Night had fallen in the woods. A pure white dog was rushing through them ignoring the sounds of other barking and sounds of more rusing paws. She had a small pup in her mouth as she kept rushing through the woods never stopping or slowlying down. The dog kept her head down as to make sure the pup wouldn't get injured on their way out of the woods.
Hearing the sounds of water, the dog glanced back before coming to a stop at the edge of a water-fall cliff. The dog bit her lip before taking in a deep breath and letting it out before jumping into the water and falling over the side of the cliff. When she hit the water she tensed up from how cold it was and kept a tighter grip on the pup hoping they both make it through this. She tried to swim towards the waters edge and slowly made her way to land.
After what felt like forever the dog came to on the bank a little ways down the small river at the base of the waterfall. She stood up and weakly walked towards the cover of the trees trying to listen for any other sounds of the rogue dogs that were chasing her. She sighed and fell to the ground again panting. Her eyes were taking in where she had gotten to and saw a big open field surrounded by dense trees. She tilted her head and smiled softly at the sight. The pup in her mouth barked and whined weakly.
"Hang on Jade..." The she-dog weakly said as she got her energy back. She looked around and saw a squirrel not to far away but when she stood up the squirrel rushed off faster then what she was feeling. She licked the pups hed to try to warm her up. "stay with me Jade, we made it. We are safe." She mumbled softly shaking her head when she felt herself start to slip into slumber.
She stood up again and shook out her white pelt that was now covered in dirt and sticks from how fluffy it was. She winced when she saw the bad scratch on her left leeg and limped towards the open field. She fell about ten steps in the pup walked slowly beside her and when she fell the pup cuddled up next to her, "Are we really safe here Poppy?" The white dog glanced up at the moonlight shining on the field brightly like a beacon, in the dog's mind, the moon on this field is her beacon. The Beacon of hope. "Yes JAde... We are safe now." She said with a soft smile.
