《Horror Bites》Animal Shelter

A twist of the pick and the lock popped open. Jack eased the door open, waved Carl through, then closed it gently behind. They were greeted by the stench of animal urine and unclean bodies. Soft grunts and snarls. Jack flicked on the torch.
“Your sure this is a good idea?” asked Carl.
“Keep your voice down! And yes, I’m sure. This missing pooch’ll see us made.”
They crept past cages filled with cats, then dogs. Some birds and smaller mammals. The smell only got worse.
“I’m uncomfortable,” whispered Carl.
“Shut up. We’re already in the damn shelter. All we have to do is steal the damn dog and claim that juicy reward. Like we discussed. A thousand times. Simple. Easy.”
They came to another door. “He’s just through here,” said Jack. “Saw him yesterday when I recognised the little fucker.”
Again they eased it open, eased it shut. A dog stirred and they froze. Jack counted his breaths. Got to ten, then started moving again.
The smell was better here. Carl glanced in the cages. The animals seemed better cared for too. Some even looked kind of fat.
“Here… wait!” Jack shined his torch into the empty cage. “Damn it, he was right here.”
Carl leant forward, touched his fingers to a wet spot in the cage. “Is this blood?”
Jack sniffed it. “Yeah. And look,” he gestured at the floor with the torch. “There’s more on the floor.”
“This isn’t good.”
“Don’t be daft, he probably just popped the catch himself. Got cut a little then ran off.”
Jack strode forward, following the patches of blood on the floor. They disappeared under a third door. Dim light showed through the little window. Jack shot Carl a look. He opened the door.

Both stood gobsmacked. A clamour of sound flowed out then abruptly stopped. The room beyond was filled with people clad in evening dress. They were sitting at a vast table laden with food. Waiters stood in mid step, platters laden with roasted meats poised on outstretched hands. It looked like a fancy dinner party.
Everyone had stopped to stare at the two intruders. Some had food still on the fork, hovering in front of their mouths. Jack and Carl took in the scene, too shocked to speak, too shocked to move. Carl felt dazed. Felt like he was dreaming. He looked at the food, all that roast flesh. He looked at the centre piece, the spit roasted haunch of meat sitting on a silver platter. Was that a dog collar?
The man at the head of the table stood. He smiled at Jack and Carl, then looked over the other guests, a twinkle in his eyes. “Well my friends, seems like tonight we’ll be treated to a very special delicacy.”

On a rainy night of watching life pass him by, an explosion suddenly rips our young protagonist out of the bland world he knew. Meeting an old man claiming to be able to use magic, will his life finally change? Will the world finally give him a chance? This is a complete rewrite of my earlier story. Aside from my own personal problems with depression, there were many, many things I came to dislike about the way it was progressing. With the low quality of the earlier chapters, it was in dire need of at least an editing run. Instead of just editing the subpar chapters, I decided to just do it over again and change what I did not like. Please also note that I am not a native English speaker and thus might make mistakes. I have tried hard to find and correct most, but I am certainly not perfect.If you notice anything that is wrong just leave a comment below the chapter and I will try to get to it.

Realm || A Game Of Thrones Fanfiction
'I think deep down inside, everyone likes to see themselves sitting on the Iron Throne. Some just refuse to listen to their desire for power. Others give in to it. And others let other people do the hard work for them. But no matter who you are or have become, no matter what your heart desires or how much power you would like to gain; we will all burn if we don't stand strong together.' || This is a Game of Thrones fanfiction. The story takes place somewhere at the start of season 7. This fanfiction does not follow the entire plot of the new season. Some characters are not where they should be according to the actual story. I do not own Game of Thrones, nor the characters. I do own Anthea Lannister and some other characters.||
