sing me a lullaby -- Iriot

[Amaia]

<sub>A sad whimper came from a small blue barn. Following that sad whimper, was a claw at a door. Small floppy ears were laying back, and a stub of a tail lay close to the butt. There were big hazel eyes staring ahead at the end of Saddle Creek as she pawed forward. Vaughn had left .. his scent was leading out of Saddle Creek. He was gone. Her only friend. Gone. She whimpered and threw her head back letting out a depressed howl. This world was just now becoming cruel!

She shook her head and then sighed, going back to her barn as she slipped on a small brown cowboy hat that he had given her. She pawed it to make it adjust correctly then looked outside. It was about noon and was the perfect time to hunt .. so, she would. Sighing, she looked at her paw that had gotten bitten by the rabbit she had hunted a few days ago, it still hurt and was swollen. But she had to eat. She hadn't sense Vaughns scent went stale. Shaking her head, she padded forward and came to the lake. Looking around, she spotted another rabbit and shrugged. Going after it, she yelped and tumbled around with it yelping as she fought to pin it down. Finally getting it pinned down, she bit at it, and let out a loud cry. It got her paw again! She held it up and looked at it as the wound reopened. Sighing, she shook her head and killed it. Laying by the stream, she stuck her bloody paw in the water and looked at the creature.


"Its reasons like you I need Vaughn .. I'm to small to hunt... oh why did he have to leave?" Amaia whimpered and looked down getting ready to take a bite of the brown creature

What was that? The shrill cry of a rabbit? Yes! It was coming from the direction of the barn. Reyalen, belly on the ground, slithered to the entrance. Looking in, she could just make out a miserable lump of dog hovering over the dead rabbit. The smell of blood and meat reached her nose, making her mouth water. She could almost taste that rabbit! She wanted it!

But, before she could enter, she needed some camo. Spotting a huge puddle of black mud, Rey trotted over and started to roll in the smelly muck. Who cares? She'd rinse it off later. Plus, the stench of dirt and mud would hide her scent.

When she thought that the tiny dog was looking the other way, the thief slipped in. She depended on the shadows for concealment, hugging the wall like a baby gorilla hugs its mother. Also, the stench of the hay, mud, and other prey animals was so strong, that her scent was hidden, or so she thought.

Still inching along, she stopped when she was three feet away. Low and fast, she snatched the carcass in her jaws and sped out of the barn. Tail up in the air, smiling at her success.

<sub>Amaia stared toward the exit of Saddle creek, her hazel brown eyes sad and big. But then, before she could take a bite of her meal, a dog snatched it and ran. Amaia let out a cry, and stood up limping at a fast pace after the thief. Had she just been robbed?! Ah! Where was Vaughn ... She needed Vaughn! For this exact reason!

She shook her head and put her paw down, now charging with all four paws, whimpering each time her bad paw hit the ground. It hurt. She didn't like the pain she felt. But she had to deal with it if she was to get her meal back. She couldn't believe she had just gotten robbed of a rabbit she worked so hard for! What was wrong with people now a days?!


"COME BACK HERE!" Amaia cried out, pain in her voice. She shook her head, and then came slowly to a stop. Her paw was in horrible pain, she couldn't take it anymore. She looked forward at the snatcher of her meal, and whimpered. Why did everyone always pick on the small dogs? Why were they bullied? She sighed and limped forward again "Please come back .. I cant have this happen to me not now" she woofed.

Reyalen looked back as the tiny dog chased her, making a desperate plea for her to stop and return the rabbit to her. Len stopped and turned. She sat the rabbit at her paws where she can keep an eye on it and make sure the little scrap didn't try anything.

"Look, Pumpkin. You just can't ask for your meal back. You expect me to just say 'Oh, I'm sorry I took your meal. Here.' No. The real world doesn't work like that, sweetie. The world is a cruel and unforgiving place."

She bent her neck until she was eye level with the dog. "I usually don't help others, especially scrappy dogs like you, but I'm feeling bad for you. So, heed my advice. After making a kill, you gotta guard it like it was your pup. Never let your guard down. You hear me? Never. Not even for a second. Because if you do, someone like me could come and take it." The tri-colored girl let out a soft chuckle.

She now placed a strong paw on the rabbit's flank, her gaze still fixed on the bearded dog.

<sub>Amaia whimpered and crawled up to the evil dog. She looked at her, through the hat that covered her eyes. Why were they so mean to small dogs?! It was hard to cover the meal when the meal was bigger then her. She blinked her eyes and looked at her. This dog was just like the one she met at the mines. Were there no nice dogs? She shook her head and sat down.


"You could of asked ... I would of been more glad to share .." trailed off the four year old schnauzer as she got shook her head. It seemed like everyone was harsh. She was honestly thinking of just hiding in her little barn until she passed onto the great dogs into the sky. Get away from the pain. Away from all this. Its not like she could live much longer anyway with all these bigger meaner dogs. She sighed and stood up with her injured paw in the air. "Id like to see you go what Ive been through. Losing my family, being the runt of the litter, being the smallest dog in Saddle Creek. Losing my only friend, and no less getting attacked by my own prey. Its not easy for a dog like me .. I guess its a curse me being so nice .. I cant do anything for myself. I never could anyway even if I was tough. You try guarding prey, when your a scared pup just trying to live." she woofed.

"Nah, asking is a waste of time. I come, I see, I conquer." This little dog got attacked by her own prey? No surprise there.

"Dear, when your a bigger dog, you hunt deer. With those antlers, they can impale you. With those hooves, they can trample you and break your spine. Squash you like a bug. I never said hunting live was easy. Especially for a pint-sized pup such as yourself. If I was your size, which I'm not, I'd resort to becoming a scavenger or eating bugs and smaller prey like birds and mice. They don't fight back."

That's when the tiny pooch started rambling on about family. "Dear, I was born to an Omega pair in a savage gang of thieves and killers. My siblings and I were taken away from our parents and raised by another pair of a higher status. I was taught to steal and fight for what I wanted. Then, as a final assessment, I was forced to kill my own parents. Do you know what it's like? Having to kill your own parents? I bet not. A soft dog like you wouldn't know." She let out a low growl. "Being the runt of your litter is nothing compared to what I've gone through in my three years. I've seen more gore that you'll ever see in your lifetime, little dog."

Reyalen sat her haunches on the ground. Did this dog ever give up? She sensed she was going to be here for a while.
