Arthur's POV:

After are quick run from town, we decided to drive further away and not stop to rest as the police or whoever could be chasing us, but it left us tired,

Arthur: we've been driving for a while now; shouldn't we stop and rest?

Kelly: yes, that would be a good idea, I haven't eaten anything in a while, and we're low on gas

Arthur: that would be bad, you look tired too

Kelly: so do you, we'll stop at the next gas station and fill up quickly and find a place to rest

Arthur: sounds like a plan

We eventually find a gas station and not a moment to late, the low fuel had been blinking for five minutes now, arriving at the station, I try and stay out of sight and manage the pump while Kelly goes in and grabs a few things, after five minutes Kelly returns with some stuff, including a pretzel shaped in a paw, that she's enjoying with a smile,

Arthur: you look happy

Kelly: yes, I've always wanted one of these but they never sold them in my town

Arthur: don't suppose I can try a piece?

Kelly: nope, sorry, maybe next time

Arthur: oh well, that's ok

We chat for a few minutes more before the pump makes a loud clicking noise meaning that it's finished, getting back in, we head out, this time though, it's ether the long night or we've run out of stuff to talk about but it's silent between us, so I try and break the tension,

Arthur: how are you holding up?

Kelly: honestly, I'm not sure

Arthur: If you want to go back, that's fine, I understand that this might be a bit much for you to handle

Kelly: the thought had crossed my mind, but I couldn't just leave you alone out here, especially since I like you

Arthur: thanks, that means a lot

Kelly: you're welcome, and where would you be without me

Arthur: probably being chas, Look out!

Kelly turns and looks to see a big truck coming right at us and swerves to get out of the way, landing in a ditch, causing me to hit my head on the dashboard hard and back out,

I open my eyes and see my hands, I see the bloody skin through the torn gloves, looking around I see ruble everywhere and bodies, dead bodies everywhere, both human and furry alike, looking to my left I see a tank, probably a Leopard 2, then is hit by something causing it to erupt in flames from the hatches as the crew try to escape, most don't even make it out, looking forward I see a human fighting then turn around and sees me,

???: Frost! Get up, we need to get out of here

Running to me he helps me up but then is shot form behind and falls onto me, pinning me down, then I see a coyote fur vault over the cover, I reach for the fallen soldier's rifle and aim it at the coyote and pull the trigger, emptying the last of the mag into the fur, then toss the gun away and push the dead soldier off me, getting up I look around and see the furry forces defending a position near a building, then retreat as others run out of the building,

Walking to behind the cover next to me I see one of the fur's run out with a spool of wire on its back, and runs behind some cover, then I'm tapped on the shoulder, turning around I see another soldier,

???: Frost, here take this and stay down

He then hands me another rifle, taking it, I then get ready to fight, look back at where I saw those furs run to, I take aim, then a big explosion comes from the building where they ran from, then I feel rumbling,
