Hello, I found an old story of mine lost forever in my untitled documents and with a whole bunch of editing I've decided to re-upload it. I like supernatural and apocalypses so I present my story. :)

Mesu Okami

Chapter 1 - Irritating Pain

Clementine's black lips started to part, lifting up into a ferocious snarl. Between her two front paws was an open can of beans. Across from her was another snarling animal, but unlike Clementine, it wasn't a supernatural. Her eyes were like golden fire, alight and glowing and her thick black fur spiked up around her body making her look larger and definitely more intimidating - you didn't want to mess with something like her.

The thin dog before her had a blue collar and its ears were flat against its head, its short hair stuck to its body like glue. Foamy saliva was dripping from its mouth in creamy slathers and when it barked bubbling bullets of saliva flew in all different directions. Although the dog was a large breed it was no match for Clementine, she was almost four times its size, the height of a full grown man, if not a little taller.

Clementine's sharp nails dug into the ground, feeling the earth beneath her, it was cold and moist. Due to the fact that it had been raining for the past few days, things were more slippery than normal so she had to be careful.

The raging dog leaped at Clementine, locking its teeth in the thick fur of her neck. Clementine's fur was so thick that the dog could only bite down on her hair and could not reach her skin. She shook the animal off her neck, the dog sliding on its stomach through the mud.

Clementine lunged herself forwards while it was down, snapping at the dog's head, her teeth locked around its ear and the animal shrieked out in pain as she ripped it off, tearing it to ribbons. It stood up and jumped back in surprise.

She almost felt bad for it, well, that was a lie, she did feel bad for it, she knew it had no chance and she would leave it if she could but it wouldn't back down. He was challenging her, she tried to talk to him but he ignored her.

The skinny dog lifted its front paw and tried to wipe its foot over its head, trying to stop the irritating pain of his missing ear. Blood now dripped down its head, between its eyes and off its nose. It stopped growling and started snapping at the air in vicious barks, Clementine knew it would attract walkers.

Clementine lifted her head and checked the area for the dead, she could see lazy walking silhouettes in the distance. While distracted the dog snapped its teeth at her right paw, its sharp teeth digging into her skin down the bone. Clementine stood up, propelling herself off her back legs and the dogs teeth came loose, falling to the ground. It struggled to get up, slipping over in the mud again and again. Clementine came back onto her four feet, she pushed her uninjured paw onto the dog's spine, forcing it to the ground. She heard bones break and a yelp of complete agony.

There's one bad thing about having a supernatural power like Clementine's, sometimes it takes over in the heat of the moment and she can't stop it.

Clementine lifted her paw off the dogs ribs and it squirmed around like a fish out of the water, she lowered her teeth to the animal, her breath heavy and hot, her lips dripping with saliva.

"Sorry."

With a quick movement, she dug her teeth into the top of its neck, tearing outwards in a painful, forceful tug.

The dog cried out and its head snapped backward, its teeth trying to dig into her skin. Clementine stepped back, it took a few seconds until the dog could no longer stand or breathe. Finally, the dog did let go and his movements came to an end in a long lasting whimper.

Clementine's pink tongue flicked out, licking her lips as the dog's blood filled her mouth and ran down her throat. It tasted good then, later it would make her sick.

Slowly she sat down, her vision coming closer to the floor as she shrunk back to her normal self. Her paws extended outwards turning to fingers and toes and her fur turned into nothingness, her nose went back to normal and she was a human again. Well almost, she liked to hide her ears under her hat.

Clementine quickly stood up, picking up the can of beans and putting it into her backpack. She scrunched her nose up and cringed as she looked down where the dog had bitten her. A large wound ran down her forearm, flesh exposed and teeth marks punctured along her skin. She rolled down her sleeve over the wound, her eyebrows creasing together in pain. There was no point in limping around if she could not be able to run properly, so two legs it was.

Clementine started to wonder off, she could feel her wolf ears twitching and listening for sound under her hat but she was too tired to care. She needed shelter or just a place where she could heal.

The girl sighed to herself, if only Christa were here. She could just turn into her Raven self and fly high to find a place for her to rest, but she was swallowed by those dreadful purple flames by those bandits, anger stirred in her just thinking about them.

Clementine sighed, trying to take her mind off it.

Most people had supernatural powers, simple things like floating and walking up walls existed, there were rare types and not so rare types, the most common being able to float. Clementine knew hers was not extremely rare but it certainly was not common. Especially these days. Clementine remembers reading that her power is Mesu Okami. Mesu Okami is being able to morph into a wolf, but not just any old wolf. A wolf God of a sorts. Five times the size of a regular wolf and 10 times as stronger. She can communicate with other dogs and dog relatives like coyotes and foxes. Her howl can pierce the eardrum and leave fatal and permanent damage to a person's hearing, and can hypnotize any dog near to become a weapon of sorts. There is still more she doesn't know about her ability, most people go through life not knowing the full extent of their abilities.

Clementine's mind started to shut down, as did her vision as she felt her eyes rolling to the back of her head. Clementine's head in general just felt heavy, like someone had hung weight around her shoulders. Clementine's mouth stretched open exposing her side k9's and she let out a yawn, feeling her muscles growing weak she let herself collapse and she curled up into a ball.

Clementine's own whines woke her up, she had a bad habit of switching between wolf and person when she slept, she got quite immersed in her dreams. Clementine opened up her eyes and changed back to human, her hands were heavy and sore and her nails and face were caked with blood and dirt. But from what her ears told her she had to get up and fast.

She turned left and saw a walker stumbling her way, two more coming from different directions. God, they're ugly, she thought as she looked to the one whose lips were rotted away. Clementine picked her weight up and stumbled forwards, her legs shaking trying to support herself.

Little did Clementine realize how slow she was walking, she was too weak to try and do anything. All color had been drained from her eyes and her muscles felt as if they had wasted away into nothing and she was relying on her bones by themselves to carry her.

Clementine turned around to check her safety and the dead man's body came crashing down onto her. She flipped her body around so she was on her back and she pushed her arms against the walkers chest. Its teeth came closer, gnashing towards her face, she could see her hands changing into paws, and her lips started to grow into a snarl but she didn't have enough energy for the full transformation.

Suddenly an unexpected liquid squirted onto her face and she opened her eyes to no longer see a snapping head, just a neck. Her eyes were starting to close again, but she managed to push the body off her, allowing her lungs to fully expand. She tried to keep her eyes open but her vision foggy. So she saw almost nothing and decided to just shut her eyes instead.

"Grab 'er! Let's go!"

Clementine felt two hands wrap under her body as she was hoisted into the air.

"C'mon kid, we gotta get!" The voice encouraged but she couldn't move, relying on the man himself to carry her.

Thanks for reading, lemme know if I should upload more. :)
