She watched; she had been for the last few hours. Her eyes roamed her surroundings, waiting for a sign of life other than the sharp, pungent odour where the territory was clearly defined by another.
A new family.
She slowly wagged her tail, inwardly pleased. But her expression remained vacant, guarded. The time for celebration may never come, if she will not be accepted. Her tail stopped.
It was dark, and from a distance, one would have only catch a glimpse of her eyes first. The rest of her lanky body is a deep charcoal grey, the only differentiating feature being the remarkable burn scar marring what could have been a beautiful face and body. Spreading from the corner of her eye to her thin, almost skeletal shoulder, the twisted flesh revealed showed a window into her troubled, chaotic past. Vanity had long since left her, as did reason.
But she learned her lesson. She could not forget so easily the price she paid for disrespecting her betters.
The hours passed slowly, and at long last she decided to test the waters. A sweet, pleading howl escaped her jaws, calling to whomever was close enough to hear.
She would be a good girl from now on. She had no other choice. And it would be so nice to belong somewhere again...
