{ I } Light tan paws pushed the female on, making her go even though it was hard. She didn't feel able to go on and it was dragging at her very soul. The soft red tinted fur behind her ears were plastered with pus and around her ears was crud from the dirt leaking out mixed with the pus. Once more she was sick and it was due to her ears. The female ducked under a low beam and leaped over an old board that had rusty nails sticking up into the air. The black, red, and tan female moved into the shadows and picked up the pace a little, her head hanging low as she moved towards a ruined building.
{ II } The stone building was almost leveled, but it was getting dark and it was the closest thing to a shelter around. The female went nervously over to a low part of the wall and growled softly to try and give warning to anyone else in the darkness. When her infected ears heard nothing, the female jumped lightly over. Instead of landing lightly, she crumpled to the pain in pain as her cries rose in the air. A rusty nail had gone right through the main paw on her front right paw. She yelped as the female got to her three feet and then lurched forward some into the dark, the nail still in her paw. Blood dripped from the head onto the ground as she moved over to a soot covered blanket.
{ III } Her muzzle dipped low to snatch it up in her mouth and she shook it a few times, yelping every time her hurt paw had to help hold her up. After a few good shakes, the female dragged it back a little ways into a little corner by where she had come in. The wall was halfway down with the roof at a perfect angle to still be held up by the broken wall giving her a shelter and now something other than mud to rest on. After dragging it under the fallen roof, she crawled in and turned around to face the opening and then laid down. Very carefully she began to lick her wound and try to nurse the nail out of her paw. Spring would soon be here, that was at least a good thing. She was getting lightheaded and very tired, but worked on the nail until it came out of her wounded paw. The female laid her head on the blanket, panting and drop dead tired now.
