Chapter Six: Zombie vs. Hellhound
Eight Months Later…
Valkyrie was walking her now fully grown hellhound down the street.
The Scorch was now so big that his ear tips easily brushed Valkyrie's shoulder. His had fangs curled over his jaws and his fur was now sleek and shiny. But he didn't show it. He had the ability to disguise himself and look normal so that no one knew what he really was.
Suddenly two familiar figures leaped out of the alley ahead of them.
"Cain," snarled Scapegrace glaring at her than stopped. He looked down and saw Scorch.
"When did you get a dog?" he asked as he looked at the hellhound that now had his head cocked, obviously trying to tell if he was a threat or just some weirdo that smelled bad.
"A few months ago," Valkyrie said. "And if you try to kill me he'll kill you."
Scapegrace laughed. "You wish. No dog, no matter how threatening or scary looking, can defeat the zombie king."
Thrasher clapped.
"Really?" Valkyrie said and raised an eyebrow. "Okay then, why don't you try then."
Scapegrace grinned and lunged. "Reveal," she said.
In the moment it took for Scapegrace took to jump in front of her Scorch's teeth and claws had grown to actual size and his eyes had changed from the dark chocolate brown that he had kept to hide his identity and the streak down his back were on fire.
Scapegrace squealed in fear and jumped back, tripping over Thrasher who had snuck up behind him and went sprawling.
"Wha-what just happened? What kind of dog IS that?!" He cried.
"Hellhound," Valkyrie said simply. "And also I've been meaning to get some practice dummies for my new pet. And well…" she nodded to the two dummies who were staring wide eyed at her.
An evil grin formed on Valkyrie's face. "Scorch," Valkyrie gestured to the zombies.
Scorch lunged at Scapegrace while Thrasher staggered back.
The two zombies screamed and ran away. Valkyrie laughed as Scorch bit Scapegrace's butt. Thrasher was screaming his head off.
Finally Scorch came back, carrying a piece of cloth that was part of Thrasher's jacket.
The two zombies had escaped after Valkyrie had called Scorch back.
Valkyrie grinned and petted him on the head and then went home to go play Wii.
