Chapter Four
20 minutes earlier...
As Mordecai stepped out into the world once again he couldn't help but feel a chill spread across his body. Mordecai couldn't quite work out what it was, But something felt off. Mordecai had a feeling like he should turn back, But he couldn't work out wether or not it was just his tired worn out muscles talking. Sighing, Mordecai forced his legs to keep moving before he slouched down into the semi comfortable seats in the cart.
Mordecai put the keys in the ignition and rested his hands against the steering wheel, letting his feathers wrap around the worn out leather. Mordecai made sure his phone was on the seat next to him before applying force to the pedals and driving away from the park.
As Mordecai left the park gates he noticed the lack of people around. It was only 7 at night, Normally the town would be busy. Mordecai's suspicions grew when he noticed that most of the street lights were busted, and he could smell the strong smell of fire. Mordecai hesitantly turned the street corner and immediately he was greeted by complete carnage.
People were running away in fear, People were lying on the ground and some were simply attacking others. Mordecai noticed that the moons glow was being reflected on the street, Glass shards everywhere. Mordecai decided to turn around, backing up the street. Mordecai tried to ignore the sense of pure fear creeping through his system as he started to drive back to the park. Just as Mordecai was going to turn the corner he noticed that a truck was out of control, and was hurtling towards the cart at an alarming speed.
Mordecai seriously started to panic as he attempted to turn the cart, But the cart wouldn't turn. The truck hurtled closer before Mordecai let out a yell. The truck smashed it's way into the side of the truck, The impact sending Mordecai flying across the road. The cart spun out of control, crashing its way into the tall railings that lined the perimeter of the park.
Mordecai braced himself for the hard landing, as he spun through the air at an alarming rate. The hard concrete rushed up to meet him as Mordecai crashed into the ground, Glass shards embedding themselves into his thin body. Mordecai found that he was spinning along the ground, He was extremely disorientated as he continued to spin. Mordecai found that he had finally stopped spinning as he came to a stop facing the sky above him. He was thankful that this street was unoccupied, as he felt himself fall unconcious to the sounds of a car alarm and a phone ringing...
Mordecai forced his eyes open. His phone was ringing. Mordecai attempted to move but found himself crying out in pain as he moved. Mordecai reached to grab his phone as it continued to ring, and he finally got a good grip on it as he noticed it was Rigby ringing him. Mordecai tried to answer but the phone stopped ringing.
Mordecai was fighting consciousness, Knowing he had to call Rigby back. Mordecai managed to scroll down on his contacts, Feeling something drip down his face and beak. Mordecai managed to get Rigby's contact information up before seeing the corners of his eye go black and a loud buzzing noise in his ear. Mordecai couldn't muster up the energy to press the call button.
The phone lazily slipped out of his hand and onto his red stained feathers as Mordecai looked down at himself before finally letting himself fall into unconsciousness.
