The question is, do you still want to?

ok and I know my anatomy sucks on this, but I used absolutely no reference on this, so just pretend the anatomy is 100% correct haha

1. It's MY rabbit:

2. Response:


Sniper's POV:
<sub>Slowly opening her eyes, Sniper looked up at the feeling of someone nudging her. Before she could blink she had leapt to her paws and looked around snarling. She had not meant to fall asleep, even though it was Elvis's turn on the watch. He was not fully trusted yet, but when she glanced at her ribbon on her shoulder, it was still there, so she trusted him a little more. At least he had not attacked her in the middle of the night. He looked at her as she finally calmed down. "Alright, this is what I am thinking. I will go try to find an abundant source of water that is not the central lake, and you can find food?"
Sniper nodded. "Very well, we will meet back here when the sun is at half height, or what the humans call noon."
He nodded as well, and turned on his rear paws and disappeared into the bushes.
Growling under her breath, Sniper still did not fully trust him, but she had to hope for the best. Unless he had made other alliances, they needed each other to survive.
Finally, she made her way along the forest, trotting quietly, constantly sniffing for predators and prey. Nothing seemed to move though in the forest, only the small bell like sounds of the birds were able to reach her ears, which was a little disconcerting.
Shrugging the thought away, she continued on, hoping for a smell of something.

Her patience was soon rewarded with a light fluffy tail sticking out of the bushes. Her stomach growled slightly, and after sniffing one more time to double check no one was near, she leapt easily into the air, and came down swiftly on the rabbit, her paws landing on opposite sides of the brown fluffy mass. Before the rabbit could scamper away into the bushes, a quick strike of Snipers ivory color teeth silenced it forever. Smiling proudly to herself, Sniper picked up the rabbit, and trotted along the cold, frost covered forest floor.

Again, she traveled for a few minutes without hearing a thing. Finally however, the smell of a small quail filled her nostrils and she placed the rabbit gently down to go find the bird for Elvis.
*****

After a few minutes of unsuccessful hunting, Sniper doubled back to where she had laid her rabbit under the bush. However, this time there was a new smell. A smell of another tribute, and as she closed the distance between her and her rabbit, the smell from the other dog increased as well. Circling back, Sniper made sure to stay downwind, and slowly approached the scene, sniffing, looking for a trap. Finally the sight was revealed to her. It was indeed another tribute. She did not know who it was though, and watched as they padded slowly over to where the dead rabbit lay. As they lowered their head to grab the fluffy tail to drag it out, Sniper launched herself clear over the bushes and slammed into the side of the tribute, bringing them down yelping.....


The fight continued and all Sniper concentrated on was the emerald green ribbon hanging off the multi-colored shepherds neck. The continued to snarl and snap at each other as the male squirmed his way out from under her. She launched herself again, her paws barely making contact with his side as he leapt away, snarling.
"How dare you take my kill." Sniper snarled viscously as the male glared at her.
"You left it there!" In the moment it took to defend himself verbally, Sniper launched herself forward, plowing into his side nocking him, once again, off his paws.
"This should teach you stupid mutts a lesson" Snarling, she reached her muzzle down to his green ribbon, trying to be the first to eliminate another competitor....</sub>

Glow's POV:

_{A surge of anger flooded through me. No dog had a right to call me a mutt, let alone a girl. As she snapped her jaws together, I jerked my head away. Instead of grabbing my ribbon as she had intended, her teeth ripped into my flesh. She let go out of shock. Ignoring the pain, I thrust my paws into her stomach and she stumbled back. Leaping to my paws, we faced each other. The dead rabbit lay between us. A loud crashing noise distracted us both as my two "allies" raced out of the hedge. They skidded to a halt, ready to leap into action. I grinned triumphantly at the lone dog as blood dried into my fur.
"Still want to fight?" I growled.}

Snipers POV

Sniper growled low under her breath and looked at the 3 dogs staring at her with smug looks on their faces. She knew they knew they had her in a tough spot. I guess this is what Prada warned me about... the thought viscously came to the front of her memory. She couldn't believe she had gotten herself in this situation. How could she have been so stupid? Of course the silver german shepherd had allies, and she had gone to headstrong into the fight. If she did get out of here "alive" she would have to be smarter. Just as she was about to try to outrun them, she could smell Elvis quickly approaching, as well as 2 other unfamiliar dogs. All she hoped was that the large group of dogs would go easy on her, and that at least Elvis was on her side. Suddenly, the large black and tan male leapt through the bushes, flanked by a Canis Nudari as well as a Saluki. Surprise and relief was plain on her face as she saw the two new dogs and Elvis start snarling at the silver shepherd and his group. Her confidence soared and she looked back at the 3 dogs as her newly formed group started circling them.

Her head raised and she let her ivory white teeth show under her coal black lips. "I believe the question is, do you still want to?"

ok, I know the black and white Karlean Bear Dog is out of the competition, but I didn't know that when starting the picture, so I will be drawing Sniper ripping off his ribbon (hope that's ok with everyone) after this, but yeah, Sniper's new (and old) alliances have come to her rescue! Hopefully they will be able to stay together to form a power group again for this hunger games. We shall see though (:
