When Everything ends
Hey everybody! This is a idea i have had for a while stirring in my head. Finally decided to put it down and share it. It is far from done, this is just the first chapter! Enjoy!
Ch.1
Spyke woke slowly as bright sunlight warmed his face. He sat up and yawned, stretching as the sunlight washed over his scaly body. Shaking his head, Spyke grabbed his phone and turned it on seeing he had a missed call from his mate. He dialed the number he knew by heart and got up out of bed and got dressed as the phone rang.
"Hello?" said a voice.
"Hey hun, you called?" Spyke said heading out into the living room of his apartment.
"Oh yeah, sorry if I woke you up. I was just feeling lonely and needed to talk to someone."
Spyke sighed and turned on the coffee maker and sat down at the kitchen table. "Ryan, you didn't wake me, don't be sorry. And I don't want you feeling lonely. I know you are across the country from me right now but just know that I'm mentally there next to you through all your classes and everything."
"Yeah I know, I just really hate this school. I wish you could come kidnap me and take me away." Ryan chuckled through the phone making Spyke grin.
"Maybe someday, but right now your schooling is important." Spyke said standing, grabbing a cup for his coffee.
"I hope so. I'm not sure how much longer I can last away from you love." Ryan said. "Well hey, I have to get going. Class is going to start soon. Promise to call once I'm done ok?"
"Allright I guess. I love you and remember, don't feel lonely." Spyke said pouring his coffee.
"Ok and I love you too."
Spyke took a sip of the coffee and shook his head and sighed. He and Ryan had been together since junior high six years ago. Once high school was over Ryan went off to college across the country to study astronomy leaving him back home. They kept their relationship strong, but it was hard with the long distance factor. Spyke took another drink, thinking to himself when there was a knock as his front door. He opened it to see his best friends Skylar and Amanda standing in his doorway.
"Spyke!!!" Skylar said spreading his bat wings and pulling the dragon into his arms.
"Wha...what are you guys doing here? You guys weren't supposed to be in the state till next week." Spyke said as he was yanked into the hug.
"Well its complicated." Amanda said smiling and wrapped her own scaley dragon arms around Spyke.
"Well please do come in." Spyke said breaking free from the bat's tight hug. They all walked in and sat on the couch. "Skylar I thought you were still overseas fighting for the army?"
"Well, was, is the correct word. Have you not seen the news?" Skylar said.
"No. you know I don't watch that crap." Spyke said wrinkling his nose.
"Well the whole country over there decided that we should not be there so they attacked with everything they had. So we got pulled out and sent back home." Skylar said placing his paw on Amanda's leg and smiled. "But there are some saying that now they are getting ready to attack us here."
"Geez I hope not. That would send us into the next world war." Spyke said thinking of Ryan.
"Well if things did happen the way they are saying, I think we need to group together with everyone in the group and head to the hills. I have a place where we can go. Very secluded. One way in, one way out and in the middle of nowhere in the forest."
Spyke sighed and stood up shaking his head. "First things first though. Ryan needs to be here if everything goes to shit. No exceptions. I'm not about to go through a world war without my mate next to me, safe." Spyke walked over to the TV and turned it on, changing the channel to the news before sitting back down.
"Yu do realize that where he is going to school is close to where they are going to attack first right? It would be a suicide mission to go get him." Skylar said.
"I don't care. You would do the same were you in my position." Spyke said shaking his head.
'Hello and thank you for tuning in. This is an emergency broadcast. There has been an attack on our soil. We are at war. Anybody with loved ones, family members, wives or husbands, children over on the east coast, we urge you to contact them any way possible and tell them to evacuate immediately.'
Spyke slowly looked at his friends before quickly reaching into his pocket for his phone.
"Spyke, stay calm they didn't say where we were attacked. He is fine." Amanda said.
"I don't care. He needs to be here." Spyke said, the phone still ringing. "He's not picking up. I...I need to know he is ok." He said starting to panic. He was about to dial the number again when his phone rang. He quickly answered it to have relief flood over him as he heard his mate's voice through the receiver. "Hey Spyke I'm fine don't worry. I'm going home to pack my things ok?"
"Ryan, remember the gas station where we met that one fox?" Spyke said pacing the room.
"Yeah of course. Why?" Ryan said sounding concerned.
"Once you get everything packed, go there. Wait for me, I will be there soon. I love you and call if you need anything. And I damn well mean anything ok?" Spyke said stopping to see Skylar and Amanda looking at him with concern in their eyes.
"o..ok hun. Don't get hurt getting here, and you call if need something as well. I love you. Stay safe and I will see you in a bit I promise." Ryan said before ending the call.
Spyke slipped his phone back into his pocket and thought for a moment.
"Spyke, it's going to take you too long in a normal car." Skylar said. "Take my bike. It's faster and will get you there in little over a day if you hurry."
"Really? You sure?" Spyke asked astonished that his friend would be offering to let him take his prized possession.
"Yeah. Like you said I would be doing the same thing you are about to do if I was you. Keys are in the visor of my car, and the bikes down in storage here in town."
"Thank you so much sky. It really means a lot." Spyke said starting to head for the door grabbing his jacket on the way.
"Hold on, before you go. You need to know where to go once you get back. We are going to get everybody together here and head to the hills like I said." Skylar said pulling out his phone and opening up the maps. He showed Spyke the directions and where it was.
"Damn that is secluded." Spyke said.
"Spyke, be careful please. We consider you and Ryan family. Stay safe and meet us there once you can." Amanda said kissing Spyke's cheek.
