Eliana Dawn is a nine-teen years old woman who even at that age is innocent and kind. Eliana lives in the forest with her protective older brother Thomas. Eliana is never allowed to leave the perimeter of her cottage or garden but when she does she'...
After, hours of playing and running in the garden her brother called her to tell her that it's time to come back inside. "Bubba, can I just stay outside for a few more minutes, please." Eliana begged.
The town has a rule that no one should be outside past sunset to keep safe from 'the monster'. It's rumoured to lurk in the dark, searching for it's prey. But Eliana believes he searches for a friend not prey.
The town believes she's being naive, thinking it's a he and that he searches for a friend. Only one person has seen 'the monster' and survived, a hunter named Grosvenor which means 'hunter' as his family has generations of werewolf hunters, believing it's a monster. Grosvenor himself is a very nice man but at the age of 56 can't hunt 'the monster' anymore.
'The monster' has only ever killed Grosvenor's ancestor hunters but the townspeople think that's just because the hunters are the only ones to go into the monsters forest to hunt it. He has claimed that 'the monster' has sharp razor teeth, glowing blood red eyes and black thick fur.
"Bub, it's nearly dark." Thomas answered. "Please, I propose I'll be in before sunset." She begged, tears falling, she wanted to stay outside where she loved. "Fine, but don't go anywhere near the gate." He said firmly. Thomas went back inside leaving Eliana and the kitten outside.
"Marshmallow?Where are you? MARSHMALLOW?" She yelled, it was getting dark and she couldn't find Marshmallow. Eliana was now crying, tears falling in a never ending stream.
Then she saw her little form waddling outside the gate. "No, Marshmallow. Come here." She asked. 'I'm going to have to go past the gate. Thomas will be so mad.' Eliana thought. 'But-but Marshmallow could hurt herself'. Another thought.
"I need too help marshmallow." She whispered to herself. Slowly walking towards the gate, she had never gone further thank the gate before. She opened five latches and then slowly the last one.
Pushing the door open she was so excited but then remembered why she was leaving and rushed trying to find her precious kitten. Searching behind every tree and in every bush. She then heard a faint twig snap behind her, slowly turning around she gasped. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Second chapter complete. Only 386 words but I will try to write more.
