Chapter one
I stared into the deep blue water. The water that took my family. It gurgled and bubbled, green foam clung to it. I heard another water car bumbling through the water towards the dock. People started to get on the horrible creature. It made a sound like a deep laugh. And I knew it wanted to steal more family’s. Clean men in uniforms welcomed the people and talked politely. I was sickened at the men, they were unfazed at the dirty people climbing on. A man saw me sitting at the edge of the dock he yelled at me “get out of here you mangy mutt!” A passenger threw a empty bottle at me and I trotted away.
I padded down a road of people selling food. The smells made my stomach rumble. I very quickly snuck behind one of the stands. This one was selling meat. I found a bin of meat that had started to rot. I picked out a huge one that had just started to go bad. Suddenly the man selling the meat turned around. “Hey” he yelled, I looked up at him. He reached down and tried to grab me. I scrambled down the street. I heard people yell and throw stuff at me. I ran into an ally that I new well. I squeezed through a hole into a abandoned apartment. Jumping onto the couch I inspected my loot. It was big and could probably keep me full for a few days. I ripped into the chunks of meat. When I finished I snuggled into the sofa and fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of large machines and chunks of wood and debris falling around me. The apartment was being ripped apart from the roof. I got up and bolted out of the room. Outside there were people in hard orange hats and rough hands. One pointed at me and started yelling. Another man snatched me up. I tried to jump out of his hands, but he had a strong grip. He pulled me over to a red truck and shoved me inside. Then he went over to the other side and got in. The car made a rumbling sound and started moving.
I woke up and we were still in the truck. I hadn’t realized I fell asleep. I looked around and saw that now I was a crate. In a flash I was biting the wire, barking and clawing it. Nothing that I did was even putting a dent in it. Suddenly the truck stopped. The man got out and grabbed my crate. Then he opened the trunk and put me in. Then we were driving again.
A few hours later we got to a huge house. A mansion really. The man picked up the crate and dragged it through the front door. Then he called out into the house “ I got it, I got what your looking for.”
