A/N: Hello! This is my first fanfic ever, and my first Supernatural fic, obviously. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except a laptop and Kendra Black.
This was supposed to be a relaxing, normal night.
No crying, screaming, or running from a bloodthirsty monster in my own house.
Lucky for me, my dad got drunk and accidentally told me the passcode to the gun safe a few hours ago, so that's where I'm headed.
I'm running up the stairs as fast as I can manage with my half-awake, adrenaline fueled brain, but the creature is hot on my tail, and although I don't know what it is, a few rounds to the chest should stop it.
I barely manage to latch the door to the weapons room before I hear it snarling, and seconds after slam into the door. Luckily, the wood holds. I run across the room to the safe, and fumble with the lock for half a second before the door finally clicks open. I grab the largest shotgun we have, and load five shells into it. But my half second fumble with the lock was a half second too long, because when I look up, the thing breaks down the door. I cock and aim the gun, brace myself for the inevitable kick, and tell myself not to anticipate the gun's kick.
I pull the trigger.
Whatever the hell this thing is, four shotgun blasts to the head and body don't even slow it down. It snarls at me, and takes a posture I know well from years of hunting. It's preparing to charge. I frantically reach for the machete I know is behind me, and only just manage to unsheathe it before the monster starts to charge. Right before it reaches me, I leap to my left and use my momentum to swing the blade down towards the thing's neck. I was aiming for the neck, but end up hitting its shoulder instead.
As the blade sinks deep into its shoulder, a blood-curdling howl of pain rents the air, and the monster thrashes, trying to dislodge the machete from its shoulder. Eventually, it does, and it nearly runs me down in its frantic dash for the second story window. The creature leaps out, and runs out into the Sonoran desert, the moonlight glinting off its blood.
As the adrenaline recedes in my body, I can feel pain in my left shoulder. Apparently, when the thing charged me, its claws got me in the shoulder. I risk a glance, and quickly turn away. My left shoulder has a large tear in it, and my entire arm is nearly soaked in my own blood, flowing freely from my wound. But I don't have the tools or the experience to deal with this kind of wound. I can only hope that the creature's claws weren't poisoned.
As I become accustomed to the pain, realization, and grief close on its heels, sets in. The realization: my parents are dead. The grief is fairly obvious. They were mauled and killed by that thing. Their screams and shouts were what woke me up. Well, those and the six shots my dad fired from his gun at it. I guess I'm pretty lucky, in a sick kind of way, because I could be dead too right now if they hadn't screamed.
I numbly feel myself sit down from the blood loss from my shoulder, and from the grief of losing the two most important people in the world to me. I can vaguely hear sirens in the distance, and they're getting louder. One of my neighbors must have called the police and an ambulance. Good and bad. Good: I can get treatment for my horribly mangled shoulder. Bad: I'll probably be hospitalized, and the police will ask too many questions. And they won't believe me if I tell them the truth. Maybe I can just play the grief-stricken teenager card. It's at least three-quarters true.
By the time the paramedics find me sitting pathetically on the floor, my shoulder is throbbing painfully, and I can barely see from blood loss. I just let the paramedics half lead half carry me to the waiting ambulance. I'm numb from my parents' deaths, something no 16-year old girl should have to suffer through. I can vaguely feel tears on my face as sweet, blissful unconsciousness envelops me.
My last rational thought is a slim hope that some hunter will help me find that monster before it skips town.
A/N: So, first chapter down, so many more to go. Sorry for the shortness, hope you enjoyed! Reviews are appreciated! :)
