She walked down the street in the dead of night. She went un-noticed to the passersby. They were too busy finding new ways to keep the harsh winter wind from nipping at their noses and ears. She was too absorbed in her thoughts to care. She couldn't sleep. She had just had a strange and horrifying dream. Not a nightmare, something far worse. It had just seemed so real…like it could actually be happening somewhere. A shiver shot down her spine at the thought.

She could remember most of it now. These odd creatures were gathered in a giant circle. There had to be two…maybe three hundred there.

Two of the creatures held the couple back while their daughter was being raped and horribly beaten. The details were awful. She could almost feel the small child's pain as the hellish creature tore through her. God, she couldn't have been but nine years old! The third cloaked figure stepped aside and buckled his belt while the other two allowed the man and woman to rush to their dying daughter. The circle closed in and killed the parents in front of their baby's eyes as the world she had inhabited for such a short time turned slowly black.
