"Uh, guys?" asked a young country man. "What the hell was that?" The man had seen a shadowy figure pass by the window.

"Ellis," replied a well dressed gambler, "I think you should lay off the pills. side effects do include hallucination."

"Nick, I'm serious!" snapped Ellis. "There was somethin' outside."

"Look, Ellis. I'ma bust down the window for you, 'kay?" a large, black man said to him. He slammed his fire axe against a window. "See? Nobody there." As the man finished saying his statement, a chimera-ish creature levitated up behind him.

"Uh, Coach," Ellis said, pointing behind him, "I'm pretty sure you're wrong."

Coach turned around to see the chimera. "Oh, shit!"

The chimera had a "sad" face. "Oh, that hurts. I'm not nobody..." Its frown literally turned upside down and it started laughing. "And it's time for you to realize that." He threw his talons and paw forward, sending a beam of electricity at Coach.

"No!" shouted a younger black woman as she jumped in front of Coach. The bolt of lightning hit her and there was a flash of light. When everybody regained their eyesight, she was gone.

"Rochelle," started Coach. "W-why?" His face was tearing up.

Nick knelt down to where Rochelle had been. He sighed, "I know of two other people who I would have rather seen go first." Nick stood back up and grabbed his M4 assault rifle and pointed his at the chimera. "Kiss my ass, you little bitch!" He pulled the trigger, but nothing came out of the gun.

Ellis tried to hold in a laugh. "You don't remember the charger? Ya' wasted all your ammo and didn't even hit him once! " He was on the verge of exploding. "And you say I'm dumb."

"Shit," said Nick.

The chimera laughed. "Oh, you poor little thing. Don't worry, you all will be joining her soon." It threw its talons and paw forward yet again and bolts of lightning shot out from them. Nick and Ellis tried to move, though they failed. Coach just sat there though, accepting the sweet embrace of death.
