: : S T O R M : : ~ Hurricane Survival RP (Open and Accepting!)

[rainbow lion]

Recently the first storms had hit and nearly crushed the otter under a tree. The next waves of the hurricane began to come forth. As more rain poured each second the wind blew fiercer. Soon her tree's branches were smacking Fara's face. She couldn't bear it anymore so crawling out of the tree she leaped across a forest trail and into some bushes. The trees were dancing so intensively it seemed they were alive. The storm began to concern her.

((Hehe thankies))

Grantaire lay at the back of the large kennel he was shoved in. He'd only been at the shelter for a day or so. He curled up in the corner, letting out a huff. It had been a few hours since the humans had examined him and dubbed him 'un-adoptable' due to the aggressiveness he displayed towards them. The decision had been made to humanely euthanize him, and it all boiled down to how long it would take to prepare the shot. However, the approaching storm had quickly distracted the workers from any work-related activities. They were busy bustling back and forth, patching windows with wooden boards and bracing the kennels with iron to help keep the dogs inside of them safe.

    Grantaire raised his head, glaring over his shoulder at the humans he watched just outside his kennel dashing back and forth frantically. Cocking his head, he was unsure of what was going on due to not being outside in a while to see the oncoming storm. Rising to his paws, he paced over to the chain link kennel door. "Hey-" He barked at the shepherd mix in the cage across the aisle from his. "What's going on?" He asked. The mutt across the way flattened her ears. "A huge storm's coming, from what I've heard." She replied with an anxious whine. "A stor-" Before Grantaire could finish his word, an oak tree ripped from the ground came crashing through the roof nearby, sending a rain of brick and cement blocks down on the insides of the shelter. The rubble immediately buried the mutt across from him. The enormous hole it had left in the roof made the outside visible: a black sky and pouring rain that instantly began to soak the floors and kennels of the exposed shelter. The wind whipped violently, and Grantaire could see other debris flying around outside.

    Clambering backwards in shock, his eyes widened in fear. I've gotta get outta here! He thought frantically to himself. Seeing no other option, he lunged his broad frame at the bars before him, ramming into the kennel door with his chest to no avail. The cage was lined with iron by the humans previously to keep it from buckling in case of a cave-in. "Dammit!" Grantaire snarled, getting back to his feet and throwing himself at the bar again, growing desperate for freedom as the storm got worse.

Xachi jerked awake, trembling as she heard the vicious wind whip through the air. A blast of dirt came at her as she shield herself, tucking herself deeper into the ground. Maybe I should dig deeper... Deciding not to take any chances, Xachi turned her back towards the wind, feeling a little rain as it touched her back, soaking into her fur. Closing her eyes, the sow tried to block out the sounds of the storm, but she was too frightened to do anything else but listen. The howling of the wind made her think of her family, and she wondered if they were being hit by the storm as well. A trickle of coldness crept up her spine as the cold rain hit harder against her back. Her eyes widened as she heard the faint sound of a tree groaning and she nearly jumped in surprise as a crash rang overheard. The area around her suddenly grew dark, and she turned to see that the tree had fallen in front of her sett, blocking the entrance. Xachi was a little grateful that the wind and rain couldn't get her as much, but she realized that she could be trapped in here if she didn't do anything about. Deciding to think about a plan after the storm had passed, the badger turned and curled up again, keeping her senses alert as she rested.

The shepherd husky cross flattened his ears, staring fearfully up at the gaping hole in the roof that revealed a churning sky. The wind had quickly begun to pick up, and the raging surf not too far off was overly audible. Whining in desperation, Grantaire flung himself at the iron bars again, only to collapse in a heap after they held fast. "I'm gonna die in here!" He snarled, backing up and preparing for another lunge. All of a sudden, there was a loud clap of thunder and another terrifying snapping sound. Another tree came crashing through the roof- this time, right above Grantaire's kennel. The trunk landed with a clang on top of the metal cage. The cage roof buckled with a sickening creek. The brute stumbled backwards, cowering with his hindquarters pressed up against the door. The cage roof bent at the middle until the sides of it popped from their hinges. An opening! Grantaire wriggled his nose through the small crack at the roof of the cage, pushing with all his weight until it bent up more and allowed a slim space to squeeze his frame through.

((Imma add another charrie. c: ))

       

Name: Nineveh (Nin-uh-vuh)

Species: African Painted Dog

Age: 2

Appearance:

Crush: None

Mate: Nope

Pups: Nopers.

Personality: Nineveh is friendly and brave, a skilled hunter despite the fact that he was raised in captivity. He has an odd attatchment to humans, and is very protective of those close to him. He tends to have mood swings and can snap into an aggressive attitude quickly. He's outgoing, but weary of strangers especially while under stress. He will do anything at all to help someone in need, even if that someone is a complete stranger.

History: As a pup, he was purchased by a private owner near the Mississippi River. The human, a middle aged woman, was an exotic pet enthusiast, also owning a Bengal Tiger. He was raised from puphood inside the woman's small house until he was a one year old, when he was moved to a small outdoor enclosure.

Woot! ^^))

     Fara felt the bush beginning to be pulled out of the ground. She dived out of it as a nearby tree crushed it. The river otter leaped back towards the river in attempt to ride out the storm in the water. To her dismay, the river was now a chaos of waves thrashing at each other. A few sticks flew into her face as she dived into the churning waters. Rain was pouring heavily and the Mississippi was starting to overflow.

[OreoHeroz]

Xachi let out a snarl as sudden water splashed into her sett, shallow water starting to form. I have to get out of here! Panicking, the badger began to crawl out towards the hole, feeling the cold water lap at her paws. I'll die in here... Shaking her head, Xachi reached the top, feeling the trunk of tree brushing against her head. Frustrated, Xachi began to glance around, feeling for any gaps that she could possibly slip through. Her heart pounded as she felt a gap between the hole and the tree, and she immediately scurried towards there. Squeezing through the gap, she felt the rain pour down even harder on her face, and the wind howling stronger against her. Gasping, the badger popped out of her sett, feeling frightened as she scurried along the ground. Her eyes widened as she spotted trees bending over due to the wind, and a gasp escaped her mouth as she noticed that the Mississippi River was overflowing. Through the mid of the storm, a figure could be seen diving into the river. Thinking it was a stick, she removed her gaze from it and glanced around. A sudden groan made her glance up, and her eyes widened again to see a large tree bending down from the rain and wind. Having no choice but to jump, the badger aimed for a log, which was thrashing in the waves. Lunging for it, the badger clawed on, winching as she heard the familiar thud of the tree falling. Gasping, she held her breath as she noticed a large wave closing in. Bracing herself, she ducked her head as the wave splashed over her, sending the log down into the water. Unable to cling on any longer, the badger was forced to swim. (Yes badgers can swim, just to let you know x3)

     The otter's gaze looked over to see a dark flicker. It was a tree falling down at the edge of the river. A figure started to move away from it. Diving underwater she sped for it. It was much bigger than her and had huge claws. Swimming up to it she watched it swim, the mud washing off it's fur. Fara dived under it and started to push up on the other creature as more waves thrashed. One went over her and the other animal's head. Swinging her tail the hardest she could she pushed back up to the surface.

[OreoHeroz]

Xachi let out another snarl as she felt something supporting her. Thinking it was en enemy, the badger turned and swiped her paws underwater, trying to grasp at the creature. But as she tried to group for it, a large wave crashed overheard, sending both Xachi and the creature underwater. Paws flailing, the badger pushed back to the surface, holding her breath as she crashed through. Gasping for air, the sow turned away from the creature, trying to flee from it, thinking it would harm her. Another wave thrashed around her, and the more she struggled the more she went underwater. A soft sigh escaped her mouth as she suddenly stopped struggling, closing her eyes as she waited for the creature to consume her. Although she thought it was strange for a creature to be eating at a time like this, she was grateful that it could end her misery at this moment.

     Fara let out a cry are it's claws scored across her back. Suddenly the other creature was swept off her paws. Diving to it again she grasped it in her paws the best she could. It was limp now. Attempting to swim back to the surface the animal acted like a weight, pulling them both down. Gritting her teeth she used all the power her tail and her hind paws could give her she almost made it to the surface with the large beast.
