SCREAMS. It was the first sound that jolted Nyx out of her sleep followed by an unnatural snarl that grew louder as of late.
Feeling sleep deprived was the least of her worries as she withdrew the thin blanket off her body and ran to her bedroom door. She whipped it open, the noises from down the hall echoed once more and she moved to investigate. Her hand glowed cutting a swathe through the darkness as she progressed down the hall and turned a corner, but then she stopped. Her breath hitched as her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. At the end of the hall hunched over a little girl was a deviant.
Blood gushed with a sickening determination from her abdomen as the creature continued to munch on the little girl's intestines. Nyx's skin grew pale as she examined the child's face and a loud gasp escaped her mouth. She recognized the little girl from one of the recent parties she went to. The one she made a deal with.
She stumbled back, her eyes blinked numerous times as she struggled to breathe and her hands immediately shot to her head. She shook it viciously as the voices inside her head began to pound louder and louder by the second:
"But you have to do something for me." The little girl said.
Nyx looked at her suspiciously. "And what's that?"
"You have to help them kill all those monsters so my mom can let me play outside again. Deal?" The little girl puts up two fingers and kisses it before hovering it in front of Nyx.
Nyx laughed and mimicked her action. "You got a deal, kid."
The flashback played in a continuous loop inside Nyx's head as tears began to well on the brim of her eyeslids and she let out a furious cry. "No, no, no!"
The deviant turned to face her, it's small four eyes glowed a bright gold while blood was dripping from its long sharp teeth. Nyx backed away, her hands shaking like a tremor. The deviant dropped down on its forefeet, it's long claws dripping in blood.
