust

Bloodlust sighed. "Fine..." Seh replied reluctantly to Kodiak. She then looked at Soltse. "Why did she try to attack us? Her only pups, even if we are 'rape-pups'?" She asked Soltse

Soltse

Soltse sighed. "Your mother is very upset right now. Sometimes we do bad things when we're upset. Your mother is a good dog, I know that, but she is in mourning. Give her some time and she'll come back around." She said soothingly.

Bloodlust

Bloodlust sighed. "Okay, I guess I'll remember that next time someone ask me why I did something when I was upset." Bloodlust smiled softly.

Soltse

Soltse nodded, smiling. "Just give her some time, and she'll be back." She said, sitting down next to the young hybrids.
