Creeper was born in a genitcs lab where sientists struggle to breed animals with imposible colors. Creeper was the last succesful dog they could create, but they hated Creeper. They belived that his genes created a blockege in the systoms. He was locked away from his mother as a pup and put in a steel room. Every day food would come from a small hole in the wall. It tasted horrible, but it was all he had. Years passed and Creeper was forgotten. One cold morning a new apprenice mistook Creepers food shute for a trash can and poured a syrup down it. To Creepers delight his food tasted better that day then it had for years. It left a warm glow in his stomach. The night, Creeper felt an incistent itching on his back and nose. He reached back with his foot to scratch it away, but to his horror he felt a lare, cold, bony plate slowly pushing up from his fur. Creeper looked down his nose and saw a a pale plate that fainly shimmered in the moon light. Creeper didn't sleep any more that night. The next mornig the same apprenice that had spilled the syrup was instructed to go and clean out the steel chambers. He quickly came to Creeper's cell since all the others were empty. The apprenitce was horrified to see a bright orange and white dog, bristling with spikes leap at him. However, Creeper was over joyed. He hadn't seen a human in years! Happily, he licked the apprentice's face. The apprentice, named Deril, was relived to find that Creeper wasn't sucking his brains and struggled to push the heavy dog off of himself. Pulling himself in a sitting position Deril spoke softly to Creeper "How long have you been down here boy?" Creeper barked a loud bark that sounded like the freshness of morning dew combined with pure energy. In other words it was a magical sound that refreshed the mind and soul. The apprentice blinked, suprised. Somehow the dog's thoughts had flown trough his mind in the short instant of that bark. "You want out." he whispered "How long..." Creeper interupted him with a whimper. Time was ticking, Deril should have returned to the sientests by now. Deril quickly jumped up "Cm'on boy, lets get out of here!" he ran down the corridor with Creeper yipping at his heals. The soothing voice of Creeper made Deril feel as if he was flying. At the end of the corridor a large metal door sealed the exit. "Here you go!" Deril exclamed an gave the door a yank. It didn't budge, but a soft alarm could be heard upstairs and the flurry of feet. "Oh, no." Deril stood horrified, rooted to the spot. If they saw him now he would loose his job he had spent two years struggling to find, what would he do when he lost it? Tears welled in his eyes. He'd loose it all. Suddenly Creeper barked. Deril looked up with filled eyes to see the dog standing over a small open door in the floor. Deril's tears turned joyus as he quickly slitered down the shaft with the dog. Turns out it was an air vent. Cold, dusty drafts buffeted the pair as they heard the stomping of feet above their heads.
