Worn (A CS pet story)

[Nonexsitent]

Prologue

Yin padded along the rubble, she glanced at her dusty paws then around at the destruction. Yin hung her head, the world had began to destroy itself. Earthquakes, then tsunamis, hurricanes, more natural disasters hit one after another. The cities destroyed or flooded. People began to turn on friends, family and lovers. Yin saw her mother slaughter her sister with her own paws. Her mother ripped at her sister's fur.

"Why is the world destroying us?" Those were the last words her sister wept after her mother was killed by her father. Yin was the only one left of her family, who else had survived the danger the world was throwing at them, they all had no choice but to hit it head on. Yin looked toward the remains of a tall 'earthquake proof' building. Yin let a tear slide, her friend had been in that building, she waved from the window right before the first earthquake. Yin felt a strange hollowness grow in her stomach.

"Anyone out there?" She called out, her voice strong and smooth, she strained her ears, trying to pick up a reply. None came. Yin felt like curling up, burying herself in an early grave to escape the eye sore sight she once called home. Everyone was dying and everyone was turning she felt her heart ache for her sister, mother and father, Yin couldn't stop the flow of tears as she thought of the pain and hurt they suffered, "Why did I survive?" Yin questioned the air, staring up into the blue sky, for a moment she wished she had wings, to fly above the faded earth, she felt so scared, now the earth was worn.

Chapter 1-Yin

Yin gripped the bat tightly as she swung it into the dogs head again. She gritted her teeth as the aluminium bat rebounded off her attackers head. She saw him fall and stood there panting, her panic slowly decreasing and her adrenaline increasing. She felt her mind awaken and sniffed, Yin began to walk towards the shop. It's door hung off it's hinges, showing signs of forced entry. Yin ignored the danger and walked into the shop, her breath coming out quick and ragged. She was hungry and confused, Yin looked around the shop, she had no idea where she was, the world was unreconisable.

"Hello." She yelled, her voice rebounded off the emptiness of the air and just travelled back, Yin crept over to the bar area and slid over. She began to loot her bag, sweets, crisps, sodas, nuts, she worked quickly and sounlessly as she could. All that could be heard were the rattling of packets.

"Are you one of them?" A voice called out making her jump, Yin spun round. A grey dog stood there, he wore a burgandy scarf.

"No." Yin muttered, her muscles tightened, she readied the bat.

"Wait, I'm Tom." He exclaimed, his paws raised in defense.

"Are you?"

"Am I what?"

"One of them?"

"No." Tom looked at Yin, she relaxed slightly, she nodded. Yin studied the boy's expression, it was unreadable. Tom was as readable as a ink spillage over words. Yin averted her gaze to the bar side, a pint of beer was on the side, it was untouched. She hurried over to it, it was ice cold.

"Someone else here." Yin gushed, she threw him a pool stick. Tom caught it and spun it round like a bo. Yin admired his spin, neat and not to wide. A she-dog walked through the door, a smirk on her face.

"Nice to see Romeo met Juliet." She snarled, Yin gripped the bat. She charged forward and swung the bat. The she-dog jumped aside, Yin smiled as it wacked her shoulder. Yin dropped to the floor as the pool stick was swung wide. It connected to the she-dog's elbow. She howled as she gripped her arm, she glanced from Tom to Yin. Yin could see the anger visable on her face. Then the she-dog charged, Yin grunted as the girl plummeted into her and the bat spun out her grasp.

Tom spun into action, the stick wacked the she-dog in the head, she groaned but slipped her paws round Yin's throat. Yin choked as the grip tightened. Tom swung the pool stick again, it smacked the girl's paw. The she-dog howled and released Yin's throat. Yin pushed her off, she scrambled to her feet, Tom was smacking the girl over and over. She was limp.

"Tom; Tom, she's gone." Yin explained, she walked over and placed her paw on his shoulder. Tom ceased the hitting and looked at her. He sniffed.

"I'm as bad as one of them." Tom muttered, he looked at the body with glazed eyes. Yin shuffled awkwardly. Tom looked at her, "Sorry." He sniffed and hurried out the shop and Yin hurried after him.

Tom was the only animal she'd seen for at least a month, she wasn't going to let him escape that easily.

Chapter 2-Tom

Tom sighed as he heard the girl follow him. She knew his name, surprisingly she hadn't told her's to him. He spun round to face her, her blue eyes widened, she was a black dog with purple patterns on her fur. She smiled at him.

"Tom, you're not as bad as one of them, they don't feel remorse or guilt, we can." She whispered, Tom looked at her and nodded, she was a smart dog.

"Who are you?" He asked, the she-dog's face harded and she looked at him.

"Yin." She muttered, Tom nodded, Yin looked like she was angry, "I saw my mother turn into one of them, she was cooking breakfast the next thing I knew she was charging at me and my sister."

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Tom put his hand on her shoulder, Yin shoved it off and a single tear trickled down her cheek. Tom had given up on tears, the world was a harsh place, it was amazing to see someone else shed them. The tear hit the floor and a single sapling regained life. Tom stared at it in amazement.

"My mother slaughtered my sister, I just ran and hid, watching from the shadows." Yin looked at Tom, several more tears splashed on to the ground, the blades of grass began to sprout out of the dying earth.

"Look." Tom exclaimed, Yin looked towards the ground and smiled, "Your tears made it grow." Yin gasped.

"My tears?" She asked, "I hate what the worlds become..." Tom nodded and awkwardly patted Yin. He nodded.

"What are they?" He asked finally, Yin looked at him, "Why aren't we one of them?"

"We have happy memories, their memories were stripped and replaced. Now they only want to kill, they're angry, bitter, lonely people, there is no cure for them." Yin replied, Tom nodded, a smile formed on his face, Yin was a smart dog. She knew about them, maybe they could help eachother in all this. Yin stood up, she still gripped the bat. Her eyes showed pain and betrayal, "Me and another dog, several months ago, we teamed up, he complained of voices hissing to him, I woke one night to find him stood over me with a shotgun." Tom gulped, voices hissing? Tom nodded and sat down.

"He turned into one of them?" Tom enquired, Yin nodded and for the first time, Tom noticed a tiny patch of fur missing on the outside of her left paw. Yin held her paw out, Tom took it and they both stood.

"I'm going, if you want come." Yin explained kindly as she began to flee in the opposite direction, Tom stood there not sure, then he took off after her. 'They' were heartless creatures with no nice memories, voice spoke to 'them', there was a better chance of survival in numbers, either that or game over.

Chapter 3-Sweetie

Sweetie felt more empty than she did when her nan died, the whole world had began to replace the animals with killers, killers who kill anyone who is not 'one of them'. She has survived so far, but how long till they find her and finish her off? She hurried toward a abandoned school, it's walls were crumbling, she saw the remainding water still sloshing around inside, the flood had tore down everything. She slowed as she reached it and raised her paw to her mouth, the school was full of bodies, several floated near her. They had the look of pure terror etched on their faces, their eyes wide with fright. A rat was watching her from across the room. She cupped her paws into a megaphone.

"Nice work." She called out, it nodded and smiled.

"Thanks, nice to see you admire my work." It chuckled, Sweetie felt her stomach twist, the rat was one of them, better to let it think she was too. She nodded and said her farewell and walked away, she saw a discarded arm impaled on a piece of scaffolding not far away, she avoided it. She saw several owls swooping down clawing at bodies and smirking.

"They don't need these eyes no more." One of them chuckled, Sweetie's stomach churned, she gagged, vomit began to rush up her throat. She forced it back down. Sweetie stuck to the shadows and crept past, a foul auroma of decaying flesh invaded her nostrils. Life was being torn from the Earth and replaced with something far more deadly. Sweetie hurried along, she felt like hurling but it would put her in danger. She saw a young pup sticking out of some rubble, it was dead, it's eyes glazed over and dried tears and blood matted the fur. Sweetie couldn't keep it down no longer, she grabbed a empty beer bottle and let nothingness splash the pavement the owls looked over at her.

"Lookie someone's been on the bottle." A female owl chuckled. Sweetie smiled at them.

"Drinking in honor of my kills." She grinned, the owls nodded in respect and flew over to her.

"Nice, " The female continued, Sweetie smashed the bottle on the rock, "Anyone special?" Sweetie shook her head, and waved goodbye before jogging off, she screamed like a banshee just to make sure they wouldn't follow. She felt tears spring to her eyes. Out of all the places she could've been born, she was born in a city full of people. Now full of killers, you couldn't turn a corner without running into a killer or another body.

Sweetie looked around her, the bulidings were in ruins, rubble littered the floor. Sweetie couldn't cope, she felt tears well in her eyes. For the first time in two months she wept. For her nan, the school kids, the pup and herself. She was the only one alive on this dark and dreary planet and no one wanted to help, they all wanted to kill. Sweetie sniffed, maybe she should end her bitter existence? Easy game over.
