I
peeked out of an alley and reached for my bag of toys on instinct alone. I
cringed. We can't fight The Monster like
this.
The
small, intermixed community sprawled out just beyond the shadows. Unlike most
all animal communities, the buildings and residences were well constructed. It
almost looked as if a human had built them. Just beyond earshot, I could hear
the cackling sounds of merchants hocking their wares.
Is that meat I smell? After shaking off
my desires, I turned back to the group. "We need to get our paws on some
new toys."
Ren
stood on his hind legs and patted at his fur. "I didn't think we would
need money on this errand."
I
groaned.
While
Cody sniffed at the air, he shook his head. "I spent the last of my money
for this month, on a turkey."
Dogs truly don't care what they hump-- I
bit off the racist thought before it came to words. "Then what should we
do?" Mom always buys my toys, so I
don't have a single yen.
Cody
shrugged. "Maybe someone would let us borrow some of their toys."
"Barking
dogs!" Hissing, Ren pushed past Cody. "Unlike your magic, ours
destroys the toy."
"Oh."
Cody brushed his tongue across his teeth.
There has to be a way. After rubbing my
paw on the hard concrete, I followed Ren into the town.
