"No!" The man said, throwing the chair in a random direction. "Leave me alone!" He ran to the corner of the room. Nothing was happening. And there was nothing there. Nothing.
The thing had gone.
No, no. He spoke too soon. It was still there. He could hear it. Its slow, rasping breathing; getting louder, and louder. Closer and closer. The man's palms began to sweat. He began to shake, began to fear for his life.
"G-get away!" he screamed desperately. His great-grandmother's curse is not his fault to begin with. Why must it chase after people other than her? It was there. In front of him. He couldn't see it, but he could feel it. He could feel its hot breath, its cold nose brushing against his forehead. His eyes widened. He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out.
And the last thing he saw
Was the beast's sharp, white teeth.

A/N: Ok, this is basically it for this chapter. Next chapter, it starts to flow a little more (I think.)
