She was late for school, forgot to eat breakfast, missed her biology test, and now she was being chased.

Tenten absolutely hated Monday mornings.

Tenten wasn't an athletic person by nature but you wouldn't know that by the way she ran down the street as if her life was in danger.

coincidentally it was.

She frantically jumped over a fallen trash bin as a creature that was taller than a building came bounding around the corner, it's six beady eyes trained on her and her only. Tenten turned around and shuddered.

Way to go dumbass you just had to play the hero didn't you? conscience screamed at her as she recalled the small boy who she diverted the monster's attention from. Tenten tried to ignore the voice and failed. What the hell was she thinking?

Tenten ran faster as the monster drew near and looked around. People walked up and down the city streets at a leisurely pace, while some looked at her weirdly. It was as if they couldn't see the monster at all. Tenten's eyes widened...

Maybe they couldn't.

She pushed the thought to the back of her head and ran into the park. She ran past the rusty playground devoid of children and into the secluded part of the park, littered with trees.

"Fucking shit!" Tenten said aloud as she tripped over a stray tree root and landed face first onto the muddy ground. She looked down annoyed at her now dirty school uniform before the monster burst through the foliage, it's red eyes gleaming. Tenten scrambled back against a tree.

"Well, well, well look what we have here." Tenten flinched away from the monster's pungent odor. "Playtime's over little one, time for me to eat!"

The monster leaned in close and Tenten could feel it's hot breath on her face. She gagged at the smell of rotting flesh.

"I-I'm really about to die." Tenten thought in disbelief. She wasn't ready, she wanted to live longer. She wanted to do something with her life.

Tenten flinched as the monster raised it's long claws, in position to swipe and closed her eyes. She knew the claws would rip her body to shreds and could only hope that her death would happen instantly.

"Time to say goodbye girlie!" The monster laughed as he brought his claw down upon her and Tenten screamed for her life.
