NAME GIVEN BY HER FIRST OWNER: Inter Tunicam Sanguine

Inter growled to the sky, as big menacing black clouds rolled across the sun. She put one paw in front of the other. Kicking up specks of dust from the arid ground. She relished the smell of the grass under her paws, even if the grass was springy and dry. She was used to the ground of her den, where she was trapped each day and night, today she had been let out.

Inter’s eyes swept across the dying vegetation, and to the rain that had just started to come down. Pattering harder and harder by the second, making her fur sodden. Inter looked to the sky again as thunder cracked in her ears, making them ring.
She crouched low to the ground, her belly fur starting to be caked in sticky mud.
“My first time out and I have to deal with this” she grumbled. Inter would never admit it, but she was terrified.
A streak of lightning split the black sky, she kept even lower. Her face splattered with mud, her fur!
Inter roared at the clouds, her throat stinging. She started running.
Being pent up all day and night in a ‘trophy room’ made her not very agile, and that point was proven as she slipped and slid over the muddy terrain.
Jumping a sodden log she slipped and crashed into the ground; her legs flailing as her cheek hit the ground.
Blood splattered into her eyes; all she could see was vermillion, feel the stinging pain in her cheek and paw. The thunder and lightning screaming in her ears, the mud coating her body; the rain pelting on the ground.
“Help me!” She screamed
