"Catch me if you can slowpoke." Dove barked out snagging a piece of meat from a hotdog stand and running off to where Thorn was standing "I got two hot dogs Thorn! " Dove barked excitedly as Thorn picked up the pup by the scruff placing Dove on her back. "Good job pup now let's go." Thorn says dodging one of the many people on the streets "Tyson, Jade, Diamond retreat." Thorn growled out as she manages to get in the sewer with Dove, waiting for the other members.

"Thorn let me off! I can walk on my own!" Dove complained as she didn't like being carried. By the elder, as they continued walking, "I'll let you off once I'm sure we're safe." Thorn informed seriously as she heard the other three animals come to a halt beside her. "Please tell me you got something to eat." Diamond asks Thorn who just nods her head, "Yep thankfully Dove got a few hot dogs for us to split up. Making Diamond nod in satisfaction

"Thorn I'm tired." Tyson whimpers making Thorn roll her eyes lovingly as she crouches down. "Alright Tyce hop on." Thorn said making Tyson smile as he hops on the bigger dog. Before Thorn steadily gets up.

A cold wind blows through the sewage system making all five shiver. "I hate winter." Jade groans as winter was the hardest season for the pack since they all had short fur, and food was near impossible to find food. Don't get any of the pack wrong they love their street life, it could just be hard sometimes. Especially when you go with out food for a few day.

Thorn noticed the two other's of her pack shivering and sighs, "Get under me it's probably warmer there." Thorn instructed as she was the only one who had long fur, and even though it didn't keep her very warm she knew it would keep the others warm.

The two oblige getting underneath Thorn's warmer coat. "Thanks Thorn." the cat and dog said as they continued the walk to their territory. "You know I sometimes think you guys keep me because I am warmer than you are." Thorn joked with a small chuckle, making the other two laugh.

"Well that's one of the reason but your also a a great beta and do great with the youngins'" Jade told the bigger dog. Who nods before hearing Dove speak sassily as ever, "Hey who you calling young." Making the rest of the pack burst into laughter at their youngest member

They eventually made it back to their territory where all five sigh in relief at the familiar sight. "Home sweet home." Jade says sighing happily as Thorn just nodded as she slipped the two younger dogs off her back and went to lie down in her corner Jade and Diamond went over to the dog that was slightly older then Diamond.

"You okay Thorn you seem off..." Jade asked as she had known Thorn since she was forced into this pack, and she which has been eight months, and she didn't act like this often. Thorn just nods, "Yeah I'm fine, just exhausted and hungry is all Dove had me up the whole night last night, and you know we haven't eaten in three days." Thorn told Jade and Diamond who nod as they were feeling the same.

"Yeah I know the feeling I guess being strays isn't a walk in the park is it." Diamond tells the red and black dog who nods their heads before saying in unison, "You're telling us." Soon the two young ones joined them.

"What are you three doing isn't it dinner time?" Tyson questions the three as they quickly get up. "Yep dinner time it is! Dove where'd ya put the food!" Diamond asks the youngest who quickly threw Diamond and Jade the two hot dogs as they split them in to equal pieces.

Soon after dinner it was bed time for the younger pups. Jade started to stand up to put the pups to bed, but both Dove and Tyson quickly shakes their heads as they didn't like Thorn being a mother hen, but they couldn't help, but want her to put them in bed. "No we want Thorn!" Dove barked out as Diamond and Jade groans as they wanted to give Thorn the night off. "Tomorrow night let Thorn rest tonight alright."

But Dove wouldn't budge. "No I want Thorn! I want Thorn! I want Thorn! I want Thorn!!!" The white dog barked out annoyingly and even though it was annoying Tyson had to agree. "Yeah I want Thorn too! Your not good at helping us fall to sleep.

Thorn sighs as she gets up and looks at Jade and Diamond, "You know they're not going to stop until they get what they want right Thorn said cocking her eyebrows and motioning her tail to Dove's and Tyson's sleeping spaces.

Before lying down beside the two youngest member "Alright pups let's hush now. We had a long day today and only the sun knows how long tommorow will be. Any requests. Thorn asked gently as Jade and Diamond just watched her do her magic.

"The lullaby!" And "The lullaby please!" Said Dove and Tyson. Tyson adding please to be polite. Thorn softly smiled at them. "Alright then lie down and I'll sing to you." Thorn instructed the two who quickly did as told wanting to hear the lullaby that Thorn sang for them every night.

"Okay we're lying down please sing now!" Dove barked tiredly yet excitedly making Thorn laugh gently at Dove's impatience, "Hold your horses pup alright you don't even give me time to think." Thorn scolded lightly as Dove finally stops speaking.

After the lullaby Thorn sighs in relief quickly getting up from her spot to talk to Jade and Diamond. "So what's the plan for tommorow! It's that black Friday again and it may be to dangerous for us to even look for food." Thorn asked in concern.

Jade and Diamond sighed they had no ideas so they brushed it off. "We'll talk about it in the morning good night." They both say making Thorn sigh knowing they didn't have a clue, but they were right about one thing. Being free definitely wasn't a walk in the park.
