I don't own any of the buffyverse characters other than Judy and Sara. The x-men, charmed, and x-files characters are all the property of their creators respectively as well (marvel, fox etc...) Enjoy. ...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx... "It Slices, it cuts… it hurts them… they screem…. I smile… It makes me…. Happy to hear them scream…"

"Well it would wouldn't it?"

She lay there, in a dark hallway closet. Tears and blood trickling down her face… she tried not to whimper…

"It thinks it can hide from us…. It smells tasty… I think I will play with it, love it some more… before…"

"Yes you do that."

The voices came from outside in the hallway… everything was so dark… somehow she knew the light was still on out there, but it was dark anyway… it felt dark…

"There's no one left lets go."

"No, there is one, sneaky little girl… thinks she can…. Play with me…"

"Fine, Hurry it up then we don't have all night."

A claw… a silvery, long, four fingered claw crept it's way around the door and slowly pulled it open… there was heavy, husky breath… a smell like rancid meat… and then she screamed, in pain, in fear she screamed. With all her heart and soul she fought back pointlessly… thrashing violently as she sceamed...

It was the most horrible sound Phoebie Halliwel had ever heard.

As she opened her eyes, collapsed on the floor, recovering from her vision, she realized, she was screaming too.
