"I could have sworn someone was there.." 

You whispered to yourself as you headed out of work, night appearing in the sky.  Your mother always told you that it just means you were intelligent. Its just been nagging you since you were awake and 8am this morning: 

Someone was watching you. 

You even went to grab a second cup of coffee since you didn't sleep well.. AGAIN. Sighing, you sipped the last of your cup of coffee before tossing it in the recycle bin. So many thoughts going on at once; maybe because of the coffee addiction. "Maybe I should go to the store.." You nodded in agreement at your statement and went inside. It was small, but it always had (Your favorite snack) Looking around, you noticed that it was empty. 'Odd.. Normally it's busy at this hour..' The only cashier, a older man, wasn't even at the desk always greeting everyone with a smile.

Something isn't right.

 "Hello?" You grabbed your pepper spray from your bag and held it close to you. Walking around and scanning the area, everything looks in place. No signs of a robbery shown.. Maybe in the back? Normally in a sane persons mind, they would have left and called 911. 'I inherited my stupid curiosity from my father I guess..' You held back a scoff at your thought until something made you perked. This feeling.. is familiar. You looked around in the storage area until your eyes landed a open freezer room. Gulping, you held up your pepper spray and tiptoed to the door, jaw dropping at the bounded figure. 

"Tanaka!!" 

The store owner perked up and struggled in his restraints, a cloth over his mouth. You quickly went to him and pulled the cloth from his mouth. "Are you alright!? What happened??" He shook his head, fear in his eyes and sweat beading on his forehead. "(Y/n), forget about me! It's after you!! You have to get out of-" He suddenly gagged and spat out blood to your horror. A scythe like appendage was stabbed in Tanaka's abdomen. Slowly and trembling in fear, you look up at a 7 foot mantis like creature. Its large green eyes look down at your, your terrified reflection looking back a you. "THERE YA ARE!" It hissed and roughly pulled out his other appendage. 

"(Y/n), RUN!!" Tanaka yelled as your adrenaline kicked in. You ran out of the storage, out of the grocery store and down the empty street. Your stomach dropped as you hear a crash and stomping of its footsteps. You don't dare to look back; all you can do is run for your life.

"SOMEONE HELP!!"

~~~~~

The figure sighed as he stood up from his perch after seeing you run, the monster hot on your trail. "If I don't do something, I'll hear it from that fox.. Troublesome woman.." His black cloak fluttered as he jumped from building to building. His hand reaches for the sword strapped to his hip, the blade shining from the light of the moon .

~~~~~

What is going on?

That thing!!

 What in the hell is it??! 

"WHERE IS YOUR FATHERS NOTES!? THE EXPERIMENT!??" The creatures screeched as it clangs its arms together, covered in the poor store clerks blood. Tears escape your eyes as you find yourself trapped in a alleyway. 'What a cliché, shitty way to die..' You turned and gritted your teeth, the pepper spray clenched in your grasped as you pointed it at the monster. "HA! HAVE GUTS HUH!? IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA ANSWER, THEN I CAN SLICE YOU UP RIGHT!?" You closed your eyes and took a breath. if you can go out with a bang, you should right? Your thoughts briefly went to your grandma, your new friends that you made and.. 

'Shuichi...'

 Oh god you were going to miss them, you were going to miss him. Opening your eyes as it was suddenly quiet, your mouth gaped as the creature was sliced up in pieces. Purple like liquid was splattered all on the walls of the ally. You jumped at a scoff as you try to decipher what just happened. 

"Hmph, stupid woman.. If you'd just stay in one place, I wouldn't have to track you down." 

A man grumbled and kicked a eyeball to the side making you gag. He was on the short side , wearing a black coat and a white headband. His sword covered in purple goo from the creature confirms your guess. "You.. saved me.." He looks to you with indifference, his eyes red as blood as he sheathes his sword. "Don't get used to it. The only reason why I did is that I won't have to hear it later." He then turned and begin to walk away, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Shaking out of your shock you all of a sudden begin to follow him..

Not knowing what will happen next.
