Tainted City

Chp4 and Chp5

Chp 4: the meeting

Skipping through the open garage door Jeffery welcomed me with a big slobbery kiss. After pushing him away I introduced the two “Hey Jeff this is the lady who promised me food!” his tail was wagging with excitement when she ducked under the garage door.

I ran up to the lady yanking at her dress “Hey miss this is Jeffery! He’s my dog!”.

The woman screamed then spoke “O-oh that’s y-your dog huh? Is he a g-good boy?” all three of Jeffery’s heads shook up and down throwing slobber all over the place.

The woman reached out to pet him, Jeffery got to her first though. She was carried over to the middle of the room so he could get a good sniff of her scent before letting her go too far.

Her long brown hair was all over the place, sticking out on all sides because of his large wet nose. I tackled Jeffery “You ready to eat jeffery?!” his bark nearly shattered the few windows we had.

The lady asked us a bunch of questions while I cuddled into Jeffery’s furr

“What’s your name?” Kane.

“Where are you from?” a rich family who lives in the forest.

“Where are your parents?” I was adopted and trained.

“Why was I at that burger joint?” for food!

“Alright one last question… what’s your favorite food?” her smile seemed so much more genuine now that we had talked.

I had to think about it for a few minutes before giving her an answer “mashed potatoes!!!” Jeffery agreed of course.

“Alright Kane, Nice to meet you! My name is Cherry. I will follow up on our agreement and get you some mashed potatoes” she left in a hurry.

Chp 5: EW GROSS and yummy!

The sun had already gone down and Cherry hadn’t come back yet. Jeffery was sleeping so I left the house on my own to surprise him with a meal when he woke up.

The streets were lit up with light so it was a bit more difficult to see. I kept wondering where everyone had gone since the morning was so busy. Every now and then a car would pass by but not as many as before. It was getting chilly since my clothes were torn to shreds. I wrapped my arms around my chest hoping to warm up but the wind was too bitter to ignore.

A few cars rushed by with bright lights and loud noises coming from them before leaving sight around the corner. The wind was getting worse and snow was starting to fall.

A long white vehicle pulled up to the pathway a few buildings ahead letting out a rather large man wearing a black suit. His hair was silver and shiny as he walked into the store in front of him. I rushed up to look through the window of the store. The man was sitting at a table with a few other men talking.

The only thing they had ordered for hours was a bright red juice, they talked on and off for a long time. I was amazed at the furniture and how clean everything was.

A large hand grabbed my shoulder with a tight grip. then I was yanked into the air held by my neck “Now what’s a squirt like you doing out here huh?” the man holding my throat looked at me with suspicion. I tried screaming but his grip was too tight, nothing managed to come out.

Quickly I started scratching at his arms, his blood splattered across the window like a work of art. The smell was so horrific I gagged after he dropped me to the ground. I ran up to the white car jumping on top to stay away from the aggressive man.

My nails dug into the hood of the car as I took a beast defense stance. The men from inside the building came running out “Woah woah what’s going on here?!” the rude guy pointed at me with his only intact hand “The kid attacked me!” they all looked my way before asking me what happened.

“That douche bag yanked me into the air! I just wanted to see what food this place had so I waited for you to order!” the men started laughing for no good reason.

“You’re all weirdos! You didn’t even eat anything” the men rushed at me, mostly missing my body and hitting the car but the silver haired man caught me by the ankle mid air. I tried getting away but he grabbed my thick black hair pulling me closer to his face.

They held my mouth open while talking in another language I had never heard before. They were way too strong for me to fight and I was furious. The man holding me looked in my eyes to speak “Kid, what’s wrong with you?” they pulled me to the ground before pouring a bunch of the red juice into my mouth.

I gagged and screamed trying to get away but I was just too weak. I was finally released when their cups ran out “How’d that taste kid?” I turned over puking all over the ground.

The taste was foul and the men watched me the whole time waiting for a reply. I heaved a few lungs full of air before looking back with teary eyes “It was revolting you damn wackos!” It wasn't even five seconds before Jeffery came to the rescue pulling each of them limb from limb.

Jeffery hadn’t touched the man with silver hair so I beat him up myself.”Jeffery leave them!” he stopped in his tracks waiting for my next command. I jumped on his back and led him away from the scene.

We walked about an hour to cool our heads then went back to our home.

The sight before us was more than we could handle.

There were buckets of mashed potatoes all over the place and a long brown haired woman in baggy clothes sleeping in the corner with a huge black blanket spread out. Cherry kept her end of the bargain!

There were bags labeled “Kentucky fried cook’n” on the floor by her feet. Jeffery and I trotted up to the bags cheerfully “OH LORD THAT’S GOOD!”. Cherry woke up just in time to join our feast, I had eaten seven containers of these glorious mashed potatoes meanwhile Jeffery had only eaten four!

“Wow you guys were hungry~” she spoke happily between each bite.
