The Hunted

THE DAY

My day is going great, I'm playing table tennis with my dad while my mum is in the kitchen cooking my favourite meal... Rice with Chicken. I'm beating my dad at table tennis, i have the advantage in the game as I play for a table tennis team. I take my serve and dad hits the ball as it comes to his bat, I quickly got ready for the ball to come my way and smacked it once it bounced on my side of table, I hit it so hard it went past my dad like lightning.I won the game and dad was annoyed, it was the fourth time I beat him I usually intend on losing some matches and letting him enjoy the glory of winning but I thought it was enough of him winning and time for him to see how a pro plays table tennis."Ben!! Go to your mum and help her with the final touches with the food" my dad shouts in anger of losing the game. I quickly run to the kitchen before my dad show's me his rath.Mum was nearly done with the food once I arrived at the kitchen, the food was looking absolutely delicious.

"Foods ready sweetie" mum shouts hoping my dad will hear, but like always I have to go inform him "Dad the food's done" I say as I take a step outside to the table tennis table,"DAD..." I yell only to find the ball we played with bouncing repeatedly exactly where we left it with no sight of my dad.It came as a shock to me but dad always played tricks on me, maybe just maybe he could be trying to trick me again but if he was he would of just done it inside, I mean the garden is just to small for all this.Then, from the garage at the bottom of my garden I heard a sound, i quietly walked towards the garage, once I got there i open the door slowly, "oh my GOD" my daa.a.d, noooo!! He was dead hanging with a rope on his neck tied to a hook on the top of the garage but the horrific thing about it was I don't think he died because he choked, he had cuts on him like some animal attacked him, blood was evacuating his body like wold war 2. "MUM!!!" I call out in fear, "Ben get your dad, both your foods are getting cold" she says in frustration, "Mum come" I shout as tears fall off my face, she runs out into the garden to find me crying my eyes out "what is it Ben, what's wrong" she says in the softest voice possible, i point at the dead body of my dad, mum comes round to see the terror faced before her but she doesn't burst out crying, instead she says " Go. Go inside and lock the door behind you, but don't look back" I listened to her and didn't even question why she wasn't upset about dad being dead.

I ran, and when I say i ran I mean I ran faster than flash on T.V or Zoom with extra speed. I locked the door behind me and quickly grabbed what ever sharp object I could find, fortunately I was in the kitchen so the only sharp object I could find was a cooking knife. I whipped the tears off my face and told myself " I'm a teenager not a baby" whilst I gave myself courage I heard my mum scream like never before. I quickly ran to the window and saw my mum laying on what used to be green grass, what ever is attacking my family cut my mum and left her blood to fill the whole garden. I was more afraid than ever now but couldn't cry, i had to keep strong for my mum and dad.

This started to turn to one of those scary movies where the monster is unseen until the hero finds it and slays it, but right now I wasn't feeling like a hero. I had no chance against what ever is after me and no way of escaping, why the hell did my parents have to be rich and buy a mansion in the middle of nowhere.

I layed down against the dinning table waiting for what ever was out side to attack but nothing happened, day went and night came.It could be a human but no man or woman is capable of such monstrosity. I was sleepy, my bed time was at 8:30 and i'm still up at 9:45 waiting for the barbaric monster to emerge from it's hiding.I closed my eyes for what seems to be hours but was actually a minute, i couldn't sleep not while that beast was still out there.After hours and hours of waiting I heard a loud bang from upstairs, it was coming from the Game Room but how could someone be upstairs I never heard the front door open, i ran upstairs still holding the knife in fear of what I could encounter. Once I got upstairs I started to walk slowly, tip towing like I was some fully trained Ninja, i heard footsteps still coming from the game room, i kicked the door open and raised the knife ready for combat but nothing was there, it was as if the beast had vanished and i knew it had been in the game room becuase my PS4 was broken."Broken!" I yell out of anger, this beast has gone way to far everything in the game room was broken I couldn't stand being in there no longer so I walked out fuming and went to my bedroom, but as I was about to open my bedroom door a great big wolf jump at my direction sending me flying and the knife bowling down the stairs. I was completely out matched and couldn't do nothing, so i stayed down. The wolf was about 7 foot tall and could barely move around the house, it had bright red eyes and a cream coloured coat.

I was scared but the rage for my mum and dad was the only thing showing, as the wolf came closer to me it some how grew legs and hands and it's face just shifted into a human like form, "your a man" I say out of fear
"Yes, i'm a man but I like to be called Kyle" he speaks as if he doesn't know what happened
"Your no human, your a monster!" I yell
"Ben I'm no monster, i'm here to protect you from the real monster out there". I stood up from the floor as Kyle informed me of what could be a lie.
"How do u know my name and what do you mean your here to protect me"As i finished that sentence Kyle grabbed me and swung me as if I weighed nothing, in other words he man handled me back into the direction i was heading to before the fight, my bedroom.
