MONSTERS WITHIN

Chapter 1

He hears me...doesn't he?

The thought raced across Peter's mind as he was hiding under his bed, big and loud heavy footsteps walked into his room.

"I have to get out...I have to!" Peter softly said to himself, He crawled out from underneath his bed---until a shot of pain goes through his ankle, he looks down and sees a big ghastly hand, piercing his skin with it's sharp claws causing it to bleed.
And one glowing eye

Dark red as his blood.

And a big toothy bloody grin.

"FOUND YOU"

-----------------------------

Welcome to Toronto Canada

Peter sighed as his aunt drove past the sign.

"Welcome to back to Canada....home of the Blue leafs and a whole lotta hockey.. " Peter said to himself, "What was that Pete?" Peter's aunt johnna asked, "Nothing... it's.... it's strange being back in Canada...." Peter replied looking out the window, "I see.... probably because....... y'know......how bout we get some Chinese tonight? Sounds good buddy?" Johnna said with a smile, ",...yeah..sure thing...thanks Aunt.." peter stifled a smile as they drove past a highschool. "That's where you're going in a few days!" Peter's aunt said with glee, Immediately when peter heard that his ears perked up,
"Wh-what?! I'm n-not ready for s-school!" I yelled as I shoot aunt Johnna a worried look, "Your 15 years old Peter...it's time to grow up! And head to highschool... your father would've wanted this..." As soon as she said that Peter's eyes swelled with tears, and he looks out the window hoping that Johnna wouldn't notice. "..c'mon...you got this...say it to yourself okay?" Johnna said, "I....i..got this.." peter hesitantly said
a

s they drove past the high school. Peter sees another Coyote just like him, but with red hair and white fur sitting on a lunch table. Peter softly waved at the coyote, "Hi" he mouthed out the words to him, The other coyote didn't noticed, as he was drawing something on his phone.
Peter sighed,
"...how long am I here?" He asked, "Well...it depends...if I get my job or not.." Johnna had applied for a job as a waitress at a restaurant. When she broke the news to peter, peter was scared going back to Canada. Thinking that it was still there waiting
"..ooh! Look at that peter!"
He looks up to see a tall skyscraper, the famous one he always heard about. "Damn..looks taller in person" peter said
"Hehe! Yeah..yeah your right!" Aunt Johnna replied with a bold sense of confidence. As they drove past the neighborhood looking for there new house, peter looked out the window and stared at the clouds, and he starts getting memories, from when he was young with his father.

"That one looks like a elephant!!!" Peter replied with joy
"Hahah!! It does! Good eye Petey!"
CJ replied smiling at his son
Peter sat right next to his father on the roof looking at the clouds together on a cold rainy cloudy Toronto Canada day.
"Hey Daddy?" Peter said sitting upright holding a little teddy bear witch he promptly named Honey
"Yes buddy?" CJ replied with his hands behind his head
"...is...is mommy up there..?" Peter replied with a worried tone in his voice. Because he knows what happens if he accidentally brings up his mother.
"...she's....she's happy where she is....i promise...and we're gonna see her again one day..i promise Petey..."
Peter smiled, as he hugged his father's leg.
"Thanks daddy...i love you..."
"You're welcome...I love you too..." He began to ruffle Peter's hair, then he hands him his red beanie,
"That's yours to keep okay Pete?"
Peter put on the cap, it slowly fell over his eyes
"Heheh!! Thanks Daddy!!"

"Peter?" Aunt Johnna poked Peter's shoulder
Peter jumped, awaking from that little memory of his,
"Huh? ...oh...we're here.."
Peter looked out his passenger door window at a old shoddy mansion looking home. His father's old home, the one where....that night...took place.
"...home sweet home..." Peter softly said to himself
"We can rebuild it!" Aunt Johnna said as she walks out of her car door "like I say.. everything new becomes old-"
"And everything old becomes new...I remember aunty.." peter said smiling back at her, "That's my nephew.." she responded with pride,
"...it...it actually looks the same....same as it was before...still the same after...after dad's....sniff.." peter began softly crying, as he heard his father's words. His final words.

"Don't st-stop...don't stop believing in yourself....make...make the right choices...and please...don't forget me...I love you Petey...I love you so much......"

"I....oh fuck for sakes Peter chill out...you big pussy......." Peter wipes his tears away, and walks in the building with his suitcase, And with the strange uneven feeling of being watched.
