Boom!

Thunder roared throughout the house, the lights flickered slightly but went completely unnoticed by the ecstatic sixteen-year-old girl rushing into her room with a helmet-like object and a cord.

The girl was cute, with copperish brown hair wrapped in a tight braid which swung over her shoulder and adventurous green eyes expressing excitement.

She slipped the helmet on as she laid down in her bed and started it up.

As she did there was a loud boom of thunder and the lights flickered more violently as there was a power surge.

She gave a cry of pain as static rang in her ears, light flashed in front of her eyes, electricity coursing through her body, and passed out.

The noise of wind whistling filled her ears as something cold and wet landed on her nose.

A low thunder clap in the distance.

She groaned and held her head as she slowly sat up. She felt another drop hit her head. She saw it was storming and was rather dark. She also noticed she was outside?

But she was in her bed a minute ago!

She stood up. She glanced around but stiffened when she heard a groan from behind her. She slowly turned around and saw a sickly green human like creature heading towards her.

It had grey shoes, blue tattered jeans, and a teal shredded shirt.

She quickly turned and started running through the rain. She struggled to see through it as she ran.

An arrow flew past her and she saw a glimpse of a skeleton. She ran faster.

She looked for a place to hide when she saw the lightning flash and a part of a building light up in the distance. She took off towards it.

As she got closer she saw more monsters appearing. She stopped and tried to go around but found herself surrounded. She braced herself, closing her eyes when a growl tore through the sound of rain.

She opened them and saw a white wolf tearing through the skeletons and zombies. It glanced at her and cleared a path to the building. She took off again and the wolf followed her.

She ran into the building and took shelter behind the front desk. She squeezed her eyes closed as she waited, feeling the wet fur of the wolf against her.

Meanwhile, a man, with piercing lime green eyes wearing a white and grey lab coat, was working on something in another part of the building.

When he heard the mobs outside, he pressed a button and it sealed the front door shut to keep them out. Sure, some might spawn inside but that was nothing Grim couldn't handle.

He glanced over at the wolf skeleton sleeping soundly in the corner. He smirked slightly and continued to work until he heard a voice.

"Hello?"

A female voice at that.

He watched Grim perk up and give a small growl. He came over and beckoned Grim to come with him.

She was wandering around the front lobby, dripping wet with rain water. The wolf stationed at her hip in the heeling position.

She had her back to the skeleton wolf and man until the wolf turned and growled.

She gasped and turned around.

She and the man locked eyes.

She hesitated. "Hello- "

"What are you doing here?" the man demanded.

She stepped back. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude... I just... I'm lost and I don't know where I am or how I got here- "

"You obviously walked." The man replied, unamused.

She looked down. "That's not what I- "

"I guess you can stay for now. The mobs would kill you if I threw you out right now..." He muttered, not pleased with his choice.

She blinked. "Oh... Um thank you?" She awkwardly paused. "I never got your name..."

"Trayaurus." The man replied as he walked away. "Grim! Come on."

Grim, the skeleton wolf was eye locked with the other wolf. Both growling slightly.

She stepped forward as Grim turned away to follow Trayaurus. "Wait! Don't you want my name?" She asked, confused.

"What's the point? You aren't staying that long."

Well. That was true but still...

"It's Alex." She told him, despite his objection.

"Well, make yourself comfortable for the night. You're leaving first thing tomorrow."

"Okay..." she agreed as he disappeared. She turned around and started looking for a place to rest.
