animal wars

ALIRI

I turned to see yet more animals sitting around. One I recognized as Saber, ranting about a rabbit that got away. I rolled my eyes and trotted over. "Give them a break, Saber. Not like they would know you were after anything."

Saber glared at me. "I almost had it!"

I hissed, tail twitching. "I don't care. Go find it again if it's so important to you. If I remember correctly, you've ruined quite a few of my hunts."

Jake whimpered. "Stop it!" He barked.

I turned towards him irritably. "Hush. I'm defending you, which is something I don't do often." He hushed and sat down, whimpering slightly. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Saber. "Now, be a dear and leave the poor things alone."

Laika

I flashed Jake a sympathetic grin as he launched into awkward and enthusiastic pursuit of his tail. It was a compulsion that many of my lupine friends seemed to share. I lounged and listened, happy to hear that everyone had noticed the intrusion of the Thumbs and was treating it with due seriousness. Suddenly, the skittering flight of a rabbit caught my attention, followed by an enraged roar and the entrance of a newcomer, who immediately turned frustration to us, screaming at us for being loud, or something. I rose and took a concise step forward, letting my jaw hang open and rumbling deep in my throat with wary indignance.

Aliri was already speaking, and Jake had recoiled, being closest to Saber, who I recognized after a moment.

I am not into this it just seems.... I don't know

A. S.

Grace~

Grace ran as fast as her legs could carry her, eyes squeezing together as the wind brought on tears. "Grace!" Rook, an old family friend, howled after her angrily. She simply ran faster, in a panic, as the thing around her neck wouldn't loosen. She could hear voices ahead, animal voices, and ran faster. She leaped over a fallen log smoothly, her coat rippling in the sunlight, and smiled brightly as she became airbourne, the rope loosening. Suddenly, the loop on the end of the rope caught on a tree branch, high above her. Grace tumbled down a hill, stopping halfway by the strength of the rope, which was latched on the branch, strung tightly around her neck. She choked and scrambled to get to her paws, the pull on the rope making in impossible. Damn those Thumb's traps! With a weak breath, Grace let out her strongest, but still weak, bark.

Rook~

Rook's ears pricked at Grace's bark. She was too far off to pinpoint exactly, so he just continued to chase after her pawprints. He skidded to a stop after clearing a fallen tree, seeing the Thumb's rope strung between a thick branch, and Grace's neck. The she-dog was struggling, her eyes bugged and terrorfied, and she struggled for a breath. Rook swiftly ran to her, pushing her up the hill. Even if he did get her to solid ground, the rope would still be strung tight. So, deciding quickly, he let out a distressed howl. Maybe, just maybe, someone would hear him and cut the rope while he kept Grace from choking to death.

Laika

I yip-howled, threw my head back to the sky at the sound of Rook's desperate howl. My legs were already stretched beneath me as I broke into a run, staying close to the ground and recognizing the urgency of the situation only from his panicked sound. I froze for a moment, ears twitching, until I caught the frantic sound of some creature scrabbling in the dirt. I approached in a crouch, assessing the situation with trademark caution.

Grace was tangled in a snare, feet thrashing desperately.

"Oh! Grace!" I exclaimed, trotting to her side to glance at the rope before fastening my jaws around it and pulling. It tightened, and Grace yipped.

"Wait, wait," I said, thinking, tongue lolling. "Um. Stop thrashing and walk forward. I'll pull from this end. It should slip off if there's no more, ah...tension in the rope." My speech was clipped, anxious, but I hoped to get Grace free, quickly.

No one wanted a human... so im going to make one... ill post it in the DT

Jake

I followed Laika, it was one of my kind in trouble, after all. I got there in time to see Laika pull a thumbs rope off of grace.
"Is she all right?" I asked sniffing her down, looking for any sign of thumbs.
"I'm fine, let's get out of here before they come!" She looked around frantically, i gave Rook my spot at her side as we ran.
"Stupid thumbs are going to pay, I'm going to warn the kitty-cats about the traps. If they hurt someone i know, they'll make this personal." They nodded and i broke off of the group. When i was far enough away from them i heard something in the bushes.

*aka the human im making*

Rook~

Rook looked over at his sister, well the she-dog that might has well've been his sister, and narrowed his eyes in anger at the thought of the Thumb's. "Thank you Laika," Rook finally sighed when they came to a slower pace, Laika smiling crookedly and nodding.

"Yeah, thanks a lot." Grace smiled kindly, "I owe you one, really." Rook noticed her nose wrinkle at the scent of cats around the same time Rook caught it.

"It's alright, I'm glad I could help!" Laika smiled, her tongue lolling out of her mouth happily. Rook chuckled and nudged her ear sweetly before ducking through a bush, coming snout to nose with a group of cats.

Hunter~

Hunter sighed at he and Bailey treked through the forest, his machete not really being used as they walked. "I honestly think we're lost Bails, there hasn't been any signs of actual life for the passed six miles!"

In all honestly, Hunter just wanted to find someone or something to give them actual information about the planet they'd landed on. "Really Bails, let's just camp for the night, and then..." Before he could finish his sentence though, he tripped over a log and came face to face with a huge black dog.

Bailey

I gasped at the large black dog, it gave a low pitched growl and stalked back. He spoke in a threatening tone.
"Hello thumbs, you realise your in our territory." I helped Hunter up. Then took a step back.
"sorry." I looked up at hunter. "looks like We're not wanted here either, first my own dad kicks me out of camp, now the animal people want to rip our throats out. The dog chuckled a bit.
"Who said your going anywhere, you'll tell the thumbs our where-abouts. Come with me." He took a step towards the bushes. We hesitated a second, then he turned.
"Do i have to drag you?" Hunter tugged on my arm and we followed.

JAKE

The thumbs followed obediently. I didn't know what to do with them, maybe the others would. I jumped through the bushes to find the dogs and cats.
"Look what I found." I chuckled at them as the thumbs came through the trees. I walked up behind them and nudged them beside the group. The boy held out a large metal object, i kept my distance from it. Lord knows how sharp it was. I could smell their fear.

Raven
I grinned at the thumbs cattily. "Nice job Jake." I said smiling at him. "So what are we going to do?" He asked. In answer I pounced lightly and knocked the metal object out of the boys hands. I nudged it out of the way and closer to us.

Bailey

I could feel my legs getting weak. I leaned against Hunter for support. He smiled down at me, in an attempt to reassure me, but i could still see he was terrified. The black dog nudged the back of my knee, making it give out. I stumbled, letting Hunter go and falling forward. He trotted to my front, nudging hunter away from me. He leaned down and smelt my face. I looked up into his deep brown eyes, he seemed so dangerous, but his eyes were hiding his inner puppy.

Jake

I separate the thumbs, you never know what they could do when they're together. The girl fell over, so i pushed the boy away. She stared into my eyes, i could see her fear. I shook my head and backed up. What was i becoming? These thumbs were harmless and weak. We couldn't do anything to them unless they posed a threat.
"So what are we going to do with them."

Rook~

Rook let out a challenging growl. "I say we kill them. They're of no use to us, and if we let them go they'll run back to the other Thumbs." Rook snarled. Even if he was usually kindhearted, the earlier events of his best friend's almost-death played over in his head, making him angrier.

"Kill them?!" Grace's voice rose a few octaves. "Isn't that taking it a little too far Rook? Sure, they're a danger to us, but these thumbs here can't be full-grown. They're still learning as many of we animals are! I say they come with us! We can keep an eye on them, and if need be, have them help us along the way!" Grace's tail wagged slowly. "Whaddya say?"

ALIRI

I sighed. "Fine. They come with us. The second they pose a threat they're dead." I glared at the Thumbs intently, enjoying their squirming.

Grace frowned at me, but she didn't protest.

"What do you say Rookie?" I asked, tail twitching.

Akia:

How could no one be about? I ran through the forest sniffing the air so that I could find someone. I actually caught a couple scents at once and followed it. When I came into the clearing thumbs were standing there terrified. I let out a growl and looked to the others "What are they doing here?" I spat.

I looked them over for any resemblance to the man who killed my family. They didn't match, lucky for them or I would have killed them right then and there.

Aliri said "They don't pose as a threat right now so we are taking them with us. Jake found them in the woods."

I advanced towards them and began taking in there scent. Standing up on my hind legs I rested y front paws on on of their chests and they went almost as white as me.

I brought my face closer to theirs until my nose touched their furless skin.

Saber

I looked at the thumbs, they didn't seem that dangerous. No claws, not very sharp teeth.
The lion was up on her hind-legs, sniffing the thumbs. They were having a hard time keeping there balance. I didn't know what to say, I just sat there looking at them.
