They have been seen in this neighborhood, at every curfew the windows and doors have been padlocked since the sign was posted:
“Wanted: Loose beast kills 80-year-old man
This is what everyone is talking about today, apparently an animal had entered the gentleman's yardTod, he had his guard down and…
I devoured him, leaving no body, no blood, just bones and skin.
The smell was the worst, the tears running down the faces of their loved ones, and the approach of the vultures.
Everyone is scared, they think they are wolves or coyotes but our residential area is very far from the woods, I suppose it is more of a killer.
I know it sounds normal since people are in danger, but that wasn't his first victim. It all started the night before the countdown to ring in the new year.
My parents always threw a big party for the family and neighbors, being community council members, so the noise and complaints to the police weren't unusual. My cousin Rody and I were always in charge of watching the kids. Of course, as teenagers, this was the same as saying we were one of them. However, it was either that or being grounded until next month.
"Owen! Come here please!" "There's my aunt's conceited screech."
"What do you need from me, dear aunt?" The muscles of my mouth are tied by my forced smile.
"Go take the food to your sister, I have enough to do with taking care of my children."
“Of course, dear aunt…witch,” I whispered at the end.
I returned to the children's table to help my sister eat; when I looked back at the buffet, her red-haired doll had taken her place.
Out of sheer terror, the plate slipped from my hands. My first reaction was to run around the neighborhood inquiring about its location. The sudden light and the sound of footsteps made me more alert than before.
“Idiot! Don’t scare me like that.” He pointed his phone’s light at my face as the wind grew colder.
Rody's angry tone was not only a sign of anger but also of concern.
"Listen, just help me. Molly wasn't at the kids' table and I'm looking for her." I explained quickly; it's getting dark. I don't want her to be the next victim on a poster.
His face was serious at first, a barely perceptible grimace marking his expression. But after a few seconds, he sighed in resignation and rubbed his brow, remembering that, after all, this was his cousin.
The pain in my soles is the obvious result of a long walk, there are no signs that any adults have followed us, I feel my lungs growing and returning to their original size.
Rody didn't want to waste any more time going deeper into the woods with the possibility of finding her; he knew she was smart; a child would panic in a completely unfamiliar place.
Just then, a playful voice drifted through the air current; I knew that tone; what had once been my aching feet became stronger, ready to chase after her.
The echoes grew closer to the point where I could hear his mellow voice and a clearer one.
Then I laughed so hard that milk came out of my nose.
“That must have hurt,” the second voice exclaimed.
She was no shorter than me, she had short, curly, fluffy hair, a very developed body, complemented by a red button-down shirt and long, school-style socks.
My steps took a slow pace as I approached, until "that" smell reached my nostrils. I perceived a faint earthy scent with a metallic undertone; the second figure stood up and walked in another direction, which I took advantage of to grab Molly and rescue her. The grassy ground was my ally as I approached, and when I reached for my sister's tiny hand, a pang of pain stabbed into my left shoulder.
It was when the moon illuminated his beautiful, or should I say… horrific, gaze; the pain of feeling his teeth tug at my flesh only made me want to escape as quickly as possible.
The sharp blast directed at her nose gave me time to grab my little sister and run as far away as possible, however something was pulling at my ankle and the feeling of a coiling… a tail.
Again his teeth sank into my ankle, I screamed with all my might, not only from the pain, but also for help.
"Hey!" The brightness almost blinded me with its power; the hungry female let go of me and vanished without wasting any time; but I couldn't tell which direction to go when I closed my eyes because of the little blood I had left in my body.
I felt my body stiffen as I stood up. I was in the hospital, and the nurse, seeing my obvious signs of life, went straight to tell my family doctor. Hissing in pain beneath my bandages.
You were lucky, kid. He only gave you a few bites and scratches. Do you know what animal attacked him?
It wasn't an animal, it was a woman.
He looked at me like I was the biggest liar in the world, then it changed to a worried look, as if he had remembered something.
By the way, I'm sorry for your loss.
One Loss? What happened to my sister?
1. It's about Rody, his body was not found, only his skin and bones.
Being a teenager is supposed to be about having fun and relaxing, but with that monster gone, I don't even trust my own shadow anymore.
