Steven was walking home one cold winter night. All you could hear was the sound of the icy wind on the boney branches of a willow tree. Or the occasional hoot of an owl or the birds flying by. Suddenly, the wind stopped. It was like time stopped, cold, even colder than before but it had an unnatural feel to it. It felt like he would freeze on the spot.
'Wow it's cold, I should probably be getting home.' Steven thought to himself. Then he heard a snapping of branches. He spun a complete 180 fists raised. He saw a little girl standing there blankly. 'Don't creep up on people like that! You could've given me a heart attack!' Steven shouted. The Girl didn't wince at the volume of Stevens voice. 'Why are you even out here?' Steven said. No answer. Just then Steven noticed a red mark appearing on her chest. 'Hey are you okay? You look hurt.' No answer. The dot of red now grew into a patch. Covering her clothes, Steven pulled out his phone. 'Don't worry I'll call an ambulance!' But then he looked at his phone. The notification 'NO SIGNAL' was covering his screen. 'What? But I'm in a park!' Steven said confused. The Girl dropped to the floor. Steven could notice something. Something he regrets seeing the instant he saw it.
A hole in the back of the little girl. Steven was frozen, standing there gaping at the hole in her back as a baby crawled out. But Steven could tell that it was no ordinary baby. It was green, rotting, with a mouth on either hand and a completely circular mouth, full of teeth. Steven just stood there. He knew he needed to run but he couldn't move his legs. The Baby stared at him. Then in a split second pounced towards him. The last thing he could remember was his family. His mum, dad and his little sister. The last thing they would've seen of him was when he yelled at all of them as he barged his way out the door. The last thing Steven heard from his family was the wailing of his younger sister.Now all he could hear was the tearing of his flesh, his own screams and a baby's laughter.
A shadowy, sinister figure waltzed through the park. His skin all cracked with blood seeping out of the cracks. A hole where his heart should be, filled with snakes. He had no legs, just stumps where his legs should be. But he was levitating and had no need for them. His face was in a constant shape of despair. His name Lord Loss a Demon Master. Lord Loss belows ' Come on Artery. You've had enough to feast on now. Let's go home.' As he said that a portal appeared next to him. A portal with no clear shape. Filled with nothing but darkness. Artery pounced at Lord Loss but Lord Loss was ready and caught Artery by the nape and threw him through the portal.' Learn some respect!' He yells as he charges through the portal. Once the portal shattered into a million patches of darkness and disintegrated into the ground, the wind blew again. The owls started to hoot.
Steven's parents ran into the park after looking for their lost son. Only to see the remains of their dead son. With a huge red crater in his chest and blood and guts around him.
