If You Ain't In It- A Skuma Story (Update For Thanksgiving)

🚁Prologue🚁

Warning: This story will contain sensitive topics such as death, gore, violence, and depression. If you are sensitive to any of this please read with caution.

It was a normal day in Adventure Bay.

The pups were playing ball together in a field near some train tracks. Well, Chase and Everest were off to the side watching as Skye, Rubble, Marshall, Rocky, and Zuma hit the ball back forth between each other.

It was going well until Marshall hit the ball across the train tracks until it stopped right in the middle of the track.

"Aw man! End of game." Marshall whined sadly.

"I'll get it!" Rubble barked as he hurriedly ran onto the train tracks.

"Rubble," Skye began before the Bulldog trotted over to the ball, and picked it up.

"See. Easy." He barked.

Before he could start going back towards the other pups, he tripped, slamming his jaw on the track below, and landing on a back paw.

He yelped loudly, lifting up the paw.

Skye flinched upon seeing it. It was definitely sprained at least.

A loud horn blazed nearby.

"Wubble, dude, get off of the tracks!" Zuma exclaimed.

Rubble attempted to hobble off the tracks, but his leg stopped him from moving fast.

The train was approaching fast.

"Rubble, get out of there!" Everest exclaimed.

"I'm trying!"

Skye's eyes widened in horror as the train approached Rubble closer and closer. It seemed the conductor didn't see Rubble on the track.

"Chase, you're the leader, go help him!" Marshall ordered.

Chase backed away, eyes filled with fear.

"I won't make it in—" Chase began, but a brown pelt whisked past him, running towards Rubble with great speed.

It was Zuma.

Before anyone could call him back or stop him, he was on the track and used his body to throw Rubble off the track.

Before he could jump safely off, the train smacked him.

For a moment everyone just gasped, watching in silence.

Chase's jaw was open. Skye and Everest were both horrified, Skye trying to hold back her tears.

No one can survive a train running them over  like that, Skye thought as she shielded her eyes, laying down. He's dead.

Marshall was frozen, and Rubble was whimpering loudly. Rocky? He was screaming as if it was him who was hit by the train, not Zuma.

The train finally had fully passed their stretch of train track, and the pups approached the piece of track. Everyone except Rubble, who was sadly whimpering. He was shivering violently.

Chase's face contorted with a bunch of emotions before turning to Rubble.

"Fuck you! This is all your fault, you lazy asshole!" Chase roared.

Every pup's eyes widened in shock. Chase never shouted at them.

Skye approached the bloody mess that was Zuma's body.

His eyes were closed, and his head was completely cut off. His paws had a mixture of cuts on them.

He barely was recognizable.

"Chase, this is not the time. Clearly, you are grieving, we all are, but this is not what Zuma would want." Everest barked at him.

Chase turned towards her.

"You will not tell me what to do! I am the leader. Ugh, let's just...get him back home. I can't believe this just happened." Chase grumbled.

There was something in his eyes that shocked Skye. Below the grief, there was regret?

Skye didn't ponder on it, but she was absolutely devastated this has happened to him. It was as if a part of her left with him.

I never got to tell him how I feel. She thought as her heart pained with the feeling of losing the one she loved.

Author's Note: So this is the prologue to my new Skuma story.

Now just a warning there will be a lot of angst in this story as the main ship as you can see...death.

Anyways, this story will be put on hold as I update others and finish some and I'll probably publish some more of these for people to read.

Anyways, I just want to let you know that there in fact will be some really mature things in this story, so please bear that in mind. I don't want people criticizing me, unless it's constructive, about what's in this story, as I think I've warned you plenty about this story. And yes some characters will be out of character because Zuma is dead, and this is how I predict they will react upon his death. Some will be sad, some will be emotionless or appear emotionless, and some will be blaming themselves for this mishap. So yeah.

Anyways here are some random goals that I do not have to reach, but hey it's nice to have goalz.

Read goal: 10

Vote goal: 4

Comment goal: 7

If you enjoyed this let me know, vote, comment, all that stuff from YouTube, and I'll update this when I can get back to it, so please be patient.

I understand waiting's a Poisonous Jab, but I cannot write to everyone's will or in a snap...I do have things like a job that exist and I cannot ignore them....I wish. Lol.

Anyways thanks for reading!
