Okay for an Authors note. umm...well...i'll give warnings here, I guess. Okay warning one: this has ABSOLUTLY (sorry for my horrible spelling) nothing to do with any anime, manga, cartoon, book...ect. I came up with this on my own and plan to make it a novel...high hopes. Warning two: If you are the biggest christian on Earth... this is for you. This story has a lot of references to God and Satan. Demons and Angels. Heavan and Hell. In all honesty, I would like to have some readers who know the Bible really well to kinda help me along. So please, just because it has biblical and religion references, don't let that keep you from reading it. and with out further ado...enjoy!

The Messenger:

Preface: Darkness.

"If you are going through hell, keep going. "

- Winston Churchill

I didn't know exactly where I was going, but I was going somewhere. It was what seemed a dark ally way. Was I back in my hometown of San Diego, or was I already in Phoenix? I sure couldn't tell.

The ally smelt of old trash and I saw a few rats the size of foot balls scurry by. There weren't even any lights from the buildings. It was like a never ending ally.

I stopped walking and slowly turned in circles trying to find a sign of a way out. The darkness was making me uneasy. I was becoming scared, mostly because I had no clue how I got here!

"Hello? Anyone around?" I yelled, my voice obviously quivering. I heard a crack behind me, like someone's neck being snapped and a deep, warning growl.

"Over here, my friend." A deep ominous voice called. It was so uncalled for that I jumped. My heart was racing. I turned to the voice, slowly walking to it.

"W-who are you? And where am I?" I whispered. Even if I shouldn't be going to the voice, it was just so tempting. A canorous sound, yet a type that you would only hear in horror movies. My right foot quickly became wet as I stepped in a shallow puddle.

"Neither friend, nor foe. And does it matter where you are? You won't remember it after tonight anyway." The quite pernicious voice called back. What did he mean 'After tonight'? "Hahaha…don't worry, the pain won't last too long. Or that is if you don't want it to." I felt the voices freezing breath on the back of my neck as it was suddenly behind me.

I instantly froze. My legs screamed to run, but my mind argued back. I knew that my eyes were wide in shit-less fear and my breathing uneven.

"Oh? Are you scared?" The voice whispered into my ear. I gasped as its icy voice gave me chills. "Nyet ili Da?" It sounded amused when I hadn't answered back. And what did 'Nyet ili Da' mean? Who was this? Where was I? And was I going to die? These few of the thousands questions raced through my head when I suddenly saw some bright red eyes snap open about ten feet ahead of me.

"I want you to meet my little buddy. His name is 'hunter' and he is quite hungry. So I'll leave you two alone. Bon appetite!" I heard a swift sound from where the voice was. I knew right then and there, standing alone in this ally, that I was going to die.

The pair of eyes came one step or two closer. I heard something drag behind it, and a low rumble come from it.

"Oh God…no. I don't want to die…." I managed to mumble.

As the beast came closer, I could note the more basic features of its eye-level face. It had a nose that looked like it had been sliced off. Its teeth were at least five inches long and like daggers. Jagged and deadly. It seriously needed an orthodontist. Its pale green, lumpy skin was glossed in a liquid of some sort. The beast had a slimy drool dripping through its teeth. But the thing that caught my attention the most was its eyes. They were big and perfectly round. The pupils dilated like it was on drugs, and an appalling red. This 'hunter' seemed very insidious.

I thought my heart was going to kill itself, it was beating so fast. The 'thing' stopped and crouched a little. I could still only see its face. Truthfully, I didn't want to see the rest of it. I heard another loud snap and crack as it growled and rumbled even louder. There was a strong aroma of rotted corpse falling off of it.

Almost instantaneously it jumped at me. Last thing I saw was its ghastly face two or three inches from mine. I heard its loud caterwaul and my worthless screams.
