Scales and Fur: Chapter 2 - Lost..
#2 of Scales and Fur
Chapter 2 - Lost..
His eyes fluttered open, the ground was cold, the smell of smoke was overwhelming, he stood up and groaned, his body ached.
"Well it hurts like a bitch, so I must not be dead, that's a plus.." He turned around and looked at his car, it was completely black and smoke rose from it.
"What the fuck.." He looked at it curiously; the roof looked as though it had been peeled back.
"How did that happen.. Gah!!" He collapsed to his knees and covered his ears, the sound of that deep roar radiated in his mind.
"What was that.." He groaned and stood up again and looked around to see where the road was, his eyes trailed up a steep incline to his left as he muttered - "You have got to be kidding me.. That is not going to work.." He groaned and looked over himself; his fur was a little singed but the rest of him seemed ok, little cuts and bruises here and there. He walked into the forest, and looked around until he spotted a small pool of water. Leaning down he looked at his reflection, dried blood covered the right side of his face, originating from a mark on his head" he poked it gently and whimpered in pain.
"Eh, I'll be fine, just need to clean myself up a bit is all" He said somewhat cockily, cupping his paws together he picked up some water and splashed it on his face, soaking his fur. He rubbed the dried blood until it was gone and cleaned around the wound on his head, whimpering a little.
"There! Good as new!" He said jokingly to himself, standing back up slowly.
"Oh who am I kidding.. I'm so fucked right now.. lost, alone, hurt.. man, why is it always me..?" He sighed and ventured into the forest.
"No use hanging around here, that incline is just a tad too steep and high for my taste.." He smiled and walked through the forest, the tree's towered above him, while others were much lower to the ground, the sound of his footpads on the ground made a thumping sound in the silence of the forest.
"Hmm what am I going to do... whoa! What the!" He stopped and looked up hearing the sound of something moving above him, and a branch suddenly came crashing down above him. He jumped to the side, nearly avoiding the branch and looked up quickly only to see a large black mass flying off.
"Whoa what was that?!" He got up quickly and chased after the flying mass, looking up trying to keep eye contact with it and suddenly WHAM! He grunted as he ran straight into a tree and was knocked backward onto the ground.
"Ouch.." He groaned and looked around the tree, the mass was gone.
"Damn it!" He growled angrily and stood up, brushing himself off. He looked up at the sky and realized it was early morning again.
"Wow I must have been out for a while! Maybe I should look for someplace to lie down.. I'm sorta tired.." He stretched and started to walk around, he picked up a large stick and used it as a walking cane, looking for someplace to take shelter in.. He groaned as all he saw was trees as far as the eye could see..
"Well this blows.. guess this will have to do.." He ran at a nearby tree and gripped it tightly, climbing with a bit of trouble, he made it to a strong large branch and propped himself up onto it.
"Well it'll do for now.. I wonder what that was..." He looked up through the branches overhead at the sky and pondered as he drifted off to sleep...
"Shit, shit, shit!!" He roared angrily at himself, he flying as fast as he could, his large leathery wings were as black as the night sky, his scales were as smooth as smooth could be, black, with a dark red chest and tummy. He roared out again angrily.
"Fuck!! He saw me!! Stupid, stupid, stupid!! You were supposed to stay hidden you fool!" He yelled angrily and shot a burst of flame from his maw. He flew down and landed on the ground and curled up quickly.
"God I hope he's okay.. I hope I didn't hurt him.." He said softly to himself and stared off into the distance, in a sort of trance almost.
"Maybe I should go see if he's ok.. NO! You're a dragon you imbecile! You think that's going to go well?! Oh hi! My name's Drake! Nice to meet you little wolfy! Oh by the way did I crush you with that branch that fell? Yeah like that'll go over well..." He growled and continued arguing with himself.
