"Stillborn" tells the chilling story of the eponymous Pontianak - a Malaysian vampiress. Synopsis: When burgeoning oddities collector Aaron brings home his latest acquisition -- a mysterious, macabre, totem. He gets much more than he bargained for. The piece is soon revealed to harbour something dark, malevolent, and ancient. Something that has plans for Aaron and his friends, and will use tonight's friendly gathering, as a means of satiating its voracious appetite for blood.

It started fighting the pain, crawling on the floor, but Karima's sadness did not consume her and patiently she took the long knife and stabbed the beast's back multiple times until rivers of blood started to flow and filled the floor with red dirt. The creature groaned a few times, but after several seconds of agony, it was inexplicably going limp and disappeared like it never truly existed." "The bathroom walls were a crimson mess, and Ady's dead body was sprawled out on the floor. The creature kneeled down next to him, feeding. It was a horrific sight, to see this monster with its teeth sinking tireless into a man's breathless body. Ady's eyes were removed from his orbits, and his mouth was still open, from his attempt to scream. Hungry growls filled up the bathroom, while Ady's interior was brutally devoured. On the face of the creature was contemptuous pleasure, without any mercy towards the pale and disfigured human being in front of it. It was atrociously heinous."

I was to only call her on my cell phone if I have an "unexpected accident" and this was one. "Mom," I dropped my things because I could barely stand up let alone hold a binder, my math, psychology, and biology books all at the same time. I clutched my side, with my now empty hands, to stop the blood flow. I was losing my vision and I could barely breathe. Then the dizziness started in. "You need...to come and get...me...I...something has... I need you to-" Then I lost my balance and my strength. I dropped my phone and fell to the ground. The last thing I saw was Alyssa with her phone pointed toward me, smiling and mouthing something like, "Smile for the camera", and a teacher I've never seen before walking towards me. Suddenly, everything went dark...
