Lost (From)

She's survived the town for a year-long enough to stop being afraid of the dark in the way newcomers are. Long enough to become someone others look to when things go wrong.

She doesn't panic. She doesn't freeze. She handles it.

Her boyfriend grounds her. The town respects her. She knows the rules.

But something about her has broken one of them.

Because one of the creatures has stopped behaving like the others.

It doesn't rush.
It doesn't hunt the same way.

It watches.
It returns.
It remembers.

The man in the cowboy hat stands outside her window longer than he should. Smiles like he knows something. Like he's waiting.

And the worst part?

Sometimes...
it feels like he's not just watching her.

It feels like he's learning her.

**************************************
I do not own or claim any part of the story line of From or it's characters. Only my own character and alterations. There will be descriptions or violence, death, major character death. This will follow the plot so cowboy will not be arriving until later.

This is purely for my own amusement. Hopefully, someone else can enjoy this too.
