87-b

Prologue

_______________
It's been fifty years since the world ended and people moved underground. Only humans were effected by the world ending sickness. There's a cure now but back then there wasn't. The remaining humans brought all the animals they could down into their underground bunker. It's huge, or so I've heard, spanning 24,000 miles on each floor and there's thirteenth floors, all have huge ceiling that are supposed to resemble the sky. The floors are connected by multiple elevators.

The first floor is for the organization, aka the new government. The second floor is for buying things. The third is for school, old people homes, and pet stores. Floors four to five is for people to live in, this includes parks, pet hospitals, houses and, apartments. Floors six to thirteen is for wild animals, think giant animal reserve. But back to the organization. It trains dogs to keep the people in the cities in line. They turn some of us into monsters. I don't know exactly how they turn some into monsters but I have heard what others say. Others say that the organization uses a strand of the world ending virus mixed with other animals DNA and sometimes they put DNA in the wrong places so that limbs grow where they shouldn't. Wolf dog hybrids don't get changed into monsters since the organization thinks wolves are already powerful enough and people weren't able to bring many wolves with them. I'm a wolf-dog. 87% wolf. My father was the only other 87% wolf dog. He was 87-A while I'm 87-B.

My roommate was taken this morning for experimenting. He might be ok, I hope..... I love him and don't want to loose him. When the organization turns them into monsters, the monsters loose their morals and will only respond to the organization. If they completely turn him into a monster, I'll have lost the love of my life. He'll be used to scare the remaining humans into obeying all the horrid laws that the organization made.

The room that us dogs are kept in are small and should only fit one dog but two or three are shoved into one of these standard kennals. Each one is a concrete box with a metal door and a huge viewing window next to the door. Those who serve well will be placed in a private, deluxe room with painted walls, toys, a carpet, a bed or couch to sleep on, food and water dish, and the ability to come and go as they please. The standard kennel, which is what I'm in, only has a old rusty water bowl that has to be shared, and food that's only enough for one is thrown on the ground. We're supposed to fight for it but me and 84-A aka Keeva are mates.

We share but ever since they started taking Keeva for experiments and training, he's been eating in the training room and refusing to eat "garbage" but he let's me eat it. The old blanket that covers part of the floor, the old but not rusty water dish, we share it all. Once he started getting training we got new things, like the old blanket and the old stuffed bear. Me being part wolf got us a old but not rusty water dish. We also get a trey with food on it, instead of the food being thrown on the ground. Small upgrades that I'm grateful for. The grandfather clock in the hallway chimes eight times. Feeding time. Still no Keeva. I walk to the back and stand on the old blanket. A guard wearing armer walks in and gives me food. It is actual meat and not that stupid processed kibble. Your mate is gone and he's been good so you get meet and once he comes back you will both continue to eat this says the guard. It's a robot, you can tell my the mechanical voice. I growl and it leaves. Once the door lock clicks

I walk over and begin to eat. People walk past my kennel. I eat faster when the thought of my mother pops into my head. She was completely dog, after I was born, they took her. They made her into a monster and she tried to kill me. I hate remembering her. I haven't seen her in years. What if Keeva doesn't want to share food with me anymore, now that it isn't disgusting. What if he's mad that I didn't fight harder to stop him from being taken. What if he.... stops being my mate. I eat faster and lay me ears back. If he's normal when he comes back, see how far I can push things, if he's a monster, make sure not to make him mad at me.  No food left, I ate too fast. I walk over to the blanket and lay down and put my tail over my nose. I close my eyes and let myself sleep.
