I was wandering through the alleyways of Chicago when I heard it.
A high pitched noise.
I winced Damn it, I thought, why the hell did I have to be so sensitive?
It was probably only a car alram anyway. I sighed I hated the city. All the noise and people made me nervous. Unfortunatly I was stuck in this hellhole for the time being. Until I killed It anyway. The last one of Its kind, besides me. Only I could know what would happen if I let It run wild all over Chicago.
I snorted. Chicago would probably look worse then this. I thought as I served my temporary home.
There was trash everywhere, mice and cats hid in the cracks, bugs blanketed the ground. And the smell! Holy Lord, I barley ever breath when I'm here.
But the allys, like my own secert tunnels, were home...and hardly anyone that was worth something ever came here. A definate plus.
I stopped in front of a door at the end of the ally I had been walking. I wonder what could be back here? This was the worst part of town. Gangs, dealers, prostitutes, and criminals walked freely in the streets. So I guess it probably wasn't that important. Even so there was a lock on the door. There was no locks anywhere. None that hadn't been broken anyway. So I was curious. I had to see what was inside.
But as I was reaching forward to crush it in my hand...
There it was again! That high pitched screech!
Now that I listened carefully to it there was no doubt that it wasn't a car alarm.
I shook my head. Trying to stop my ears from ringing. Trying to be able to consentrate on the noise. To figure out where it came from...
Then there it was again! The high melodic, harsh, earsplitting...LAUGHTER!
My top lip crled back over my perfect white teeth. A growl rising in my chest.
