Fate Intertwined: Nightly Disturbance
There were no sounds. Only the steady drip drip drip of water. It fell down from a broken rainpipe. That rainpipe belonged to a small house. Not that you could call it a house, more like a small mountain of plastic and carton.
Actually, in this area, every house looked like this.
The people who lived here were poor. Very poor. They were mostly people who had once been normal, but had fallen down on the social ladder. All these people had one thing in common.
They were in danger.
A beast lurked in the shadows, breathing, waiting for the chance to swallow its prey.
There was a certain beast. The people said it was black, like ashes, with bright red eyes. During the night, it came and attacked innocent people. That’s why all of the civilians stayed inside during the night.
But tonight, they would find out that even the small plastic walls couldn’t keep out the beast. Not when it was hungry. And it was very hungry.
The old couple had lived here their whole life. They didn’t know anything else than fighting to survive.
Most of the time,the couple stayed up at night. But, tonight they had been so tired that they fell asleep where they stood. And that’s why the old couple was now sound asleep.
Neither of them heared the scratching noises at their door. Nor the creaking when their door was pushed open. They didn’t see the glowing red eyes that looked at them, scanning the room and its occupants.
It glared at them, checking to see if they were indeed asleep. They were.
The beast stepped inside.
It was hungry, and It wanted food. Its mouth watered when It smelled they scent of flesh and meat. These preys where from It and It would be the one to ravish the things It caught.
The monster had heard the stories that were being told around here. It knew they were about It.
It didn’t mind that, but because of it there were less and less preys. It was angry on that because now it had to sneak into the rooms of Its preys. And that was difficult.
It would have never tried it before, but the hunger had driven it out, since It hadn’t eaten from the day the small prey had escaped It.
But now, nothing was in Its way to stop It from devouring this meal.
The beast slipped silently into the room and snuck over to were the couple lay.
It didn’t really take a look at them, but instead It attacked them.
Before the man and woman were able to scream, they had died. The throat cut off and blood splattered everywhere.
The beast bent down to silently eat Its meal when It perked Its ears and looked up.
It had heared something. A sort of scuffling.
The beast snuck of, Its dark fur mingling with the shadows. Outside It looked around again and spotted a man.
That thing would steal Its prey. It snarled, It didn’t want that!
Without a sound, It sneaked after the figure. When the man turned a small corner the beast pounced him. He never had a chance to defend himself…
The beast was angry. It really was. How dare these insolent creatures defy It?
It was hungry, and yet, It could never seem to find the time to eat. All because of these… These stupid humans!!
It was angry and It sought revenge. Then It noticed all the houses around It. It growled low under Its breath. Off course… Its revenge was right here.
And off it snuck, ready to exact Its revenge.
In every house It came, It slaughtered people. Some screamed but no one could run far with the beast on their tale.
In every street It passed, It started an uproar of panicking people.
All of them, all these poor civilians, ran for their life, and died.
During the better part of the night It ripped, and broke and shredded flesh and bone.
It was mad and It wouldn’t stop, not in a long while.
Finally, It calmed down and settled to eat some of the cadavers.
After a while, It stopped and started to lick Itself clean from the blood and gore on Its fur.
When the beast was pleased with that, It ran. It ran all the way to the catacombs and fell asleep in Its usual spot.
This time however, It didn’t have nightmares.
This time It dreamed off Its favorite activity. It dreamed off blood and hunting and causing pain.
It liked these activities because It didn’t know better.
But It didn’t only dream of that. It also dreamed of something weird, something It had never seen before. It was obviously one of these creatures who stood on their hind legs. But this one was special.
It could feel that. And not only in feel, also in looks. This creature had purple hair. And it was kind.
The beast didn’t know that, It only dreamed It and It liked it.
The beast made small sounds and curled a little thighter in a ball.
For now, It would lay down for a while. It had eaten enough to stay like this for a couple of days.
