Rumors.

Reality or delusion?

Everything about that incident was just.......absurd, the details that he was told......everything didn't made sense. He was told by his Father that when she came from America to Romania to spend time with her Family for Christmas holidays.....she started acting strange, her expressions were blank. She wasn't smiling or anything, it's almost like she was a emotionless doll. She stopped eating, she spent most of the time in her room, locked  herself away from the world, she was loosing alarming amount of weight, she used to barely wash or brush her hairs.
Julie his other older Cousin described her like ""she was the complete opposite before she went to America for her art degree, since in their country there's not much value for artists, so she was studying fine arts there, before going to America Samantha said to Julie that she will become the great comic artist, she was filled with Enthusiasm, excited and full of energy after all art meant so much to her, she had to convince her parents. But......when she came back........there was no doubt she was suffering from depression, a severe one......but what caused her to be like that?.......

Before Tyler could think about this matter any further, the shop owner announced that his shift was over, it was 7pm already as Tyler exited the shop. Hopped on his bicycle and headed to his apartment. It was getting dark as the sun was going down, darkness was spreading around the area like a plague
Giving rise to his worst anxieties, even though the streets were well lit but that feeling of paranoia was slowly creeping up in his heart, though it was not as intense as last night......but it was there .

But as soon as he reached the street where his apartment was his anxiety started to become worse. His anxiety level went from 10 to 100 real quick.......everything was pitch black.

His heart was racing like crazy, he felt his palms getting sweaty, something was off........ he was able to sense it

"Tyler....... it's nothing more then just a delusion......calm yourself......you are just imagining things ....calm down..""

Even though he tried his best to affirm himself to calmness. But nothing seems to be working.....it was no use. His unconscious fears were coming to the surface when he entered the street where his apartment was......all the lights were off......all the street lights......This was unusual, usually this area was flooded with brightness from the street lights. Only one street light was on.....and under it... he saw a woman in hospital gown with black hairs covering her face as she was sitting their wailing.

She almost looked identical to his older Cousin ....Samantha...? B....but that's impossible, she died in the hospital fire, it's been over an year since her death.

"Sa......Samantha....?" He felt stupid, obviously it was some other woman but he was blinded by his emotions, as he called out her name "is....is that you?".

She stopped crying, as she slowly lifted her head up, her breathing shallow as she looked at Tyler. Tyler gasped in shock as he saw her face... she was....Samantha!!?.....but her eyes were bloodshot red as bloody tears flooded her ghostly pale cheeks. She cried even harder when she saw Tyler "I....iam not a... monster like him Tyler.....please help me it's all his doing IAM NOT A MONSTER LIKE HIM...IAM NOT IAM NOT IAM NOT IAM NOOOOOOOOOT!!!!""she cried out

She screamed out that last sentence, as she repeatedly kept saying ""iam not a monster like him"" while pointing at her left.

Tyler had no idea what he was dealing with, who was she talking about, there was nothing where she was pointing, maybe she was having a delusion, part of him wanted to go hug and comfort her, but part of him was terrified......he could not move as he was in shock......he did not knew what he should do, he again felt that same dread, sick and nauseous from terror, it's as if his mind went blank, he was frozen in fear.

Suddenly the street light under which his Cousin was sitting, turned off as everything went completely blank, her crying stopped.........Tyler even though he was not able to see her because of pitch blackness, he was sure that she was not there anymore because he could no longer sense her presence, it's as if she suddenly disappeared. Tyler sighed.....there was no denying it....he was indeed loosing his mind, "just another delusion.", But! The moment he started recovering from his feelings of terror....the street light turned back on again.

His eyes widened as he looked at the horric sight, there was another figure standing under the street light....but this time it was not Samantha, instead what he saw sent chills down his spine.

It was an abomination, some other worldly manifestation. It had a body of a human but a head of a pig and razor sharp teeth in it's mouth, blood was dripping from it's  mouth as it  looked at Tyler, grining ear to ear with all his teeth exposed. Tyler felt as if the creatures eyes were staring directly into his soul, he almost felt like throwing up without any hasitation he started running into the opposite direction, the animalistic figure started chasing after him.

Tyler ran and ran feeling his adrenaline level rising more and more.....he could hear the creature's growling.....he could sense it's hunger.....he didn't knew where he was running but he did not care, he just wanted to get away from this demonic entity.

He blindly sprinted forwards, suddenly he tripped over something, face first on the floor, he quickly lifted his head and looked behind him only to see the demon standing,  not too far away from him.

His leg was sprained badly, it hurted like hell as he was not able to stand up.....he trembled as he saw the growling figure approaching him slowly......all he could do was crawl away from it.....but of course it was no use as the Feral Creature Jumped on him,.... he let out a blood curtling scream.
