Days and hours flew by... Candy and Dellen were really scared. The walls felt as if it was closing up on them.. the wind was making it sound like a ghost was whispering to them. Dellen crawled in Candy's shirt shaking, Candy looked up at the window seeing a pair of red eyes.
"KITE?''. Candy thought as she got up, Dellen began pulling her leg.
"NO!". Dellen said.
"Don't worry it's only Kite!". Candy said as she pressed her hands against the window calling for him, the creature came as Candy opened the window about to give him a hug. The creature sniffed her arm then growled.
"CANDY!!". Dellen said running up to her. The creature outside grabbed Candy's arm clawing it biting it, Candy began screaming struggling to get her arm back. Dellen ran up to the beast gnawing at it's flesh the beast howled then threw Dellen back in the window as it ran away. Candy sat there in shock.
"IT.. WASN'T HIM... THE BEAST WAS HUNGRY, IT COULD'VE KILLED YOU!".
"STUPID GIRL I AM!, why did I do that?".
"YOUR LOVE FOR HIM IS REMARKEABLE, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.. BUT THAT THING IS HEADED TOWARDS TOWN!.. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!!".
"You're right! Come on let's go!".
"WAIT.. WRAP YOUR ARM UP SO IT WON'T GET INFECTED!".
"You're starting to sound like my mother!".
"JUST DO IT!".
"Fine!". Afterwards, Candy and Dellen ran outside into the town.. many people were asleep so it was going to be hard to announce the news.
"WE NEED A NETWORK SYSTEM!..''. Dellen said.
"Look! The tower!".
"GOOD! HURRY, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME..THAT THING CAN KILL ALL OF THE CITIZENS IN JUST ONE BITE!!".
"What are you going to do?".
"I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR THAT MONSTER MYSELF, IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT YOU GOT BIT!". Dellen said as they both separated. Candy tried going in the door, but it was locked and no one was there so her next option was to climb the tower so she did.
"Please I hope I don't fall!" .Candy said.
"IF THE WHOLE TOWN GOES DOWN SO WILL I!!". Dellen said as he punched the creature.
"WELL IF IT ISN'T DELLEN!".
