Prologue
A deafening scream filled my ears and with a horrifying realisation I recognised it as my own. The scene before me was unbearable, horrific, terrifying and it didn't seem real: My father, my idol, was lying on the floor unmoving, blood running from the tear in his midsection. The door on its hinges. My twin sisters in their cots screaming for our mother and father with bleeding bites on their bodies, my little brother unconscious by the kitchen counter a bite on his wrist. I couldn't stop the scream escaping from my mouth and that's when the vicious beast that had barged into my home and tore my family apart, swung its ugly head in my direction. It stalked towards the stairs where I had stopped and was now paralysed, even though it was coming closer I could move. It slid its paw almost gracefully over the banister and gripped my throat, my breathe cut out of my body, my eyes bulging as it dragged me over towards its gruesome body and with a dog like snarl, sunk its teeth into my forearm. It dropped me there and rushed out into the night and as I struggled up, one hand clutching my forearm, the other my throat I heard a howl in the distance.
That was ten years ago.
That was when my life changed forever.
