The Skin walker
Prologue
A dark night. No light.
A figure runs. No escape.
It has been 5 years since I have last changed.
My prey darts behind a building.
I don't bother following.
Instead, I crawl, silently, around the back of a building.
My prey, the human, cowers in fear, a gun in his hand.
Myself, cursed being, smirks in triumph, a dagger in my hand.
The human sees me, and shoots.
Once, a long time ago, I might have dodged the bullet.
Now though, I am capable of slicing it clean in half.
The man cowers in fear, as he shakily points the gun in my hand.
"S-stay where you are d-demon!" he shoots, misses again.
I make no attempt to chase him, as he bolts away.
I wanted this chase to go longer. I would've enjoyed the thrill of the chase. The euphoria of fear from your prey.
I hopped up on the roof top with ease.
The whine of machinery, and the laughs from families echo around me.
My instincts point me…
I hear a clunk to the left of me. It seems as though my prey isn't as stealthy as I thought.
Long ago, a very long time ago, an immeasurable amount of time ago, I would've popped by some houses, and changed my appearance. Not now though. Now, I want to hunt my prey without my disguise.
I wanted…a challenge.
Well, all good things must end.
I silently leaped from rooftop to rooftop, and made sure to smash a tile or two, just to remind the human in front of me that he hadn't escaped.
There he was, in the same spot that he ran from me.
I silently leapt behind him, and emitted a soft chuckle.
He whipped around, but it was too late.
My dagger had already penetrated his soft flesh, and his life force slowly drained away.
He aged before my eyes, turning old, then ancient, then became a dried husk.
My features also changed.
Slowly, my hair grew darker, my cheeks higher. I adopted a dimple on my left cheek, and a darker tan.
Now, I looked like a completely different person.
To be honest, I am not sure what I am.
I can tell you one thing with 100% certainty though.
I am the skin walker.
A/N new story, but a very short chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed though! Expect more. This is a crossover. Give it a chance.
aVeryPissedOffDwarf, saying goodbye, for now.
