Agony and painful cries filled Given's ears. His eyes now shut, seen enough trauma in one day. The last thing he saw a few seconds ago was a leg dissecting from Lorna's body. Unsure if she"d still be alive, he thought of making a run for it. Use the distraction as an opportunity to save his life.

Just as a sliver of hope started to spring in his mind, more sounds banged against his ear drums. Monsterous sounds the only thing locking his joints in place. His eyes quickly slid opened and took in what was transpiring before him.

Another figure coming literally out of nowhere sprung in the air in a back flip and used it's sharp nails to slice across the eyeballs of the other figure. Landing hard in the ground, strands of red hair dancing with the air currents. The other figure fixated on it's painful eyes. Blood spewing around and fixing itself as it covered them with it's huge eyes.

Given watched in aware and surprise. Curiousity over taken him. He looked at the familiar looking figure with red strands of hair sprung across it's tall looking feminine body. It appeared to be a naked monster, but too dark milinaned to tell. It stood somewhere by the ground kneeling down with one knee like football player. He observed it's left leg that appeared to be repairing itself by moving some weird stuff up and down. It shared some similar features to the other figure but it looked more queen like.

The female figure slowly tilted her head up and had her eyes analyse the wallowing male counterpart. Before the male figure could fully see she took the opportunity to launch herself from her stance and have her sharp fingers all together pierce his chest. Her hand in his chest, she rapidly pulled out it's heart and watched as it fell to the ground.

The ground shook and Given stated in fear. Was he saved or doom. Frozen by fear and taken by curiousity. He wanted to approach the figure and thank her for saving his life, there was just something off.

Thoughts lining up one by one were cut short when footsteps hastily came close by. Soon cries filling the night air as Given's mother ran past the many trees in the direction of Given.

He didn't know what to do anymore. His mother came to save him. Something he wished happen and it happened. He looked in his mother's direction and tears began trickling down his frozen cheek.

"Mom..."he muttered knees still on the ground and unable to move.

The female figure was further away from Given, so she couldn't firmly spot Given but she could spot the incoming human. She dropped the heart and stood lifeless as the human slowly ran in her direction. Darkness was the weakness that would cause much tragedy. If Given's mother was able to see the camouflaged monster infront of Given by a few metres, happiness wouldn't have been revoked.

Running hastily and a smile growing on her face as she spotted her son,"Given, mommy is here,"she said the words filled with assurance."I'm here my so...,"her last words uttered before she could save her son. The female figure sprung out it's arm and pierced Given's mother in chest, before she could approach any further. Blood spewing around crazily as her body become lifeless. She notoriously grabbed out her heart, it's beating still visible as she held it in her monsterous hand.
