Stray not confused but experinced (Mature and advanced)

[❥ Destiny Styles]

The sun was blazing hot. The biggest star, shone all day and when it was time for it to go down to be replaced by the moon, it sent heat on the moon to keep these people smiling. Many people came to the beach so they could splash and play in the water, or they would go on romantic dates. Not many family pets came here.... and not many animals came here at all... except the most bravest strays.... there was not many out there. They were the ones who like to stay in the forest, like they were some doggiepet trapped in there home all day, but it was time to be free, use your time wisely....

An big, beautiful Kuvasz stepped out into the morning sun. It shone on her pelt and gave her warmth. She padded across the beach, sand flipping from her paws and replaced with dog-prints. She ran into an human the human bent down and hit the Kuvasz with her beach back. "Back away you stupid mutt." The Kuvasz didn't understand her words, though she took them wisely and let out a small wine. She backed away. She thought about what the human said: Back away you stupid mutts. What do the two-legged creatures have against dogs. They were not punching bags, are puppy alives that humans make they live on this earth.

The Kuvasz was known as, Akira. She was brave swift and loved near human place, but never trusted one. She had the eyes of an owl. Her Hazel eyes were bright and beautiful. Her pelt had sand from her paws to her muzzle. Her tail swished around. She was just the bravest stray around...

She continued trotting and as she passed by she saw a small girl eating a hot dog. Drool came down Akira's mouth and she slowly made her way infront of the human and lifted her paw and whined. The little girl seemed to have ketchup all over her muzzle. The little girl had worried eyes and dropped the hot dog and went crying to her mother. Akira leaned over and started eating the hot dog leftover. Suddenly, she saw the little girl holding paws with her mother, the mother looked like she just got out an barber shop. She narrowed her eyes. "Get away you stupid dog, before I call animal patrol." The woman kicked Akira which sent her doing a failing backflip. She grunted and groaned walking backwords then, running away.

The sun was going lower in the sky. She sighed. It was a long day. Akira sat over on the sealine and looked at the sun, trying not to make her eyes burn. For she once heard from another wise stray elder: "The sun is the brightest star, and it will give you blindness be careful for what you do, though it is beautiful and true"

Every night seemed long when you were alone in the world; oh how the heart would long for something else..something more. Brown paws tread across the sand carefully almost tenderly. Chocolate eyes ever wary and alert...the only sounds was the relaxing roar of crashing water, and the solo call of a lone gull. He paused once or twice to scent the ocean water that was damping his paw-pads. The sea breeze ruffled his short but thick pelt, and he lifted a sad gaze to stare out across the shifting water. The sun was in twilight and giving up its final warm rays...the air was cooling; hinting on a much cooler night. For to long he had been alone...the life of his kind...alone, unwanted. Some called him stray, loner, misfit....he avoided people. Brown ears perked forward and his sad gaze turned cold when he spotted a few teenagers that were using the last bit of daylight to play a game of Frisbee.

He hated them......despised everything about them.

They were hateful and mean in every sense of the word. Tucking his tail down he started off again going much quicker then before. He wanted to get as far away as he could...one of the human creatures called out to him and whistled..out of instinct he paused and turned a sharp muzzle toward them. They were watching him....their eyes laughing at him. Bristling he turned away and took off at a light run, putting as much distance between him and them was his first priority. The wind stroked his pelt and forgetting about the humans he gave into the warm rush of the wind. Up ahead he saw a familiar outline..a humans pet perhaps?

Tail raised almost instantly and waved behind him like a banner. The sun had just fallen out of sight and night was upon the beach...stars that shown with great power and beauty cast a faint glow across the white sand.

The stars were shining bright. Families and dates were moving on towards home. Akira watched the moon with her eyes reflected. She slowly closed them to cherish this moment once in for all.

The full moon shone bright, but had an yellow coloring to make it look like cheese in the sky. Distant howls of wolves and doggiepets sounded from the clearing. The things Akira could hear was: The ocean waves crasing down on the shore taking sand bits with soggy sand. She could also smell the taste of the salted-smelling ocean. She still stay sitting in vigal, silence.

Flashbacks flew in her head as she saw those harsly made two-legs. "Back away you stupid mutt!"
"Get away you stupid dog, before I call animal patrol!" Then that kick, that blew her away, felt like a thousand kicks at once.

Eyes of terror flew open with big pants. She looked at the moon shinning in the moonlight. She could still feel the pain of her flashback on her stomach. Akira breathed deeply and inhaled longly. She could still hear the lonley howls of the night, vibrating through the sky.
Suddenly, she lifted her smell. She could smell an dog near-by she looked over throwing herself back and fourth when suddenly, she saw another dog. She lifted her scent to make sure it wasn't one of those scary doggiepets but no, this one was one of her... he was an stray.

Akira stood looking at him her Hazel eyes shinning in the moonlight she sat on her haunches trying not to go back to those cherish times cause it would just bring uncherished moments.The good, to the bad. She did not really have those bad times and that's why she liked being an stay: They could eat whatever, just stay custious of the
two-legs. They could roam free without being put in the house at an recent time, they could travel instead of being left in the house all day.
doggiepets: had to stay in the house, they eat food that looks like mouse dung gross!

Eyes remained hard but softened just slightly when he came into scents reach of the white she dog. Slowing he jerked to a halt and let his gaze rake over her form with little restraint. She was very brave to come out here alone..a fighter? Chocolate eyes glanced at her neck...no collar...she was a misfit as well. Catching her gaze with a glittering one of his own he nodded curtly and said loudly, "Evening miss..." Lowering his tail and sitting back on strong hunches he gazed at her again this time lingering. She had a strong gaze and seemed to be in good health. Something that was uncommon for the streets.

Turning his gaze to the crashing water that lay feet away he gazed out over the sea and said in a softer tone, "What do they call you by?" He hadn't given up his name yet...though the thought crossed his mind...he decided to wait. To wait and see what type of female she was..if she was worth his attention. A small smile crossed his muzzle as if the idea humored him. Brown ears perked forward and his pink tongue sprang forth in a deep pant. The run had been exhilarating and he could still feel the ground moving beneath his paws...

The simple joys of life......

It was all they were allowed....a half eaten hamburger or a pile of baked potatoes that spent to long in the humans ice chest. The nights were long and the days even longer still..for with daylight came impatient human creatures that ruled with a steel toe.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Her eyes shone in amusement. "Hello miss...." she ran it threw. Then embarrassed, she turned away. She looked at the the foamy crashing waves. She then nodded in the return of the greeting still looking out in the beautiful, night ocean. "What do they call you by?" She thought, her tail thumped quietly, and her paw shifted nervously. "Akira." she answered finally.

Her nervousness came from the fact that, no strays lived here but her... no stray was strong enough, brave enough, filled with pride, to go by an twolegged beach. She never hardly saw a dog around neither did she meet one except for her brothers and sister. But no, no stranger dog. They made her uncomfortable. They made her fill her heart in joy with so many ways though... well, at least this one.

Her eyes finally moved towards him again, now staring with confidence. She had to give this male a try. "Um... W-what are you known as....your name?" she stumbled on her words.
Stupid dog, he probably knows what that meant. Oh my gosh what do I do? Shift closer to him... tell him about my life? Just wait....
Her thoughts stumbled away and she gulped with embarrassment, as if he could hear what she was thinking. She swallowed once more. She was so shy.... but no longer lost...

She could still hear the gulls squawking like crazy, she could now hear the mournful owl cooing and she could feel her heart beat per second, as the wind howled sending an shiver down her spine. It blew the grass, the trees, the bushes and even made the waves crash loudly. It almost touched Akira's paws. She did not mind, though her nervousness sent a reason to be so afraid... so unexperinced... especially of night. She whined softly. She never wanted to stay any closer to the dog, but her paws drew her to him.

[Guest]

A smile turned up the corners of his lips. He could see the laughter in her eyes and the shyness that was common in females on her face. Scent her fur and smelling the streets and other things on it he shifted away slightly to give her space. She was wary and tense about something, and he thumped his tail to assure her that all was well. His eyes still had a hint of coldness in their depths..but that was common for one that had lived on the streets...Trust few...follow the laws of the street.

He remained rigid until she spoke again, her stumbling voice making his ears flick back a little. Why was she nervous? The street toughed him and caused a roughness that wasn't common for his nature. Had this been a different time and place he would have adored her with kind words meant to ease one into a conversation...but that wasn't him now...All that was gone..

Burnt up in the flames that destroyed his life...

Turning his head to gaze into her bright eyes he said roughly but not harshly, "Rester..." Narrowing his gaze he spoke again with a hint of softness entering his tone, "What is a pretty lady such as yourself doing way out here?" Her name circled in his head and he found himself wanting to try it on his tongue. Shifting one brown paw deeper into the still warm sand he shivered when the wind blew and tilted a square muzzle skyward....

It was going to be another long night...but perhaps a less cold one..

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Akira nodded starting to find inrest in his name. His name rung like the smell of food. "I like you name," she said smiling. Now, her eyes were never leaving his. It was very nice. Nothing like she ever heard before. So.... unqiue.

"What is a pretty lady such as yourself doning out here?" Once she heard this she tensed up a bit. Did he think she didn't have the guts to be a stray? She tried staying as calm as she could without going over-board... she then swallowed her madness down her throat. "I'm a stray, I live here, I don't stay in the woods or junk-yard like the others," she murmured softly with a hint of sneering in her voice.

It almost struck midnight and the wind grew colder. Akira tried to ignore this feeling.... she should be wrapped in that abounded nest over at the side of the bush. But she didn't move. She just sat there with the water creeping under her paws. She was not raised rude she was raised to listen.

Her eyes closed once in a while would close, or she would yawn. Then she would think of a sleeping animal and almost fall asleep, but those stupid flash-backs kept filling her up with another part of energy every single time. It hurt her.
Why can't humans let us be free, she thought. Why?

[Guest]

A smile crossed his muzzle..he couldn't help himself..it was rare to find politeness among the condemned ones. His family had given him that name and it was the only one he had known...his mother and father...no...Pushing memories aside he focused on her once again and tilted his muzzle toward her as she spoke again. He caught the tone of her voice quickly and he lifted his chocolate eyes to hers in response. In truth he hadn't thought of her as weak...to live on the streets meant you had to be strong. But that wasn't the intention his question had meant. He was a fan of ladies and was only trying to be polite...well...as polite as he could be in this situation.

A softness entered his eyes as Rester responded, "I don't blame you..." He turned his gaze back to the ocean before adding gently, "This place is very lovely..." Lovely....his pose relaxed..she seemed like such a nice girl..how did she end up on the streets? Did she to despise the humans? Just thinking of the two legged creatures brought a snarl to his muzzle and a glare in his eyes. Eyes closed for a mere second then he opened them again and glanced at her with a side look, "I'm rather hungry...a hunt perhaps?" He never knew were his meal would be coming from..but up on the hill coming down to the beach there were trashcans.....perhaps some treasure would be waiting for them inside.

His mouth watered a little as he glanced at the woods in the distance. He had tried to hunt once...it had ended rather badly...a sprained leg and wounded pride had left him cold and hungry that day.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

A smile suddenly came across Akira's face and amusment of laughter came in her eyes when she saw his mouth water, and his eyes following the distance towards the woods. The woods? Who would wanna go in that dump, when there's a late night stand for the couples?

She sat there with a sigh and shook her head with a small chuckle. "Trust me, you do not wanna try to hunt, again or if you never did, don't even try... there's a place, that I know..." she murmured softly, thinking about the great food they had there... Hot dogs, chips, pizza... and the best of all, chicken. She loved that fresh meat they had there.
Sometimes if they were lucky, there would be some spilled bevrages... like pepsi, sprite, maybe water...

The daze went away and her eyes moved away from him.... not to be rude she wanted to know if this dog was really a dare devil... she looked at him once again. "Did you ever try a ferris wheel? Or ate from a stand..." she asked quickly... so many questions stood in her head but she decided to say so many at a time... she thought it would be kinda rude to ask some other questions that she had in her head... it did to the others...
but then again, "I don't blame you." sounded like he was a darer... he looked like one, but looking like one doesn't mean he's just trying to..

[Guest]

Eyes shifted and glanced at the she dog as she spoke, Rester remained quiet as she asked her questions. She was right to vote against hunting...he had never tasted rabbit before..a soft sigh escaped his muzzle. But there would be time to hone on his hunting skills later. A smile formed as she spoke of a place for them to find dinner. But even as he smiled the hardness was back in his gaze as he replied, "I haven't ever been on a Ferris Wheel.." Places like that were usually swarmed with humans...oh how he hated them

No he didn't fear them....and sometimes he dreamed in the night about sinking his fangs deep inside one of them. Now that would be a meal worth everything. Rester felt a cruel smile replace the soft one he just had, "Lead the way...though I have to warn you, the humans don't take kindly to my presence." He had been kicked, shot at, almost run over, children hit his pelt with air soft rifles and rocks. He could still feel the sting.

Rester didn't always hate humans...no there was once a time when he loved them more then anyone could believe. He would have given up his life for them. But......shaking his muzzle he tried to soften his features, "I'm open to ideas." After all he was in the presence of a lady..and that didn't happen often at all...in fact he couldn't remember the last time he had spent time with someone other then the rough creatures on the streets.

So putting on a happy face he rose and stood beside her, his tail raised and wagged behind like a flag. Well honed muscles rippled and shifted as he took a few steps forward, his eyes barreled into hers...waiting...always waiting...

[❥ Destiny Styles]

His unexpierence shocked Akira. She looked at her paws and kept herself from barking an amusing laugh. She inhaled deeply before looking back at him. She fell into a more mature expression now. She lifted to her paws and moved in front of him standing and looking into the distance. "Ferris Wheels are so romantic... I've been on one, but it's better to go with someone," she murmured looking back at him with an expression that told him everything.

A mouse scurried from the bushes where Akira usually slept in. When she heard the scurrying, she lost her gaze that held on his and to the mouse. She narrowed her hazel eyes and rolled her eyes in annoyance. Lead the way. It was getting early, she couldn't pull off this romantic thing in morn..
With her tail and head high, she nodded and headed for the place where they usually held fun carnivels at night and the couples would make thereselves out and where the kids laughed and played. She stopped and sat down. "Look," she murmured. "It's beautiful."

People roamed everywhere, but the lights were bright. The ferris wheel was going around again and again. She could hear the loud screams from the pirate ship.. that Akira flattened her ears to try to block out the screams. Kids past by them people laughed and people screamed. Couples were on a bench staring at the night ocean... she could see little ones playing games, getting stuffed animals and toys as rewards. The thing she was trying to foucus on was the stands...

[Guest]

He had been to many different carnivals...in a time when life was sweet and his cares and worries were of that born with the wind. As Rester's chocolate eyes melted in with the bright flashes of yellow and green he felt a sadness enter the pit of his stomach. This was the very reason why he avoided places like this...so many memories. When she spoke he glanced at her but remained fixated on the moving figures and bright lights. His eyes weren't filled with the wonder of puppish joy, but with the dark memories that haunted him with each paw step that drew the loud noises closer. He could feel his muscles tense and fur rise against his will...When Akira stopped her walk he skid to a easy stop beside her and gazed at the turning wheel. Her voice broke through the dark thoughts in his mind and he felt his head turn without control..as she murred he felt his heart skip a beat.

Her form was outlined by the flashing lights, and cast a sharp shadow against the smooth pavement. Softening his gaze he whispered under his breath, "Beautiful...." He agreed it certainly was beautiful...at least the sight before his eyes was anyway.....oh and the lights to. Her eyes were innocent and pure..he felt a strange tingling shoot down his legs and make his paws feel like liquid. Forcing his heated gaze away so she could see he added softly, "So Akira...." that was the first time he had used her name...the taste of it was sweet against his tongue and he felt a lightening of his heart..."What are you in the mood for?" In the distance he could see and smell the warm hotdogs, the endless buckets of popcorn and the sweet smelling cotton candy.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Akira sighed and thought about it for a moment. What am I in a mood for? she asked herself flinching everytime she heard a bad commet about her or someone looked at her.

Beautiful...not as beautiful as we... she thought. She looked at him now, not taking her hazel eyes off of him... what made her like him so much? She just met him. She hesitated for a moment and for a few heartbeats, she did not answer. "Um, let's see... I would love to go for a hot dog." she murmured softly to him before walking over to a stand with the least of the line. "Okay, so this is how you do it," she says softly.

Thinking, and going throughout the mind as she waited for him to join her she thought: How do you deal with a untrusted twoleg without making him/her angry? Do you bark until he gives you that hot dog? Or do you just sit there... The screams of fun inrupted her thoughts and made her flinch quickly...Oh yeah act like your hungry.. she mumbled.

[Guest]

Irritation rose along with his fur as they walked into the crowded carnival....clingy little children pulled at their mothers trying to reach out and grasp a handful of fur. Rester could feel a snarl creep along his back. This was a bad idea....he didn't like humans and definitely didn't want to beg from them. But ohhh...the food....its smell alone overpowered his senses and left him feeling weak and hungry. His mouth was caked with drool and as he opened his jaws to pant lightly, hunger was evident in his eyes. Taking a few steadying breaths he stood beside her and tried to look less like an angry canine....it wasn't working. So he just kinda stood back and let her please them with her charm. She seemed to be good at it....for it wasn't a mere moment later that the fat man behind the counter gazed over at the pair and shot them a gappy grin...In a slurred voice he cooed, "Oh..look who's hungry..."

Tilting his ears back slightly Rester gazed at his companion and refrained from rolling his eyes...this was the bad part of about getting human food...you had to go through the human first. Shifting his attention back to the man he felt his heart race as a hot dog went air-born. The man had tossed a few of the juicy links down at their paws....Lowering his jaws quickly he snatched up a few and glanced at Akira. The warm juicy seeped into his mouth and he had to resist gobbling them up right then and there. The fat man spoke again in his muffled tone, "There you are my pretty's...enjoy." His tail remained high in the air and didn't wag in thanks as it should have...he would never thank them...anything that happened...any random acts of kindness were owed to him.........

[Guest]

You lose muse?

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Akira picked up the hot dog, and turned towards Rester with her tail high.
"You learn THAT from the pro!" she barked a chuckle. "Enjoyed?" she asked leaning down to gobble up the hot dog. The sweet juicy meat touched the roof of herr mouth and her taste buds, swirled.
She licked her large toungh over her chops... then sat there panting.

So Akira what's next? Aha!
She thought it right away, the thought struck her quickly. She smiled as she thought about the great plan she just came with, and headed toward a huge lake.

All fours jumped on the bench and looked at the shinning lake. She could see ducks quaking... her eyes gleamed into the shinning lake. One disturbed her... Quack, Quack.... she could see that he was far away from his family, he looked so scared. "Poor guy..." she murmured at the thought of being the same little ugly duckling. She lowered her eyes not able to look, thought peep holes through her heart saw it. She lifted her head again, this time, she saw a older one swim across to the baby, they quacked for a moment then paddled across the lake to the other ducklings.
So that's the story, one ugly duckling is left alone. Throughout the cold without a warm mate to cuddle around her at night, not even a friend.

She sighed, and jumped down from the bench padding over to the her brown, labbed friend. She smiled and sighed trying to keep from tears straining from her face. "The place I wanted to go to was a little conjested... so, what now?" she asked her soft, sad expression meeting his own gaze.

Note: Hey sorry... I'm gonna be replying more often now... I cannot keep you waiting.
