Never Know What You'll Find

Rebel seemed happy enough to agree to Venom’s guidelines before they just stole the puppy away to their home. She grinned happily as Bel wandered off, looking just as much as her mother was. The Empress couldn’t deny how proud she was of the young girl. Venom kept one sunset eye on her daughter and the jackal as she went the opposite side of the banks to look. She didn’t smell anything from this direction, but jackals were sneaky little things.

Venom wandered slowly up the bank, but her attention was swiftly garnered by Rebel’s little nervous voice. Immediately Venom doubled back and found the little pup hanging back, Rebel ahead, looking at something, and the smell of death on the air. Slowly her white gloved paws brought her closer, her gaze falling on the still body that Rebel had found. "I see, sweetheart.” She offered softly, kissing her daughter’s head as she aimed to steer her away from the carnage. "Come on, lets take our new friend home.”
