New Pet
Dark Side - Phoebe RyanFor someone of your age and stance you were unnaturally skinny. Cracked and bent glasses are what showed you could see from. Your eyes were dark, indicating a dangerous lack of sleep. A chain trailed from your ankle to a pile of cinderblocks. Your clothes were torn and ratty and it was clear something was wrong with you from the proudly worn red dog collar.
You sat down on the ground like an animal, your eyes scanning the area. You hiss upon seeing something move towards you.
"Not now Gerald!" You exclaim in a raspy and broken voice
A zombie peaks out of the woods and looks towards you. You weren't in the mood for his bullshit. Gerald was a dick anyway.
Another sound peaks through the woods and you straighten up looking around suspiciously. It was clear from the scent hitting your nostrils there was a group of survivors.
You straighten and get on all fours, wince it hurt you to stand upright. No, you were not a dog, you were a broken shell of what once was a full sane human, no, you weren't a zombie either.
The sounds grow closer.
"GERALD GET BEHIND ME!" you exclaim
The zombie obeys and creeps over to you, sitting down beside you in an almost broken way. A voice calls out as you prepare for a fight.
"Is someone there?"
A head peaks out of the bushes, revealing a woman. She looked so authoritative from the way she held her gun. Her eyes went wide once she saw you.
"Go away." You say, voice cracking as it always did
"Oh my God," She says
"What? What is it now?" A sarcastic male voice says "Move."
A man with blue skin comes out of the bushes, raising an eyebrow at you and the elderly zombie sitting beside you wearily looking around.
"What in God's name happened to you?" He asks, stepping closer
You glare at him darkly.
"Go the fuck away" You cuss
"Whoa, a fighter eh?" He says in an amused tone
Your eye twitches as he takes one step closer. That was it. It was all you needed. You charge at him, tackling him to the ground. You're about to go for his throat when something stops you. He holds his hand up at you and your body convulses. Gerald weakly gets up and you try to say something but he's shot.
Your body stops as you curl up into a ball and cry. A delicate hand touches your head and you turn over looking up at the blue man.
"There there puppy." He says awkwardly
You awkwardly sit up, despite the clicking of a gun behind you. You don't react, knowing full well who it was, Erin.
"F/n I told you to kill all unwanted company on my property." The deep voice hisses
The end of the gun touches the back of your head and you turn around, weakly staring up at him. The one who'd kept you locked you here for months, the one who'd starved you and turned you into a monster. He was the reason you were like this. A click of multiple guns surrounds you and you look around, now seeing the full group.
"Put the gun down." blue man says sternly
"Why should I-"
"She's a human being that's why! How could you keep someone locked up like that!"
Erin drops the gun, but doesn't know why. Arms wrap around you protectively and you don't even look back to greet the face.
"You should've killed me." You say softly
You charge at the man and go for his throat, but you're stopped once again. You're body is frozen and refuses to move.
"No." Blue guy says "Leave him."
He gestures for someone to walk over. A young boy with black hair and blue eyes walks over to you. He digs his hand into the man's pocket despite his angry protests. He pulls out a key and unlocks your foot chain.
Blue man picks you up and sets you down beside the man who'd held you like that for so long. Your eye twitches as you stare emptily at him. The chain clicks around Erin's ankle and Blue man tries to stand you upright. But you protest and he sets you back down upon you disclosing that it hurts you to walk like that because of how weak your legs are.
You all back away from him. Erin gets up and yells at them as you make your way over to Gerald. You close his eyes and pick him up, hugging him to your chest. You regret calling him a dick.
"You don't deserve to live. Be thankful I'm leaving you here." Blue guy says angrily
"She's my pet! I found her fair and square! She's MINE!"
A hand touches your back and you jump, seeing authority lady staring down at you.
"Was he someone close?" She asks quietly
You nod.
"My best friend." You say weakly "He didn't leave like the other guys. Was just as lonely as I was."
You look up at her.
"You can leave now." You say softly
"Actually, we were wondering if you'd like to join us."
"I guess.." You shrug
"I've always wanted a dog." Blue guy says
You look over at him and see he's about to punch Erin, but the other males in the ground are holding him back.
"Murphy!" Authority lady says
You set Gerald down and creep over to 'Murphy'. You tackle him to the ground with a hug.
"So we have a dog now Warren?" an old guy asks
"DOC!" Warren exclaims
"What?" He asks, raising his hands in the air defensively
