Nell & Sheba

Nell quickened his slow pace and past up his sister, who was limping slightly. While running, she had stepped into a deep hole, made by some animal, fracturing her leg almost. It hurt badly, and she and her brother hoped that the ranchers could help somehow.
Sheba stopped short of the ranch house, smelling blood and wolf. Her fur bristled. She looked to her brother, who was standing quiet still. And he too, looked ridged. "Where is everybody?" she asked Nell who started sniffing the air wildly. He didn't answer, and kept taking in the newest scents. They were raised with humans, until they were in the hands of one who no longer cared about them, and they were left on the streets. Both being the age of 4, they were on their every alert. Sheba cocked her head slightly and let her body rest by laying on her side while Nell looked around. Not wanting to wait, he started barking very loud. Sheba's ears cast out to the side and she lay her head back, fairly tired from the long trip. She wanted to consume energy for real emergencies, not something like this. Her brother, on the other hand, was quiet disturbed about it and continued barking.

Nell & Sheba

Nell's ears pricked, but he heard nothing. No one approaching, not even another canine, such as themselves. He listened to the breezes and took in the strong scents of blood and others. He ignored them, however, for his sister was way to weak from the journey and her leg was only getting worse as she stepped on it.
He turned his head to her and noticed she was tired. He walked to her, tail up, and gently pushed her up. She stood with a great effort. "Let's head to the barn. Perhaps you can rest on the softer haybales." he said with a worried voice.
His tail lowered when he watched Sheba tobble off. He padded off after her.
