Two young girls are wondering in the woods when and where they aren't supposed to; those two young girls are myself and my sixteen year old twin, Kat. Obviously, something bad is bound to happen when two sixteen year old girls are in the woods at the middle of the night.

"K-Kai, I don't like this. I'm scared. I want to go home," Kate stutterers.

Kate has always been the skittish cautious of the two of us.

The freezing wind rustled the thin branches on the snow covered trees.

Our reason for being in the woods is we are looking for someone, no, something, and it isn't a human or the everyday wild or domestic animal.

"Kai, what if dad finds out we went after it?"

"Kate, he won't find out. What are you so afraid of?" I was growing tired of her whining.

"Now, what are two little Fisher twins doing outside this late at night, hmm?"

I freeze in the midst of my trudging through the snow strewn forest floor. Oh no, this is bad. It found us before we could find it.

Out of nowhere, It attacks. I have no idea what was going on, all I know is that my body s going into autopilot fighting mode. I kick and I punch, but nothing is working against that thing.

"Kai!" Kate screams as the monster that is before us lunges at her. It grabs a knife of of its pocket and puts it against Kate's neck.

I reach for the waistband of my pants looking for the demon knife my mom gave me before she died. Crap. It's not there; I must have left it at home. I now feel completely useless. I can't help my sister; all I can do is watch.

Then, the demon and my sister were gone at the snap of his fingers.

I fall to my knees, the cut i didn't notice on my arm gushing crimson liquid.

"BRING HER BACK YOU BASTARD!"

I begin to hyperventilate, but I don't cry. I don't know what to do, I just sit on my knees on the forest floor. I am not at all worried about what dad is going to do, but what is going to happen to her, trapped with that....that thing.

I guess I passed out or something because the last thing is the red snow around where I toppled over.

Well, that and footsteps.
