Prologue
Abigail (Abby) has just moved out of the city to a small quiet town to get some much needed quiet time. She lived in the city her entire life and since she works from home remotely, she figured why not pack up and move where ever she wants. Maybe even get a dog.
Since covid happened, her job decided like many other companies to just keep their employees remote. Abby was already working remotely every other day and was not happy at first with me 100 percent home because she is a chatter box and needs to be around other people. Instead she stayed inside and posted dark and funny memes on f*******: and read werewolf romance books in her free time.
Abby loved being outdoors. She wasn't used to clean crisp air. She found herself less inside and more outside when she wasn't stuck working behind her computer. Of course she would have her phone in hand to sit outside and read and post on social media. She has only lived in her new joke for a few months and have not made any friends. Most of the resident kept to themselves and not many were her age. At 31 she was content with her career but extremely lonely. She wanted to eventually find her person and get married and have children.
One day while walking around outside she ran into the craziest looking chocolate lab dog she has ever seen. He had no color and watched laughing as two animal control officers tried catching him.
The dog bolted and ran right into her arms. She could not stop laughing and fell in love with him immediately. Come to find out from the officers that he was a stray dog and was planning to put him down because no one would adopt him. With Abby's hyper brain she could relate to this crazy dog and decided to adopt him. His name became Buddy and this dog was awesome but crazy as hell.
This dog was non stop but quickly became her best friend. He helped her lose some of her feelings of loneliness. She would talk to her parents on the phone but her mom was a nagger and her alcoholic dead was always in a piss poor mood. Her older brother moved put of state for a new job so they barely have time to catch up on the phone.
One night while Abby was shutting down her work computers and starting dinner for her and Buddy, she saw a weird flashing light outside. Buddy was going nuts trying to get outside. He was very protective of me and our home. That dog didn't play around.
I gave in and grabbed the leash and flashlight. I needed to restrain Buddy so he doesn't accidentally attack someone and get taken away from me. We started walking outside in the cool night air. I had my lounge clothes on with a pair of sneakers and bathrobe. Her neighbors lived far apart and since she worked from home she didn't care how she looked.
Buddy was dragging her all over the yard and something felt very off. The hairs on my neck stood up and I felt like I was being watched. All the sudden I head a snap of twigs behind me and slowly turn around. I move the flashlight up in front of me and wish I didn't! Buddu also froze which is not like himnat all. In front of me are two creepy looking creatures I have never seen before. They stood there staring at us. One minute I was looking at them and the next moment they were pointing some kind of device at. I started to feel very tired all the sudden and I felt myself falling. All the sudden everything went black.
