Evie Pov
~two months later~
I have kept my promise to my mom, i would be the happy girl i have always been.

It took some time to adjust, the feeling of heartbreak still wavered over us for some time.

But thats the thing when it comes to loss, you pull through it, and make it out.

You may have scars left, weather emotional, or physical, but you cant let it get in the way of your life.

"Evie" i heard my dad say as he walked out of the hallway, i was seated on the couch watching Jessie.

"Me and Allen are going to be gone for a bit, you can handle being alone for a while cant you?" He asked.

I immediately shook my head yes, i really wanted to stay home alone.

"Alright, i will see you soon honey" he kissed my cheek and him and Allen walked twards the door.

"And be careful, it s full moon tonight" Allen said as he did fake ghost noises.

I laughed and shook my head, the supernatural isn't real and we both like to joke about it.

I know that my mom was super into ancient myths but that was the one thing i never understood about her.

The only thing strange in my life is the mark on my wrist that was there since birth.

The thin sideways oval with the dot on top and on the bottom.

About an hour later it was pitch black out, it was getting close to midnight and i felt tiredness sweep over me.

I turned the tv off and stood up to get to bed when i heard terrible noises from the horses outside.

I jumped and went to the window as the sounds got louder, it sounded terrified, in pain and i heard inhumly growls coming from the same direction.

I opened up the curtain to the window just as the awful sounds stopped.

I looked around the the horse field, the fog and darkness making it a bit hard to see.

Untill my eyes met with another pair of eyes...not normal eyes, these eyes were glowing a cold icy blue color.

I froze as the eyes stared right back at me. It was a man. A big man. And at his feet was Skipper, a dusty grey horse we have.

He was torn apart, slashed all over his body, and blood...so much blood.

I covered my mouth in shock and the man took a step twards me and my heart stopped.

Without a second thought, i ran from the window and down the hall, heart pumping and adrenaline fueled by my fear.

A loud roar came from outside that shook me to the core as i raced down the stairs headed to the basement where i could go out that door.

The sound of the glass of the window shattering, the thud of a body hitting the ground.

I got down the stairs, heart pounding, and the fear made me want to cry.

I looked through the darkness as the man got closer, his footsteps sounding from behind me.

I found the door just as i looked back and was met with his glowing blue eyes and i slammed the door shut and pushed myself against it as i felt him slam himself against it.

I locked the door from the outside and stepped back from it as the mans large claws scraped against the door and the growling sounds he made that only terrified me more.

What is he!? That thing!?

I know that door wont hold him long so i took off up the small hill.

My legs hurt, running up a hill but i ignored it as my feet pounded against the ground.

I heard the door break apart and i looked back and the man with glowing eyes had already started up the hill twards me as i picked up my pace.

I ran as the mans footsteps got closer and i felt its claws slash across my back as i screamed in pain.

I made it out of my dirt driveway and ran down the rode despite the pain seething from my back.

"HELP!!" I screamed as ran passed the few houses.

"HELP ME!" I screamed again before i was tackled to the ground landing
landing on my stomach and i grunted as i hit the ground.

The man flipped me over and i cried out as my injured back hit the ground with force.

"LET ME GO!" I screamed at him, and saw the large teeth he had, almost like a wolf, he looked almost animal like and he let out a loud roar in my face as i screamed in fear and squinted my eyes shut, feeling his fast breath in my face.

I tried to struggle in his grip and he stuck his claws in my arms and i screamed again as tears began falling from my eyes.

He then lifted up his hand about to slash at me and my eyes went wide.

Then without thinking i thrusted my hand out twards his chest "NO!" I screamed as my hand hit and he suddenly went flying off of me.

He went off atleast twenty feet away from me and lay on his back, not moving.

I felt the stinging pain in my back and arms and sat up gripping my arms as blood poured out and i felt blood seeping through the back of my clothes.

How did i do that? That was impossible, he is a fully grown man and i am thirteen year old girl, how did that happen?

I sat there and cried untill i heard footsteps behind me and and my neighbor John, kneeled down infront of me with the most terrified expression at the sight of me.

"Evie, what happened!?" He panicked.

"I- he-" i tried but my sobs were too much to speak as i held my arms were the blood hadn't stopped.

"Its alright, your okay, i have already called 911" he said.

I nodded and sirens showed up behind us.

I heard people yelling to each other and a few paramedics came twards us.

They picked me up and lay me on a stretcher and started wheeling me to the ambulance and i looked back at were that man lay.

He was gone.

I remember what my mom said to me before she died. 'I cant tell you what your future holds, but it will not be easy' her words played in my head 'you will find out soon'.

Is this something she was talking about?

All i know is that the mans eyes will forever haunt me...those glowing blue eyes...
