heap.

            “Thanks…HEY!” When the dog bent down to pick up the meat, Raven swiped it and scurried out of the freezer. Full of fury, the smaller gray dog sprinted after the black wolf/dog.

            “Jael!” Raven said while still running away from the shop. “Oof.” She hit the ground hard and the meat fell into a snow bank a few feet off, the red dog now stood on top of her snarling.

            “That was mine.” She stepped off Raven and picked up the meat, “Thank you very much.”

            “Pssh fine, take it you’re too weak to get anything by yourself anyway.” Raven said as the female turned her back.

            “Raven we need that meat!” Jael said. “Wait…miss.” He chased after her and stepped directly in front of her path.

            “You can forget about having this.” She said walking around him.

            “Please, we need that for our pack leader,” The gray dog continued walking, “He will kill us.” The female dog stopped and sighed. She dropped the meat and turned around facing the two outsiders.

            “My mother isn’t going to be happy about this but…just take it.” She nudged it away from her paws.

            “Well thank you.” Jael smiled, “I didn’t catch your name, miss.”

            “Riley.” The gray dog said.

            “Riley?” Raven spoke astonished.

            “Yea that’s my name.”
