Valerie's P.O.V.

It was freezing tonight, it being October might have something to do with it. And the fact that its almost 10 at night, according to my phone.

Anger coursed through me as I continued to stomp my way home. My now ex boyfriend has been cheating on me with the school bimbo, Megan. I decided to surprise him at his house with a present to try and help our relationship. His door is always unlocked so it was easy enough to walk in and see them fucking on his couch.

Shaking my head to rid that image from my mind, I continued to make my way home.

  I didn't interrupt them, or even call my friend to come back and get me. I thought it was best for me to walk it off and left him a text saying we were over. I assume they aren't finished because he hasn't replied yet.

It was another few minutes before I started to hear something in the distance. It was too far to hear clearly, but you can never miss someone's screams. Stopping in my angry strides, I listened.

Another scream sounded.

Shit, what should I do? Maybe it's a bunch of teenagers messing around, that sounds right. As I was about to start walking again, another sound erupted. Louder.

Almost like a, roar.

Not long after the thundering sound, another scream followed. Was someone being attacked by an animal? I have to do something.

I speedwalked to the direction the yells, screams, and roars were coming from. Digging through my purse for my pepper spray while putting 911 on speedial. Once I was close enough to the sounds, I slowed to a walk. Trying to be as silent as possible, I cautiously looked around.

It looked like I was at the park, the one with a large meadow leading into a beautiful forest. I have been here only a few times, even explored a small portion of the woods. To think something bad is happening here, I cant explain the feeling.

As I continued to follow the sounds, they were definitely louder and I was able to make out shapes of what looked like men. I just need to get closer.

Hiding behind some play structures, I had an almost clear view of what was going on. Even though it was dark, I could see men. Regular men, being attacked by some...

Monster.

The creature roared angrily as the men continued to pursue it. It had huge wings patruding from it's back, occasionally flapping to move further away. Sharp teeth and claws were bared out to the men, a clear warning to keep away. And a tail. A very long, snake like tail wrapped around someone's neck.

I couldn't move. The sight of that thing, it's unreal. It's impossible. It can't be possible! My body couldn't stop trembling in fear of what I am witnessing. Trembling to the point that I could no longer hold my phone and pepper spray.

I managed to look around the scene, now noticing...

Bodies. Dead, bloody bodies.

My eyes wandered back to the creature. It snapped the man's neck with its tale with a deafening crack.
It growled and roared as its claws tore through the men who got too close. Blood splattered on the grass, the moonlight reflecting off of it tragically. Screams of pain and agony echoed through my ears as I continued to watch, unable to look away.

What seemed like hours, the creature ripped out the neck of the last man in the meadow. It breathed heavily from the fight as it let the body fall to the ground. It just stood there, its wings now tucked at it's sides as it tried to breathe normally.

I need to get out of here, I cant stay. Move. I have to move!

Shakily, I stood up from crouching. My legs aching from being in the same position for too long. Not worrying about the things I had dropped, I slowly made my way through the play area. I was about to reach the sidewalk when...

My phone started ringing.

A gasp of horror left me as I turned around, noticing the little light from the play area as my phone continued to ring.

My wide eyes looked to where the creature was standing, hoping it decided to go away. It wasn't there.  It was no where in the meadow. Not wanting to take my chances I turned back around and started to run.

I didn't get far.

The creature landed in front of me, growling lowly. Trying to stop quickly, I ended up slipping on the damp grass and landing on my butt. Its tale wrapped itself tightly around my ankle as I tried to crawl away.

No no no. This can't be happening.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to yank my ankle out of the hold the creature had on it. Yet it only looked at me, almost curiously, as I continued to struggle. It seemed to have had enough watching me fail at escaping, it yanked me closer. Me letting out a squeal in surprise.

Before I could react it gripped my arms with its clawed, bloody hands. It pulled me to my feet, my chest almost touching its chest. My breath coming out it short pants as my heart beated eratically against my ribcage. I closed my eyes, thinking of the ways it could kill me like it did to those men.

I felt its tale wrap under my butt, pulling me closer until the fronts of our bodies were touching. Sticky, bloody fingers then caressed my face. I furrowed my brows, slowly opening my eyes.

What is it doing? Shouldn't I be dead by now?

Then I saw them. Strikingly blue eyes, stared back into mine. They almost seemed to glow in the night. They were, beautiful. My eyes wandered over the creature's face, noticing that it was actually quite handsome. Looking more I noticed that it was mainly human. It's entire body was human, at least from what I can see. And all male. I looked back into it's, no.. his eyes.

He gave me a small smile, no hint of anger or bloodlust in his eyes. His arms circled themselves around my waist, pulling me even closer against his body as he buried his face in my neck. Having to bend down from how tall he was. I tensed.

Was this a trick? Was he going to tear out my throte with his sharp teeth? I tightly closed my eyes, waiting for it to happen. Waiting for the pain.

Instead, he placed gentle kisses to my neck. Snapping my eyes open, I let out a little gasp.

"Are you going to kill me?" He tensed at my words. With one last lingering kiss to my neck, he pulled his head up and looked me in the eyes.

He seemed to have trouble forming words. "No. Never." His voice low, almost like he was growling. Though those two words made my body relax in his arms. I believed him.

But why?

He continued to stare at me for a while longer before speaking in that low voice. "Name?" It seemed he had trouble making sound like he was asking.

It was strange. I continued to let myself be held by this creature. The same thing that I witnessed murder so many men at one time. Why wasn't I trying to run?

"V- Valerie." He smiled softly at me, caressing my face tenderly. I could feel the tips of his claws skimming across my skin. I wiggled a bit to get some space but his tale only tightened.

"Uh-um. What's your name?" Did he even have a name? How many creatures are out there like him?

He buried his face back into my neck, I barely heard him when he whispered.

"Blue."
