The sky was sooty and steel grey. Thick with mist it had rained all day. The full moon was shrouded giving off very little light. I walked through the deserted streets late at night.

I feel this odd nagging feeling of being watched. I turn around several times nothing but silence greets me. I pick up my pace walking faster unable to shake the feeling of unease. My fear increases with each step. I spot two glowing gold eyes off to the left of the road.

I panic and start to run. I can hear the clicking of toe nails approaching from behind. The sound of heavy raspy breath. I frantically run faster my heart racing in my chest. my lungs burn from the frigid night air.

Reaching my front door i fumble to find the right key. I rush in the door slamming it closed locking it behind me. I peer out the window from around the curtain. Not certain what I'll find. Nothing's there just the silence of the deserted rain soaked street.

I shake my head and turn to walk away. Something large and black lunges at the window. Claws ripping, rattling the glass. Mouth foaming with jagged fangs. Eyes glowing a deep amber gold.

I scream and run for the phone. My hands shaking as i try to punch the three simple numbers for help. The glass shatters. I run for my room up the stairs. I slam the door locking it, barring it with a chair.

Frantically searching i realize i dropped my phone on the stairs. Panicking not sure what to do I pace my room pressing my ear to the door. I hear nothing, my hand shaking i start to slowly turn the nob.

Heart thundering in my chest. The door creeks loudly. I jump back from the sound desperately searching for anything in the shadowy dark hall. I quietly tiptoe towards the stairs looking for my phone. The beast bounds up the stairs glowing golden eyes, wide heaving chest. Teeth bared its closing in, watching as if im its prey.

I stumbled backwards not sure what creatures before me. Not believing what im seeing with my very eyes. Its head fairly similar to a dog, eyes glowing gold, back hunched in a distorted way. Large long pointed tongue lapping the air watching intently unblinking stare. It creeps closer long nails scratching across the floors. Its pointed tail like a whip and black leathery wrinkled skin hanging off its jutting bones. Odd flat nose, nostrils flared.

To frightened to scream i start to back away shaking uncontrollably not taking my eyes from the strange creature before me. It watches intently head cocked to one side. I glance around searching for anything to use as a weapon. The sound of my front door being broken in wood splintering. I glance past the creature. Standing there is a tall very large rain soaked man wielding a sword in his hand. He speaks a language I've never heard, the creature bounds down the stairs and out the door.

I look to him asking "what is that? Where did it come from?" He speaks not one word only nods and departs quickly through the door. Shaking i slowly descend the stairs not certain what i have just seen. I spot my phone laying on the bottom stair i sit hand shaking violently as i dial for help. The door completely ripped from its frame i glance out the door, nothings there just blackness and pouring rain. In the distance i hear the wail of sirens coming near.
