Judo had turned on her phone And made sure it was recording. She sat down on the ground in front of the Camera, She looked down trying to find the right words for her followers. "Hey, world it's Judodo……It's Judo here, And….We're stuck here on an island, My Mum was able to call the police to try and get here to rescue us…..But then it happened, My two friends Bluey, Bingo, And their mum, are…..dead". Her eyes started to widen remembering how it all won't go down. "Bingo had her eyes ripped out…..Bluey had her stomach punctured…… And Mrs. Heeler was ripped in half". Tears started to flow down her eyes, Blue And Bingo were her only two real friends. And seeing them have to die like that traumatized the young dog. "When…. They died, We all saw this giant monster. It lifted its tail and splashed down into the water. It was huge, But I don't know what it was. I'll update you all on what has happened later…..Goodbye for now ". The little Chow Chow said, walking up and turning off the camera. She uploaded the video on her Tikdog account.

Judo walked back to the middle of the island where Sean And Strawberry were surrounded by all of the other Dogs. Cooper had his gun pointed at them, While the other men had wooden logs in their hands. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT THING, WHY DID YOU TELL US ABOUT IT". Even though Cooper yelled aggressively, Deep down he was beyond scared. "I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER, BUT NONE OF YOU LISTENED TO ME AND NOW HE'S GONNA TRY AND COME AFTER US ALL". Sean yelled back holding his sickle in front of the Gun, "WHO IS HE, Who the hell are you talking about". Richard asked, He had tear stains in his eyes, He couldn't believe that his wife was gone in an instant, Sean paused when the Border collie asked him that question. He slowly put his sickle down And took a deep breath. "H-Have you ever heard of the…..Bunyip". He said looking directly at Cooper, The red Kelpie walked back a bit confused about what the Dog was talking about.

"The Black Creature That Lives in the River and Eats Women and Children at Night! It's just a myth, There is no evidence that it exists!" Ashly said, While Holding her stomach, where her baby was yet to be born. "Well what else did you see in the water? It is The Bunyip…..But he says that's not his real name". Sean said, looking away, But Cooper was not having it. He was confused And angry. All he wanted was a simple trip with his wife and friends. And now they were all going to die on an island because of some stupid myth. But then he realized something, It wasn't the red-eyed dog's fault, It was the Boston Terriers' fault. "You're the reason we're on this stupid ass Island". He said to her as her ears dropped in fear.

"If it weren't for you, we could have been going back to the motherfucking dock". He started to walk up closer to her, the gun pointing right at her face. "And now we're all endangered because of you, you should just fucking di-

"NO"

His wife Jane ran up to her husband and pushed the gun down away from the Boston terrier. "What's wrong with you Cooper? This isn't like you, You would never point your gun at anyone"! She said, as the red kelpie snapped out of it, His PTSD was kicking in, making him lose control. "I-I-I Don't know honey, I didn't know what came over me, I'm sorry ms terrier". He said to the scared female dog.

The situation was tense, They were all scared and afraid. Not knowing what to do, They were trapped on an island. They tried calling for the cops, but they were all killed in the crash. But none of them have bothered to go inside the broken boat. "What are we going to do, if we call for help, that thing will just flip the boat again"! Wendy yelled, in panic mode, scaring her young daughter. Richard fell onto his knees still crying, slapping his face denying that his wife had died. "LISTEN" Sean yelled, getting everyone's attention, his calm and serious attitude was changed into a scared dog. He almost looked like a whole new dog, "listen, Every time he kills someone, he starts to fuck around with the weather, And try to be me to go into the water. I need you all to listen to me and do as I say, so we can get through".

………….

They all stood in silence but not from what the gray dog had told them. But from the small piece of noticeable snow falling from the sky all the way to the ground, And then it happened.

Snow was falling from the sky, but it didn't make sense. The weather showed that it was gonna be over 90 degrees. Snow does not stick on the ground, but right now it was, the small piece of snow on the hot dry sand was sticking. And then less than a second later, more started to drop, and the temperature then dropped to a freezing sensation.

"It's starting", said the red-eyed dog as he gazed up to the sky, it was no longer a bright and sunny day. The sky was covered in dark gray clouds, as rains of snow started to fall. Sean quickly ran off into the woods, Strawberry looked at him, she looked back at the group, and quickly ran to follow the silver dog. The others were just left to feel the freezing cold. All of the children ran up to their respective mothers minus Mackenzie who ran up to his weeping father. Wendy looked around making sure everyone was there. There was only one person she saw that wasn't around, It was Bandit. But she already knew where he was. "Judo I need you to stay here with the others, Please don't leave the group I have to go get Bandit". The chow chow said running off not letting her daughter ask a question, Judo did as she was told and stayed with the freezing group. Cooper looked around thinking what to do, He saw the small cabin Sean had, And then he remembered about the boat that was still on the island.

As Wendy ran through the woods she could feel the rushing snow against her fur. Even with all the warmth she had on her body, she still felt cold. Yet determined to find the blue heeler, She wasn't just gonna leave bandit out here. The trees had started to lose their leaves, the cold affecting them already. The grass wasn't doing any better, already shrinking in size. She reached the corner of the island where the only thing that was around on the ground was sand. The river was already starting to freeze, she could see the frost on the top of the lake. She continued running until she came across two mounts in the sand, one with the severed head and body of a brown and white border collie, the other had the half remains of a dead red heeler. And beside the red heeler mount was a weeping blue heeler, hugging the sand where his dead wife lay. Wendy slowly stopped walking as the snow was still falling on the ground, yet it didn't affect Bandit, he lost everything. The love of his life, the kids he had raised, were all gone in an instant, the snow brushed against the chow chow she felt sorry for the blue heeler. She then shook her head, snapping out of her emotions. She ran up to the blue heeler and grabbed his hand dragging the blue heeler on the ground, As he tried to crawl to his wife. Wendy pulled harder picking up the blue heeler from the ground, making him run away from the tombs of the dead females.

The rest of the dogs were in the cabin cramped up, except for Cooper and Richard who had left and walked up to the broken boat. It was upside down but they managed to get inside. It was a mess, they couldn't tell how many dogs were on board since most of their organs and body parts were scattered all over the inside of the boat. The two dogs had to close their nose to avoid the smell of fresh blood. But they kept on walking, feeling the gushing blood on their paws. "Why are we even inside the damn boat". Richard said shuttering in the cold. And looking away from a cracked dog skull, Cooper pushed one of the dead bodies away from a locker, it wasn't his first time dealing with a dead body. The locker however was shut with a thick metal lock, "Cooper what are you trying to ge-

"BANG"

"BANG"

The border collie's ears were ringing, The red kelpie had shot two bullets in the lock. Using his handgun. "WHAT THE FUCK MAN". Richard complained as his ears kept on ringing. Cooper then pulled the lock off, opening the door. "I was hoping they had these on the ship". The red kelpie said as he pulled out 2 m4a1s, 4 shotguns, and 5 glocks. "Personally I hate glocks but we have to make due". Cooper said as he looked around where to put the guns in. He opened one of the cabins and found a green duffle bag. "Perfect, let's put the ammo in and take the guns with us". Cooper said, placing the bag on the ground filled with blood. "This is disgusting mate". Richard said as he helped his friend put the guns in the duffle bag.

When they were finished, the two male dogs began to walk out of the broken ship. The snow was about 4 inches deep, all that happened in less than an hour. It felt cold underneath their paws, both were shivering from the cold. They were not used to the sudden change in temperature. They could feel their nose liquids freezing up. "We have to keep going, it's not far," Cooper said to Richard, the border collie nodded. Even though he lost his wife, he still had his son, there was no more time for him to grieve. The trees have lost all their brown color and leaves. "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CABIN". Patrick had to yell, the sound of the wind had gotten too strong, Making it hard to hear.

The two dogs then saw the cabin in the middle of the woods. "THERE", Cooper yelled pushing through the wind, as he could his hands freezing on the handle of the bag. The dog then noticed two other dogs walking up towards them, it was hard to see since the falling snow was still hitting hard. But in time it was made clear who it was. "BANDIT, WENDY"! Richard yelled as they gathered up, bandit was still crying, as Wendy was pulling him. "WE HAVE TO GET INSIDE". Wendy yelled pointing at the cabin, they began to walk towards the wooden house. Wendy was still pulling on the blue heeler.

Richard pushed on the front door, waiting for the others to enter the room. When they did, he closed the door. Using a pin to lock it, the wooden cabin was not huge, all the dogs were cramped. Most of the kids were on Sean's bed, huddling with each other for warmth. Multiple croc skins were scattered all over the floor and walls from the multiple crocodiles he had killed so that he could have something to eat. The wood was dark brown. And there were books and other items that looked like he had gotten from dogs that had died from the beats that lived in the water. "Where were you guys?". Jane the red kelpie said, running up and hugging her husband. "we quickly went inside the ship, and grabbed some stuff". Cooper said taking out one of the M4s, a good amount of the dogs gasped in shock looking at the weapon.

"Keep the kids away from the weapons, and make sure to keep them safe all the time until we have to fire". The red kelpie said giving all the adults a gun, but Ashley refused. Cooper was about to give Bandit a gun, but considering his mental state right now. It was not the best decision.

Wendy looked at the gun that was given to her, she shook her head. She hated the idea of guns, and that they could end life with a pull of a trigger. But even then she wanted to protect her daughter from anything that would try to harm her.

"BANG"

"BANG"

In less than 3 seconds Cooper quickly opened the locked door and pointed his m4 at the dog who was knocking at the door. "CALM DOWN", said strawberry she was wearing a red coat that had most of its color gone and it looked like it was ripped up. "Put the gun down we got some clothes for y'all," Sean said pushing the gun away from the Boston terrier. He was carrying more clothing for the rest of the dogs. Cooper placed the gun down and passed out more clothing. "Where did you get these". Ashley asked the red-eyed dog as he put on a large blue suit that had a Spiderman logo on it. "What", said the silver dog looking a bit offended, by the odd looks he got from the other dogs, especially the kids.

The other dogs put on their clothing, It was still cold but it helped them suffer just a little less. "Where did you get all this". Ashley Asked the silver dog, Sean was looking at the shotgun he was given by the red kelpie. It looked so foreign to him, he had seen shotguns before. But they were wooden and usually never looked this clean. "Well, you are not the first to come through here in this area. There have been others during the years in large boats, that have tried to get through this place. But every time he flips the boat and kills all the dogs in the water….but occasionally he would make them suffer for minutes". He said looking up at the dogs.

"But there must be something special about you all…..you're the first in 25 years that he hasn't killed on sight". He said, as the other dogs looked shocked. "you've been on this island for 25 years, how have you survived". Richard asked, rubbing his hands for warmth. The husky mixed breed hooked his head thinking about the past. "I had to fish from the river, but it wasn't enough. We needed to get more food so we started to use the fish we caught and lure crocs to shore so we could kill them. "What do you mean by we?". Said Cooper as he sat down by the red-eyed dog.

"I-I didn't say that". The red-eyed dog looked nervous, Cooper however wanted answers. "Why do you look nervous mate, got something to hide". He said getting closer to the dog's personal space. "Look it's none of your business ok, I should be asking why the fuck all of you decided to come here, And I told you all to stay away from the water. But no one listened and now look whos de-

"WHACK"

Bandit punched Sean right on his nose, he still had tears coming out from his eyes. He had tear stains, and his eyes were bloodshot. "ITS BECAUSE OF YOU NOT BEING SPECIFIC ON WHAT WAS SWIMMING IN THAT FUCKING WATER. THAT IS WHY THEY DIED, YOU'RE THE REASON WE'RE EVEN IN THIS SITUATION". Bandit yelled as he continued to beat the shit out of the mixed husky. Wendy and others pulled him back away, Sean was bleeding from his nose. He picked himself up, looking at the blue heeler. "YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT, THE THINGS THAT MONSTER HAD SAID TO ME. THE THINGS I'VE SEEN HIM DO TO OTHER INNOCENT DOGS". He yelled at the blue heeler. "Bandit calm down"! Wendy said continually pushing on the blue heeler.

And then out of nowhere, Bandit stopped in place, and the room got quiet. All they could hear was the howling wind outside

………….

"Baaaannnnnddddiiitttt" said an all too familiar voice….. It was chilli. Bandits' pupils shrunk just by hearing it. He pushed through everyone and was about to go through the front door. Until Sean grabbed him by his stomach. "MATE IT'S NOT HER DONT LISTEN TO HIM"! The dog yelled in fear, trying his best to get a hold of Bandit. The blue heeler then grabbed an ax that was on one of the top shelves and swung at the mixed husky. He luckily dogged it, Bandit was trying to kill him. But when Sean let go, the blue heeler opened the locked door and ran outside into the freezing cold. The mixed husky quickly got up running to a small drawing and taking out a rope dart, and his kukri.

"WE HAVE TO GO GET HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE". The red-eyed dog yelled at the others, as he ran out in the cold. Strawberry looked back at the others, She then grabbed one of the m4s and began to run following the silver dog. "Richard stay here, I'm going to go follow them". The red kelpie said, taking a shotgun with him. Richard then closed the door, locking it. A good amount of the kids were screaming, and crying. Terrified of what was going on, Rusty however had a straight face trying his best to calm everyone down. "It's gonna be ok guys, my dad will take care of everything". He said, sounding confident.

Outside in the freezing cold, Bandit was hugging his coat, he felt the cold weather even with the large coat. But hearing the voice of his dead wife, He knew she had died right in front of her eyes. But just hearing her voice gave him enough hope to think she was still alive. "I'll find you, baby, I'll find you". He said as his teeth were chattering.

"Baaaannnnnddddiiitttt"

He heard the voice of Chilli again, He turned around and looked at the shore. The river had frozen up, But even then the blue heeler could see a dog just standing there from a distance. He didn't think twice, Bandit ran up to the shore but quickly stopped himself when he reached the ice. Could the monster that lived In the lake still kill him if he touched the ice? It made the heeler think twice before stepping on it. But the blue heeler looked up again to see the same dog standing about a 100 feet away.

It was chilli

Bandit's eyes opened wide, Without thinking he ran on the ice, Nothing happened he didn't die in an instant. The cold no longer bothered Bandit, he now had a purpose and that was to get to his wife. When the blue heeler got 20 feet close to the red heeler……He stopped, something was wrong. He couldn't see his wife's eyes, her face was blacked out, and she stood still in the cold, as if it didn't affect her. Her lips didn't move an inch. Bandit felt as if something was wrong, but it wasn't his wife who was somehow alive. It was something else, The red heeler then twisted her head to look right at the blue heeler. Bandit shook in fear, the red heeler's emotionless face staring right at him.

"Why are you hiding………I know where you are". The red heeler said, for some reason her voice echoed, sending shivers down the blue heeler's spine, as the snow fell on him. "You are under the ice, I can feel you, stop hiding". She said, as her ears blew with the wind.

"CRACK"

Bandit looked down at the ice, a small part of it cracked, a small pale hand was pulling itself from the ice. Bandits' pupils constricted as he saw a pale Bingo pulling herself from the ice. She struggled to get out with one arm, The pale heeler shook her head to rub off the cold water. She still had the furnace that was shoved in her back, she didn't have any eyes, they were empty sockets. But what creeped out Bandit the most was how she was breathing. It was as if she was tired. She stood up and walked in front of her father, as if she was defending him. "Your god forgot me a long time ago, before the creation of Christ there were only two dogs that roamed the sacred garden, one of them was named Adam. He was like a brother to me, But then she came and ruined my…….", CHili started to grab her stomach, something was twisting around.

"PERFECT", her skin had turned pale

"BEAUTIFUL", bandit could finally see her eyes were red.

"LIFE" her jaw started to get deformed as both of her arms fell off, and blood spilled.

"EEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE"!!!!!!!!!!! She roared as her stomach exploded, and what came out was a pale blue heeler. Her hands were gone and replaced with sharp bones, her eyes were gone and replaced with red sockets. Her teeth were sharp, and her stomach was torn without organs. It was Bluey and she was looking right at her father. The pale blue heeler ran on all fours towards her father, with murder in her eyes.

"FOOM"

Out of nowhere, Bingo had sparked fire, Her eyes turned yellow, and her ripped hand was replaced with a hand-shaped fire. The red-pale heeler roared and ran on all fours toward her sister. They made contact and began to fight to the death, bluey stabbing her sister while laughing maniacally. And Bingo shooting fire right at her sister's face. Bandit was in shock seeing what was happening right in front of him. As the kids were fighting each other, Bandit looked up at his pale wife.

She was floating and missing half of her body. Looking right into the blue heeler's terrified eyes. Her organs were hanging out from her split body.

"RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" The heeler yelled, as she floated straight at her husband, her mouth grew wider just enough to eat the blue heeler. Chilli was just about to snap her jaws at the scared heeler.

"TING" the red heeler shut her wide mouth when she felt a sharp pain on the front of her forehead. Bandit looked back to see Sean holding the rope from the rope dart. He stabbed her right in her brain. Chilli let out a huge scream And started to go crazy. She was sliding on the ground taking the mixed husky for a ride. Wendy and Cooper caught up seeing the young heelers still fighting each other. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON". Wendy shouted in fear, seeing Bingo sticking her fire hand in Bluey's mouth, As the blue heeler stabbed her sister in the eye. "It doesn't matter we have to get the fuck out of he-"

"RUMBLE"

The ground began to shake, and as the ice started to break, giant hands were crawling out of the ice. And with those hands were large dead dogs of different breeds, looking at the terrified dogs. There were also smaller dogs crawling out and running directly at them. The dogs began to run back to the island, as they were being chased by dozens of undead dogs. Some had limbs missing from their bodies, others were children, and some didn't even have heads. Chilli was still dragging Sean across the ice, but she stopped when she saw the blue heeler about to make it to land. She used all her strength and began to float towards the group of dogs, still taking Sean on a ride.

The pale red heeler managed to burn her sister a good amount, but she still sustained damage, she turned around And saw her mother as she was about to bite her father. Bingo took in a deep breath and held it in.

"FWOOMM"

When she released it, a large wave of fire hit her mother causing her to get pushed into a tree. Sean was also thrown against a tree causing him to feel massive pain in his back. Chilli screamed in pain, as the fire engulfed her, and turned her into dust. Bandit saw it leaving him in a more traumatized state. "HELP" Sean yelled as he tried to get up, but the pain was too much, "C'mon we have to help him". Wendy said as they all ran to pick up the silver dog. They quickly carried them to the center of the woods.

Bingo stood there looking at the undead as they started to run at her. She got on all fours, her body began to stretch and her limbs grew including her fire, she was no longer a normal-looking dog. She was about 30 feet tall, the back of her head was on fire and her hand was blazing. Bluey stood up and her body was burnt, but she was still alive. She began to grow as well. Her body stretched in horrible ways. She stood up the same height as her sister. Bingo roared as the fire spread around the ice. Bluey just smiled as the army of the dead followed her.

To be continued
