The Worst to Come

"Now that we are bigger I think it would be wise to cover more territory." Barren said from the top of a run down cop car. His eyes scanned over the three new dogs of the pack. "Alaska I want you to take Roxie and Crater to the east side of the territory, and make sure we can claim that." she nodded looking at him. "Jupiter I want you to come with me and Asher to the north side. We will report back here when the sun is at his highest." he nodded up to the sky. The sun seemed to be barely hanging onto the sky, like a bug on a glass bowl trying to get to the top.

***

Alaska hobbled along the well trampled path towards the east side of the territory. The black and white dog was much farther ahead because she was the scout. Her senses heightened to the extreme. Her breath showed as she scented the air. "Anything?!" yipped Crater. Her teeth flashed as she growled back to the trainee,"Be quiet!" something wasn't right...something was coming. Roxie trotted to Alaska, "What?" the other dog glanced her way. "Something is here.. its surrounding us.." Roxie began to growl and look around,"Crater come here!" Crater rolled his eyes thinking nothing was wrong, "Why, whats the ho-" Alaska cut him off once she saw what she was smelling, two-legs. (continue from there)

Mean while with Asher, Jupiter and Barren..

"Jupiter you smell anything?" Barren barked to the other dog while looking at Asher. Jupiter shook his head then spoke. "No nothing.."he said turning his head with a stop. the white leader looked up at the sky to see the sun at its highest point. "alright lets head back to meet the others." Asher nodded as jupiter ran to catch up to them. The three get there and dont see the others, "its not like Roxie to be late.." Jupiter whispers to Barren. "yea..lets go check it out.."

The Beginning

Barren ran through the empty streets that were littered with crow food. Two-leg monsters scattered recklessly with little to no two-legs in sight. He felt Roxie and Jupiter hot on his heels. "How long can we keep running?" Roxie panted while slowing her pace. Barren stopped and turned to her,"As long as it takes, those crow food dogs can keep that junk yard!" his deep brown eyes looked passed the golden and white dog to see if they were still being followed. A sigh of relief  washed over Barren when he didn't see the other two dogs in sight. "But what if they catch us next time. We cant keep running.." Jupiter wheezed as he turned to face his friends. Barren shook out his pelt then settled next to the other two." Then we will no longer run we will grow..fight and we will become better than them!" the white dog pressed out his chest as he spoke. "We will become silent pack." Barren said proudly.
