Saturday Morning

Tyler groaned as he forced his eyes open and looked at his plain wooden ceiling as he felt lightheaded and dizzy. He sat up and looked around before he stood up and ran his fingers through his rat's nest of a hairstyle he woke up with.

Tyler: Owww, my head.

He walked in front of his mirror and saw his skinny figure in the mirror which made him sigh sadly. About ten years ago, he was diagnosed with Muscle Dystropy which decreases the amount of muscle the human body has and makes the host feel weaker than usual.

Walking into the bathroom to do his business, his parents were downstairs cooking breakfast and were worried about their son's recent loss of conscious yesterday and were still worried about it but not only that was the case.

Tyler's Mom: Tyler! Can you come downstairs?!

Tyler: Coming Mom!

He hurried up and put on a simple white shirt and blue shorts before rushing downstairs and approached his parents who both looked at him as he approached them.

Tyler's Mom: How do you feel sweetie?

Tyler's Second Mom: Do you feel drowsy or lightheaded?

Tyler had two moms instead of one and he already knew was adopted but from where? They would never tell him as they always strayed away from the topic.

Tyler: I feel better, what's going on?

His mom pulled the curtains on one of the windows and he looked and gasped in horror. A body was mangled and shredded to the bone at the side of their house as there were investigators looking at the body and collecting evidence.

Tyler: W-what th-

Tyler Mom: I know, its terrifying that it happened last night and we didn't hear anything about it until this morning.

Tyler: Who was it?

Tyler's Second Mom: The Night Guard.

That was bad, he was one of the last couple of officers that remained in the area but now that he is dead, that means the mayor will have to request for more officers or worse, shut down the town.

Tyler's Mom: Don't worry sweetie, we'll talk it over dinner with the neighbors.

Tyler: What?

Tyler's Mom: Bryce and his parents invited us and your friends families to dinner tonight, hopefully we'll be able to take your mind off of all this.

Tyler's Second Mom: Oh I cannot wait! Its going to be so exciting!

As both his moms went to talk about it, Tyler narrowed his eyes at them, they were acting too calm about this situation.... And it was disturbing. He thought back to the call he received in school and that... thing with antlers on the sides of its head.

Tyler: I gotta find out what the hell that thing was.

He ran upstairs, unaware that there was something watching him... in his own house.

Tyler went into his room, locked the door and turned on his computer as he went to Google Chrome and went to search it up before a news article popped up on his feed.

Tyler: Tony Stark known as Iron Man dies of mysterious causes, remains to be discovered... what the fuck is going on?

He then went and searched up all recent deaths in the past week and a list appeared on the local news website as the names of people in the United States began to appear as the most important people appeared at the top of the list and he widened his eyes.

Tyler: Tony Stark deceased while Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Wanda Maximoff remain on death beds but expected to recover....Bruce Banner killed and left in a tree, this is almost the entire Avengers team!

He went back to the search bar and typed in the description of the creature, according to Google, they narrowed it down to one creature as Tyler looked at its photo.

Tyler: The Wendigo.

As soon as he whispered the name, his computer glitched and he heard deep and predatory breathing behind him as he turned around... and saw nothing. Tyler was hyperventilating as he looked around wildly but saw nothing out of the ordinary as he heard the breathing again but this time it was really faint as he instinctively looked out his window and into the woods.

He walked toward the window and the breathing got louder just a little bit as he walked downstairs in a trance and went to the backdoor and walked outside and began trailing into the woods. He followed the sound in his ears as the breathing grew deeper and more scarier but Tyler persisted and kept going.

Growing more cautious, he tensed his body as he awaited something to happen but nothing did as he kept on walking and walking until he was deep in the woods and he couldn't see the town when he turned his head around but for some reason, he kept on going.

The breathing kept on getting louder and louder as he trudged on through the woods and then suddenly a scent entered his nostrils and the breathing stopped as he approached closer and closer before a cold chill overcame him and he froze as he looked around crazily before he heard a growl which made him freeze and look up.

Floating in the air, the Wendigo was staring right at him as it floated forward and landed on the ground before looking at Tyler with an emotionless face.

Wendigo: Preeeeeeeeeey...

Faster than Tyler can blink, the creature lunged towards him and slashed him across his face before Tyler gasped out loud and sat up in his chair and looked around in his room as he panted and got up shakily before looking out the window as the sun gleamed at him as he looked into the woods but saw nothing.

The thing he didn't see was that his shadow that was behind him due to the sun shining in front of him, it wasn't that of a human, it was the one of the Wendigo.

Seven Hours Later

Tyler and his parents had arrived at Bryce's house and was sitting at teenagers table while the adults were sitting on another table, about to dig in to dinner but were waiting for Travis, Ben and Hannah's family to show up.

Bryce was sitting across from him as he looked at Tyler with interest which made him feel uncomfortable as he looked around the room and noticed various skulls plastered on the walls. Some were bears and mountains lions while some were various species of elk.

Tyler had his phone in his hand and was scrolling through his history to find the article where it said the Avengers were dead... but it was gone, he tried searching it on the internet but it was like it wasn't there at all until Bryce startled him.

Bryce: There nice aren't they?

Tyler: I guess they are, you hunted them?

Bryce: Oh yes, in roder to collect this many skulls, you gotta get in the head of the target and then... pull the trigger.

Tyler froze when he heard that as he researched that the Wendigo was known for causing its prey to run into madness before it struck and killed them.... He also read that they have a human host.

Bryce: You know something? Don't you?

Tyler: N-no.

Bryce: I can sense lies Tyler, you are known for being fascinated with folklore monsters....you know what it is, don't you?

Before he could answer, the door opened and in came Travis, Ben and Hannah's families as he breathed out a sigh of relief to see them here. There parents went to the adult table and greeted the rest of the parents as Tyler's friends came to the teen table.

Travis: Tyler, you're alright!

Tyler: Yeah man... I'm good.

Hannah: Has everything been good?

Tyler: Like what?

Ben: Like anything... terrifying?

Tyler: Ummm.

Bryce: What's going on?

Hannah: Uh nothing, Tyler come with us, please.

He got up and walked with his friends while glancing back at Bryce who was looking at the group with suspicion before he turned back around and faced the table. His friends dragged him into the kitchen of Bryce's house before they all looked at him.

Hannah: Okay, no one can hear us, what have you seen?

Tyler: Ummm....

Travis: Dude whatever you saw, we saw it too.

Tyler: I saw the creature and.... I know what it is.

Ben: What is it?

Tyler: Its called The Wendigo, a cannibalistic elk-like creature that relentlessly hunts for prey and is one of the most feared creatures in folklore history. It is known for its strength, speed and high levels of intelligence also it is rumored to have the power to mimic people's voices.

Travis: That's the thing that tried to kill me!

Hannah: How?

Travis: I was in my room doing my homework when it broke into my house and tried to kill me but before it did... it became my Dad, which made me scared of him.

Ben: The same thing happened to me, it took over my FNAF game and made it show the cameras in my house, before it came into my room, my mom and dad came in and caught me.

Hannah: I saw the creature try to kill me last night but... it became Travis.

Tyler: Must be its other power.

Ben: What is it?

Tyler: According to folklore history, The Wendigo is known for causing madness and hallucinations when its nearby or when its hunting. It allows the creature to study its target before it makes the final kill or when someone walks close to it, they can experience hallucinations and potentially drive themselves insane.

Hannah: That... is terrifying.

Ben: So what do we do?

Travis: We tell the authorities!

Ben: Tell them what? That there is a folklore monster on the loose, no one would believe us!

Hannah: But if the folklore legend is true then... who is the Wendigo?

Travis: What do you mean?

Hannah: When this happened to each of us, we all saw it try to kill us before it stopped and revealed who was actually in front of us, what if one of our parents is The Wendigo?!

Tyler: That wouldn't make any sense, shape shifting is not one of its powers and no one saw the same person twice from what I'm told.

Travis: True, I would've said something about it... then it has to be someone who is near us all the time or someone who is stalking us.

Ben: The Night Guard?

Tyler: No he got killed last night.

Hannah: Me, Travis and my parents were there but we all left before it happened.

Ben: Could it be Bryce?

Tyler: Possibly, the Wendigo is known to have a human host.

Hannah: We need to narrow down the suspects.

Bryce's Dad: Everyone! Time for dinner!

Ben: We'll continue this later.

Travis: Agreed.

They began to walk away with Tyler a little behind to fix his glasses as he glanced around before freezing up when he looked up a flight of stairs. The upstairs light wasn't on but it was clear that a massive figure was standing at the base with red eyes staring right at him. Tyler was frozen and didn't do anything as the Wendigo raised his sharp claws and beckoned him to come up.

Tyler's Mom: Tyler! Dinner's ready!

Tyler was about to respond but he paled drastically when the Wendigo opened its mouth and spoke in his voice.

Wendigo: I have to use the bathroom!

Tyler's Mom: Okay well then, finish up!

The Wendigo growled in a predatory way as he beckoned Tyler to come forward but the boy still didn't move as he growled before stepping down the stairs and walked toward him with his antlers scrapping the walls every couple of steps.

Tyler watched as the creature kept walking until it was right infront of him and was looking down at him as the boy shook his legs like a newborn giraffe.

Wendigo: Prreeeeeeeey.

It opened its mouth and clamped down on Tyler's head and he closed his eyes as he expected to be in the afterlife but... nothing happened as he opened them and saw that the monster was gone and nothing was wrong with him.

Tyler's face was pale as he walked back to the dining room and shakily took his seat as Bryce's dad was putting the food on the table. Bryce looked at Tyler's face and analysed his pale and sweaty face as he came to a conclusion but kept it to himself. Ben was sitting next to Tyler with Hannah sitting on the other side and with Travis sitting next to her, they noticed Tyler's pale face and whispered to him.

Ben: Tyler, you okay?

Tyler:.....I saw it.

Hannah: Where?!

Tyler: It was on the stairs.... But its gone.

Travis: It has to be someone in this room.

Ben: But who?

Bryce's Dad: Are you guys alright?

They stopped talking and realised that everyone else was staring at them so they straightened themselves in their chairs as Bryce's Dad put down some salad and mashed potatoes along with some noodles and vegetable fried rice. Bryce's Mom came in and was carrying a freshly cooked chicken along with a plate of smoked lamb which made everyone's mouth water.

After cutting the portions, Bryce took it personally to hand out everyone's plate along with the fact he helped cut the meat and put it in there plates. Food was distributed and the drink was a red fruit punch that the family brewed themselves, the families began to dig in to their portions.

Hannah's, Travis's, Ben's and Tyler's Parents dug into the meat while their children dug in to the meat as well, all but Tyler as he smelled the meat and caught the scent of chicken, beef.... And something else. That something else was triggering something in him that made him want to eat it but he doesn't know what it is exactly.

To be cautious, he ate the vegetable fried rice and the salad plus the mashed potatoes before he looked and saw everyone else's plates were empty of the meat except him, Bryce, his dad and his mom's plate which was strange.

He picked up the glass before he smelled it and something inside him snapped like an instinct and he drank the red fluid until the glass was empty as soon as he started and he set the glass down before he dug into the meat with primal instincts fueling his very movements. Before he knew it, his plate was empty as he felt content and satisfied as everyone was looking at him with surprise.

Tyler's Mom: Sweetie, if you were hungry... you could've asked us for something to eat.

Tyler: Its fine.

Hannah's Dad: The food must be that good although I must say the meat is fantastic! What is it?

Bryce: Oh its a mix of chicken and beef along with a secret ingredient.

Hannah's Mom: What is the secret ingredient?

Bryce's Mom: It wouldn't be a secret now would it?

Hannah's Mom: Good Point.

The Dinner continued on with the families exchanging stories and sharing jokes as the time passed before it was a couple hours after curfew and it was time for the families to leave. To avoid getting caught, the families quickly said their goodbyes and went to their homes quickly to avoid being seen.

Ten Minutes Later

Tyler laid down in his bed as he stared at the ceiling as his stomach growled loudly like predator yearning for food. He stared at the ceiling for a long time as he felt something in him stir.... Something unpleasant.

His limbs begin to randomly twitch as he shook his head to stay focused but then his arm shot out like it wanted to grab something but Tyler forced it back down. His eyes were full of confusion as his pupils switch from brown to black as his body began to shake in bed.

All his humanity....

All his memories...

All his hunger...

Needed to be satisfied...

All that was heard from Tyler's room was...
