Molly Carter jogged through Raccoon City park. She stopped and took a chug of her water. She wiped the sweat from brow and pushed back her strawberry blond hair.

She looked at her watch. It was almost midnight. She never could have gone jogging this late back in New York City, but since moving to Raccoon last fall for college she has never felt safer. Raccoon was such an isolated suburban community. It was like everyone here knew each other and were so friendly. She joked with her roommate that murderers probably asked permission to kill you.

She jogged further down the park passing a couple strolling a baby carriage. Probably something you'd expect in the suburbs. After jogging for a full five minutes she stopped to take a sip of water. Gulping down to the very last drop. Now was a perfect time as any to head home.

She was about to jog home when she heard rustling sounds from somewhere in the darkness.

"Hello" she didn't know what she was hoping for more, another friendly person to appear or no one at all. After no response, she was starting to think it was the latter, but the rustling continued.

"Is anyone there?" she called out again, but when she didn't hear anything she chalked it up to a wild animal or the wind and continued her jog.

Molly didn't get very far before she heard the the rustling again followed by the snapping sound of branches getting closer.

"Hello? Who's there?" she said trying to keep the terror out of her voice. "Whoever is there just stop it's not funny!"

What she was next was the last thing Molly expected. An old man shuffled his way from the dark forest. He looked hurt, his shoulders were slumped, his head was facing downward. From what little light was illuminating from the lamp post she could see dirt on his tattered clothes and what looked to be blood pouring from the side of his face.

"Are you okay?" Molly asked but all she got out of it was a soft moan.

"Sir?" she said again moving closer to him. He definitely looked to be in really bad shape.

"Do you need help?" she asked trying to find the source of the bleeding.

"I'm going to take you to the hospital" she said as she put his arm over her shoulder. The next thing she felt was the stranger sinking his teeth in her neck as her blood gushed out. She tried to scream, but couldn't find her voice as she slowly choked on her own blood.
