Hunter was sitting on his couch. The leather sticking to the back of his calves that weren't covered by his shorts.

Willow sat next to the boy with a smile on her face as she watched the tv with her boyfriend.

Suddenly, there was a mechanical click and everything turned off. All the power in the house went silent. The only thing that could be heard was the breathing of the couple.

Hunter squeaked in fear like a mouse who saw a cat. Willow held his hand gently with a smile.

"It's ok hunter! Don't worry it's probably just the storm. "

"O-ok.. "

"I'll get flashlights. "

Willow got up from the couch and walked her way to the kitchen. Her feet padded against the floorboards, occasionally creaking. She was careful because of the lack of light, not wanting to trip. She opened a draw, taking a few attempts to find the right one.

She flicked the flash light on with a click. She looked up, pointing the light around.

It felt like one of those moments when you were a kid and you were alone. Your parents seemed to vanish and you thought monsters were everywhere. You didn't know what to do and your heart echoed in your ears.

She walked back to the living room but Hunter was nowhere to be seen. She furrowed her brows and looked around. The fear seeped through her veins with a cold splash.

"Hunter..? Where are you? "

Then, a loud crash was heard behind her and she whirled around, her eyes darting around to see where the sound came from.

There, a black furred creature slowly stood with a guttural growl. He stood up straight and you could see that he was very thin. His ribs could be seen under his skin. His chest was bare but his arms and back had fur. His head had a skull on top, old and dirty with occasional cracks.

His legs were like goats legs with hooves. Horns protruding from the skull.

Willow froze in fear. Her skin felt like ice and her heart boomed like drums. She ran away, to her bedroom and hit in the closet. Her heart pounding.

Boom boom


Steps could be heard getting closer.




Boom boom





The door knob jiggles and steps could be heard, louder.




BOOM BOOM





The door to the closet opened and his clawed hand came down.

















































Hunter groaned as he laid on the floor in the closet. His hands were bloody. He sat up with a grunt.




















































"What.."












































"Breaking news.. Willow Park murdered by boyfriend, Hunter Will. "
