Toys,clothes,were scattered all over the room; there was alot of smoke along with two semi conscious bodies; Was what I returned to or so I assumed. It took me a awhile to realise that this wasn't a dream.
At first I panicked as any person would, were they in a situation such as this. I tired to calm down and think properly. My first resort was to call the ambulance and the police. With careful steps I tried to find the telephone, in this dark room,with the bedside lamp being my only source of light.
While shuffling around in the room, I cringed as I stepped in a pool of liquid. I got hold of the bedside lamp to see what it was. My face went pale, I horrified as I realised what the red liquid was.
Then it hit me, the toys scattered around. There should be a- ....just then I heard the sound of a baby crying. I ran towards where it was coming from. It was coming from behind the door that led to the ......basement.
I flung open the door, to see it taking the child. Adrenaline rushed into me. I rushed towards it. I brought up the protective charm and hurriedly said the mantra. It screamed in agony, letting go of the child. The child quickly ran behind me as it withered away.
The police and the ambulance had arrived after awhile. The family had been taken to the hospital. Fortunately, they weren't in any serious or critical state. I was interrogated.
It was a creature that had appeared recently. We are yet to know where it had come from or what it was. The only major thing we have been able to achieve as of yet was the protective seal and the mantra which when used against It makes it wither away.
From further research in trying to study it more, we have gathered the theory that It appears where there is happiness and love and feeds upon it.
It mostly comes after children from ages 0 - 4 as they tend to be the closest to other dimensions.
