Hello everyone. I'm back with a new chapter... Enjoy!

His eyes fluttered open. He was in so much pain, as if he had just fell from the sky. He managed to push himself to his feet. Beneath him he could see the dark black path. Around him was red water. For a moment, he weakly wondered where he was. Suddenly, he heard skittering. He looked up and saw these… creatures rushing towards him. Some were small, like cockroaches, while the others were larger, the shape of blocks. Fear flooded his whole being, but he was unaware why. He turned away from the creatures and ran. Lasers dogged him at every step. All he knew was that he had to get away. He had to get away before these things killed him.

He dodged and weaved, but the beasts wouldn't leave him alone. Up ahead on the path, he saw a large white tower jutting into the sky. If only he could reach there…

He neared the tower, but discovered to his horror that there was no door. Great, he thought. So either I can die by laser blast or knock myself out on that thing. He looked back at the monsters. They were gaining on him. Well, he thought with a sigh, here goes nothing. Without a second thought, he charged at the dark base of the tower. The monsters skidded to a halt behind him. He laughed, only to realize that he couldn't stop. He screamed, closing his eyes as he hit the tower.

To his surprise, he didn't feel the impact of the cold wall. The boy stumbled to a halt and opened his eyes. To his surprise, he was in the middle of the tower. He turned and looked at the walls. Strange white boxes full of numbers and words floated up the walls at a sickening pace. It made him dizzy just to look at it. Shaking his head, he looked down at the floor. There were white rings on the floor, two of them, and a dot that he stood on. The symbol it made was familiar to him although he didn't know why.

As he looked around, his head began to swim. Unable to stand any longer, the boy fell to the cold floor, lying on his side. As his vision faded, he looked at his hand.

"What a nice paw..." He whispered to no one in particular as he blacked out.

Well, that was a very very short chapter... I'll make up for it in the next chapter, which'll be up in just a little bit. By the way, how did you like this chapter? Message me with your thoughts, please!
