We drive all the way home when I see a shadow chasing us.
"Makyla. Don't ask but grab that on the dash."
She grabs it.
"Throw it out the window."
"WHAT! Isn't that literinf?!" she screams.
"Not with what that is."
She throws it and when it hits the shadow it and the thing disappear.
"What was that?!" she screams looking at me.
"You don't wanna know. Not yet at least." I say.
We reach the house and I throw makayla over my shoulder and run inside.
"Mom!" I shout entering.
"Hmm?" she mumbles.
"Lichs." I say.
She gets up like someone gave her super strong coffee.
"Did she touch you?!" she shouts.
"Not me. Makayla."
"What are lichs?" she asks.
"Remember what that thing looked like?" I ask.
"Horid." she says.
"Smell? Size? Colour?"
"Bad, around 6'4. And black and red." she says remembering.
I rush her into my room and I grab nine pictures of animals like that.
Demons, vampires, wolves, shadow creatures, and others.
She looks in awe that they all look exactly the same.
"I saw them five years and watched everyone I cares for since, they took dad and grandpa from us. I can't lose you or mom." I say sitting down.
"I thought dad was killed as a cop?" she says
"That's what me and mom told you. He was killed by this thing. These things. I can't let them near you or mom.. Not again."
"Again?" she asks.
"Seven years ago. Remember Uncle Tom? He was one."
"No!" she screams.
"It's true." mom says walking in.
"Your only fifteen but you need to know." I say grabbing her.
"I don't believe it!" she screams more.
