It was a cool spring night in the contryside. The wind blew rustling the trees a little. There was a hoot of an owl which the bird flew off. Most likely seeing a field mouse to catch as its food.
Inside a small cabin like house was a young couple. The wife was in the kitchen scrubbing off a plate in the sink. The husband came into the kitchen kissing her alongside the forehead.
"I'll be back inside, Amelia," he spoke with affection. "I'm going to check on the horses and cows."
"Okay."
The man steps outside which he closes the door behind himself. He walks down a few steps then strolls to the barn. The man opens the barn door which the smell of farm animals fill his nostils. The horses greets with a neigh while the cows moo.
Back inside the house, Amelia turned on a radio. Music began to play through the speaker which she set the volume to a proper setting. The lady then went back to washing the dishes.
Inside the barn, the man was checking the buckets of food for the animals. The horeses suddenly whipped their heads to the door. A weird gurgling sound was coming from outside. The horses began to neigh in fright! The horses spooked caused the cows to freak out too. The horses then began to kick about jumping up-and-down.
The man stopped filling the buckets with food. He looks at the horses to see they were spooked. By what was beyond the question? Could have been from a snake that was slithering by. Why would the horses be this terrified though?
"Whoa! Whoa!" shouts the man rushing to the horses. "Easy, boys, easy!" he attempts to soothe. "What scared you?"
Just then, the man too heard the strange gurgling sound. He looked to the barn door with startle of what was making that noise. The man reached to his waist. He clutched a handle to a pistol. The man raised the pistol out in front of him.
"Who goes there?" asking he says as he waited for whoever was outside. The man hoped that it was nobody and only a possible wolf.
At the same time, shadows of figures crawling to the house appeared. Amelia was finishing washing the dishes. Right as she turned off the radio, she heard a gun shot go off. The lady looks to the back door with concern. There was a shout that echoed. "Aughhhh!" Amelia slowly walks to the door which she looks through the window.
"Kurt?"
She did not see her husband which meant he was still out in the barn. The lady clutches the door knob and slightly opens the door. Amelia suddenly had an unexpected visitor in front of the door.
A bony pale flesh person appeared in the crack of the door! This person had eyes that were pure white with no pupils. Its jaw dangling down showing rotton teeth as slim drooled between. The person had grey greasy strands of hair. The person made a gurgling sound that was eerie to hear. The person reached for her through the crack!
"Ahhhhh!" she screams while slamming the door.
There was the sound of a crack! that came from the arm in the door. The lady began to step backwards with startle as she breathed with fear. Even though the arm had been broken, the hand pried the door open. Amelia quickly turned around and ran into the main room.
The windows were being shattered as more pale bony people broke the glass! They wiggled their way through the broken windows. These people made gurgling sounds too. These people were rabib!
She rushed up the stairs to the second level to the house. The lady tripped which she glanced back down. There was a bony hand grasping her ankle. The rabib person was trying to drag her down. Amelia wiggled her leg which eventually she was able to kick the person in the face. The rabib person let go of her ankle after been kicked between the eyes.
She ran up the rest of the stairs and to a door which she opened. Amelia slammed the door and locked it before running to the bed. She knelt down on the floor and reached under the bed. The lady pulled out a safe which she opens with a key.
Amelia grips a pistol in her hand. She stands up loading the pistol with bullets. The lady then unlocks the safety trigger and aims the pistol at the door. Amelia placed her finger on the trigger ready to pull back on it if these rabid people attacked.
The door was being scratched by the rabib people. Her heart beat fast with fear and concern. She hoped that her husband was okay. The lady would hate to think that he could be out in the barn either needing medical attention or dead.
The door was beginning to slinter from the rabib people scratching at the door like a cat!
Amelia continued pointing the pistol at the door. She began to shake a little with fear of what was going to happen to her. If Kurt was dead, at least the lady would be with him, if she was killed by these rabib people.
The door was more and more splintering which black nails peered through. Eventually, the door gave way which, many wood pieces went flying! Amelia momentarily covered her face from getting struck at by the wood. One sharp wood piece struck her across the arm. The sharp end gave her a scratch which begun to bleed.
The rabib people began to crawl on the floor. The lady lowered her pistol at them which she still shook with fear. Amelia pulled the trigger which the pistol shot off a bullet. The bullet struck one of the rabib people. Unfortunately though, the bullet did not kill the person. Instead, the rabib person was bleeding black oozes!
Terrified even more, she began to hyperventilate. The pistol did not do her any good. Apparently these rabib people were neither dead nor alive. There was a loud scream that echoed in the nigh from the lady!
"Aughhhhhh!"
