The night Emma walked out of the police station she went into the store to grab her favorite snacks. When she walked in, all she could think about was how everyone was terrified of her.

"It's time to burn this city down and all the mean people in it!"

Emma walks back out the store without buying anything and immediately starts walking around until she steps foot in a quiet neighborhood. It's a quiet night with thunderstorms in the forecast. People are enjoying their supper and watching television when all of a sudden, the tornado sirens start blaring along with a scary message on the television.

"WARNING! This is NOT a test! Please take shelter immediately! I repeat, this is NOT a test! Take the necessary precautions and get into your shelter! Turn off all lights, lock all doors and windows! Make sure you have a flashlight, medical supplies, enough food and water to last a couple weeks. Get your pets and children indoors! Do not go outside for any reason as you could be putting yourself and others in a life threatening situation."

People in the neighborhood are stunned at what they heard. Little do they know, the worst is about to come.

Five minutes after the alert, people scrambled to get to their safe shelter with their family and supplies. Some people took it seriously while some stupidity went outside to see what was going on. Emma started walking towards a house and saw someone standing at the end of their driveway. They took off running into their house but it was already too late. Emma had gone through the window and attacked the man, chewing on his face. A neighbor across the street carefully looked out the window and saw the lights on and door wide open and saw the man dead, lying in a pool of blood.

Emma now makes her way to the next house and accidentally triggers the alarm system so she calmly walks away and goes next door. She shatters a window and crawls into the dark house. A minute later, a blood curdling scream can be heard. Again, Emma chews off the face of her victims and sets the house on fire.

There's police driving around looking for her but she's not easy to find. She can easily blend in with her surroundings due to the fact she has very pale skin, jet black hair and demonic red eyes.

It's now dark out and there's a strange vehicle driving around and they're having a difficult time trying to find Emma. While they know she won't hurt them, they don't feel safe getting out of their car.

"Sir? I think I found her!"
"Where?"
"Over by the gas station on Main Street. She's still inside and she's attacked the cashier!"
"Stay inside and turn your car off! She's VERY dangerous.
"Copy that."

These aren't just any ordinary people. They're a secret company that deals with the paranormal.

About 20 minutes later, the rest of the group pulls up to the gas station to contain Emma and they're terrified at what they see. Emma is standing at the door with blood on her face and in her left hand is the gas station employee's rib cage.

"Emma, please come out slowly and get your hands where we can see them and drop the rib cage too. All we want to do is help. This must be scary not knowing what you are. Please come out and get in the car."

"NO! You're trying to trick me!

"Please, just come outside and we can help you."

Emma looks around and finally agrees to go.

"What are you going to do to me? I don't want to die!"

"We're going to run some tests tomorrow to find out what you are. You'll have your own and anything else you need."

"You try to trick me and you'll die! I will rip you open and watch you drown in your own blood. I'll get in the car myself."

While Emma gets in the car, she hisses and the police officer holding the door open for her. He jumps back and and watches a sickening grin spreads across her face and her razor sharp teeth on full display. On the way to where Emma will be living, she's been really nice and quiet until she lets out this awful piercing scream which causes an accident. The car flips over and the agent driving the car is violently attacked. Emma escapes and is now on the run.
