The Creature
"Mercy? You think I should show you mercy? I don't give a fuck about who you are Balto. I don't fucking care. You have become Steele."
-Alex
This land is cursed. We are all prey. It's out there somewhere. It will hunt us, it will find us, and it will kill us. I don't know where it is. It could be watching me type this right now. We blamed bears, but we should have thought about mythical creatures. Don't laugh; the damn thing is out there. It waits, it plans, it thinks, and it learns. This creature is hunting us. It can sneak up on us when we aren't expecting it. People have reported that they have seen it, but they can't tell me what they've spotted. When I find it, I'll bring it down. Permanently.
"You think you deserve my pity? After what you did? You left me to die out there. You've changed Balto. So fuck you."
-Alex
Prologue
A wolf/ German shepherd mix and a German shepherd are lying on the ground panting. The hybrid turns his head and smiles at the German shepherd.
"I love you Elizabeth."
"I love you too Alex!"
Alex sighs heavily. "Well, that was great!"
Elizabeth raises her head and frowns at Alex.
"Is that all you have to say?"
"No…? I can't wait… for… puppies?"
"Are you uncertain of what I'm going to say or are you asking questions?"
"Uh… I'm not… Yes…?"
"Yes what?"
"Yes… I don't know."
"You know you're ruining any chances of me being your mate right?"
"I can't do this," says Alex and he pushes himself up on his feet.
"Alex, where are you going?"
"Out."
Alex walks over to the door and pushes it open with his nose. He steps outside and closes the door behind him.
Alex is walking through the cold, dry snow. The snow always intrigued him. In the United States, the snow was always wet and mushy. In Alaska, it was dry. Sure it was wet when it melted, but it felt like a powder than anything else.
A loud roar pierces the silent veil.
"What the…?"
Alex's ears rise up and he starts to listen intently. The loud roar echoes off the buildings, but another one erupts again. He listens to it and he pinpoints the sound emanating from the forest.
"Hmm… intriguing. Well… I guess I should figure out what it is then…? Maybe I shouldn't. I don't know."
Alex looks back at the building he came out of. "Elizabeth always told me to be braver. I'll go check it out."
Alex turns around and makes his way towards the forest.
Thirty minutes later, Alex is at the tree line. He puts his snout towards the ground and starts to inhale the scents around him. A bloodcurdling howl sets him upright. He looks to his right and sees two crimson eyes staring at him.
"Oh God," screams Alex before turning tail and running. He runs as fast as he can and when he looks back, he sees it chasing after him.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Alex looks directly ahead of him, but slams right into a tree, releasing a yelp as his front left leg releases a loud crack before he falls to the ground in a haze.
He looks towards where the creature was chasing him and sees that it's right next to him. 'If you're going to kill me, please do it quick.'
The creature leans down and starts to smell him. Alex couldn't do anything for the creature had one of its hand/claw things on him.
"Please… don't… kill me," Alex whimpers out.
The creature lifts one of its hands/claws and touches his broken leg. Alex releases a loud yelp and the creature removes its hand/claw.
Alex whimpers in pain, but becomes worried when the creature picks him up. The creature starts to head into Nome, carrying a terrified Alex.
Fifteen minutes later, the creature enters the town of Nome and starts to sniff the air. Alex is still looking at the thing with interest. It has the face of a humanoid, but it has hair covering its body. It is also really tall. Taller than the average human, if he knew any tall human.
The creature walks in front of where his mate lives and sets him down on the porch. It reaches towards the door and knocks once before running out of town and into the wilderness.
Alex turns his attention to the door and watches it open. He sees Elizabeth's owner, a medium height black man walk out of the house. He looks around the porch trying to see if his mind is playing tricks on him. He shrugs his shoulders before turning around.
As he's about to enter the house, he hears soft whine. "What the hell?"
He turns around and sees something lying on the front porch. "What the hell indeed."
He walks over and sees that it's Alex. "Oh, you poor thing. Don't worry buddy, I'll take care of you."
He slides his arms underneath Alex and slowly picks him up. When Alex was off the ground, he turns around and walks inside.
