There used to be a woman, and she worked late nights. While coming home, her car fuel ran out. She was stuck in this atrocious place. It was dark, and it had lots of trees. There was no street sign. However, she saw this building so she decided to go inside it as it was dark outside. She went inside and saw a man with a white coat panting and hiding in a corner.
“Are you okay?” the woman asked.
“You need to hide, I cannot say anything right now as I’ve just met you.”
The woman was shocked, and feeling scared. The woman quickly hid with the man, who was a scientist. Soon, before their eyes, a large jet black creature came upon them. Next second, they screamed. The woman and scientist were never to be seen again.
The scientist had created this creature by accident. Nobody was supposed to go to this place, but a group of teens went, and let’s just say we shouldn’t talk about what was found of them but that they were never seen alive again.
The creature was now in town. It had seen all the people and was ready for them. People were scared to death.
Everybody was staying inside hiding. Some people HAD to go out for work. And those were the people who never came back home. Some people died because the creature had found them hiding, and some people died out of starvation or thirst because they forgot to bring food when they were hiding and didn’t have enough courage to go get it. In total, 150 people died because of these reasons. The creature decided to give up since he couldn’t find any more people and left.
There was this brave person who checked every day if the creature had left and that day when the creature had left, he cried tears of joy. However, it was never sure when the creature could come back.
14 Years Later
“Hope they don’t come after us, hahaha.”
“Don’t worry, Dylan, they don’t even know who we are, hahaha.”
“I have to go, bye.”
“Bye!”
Dylan was a 13 year old boy who lives in a big village. He was the only child. He was born a year after the incident (you know, that creature coming to the village). His parents told him to always be careful of the creature, but he didn’t care. He didn’t believe that the creature was real, although sometimes he did believe that the creature might be real because of him remembering his mother and father running with him. There was something behind them that they were running away from. But sometimes he just thought it was a dream.
“Mom! It’s not real. Now stop bugging me.”
His mom sighed. She wanted to convince Dylan that the creature was real so he could be more careful. But he just wouldn’t listen.
“Mom always talks about this nonsense!”
“Yeah, same. This stupid dangerous creature rubbish.”
“Anyway, let’s prank Mrs. Robins today!”
Dylan actually planned to go to the place that the creature used to stay to prove everyone wrong.
“Wanna have some Fuchka?”
“You bet I do!”
Fuchka was a common food in their village.
“I have to go finish homework, bye, Liam!”
“Please say you haven’t eaten Fuchka, you always eat it!” said Dylan’s mom.
“Sorry… I ate it,” said Dylan.
“Haven’t you heard about our neighbor who ate too much fuchka and then threw up for one WHOLE day and wasn’t able to digest anything?!”
“Mom, you know she threw up for a whole day, and wasn’t able to digest anything due to eating it for the first time. Her stomach didn’t recognize it.”
“Go to your room now!”
Dylan went to his room and started his homework, thankful he wasn’t grounded.
Dylan was a smart student, and he was also clever. His cleverness would help him for something big that was going to happen.
In the morning, Dylan went to Liam’s house. There was no school and he figured Liam would be awake.
“Hi, is Liam awake?” asked Dylan.
“Yes, he is,” said Liam’s mom.
“May I go inside to meet him?”
“Sure, come in.”
“Hey Liam, I need to talk to you about something.”
“Okay? What do you want to talk about?”
“Could we go outside?”
“Okay?” Dylan said, confused.
They stepped outside.
“You know that ‘creature,’ well, I was wondering if we could go secretly to the spot that it was hiding so we can prove everyone wrong.”
“Great idea, but when do you plan on going?” said Liam with a smirk on his face.
Liam also wanted everybody to stop talking about the creature.
“Around 7:00 PM?” said Dylan, answering Liam’s question with a stern face.
“Okay, let’s meet at your house though.”
“Okay, see you. Bye!”
At 7:00 PM, Liam came to Dylan’s house. Coincidentally, a young boy stabbed a young girl with scissors by accident. Everybody was helping the girl and trying to find the boy who ran away. This gave Dylan and Liam a better chance of not being caught. When they went, Dylan told Liam to go inside and yell his name if something was wrong while Dylan would see if there was anything outside the hideout.
Dylan realized that the place was dark and had lots of trees. That’s it. Next thing you know, Liam screamed. Dylan ran to Liam, and whatever Liam saw was gone. Dylan kept on asking Liam what he had seen, but Liam was shaking and not able to say anything.
“Liam! Are you okay?”
Liam shook.
“Sit down!”
Dylan sat Liam down.
“You seem traumatized! Let’s go home!”
They went home. Dylan took Liam home and told his mom that he had found him like this. He then whispered to his ear, “Don’t tell anyone.”
After going home that night, Dylan thought about the creature. Could it actually be real? Are we in danger? Thinking and thinking, he fell asleep.
For a week, he checked up on Liam every day, hoping he would get better, and if he could tell Dylan what he saw. One of the village people came running to Dylan’s house one day to tell him Liam had started talking. Dylan felt happy that his best friend was speaking, but also felt worried about whether he had told anybody what had happened. If Liam told anyone, then they would be in trouble and not be able to investigate.
He ran to Liam’s house and asked him if he was okay. Liam was stuttering and said he was okay.
“Are you okay?”
“Y-Yes.”
Dylan went to Liam’s house in the afternoon to talk to him about what he saw because there weren’t going to be many people around him at that time.
“Hey, Liam. What did you see? Is the creature real?”
Liam had stopped stuttering.
“I don’t know what I saw! It was jet black with no arms and white eyes.”
Dylan realized that was the description of the creature. He sat/fell down with his mouth wide open thinking about so many things. Liam gave Dylan a glass of water. Dylan drank the glass of water and said, “What are we going to do now?”
“I don’t know, we have to think of something,” said Liam.
They found out that the boy who stabbed the girl by “accident” came back. So to get their minds off of this for a while, they decided to go to the boy and ask him why he did this. The boy said, “I don’t know, I just blacked out and then next second, I realized I had stabbed someone.”
Dylan thought that when they went to see if the creature was real, it was there when the boy ran away.
“Wait, can it possess people?!?!” Dylan said out loud.
Liam then kicked Dylan in the leg.
The boy said, “Huh?”
“Nothing! We were working on a play and we are planning what the monster does in it.”
“Oh, okay,” said the boy.
Dylan and Liam then left and Dylan told Liam, “I think the creature can possess people!”
Since it was the evening, which was a perfect time to do something, Dylan and Liam went to the hideout, Liam put some bright flashlights inside the hideout. His mom told him that the creature only struck at evening or night because the light blinded it. A couple minutes later, they heard screeching and screaming. They ran away from the hideout, hoping and praying that everything would be all right.
17 Years Later
“Remember when we hurt the creature?” said Liam.
“I’m pretty sure we killed it. It would have no chance for those hot flashlights.”
“It hasn’t attacked anyone from that day. Let’s forget about this situation. It’s been 17 years since it happened,” said Dylan.
Dylan had learned that he should have trusted the people. He became stronger and more sensible after that situation.
The creature had died because, even eternities later, the creature did not strike.
