There once was a town in Ireland. It was an old village with a few villagers living in it. Many avoided the little town because it was said to be haunted. This was not the entire truth. There was one beast who haunted the streets of the little town. Nothing less than a cat. No ordinary cat, I would say. A black cat with eyes as red as the blood of men. With one stare, he could make you lost and you would never make it to your destination.
One day, after the cat attacked two women, a group of friends decided to fight back against this creature from hell. The boys would buy a gun from an older friend of them. With this, they could kill the being that terrorises their village. One of those boys was Will. Will was sixteen and lived on the edge of the town. He didn't have many friends, but a little group of loyal ones. One of the members of this group was his younger brother Jacob. Jacob was one year younger, but acted as one of them. He wasn't the 'alpha' of the group and yet he acted as one. The friends decided to kill the beast with a silver bullet. They were sure that this was the way to kill the cat who haunted their streets.
The night fell.
It was late and the two brothers were awaiting their friends at the corner of the street. Two had already cancelled. Will thought they were too scared. The two brothers waited for over half an hour and went to their friends house. They knocked softly on the door. Almost a second after they knocked, the door flew wide open. Their friend stood there in his underpants. He said that the love of his life was waiting and he couldn't join the two on their task. The brothers laughed and waved him goodbye.The two brothers waited in a dark alley on the cat's arrivement. They heard rumbling on the left of them. The cat jumped out and attacked Will. Jacob took the gun and shot. The gunshot was louder than expected. The cat yelled it out. Jacob shot the cat right in the chest. The cat ran away while blood dripping from it's chest. The brothers cheered on their victory and went home. It was already midnight so they went to bed. The next morning, the two boys jumped out of bed. Jacob hung the gun above is bed. Will ran downstairs only to find his father sitting silently at the table. He asked what happened.
Jacob came downstairs right on time to see his father callopse in tears. Their father said that they would understand if they saw what was upstairs in his room. The boys walked upstairs curious of what was behind the door. They saw blooddrups on the stairs. Once they opened it, their faces turned in horror. Their beloved mother was laying in the bed surrounded by blood. Within the middle of her chest a huge gap.
