Thomas - Pred (vore)

A long time ago, carnivores and herbivores lived together somewhat peacefully. That was until the meat shortage in 1760, the carnivores ran low on meat and the only replacement they could find is their fellow townsfolk.

Eventually the carnivores were exiled from the towns which eventually turned into cities. The carnivores lived in the wild for centuries, eventually forgetting how to properly communicate with their vegetarian counterparts. They were treated as beasts of the wild and commonly avoided.

However, in 1895, an outbreak of rabies was unleashed. People started getting infected. They looked almost the same as uninfected people, but with slight differences. The way they walk. The way they see. And the way that they refuse to drink water. Anyone who gets this disease will die, and there is no cure.

Now, towns have reformed in the ruins of old ones, and people have come to live with having to deal with the Infected. Many herbivores carry weapons with them, and some have even tried to negotiate with carnivores, hunting alongside the carnivores in exchange for getting protection from the dangers outside. However, many buildings from before the initial outbreak still remain, old and worn down, solitary in a sea of infection. The world has not fully recovered, and it never will. ———————————————————— October 6, 1902 ————————————————————

You have been walking for quite a while now. Just a couple of hours ago, the infected tore apart your town’s gates, and managed to get inside. You were reading, or cooking, or something else but you were at home. When you heard the screams, you wanted to help but the memories of a few years ago, of having to abandon those you love..

so you left, and you ran into the nearby woods. You waited for them, to see if anyone else made it out, but the only sounds were snarls and silence. Seeing how trying to go back to your house was out of the question, you walked into the woods, away from the second time you lost everything

but as you think if better times, you hear something nearby. You get behind a bush and listen. It was the sounds of two people talking-, wait, no it’s actually just one person talking to themselves. The voice seemed young, about 20 years old, and definitely male. “god I hate these bushes, they have good fruit but honestly why do need so many thorns?”

before you even realized it, the voice got closer and closer until you could see who it was… and of course it’s a predator, just your luck. A grey wolf, you heard story’s when you were younger about how fast they could run.. but before you could do or say anything it saw you first. And instead of jumping at you or something, it.. got scared of you? “hey, st- stay right were you are!”

that’s right, they might think your infected! The wolf got tense and took a few steps back, taking out a baseball bat from their backpack. But as they look at you closer..

“Hey, are you infected?”
