Prism

<sub>She was alone. All alone. No one here to protect her. No one for her to love, and for them to love back. Nope, she was truly alone.

Prism padded along the streets, stopping to smell places. Behind her trotted her three pups; two males and one female. Oh, she loved them so much. But they didn't know love yet. They seemed to follow her as if they had no choice. Yes, it seemed the same as alone.

She sighed and fell down exhausted. She had no more energy. Her pups ran eagerly to her and began to suckle. So... alone. She let out a low wail into the air. Where was her mother? Where was her father? As small tears welled up in her eyes, she blinked them away and got up.

"Come my pups. Its time we find someone else to share our lives with." She continued on, until she fell into a packs territory. She didn't realize until she was ambushed by a pack of males. They barked and howled at her. Before she knew it she was flung to the ground and was being dragged by her hind legs.

She cried out, as her pups raced after her, being pushed into the ground by the males. Suddenly they stopped, and she lay panting on the ground. The terrain underneath changed. It was a hard stone she never saw before. Around her was a large circle of stone.

"Keahi, your highness? We caught this bitch on our lands." She heard the dogs talking. But who cared? She didn't have much more to lose. She sighed and waited for her fate to come to her. Would she die? Would this be the last thing she saw?</sub>

‘Keahi, your highness? We caught this bitch on our lands.’

The stench of young blood rolled around the Coliseum and stirred the Alpha from where he’d been lazing in the sun. The aromas were different—foreign—and he could pick out the reek of a female from where he was at the other side of the territory, sprawled out next to a column and enjoying the peace that came with the lack of visitors.

Barking and snarling—the mongrel heard it and rose, stretching as if the movement had been difficult and laborious. Yawning loosely, he tensed and relaxed his muscles, moving fluidly into movement and bounding over the vast expense of what had once been the main arena. Dirt and debris was kicked up in his wake as he strolled forward, fur moving with concealed muscles that lay beneath.

Yapping came next; the worried sounds of puppies, and Keahi began to snarl. He turned sharply, coming across the two dogs and the trespasser, her puppies watching from nearby. After a moment of watching, the Alpha stole forward to make his presence known, gaze cold and hard as he observed the scene for a moment. Her offspring looked at him and he ignored them, making a beeline for their mother.

“Stand to,” the dog uttered finally, and the bitch’s captors moved to the edge of the territory, watching eagerly. Now free to study her as he pleased, the male began to circle her slowly, as if he was making a critical analysis of her. There was a long pause before he sat down in front of her with an expressionless look in his eyes, inhaling deeply for a moment. “You are a trespasser.”

Keahi had many options when it came to such things. He tossed a slow, deliberate look between the bitch’s children and herself, deciding on what to do. “And as my dogs have caught you, it’s up to me to decide your fate.” Ambling over to her puppies, he picked up the female by the scruff of her neck and dropped her in front of her mother, ignoring the cries of the puppy’s brothers.

“Tell me, bitch,” the Alpha mused quietly, staring at the adult dog, “What would you do to stop me from slaughtering your children?”

<sub>For a while Prism layed, staring at the males. Suddenly they back up and a new scent came over her. She turned around to see a dog walking towards her. Pretty scrawny, I'd say. she silently said to herself, smiling.

"Stand to, You are a trespasser. And as my dogs have caught you, it’s up to me to decide your fate. Tell me, bitch, What would you do to stop me from slaughtering your children?" She listened to him talking, while watching him all the while. As he approached her children, she shifted slightly.

When she heard his last comment she leaped up, fire blazing in her eyes. "You lay one paw on them, and I'll kill you like theres no tomorrow." She grabbed her daughter and placed her with her brothers, who she gathered together.

She looked back at the dog. "And the names Prism, not bitch, dog." She snarled. She let out a growl beforing turning to leave. But the males blocked her exit, barking and howling. She turned back to the other dog, flicking her tail.

"Call the mutts off. Then I shall leave you to your territory." She slightly bowed, knowing that he might have been a higher rank. What came over me? I'm never so mean. Never... As she stared at Keahi a new light sparked in her chest. What was it?</sub>
