It crept through the halls, like a wolf on the hunt. It wasn't human, far from it. It's razor sharp claws moved slowly, the creature was blind for the most part. Its eyes...oh god it's eyes! Everywhere but where they should be, dozens of blood red eyes watching from every direction but straight forward...its weakness. Only problem...its tail, its tail! Eyes dotted on it, moves to every direction but the barb on the end...laced with deadly poison. A touch and your cells die, like acid but much more painful...a tragic way to die... oh god...it sees me goodbye, the letter ended there was no cuts or blood just a burn in the corner and a crinkle where water has dried.
"Scary" I mumbled then followed the trail of black stains spattered onto the ground. I looked at the claw marks on the wall, there was small splatters of blood here and there but mostly the black sludge. "What is this..." I dipped my finger into the black slug and scream in pain. The cells start to die and the finger turns black the bone dissolving. It hurt nothing like I have felt before. I looked around the old house and picked up a old axe. The black disease spreaded down my hand. I took a breath and hacked my hand off. I ripped my sleeves and wrapped my wound.
Then i heard it, the beast the note told me about. A tear streamed down my face from fear and pain. The beast growled, I refused to turn and face it but i could hear the sounds of skin ripping. I gulped and turned there it was in all its horror blood on its snout but no eyes. I stood still then i looked up its tail watching me. I felt the color drain from me the sound of ripping flesh came from the beast opening its jaws filled with sharp blades. I screamed at the sight and it lunged clamping its jaws onto me and everything went dark...
