Feral Heart

"I won't let go of what they did..."

"The Past will never be forgiven..."

"We'll make them pay..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And even after it all was so happy and joyful, it had to come to this.
Even after the belly rubs, the meat scraps, the loving pats, and the walks in the park, they went and turned on us.
As much as they said they loved us, they just lock us away and forget what we had shared. What we had known for so long.
Well, we won't tolerate that. No we won't. We're going to get up and show them what we can do when our trust is put to the test. 
And we'll do it together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The year 2037. The dog population has decreased rapidly, leaving them to a dangerously low number. Certain breeds died off, and attempts to bring them back have failed. Households with a dog are lucky enough to have one because of the decreasing number of our household companions. This year, few countries still have a dog population, leaving people puzzled and heartbroken. 
Man's best friend is confused. They don't understand why they seem to be dying off so quickly. They've been in such large numbers before this year, and then they just....go. The dogs don't know what the problem is. They desperately want to know, of course, and attempt several times to find information. All of them failed.
Until one fateful day. 
The government lets the world know what they've been doing across the globe. Oh, they sure did. Broadcasts, newspaper articles everywhere tell of one thing. 
The K9Reducer.
A small pill that gets into the dog's digestive track and shuts it down completely, then works to stop the lungs from functioning properly. The dog is killed quickly.
Apparently, the government thought that it was time to rid the world of the dogs to make room for more people. Push them out, and we could come in larger numbers, they thought. The humans were oddly on board with the decision, and put the pill in their dogs food and let them die. Soon, the dog population was dying out, and soon, it will be no more. Sweet victory for the humans.
Wrong.
The dogs heard all about this little scheme. They were pissed and just plain disgusted. They could hardly believe what the humans had done. This was the reason they were dying out. A pill, made by HUMANS.
It made them mad. 
So mad, that they turned violent against people, and sought to destroy them. The dogs were fed up with them, so they decided to try and kill them.
The humans thought that this was an effect of the pill, so they took the surviving dogs to a huge, closed off part of their cities, and left their dogs their to die. Then, continued on as if all was well.
But he dogs were not finished. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


2043. 
You are one of these dogs. What the humans did gas left a stone on your stomach and has made you cold. All you want now is revenge, and you soon will get it. 
For in time, the dogs will break out and get what they want. Soon, the humans will taste our wrath. 
And it will be a sweet victory for us.

The Home-base for the dogs.

This old town was once the home-base of many people.
They each had homes, jobs, and families. They loved their town, and everyone seemed to know each other. It was just how they lived. Here, everyone were friends.
This town had it all; shops, houses, restaurants, a local pool, and even a playground and dog park. It wasn't possible to ignore the town; it was simply amazing. At night, the lights were impossible to miss. The sight was pure beauty. 
One thing you noticed at first wasn't the buildings, though. It was the dogs. It seemed every family had a dog, big or small. That, in fact, was how it got its name.
Dogview. 
You can't argue with the name when you see it. Dogs were very popular. But it wasn't just pet dogs you saw, no. You probably saw the strays.
See, Dogview wasn't just a town. It was kind of a drop-off for dogs. When a person didn't want their dog, or they just couldn't care for it any more, they drove to Dogview, dropped off their dog, and left. 
This was very common. And it soon became a problem. People couldn't take the dogs being around, and they packed their bags. When they left, though, they left their dogs behind fend for themselves.
This cycle continued until there was nobody left. No humans, no business, nothing. It was an abandoned town. It was removed from the maps, and no one even knew it existed anymore.
But the dogs still remained, angry at the humans for what they did. They claimed Dogview they're own, and from then on, lived there. They welcomed strays, ad lived as one society. When a new dog crossed into the town, every dog left their hiding spots and welcomed them with a smile. 
But when a human came in, they got nothing. Instead of wagging tails and happy barks, they got silence. All the dogs glared from Rooftops and under porches, wanting the human gone.

I've always loved Feral Heart. From the awesome characters to the roleplaying, there is always something to keep me happy. I play every chance I get, and when I do, I always create a character to set whatever mood I'm in. I have plenty o' characters, I assure you, but only a few stand out.

One character I've grown fairly attached to is a pale purple wolf named Fade. She has a silvery mane and violet glowing slits. She has back ears with black ear rims, and the "Fading Stripes" markings on her body and tail. Honestly, I just created her out of boredom one day, but I've actually come to like her. She's, like, a close friend, the kind you love like a sister.

She's not even my fursona or anything. I just really love her. It's even come to times that I wish she was real. I talk to her sometimes. I'd say things like, "Ok, Fade. Let's go," or, "You're awesome, you know that?"

I'm not creepy or anything that you're probably thinking, no. I just have taken to Fade as a friend. Despite her normally mysterious appearance, her face always brings a smile to mine. I even considered making a map just for her. Because in my opinion, talking to a friend is normal.

I just never expected her to talk back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It all started one night, when I had the laptop sitting one my lap as I lounged out on the couch. It was a about 9:00, and I was ready to play some FH. I opened it up and waited for it to start it's intros. They took a few seconds to load, bit when they did, something weird caught my eye. The usual picture of the lion with KovuLKD on it was blurry, and instead of a smirk, the lion had a frown. I thought it was a glitch or some kind of thing I never saw there before. I shrugged it off and happily got to the login screen. Everything seemed normal, except the normal music was quiet and somewhat slower. I tried toggling with the volume, but nothing worked. I didn't pay much attention, and instead typed in my username and password.

I smiled when I saw my characters. I clicked my way over to Fade, and I happily clicked start. "You ready, Fade?" I whispered to her as the map loaded. I tapped my fingers a bit as it loaded, for it seemed to be taking awhile. When it finally loaded, I saw my wolf standing in Ficho. I pressed W to move her forward. I looked around a bit and noticed there was really nobody there. I opened up the forums on my phone and noticed there was only....10 people playing? Strange.

I really just lolly gagged around for a bit. Out of boredom, I opened up my files. I went over to the FH folder to just look around on them, when I noticed a new file. This one was labeled, "CTM". Confused, I clicked it to see what happened. It opened up as a notepad file.

"Come to me....

Me and you are friends, aren't we? Then come to me. Don't be shy, I'm waiting for you. Stop wasting time and Come to me.

Come on...I want to talk to you. Come to me. You love  me, and I love you."

By this point, I thought that this was a joke or something. That is, until I saw what was below.

"Come on, DuskPegasister. I'm waiting."

I was dumbfounded. Whoever this was, this random troll, they somehow knew my username. I closed out of the file just to see a new file pop up beneath it. This one was labeled, "CTM2". I'd realized by now that, "CTM" stood for, "Come To Me". I blatantly opens this file, still a bit confused.

"Come to me..."

I see you sitting there. Just hurry up and come to me, I'm lonely.

Dusk...they're coming for me...and if you don't talk to me they'll get you too."

Ok, I'm officially freaked out. This was one serious hacker. I closed quickly out of my files to get back to playing. I pulled FH back up. I was greeted with a pair of glowing purple slits and a smile right up to the screen. Fade's face was up really close, which confused me because I had her sitting down with her back to me a few minutes ago, and I didn't press the smile emote.

 I didn't really think much if it. I guessed I must've accidentally pressed one of the emote hotkeys, pressed Z and F3'd onto my character. The only thing that I worried about was those files. I knew my mom would kill me if she found out a hacker got into the computer. Oh well. I shrugged it all off and decided to get back to playing. I pressed W to make Fade move forward. "What the..." I said. Fade wasn't moving. Instead, she just kept standing there, no matter how many times I spammed the W key.

"Move, dangit!" I said through clenched teeth. I started pressing random buttons to see what they did. Nothing. I mentally pulled my hair out with rage. Way to go. I thought. I broke it. I huffed a sigh and looked around the screen. It wasn't frozen, because I could easily toggle the map and chat on and off. She just wouldn't move. Wait...the chat. Something was typed in the chat. I pressed C to get it to pop back up.  What was typed mad my blood turn to ice.

<Fade> Hey, Dusk. Did you notice I turned your keys off?

"Wh...what...?" I whispered in disbelief. I was positive I didn't write that. And, more importantly, I wouldn't talk to myself. But...it said "turned your keys off". Some other character named Fade? Work of the hacker?

I kinda just sat there, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, a new Chat appeared.

<Fade> I'm talking to you, you know.

I literally clamped my hands over my mouth. Now I knew this wasn't a hacker. No, this was Fade.

She was talking to me through the computer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared at the screen, my mind spinning and my heart racing. This couldn't be happening. No, it shouldn't be happening. Then why was it?

<Fade> When two friends are very close, it's almost like you can tell them anything, huh, Dusk? That really explains me and you. So, can I ask you a question?

 My blood stopped flowing for a second when I saw the writing in the chat box. Fade was even lip syncing what she was saying, but it was, well, perfect. It was spot on.

That's what scared me.

"Honey, are you okay in there?" I heard my mom call. I must've been gasping. Like, a lot. "Yeah, I'm okay." I answered. The last thing I needed was my mom to see this. She'd flip, no doubt.

I stared at the screen, unsure of what to do. She wanted to ask me a question. What do I say? How do I say it? She's not even real!

<Fade> Oi, just type it in the box. Sheesh, I thought you'd know that.

Gah! Stop doing that! I thought. I rubbed my eyes a bit. Was I really going to talk to a virtual wolf-thing? Apparently so.

<DuskPegasister> um what do you need to ask?

Cute. It even got my username. How on Earth was this happening? I mean, for real. This was really creepy. Feral Heart wasn't supposed to do this. If it was, I'm really missing something.

<Fade> Well, it's kinda funny, actually. Would it...be weird...if I killed somebody?

...What.

I froze. Did my character, a MADE UP avatar, in a COMPUTER GAME just ask me if it was weird to KILL someone?

Well, I'm gonna ask her.

<DuskPegasister> wait kill someone? What do u mean?

<Fade> You know, like, killing someone. For fun, I mean.

<DuskPegasister> no way! That's horrible! What's up with my game? For real, this isn't funny.

<Fade> It wasn't a joke. I mean it.

<DuskPegasister> Fade stop doing this. I know your talking, so stop saying this dumb stuff.

<Fade> ......Well, ok then. Sorry.

And with that, the pale purple wolf started walking away. I wasn't moving her, she just hung her head and walked away. By herself. Then she sat down, her back to me.


<Fade> I thought you'd love the idea. Just you and me, you'd watch, and I'd kill. Like friends. But apparently I was wrong.

<DuskPegasister> Fade, you are being horrible. why would you think that you killing someone is fun?

<Fade> ......


I felt like something was wrong. I felt....weird. What did I just do?


                ERROR
Feral Heart.exe has stopped working...you've upset her.


"Oy my gosh..." I said to myself. Had I upset her? If I did...


What would happen to me now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, the ERROR thing went away. FH shut down, taking back to the home screen. I processed what had happened best i could. Now what do I do?

I took a deep breath, and opened my files. Hopefully, nothing would be there, and I could just put up the laptop and go to bed.

Lolnope.


A new file was there, labeled, "ERROR YUH". I huffed. I was sick of acronyms. But I clicked it anyway, opening the up notepad file. What I was greeted with made me gasp.

There was a picture pasted in it. In it, Fade was standing above an orangish lion, who lay on it's side. It had a long, bloody gash running through it's side. It's fur and orangish mane were stained in crimson. Fade's muzzle was red with blood. She stared right at me, her purple slits no longer beautiful, but horrifying.

Below it, all that was written was this.

ERRORYUHERORRYUHERRORYUHERRORYUH

YUH

YOUV'E UPSET HER

NOW THEY PAY


I quickly closed out of the files. I desperately wanted to tell my mom and dad. But I couldn't. I just couldn't.

I realized I needed to face this head on. I clicked the FH icon and pulled it back up. Standing there to greet me was Fade, close up to the screen. Behind her , the same orangish lion lay, bloody and dead.

<Fade> I didn't want to do it. But I had no choice. You don't understand, I'm doing it for a reason, Dusk.

I began typing quickly.

<DuskPegasister> oh yeah and what is that? i bet that poor soul was innocent.

<Fade> Please, they won't be innocent for long, I had to.

<DuskPegasister> Tell me why.

<Fade> You. I'm doing it all for you. You are my only friend. You think of me as a close friend. A very close friend. They just get in our way, and soon they will get me.

<DuskPegasister> Fade, you are my friend. But this is wrong. That lion didn't do anything.

<Fade> He got in between our friendship. I just want you to be happy with me.

<DuskPegasister> Killing doesn't make me happy. He was innocent. Bad Fade.

Oh crap. What did i do that for?

The wolf stared blankly at the screen. For a few minutes, she didn't do anything. She stood, and just stared.

<Fade> You don't care? Fine. Watch this.

With that, her emote changed from normal to rage. She turned to the side and began running. The camera followed her, so I had no choice but to watch.

A short neon green wolf sat on a rock, unsuspecting of the pale purple killer running up on it. Fade approached it and howled. The neon green wolf turned it's head, the horror emote on it's face. Suddenly, the screen flashed a bright white before showing Fade standing above the wolf, blood on her muzzle. I let out a small whimper as I saw the neon green wolf bleed on the ground.

<Fade> It's your choice. You can let them come get me, or you can help me. Either way, they need to die.

<DuskPegasister> no! don't hurt them! They're innocent!

<Fade> But I thought you loved me!

<DuskPegasister> I love Fade. Not this monster.

<Fade> So. I'm the monster here. We'll see after they come. Then we'll see who the monster is.

All of the sudden, FH closed and my files came up automatically. There was a new file, it's title written in red.

"We'll see."

I didn't click it, it just opened on it's on. I saw red words everywhere. All of them large and in a strange font.

WE CAME FOR HER

AND NOW THE MONSTER CONTINUES TO MARCH

TELL US, WAS IT HER?

OR WAS IT YOU?


Then, FH opened up again. I nearly screamed when I saw the gruesome image.

A group of ten characters, all bloody with eyes red and bloodshot, circles around Fade. She laid down, looking at them with a horrified expression. I saw the orangish lion and the neon green wolf in the circle, and realized what they were.

These were victims of Fade. She thought that they interfered with our friendship, so she killed them. They wanted revenge, and Fade was trying to get my help.

I covered my mouth with my hand as the circle closed in on her. The white flash came and went, and the circle backed away to reveal her.

She lay on her side, bleeding. The camera zoomed in on her face. My heart sank when I saw a little tear in her eye.

<Fade> This is it, Dusk. You didn't listen and now it's over. Are you happy? Well, whatever you feel, remember. You will always be my best friend.

Right there, I felt the sob come up. What had I done? I didn't listen to her. Instead, I threw her into the hands of the killers.

The circle all turned to face me. At the Same time, they said one, bone chilling sentence.

WELL, WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER? WHO'S THE MONSTER NOW?

Me.


I was the monster. I threw my friend into the clutches of the ones who would kill her.

I didn't listen.

I'm sorry, Fade.

You're my best friend too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well? What do you think? It's my first attempt. Sorry of its long Oh, and I promise you, Fade isn't dead. And she doesn't kill either. Don't worry.

Hewo my HOMIEZ! Dusk here with mah first game! So here's how it works.

I'll start off by saying a phrase. If you know which song, movie, or show the phrase is from, do tell! If you is right, you get to continue by saying another phrase, and then someone will reply, and if they get it right, the cycle continues! But if you get it WRONG, then, boo-hoo, you don't get to continue on, and I'll say another phrase. Don't worry, you can try three times, but no more than that. Sound fun? Ok!

I'll give you an easy one.

"Live Long and Prosper,"
