Love Bites

Prologue

-

The redwood forestry was chilling during the spring nights, woodland creatures of all kinds burrowing under trees and digging holes to hide from their more than mighty predators at night. The reflecting light of the sun to the moon subtly strikes through the curved land's leaves. Something stirred in the woods that night though. It was too peaceful not to have a monstrous creature in search of prey.

***

The creature swayed like the wind carefree; graceful. Not a care in the world as to who or what would spot it, the entity almost knew it could not be seen. Whispers echoed throughout the woods, incoherent to the human ear. Whispers so high it could send a dog into a panic, a rabid panic at that.
Leaves rustled, causing a rouse upon the animals. Some were getting out of their dens; homes of security. That night though, it had changed, suddenly squeaks of young woodland creatures were echoing the forest, and varmints were being snatched from their families left and right. It wasn't your average animal on animal sacrifice, it was a human figure. Yet the figure wasn't human, nothing could glide off the ground so amazingly, so soft. The redwood was tall, to say the least, it was expected in California. But this creature wasn't. It was lanky, pale, deep, and dark eyes. It flew at lightning speed, Returning to its home.

A mangled old 1800s wooden building stood on the outskirts of the woodland, in a field of regular forestry. It had overgrown shrubbery and grass swallowing any trace of outside decoration. The lanky tyrant of the forest trudged onto the torn patio, putting his foot on the boards as lightly as possible, the creaking of the wood made the creature displeased, annoyed.
It opened the rusty-hinged door slowly as if something were to wake any second. Then the sound of creaking arose,
"Ryan, out late hunting.. again?"
