Earth
Year: 2077
Location: Unknown
Madeleine shivered in anticipation, licking her chapped lips as she clutched the gun with both hands and close to her heaving chest, the undulated outer walls of the gas station they had just stumbled upon digging into her poorly clothed back as she struggled to keep herself still.
They had been starving for too many days and the lack of nourishment within their organisms was already starting to show its negative effects.
Her sky blue eyes darted back to Tate, her best friend and the closest thing to a paternal figure as he'd been the one to take care of her and basically raise her since she'd lost her parents right after the start of the pandemic.
She smiled as for the millionth time, she recounted the way he'd found her five years ago, wandering the streets all alone and starving.
She still couldn't fathom how she'd managed to survive on her own for almost a year, after the death of both her parents, thanks to the virus.
Right on cue, her stomach cramped in pain once again, making her snap back to reality.
She watched Tate give her a signal nod, right before he swiftly turned and slammed his raggedy boot against the weathered door, sending it flying against the wall.
Holding their guns pointed, they carefully stepped past the threshold, the man being the first to enter the worn-down establishment.
He protectively held the girl close behind his back as his calculative eyes scanned the area for any other scavenging intruders, entirely pleased when he found none.
"All clear," He informed her, both rushing to roam every shelf and storage space for something edible.
And though the place was unfortunately fairly empty, they still found some useful things like band-aids, matches and even a few cans of old peanuts.
She didn't waste a single moment as she could still feel her stomach hurt so badly so she opened a can and shoved a fistful of stale peanuts into her mouth, sighing in contentment once she'd swallowed.
It felt good to have something to fill their bellies with after days of starvation.
"This is definitely better than that skinny-ass rat," She commented as they kept searching around, earning a nod of approval from her protector.
They rounded another section of shelves before they stumbled upon a simple white door in the wall, both looking at each other for a moment.
Tate moved forward and slammed his boot against it, raising his gun just for safety before he carefully stepped inside, followed by Maddie who was still munching on her precious peanuts.
Only the moment they turned on the lights and finally saw what was hiding inside, they both broke into a joyous laughter.
"Oh my god!" She cried in disbelief, eyes wide as saucers as she gazed at the stacks of candies, snacks and bags of coffee.
She couldn't even remember the last time she'd had a coffee, let alone a snack or a candy!
"Sweet holy Jesus!" Tate exclaimed as his grey eyes fell upon a box filled with bottles of liquor, like a man thirsted in the desert immediately rushing to grab a bottle and unscrew its cap, taking long and greedy gulps right after.
It'd been a while since he'd last enjoyed the taste and sweet buzz of an alcoholic beverage.
"We have to load up the Cammie," She told him, referring to the old and beat-up Cammaro waiting outside that had been their home from a while now, knowing that they would have to take as much as they can and hurry up since there were chances that they could be followed inside and have another fight for the food with other starving people.
God knows how much she hated it. She didn't enjoy hurting other people since she knew they were only trying to survive, just like her and her Tate.
Unfortunately, the world abided by only one rule; kill or be killed.
"Come on, we have wasted so much time already," She told the man as she snatched the bottle from his hand and took a long and hearthy swig, earning herself a narrowed look from him.
"What? I turned nineteen yesterday!" She hurried to defend her actions right before taking another swig, only to have her bottle taken away right after.
"Hey!"
"I want you to be able to drive," He told her as he put the cap back on the bottle then moved to place it back into the box, together proceeding to take as many boxes as they could and carry them to the car.
They had just finished, taking a few things to eat and the opened bottle of liquor to the front seats with them when the faint rumble of engines touched Tate's sensitive hearing, despite his respectable age.
"Shit. We have to hurry," He told the girl as they both scrambled to their seats and slammed the car doors closed, immediately taking off with screeching tires.
Madeleine's heart wildly pumped within her chest as her eyes kept darting to the rearview mirror, her trembling fingers hovering over the gun strapped to her tattered jeans.
And soon enough, a black pick-up truck came into view from behind, loudly roaring as it kept gaining in on their old Cammie.
"Oh no...S-scavengers," She shakily whispered under her breath, her limbs trembling in terror as she already knew that the chances for her and her Tate to survive after a Scavenger raid were extremely slim. They were pretty well-known for their ruthlessness.
"You know what you have to do, Mads," The man told her with a quick glance as he drove, earning himself a quick and shaky nod.
Eyes wide, she thickly swallowed before climbing on her seat and reaching for Tate's shotgun from the backseat.
Tightly holding it to her chest, she then rolled down the window and leaned her upper body over, carefully taking her aim. And with an exhale, she took a shot, unfortunately only managing to shoot off one the truck's side mirrors.
"Damnit!" She cursed under her breath, preparing to take another shot when the sight of what happened next had her gasping in utter horror.
"Oh my god!"
"What?" Tate asked back, his gaze immediately darting to the rearview mirror, only to widen in pure shock as well.
There were two individuals on the back of the truck, holding a semi-automatic gun pointed straight at their Cammie.
His boot floored the gas pedal, going as fast as they could. Yet it turned out completely useless as as soon as they started shooting the rain of bullets hit both back tires, making the car flip into the air for a few times before it slammed into the ground.
Maddie's ears loudly rung, her vision blurry as her mind struggled to comprehend what just happened, feeling nothing but pain in her entire body.
She groaned as she tried to move, her eyes quickly darting to Tate's seat.
"Popsie?" She weakly called, her breathing starting to come out in short and uneven puffs as she received no response.
"Popsie please," She called out again, groaning in pain as she managed to flip herself onto her knees since the car was now upside down.
She grabbed onto his shoulder and lightly shook him off, whimpering in utter horror as his head lastly turned, noticing his bloodied face and neck.
"Popsie!" She screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks as she struggled to help him move, completely oblivious at the sound of a vehicle approaching.
"Just...go..." He croaked out, too drained to even try and look at her. His whole body hurt so bad and judging by the gut wrenching pain striking inside every time he breathed, he knew pretty damn well that he only had minutes left.
"W-what?"
"Just fucking go you stupid kid!" He roared at her with his last ounce of strength, praying that she would manage to save herself. He couldn't bare the thought that she could get caught and tortured by those savages. He knew exactly what they would do to her if they caught her.
"No...I'm not leaving you!" She cried between hot tears, but before she could even try and touch him again a rough hand wrapped around her ankle, forcefully dragging her out of the vehicle with a loud scream.
"NOO! Popsieeee!"
She wailed her heart out, both out of fear and hurt as one of the scavengers grabbed her by her matted hair and forced her to stand up, meeting the hungry gaze of a raggedy and dirtied young male, wickedly grinning at her.
"Hello doll,"
She instantly started to thrash and scream in his hold, even managing to land a kick in his groin.
He groaned in pain, shoving her to the ground in anger.
She landed with a dull thud, hitting the back of her head against the asphalt, dark spots dancing in her vision as she stared up at the four males now surrounding her, making crude jokes as they hungrily gazed down at her.
"It's Dale's turn now, isn't it?"
"Come on, Dale, you can go first,"
"Can't wait to have my turn, I bet this bitch is gonna scream,"
"I wanna fuck her in the ass. Come on, we can do it at once. Dale is gonna fuck her pussy while I can have her ass and Joe can fuck her mouth," She faintly heard one of them say as she struggled to get up.
"Hey! What about me?" Another one said just as she managed to roll over her stomach, and just as she got up on her knees one of them yanked her by the hair again, making her scream in pain.
"Shut up you fucking dog!" One of them said but before he could give her a kick he suddenly found himself with a bullet planted within the back of his head, immediately falling to the ground.
"What the-"
A loud and fast row of shots followed, making the girl scream and duck her head between her arms, crouching on the ground.
Deep, gravely silence followed, the girl letting out a shaky exhale before finally daring to raise her head and look around her, noticing the four bodies lying around.Like a newborn cub, she got up on unsteady legs and looked back to what was left of their old Cammie, breaking out into a pained sob as she could notice Tate dangling inside all motionless.With tears streaming down her cheeks again she took a few trembling and painful steps in his direction, only to have them falter as soon as she accidentally noticed the outline of a tall and bulky body steadily approaching down the road.Furrowing her brows, she took a better look, noticing his olive green attire and black army boots, along with the heavy gun strapped to his thigh.Trailing her gaze to his face, she looked at that black mask covering his nose and mouth, immediately realizing what he was.BloodHound.Her eyes widened, alarms going off in her head right before her body turned in the opposite direction on its own accord
Madeleine's heartbeat increased, a horrible scream erupting from within her lips as she jolted awake from a nightmare where her Tate was dying all over again, right before she got caught and raped by those disgusting scavengers.Her breath came out in short and laboured pants, feeling her skin sticky and damp with sweat as her eyelids fluttered for a few moments, adjusting to the bright light coming from above.An explosion of white greeted her as soon as she looked around, taking in the bare white walls, apart from the small round table and single bed she was sitting on, ultimately noticing the fourth wall was actually mirror-made as she caught herself staring at her own reflection, only now noticing what she was wearing.She was only dressed in a simple white tank top and a pair of white cotton underwear instead of wearing her raggedy jeans and hoodie like she were in those last awake moments, the thought of that alien undressing her making her shudder unpleasantly.Slowly and hesit
Few days passed yet the girl didn't even dare touch the food, despite the fact that she was basically starving.She anxiously paced the room like a restless lion in its cage, her stomach cramping in protest as she held an internal battle with herself, torn between the hunger and the fear of what could possibly happen to her if she ate it.Oh fuck it."Are you sure she's ready?" Dr. Nasri asked her co-worker as they watched the girl crazily pace around her room."Well, she's completely healed, and we cannot waste anymore time, you know that," Sasha answered matter-of-factly, giving his co-worker a look.Dr. Nasri blew out a tired breath,"Well let's hope that this one will survive," She crossed her fingers whilst hopefully looking at the girl.The other experiments didn't exactly succeed as they couldn't even survive the first three months of pregnancy; the BloodHounds' offsprings being way too powerful and life-draining for their Earth-raised bodies. That is if they somehow survived b
Madeleine sat over the bed, her back resting in between the two corners of the room as she held her knees close to her chest.Her tortured mind kept reeling back to those hazy moments, reminiscing that stabbing pain as that alien monster forced his way into her, the way he held her as he invaded her body and that last, unbelievably intense and overwhelming sensation...Help me...Those words kept repeating themselves into her mind, making her fret as she incessantly wondered why did he whisper those words to her.Help him with what?How could she?She was the one trapped, locked into that stupid room for torture, not the other way around!Her gaze narrowed as she looked at the mirror wall, a wave of anger surging within her.She had to do something. She had to escape somehow. She could not let these monsters torture her and drive her any more insane.She was going to fight. No matter what.She had to at least try. She owed it to herself.And Tate.Another stray tear fell from the corn
Dr. Nasri sat right next to the sterile white countertop, taking notes as she observed on the screen the reaction between a chemical compound and a small Negative blood sample while the BloodHound stood in his usual spot, frozen like a statue and arm at ready, since he was also her designated guardian.The habitual silence stretching through the lab got mildly interrupted as the small hissing sound of the glass door sliding open tore through, indicating that someone has entered.The BloodHound remained unmoving as Dr. Nazarov stormed inside, wearing an unsatisfied frown plastered over his juvenile features."She is still not impregnated yet..." He informed his colleague with a sigh, running a hand through his blonde locks in utter frustration."What? How?" Neylani's dark brows shot up with evident confusion since they had never even heard of such thing happening before.The BloodHounds were creatures designated to succeed in every single aspect, their bodies being genetically enhanced
Madeleine sat on her knees over the bed, her awaiting food long forgotten as she stared at herself through the mirror wall, her gaze unfocused as those words still repeated themselves within her mind, over and over again.Help me stop this...Was he somehow a prisoner too?She couldn't help but wonder, a frown marring her features as she stared at the same wall long and hard.Why were these people doing this anyway? What did they really want from her? Aside from sending that alien monster to have his way with her and keeping her captive within these walls, they hadn't done anything else to her. Yet.She shuddered as her mind pictured various scenarios where she was being tortured and prodded at, making her involuntarily wrap her arms around herself for some sort of protection.She wanted to escape so badly... But how could she?She didn't even have a single tool she could use since her eating ustensils were made out of some sort of organic cardboard -aside from the steel tray, which s
"Come with me,"She hesitated as she stared at the intimidating creature before her, letting out another frightened scream as the lights suddenly turned red, a loud alarm blaring through the building.Knowing what that meant, the BloodHound immediately let go of the gentle and calm pleading and shot forward to just grab her instead, earning himself another scream as he threw her over his shoulder and started moving as fast as he could.There was such little time.The frail little human being kept struggling and crying over his back as he shattered a glass door with just a strong kick, his gloved hand hovering above the gun strapped to his thigh as his eyes quickly scanned the area for any threats.All clear.The shards of glass crunched under his combat boots as he stepped past the threshold and fastly moved down the hallway, dead set on his destination; the pods.However, as soon as they reached another corner, he abruptly stopped as he could hear the sounds of heavily breathing, bei
What kinds of monsters were these people?She wondered as the BloodHound kept dragging her after him, down a hallway and to the left, then to the right and so on, her mind slightly dizzy and her feet aching as she struggled to keep up.And why the sudden change? Why would this creature want to save her?Her gaze momentarily fell to that gloved hand wrapped around her wrist, failing to even notice when he had suddenly taken a halt, her forehead inevitably smacking against his bare back.She stumbled back with an "oof", mildly rubbing her forehead before she took a step and warily peered from behind his broad shoulder, noticing that same young woman she'd only seen once before into her sterile prison along with a young male she'd never seen before.Both looked pretty shocked as their gazes kept shifting between her and the BloodHound, the latter wasting but a single breath before he expertly pulled out that gun strapped to his thigh and pointed it straight at them, making the dark-skinn
She let out a long and displeased moan, protesting at that annoying feel of her head hurting so much. It felt so big and inflated she swore it would pop off after just a little bit of pressure added.Her eyelids were still closed yet as she slowly regained awareness and feel in her limbs, a swift and scorching wave of heat warmed her from the inside out, leaving a trail of dampness all over her skin.She bit back a tired yawn and only then did she realize how scratchy and dry her mouth and throat felt, her instincts pushing her to hunt for at least a drop of water. She was parched. Completely dehydrated.So she tried to stretch out her numbed limbs before anything else, her muscles straining as she tried and tried...to no avail.Her brows furrowed, mere seconds before her eyelids snapped open, meeting a very unfamiliar ceiling. Its dull and weathered beige paint glared right back at her, giving her no hints whatsoever of where she could possibly be and what happened to her when the co
Madeleine swore that she could feel the room spinning with her, tumbling upside down over and over again as she pushed her chair back and wobbly rose up to her feet, James’ features blurring from time to time as she watched him peer right back at her with an equally tired frown.“So...do you mind if we crash here for a little while? I mean just until we figure out what to do and where we could head to next,” She sweetly said with that nice smile still plastered over her lips, looking down at him with a twinge of hope.“Sure,” The young man shrugged in reply, mildly yawning as that strong alcohol coursing through his system had already started to wear him down, making him feel so sleepy and lethargic. That hand holding up his chin wavered just a little bit, destabilizing his position and making him stumble forward, almost on the verge of face-planting on the dining table as he managed to straighten himself back up at the very last moment, his gaze droopy and barely focusing as he looke
“Oh my god, that is pretty fucked-up!” James exclaimed with revulsion and sadness after everything Madeleine had told him about the BloodHounds and everything they had to endure back in those facilities, day by day whilst the humans roamed the streets mostly free and wild, completely clueless.“Yeah, I know,” She agreed with a sad look of her own, watching him pour himself and her another shot of vodka.“What about your lady friend? What is her deal?” He asked after a moment, his blue eyes straying from Madeleine for just a second, to give the strange and incredibly hot chick a quick glance, observing her as she aimlessly trudged around through his living room.“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,”His interest only piqued at the sound of Madeleine’s reply, his brow raising as he looked back at her.“Try me,”She quickly donned down the glass of vodka first, the young male mimicking her actions as he closely watched her, eager for an answer.“She’s actually a martian,”“What? What
Hearing some odd shuffling coming from behind her, Madeleine’s brows furrowed with intrigue, her eyes immediately widening after turning around, shocked to notice Meoni parading around completely naked, her dress discarded somewhere behind on the path whilst Emerick was already working at his belt before going for the button and zipper too.What the hell?!?He was almost on the verge of taking his pants off when the girl abruptly stopped him at the very last moment, shouting with alarm,“Wait, no! Stop! Oh my god, that’s not what I meant!”She quickly ran back to retrieve Meoni’s dress, both the princess and Emerick seemingly confused as they silently watched her fret around.“I didn’t mean that you should get rid of them now!” She exclaimed, a little out of breath as she rushed to help Meoni back into her dress while Emerick was zipping and buttoning his pants back up.“God! I swear I feel like I’m running around with mindless little toddlers sometimes!” She complained out loud, thro
The EarthYear: 2077Location: American ContinentMeoni’s bare toes wiggled in the yellowish fine-grained dirt, her big brown eyes watching with interest and fascination as her delicate and once-clean feet were now coated in dust.She raised her gaze, feeling those warm UV rays generated from their planet’s star caressing her skin as she dared take a few steps forward through the sea of tall and dry-looking sprouts, her fingers reaching out to feel the texture of their stiff-looking leaves and stalks.“What is this?”“Corn. We landed in a cornfield,” Madeleine answered from right behind her as she closely followed, lips curled up into a joyous smile as she watched Meoni take her sweet time to discover and accustom herself with her new surroundings.“And what is this?” She soon asked again as a gentle breeze threaded through her black locks and caressed her skin, making her close her eyes for a moment and take a deep breath, visibly entranced by the new feeling.“The wind,” Madeleine a
She could feel her own heartbeat, so crazily drumming within her chest as she peered at his otherworldly face, so deliciously overwhelmed by the way he kept gazing at her so intensely and with passion, their bodies so close to each other as he gently held her by the waist. And with a fleeting glance to her lips he leaned closer and touched hers with his, slowly moving into a sweet and wet kiss, that same kiss gradually becoming hotter and more fervent as he skilfully licked and nibbled like a starved lover.A gentle brush of his skin against her hardened nipples made her realize that they were actually both completely naked, the girl barely having the time to curiously peer downwards between them before she suddenly found herself turned around and facing the princess instead, surprised to notice her standing completely bare before her too.Eyes hooded with blatant desire, the princess stepped closer towards the girl, taking her entirely unprepared for what was about to happen as she p
Both Emerick and Meoni sat closeby and watched with fascination and interest as Madeleine’s bubbly laughter filled the pod for the thousandth time in the span of few earthian hours, her sky blue eyes still glued to the wide screen and having yet to move from that same position over the bed as she continuously watched short motion pictures of small felines in various situations.Another one rolled in, displaying a mature-sized domestic feline produce a peculiar set of mating calls as it intently stared at a wall before breaking into an aimless sprint and actually managing to somehow stumble and hurt itself, provoking another fit of high-pitched giggles from Madeleine’s part, the corners of her eyes filled with tears again as she hurried to wipe them away.“These creatures are very confusing. I don’t understand. How can this small animal be so agile and yet so...dumb at the same time?” Meoni questioned with curiosity after having watched so many similar videos depicting the animal in qu
The sound of a soft ding reached Madeleine's ears in her semi-unconscious state, startling her awake whilst a robotical voice followed, spewing something completely unintelligible.A displeased moan bothered her, lastly realizing it was actually her own as she rather slowly and groggily came back to her senses, taking her time to adjust back to reality as she languidly moved and yawned.Some parts of her felt sore whereas her state of mind seemed so uncharacteristically peaceful as if she'd just had the best sleep she's ever had in her entire life, almost like back when she was still her parents' child, safe, happy and without a single care in the world.Slowly and gently, she opened her eyelids, mildly squinting at the glaringly bright and pristine white ceiling that greeted her, feeling her eyes water as she let out another hearty yawn."Rise and shine, sweet-cheeks," Out of nowhere, a feminine voice rather boldly beamed at her with just a hint of sarcasm, making her abruptly stop a
The bathroom door slid open with a small hiss, the illyrian princess watching as the BloodHound exited with powerful and determined strides, his combat-trained body completely nude and damp, small droplets of water still dripping from the tips of his hair and certain areas of skin.He carefully cradled the apparently unconscious little earthian in between his arms, her body equally bare and wet, leaving small trails of water over the floor as he carried her all the way towards the bed."The Alpha will have your head for this. And your mating organ," Meoni observed in laxian language, keeping a neutral expression."He can try," Emerick dismissively answered back, keeping his attention trained on the little human as he gently placed her on the bed."I should tell you, your blatant rebellion against the Alpha and his authority still leads me to believe that you might be his halfling after all," The princess continued with conviction, watching him swiftly turn around at the sound of her w
