Ayla POV

💛💛💛

It is the day after two of our own died and two days since guards went missing, we are all mourning today, but we must keep our wits about us if we are to not be taken by this monster.

💛💛💛

At approximately 7:35 pm today we found the dead bodies of the two civilians and the guards, each had a strange symbol or text of some sort on their palm. My guards and I tried to get the bodies out of the town square, where we found them, before anyone saw them, but we were too late. After five minutes we had a large mass of people surrounding us and sobbing, seeing people that they grew up with or were quite close with, on the ground dead with the strange markings carved into their palms with dried blood around the edges.

💛💛💛

I can't let the children see this, it is too intense and disturbing. I hear an ear piercing scream and spin around to see the wife of one of the dead guards crumple to the ground sobbing uncontrollably. I comfort Elaine, that is her name, and by the time she is able to stand up my guards have moved the bodies to the castle. Now more than ever I need to find this beast.
