Garen heard his heart pound louder in his chest like a ticking time bomb. It felt too surreal to him as he looked shockingly at the foul and stained head, covered in flies. He held his mouth to prevent him from throwing up in the hole that someone dug for him... His face became completely green. Garen turned away from the head as he tried to crawl up the wall. Luckily, the hole wasn't too deep... But he was so shocked that his vision became dizzy... But the picture of Fabien flashed through his head in an instant... I have to take Fabien and get the fuck out of here as fast as possible! There is surely something wrong with this forest... He thought as he climbed the dirty surface. What kind of hunter would do this? Are there more of these traps that could cut someone's head off?
He couldn't believe it was Damien's head. Garen unintentionally bit his lip.
He touched the wet dirt on the surface as he finally managed to climb up with his upper body. But he began to widen his eyes in shock as he noticed someone standing in front of him. He could just see their shoes... They looked like thick black boots. They were too huge to be Fabien's...
"Ohh... Looks like more prey fell into my trap.", someone said with a low and sinister voice. It sounded almost high with amusement... Garen gritted his teeth as he didn't dare to look up... But out of nowhere someone grabbed his hair and he was forced to stare into their dead eyes.
Shudder went down his spine. He didn't expect to see glowing, red, vampire-like eyes. A hint of madness and a foul scent of blood came from the thing. It didn't look like a human but then again.. It had all the features that a human would have. It was too dark in the forest... But he still noticed the man's shiny blond hair under the moonlight as it waved through the cold wind. He rubbed his sharp claws over Garen's skin... But Fabien's Dad was too paralyzed to respond immediately.
A scream escaped through the forest.
Fabian instantly widened his eyes in shock as soon as he figured out the owner of this voice. He instantly shot up from the tent as he grabbed his flashlight once again.
"Dad!", he screamed, instantly running off from the tent. His legs moved him to the direction where the scream came from. The painful screeching didn't stop, which made Fabien's heart race faster and faster. But out of nowhere, he felt this strong and unwelcoming mysterious aura grabbing him... It made him almost collapse or sink into despair.
But he finally managed to reach his Dad. The boy stood in front of the dark scene which he didn't expect to see.
It made him almost puke on the ground. The foul stench of blood crept through his nose as he looked at his Dad with wide eyes.
Fabien was petrified.
But what shocked him the most was that 'thing' on top of him. It was almost skinny, covered in a bloody white shirt and black boots. Its hair was platinum blonde, but what stood out the most was its bloodshot eyes.
That thing looked into Fabien's direction with a wide and empty smile, like a lion would give its prey. Even though Fabien's instinct screamed at him to run away, he couldn't move his trembling legs.
"Get out of here Fabien! This man is crazy!", he heard his father shout, consumed in pain and fear. This wasn't a grizzly bear... This was some kind of vampire.
Garen struggled to get out of his grip as that thing almost strangled him to death. Its claws grew longer and sharper with each second which made his heart race faster. He pushed the crazy man away as he finally tried to escape with his boy. But it rather ended up like a fight for his last breath... The thing was too strong to get him off of him.
Fabien screeched in pure shock and disbelief as he saw that thing, ramming his claws in the back of his Dad. He widened his eyes as he slowly stepped back. Blood spread all over the scene and Fabien couldn't help but stare in shock at the red liquid that covered his vision.
