Word Count → 800. 7 points :: Table ©Raze. I apologize for the first paragraph.. It seems a little.. Mixed up, or something. Idk. Strange. Don't feel any need to compete with the large word count. Really didn't think it would turn out this long!
Bambi had never seen a collection of buildings quite like this. They came in various sorts and sizes- The taller ones reached up high- Higher then she thought possible to go without collapsing. She hasn't been a fan of heights herself, "Why would someone want to sleep so close to the sky?" It was almost impossible for the Aussie to wrap her head around the idea of creatures, even humans, wanting to use buildings for anything OTHER then sleep. The humans had inhabited this Earth far to long ago for her to have much information on them.. Especially since she had lived a pretty 'sheltered' life. Ever since she left the womb her master had been trying to brainwash her in to thinking different things. Luckily, her mother had used the short amount of time she had with her daughter to teach her different ways of viewing the world.. Consequently leaving her, to this day, more open minded.
Her blue eyes were now focused more on the road ahead then the buildings that surrounded her. She had almost tripped a few times over the cracked pavements, and was now determined to be more careful. Land that was once finely paved over by inches of concrete was now reclaiming its' place. It seemed eager to once again reveal itself to the sun, and even the weeds that would normally be viewed as unattractive looked hopeful. Halifax, a city that had once been completely tamed by hairless beings, was now turning back into a feral landscape. It was hard for Bambi to picture the buildings that had not gave in vanishing.. They seemed unbreakable in comparison to the simple homes that were built by wolves nowadays. "But if nature has the same affect on these structures as it has on the pavement, they should tumble eventually." It was a strange thought. "Something THAT large falling down.." She wondered if the ground would shake- Or if she was sleeping at the time- If it would wake her up. "Guess we'll see someday."
She wandered around for what seemed like hours- Walking in and out of old buildings and studying things that had been left behind. This abandoned land was laid out before her, and she couldn't help but be curious about it. She entered what looked like an old market, tip-toeing around to avoid getting glass in her paw. A large sack rested against the wall at the back of the store, untouched compared to the rest of the place. Bambi advanced towards the aged bag, cocking her head in a curious manner as she wondered what it may have been used for. She heard a soft meowing sound coming from behind her, "What do you have there girl?" Her companion asked. The dog raised and lowered her shoulders once, unfamiliar herself with what she was dealing with. The splash coloured canine bent down, lifting the bag and shaking it to get rid of the glass and dust that had gathered on top of it. It was in good condition considering the state of the things around it.. "Just.. Take it. We'll go look for some things to put in it." Bambi nodded, then left to follow the cat out of the store.
The next place they entered looked to be a home. The two took off in two different directions; the cat heading towards the old kitchen area, and the dog heading up the ancient stair case. She walked carefully up the steps, testing each one before putting her entire weight on it. When she reached the next floor she turned to the left, trotting into one of the rooms. It had a lovely bureau, complete with a pretty little mirror. In her mind she could picture the room all fixed up, nicely decorated and good enough to be inhabited once again. She maneuvered across the floor skillfully, trying to avoid any weak spots in it. Bambi pulled on the small knob, opening one of the draws to the bureau. Inside she found a variety of small trinkets- Before she could decide which of them to grab, she heard Nana yowling in pain from downstairs. She scooped all the old jewelry into her hand, then plopped it into the sack. She then turned her gaze to the candles that sat on top of the desk- Another yowl came from downstairs. She grabbed a load of the candles, pushing them off the desk and into the sack.
Bambi darted down the stairs, ignoring the warning squeaks it made. She headed towards the kitchen area- Where she was faced with an injured Nana. Her leg was twisted in an odd postition.. One that didn't really look like it should be put in. Bambi got down on her knees, letting out a long, loud whine.
