A creature from the depths of Southern America, having a thirst of blood as a vampire, vicious as a predator in the wild-life, as been witness by local people from deserts and villages from Mexico to states like Texas and California. People are in fear to see the actual Chupacabra, which they believed to be a myth. The encounters would happen every night when the moon rising from the sky. It would mostly happen when the creature with such hunger, hunts animals like cows and goats, yet it got much hungrier.

The encounters of the Chupacabra has been much worse as this creature begin to hunt the people from Mexico. News of kids been killed from blood lost among the nights of the deserts has grown panic to every cities and villages located at the desert. The mayor of one of the cities from the desert, have pass a law saying that every citizens must stay in their homes every night by 9:00 p.m.

But from the law, no citizens were still safe from the Chupacabra as it stills look for more preys for blood.

It was already night for the desert to have people sleeping, yet there was still some houses that was very close to be out of the city. One house that's close between the boarder of Mexico and the United States, was still shimmering from the inside from the candles for a man. This man was tanned from the desert heat, watching the moon with his tried eyes. He was wearing blue jeans with a black belt holding on to it, and he was wearing a light blue button shirt with a white shirt underneath his shirt.

The man was sitting on the wooden chair with a rifle on his hands. The candles only create a glow of light from the darkness of his home. As he was still looking at the moon, he heard a wolf howling to the night. He stood up with the rifle to step outside to check what was going on. The man walk out the front door of his home, standing among the wooden porch of the front yard and the front down wide open. The yard was only sand just like the desert itself. He only look around before being startle again with another howling of a creature among the desert.

But this was no howling of a wolf or any howling animal. No, it sounds more of a shriek from a creature that sounds so monstrous, the man held his rifle higher.

"El Chupacabra," the man whispered in terror no one should have been in.

He turn back to walk into his house, but he then see a girl with the same skin, same eye colors, and same hair color has him. The girl was look at the man with concern thoughts for the man standing before her.

"Sweetie, going back to your room," the man spoke in English with such worry into his head. He could see his 6 year old daughter standing with such panic.

"But papá-"

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" the man shouted with sudden anger at his daughter.

The girl begin to cry and ran back to where her father has told her. The man wanted to go to his daughter to apologize her, but he had no time to think of his daughter as he heard another shriek that's closer to his safety zone. He walk to the front down to close it shut and lock the door. He then walk around the small living room to blow out each single flames of the candles, creating darkness in the house. After that, the man grab the same wooden chair he sat, dragging it to face the front door, and he sat on it with his rifle ready.

He was waiting for something to come out of the door. He waited quietly, so quiet that he could hear his heart beating, and his lungs breathing in and breathing out oxygen he has left. The rifle was aiming at the door, his eyes staring at the door like daggers, his whole body was set in motion towards the door. It could take a moment before...

SLAM!

The door almost broke in half. The man then begin to shoot his rifle not once, not twice, but triple times towards the door. He took a heavy breath as he was still staring at the door. It didn't move a inch for quite some time, but he suddenly hear his window from his left shattered. He look at what was standing before him, was the creature that he feared the most in his life.

"Chupac-!"

Before he could finish, the creature of a monster leap high in the air to the man. The man was ready to shot, but theChupacabra manage to push the rifle out of his way. The gun shot didn't shot the creature the man was aiming for, and the rifle was pushed across the living.

Now the man begin to panic in pain as the creature begin to attack him. The creature begin biting at the man's arms and shoulders, sucking the blood during the process. Blood was splattered on the floor and wall, the man continues to scream in pain before he begin to felt dizzy. After a moment, the man faints while the monster sucks the blood inside of his body. The man looks pale and lifeless, the Chupacabra step away from the prey and jumped out from the same broken window.

When the monster was finally gone, the same little girl enters the living. Having tears rolling down from her cheeks and seeing a blood bath in the living room. She seen the blood on every corner of the living, and she see her pale father. Laying down like a puppet without strings attached to it. She couldn't find a way to say what she is now seeing. She could only manage to say one word from her sadness and horror.

"PAPÁ!"
