Title: "Bloody Roses"
A loud thump was heard from the top of the stairs. The thumping increased as though someone kept coming in contact with the walls. Then, nothing, except a single whimper coming from the living room. A frightened girl stayed motionless in a corner, hidden slightly by the sofa. She had been like that for the past hour, too scared to move or even try to. The power had gone out forcing her to remain calm; yet as she had tried to get some candles she had heard the first thump. She had tried the phone but no ringing could be heard. Her trusted cell phone had been left in her upstairs bedroom, a place where she was going to go explore. Her only option was to remain where she was until her parents came home in a few hours.
Silence developed the house, the thumping had ceased. She decided to make a run for it, seeing as the last noise had come from upstairs. She bolted through the living room towards the front door. Right as she was about to open it, a hand pulled her back. She was spun around to encounter two glowing red eyes. That was the last thing she saw as pain shot through her body and darkness followed.
The figure licked his lips clean of his victim's blood. He always enjoyed a good game of cat and mouse. The blood always tasted the sweetest when the pulse was racing. He had simply waited for her to make a move, distracting her with sudden movements throughout the higher floor. It was a simple task for him but boring at the same time. She has taken a long time to move, something that almost made him look for her, but his patience had been rewarded as she tried to get out.
He tossed her body aside and looked at it with utmost pity. 'What a shame' he thought. She had been so young and naïve. 'Beauty is always wasted on the young'
The moon shone as the figure pushed back the window curtains. Only his right side was exposed and it showed a deep scar under his eye. He smirked at nothing in particular and leaped out into the night sky.
