SURVIVAL-cat novel

Chapter 2

HLitho's heart beat fast. A acidic smell reached her nostrils, making her want to vomit. It smelled like burning flesh. She could feel Belle shaking behind her. People emerged from their homes, disrupted by the loud noise, smell and explosion.

"Go, Belle. Check on your human," Litho barked the order at the she-cat. Belle nodded, and leaped off the fence and into a alleyway, then onto a street.

"It's just as my dream pridicted," Litho breathed. She spread her large wings and lifted into the sky, trying not to gag while flying towards the spot where the explosion occurred. The more she neared, the more people were running. She lowered to the ground (not close enough to touch the ground, just above a humans head), and started hovering. Smoke formed from the fire surrounding a lab. Lab 51. Where dangerous experiments occur. She squinted her eyes toward a few shapes on the other side of the smoke.

Once the shapes were visible, Litho widened her eyes, her pupils going small in fear. Wobbling creatures limped from the smoke. They were pitifully pale, unusual for a human. Some of them were a suffocating blue. They all wore lab coats, and grabbed every human. Litho turned a bit, and watched as one of the pale things bit into a woman's neck, tearing it to shreds. The woman screeched with fear, and collapsed in pain. She squirmed as more pale things came towards her, and started eating her alive.

"N-no..." A minute later, the zombies kept going, attacking everyone. She continued to stare at the woman, who was turning pale, and evilish bags formed under her eyes. After a moment of being motionless, her fingers twitched, and she got up, looking as the lab doctors did, but covered in blood.

Litho swooped around and flew towards where Belle and her human lived, panic swelling in her chest.
