will scraps really do? [pepper]

[>.< Minxy >.<]

Tigra wandered into the dump, her stomach rumbled, she was starving, her heavily pregnant body swaying from side to side as she walked through the dump, she found something that looked like it was edible, she sniffed at it, it didnt smell to good, but she was starving and if her growing pups were going to survive she would have to eat it, she took the scarps into her mouth and chewed, it was the worst thing she had ever eaten but if it even slightly filled her stomach she would be happy, her red wavy coat cleaming in the sun, and it made her swollen body look even bigger than it was, she was annoyed that she hadnt got a mate and some strange dog had force bred her, she was positive that no dog would want to be mates with her, and even if they did they would probably kill her pups as soon as they were born, she sighed and padded to a reasonably clean spot and layed down, something caught her eye, she looked at it, it was something sliding down the mountain of trash, it was another dog, suddenly she realised it was a dog she didnt know, she put her head to the ground so the other dog would know that she was no threat

[Wandering]

Ripper wandered into the dump, patrolling, as any good Mafia dog would. He suddenly slipped and found himself sliding down a mountain of trash. He yowled loudly when he felt his leg bone snap. He tried to stand, but the pain was too much. Oh great, just what I need, he thought. Ripper lay down in the rubbish and looked around. He had also cut his flank on a sharp piece of metal. He spotted another dog nearby. Oh dammit, who if they're unfriendly, I can't excately defend myself, now can I? He fumed, and waited to see if they would approach.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

tigra heard him yelp in pain, he didnt move for a long while, she wondered if he was ok, it was a good thing she was down wind, she could take in his scent, definately mafia, she knew they were dangerous, but he seemed badly hurt, but then again what if it was a trick and he wanted to hurt her, but her friendly personality broke through that, she steadily got to her feet, she approached him cautiously and then stood a few feet away, she saw his leg bent the wrong way and blood streaming from his flank, her heart skipped a beat, he was badly hurt, "oh my god" she said running over to him "are you ok?" she asked as she inspected him wounds, she started to gently lick the blood from his side, "sorry" she said as she saw him winse in pain, she stepped back, the flank had nearly stopped bleeding now, she faced him "i am Tigra" she said and as if on que her belly rippled with movement "and these are my pups" she said, she didnt mid revealing this, not that it wasnt obvious or any thing, but he wasnt exactly going any where and he didnt seem to dangerous in this state

[Wandering]

Ripper saw a female approach. He tried to be friendly and smile, he probably reeked of Mafia scent, and she was probably terrified of him, but she didn't act like it. She cleaned his wounds, and even apologized when he winced. Woah, if only all pretty femme's were as nice as her. Then she said her name. Tigra. That was a nice name, he guessed. And then he saw her belly. Oh, she was pregnant? And then she introduced her pups. Sweet. He spoke.

"I'm Ripper. And it's nice to meet you Tigra. You and your pups."

He moved his front leg and winced.

"Ouch! God dammit my leg hurts!"

He knew that his leg was broken, but he had to get up somehow. He looked up at Tigra and waited for her to do or say something.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

"dont try to stand, you will only hurt yourself more" she said to him soothingly, she smiled "and its nice to meet you too ripper" she added, although he was mafia he seemed completely different, she looked at his broken leg, she felt sorry for him "what were you doing up there any way?" she asked nodding towards the top of the mountain of trash, she bent her head down again and very gently licked his bad leg soothingly, her pink tongue moving in small circles around where it was begining to swell, she stopped after a few minutes, then she realised something, she was normally very quiet and shy around dogs she didnt know, but here she was talking to a complete stranger, not only that, he was mafia, *it must mean something* she thought to herself, just as she was thinking that, her hazel brown orbs met his, his eyes were so calm and inviting even though he must have been in a considerable amount of pain, she managed to pull herself away just before she fell into his trap, she looked away in embarassment, but pretended to be looking for something among the heaps of garbage, she looked back to him, waiting to see what he would do next

[Wandering]

Ripper rested his paw as he listened to the femme's words. He felt...at ease when he was with her, like she was a true friend. He smiled slightly and spoke.

"Thank you for your kindness. I was patrolling these lands, looking out for any trouble, and then I slipped on that mountain of rubbish, and now here I am."

He smiled and waited. He wondered where Carrie was. He wondered where the rest of his pack was. He sat and waited.

(Ur Minxy sorry to tell you but I think Ripper and Carrie might still be mates, I have to talk to Cyanide about it. But I am not sure yet, so don't make her fall in love with him just yet. XD)

[>.< Minxy >.<]

(oh, ok, what happens if carrie and ripper are?)

she smiled at him "its no trouble" she said "after all, what else am i good for" she said nodding slightly towards her swollen belly, she could tell something was wrong when he started to look around, as if looking for a mate, she sighed, she knew she shouldnt have gotten her hopes up on finding a father for her unborn pups, she knew she shouldnt have gotten too involved, but she couldnt just leave him now, she lay down beside him, keeping him company, as a friend, "so do you have a mate?" she asked as casually as she could, she looked interested, she smiled at him, she looked at his leg "thats looking a little better already" she said as she noticed that the swelling had gone down slightly, she looked back up at him and noticed he was looking around again, "your not from around here are you?" she asked noting his movements, she noticed him try and struggle to his feet and then collapse again, "you shouldnt do that, you will make it worse" she said, he just seemed to look at her as if to say 'look i have a mate and i need to go find her' she let her eyes drop to the floor as she waited for him to answer

[Wandering]

Ripper nodded and listened to her words. She felt as if she was not important. He shook his head and laughed softly, nuzzling her.

"You are most probably good at a lot of things. And you will make some brute very happy someday. So tell me about yourself Tigra."

He smiled and waited. His leg felt a lot better now, and he was very grateful to Tigra for what she did, and she was very pretty. In fact, if there wasn't a complex and strange relationship between himself and Carrie, he would happily be Tigra's mate. But he had to think first. And would she want him? A large wolf husky mix? A dark? A mafia member? He had to clear his head first, and think about it. He sighed and waited.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

"well there isnt much to tell" she said, happy he was being so nice to her, "believe it or not i am only 3" she said slightly laughing "i left my family for adventure" she smiled thinking back to her forgotten memories, "i came here about a year ago, and i was getting on fine, lots of places to explore and see, then a couple of months ago, when i was in heat, a strange male dog force bred me and then ran off into the night, it was so brief that i dont even know what breed he was" she said relaying her story, just the thought of it made her shudder, she looked away from him as if ashamed of herself, she looked back to him, she smiled softly "right you have heard about me, what about you?" she said wanting to change the subject very quickly, trying to forget that dreaded night a few months ago that still haunts her til today, her swollen belly rippled with movement, Tigra smiled, if only they could have a father to grow up with, what kind of life would it be without having a dad, she sighed, and wagged her tail slightly waiting for his answer

[Wandering]

Ripper listened and nodded. She told him her story, and he listened and nodded to every word of it.

"Woah, sort of rough past, eh? Well, I will tell you about myself then. I'm a soldier of the mafia, as you probably know. I am a dark. I am a wolf/husky mix, my mother died shortly after birth, my father force bred her. I was adopted by some kind femme and she taught me well and raised me well. Then I left her when I turned 3, now here I am, on the island. I have met this femme called Carrie, and me and her...well, I don't know if we are mates or not. It's rather confusing."

He smiled and waited for Tigra to say or do something.

[>.< Minxy >.<]

all tigra could do was smile, he was a very nice male, and would make a very lovely mate and father, he was kind, caring, although he was dark and part of the mafia, he didnt seem like it one bit, and in some ways this carrie femme made tigra jealous, she looked at the floor and then back at ripper, she was begining to get uncomfortable, so she sat up to release some of the pressure she was puting on her stomach from lying down, she stiffled a yawn and shook her head to try and wake herself up a bit, she looked at ripper, her red coat gleaming in the sunlight, her hazel orbs making contact with his, she could feel herslef melting inside, it was a shame that there was another femme involved, would he want her anyway, her irish breed, her young age, her neutral alliance, and another dogs puppies, she sighed, oh how she wished she could have a mate and a father for her unborn pups, a lovely male dog who would love her and treat her puppies as his own, she smiled as she got caught up in her own little world, from the corner of her eye she noticed that ripper was staring at her, she shook her head quickly and looked at him smiling
