The boundless energy of puppies always came to a temporary end when they slept. Vermillion was no exception; as any puppy did, she loved to sleep, to dream. It was exciting in a different way. It was warm, comfortable, and she never had to worry about scolding in her dreams. Nightmares had been rare for the happy child; her mother was quite strict, yes, but she did not fear her. There was little fear in the heart of the Massacre child.

Eventually, though, the sun or her mother or one of the jackals she had been spending so much time with would rouse her from her pleasant slumber. With a sad whine, she would open her quickly darkening eyes, the blue color of her first weeks nearly completely gone from her pupils. She would see through crimson now, and few could question her lineage; Vermillion was a true child of Inferni.

As she stretched and rolled, finally coming to consciousness as the day broke outside of her mother's cave, she realized that she was alone. Short fluffy limbs lengthened as far as they could in front and behind of her as she let the ground of the cave touch her rounded puppy belly. With a fierce yawn for such a small one, she rose finally, clambering with awkward steps outside of her cave home. The sun was bright, even this early, as she blinked hard as she emerged. Frowning, she sat outside of the cave and studied her familiar surroundings. Everything was in place, except for her family. Where was mother, and brother?

Milly's stomach was rumbling already, but there was little to be done about it without an adult in sight. Frustrated, she let out another whine and a few small yips before taking a few more steps out from the threshold of their home.

Immediately, something distracted her; a small movement caught her reddening eyes and she sprinted sloppily towards it, just barely catching sight of the small reptile's yellow-spotted back before she pounced. A cloud of dirt flew up and surrounded her head as she landed with a thud. She could feel as the moist skin of the animal slipped right through her sensitive paw pads, rightfully fearful for it's life. Wide eyes watched with a growl as it disappeared into the brush, and her eyes averted to her paws. A broad grin appeared instantly as she discovered she had not lost completely after all. The dark-skinned tail of the creature had come straight off under the weight of her small paws, and it lay there wriggling and near-lifeless as she stared, amazed. She gave it a strong swat, but the tail alone made no more moves to escape. Happy with the result, she stood and batted the small bit of flesh about, unperturbed by the dust and dirt now covering the slimy skin of the severed tail. She didn't need her mother or her brother; she had a fun toy now!
