Short Story (Extra #2 600/600)
Wind whipped through Psychosis's thick purple mane,
blocking his vision as rain fell pounding down on the earth,
lightning tore up the sky. Suddenly the sound of a large crack sent the purple and tan Viscet jumping forward,
a tree came crashing down, the smell of burning wood suddenly mixing with the rain,
heat rose into the air warming the male from the cold rain.
The rain did little to stop the sudden burst of flame catching the trees on fire,
it spread like a virus, sending Psychosis in a frenzy to move. Psychosis was on his own little adventure,
getting away from the herd of other Viscets that lived around his area, normally he was ignored,
except by his few friends but he liked his alone time and it was better to go someplace new rather
than hide in his house all day, away from people, isolated.Orbz gave a little gurgle,
warning Psychosis of the burning branch that was about to fall, despite his efforts,
Psychosis wasn't fast enough, the large branch fell, landing straight on his tail, on Orbz.
Orbz let out another gurgle, more urgent, and louder, Psychosis hissed in pain,
as he felt the burning heat eat away at his tail, his friend. Orbz cried louder,
gaining the attention of an unwanted guest, a stranger, not far from the fire,
embers flying into the air because of the strong wind. A wolf,
obsidian black with piercing red eyes poked his head through the trees,
he had heard the cry, Psychosis had his eyes on the wolf,
sending him into more panic as he struggled to get the large and heavy branch off.
Psychosis still stayed quiet, despite the pain he was in, he expected the wolf to kill him,
or watch him burn. Black smoke rose around the wolf's paws as he moved towards Psychosis,
who now had tears streaming down his cheeks as he fought the urge to scream.
C'mon! Move! Please! Get off!Psychosis still struggled with the branch,
it was far too heavy to move, the wolf grew closer, and grabbed the end of the stick the fire had yet reached,
with the help of Psychosis's struggling, the wolf was able to move the stick,
throwing it off for it to fall into a puddle,
dousing the continuous flames. The fire caused by the lightning strike grew closer and closer,
the black wolf suddenly yelled. "Run!" He barked, trotting ahead.
He expects me to follow him? What? So he can attack me when I'm weak?
Psychosis wasn't dumb, he turned, ready to trot off and away from this stranger,
but the fire built almost like a wall, he had no choice, he turned,
and ran after the wolf, he would just be prepared.
They ran away from the flames, until they came to a small den. The wolf introduced himself as Venix,
Psychosis didn't reply, just a nod, the brute didn't press the issue. Venix fixed up Orbz,
bandaging him and giving Psychosis herbs, the brute made a few comments about his tail,
but he was pretty much quiet as well, Psychosis wanted to leave, but he was far too weak,
he ended up dozing off in the strangers den, only to wake up the next morning,Venix was gone,
a rabbit sat in front of Psychosis, he didn't touch it, concerned it was poisoned.
The silence continued on for a few days, Venix trying to make conversation,
almost breaking through to him,
but today, was different. A drawing of Venix was laid in front of him,
scribbled across the top was, 'Psychosis'.
