The Attack

They pounced on us before I had the chance to say "Run!" I turned only to see a Black Dog grab Kathryn by the ankle and drag her into the grass screaming a thrashing around. I knew there wasn't  anything I could do to help her. She was gone. I continued running towards the ruins, with tears streaming down my face and my vision blurred. When we reached the ruins we ducked behind a turned over car. Zeke joined me moments later. “Kathryn?” He said with hope showing in his eyes. I didn’t say anything but looked down shaking my head. I looked back up at Zeke, who had tears threatening to fall. I reached over to hug Zeke, but we were interrupted by the same high-pitched shriek we heard earlier. I got up slowly and raced towards the wall. Only to be thrown to the ground by a Black dog. “Cade!” I heard Zeke yell as he stopped running and turned around. “Go to the gate, get out of here!” I shouted back. “I’ll be fine, just get out of here!”

Zeke hesitated for a moment but soon he was bolting away from me, I knew I wasn’t going to survive this attack. But I didn’t want Zeke to go down the same way I did.

I picked myself up and ran, ducking behind a truck, hearing the Dog’s claws screech off the rusty metal as it followed. I dodged and wove my way through the vehicle-littered street, keeping the cars between myself and pursuing Dog, glancing back to gauge how close it was. It snarled and hissed at me over the vehicles, hollow eyes blazing with madness and hunger, its claws leaving white gashes in the rust.

Dodging behind another car, I gazed around frantically for a weapon. A pipe, a branch I could use as a club, anything. The Black dogs shriek rang out from behind me, horrifyingly near. As I reached down and grabbed a chunk of broken pavement from the curb, I glimpsed a black form in the corner of my eye and turned quickly, swinging with all my might.

The jagged concrete hit the Dog square in the temple as it lunged for me, grasping claws inches from my face. I heard something crack beneath the stone as I knocked the creature aside, smashing it into a door of a car. The Dog collapsed to the pavement, trying to get up, and I brought the stone down again, smashing the back of its skull. Once, twice, and again.

The Dog screamed and twitched, limbs jerking sporadically, before collapsing to the sidewalk. A dark puddle oozed from beneath its head and spread over the street.

Trembling, I dropped the stone and sank into the curb. My hands shook, my knees shook, and my heart was doing its best to hammer its way through my ribs. The Dog looked smaller in death than in real life, all brittle limbs and protruding bones. But its face was as horrible as ever, fangs frozen in a snarl, soulless white eyes staring up at me.

Then a hiss behind me made my heart stop a second time.

I turned slowly as another dog slid out from behind a car, arms and mouth smeared with wet crimson. It clutched a branch in one claw… only the branch had five fingers and the tattered remains of a shirt clung to it. Seeing me, the creature dropped the arm to the pavement and crept forward.

Another Black dog followed. And another leaped to the roof of a car, hissing. I spun and faced two more, sliding from beneath a truck, pale dead eyes fastened on me. Five of them. From all directions. And me, in the centre. Alone.
