(Ahaa I've been wanting to write a story for so long. ;-; I never knew how to, though. Anyways, this story is based off my main feline or canine characters. So there are no humans, anthros, etc. Also, I have the cover for this story on my DeviantArt (peridotandlapis1114) so if you want to check it out, go ahead. Anyways, here's a description of the main character;
Twitch, a thin blue-ish cat with one wing. Very strong forepaws and has a red collar around his neck, along with gloves over his paws. His eyes are turquoise, and the tip of his tail is green.
(*Isn't good at describing things* Anyway, let's just get on with the story.)
Rain poured from the sky, and thunder boomed in the distance. Twitch, a blue-ish tom, sat next to an empty garbage bin. His fur was soaked and dirty, and he smelled like rotten food. He stood up, unfolding his wing and cleared his throat.
"Hey, uh, Jocab! I was uh.. Wondering if you could um... L-let me in..?" Puffing out his chest, he added; "I kinda wanted to talk about, uh.. Y-y'know, the.. 'Incident'.." He started walking around the grass, stomping in puddles.
"I.. I'm sorry for what I did, and-" Suddenly, he let out a yowl of alarm as his arms slid out from under him.
He landed face-first into the mud. Letting out a hiss of annoyance, he pulled his face out from the mud. "Damnit.."
His fur was completely covered in mud now, his whiskers dripping with water. He trotted back to the garbage bin and shook out his coat. He crawled under the bin, curling up into a small wet ball. I has been raining for days...He though, tucking his paws under him. Hmm.. Must be a cold font or whatever.. He sighed and curled up for sleep.
{Meanwhile..}
Two figures trudged through the forest, one was a large gray tom with Galaxy hair. The other was a small light gray puppy, brown due to the mud. Both of them seemed to be looking for something.
The puppy grumbled. "Galaxy, do you think we'll find anyone..?"
Galaxy, the gray tom, nodded. "I'm positive." He replied. "He have to find all the people in the area and get them to safety before the rain gets worse."
"Yeah, but what's the point? Most of them have already died of cough or starvation, probably." The puppy argued. He trotted straight into a puddle that went up to his belly. Galaxy's short tail wagged against the rain. We've already found 2, and there are only a few more left. Don't worry." Galaxy gripped the puppy's scruff and pulled him out of the puddle, almost with no effort.
Pebble shook his coat out and grinned. "Thanks."
Galaxy just nodded and trudged on. Eventually, they came across a large garbage bin. Pebble walked up to it and hopped up onto the lid, creating a loud thud. Pebble looked around at the empty field around them.
Galaxy looked at the garbage bin, confused. "What's an empty garbage bin doing in the middle of a field?" He asked, walking in front of it. Rain was still pouring, making a loud 'tip tap' on the top of the bin. "I dunno, but I've never seen anything so big!" Pebble exclaimed. Galaxy rolled his eyes. "That's just because you're small, so this thing seems big. But to me it's just an average everyday garbage bin.
Pebble bounced up and down once more, then jumped down to Galaxy's side. "Should we keep going?" Pebble asked.
"Of course."
Suddenly, Pebble's tail shot straight up. "I smell something.." He growled and trudged to the bottom of the bin, sniffing it. "I think it's coming from under there."
"You sure it's not just trash?" Galaxy asked, then walked to the bottom of the bin. He sniffed it carefully, a foul scent flooded his nose. There was definitely something under there.
"You're right, Pebble." He said, unsheathing his claws and digging under the bin. Pebble bent down and looked under, seeing a blue-ish fox. "A survivor!" He exclaimed, crawling under the bin and nudging the fox. "Hello?"
The fox's ears twitched, and he looked at Pebble with fear clouding his gaze. Pebble seemed to notice and calmed him. "H-hey! Don't worry, I'm here to help you. Follow me, and we can take you to a shelter." Pebble squeezed out from under the bin.
The fox flattened his ears and crawled out after him. "We..?- oh.." His gaze stopped at Galaxy, and he seemed frightened at how abnormally big the cat was. "I'm sorry if I am to frighten you," Galaxy apologized. "I know my size can be a bit... Overwhelming... at times.. But I am here to help, not harm."
Twitch's whiskers twitched and he slumped backward, onto his hind legs. "So... uh.. you two are..?"
"Pebble!"
"Galaxy."
"Oh, well I'm Twitch.." He said uneasily.
"Now, if you're ready to go, we can be on our way and take you to the shelter." Galaxy said, his ears pricked. It was extremely cold outside, and the rain was still coming down hard. "I-I guess so." Twitch sighed.
"Then follow us." Galaxy started walking back towards the forest, struggling to keep his paws from slipping. Pebble followed beside Twitch and they all walked into the dark forest. Moss covered the trees, and there was a strong scent of squirrel in the brambles. Twitch looked around, the scents filling his nose. Pebble jumped up and down excitedly. "Only a few more left~" He hummed.
Twitch looked at him. "W-what do you mean by that?"
Pebble opened his mouth to speak, but Galaxy spoke first. "There's going to be a flood, and we're trying to save everyone in the area."
"Oh.. Well how many are left..?" Twitch asked.
"About...uh... 4, I think." Galaxy replied, still walking ahead.
Twitch nodded and continues following, Pebble by his side.
