=== THE FULL INTRODUCTION ===
==== Chapter 1 ====
The thunder clashed outside, I heard the sound of rain beating against the roof of the building. I was just a puppy at the time, sitting in a box, alone. I tried to stay warm with the old, dirty blanket that was kept inside that box. Loud whimpers came from me every day, trying to catch someones attention, however, they failed. I slid underneath the blanket, trying to stay warm, all I could hear was the constant noise of loud barking. My mother passed away a month after I was born. All I could remember about her was the warm, soft fur she had.
That night, I covered my large ears with my paws, trying to block out the noise. I quickly fell asleep like I have been for the past 7 months of my life.
The next morning I awoke, I felt my box moving. I looked up, seeing that I was being carried away. I barked at the person, only to be ignored. It put me down turning it over so I could walk out. I saw other puppies your age, playing, knocking each other over. I ran to them joining them in their play.
6 Months Later
I was now a young adult, I didn't play fight with the other dogs anymore. I was lapping up water from the dirty water bowl that day, which I figured was normal. A person came up to my with two things in its hands. It opened the gate, wrapping something around my snout, a muzzle. It put a chain around my neck, it was attached to a long rope. It pulled me out of the fenced in area, shutting the gate behind me.The collar strained my neck uncomfortably. I planted my paws in the ground, making it hard for it to pull me. Shaking my neck, I attempted to pull the rope out of its hands. Suddenly, I felt a sharp poke in my side, my paws instantly released their stiffness. Within seconds I began to stumble, then I fell. Soon, my vision faded from a blur to black. I got shot with a tranquilizer dart. 
I woke up feeling very numb. I glanced behind myself, at first I thought my tail was gone. Only to notice that it was bobbed off and there was only a stump left. There was nothing around me, just bars and a dim light. I thought my life was nothing now. 
==== Chapter 2 ====
I laid on the cold ground, thinking that my life was ruined. Suddenly, I heard loud barking and talking outside. I stood, ears perked. All of a sudden, a bell rang, the wall opened, revealing a large arena. I saw a large Doberman in the cage across from me. I stepped backward, however, there was no way to escape. The bell rang once again, the bars in front of both of us opened.
He ran at me faster than I could think, sinking his teeth into my neck. He pulled me out, thrashing me until I fell on the floor. He was much larger and older than me. I didn't know what was going on, I was practically a pup still. I could feel the blood ooze down my forehead onto my nose.
I was now on the ground, probably in shock from the immense pain that somehow I couldn't feel. He stood there, barking at me viciously. I looked down, there was blood-covered fur next to me. I figured it was mine. The last sight I saw before blacking out was him launching for me, picking me up briefly by the neck and smashing me into the wall. 
When I awoke, all I could see were blurs. I saw two people placing a muzzle on the Doberman and attaching a chain to his spiked collar and attempting to pull him away. I laid there, I thought they would lose their grip and he would kill me for sure. How could playing with those other pups turn to this? What ever happened.. I wanted to know the answers. Another person looked at me, my eyes were now closed. I heard it call "She's a goner." I couldn't understand it. They picked me up, put me in a crate, and carried me away. I was loaded onto a truck and driven away. I was sitting in my own blood at this point, probably slowly bleeding to death. They dropped me in the forest, opened the crate door then left. I stayed there, I felt lost, broken, hurt and abandoned. The life I once knew, was gone.. 
Chapter 3
I was then lying under a tree, probably still bleeding, I didn't bother to check. At that point, I was just waiting to pass out from bloodloss. I then heard a rustle in a bush nearby. I felt so weak. All I could move were my ears to listen.
"Whatever is there is going to finish me off..." I thought 
"Hey there.." A soft voice came from behind me, he came up next to me and sat down. It was a border collie, from what I could see it looked like he didn't have his left eye. 
"Hey kid, are you okay..?" As if it wasn't obvious that I wasn't. My head soon dropped as I was finally passing out. 
"Kid!?" He somehow picked me up and threw me on his back. I don't remember much after that. When I finally woke up I was in a dark cave. I was surrounded by other canines. I didn't bother to worry, at that point, I figured I was just going to die. 
"She's awake!" I heard one shout. "Here, eat this." Another one nudged be a large chunk of a deer leg. I guess they must've been alarmed when I didn't react. I could hear them mumbling to each other; 
"It's going to take a while for her to fully recover." "If she ever does.." added another canine. I looked slightly at my rear legs, I could see that they were wrapped with something, but I could see the blood soaking through it. "You're gonna be fine.." I could hear the same border collie whisper into my ear. I was slowly starting to feel the pain again. 
I constantly whimpered day and night, I wasn't eating much and began to become very thin. That day I was actually fully awake and sat up, however, I slouched. "Hey! Look who's feeling better." The border collie walked in grinning. I looked at him so pathetically, I only wish I could 'feel' better. "I never fully introduced myself, name's Ky. I'm the one who found you in the forest. If you ask me, I saved your life." He felt very proud of himself. "Thank you.." I muttered very quietly, I knew he could hear me. 
"Now that you know my name, what's yours?" I didn't want to look like an idiot so I didn't answer. The truth was, I didn't know my name. "Cat got your tongue?" I sighed and finally answered, "I.. I don't know my name." To my surprise, he didn't look shocked. "Well, you're gonna need a name. How about Timber?" Honestly, I could've cared less about what my name was going to be. "Sure... I guess"
Chapter 4
I was now feeling much better than I was before, however I still had some fur missing in some places. Not to mention how many scars I have..
Today was the day I was going to look out of this den.. I didn't know what to expect. Was I to go find a new home? Or maybe live a loner life? I was very confused. Ky came up to me, I could tell he was very excited. "Hey kid, guess what." I tilted my head, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be excited or not. "Well, the alpha has requested for me to ask you a special question." He paused, "Would you like to join The Shattered? That's the name of the pack." I looked astonished. I didn't know a thing about being in a pack, not to mention with wolves, too. What if I completely embarrass myself? 
I finally made up my mind, I had nowhere else to go.. So I nodded. His ears perked, "Great!" he exclaimed. I'll go tell her right now. He soon rushed out of the den. I was alone now, I'm guessing the wolf who was helping me had to go do something. I stood, still wobbley on my legs. It then hit me, that simple nod was going to change my life forever. I walked deeper into the den, there were plants and herbs inside little rock crevices, there were leaves in piles on the ground. There was even a small pool of water.
Ky came back in the den, "Come! She wants to see you" I started walking toward him, then I stumbled on my paws. He rushed over to me and helped me stand. "Here, you can lean on me." I was very grateful for Ky. 
Slowly we walked out of the den, I looked around. I saw wolves and dogs together, walking about. Some even had missing limbs, tails, and ears. We made it to a large stone platform with another cave behind it. We entered the cave, I saw a large dog, she also seemed to be part wolf. 
"So, you're Timber." She spoke softly to me.
