There wasn’t anything worse than the Union, M-21 knew that. The arm of the Union was long and cruel, and if anyone under their power tried to run, they were quickly caught and dealt with.
He still had to try. Everyone was gone. M-24 was gone. There was no-one left.
But just because there was nothing worse than the Union, that didn’t mean there were other things in the world that would fucking destroy him with no trouble.
He’d been warned to stay out of this forest, but never told why. It hadn’t been important. And now, he didn’t care, so long as it made the Union hesitate for that second longer.
M-21 panted, pressing a hand to his bleeding side as he leaned against the tree. He’d been caught by a bullet and it was only because he’d stumbled at the time that it hadn’t gone through his head. Hah, a moment of weakness helping him for once. Not for long. The thick trees would help hide him, but the Union had to know where he wa…
He turned his head, hearing a deep, wet sniffing sound to his right.
Some kind of dog probably. Not the Union’s, or else it would have already started barking and charging at him. There was something off about it though.
The dog sniffed again and M-21 sucked in a quiet breath, straightening.
It was too high. The dog was sniffing too high. Unless dogs could fucking climb trees he shouldn’t be hearing that at head height.
Something shifted, moving, and it wasn’t trees he was looking at. Something over a head taller than he was, and three times as wide. It looked almost human, but when it reached out into the light to place a hand on the tree closest to it, M-21 saw a brown furry hand with claws as long as his palm instead.
Shit. Was this why he’d been told to avoid this forest?
The monster leaned in, revealing a wolf-like head, its eyes staring right at him as it sniffed again.
M-21 bolted, a growl following him. As he ran, he heard it chase him.
Shitshitshit-! He stumbled over more roots, hands scraping against tree bark. He didn’t fall over, but he came close to it a few times.
Maybe it was too big, but it never caught up with - shit! The monster appeared on his left and he swerved to the right to keep the distance between them.
His lungs and legs burned as he stayed just out of reach, the monster catching up to him every once in a while.
No, he realised, his eyes wide as he came up against a rock face.
The fucker had been herding him.
He span around, trying to find somewhere else to go but it was right there in front of him.
It dropped down to all fours as it approached and it looked more shaped like a gorilla than a wolf, its upper half higher than its legs. It was growling still as it edged towards him, watching him.
Fuck. So this was how it was going to end, huh. Free from the Union and killed by a fucking monster instead.
Better than being dragged back to the labs to be experimented on. He would get to see his comrades again this way.
The monster stopped in front of him, and huffed, the sigh blowing at M-21’s sweat slicked hair. It reached over, the movement so slow like it was taunting him and M-21 could only watch his oncoming death, his limbs too heavy to react.
It patted his head.
The fucking monster patted his head.
M-21 froze and it had been so gentle to not even move him. When the monster retrieved its hand, M-21 saw rows of sharp teeth as it peeled its lips back. And. What the fuck just happened? Was it threatening him or smiling?
M-21 didn’t have the energy to yelp when the monster scooped him up and held him against its chest, its claws placed away from him, as it ran deeper into the forest.
A part of him panicked that it was taking him back to eat him. The much larger part was just tired, and if it had wanted to kill him, it would have already.
So he leaned against the chest, feeling the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of its heart and its footsteps, and just closed his eyes.
Inspired by this post. Will hopefully have other parts! :D
