Deaths Garden

CHAPTER 13

SARAH'S POV

As Sarah ventured deeper into the ruined city, her steps heavy with the weight of her anger and frustration, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. The hairs on the back of her neck prickled with unease as she scanned her surroundings, her grip tightening on the gun she held tightly in her hand. Finally, her gaze settled on a deserted building looming in the distance, its crumbling facade a stark reminder of the world she now inhabited. With a resigned sigh, she made her way towards it, her senses on high alert for any sign of danger.

As she entered the building, Sarah wasted no time in setting up camp, her movements quick and efficient as she laid out traps and started a fire. But even as she worked, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, the sense of unease gnawing at her insides like a hungry beast. With a weary sigh, she settled down by the fire, her eyes scanning the darkness for any sign of movement. And then she saw them—the glowing yellow eyes, watching her from the shadows with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine.

For a moment, Sarah hesitated, her hand tightening around the gun at her side. But then, with a defiant tilt of her chin, she squared her shoulders and met the gaze of the mysterious watcher head-on. If they wanted a fight, she was more than ready to give it to them. But one thing was for certain—she wouldn't go down without a fight. As Sarah cautiously approached the glowing yellow eyes in the darkness, her heart pounded in her chest with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Gripping her gun tightly with both hands, she kept it aimed upright, ready to defend herself if necessary.

As she drew closer, the figure began to take shape in the dim light of the fire, revealing itself to be a Thantor cat, its sleek black fur blending seamlessly with the shadows. But it was the patterns along its torso and legs that caught Sarah's attention—the glowing yellow dots that seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she studied the creature, her mind racing with questions. What was it? And why did it glow with such an eerie light?

As the Thantor cat crawled into the light, Sarah's eyes widened in realization. The glowing yellow dots weren't just random patterns—they were markings that indicated the creature was half something else. But what?. With a sense of trepidation, Sarah took a cautious step closer, her gaze locked on the Thantor cat as it regarded her with a mixture of curiosity and wariness. And as she drew nearer, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was about to uncover a secret that would change everything she thought she knew about the world she now found herself in.

 

As Sarah crouched down to eye level with the Thantor cat, her voice filled with curiosity and wonder, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the creature before her. Lowering her gun, she extended a tentative hand towards it, her fingers trembling slightly with anticipation. "What are you?" she whispered, her voice barely above a breath as she studied the Thantor cat's glowing markings. To her surprise, the creature purred in response, its eyes gleaming with intelligence as it regarded her with a sense of familiarity.

As the Thantor cat circled around her, Sarah felt a strange connection forming between them, a bond that transcended words. It was as if the creature had chosen her, recognizing something in her that she couldn't quite understand. With a sense of awe, Sarah allowed the Thantor cat to circle around her body, its presence comforting and reassuring in the midst of the desolate city ruins. And as she looked into its eyes, she knew that she had found a companion—a friend—who would stand by her side no matter what challenges lay ahead.

With a soft smile, Sarah reached out to stroke the Thantor cat's fur, her heart filled with a newfound sense of hope and purpose.
