Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Crescent
Crescent looked around frantically. She was surrounded by nothing but endless pitch black darkness. She had tried walking forward, but had tripped over somting that vanished when she tried to find it again. "Hello?" She tried calling out. "Is anyone there?" The only reply was her own echo firing back at her. "Hello?" She tried again. Suddenly, her ears were filled with the sound of viscious barking. Snarling and growling as a group of somthing rusheed right towards her. She couldn't see them, but she could hear and smell them.
Desperate to get away, Crescent turned tail and raced deeper into the darkeness, but the snarling never seemed to quiet down. She ran along blindly until she slammed head-first into somthing hard and cold.
A wall.
She tried to find a way around it. Over it. Just some way to escape this terrible fate. But there wern't any.
Crescent sighed in defeat and turned around to face whatever it was that would end her. She could see them clearly now, they were the worst animal that she could have hoped for.
German sepherds.
And guess who was leading them.
Rocky.
Crescent crumbled to the ground as she stared unbeleivibly at the gray mutt at the head of the army. She felt tears swell up in her eyes as he stared coldly back at her. A small sund escaped her throat.
"R-rocky?"
There was no reply. Just a couple crazed barks at the shepherds from Rocky. Crescent couldn't take it anymore. She felt hurt and anger bubbling up inside of her. She clenched her teeth before jumped up and let it all out.
"How could you! How could you do this? Why would you do this? I thought you...you. I thought you loved me!"
She screamed, tears pouring down her face.
Rocky looked over to her. His brown eyes staying expressionless for a few moments before they were glaring at her.
"I did love you! I wanted nothing more then to be with you! I gave up being normal for you! I gave up everything for you! And how do you repay me? You run off to some flea-bitten wolf pack and leave me all alone! You abandoned me! That was it Crescent. I did love you. And you betrayed me. So now you must die. I don't care how. I don't care how long it takes. But I will end you. That's a promise."
Crescent stepped back, vigorously shaking her head. "No, no. This isn't right. This can't be happening." She said it over and over to herself, even as Rocky commanded the shepherds to advance. She saw them creeping closer and closer. She knew why they were going so slowly. It was a matter of control. And fear was control. But she was not afraid. She had nearly died once. She wasn't scared of it.
Crescent stopped muttering and stood up, bravely facing her enemy. Fighting wouldn't work, and running was pointless. So she just stood there, holding her head high to make herself a better target. She sent up a small prayer that her end would be swift. And then the army pounced.

Crescent awoke with a start. Fear sweat covered her and there were deep gashes on the tree bark where she had been running in her sleep. She let out a sigh if releif, thankful that it was all just a dream, and dropped out of the tree. She landed on all fours and walked over to her dog bowl filled with water. She bent her muzzle down and lapped up half the water, the other half she used to straiten out her fur. It was sticking up in places and bristling out.
After she was finished grooming herself, Crescent walked back to her tree, eyeing the clawmarks that she had left well sleeping. She stood up on her hind legs and scored her claws over them, leaving new gouges in the bark.
Satisfied, Crescent decided to go for a walk. She didn't know where, and she didn't pitucularly care. She just started to walk and walk. Curious of where she'd end up.
