Undercity chapter 2
#2 of Undercity
Chapter 2 â€" The Awakening
The young boy started to slowly open his eyes, he let out a small groan. he moved his head around trying to look at his surroundings, he stoped as he could see some figures in front of him, but he couldn't see who they were. He heard the one on
the left start to speak but could only make out some of what he was saying, "you know that we... and if we don't get to... oh, and
what should we do about..." the young boy shook his head and grumbled, rubbing it slightly.
"gah, my head, why does it hurt, where am I.... who am I?"
the two figures started to move towards him as the other then one started to talk again, "oh, what should we do with SAM..." the other figure shushed him, "you know we arent... talk about it later". one boy got up
and took a few steps over to the small boy, "look, he is waking up."
The young boy grumbled and tossed over to what he thought was his side. "so my name is Sam is it," he thought to himself rubbing his head. The one figure took a few more steps closer, soon after they began to come in clear, two boys not older then what seemed to be twelve, thirteen, sat in front of him and a fire. One of the boys was skinny with short spiky hair, he was wearing a large sword on his back and a black tank top, the other boy, was short, with scruffy short blond hair, he had dirt all over his body and a back pack with some torn up blue jeans.
Sam tilted his head, "am I still in Undercity, or maybe I came to a convention, why do they look like that?" He thought to himself sitting up crossing his legs as he looked down to his pants. His old cargo shorts had been removed and replaced with black pants with purple straps and had a fish net tank top on. He felt his hair, it had grown down to the top of his butt. He looked around at his surroundings, it looked like Undercity, but in ruin; it was dark outside. Sam tried to stand up wobbling some losing his balance and falling back down oh his rear.
One of the boys was staring into the fire while the other one stared at Sam with a concerned look on his face, holding out a
hand as Sam fell over "you okay buddy?"
Sam looked up and slowly starting to nod, "I...I just lost my balance, i... i also cant...cant remember anything except where I am and my name".
The other boy started to whisper something to the boy not looking up as the other boy nodded quickly, "yea, you're right, he will be angry." he looked back down at Sam, "well, I wish we could help you, I wasn't sure if I should have taken you to the clinic or not, glad to see your okay, but we have to get going, see you around some time."
Sam held out a hand, "wait...where are you going?" the boy that was starring into the fire stood up and started to walk away
stopping at the bridge, If it wasn't for my friend we would have left you," he said in a low growl, "all you non normies are the
same, filthy creatures...we should just get rid of all of you, it would be a better world... just by a little bit maybe". he spit in the
water and beckoned the other boy over as they started to walk over the bridge.
Sam tilted his head as his eyes popped open "Wait! What do you mean...non normies"?
The one boy stopped again, "so, a stupid non normie. Look in the water ya idiot and you'll see" the boy started to walk off until he couldn't be seen by the shadows as the other boy shrugged and started to walk after the other boy.
Sam scuttled to his feet and ran over to the water kicking some small rocks in as he skidded to a stop. He waited for the water
to calm down before he took a look in the water. Sam's eyes widened as he screamed into the night air, his face had been
replaced with that of a fox, he looked to his hands, they were fox hand paws, same with his feet. Sam slowly reached his paws
above his head and felt around until he felt ears flicking lightly against his head. Sam slowly started walking away from the
water shaking slightly.... he walked until his tail rested over the fire. The fire soon started to burn Sam's tail as he again
screamed running back to the water and dipped his tail in the water. he let out a long sigh of relieve slowly walking back to the
fire making note not to burn his tail again.
Sam curled up into a ball next to the fire looking into the night sky, "its just a dream... its just a dream... ill wake up soon...and ill be back at home... where ever it is" he slowly stood up and looked around again wondering what part of the city he was at. it looked to be a building that was blown up next to the river.
A couple minutes passed and Sam twitched his ears looking the opposite direction. "hello... is somebody there?" he said slowly moving towards the direction the noise had come from. He made sure not to step out of the light. a few moments later, some figures slowly started forming in the distance and coming closer to. Sam walked back turning around for a second to run behind the fire. he slowly started rubbing his eyes squinting in the distance, "who are you...what do you want, i dont have any money, please don't hurt me..." one of the figures started to move closer to the fire. he slowly out reached a hand. Sam turned and started running as he tripped over a rock falling onto his chest knocking all his air out. he groaned and slowly flipped onto his side, he cocked his head to the fire where the figure was standing. he was still outstretching his arm. as the hand reached above the fire he could see it was a paw, it seemed there was two of them all together. "Don't worry... we want to help you..." he said in a deep voice as Sam let out a sigh of relief...
