Berkshire Shopping District

First topic message reminder :

Where most of the stores in Hartford are located. These include small, family-owned stores as well as huge chain restaurants and supermarkets. Locals don't really like seeing stray dogs walking around here, and they'll be chased off on sight! Stores are located on the left and right with large parking lots and a large central street that branches off in several places.

Sophie's smiled disappeared at the sound of a growl. She flicked her ears at the direction of the dog. Wanting her to go away. She blinked her frigid blue eyes.

Sophie heard Flip speak. She blinked and turned to the other dog. She flicked her ears. "Why are you here?"

Sophie flicked her ears. "Do what you want. I didn't stop you." Sophie flicked her tail and blinked her frigid blue eyes.

Sophie raised her eyebrows. She then flicked her ears. "Well,nice to meet you again. Whoever you are." She then stood up and padded away. Sophie felt bored. She sat in a bush.

Raj pushed through the small groups of people, who were gathered in the night. He would smirk and wag his tail. Fools, all long legs are fools. Nothing but fools. Turning around h kicked down a can, revealing its smelly contents. He nosed around, ignoring the scowls he could hear from the fools as he called them. After nosing around for a few moments, the male finally found something sweet and good smelling. With a happy yip he pulled it out and ate it, in a few short famished gulps.

He began to walk away, the mess behind him. Raj turned to see a person picking up his mess and smirked, but the person appeared to be smirking as well. The large dog stopped, strange. Rarely did humans smile at picking up after dogs, especially this man. The malamute had known the man for a while always barking and taunting him, so this was strange indeed. A few minutes after watching the man, his stomach began to hurt fiercely, and his throat ached. His eyes darted over to the man, raising a brow as the man had simply stopped to watch as if waiting for something. Raj could sense the man's anticipation but for what? Soon after asking himself, he felt short of breath and sides heaved as he gasped for air. Air became harder and harder to obtain as his tongue seemed to fill his mouth. Drool dripped from his jaws, in a rather gross display.

Raj soon felt his mouth go dry but it was far from that. The male began shivering violently, as foam formed at the edges of his mouth, replacing the drool the slipped down his jaws just minutes ago. His paws no longer seemed to be connected to the earth as he stumbled away from the laughing man. A slimy trail of drool left behind as he went, laughter filling his ears. What was going on? As he passed the people again, some would shy away in disgust, just the look of his crazed eyes enough to make a few women scream. Others though, would come up to the dog, give him a sharp kick to the side or a butt from behind. He hadn't made himself the best reputation around people. A few of the long legs standing around taunted the weakened dog, as he panted wishing for breath more than anything else. With a last glance back, his eyes wide in a fear he had never felt before he struggled to get away.

-some place, whose title is unknown

Nightingale walked up to find the mess and the laughing human, with a savage growl she lunged out of the night at the human. her strong capable jaws clamping onto their pale as moon wrist, crimson blood filling her mouth. a smile appeared on her jaws before she let the human run away. she turned and slunk off the smells of other dogs filling hernose. she walked into a white pair of dogs and backed up with a light icy growl on her face. she wasnt good with other animals.

She licked her chops free of human blood and backed up, the white blaze on her chest reflecting in the darkness. she said in her cold voice "i apoligise if i have you on alert... i was not growling at youbut at the man who killed my..." she paused what would she name the malamute... "associate". her large form was in a relaxed dominant pose. her voice was icy like a wall of ice twenty meters thick.

She said in a cold tone "i dont show my emotions for the world to bare, and i have taken my revenge on the human who set the trap for him". she flicked her whipcord tail and watched these two white dogs. she waited for their next words. establishing that one was maleand the other female. she was larger than them so she could take them though numbers usually beat size.

Her eyebrow twitched and she said "emotions are bound to lead you down the wrong path, the brain is the onethat leads my way. My temper is nothing to speak of. it is pride. pride in myself that i will not join a pack of weaklings that have to be in a pack to be strong. pridein being able to take care ofmy self and needing noone else". her words were icy and solitary. her brown eyes watched the male white dog with a icy intensity. she was like fire with none of the heat. her mind calculated how fast she could run, she wasnt in a fighting mood today. she could probbaly get back to familiar ground and prepare herself if the two dogs decided to attack. satisfied with this she shifted her stance into a more relaxed one.

She moved quickly snapping her teeth at him beforemoving out of range "dont call me sweetheart or you wont wake upint hemorning" her smoky voice was low andmeanacing. she drew her head back as she backed up she hadnttold anyone her name in years "i am Nightingale" she said. she didnt sayit was nice to meet this white dog. she was not polite she wasnt proper she was a flame protected by ice. she shifted her feet back to a more comfortable position keeping her head out of the other dogs reach with a wary precison. her brown eyes watched the dogs with a stealthy wariness.

She snorted "that is a lie, you bite your food do you not?" her brown eyes watched him with curiosity. her tail stood like a rod upin the air. she recognized one of the side dogs as one she had insulted earlier. my day just gets better and better dosent it she though to herself sarcastically. she ducked her head to clean the last vestiges of dirt of her pelt. Despite living at a dump she was a very clean animal.

She snorted and flicked her tapered ears back she replied "Ill spare you the story" her tone warning. she still had not sat down as most dogs would do once they had established that there was no threat. she continued to stand, ingnoring the pain in her joints. betraying no look of the pain she strolled over to where there was some grass and stood on that instead. her paws sunk into the comfortable grass and she turned her large head over towardthe smaller white dog.

"i am more comfortable standing think you" she went on to say "though your concern for my well being is touching". her sarcasam was evident. she was getting a bit sick of the conversation and her mind was drifting back home. she wrinkled her nose angrily. because of that dumb fluffy dog she couldnt go back to the dump for a while otherwise his pathetic pack dogs would think that she killed him. she grunted and decided, well she might as well get used to hanging around her. she sat down gingerly and twitched her tapered ears. she hated the feel of the grass on her behind. maybe she was just weird like that.
