Rain it the island hard and it had been hitting the island hard for the past few days, many areas flooding slightly and making the weather miserable for most but not for a young pair of cryo’s who were enjoying the wet weather as they dashed down a pathway chasing one another letting out hisses and laughs with the two finally growing into their feathers, Church being in the lead and the much darker feathered cryo who went by the name of Cujo in the back trying to catch up to him. The two had now grown into their juvenile stages and were just learning what the scary world had to offer that they lived in but so far they were doing well with Cujo keeping the two out of trouble for the most part.

“Church, wait up! We never have been this far into the abandoned city dont you think we should turn around and the weather is getting worse” he called out before slowing his pace as they had gotten close to the abandoned cities limits and not knowing much they could be putting themselves in danger without knowing it.

Church had already gone ahead finding his way and not hearing Cujo call to him, as he dashed into an abandoned area with the buildings almost looking like corpses that hadn’t been touched in years before his eyes widened with how curious he was of the city. After no reply from Church, Cujo was forced to follow, letting out an annoyed hiss as he kept low with the rain getting slightly worse making his feathers drenched as the storm had gotten a bit heavier than earlier which caused some concern. 

“Cujo you have to come see this look at all the old stuff I found and it’s dry in here so hurry up” Church called out as he rummaged through some old items tossing anything behind him , he didn’t find interesting. Coming into view and following Church’s voice Cujo avoided  the items before letting out a low growl of annoyance and shoving Church before looking around and sniffing the ground before feeling his feathers flare something was up and he didn’t like it.

“I told you not to run ahead, especially into here the city is dangerous we don’t know what lurks around, we should go and stop touching everything you dork” Cujo said keeping low as he watched Church regain his footing from being shoved by him.

Church sighed shaking out his feathers before turning to Cujo “Stop being so uptight nothing is going to be here its abandoned look, it’s so dusty in here and besides we are out of the storm” he said before picking up a old trinket with his claws before shaking out his feathers once more and letting out a sneeze due to the dust that came up with it.

Little did the two know that they had been being watched by a predator that showed no mercy and had no issues attacking or killing his own kind and that was Ghostface, a large cryo that towered over others and locked on with his red eyes spotting a bad attitude along with his scary features, he was going undetected by Church and Cujo and they were in grave danger. 

“Come on Church before we get fou..nd..” Cujo said before turning his head quickly to the sound of low growling behind them at the doorway of the building as red eyes peered from the darkness with the loud crack of lighting behind the large figure. Both Cujo and Church’s feathers rose as the figure moved closer, crushing the old floor beneath him as Church spoke up with a stutter.

“We we.. were just leaving sorry for coming to your areaa..a..a” he said backing away and stepping on the trinket he had held earlier causing him to hiss out in fear at the sound of it breaking.

“Well well well what do we have here two young of my own kind in my territory how unfortunate, it’s always the young ones” Ghostface growled through his teeth as he came out of the darkness his skull shaped markings giving off an eerie look to him as he towered over Cujo and Church who had never seen a cryo of this size from their own species, they were now realizing they were in danger and they needed to get out and far away as possible.

“We were just leaving, we will be on our way now” Cujo said before stepping back as Ghostface stood in front of him, a shiver traveling down his body. 

With a choppy laugh Ghostface let out before bearing his teeth and giving off a sinister grin “Oh leaving there is no leaving now, you're my dinner” he said before letting off a snap at Cujo who let out a hiss as he stumbled backwards to avoid the attack from Ghostface who was now going after Cujo and Church.

The two young cryo’s did their best to avoid the large cryo with giving off bites and hisses to counter his attack before Cujo looked back to hearing a slam as Church had been pinned down by Ghostface, the two carnivores giving off bites where they could land them as Ghostface sank his teeth into Church’s arm and pulled harshly with Church letting out a painful hiss.

“Get off of him! You big bully” Cujo hissed out before slamming into Ghostface who crashed into the old furniture that stood in the back of the old room they had been in which allowed Church to get up and find his feet again before joining Cujo who was also roughed up from the encounter, blood filling the air as they now had a window to make a break for it from Ghostface who let out a roar in a rage from the two young cryo’s.

“You will regret that you two rats” he hissed out from the building as he finally had made it to his feet but Church and Cujo were nowhere to be seen and had taken off into the rain, the bloodied puddles left behind from them as Ghostface leaned down to sniff the scent in his red eyes narrowed before he lumbered back into his domain.

The two young cryo’s living the encounter of death and learning a harsh lesson that there were much bigger dangers that lurked around every corner but they had made it out alive, least this time.
