He was there alone, crouched, hands hugging his knees while he cried his eyes off.
Ears still numb after the loud click sound.
He had trouble breathing the more air he inhaled, it was contaminated with violet dust.
A few seconds have passed, he began feeling strong stomping vibrations coming from all around him on the ground.
On the horizon he witnessed hundreds of horrific beasts, some had horns, some wings, others both, but they definitely all looked eager to feast.
The little kid panicked, he got up, and peeked anxiously in ever each direction, really fast hoping to find and escape.
His hands were trembling, his voice shaking as he implored his creator some, and called his mother some.
The beasts were now a few meters away.
He crouched again put his head between his knees and covered the whole with his arms.
"I'm gonna die, i'm gonna die, i'm gonna die..." He cried repeatedly to himself as he strived to breathe.
Those echoing words resonated loudly in his mind, that he began imagining his nostalgic joyful days with his mother.
Fading memories of her feeding, playing, teaching and holding him.
A last grasp of his beloved, away from the calamity he got involved in, while he waited for his inevitable fate.
...
Suddenly, it all went quiet for a while.
He raised his head and opened his eyes.
He saw a demi-man demi-demon wearing white clothes, with blue lines and a hood over his head from which a horn protruded out of his left forehead.
The borderline between the demon and the human side glitched, each was striving to take control of the rest of the body.
The kid then looked around him, dead fiend corpses were laying on the ground.
his clothes now sullied with blood and guts from the dead things.
The wight then extended his hand palm up to the kid, inviting him to grab it.
Which he hesitantly did.
He then walked behind the demi-human who said: "Hush, hush boy, Ecclector is here now" in a rather assuring yet cunning modulated voice.

I was walking to the grocery store when I thought some one was following me
I turned around and saw no one there so I brushed it off by the way my name is Lara and I was being followed by someone my whole life!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I WAS about to turn the corner when someone grabbed me and used their hands to cover mt mouth. I struggled and managed to push the person off and started sprinting down the street, yelling 'HELP'. I turned back to get a glance at the man who attacked me.
I saw his face and it was Der!!!
"What the hell Derek!"I shouted " I was scared shit-less that it was a kidnapper or murderer or gang member" It was NYC, who knew what happens at night and what kind of dangerous people are out there.
"Shh"he said and covered my mouth. I bit his hand and he removed his hand from my mouth.
"Ah, what was that for?" he yelled, his eyes getting darker as he pouted and rubbed his hand.
"I don't know what you're up to but you're so being dumped"I told him. He was acting crazy and it was driving me insane because he wasn't telling me anything.
He growled and ran towards him with his hands out wide to try and grab me, but I turned and kicked him in the leg as he fell to the ground.
"Ha take that I took karate" I said proudly as he was groaning. I was a black belt student. I started sprinting when I turned the corner I saw Derek again with his eyes as dark as the night sky. What happened to his blue eyes?!
"But you w-we-were- right there and n now you're here what? and w what happened to your eyes?"I kept stuttering. He seemed so brooding and dangerous and he didn't seem like the Der I knew and loved.
Before I knew it, darkness succumbed me.
