Battle and Escape (2)

Inside the Snack bar theirs the mangled bodies of three employees and the corpse of a mutated rat, limping inside Chaos lies down after closing the door.

The shudders are already down when he entered, the employees must have put them down, the lights are on and the food is all still in place, no ones ransacked the place yet.

After making sure that everything is tightly locked and that their are no other entrances to the snack bar, Chaos lied down ready to fall asleep but it was not that the door creaked open.

Chaos was already lying down and incapable of moving around, the pain was too much forcing him to stay down.

The form in the door is that of a teenage girl, probably around sixteen years old, well defined features and a weak looking pair of eyes, by all accounts a beauty in the making.

'She'll have it rough in this new world.' Yet after seeing such a flower Chaos barely batted an eye at her, if he died, that's as far as he goes on his path if not, then he'll keep struggling, he's come to peace with the possibility of his death as even if he rests, the wounds he sustained are very serious.

The girl, Pan, looked towards the injured wolf on the ground with trepidation in her heart and hesitation in her eyes.

"The news said these new creatures can make you stronger, so i'll kill you...i'll...kill... you." She spoke clearly unwilling to kill this creature, and in the end her morals prevailed over her rational and she dropped her pipe, shutting the door behind her and barricading it.

"You lucky little thing, you should be Chaos, right? I'm one of the new employee's here, I was supposed to start today, but look at how that ended up." She said sitting down right next to Chaos putting his head on her lap.

By now Chaos had drifted off the land of dreams, out cold, but inside his body the energy given by god was working hard to heal his body and keep him alive, but they needed time and food to speed up the process.

"I'll...I'll bandage you up...So don't bit me, okay?" Pan said to the unconscious Chaos, meanwhile reaching towards her backpack, pulling it off getting the first aid kit.

One hour later.

The entire zoo was now silent as a cemetery, one could hear a pin drop like a bomb exploding in a silence as deep as this one.

Within the snack bar Chaos was waking up and Pan was asleep breathing lightly, with ups and downs in breathing speed.

'She must be having a nightmare.' Within a half a second Chaos was completely aware of his surroundings, his ribs were setting in place nicely and he could move again though nothing too much or else the wounds would split open and this time he would not survive with just a first aid kit.

Chaos after confirming the surrounding licked her face, "Hey hey stop that." She said laughingly waking up till she realized that it was Chaos, backing off she started sweating.

"You're awake, that's good, well then i guess i should leave then!" Pan said trying to get out of their as fast as possible, but Chaos moved to stand in front of the door shaking his head.

'If you leave now you'll be torn to shreds.' Chaos said in his head.

"Your not going to eat me right?" Pan said nervous now since Chaos would not let her leave and to her an adult wolf with the power to take down a superhuman was stopping her from leaving.

'No i won't human would taste disgusting with all of those artificial chemicals.' Chaos thought feeling disgusted at the prospect of eating a human, thus shaking his head again.

"So then you understand what I'm saying?" She asked and this time Chaos nodded his head feeling a bit irritated.

'Are you stupid? I've been showing off my intelligence since i was born! This is why humans are on the bottom now!'

"Wow, that's insane! Can the other wolves do that to, or the other animals for that matter?" She asked.

Chaos shook his head sneering in his heart 'All of those guys are so boring and stupid how could they learn human language.'

And it was true, most creatures in the world can't understand human language, but they could discern the general meaning based on the body language and tone of voice.

"Then, slap the ground for how many fingers i'm holding up." She said still disbelieving, from this Chaos rolled his eyes showing clear disdain and went back to lying down away from the girl.

"I see." Pan said disappointed that he did not do as she said.

"Then why won;t you let me leave?" She asked, ' a constant chatter box this one is.' not even opening his eyes Chaos points towards the mutant rat.

"Their are more mutant beasts outside, but its dead silent, so then that means there hunting and lis..." Once her open monologue thoughts reached that point she immediately shut her mouth going dead silent.

'If their really are mutant beasts outside than it means their hunting around the zoo, or else why would it be so quiet that even the crickets are silent.' She though, before slapping her self mentally for being so stupid.

The day passed in deathly silence, during this time both Chaos and Pan were undergoing changes that neither were aware of.

The next morning.

'ROAR!'

'BANG BANG BANG!'

Both Pan and Chaos jumped up this morning, in the distance the sounds of battle echoed to every corner of the zoo.

'BOOM!'

"It sounds like the military are here! We are saved!" From a nearby trash bin a voice screamed out, and a person jumped out of the bin running towards the sounds of battle.

Many others did the same, small families and lone survivors started heading over.

But for Chaos hearing the roar of the creature fighting it was very clear.

'The soldiers are going to lose, that beast roar alone shook my entire soul, it will kill all of the soldiers and then murder everyone else.' With this thought Chaos' pupils dilated, over the night he had regained about seventy five percent of his strength back.

"Chaos lets goo to the soldiers! They are here to save us!" She said excitedly but Chaos moved in front of her shaking his head and instead walking outside and pointing towards the zoo's exit.

'That's right, Chaos is a beast, the soldiers would kill him.' Pan thought, feeling smart for her misunderstanding.

"I'm going to go to the soldiers, you escape, if fortune has it we will find each other again." Pan said turning around and moving to where the sounds of battle were now dying down.

'You stupid Idiot!' Chaos thought biting her shirt from behind and dragging her away out of the zoo and into the parking lot.

"Hey! Chaos what are you doi..." But before she could finish scolding him, the screams came, not of the beast but of the people, from the zoo's entrance screaming could be heard as well as beast roars.

'That was fast than I thought.' Chaos thought, letting go of Pan and pointing once more to escape, this time Pan did not speak but rather directly started running away from the zoo, the screams dying out fast and the area going silent once again.
