Attack of The Soul-Stealer

Ch. 1: First Strike

The cold, Fall wind blew through Star's blond hair. Her white sneakers clomped on the hard sidewalk. She had just got out of the late-night party at her friend's house, and she was headed for her own home. As she walked, she listened to the sound of the dead leaves crunching under her shoes.

Crunch Crunch Crunch Cru- . . .

Snap.

Star stopped. The way to her house that she always took went through the park, so the noise was probably from a squirrel. She kept walking, the leaves making their crunching noise.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Cru- . . .

Crash!

Star stopped immediately. No animal could make a noise that loud. What's worse, she was out of the park. She thought it was some dog looking for food. Star picked up her foot to keep walking.

Crash!

That sound was really close. It came from the alley to her left. Slowly, Star turned her head to look into the alley. When she saw what it was, she screamed.

What she saw were two huge eyes. Not human eyes, but not animal eyes, either. The eyes were in a strange D-shape. The curved line was scraggly and ripped. Also, the eyes were pure white.

Star immediately ran as fast as she could. She ran a good five blocks until she looked back.

She saw the creature cashing after her, running as fast as an average car. It looks almost human, thought Star. But if it's human, why is it running on it's arms and legs! Star ran as fast as she possibly could. She looked back and saw that the creature was gone. At least, she thought it was gone until something knocked her into the alley across from her with astounding speed.

Whatever it was, it held her down with amazing strengh. Star tried as hard as she could to escape, but she couldn't. The same white eyes stared at her. She was able to see the creature's outline better than before: large, muscular, and black. Star tried to scream, but the creature breathed a green gas into her face. Star inhaled the gas, and started to feel sleepy. As she started to pass out, she saw one last thing: the creature opening it's mouth, revealing dozens of razor-sharp teeth, it's long tongue hanging out of its mouth.

And then, everything went black.
