Moss trotted back with Shadow and Laika at her tail. They sat down and didn't say a word. The dog looked at them, admiring them closely. Liaka broke the silence with "what do you want?" She tilted her head.
The dog blinked then he chuckled. "I'm offering you to come with me to my group's home." He said warmly. "If you want." Moss's eyes lit up with excitement. The dog's eyes flickered to Moss and then to Heather. Moss wanted to jump up with excitement! A new home! And more dogs!
Shadow nodded "sure"
Heather hesitated them murmured "okay"
Laika looked unsure, then looked at the others "okay, FINE" she said, with a cold tint in her voice.
"YES!" Moss jumped up. Heather's eyes shot at her as she sat down.
"What is.. your name?" Laika asked.
"I am..." the stranger paused, his eyes flickered with memory, sad, sad ones. Finally, he finished "I am Sixtails, you?" Moss paused. "Six..Tails?" She murmured. The dog stood up, revealing 6 tails. And he shrugged "it comes in handy, then, it also gets in the way, but i get used to it"
Moss and her friends introduced themselves And Sixtails got up from where he was standing and finally said "well, let's go, shall we?" Heather, Shadow, Laika and Moss got up.
They walked for a short time and stopped at a tunnel. Two dogs were standing there, a brown one with scars on his lips and one who had pale blue fur with darker patches.
The blue one curled his lip. "Another group of guests, eh" he grumbled. Sixtails rolled his eyes. "Don't get worked up, Frigid" he sighed. "They could help us" as they entered the tunnel, the two dogs followed. Moss turned around, and realized that the brown one hadn't said a word, as if he couldn't. 'Weird' she thought as Sixtails stopped and yelled down the hallway of the tunnel.
"Guests!"
A light brown she dog came running down the hall. The tunnel had holes in the ceiling that allowed light to leak into the tunnels. Then Moss realized something that almost made her heart stop beating. The dog had antenas and a butterfly for one of her eyes, yet she seemed relaxed.
Sixtails looked at Moss and her friends. "This is Moth" he pointed at the light brown labradoodle , then, he pointed at the dark brown labradoodle who didn't say a word "Secret" the dog grumbled, wordless but grumpy. He pointed to the pale blue dog whose breed wasn't recognized mostly because of his unique teal fur."Frigid" more dogs came bounding up to them.
"Who are these?" A white Labrador retriever came up, her tail wagging slowly, excitement beamed in her brown eyes.
"Wings" Sixtails pointed to her. "This is antlers" he said pointing to a german shepherd with antlers sprouting on top of his head. "Sprout" he pointed to a brown lab with plants growing on her back. "Annnnnnnd-"
"GET TO THE POINT, SIXTAILS!" A black dog with scars over half her face curled her lip and growled at him. The dog was a black lab with her one remaining ear covered in scratches. Her eye was still there, but it was pinned shut.
"Dark-Eye" she finished. "Now introduce yourselves!" He looked straight at Moss and her friends, but before they could say a word, a voice rang at the end of the hallway, leading to a room as a dog walked out of it.
"More guests?! I thought we were enough!
"Why hello, Sparrow" Sixtails said, greeting the dog. Sparrow had no thing that made him unique, his grayish black fur was neatly groomed and he had no scars. his eyes were green with a lighter color lightening them up. He looked grumpy yet friendly. "Anyway" Sixtails looked at Moss
"I'm Moss"
"I'm Shadow"
"Heather"
"And i'm Laika"
Sparrow blinked then said "I'm Sparrow" Sixtails interrupted, "Moth, show them their rooms, down the hall" Moth nodded at motioned for them to follow. She was kind and enthusiastic, Moth chattered like a bird at dawn, waking every dog to exist, but Moss felt welcomed by her.
She stopped at a wide tunnel that led to a room, moss coated the entrance, and was scattered throughout the room, two rocks were placed in the corner, they had soft moss that made them comfy.
"That is Sixtail's and Wings' room," Moth said. "Go in there when you are invited only, got it?" Moss nodded, Heather was standing still, but Moss could see that she had so much energy and excitement in her. Moth and them headed down the hallway and stopped at a good sized cave with a boulder blocking it, Moth pushed it to the side and it revealed four nests of Moss and feathers for Moss and her friends.
"Enjoy your stay!" Moth said warmly as she bounded off, leaving them at the den, Moss trotted in, followed by Shadow, Heather and then Laika. She realized that it was just sunrise, but she was exhausted, so she collapsed in her nest and within seconds, sleep arrived.
