Apocalypse of the Rats

∆ Prologue ∆

"Find anything yet? "
"No- nothing."
I reply with a huff. I'm close to the ground, looking for possible food such as mushrooms or scraps. Sadly I find not a sliver of food where I look.
I wonder if we'd even find food today,  I think to myself as I keep searching,

"Harrison! Get over here- you need to see this!"
My comrad shouts in my direction. I shoot up and scamper towards Zero, a Lizard who happened to join sides with my kind that of the rats.
We keep a close eye on him, fearing he might be a spy. But as of now I trust him 100%.
As I near him, a foul stench kicks in,
Its burns my nostrils. Making me wince in discomfort
  "Zero, what is that GOD awful smell-"

As I walk forward I realize what the smell is,
What lies in front of me is a rotting corpse. Of a large dog, mastiff most likely
"I think we should go-"

Zero says, nervously backing away from the rotting dog I agree, we both start to quietly walk away, not but a second later we hear a growl.
A low one. But a definite baddie,
You see, here we could be killed by a cockroach if it wanted too. But whatever this was, it was big. Dangerous. And wanted us dead.

  Zero grabs my paw and starts running, we hear loud thumping behind us. Its giving chase
"SCREEEEEAAAAACH", it made a awful sound, that hurt my ears. I looked to Zero, hoping he'd have some sort of marvelous plan to save us both from this, this thing. Which now that I think about it, I was to scared to look at.
Zero shoots a look at me, and gives a scared look
"KEEP GOING, EVEN IF I STOP KEEP GOING! THE RATS WONT TRUST ME WITH THIS NEW INFO, YOU NEED TO SHARE IT TO THEM"
Zero shouts as he throws me ahead of him, I don't even look back. I just run, as fast as my paws can carry me. As far as they can carry me.
