History ~
Gremlin was born and raised on a farm, but not just any farm. He lived on a greyhound farm, where they were kept in small wire-mesh cages 23 hours a day, he got the best side of the life on the farm, he was offspring of two guard dogs. THE two guard dogs, from a litter of eight puppies, Gremlin had to fight for his food, fight for his shelter, and fight for his praise from his parents. He never had the dream puppy-hood, he didn't get the chance to enjoy the small things, like going on walks with his people, or his parents for that matter, it was all work and no play from day one.
His paws bled for days, his stomach was empty for days, but his head, his mind didn't stop churning its gears. Gremlin didn't let his hunger, or pain get in the way of getting praised by his father. It was a rainy November night when Gremlin heard a ruckus in the kennels, he heard the voice of his mother, then his father's rage. The rage was one he had never seen, nor heard from any creature before, not even his master. - He crept up to the greyhound kennels where the shouting had come from, his lobes swiveled and turned pinpointing the voices to their source. He kept low, and seen what he never thought would ever happen, not to his family, his mother had been caught fooling around with a greyhound. Or so it seemed, his father's rage showed as his yellowed teeth met the greyhound's neck, Gremlin jumped from the shadows and landed on his mother, lips curling back revealing his teeth the shackles on his back rose in a fury, he lunged his head forward and latched onto his mother's skull, Gremlin's jaws pressed harder and harder, feeling the crunch of his mother's skull in his maw, he jumped down and stepped back.
His father turned and stared at him in shock, mahogany eyes wide, his maw gaped open. Gremlin stared, returning the glare his father's eyes took to his mate's lifeless body, a mass of fur covered with crimson. The two dogs stood there in the shadows of the kennels, Gremlin's tongue doused in the blood of his own mother, something then clicked in him, in his heart, his mind, and body. Gremlin loved the taste of blood, the metallic taste lingered.
His father got to his paws and walked away, Gremlin knew that would be the last time he would see his father, turning back to the body he licked his lips and devoured his mother's body. Gremlin would leave at first dawn, no he would leave now, to hunt down and torture his next victim.
Wandering for four long years, Gremlin came to town after town, all abandoned, no dogs, no people, nothing. He finally came across a small town, he could smell the scents of other animals seeping from the town, even though he seen nothing as he entered the town. A town called "Saddle Creek" would be his next stop..
