Free Puppies

[virtue_sisters]

Chastity sighed as she wandered about.  Her sister had told her to stay at home, but she had also said that they couldn't keep all four of her rescued puppies.  At best she could only keep one and so Chastity decided that she had best go out and find homes for the little guys with nice people.  Unfortunately so far no one had accepted her offer of a free puppy despite the adorable brown faces with floppy ears peeking out of the box.

She glanced around again and then at the sky.  It was getting a bit late.  If she didn't head back soon Patience was going to freak out when she arrived to find their place empty, but she didn't want to give up before she found the little ones a place to live.  And so she walked up to another random stranger and tugged on their sleeve to get their attention.

"Would you like a puppy?" She said, holding up the box of squirming puppies.  "They're free to a good home."  She smiled brightly.  "They make really good friends you know."

"Yeah we did. That's what they said in all the files and there wasn't any way to prove otherwise." She nodded solemnly. "They said that they destroyed you. It is possible even if it is difficult. So what were we to think. They threatened the same for Patience because they got afraid of her."

One of the puppies seemed to sense the downward turn of her mood and shifted to face her licking her cheek and looking at her with big soulful eyes that seemed to beg for a smile. It seemed at least this one didn't have any problem with their oddness... She couldn't help but smile back and give the little one a pet. Maybe she'd keep that one.

"But I've been trying aaaaaaaaalllll day." Chastity whined slightly. "I haven't managed to get anyone to give them a home at all and they need one."

Listening to the girl talk brought a smile to Charities face. She had to admit that freedom could be pretty lonely without her siblings. "Well, I suppose we never could trust those people with the truth right?" As a small breeze kicked up she looked up and down the street. "There are barely any people here."

Charity reached out and picked the box up. "We should probably be in a more public area where more people will see them. Where is Patience anyway?" She mused as she began walking off with the box.

She sighed. "I guess so, but it's a good thing this time." A small smile appeared on her face she looked up and down the street mirroring Charity's check a moment before. "Yeah... I thought there would be more."

Chastity stood and stretched. "That sounds like a good idea. um... well..." She shifted nervously, glancing around as if the aforementioned sister might appear at the sound of her name despite prior evidence disproving such a theory. "Patience ... um... went out for a break and then get some food and told me to stay because I picked up the puppies but she said that the needed homes and I thought it would be fast so I headed out to find them homes." She glanced down at the ground. "I was going to tell her when she got back because I'll be home by then... probably."
