There were five completely different pups in a box at the side of a road with a paper on it that said 'free pups'. Nobody was standing near them, so they were by themselves, free for anyone to pick up and take. Each pups was healthy. Calypso was a Saint Bernard / German Shepherd mix, Spirited a pure Border collie, Dazzler a Border collie / Timber wolf / Saint Bernard mix, Jade a pure Bernese Mountain dog, and Java a pure Boxer. Each were held in the cardboard box as they all slept in a small pile at the far left corner. They couldn't wait to get their own humans. They figured it would be great, no matter if they were just pets, guard dogs or whatever else there was. They didn't know about the pit, obviously, so they figured they wouldn't have any worries. They still slept, their small boding curled up and their eyes completely shut. They never really knew there was such thing as 'freedom'.

Alpha vix loped in looking for nothing in particular. Her sences became more alert when she smelt pups, and lately she had been searching for more to bring to her packlands. Even though she knew in a fight they would be taken as leverage if there was to many. Striding over to the box she looked down at them just laying there, helpless and alone. Looking about she saw no humans or any dog that would be considered a parent. Moveing so her head was over the box she lowered her maw and picked up Dazzler and put her down on the ground then Jade. She looked at them as she placed them on the ground. Then picked them both up and loped back to her packlands.

A border collie fem padded over to the box curiosuly and sniffed it and then looked inside to see the pups.She tilted her dial and gave a yip to see if they would wake.She sat on her haunchs and waited.

The other two pups were taken and they were half asleep as they were carried away by the wolf. But Calypso, Spirited, and Java woke up once they noticed the Border collie. Calypso watched the fem curiously before yipping to her. The other two pups slowly sat and watched.

Her tail wagged happily."you three come on you can come live with me and my pack"SHe barked soon picking up spirited.She started padding away back to white. She stoped and looked back to see if the last two would follow.

The man was going to release one of his fighters, Salukie, in the wild soon for training. He needed a 'playmate' of sorts for her youngster, Salsa. Spotting the box of pups, he walked curiously over, peering down at the remaining three... er, two, now that one was being carried away. Althoug he didn't want the collie anyway. He looked from the mountian dog to the shepherd mix. Well, he heard about that one fighter... the one that crazy man Ethan had, which was part bernard. Reaching down, he grabbed the youngster by the scruff of the neck and picked him up. A gave a wary glance around, making sure no one was looking, even though the pups were free. Then he headed away, going to the Ashen Domes.

Java watched as all of his friends were taken away. He started yipping and rolling around in the box, but soon found himself in dreamland once again.
