Ran - Unusual Happenings

6

Having a pile of clothing you move on and see if you can find a shoe shop, as you continue to dig in the rubble you find some bedding and still, seeing only a small hole in the bag you dig a bit deeper when you also find pillows and grin taking a few bits from here and moving on, you find a pile of rubble with no sign and shrug.

As you dig a tremor goes through the ground you move away and sit it out used to this now then think back and say "we haven't had a tremor for a good few months? Huh" when it stops you see that it had dislodged the rubble and made it easier to dig going down you look at the hole and hesitate whether to chance it.

Dog noses you and you tie the rope around you and the other end to horse, wearing the bags and taking the baskets, you look and climb down slowly as you reach the bottom you turn on the light and look around you jerk back and gag at your first sight, turning away you look at the rest of the area.

Checking the footing then moving away from that sight, looking around you cant understand what this was and stop then really look at every area, frowning as you move towards the back when you do you raise a brow then laugh "not really my thing, but hey" you grab a few bits then laugh and leave the place.

Climbing out you shake your head to the two and move on to the next area, checking you see one that looks promising and start to dig as you do you hear a familiar noise, staying crouched and gripping your knife you scan the whole area, when you see it and stare.

Swallowing harshly and changing your stance ready for it to attack, watching it's movements seeing it's body lower and the head doing the same you glance at dog who is also ready, they rush to you hold the handle tight, dog goes for their leg as you roll and come up slashing their side.

Ready again as they growl and turn towards dog you rush in and stab, it turns fast and you jump back as dog goes for the throat, you see horse rear up and come down hitting them on the back you scan and rush in stabbing again, they wobble slightly dog goes again as horse smashes a hoof down on their head you see them still.

Vigilant you go over and stab directly into the throat until you see blood leak and move away quickly when they twitch, still alert you move to dog and horse checking them over and hugging them hard as you have small tears in your eyes, watching as they have stilled completely and the blood stops flowing, going over and kicking the body.

Sighing as you grab their leg and move them to the cart "the fur is usable and the meat? Well its meat" hearing a snort from them both you go back to digging in the rubble finding some kitchen ware and utensils you move and dig in that area finding some tubs for food storage grabbing what you can.

Placing the body on the cart you move off back to he caravan, waving when your close and going in you sit down heavily sorting water for you all, the kettle is cleaned and placed on the stove "I need coffee" as you look at the body on the cart, sipping the coffee you look around.

Moving the cart under a tree and throwing the rope over then attaching one end to he back legs of the wolf then pulling it up tying the rope off, huffing and digging a hole you make the incision then skin them moving the fur to one side you remove the internal organs and bury them, standing back you have the buckets then cut the meat off the bone.

Done you place the bones on the cart and move them away from camp then bury them, coming back you see dog eating a huge piece of meat and smile buckets back in the cart along with the fur you go back to camp and clean your self then the fur and hang it up, preserving the meat as you check the clothing.

Taking the best bits for your self and add them to your washing pile, the bedding is put away the kitchen and cookware is washed ready to use, having some of the wolf meat left you scrunch your face and say "it's stew again, sorry" you chop the meat to bite sized pieces then brown adding some onion and garlic powder when you jerk and rush into he van.

Shouting out when you have found it "curry?" you bring out the jar and add that to the meat after removing some for cat and dog then some vegetables added, another pan goes on for rice, once the rice is cooked you place in their bowls then add the meat on top placing it down as you serve yourself and twitch sorting out the herbivores.

Grabbing a bottle of beer you had found somewhere you open it and take a drink then eat the curry and laugh "it's true the spices take away the taste of the meat" and giggle again, food finished you water the plants on the roof and sigh sitting down as you look through the books you managed to save.

Flipping the pages to see if you can find any different preservation methods, as you are running low on sugar and not found any in good shape recently, flipping through and groaning as you tip your head back "drying, or alcohol" you mumble and place the kettle on again to heat the water for a tea and a wash.

Checking the water you sigh "water again kids. I want another barrel, we will look" hearing noises you laugh as they are all nearly asleep, adding more wood to the fire and relaxing back as they snooze.
