Finding myself

[zalika]

Zalika padded over to the water's edge at the bottom of the waterfall. She was new around here and didn't know what to do here. Looking into the water she saw her reflection. Her image looked so dull and deranged. Dirt and mud was sticking to her fur and she simply looked like a mess. 'What the hell did you get into?' she thought to herself. She dipped her head into the water then brought it back out. Using her left paw she cleaned her face off. When she looked back into the water she smiled a bit. 'There’s the Zalika i know.' she laughed a bit then sat her form down next to the water and began to enjoy the scenery. It was a beautiful place. Closing her orbs she felt the mist and smelled its sweet smell. The noises around her were quiet and calm. She was definitely enjoying her quiet time. The quiet night was making her rather sleepy though. Her head was starting to bob up and down as she slowly drifted off into a nice sleep. After about fifteen minutes of fighting off the sleep she gave into it. She laid her form all the way to the ground and rested her head on her paws. Zalika fell into her sleep happy and content.

Tiera had been hiding away in the bushes my the waterfall when she heard the presence of another dog, she peeked out to find a strange femme looking at herself in the water, tiera needed the company, but was extremely wary of unknown dogs. she watched as the femme slowly dirfted off to sleep, she crept out of her hiding place as so not to wake the female, she padded over to the river and looked at herself, the white patches of fur on her body was completely matted with mud, her long sleek face was tear stained, her streamline greyhound body was malnourished and her ribs were protruding from under her pelt, she didnt care, she glanced at the femmed asleep a few yards away, she looked happy and content, far from how tiera was feeling or looked, she lay down by the river, her head in her paws, she just watched the strange dog as she slept, tiera smiled for the first time in months, she let out a sigh, she lay on her side and closed her eyes, she wasnt tired or even trying to sleep, she just felt safe in the presence of this stranger, she felt that she could be at least a small part of her normal self

Zalika began to dream and her mind drifted in as if it were real. Her dream was of a past experience. (She found herself walking along the black trail the followed between long rows of structures. Each structure looked exactly the same but they were falling apart. Zalika didn't know what these structures were but she found herself intrigued by them. As she walked down the black trail she found one that was different. She stopped in front of this one and stared at it for a long time. When she took a step forward towards the house a big rottweiler came barreling out, he's teeth bared and he sprang for her.) Zalika woke up with a whelp of fear, she stood up and looked around feeling that the dog was still here. She looked left and right, didn't find the dog from her dream but found a dog in her presents. Her head tilted as she thought to herself 'who is this?' She let her right paw go forward to approach this new character that she had never seen before. Zalika wouldn't growl or snarl unless the felling that she got in her stomach was flaring, and it wasn't. This dog seemed to not be here for harm, so Zalika walked over to her. She stopped about 3 feet away from her and stood there looking down.

tiera heard the yelp and a scrabble of paws as the other dog got to her feet, tiera's eyes shot open, she looked up at this strange dog, she backed away a little, not making eye contact, her pulse was racing her breathing short and shallow, she gulped nervously, she atempted to pull her slim weak body to her feet, her once powerful racing legs now trembling due to lack of food, she managed to get herself up somehow, her whip like tail between her legs, she closed her eyes breathing deeply, when she opened them again, her vision was all blurred, she could see this strange dog like figure infront of her, her eyes were wide with fright, her legs suddenly gave way, she collapsed in a heap on the floor, she desperately tried to pull herself to her feet, but she had no energy to even stand up anymore, she whimpered like a lost puppy, her eyes darting around the scenery and then back to the dog, she couldnt see her facial emotions and couldnt tell if this femme was dangerous and going to attack her, her fragile body quivvered, she looked at the ground breathing deeply waiting to see what the stranger would do

Zalika tilted her head looking at the femme. In the blink of an eye she ran into the woods behind her. She sniffed around the area until she found it. The scent of a doe deer. She let her nose lead the way and she stopped about 8 feet away from the grazing deer. Zalika knew better than to just kill any deer, so she scanned the area looking for a fawn. When she didn't find one she looked at the deer more closely seeing if it was a meaty deer or if it was all bones. It looked pretty good so she hunched herself to the ground. She let the deer come to her. When it was in reach and its head was to the ground to graze on the misty grass Zalika sprang up from her hiding spot startling the deer but it was too late. She had already sunk her teeth into its neck and drug it to the ground. Zalika shook her head violently until she heard a snap. After the snap she let go to see if it was really dead. She used her nose to nudge it this way and that. IT was dead. She began to drag the carcass back to the weak femme. Her legs were the strongest part of her body so it wasn't that hard to do. When she exited the forest she drug it to the femme and dropped it in front of her. Zalika used her front teeth to nibble at the fur/skin. When she had a nice tab of it she yanked it backward ripping the skin from the muscles. She dropped the skin and then sat her form down and looked at the fae.
