seeking safety [open]

Nero padded into the dark, cool tunnel, his white paws submerged in dirty water, his red coat looked alomost black in the dark, further along the tunnel there was a raised platform, he jumped up onto it, he wandered around in circles for a few moments before lying down, he looked up and down the tunnel for signs of life, nothing, it was all quiet apart from the occassional dripping sound of water falling from the roof of the tunnel, he took a deep breath and snuggled down, he stretched out his legs and started to clean his dirty paws, when he was done, he curled his tail aound him and his white tip covered his nose, as he lay in the dark he thought about his lost love, 'ella' was from the mafia pack, only she didnt tell nero that, but it didnt matter anyway, they where in love, one day ella didnt turn up at their meeting place so nero went in search of her, only to find the mafia, they pinned him down and made him watch as they ripped ella apart, he shook his head, he had to stop thinking about it an move on, he lifted his head as he heard the sound of another dog approaching

Wren stepped delicately over the pieces of trash in the dirty tunnel. She winced as her foot slipped and she stepped into a puddle of murky water. The border collie sighed and rolled her eyes, what was the point of even going in here? She shook her head knowing that turning around would have been a better option, but she continued forward anyway. Even though it had been a while since she had been the helpless lost Female in this city, Wren still decided it would be better for her if she explored more. She sneezed loudly as her muzzle was wrapped in sticky cobwebs, grunting she pawed at her face, trying to get the stuff off. Finally she lifted her head, so maybe coming in here wasn't such a great idea! Wren was about to turn around when she caught the scent of another dog. She stopped and raised her muzzle in curiosity, why would any dog want to be in here? Her curious mind got the better of her and she found herself padding yet farther into the tunnel. The brown and white femme found herself splashing through the brownish water in search of this dog scent. She was eager to find out why any dog would want to be in here?

nero could smell the unknown, definately a female, he smiled, it would be nice to have someone to talk to, the scent kept getting stronger, the female was definately heading in this direction, he sat up so he could see better, he looked up and down the tunnel for the new comer, but he couldnt see anything yet, but then it came to him, it could be the mafia tracking him down, he lay down low, tucking his white paws under him so they could not be seen, he kept still and quiet as the dog approached, he hoped that his red coat would make him hard to see in the dark, he kept his brown eyes pinned on the female as she came closer, he lay his pointy harks flat against his head, his normally waggy tail was motionless, he wouldnt say or do anything until the dog revealed itself, he could only just see her a she came round the corner, and to his amazement she too was red and white, although she had alot more white on her than he had on him, he hadnt seen another border collie the same colour as himself, and here was was only a few metres away from one, not only that, she was female, he smiled, but he still kept low just incase

As Wren turned a corner, the scent grew very strong. The border collie blinked and looked around, sure they should have been right there! She wrinkled her nose in confusion, "maybe the dirty smells are getting to me!" She thought. Still she padded forward a few more paces, so sure that she would have found another dog. As she came close to a raised cement block, she noticed paw prints on it. Cocking her head to one side, Wren put her fore paws on it and pressed her muzzle into the cold gray block. By the smells she could tell that the dog had been here only a few moment before, where did they go? Wren huffed and jumped onto the block, there where a few red and white hairs on it. She pawed at the air, the scent was defiantly male! Raising her head, Wren peered into the darkness, "hello?" She called, no answer. The border collie's ears lay flat impatiently and she sighed. "I just want to know who's here!" She called again into the blackness, once again she got no answer. Wren snorted in frustration, why would they run away?

she didnt sound like mafia, infact she sounded lost and confused, nero sat up, "i'm here" he said "what are you doing in here, this is no place for a female such as yourself" he said to her, but he still smiled in a friendly way at her, he got up and walked over to her, he started to sniff her, taking in her scent, she definately didnt smell like mafia, when he was done he sat down infront of her "i'm Nero by the way" he said, he looked at her scruffy coat, he smiled, her white and red were evenly spread across her body, unlike his, he was mostly red, with white paws, a white tip, and white chest and a thin white strip down his face, she was pretty, but his heart would never let him fall in love again, he sighed sadly and looked at the ground, he was thinking about it again, he shook his head abruptly and looked at this unknown femme, happy to have her company, the thing was, she reminded hiim so much of ella, so pretty, so calm, yet seems like she is completely down to earth, he tried so hard to not let it get to him, so he just gritted his teeth and smiled poiltely at her
