When something causes everyone in a small, infamous town to go missing without a trace, only six people remain. Some agents have been sent to protect them, but that won't keep them safe forever. Just because you're immortal, doesn't mean that you ca...
After the video finished, the agents went to work reviewing the footage further while the animals were in shock. Some from seeing themselves in the video and remembering when it was recorded, while others were in terror of how badly things got in a short amount of time. Shadow faintly heard something from outside the house, but thought it was just the wind.
A couple seconds after that, Mime burst into the room with a panicked expression on his face. Causing everyone to turn to him. "Hey man, what's wrong? You look all shaken up!" Russell asked the deer. Mime started explaining to the group of what presumably made him freak out, but he didn't speak. He was making all these random motions and signals, as if he was acting out the events that he witnessed.
A couple were visibly confused, while some others tried to translate what Mime was trying to tell them.
"Uh, a wall? No! A window!" "W-Waving your arms?! No, going up?" "Something...big? Oh, glasses? Binoculars??" "My shirt? You mean red...? Oh! You mean, red eyes!?" "Um, tongue! U-Uh, hang on.... Ugh! What are you trying to say!?" "Fan? No, hair! Scary hair! Scary tongue! Fangs! Vampire!?" "Panicked! Scared! ....Fear?"
Mime eventually stopped to catch his breath, which gave everyone time to figure out the hints he gave them.
"I think he said something about a window... and red eyes." Luna thought out loud. "He kept pointing out to some kind of mouth, 'scary tongue, and large fangs', or so I think." Cuddles added. Shadow remained silent as she stared at the ground, until she suddenly perked up.
"I think I know what he's trying to say!" She exclaimed. "Speak then!" Fliqpy hissed back. "I think Mime is saying that he saw something in the window, which had the facial features that he was describing, and that caused him to freak out..." She added.
"It was a snake, wasn't it!?" Shadow finished as she pointed to Mime. A smile grew across his face as he nodded excitedly. "I mean, he was being pacific, but the details he was giving weren't very clear since he was frantically doing them." Petunia explained. "But still, she was the first to fully figure it out!" Flippy added. "Amazing work, Shadow!" Sunny praised the tiger as she rubbed her head, who purred back.
"Hold up, a s-snake?!" Everyone was reminded of what the deer was saying earlier, and turned to Russell, who looked pretty disturbed. "You mean, you saw it?" Fliqpy asked the otter. "No, but I heard it! It was a h—"
Hissss!
"Li-Like that!" Russell panicked when he heard the sudden noise, but everyone else heard it too. "Alright, who did that!? This is the worst time for jokes!" Bella asked, starting to panic herself. "You really think we'd be having fun with this?!" Cuddles shouted back. "Look, this is no time to be ar—" Shadow tried to calm things down, but she froze when she looked at the window.

Two large red eyes were clearly seen outside the window, and on a very rare occasion, Mime actually spoke.
"It's h-here..."
Just as the deer said that, the snake hissed aggressively as it began ramming it's head into the glass. Screams erupted from the poor animals, which rattled and echoed in the tiger's sensitive ears. She tightly grabbed her ears and began shouting.
The snake continued ramming the glass as the screams only got louder. The snake suddenly broke though the latch, causing the windows to fly open. The snake stuck it's head inside and glared at it's terrified victims. Shadow was now on the verge of tears, she was hyperventilating, still shouting that same word. Everyone knew that they had to leave, NOW.
"C'MON, LET'S GET—"
"OUUUUTTT!!!!!!!!" Shadow suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, causing some to cover their own ears. The tiger was now sobbing, she bolted out of the room, and grabbed Handy, who was just waking up after regenerating.
"W-What's going on— OH WHAT THE F—" Handy was taken into the garage just as he saw the snake. Everyone else ran for it. They all ran into the garage, where Shadow was already in the driver seat of Petunia's car, about to start it up. Handy huddled in the passenger seat, completely shocked of what he saw only a few seconds earlier. The doors flew open as the animals were frantically trying to get in the car. The other agents were trying to get in the car too. They were shouting that they tried to shoot the snake, but the bullets had no effect. Shadow didn't care how many were in the car, and floored it.
She drove out of the garage as soon as it was opening. The back doors were still open as many struggled to hold on.
The world is spinning.
Everything is in chaos.
A sharp drift caused some of the group to fly out of the car and onto the road, where the vehicle proceeded to drive off without them.
Everything is in overload.
If this is a nightmare, wake me up!
"SHADOW!! THE BORDER!!!"
The car crashed right through the steel border that acted as a fence between the town and the wilderness. Glass shattered and screams combined as the car fell into the pit of tall trees. The screams and sounds all faded into silence.
