The sky was the colour of a television gone static, and the air was corrupted with the scents of death and despair. The two colleagues set off at daybreak, only to be consumed by the darkest depths of nightfall. Brave adventurers stood to nothing when it came to the pair that was conquering this foreign place, known only to mankind as 'unsafe'.
Amber and Samantha trudged through the leaf littered ground, with their now soaked shoes. Samantha whipped her head around to look into the opaque mist." I thought I heard something Amber, it came from there" she said sharply as she pointed into the wall of fog. As amber slowly turned her head around, they both saw a faint shadow, that looked like a man, although it was hunched over like somewhat of a feral animal, with shaggy hair and a large, muscular build. And as they looked closer, it had something that was curved and sharp at the end. The strange creature was drooling over some sort of carcass. Samantha walked further towards it, and it ran at the blonde slim figure with the speed of a thousand cars, now on two legs.
It speed tackled Samantha, her, and all that Samantha could summon herself to say was 'run' to amber before the monster dragged her into the mist. Amber screamed as long as her lungs could take it, then ran into the woods, the opposite way from where her friend got violently kidnapped and murdered.
