One Thousand Club
Fae, wandering around in the grocery store to peck through things for food, abruptly stopped and stood straight, blinking twice as she sniffed at the air, tail and ears twitching around from sounds she could hear in the distant, and the strange smell of death.. But there was a sense of fear, mixed just as much with death in the surroundings. Ferret huddled beneath her hair, sitting around her shoulders while the small black and white ferret tensed up, fur bristled, which the fur on Fae's tail soon mimicked. Slowly she creeped back outside, only to have to immediately press her back against the brick wall of the store. She and Ferret just blinked and stared, watching as a huge herd of animals, zebras, horses, deer, lions, cheetahs, almost anything you could think of making a huge racket of noise as they bombarded down the street, making the ground shake. When this herd passed she quickly looked the way they were running. And at the sight she saw- On reflex a shriek of a scream slipped out past her lips. Rolling her way, was a huge cloud of.. She didn't know what it was. Dust, of some sort. But.. Something smelled.. Off about it. It was a tinted gray color, almost black, but that wasn't what spooked her. What spooked her was the smell of it. It had the scent something would similar to poison- she could practically taste it in her lungs already. And as if that weren't bad enough, she could see a shadowed figure within this cloud, at least over seven feet tall, broad shoulders twice as big as any man could ever get. Right after her scream she turned on her heels and ran the other way, while at the same time shifting. She didn't care about her scrap clothes- She easily slipped out of them after shifting, into a small black cat to be exact, while Ferret was on her back, clinging to tufts of her fur with his small little paws. It would've been an odd sight, but Fae wasn't exactly thinking about that.
Eliana had been about to say something to James, sitting beside him, when abruptly she stopped, lifting her head and quickly looking towards the door. Simply from the fact that the ground was shaking. And not very long after, she heard a scream from somewhere in the distance, somewhere near the city. Jumping terribly at the scream, she practically jumped onto James' lap with a small yelp, only to jump again at Elizabeth's immediate shout in reply to the scream.
"Over here!" She had shouted out the door, towards where the scream had come from. Someone was out there, and she knew what was coming- She'd been through it once before. She stood right in the doorway so she was half out, half in. But just as quickly she slapped a button on the inside of the house, right next to where the door frame was. The next instant, metal plating from both the outside and inside covering any windows that there were along with the bottoms of doors, to seal off the air it seemed, except for the door she was still holding open.
Fae heard a shout. "Over here!" It was distant, but her ears caught it. Immediately she was trying to run faster, ignoring the sharp glass and rocks she was running right over, just because the fear of death spiked her adrenaline, her heart beating as fast as a cornered rabbits, fur standing on end which matched Ferret's. Have to make it, have to make it. She didn't know what this cloud of dust that was right on her tail was, but it was evident it was deadly. Any animal would be able to sense it. She could hear what sounded like screams even coming from what she could've sworn were zombies. It wasn't their normal shrieking, they were in pain. She ran, and ran, faster, and faster. She finally spotted a house with a door open- A woman standing there in the doorway.
"Come on!" Elizabeth beckoned what she saw was now a black cat. She wasn't sure if the scream came from the creature, but she'd do her best. The only bad thing.. Was that the black cloud was right on the cat's tail, practically. "Get down!" She shouted, the earth trembling and shaking, and the moment the cat was in her arms, not even caring to notice the ferret, she retreated into the house with the door slamming shut, a metal sheet fitting over it immediately, while she then immediately had crouched down.
The black cloud of deadly dust swept over the entire town and even further then that- Along with it shaking the earth as if it were a toy, rattling it like an earthquake. While it went over the house the lights dimmed until they flickered- Repeatedly doing so while this cloud passed over, the sounds of things being knocked off shelves and falling to the floor, some thuds and some crashing from glass, sounded out around the house, along with an eminent rumble that sounded as if it'd come deep from the throat of a giant beast, only adding to the shaking of the house.
Elizabeth held tight to the cat in her arms, closing her eyes tight as she very nearly fell over even from her crouched position, hugging the cat to her chest, trying to ignore the flickering lights.
Eliana wasn't sure what to do the moment she heard Elizabeth's "Get down!" But the moment the earth was rumbling and the lights started flickering, the first thing she thought to do out of fear was cling to James, panicking quite literally, not knowing quite what was going on, jumping each time she heard something fall.
