Chapter 1
Merlin

It began on a Thursday. Jason Denvir had just finished serving his time. As he walked through a busy street, he pulled a folded sheet of paper out of his pocket and started to look for the address of the B&B he had found.

Siobhan Davis was walking her dog, Merlin and her four year old daughter. They were near the local park, throwing bread to the ducks, when the dog started to growl, it then started to shake like a fish out of water, foam pouring from its mouth. Siobhan screamed. Everyone around screamed.

The dog jumped at her and grabbed her viciously by the throat and starts to shake her violently, blood is coming from her eyes and her skin is going pale white. Siobhan screams as she rolls on the ground, her hands covering his throat, there is blood dripping between her fingers. Her skin has gone pale and she breathes extremely slowly. Her daughter is crying and then saves her mother, by throwing a stick for the dog to chase.

Jason continued to walk; he now had his earphones in listening to the greatest hits of ABBA. A rat scuttled in front of him and stopped, Jason though would never admit it was scared of the. It screeched at him, then like started to flop around the pavement, blood started coming from its eyes and ears. Jason just looked at it.

Siobhan was running for her life, she was holding her daughter as she ran. The Dog was chasing her, now it was no longer her beautiful poodle, it was a killing machine. It was gaining on her, it was then she tripped over her own shoe lace. The creature jumped on her back and bite down on her flesh, she screamed.

The rat charged at him and he kicked it. Then ran rats were his worst nightmare. It was not until he got away from the rat, that he heard the screams of terror from the citizens. People were running for their lives, blood was everywhere.

Birds, Cats, Rats, Dogs every animal that one could find in a town, were attacking the citizens. There was blood everywhere, Jason was sick.

Siobhan had owned Merlin for five years; he had been a birthday present for her. She loved him as soon as she saw him, when she got pregnant, she told her pet first and cried into his neck. Now he was mauling her. With her last ounce of strength she quickly lifted her leg in the air and kicked it in the face.

This startled the animal so much that it backed off and whined. What’s the matter master? Siobhan slowly started to pull herself away; she looked up and saw lying in front of her, her daughter.

Master, master, what’s wrong? Didn’t you see it? Siobhan pulled herself towards her child. What’s wrong with Sam? Is she hurt? She was now at her face, Sam was also on her stomach. Siobhan rolled her over. Sam’s forehead was cut open, her skin
was cold and her eyes just stared up at her Mother.

Merlin walked up to Sam, “get away!” she punched the dog in the face, picked up the lifeless body and hobbled away as fast as she could. Master, come back! Master. Merlin stood and watched his beloved master run. The dog sat and wined, as his master ran with her dead child
