The Alpha League [ Completed ]

Chapter: 2

"Dammit! I don't know where I am and the stupid phone won't work." I say aloud throwing it across the room. "Michael, where am I?"

"heya kid, i saw ya walkin down the street." A voice says and I turn around on alert. He sounded like he didn't mean any harm, but here, I couldn't trust anyone easily.

"Stay back, I don't know who you are or what you want." I say backing against the wall.

"that's not how ya greet a new friend." He says, his footsteps grow louder and I make my way to the window. I jump out of it and land on the ground feeling little pain thanks to the adrenaline. I immediately get up and run with all my speed until I come to a stop near a creak. I get a drink of water and began to rest and ended up falling asleep. I woke up in the middle of night back in the abandoned building, wondering who had brought me here. I took the opportunity to head outside and walk around, but I made sure I was fully covered. I walked through the city that the lights barely illuminated. I saw the tall buildings outline and there was an dock near by as well. I sat on the end of the dock swinging my feet, looking out at the moon. It was pretty, I wish I could enjoy this with Chiller and Reaper. I suddenly hear a noise and turn around, I see glowing eyes coming towards me. It gets closer and I see floating skull heads, they resemble animals. I can deal with one floating bonehead, I did hang around wolves. I get up and start growling at as it draws closer to me it opens it mouth. I lunge at it, grabbing from the sky and rolling on the ground. We began to circle each other and then it got playful, very playful. It ran into me causing me fall over and then proceeded to cuddle my face. I, myself, am wondering how this thing has a tongue and then it barked. It reminded me Chiller and Reaper, which made me kind of sad, I guess it noticed considering it was trying to make me feel better by cuddling with me.

"You're a sweet guy aren't you?" I say and he barks. Then I hear footsteps approaching and I jump back. The floating skull turns around excitedly and from the dark appears a skeleton. He wore a white shirt with black pants, a tie and some suspenders.

"looks like the two of ya get along jus fine." He chuckles coming closer. "ya not runnin away this time?" He adds sitting down next to me.

"Well, he's not reacting to you in any kind of way, so you might be alright." I say looking at him kind of suspiciously.

"that's cuz he's mine. that right there is a gaster blaster." He says. "why don't ya come home with me fuh t'night. i know ya here by ya'self. it's not safe to be here alone." He says getting up and holding his hand out to help me up. I hesitate to take his hand, but I don't have any other options.

"Fine." I say taking his hand and following him back to his place.

"so kid, where didya come from?" He asks me.

"I'd tell you if I could remember." I lie trying to avoid small talk.

"sorry to hear that. do ya remember anything at all? ya seem to have animal like reflexes." He says.

"Well, I was always with a set of animals. Their names were Reaper and Chiller. They taught me a lot of things about survival." I reply. I did spend a lot of time with them. I'd spend days and weeks with them, sometimes the entire Summer with them without going back to the house. My mom would worry and look for me and scold me whenever I came back, but she backed off after a while.

"i see. so that's how ya could run after jumpin outta that window." He says and I instantly stop.

"That was you! How did you find me?" I ask.

"well, i followed ya. it wasn't hard." He replies. "we're here." He says opening the door for me and I walk inside. It seemed very cozy. There was a TV to the left as soon as you walked in followed by a couch in front it and there was a staircase on the far left near the back. He guided me upstairs and into his room where there was a twin sized bed, a dresser, and some papers and books scattered on the floor. "sorry bout the mess, yous can have my bed if ya want."

"I'm fine on the floor." I say walking over to the corner and curling up.

"what's with that robe thing ya wearin?" He questions.

"It's to keep me from getting cold. Good night, skeleton." I say closing my eyes.

"a'ight kid." He says turning off the lights before lying down in the bed.

"Where am I? Why am I here again?" I ask aloud looking around at the scenery of the dark woods. I could hear the growls of the pack of wolves getting closer and closer.

"Come on, Ray, we have to get back to Reaper and Michael." I look at Chiller wondering how he was speaking. "Ray! Let's go!" He yells and I my feet start moving. They gained on us quickly.

"That's right, keep running." I hear the voices behind me. I can't let them get Chiller, I can't let them get to Michael. I turn off the course of the house and Chiller notices.

"Chiller, run! Make sure that note gets to Michael!" I yell running toward the mountains.

"Where are you going little girl, there is no safe place." The voices called.

"Stay away from me!" I say running as hard as I can. I tripped, no something grabbed my ankle and made me fall. I hit the ground hard and they all jumped on me. I could feel my body being torn at by the teeth of the wolves. I called out for help........ but nobody came. I could feel my body shaking.

<Dream/Nightmare>

"Kid." I can hear a voice echoing. "Kid, wake up" I hear and I shoot up breathing hard. "Kid are ya okay?" I feel a hand rubbing my back.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I say resting my head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry." I say climbing out of his lap and back onto the floor.
