Chapter 1: The Shadow

The footsteps echoed through the back streets of Cardiff, not tip toes, not walking but the sound of running, fast running as the shadow of someone flashed on the back walls of the Cardiff streets. It was the sound of someone running for their lives. The quickness of changing directions didn't seem to work for this individual. A man, cleanly shaven, well dressed in a blue business type suit and still carrying his briefcase as it thrashed against his leg as he ran down the cold dark alleyways. The thoughts running through his mind of not "why don't I get rid of the briefcase" but more of "I need to just make it home, ill be safe at home, everyone's safe at home!"

He continued running, not wanting to look back, to see the evil, to see that thing following him and wanting to kill him. He turned one last corner as he believed he was closer to home, and remember this quick route to cut time and make it home, safely. He turned the corner and continued down the dark path ahead of him, as he suddenly stopped and realised. "Oh my god!" he told himself, as he realised he had taken the wrong turning, he had taken the turn before he was supposed to as he looked ahead to see nothing but a brick wall. He had made an error of judgement, an error which he now realised was going to cost him his life.

He lifted up his briefcase to cover his chest, as he in a terrifying act of self defence hugged the case to his chest tightly, not wanting to let go as he heard the faint footsteps behind him. He turned as he saw that thing, that terror, that evil stood watching him as he backed up. Walking backwards he didn't see where he was going as he took one step too far and placed his foot down on a large stone and fell awkwardly to the ground before screaming out in pain. He quickly grabbed for his ankle with his left hand as the pain moved through his foot and into his leg, the sharp pain as he tried in vain to get back to his feet but he just collapsed back down. He looked over at the evil walking towards him, as he took a hold of the briefcase and threw it out from his reach towards what was walking towards him but the case just seem to be brushed aside as the evil continued on it's path. The man held onto his ankle, still in so much pain and unable to defend himself, as he screamed out in the hope someone would hear him, but in Cardiff in April 2007, a scream was something that would not be heard by anyone who was willing to help in this crime wave of evil spreading throughout the town.

"Please don't hurt me, please, I have a family, I have children!" knowing he was lying to this thing stood above him, but trying in vain anything he could think of to have mercy. "Please, I don't want to die... I DON'T WANT TO DIE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" As he raised his two hands to cover his face in an act of defending himself as within seconds the sound of screaming turned as the streets became a silent visionary of another victim of the terror that was sweeping this town.
