Yay! Another Chapter! Ok I'll settle down now any who The same goes in this story and chapter as id does in the last I do not own Transformers or their characters..Only mine
I mulled over the hard lessons I had learned these passed few months, as the pack settled down around the cave.
No one used fires or furs to keep warm or heat things up, so every one just huddled together.
The alpha male and female((my mother)) curled up in the center, the children next to their parents.
The full moon shown threw the entrance as I felt mother relax behind me Alpha had already fallen asleep a few minutes ago.
Tonight would be perfect for slipping out, the whole pack had gone out hunting that morning and every one was exhausted from the uncooked food. ((gag I just gave mine to the other kids and just ate the fruit.))
Skins and bones lay scattered threw out the cave most of them where pushed back to the sides, after about a half an hour every one was out like a light.
Slowly I eased my self from between Mother and Alpha and tip toed threw the crowd of about 40 people, I froze and hit the floor pretending to be asleep as one of the lower Alpha males moved in his sleep.
After I was sure he had not awoken I got back up and crept towards the exit pausing with hesitation at the thought of Mother striking me.
Fear swept threw me as I realized I was starting to become like the rest of the pack, working on instinct instead of thought.
If I didn't leave now then My humanity was gone for good, And there was no way I was staying with these people I was dirty, I was cold, I was sore, and I wanted out!
That was all it took for me to make up my mind narrowing my eyes I slipped out of the cave and darted threw the shadows.
The music of the night sounded around me as I slipped threw the trees, if I could make it passed the river by sun rise then I would be Scott free for some reason they feared the water.
Energy swept threw me as ran threw the moon light I paused for a moment to gaze at the silver orb in the sky.
The night air carrying the sweet fragrance of the flora around me after about six months surrounded by dirty bodies then you would enjoy the sent the earth, flowers, and grass as well.
Every thing around me hummed with life my eyes became sharper and the shadows not so dark as I hurried threw the forest.
About fifteen minutes later I found the river I had been looking for, the water moved slowly but deeply with out a second thought I dove in swimming towards the other side.
As the water removed the dirt and grim from my hair and body I stopped swimming allowing my self to be washed down stream.
The night was beautiful the stars shown bright, the air was warm, and the water was cool and fresh.
I faintly wondered what river this was as a sand bar brushed my back allowing me to crawl up on to shore, on the grass was a piece of dirty white cloth lay dragging in the currant.
Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a mans button down shirt and it would fit me like pretty much a dress, as much as I hated dresses it was far better then nothing at all.
After washing it in the river I put it on then curled up in the grass. Praying with all my Heart to God Thanking him for allowing me to be free of that place and being warm and clean.
The next morning I awoke to the sun glaring down at me, getting up I grumbled about the rude awakening and glanced around.
My sour mood vanished as I saw an old highway about fifty meters from where I was sitting, in the distance I could see what looked like the out line of a city
"Civilization!" I cried out happily.
And ran towards the highway, by midday I had made it to the out skirts of the city, what I saw almost crushed me.
The place was completely empty, houses had broken windows and crumbling walls, yards where empty, trash littered the streets, rusted out old cars lined the road .
Inside one of the half torn down houses I found a pair of sandals, they where two sizes two big but they would do.
I tried all the phones I could find but I didn't even get a dial tone. "No electricity" I thought sadly.
After two hours of wandering I sat down on a bench in an over grown park. "Where is every one?" I asked my self.
My stomach growled in response and I glared at it "That Is not the response I was looking for." I grumbled.
Getting up I walked back up the street on the corner stood an old grocery store who's windows where busted out and old coupons danced in the breeze.
glass crunched under foot as I walked threw the door way "One good thing about ghost cities is there is no one to pay for food." I thought.
My hope fell as I walked threw the isles, nothing but dirt and empty boxes sat on their shelves ceiling panels lay on the floor from where they had fallen.
Rounding the corner I found the canned food section, and My eyes popped out of my head .
The shelves where full! Canned fruit, vegetables, milk and even meat, as much as I hate Spam and Vienna sausages I was thrilled to see them.
Grabbing a cart I stashed Cans of food, Plastic plates, can openers, a pot and other cooking utensils bottled water and seasonings such as salt and pepper.
I rolled it over to the door pausing when I spotted a sign that read. "Sporting goods" Grapping a flash light and batteries, I walked in.
I was surprised at what I found, almost every thing was in perfect condition. for the exception some of the stuff had moth and mouse holes chewed threw them.
I grabbed a large book bag and started to fill it with chem. lights, solar blankets, solar powered lamps, there where even cloths that fit! Some times it sucked being so small.
I was exited, I had shampoo soap and other hygiene items, food, cloths, cooking material, and every thing I would need.
I even found a bicycle that wasn't to high off the ground. Ok so it was bright pink and had streamers coming out the handle big deal. You would be amazed with what you can do with a little spray paint and tin foil .
By noon the next day I had a house that looked like it was in livable condition. and had moved all the stuff I had found to my new home.
I spent the next few days cleaning the best I could I had found a calendar for the year 2009 and started marking off the days.
By the end of the week every thing had been cleaned, who ever lived here before had kept the place stock piled with supplies.
The last day of cleaning I found something that made my blood run cold. It was a news paper that was dated December 2008 the head lines read "Nuclear war, when will it end?"
I read on learning that most of the smaller countries had been wiped out, North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Germany, England, and the US. Where the only places left.
Russia, Germany, England, and The US, had teamed up to help defend against North Korea, China, and Iran who where sending missiles against the U.S. and other allied countries
50 of the US had been hit with nuclear missiles while only 20 of Russia, 10 of Germany, and 10 of England still stood at the Time the paper was written.
Iran had been completely wiped out but China, and Korea still had about 10 to 5 left.
I dropped the paper and plopped down on the worn couch, the world had gone in to a Nuclear war? I didn't understand it explain that happened to the people I had been with.
They hadn't been acting, Humanity had digressed into survival of the fittest.
Becoming a little more then animals, the human race mutated to meet their needs. Stronger bodies where needed to survive in the wild, heightened senses allowed for better hunting, and cities where no longer safe.
So they left, and the offspring of the survivors knew only living under ground or in the cave like buildings that where provided as the bomb shelters.
They felt it was only natural to live in caves, I glanced in to the cracked mirror in font of me.
A Girl no older then 5 or 6 looked back bright almost glowing neon green eyes gazed back, my ears where slightly pointed for better hearing.
I grinned showing sharp canines then sighed as I laid back and closed my eyes how did this happen?
"How can I fall asleep at night and wake up the next morning in a new body, being held by a being that is hardly even human?" I asked my self.
20 minutes after slowly falling asleep the sound of an explosion startled me out of my skin.
"Was the war still going on?!" I asked my self.
I crept slowly out side small boots not making a sound as I ran down the street.
Gun fire of a high caliber could be heard near by, causing my sensitive ears to ring.
Jumping into one of the trees I climbed to the upper most branches strong and sharp finger nails keeping me from falling out.
What I saw made my eyes almost pop out of my skull and my jaw to drop.
There stood in the middle of a collapsed building was a huge black Robot firing laser weapons at a gray one with wings on it's back.
A bigger Red, blue, and silver one fought an even bigger Black one that wielded some thing like a whip.
The Red blue and silver one had a glowing sword in place of his right hand, up above a space shuttle fired at a black and purple jet.
As a Bright red Robot Leapt on to the back of another jet causing it to crash nose first in to the ground.
Fear rushed threw my veins as high pitched screeches and clicks washed threw the night air.
I tried to fight off instinct but do to the young age of my body and the wave of dizziness that struck me, I fell/leapt form the tree and slipped back into my house hiding deep in the closet.
My mind cursing my body the entire time as my consciousness faded into a hazy dream then vanished all together Allowing my instincts to take over.
Ok any pointers people? Any and all help is welcome just no flames because they will be used to keep me warm and toasty on guard duty this winter...brr
