Chapter 2: The Wendigos

Jack listened to the cries from the town below him. He thought about the Wendgos. They were awful creatures really. This is what they did, they basically kill, or eat humans. They never really like to eat humans. They love to torture them though. They get a kind of, love out of it. Just seeing a wendigo though is enough to frighten you half to death, if you ever see one that is.

The wendigos, you see, can't really eat. This is because of how they are built. If you ever where to see one, there are two different types by the way, you would see this one the type of ones we will be seeing in this story. These ones are long. They are tall. No one ever gets a clear view of them though. They are a cross breed really. They are made out of all bones. They bones are made out of a mixture of different things. The two main things that are there though, are deer bones, and human. They are able to walk on two legs, (came from the human bones.) They can't hold food, (They have no stomachs. They just love to rip the flesh off of the human's body, to get to the bones.) And they have two long, clawed arms. The claws can rip through just about any thing soft. Mainly for flesh and hide though. Then, comes the head. Their heads are the scariest feature to really come onto their poor nasty, mangled body. Their heads are deer skulls. They only have one. Once in a while you will get a two-headed one, but that is demonic. On the head of the skull, two huge antlers protrude out from both sides. They look like moose antlers. In the skull is what you never want to see. In the skull are rows of sharp teeth. The teeth are small, they bring more pain then what normal sharp, long toothed things might. When they bite you, it feels like needles going into the skin. As if the needles are trying to reach your core. They rip unmercifully at your tender flesh. Pain and agony is an understatement. When you are with them, your life will be a living hell.

Jack sighed. 'Last time they had the little girl.' He thought about it. The Halloween people could hear the damned Wendigo's screams of enjoyment. They could also hear the sound of the girl. The poor girl, as she screamed in pain as those nasty needle like teeth went into her. Tore her to bits. Their screams are high and filled with pain. They almost sound as if they are screaming and crying for the people that they kill.

Jack turned from the window. He quickly turned and left the room. Zero followed him, trying to keep up. Jack hurried down the stairs. Zero only had to glide down them.

Zero even went ahead of Jack, and through the door. He barked as he waited for Jack. Jack was there in seconds. He swung the door open. He ran over to the nearest screaming woman. When Jack tapped her on the should though, everyone went silent. They all turned their attention on him. "What is going on? Did you see where they took her?"

"Nooo, no, master Jack. I have no clue. We only heard the screams. But we all know that they have another one. We know that they will do it again." The woman began to sob.

Jack looked around the village, "Gather as many people as you can. We will follow the screams and look for the person before it is too late." Jack ordered to the 3 vampires that were looking at him. They bowed and then walked off.

Jack listened to the screams of the Wendigos. They sounded odd today. He had a frown, and angry frown on his face. He turned back to the crowd, getting ready to give the next order.

meanwhile.

Victor could hear screaming. The screaming was so loud. It was hurting his ears. He was being carried though. Be something. He tried to look around. He saw nothing. He tried to move. He couldn't. Then that's when he remembered. He was still tangled up in the vines. He began to wiggle. That only made the screams lower down. Soon, he was dropped.

"Oof." He said as he hit the hard ground. He tried to move around. He could. But once he tried to get away by rolling to his side, something heavy landed on him. Victor groaned at the pain. He decided to be still.

The thing that was holding him down made a sound. It was a low sound. It then grew louder. It became so loud that Victor thought that his head was going to bust open. A headache began to throb and threaten his head.

Victor was about to scream when all of a sudden everything went silent. The creatures above him were silent, the wind was silent. Everything seemed to freeze. Victor was thinking that he was dead. But, all of a sudden, a voice said, "Hello. Victor." It was a man's voice. It was strong. It was mysterious. It terrified Victor.

Victor shifted under the vines. He found that he couldn't say anything at all. He thought though, "How does he know my name? Who is he?" Victor made an 'mmm. Hmmm.' Sound.

The man laughed. He then knelt down and said, "I don't think he can talk. Someone cut his head loose. And I don't mean cut it off!" He said in a stern voice.

Victor cringed. But, he then felt the vines loosen around his neck and his head. Soon, he knew that the vines around his head were gone. But he kept his eyes closed. He didn't want to open them. He had a thought that he shouldn't anyway. Victor was quiet too.

The man motioned for the wendigos to hide. He knew that they didn't want to be seen by this human anyway. They slunk into the darkness of the place that they had brought Victor to. Which was a castle. It was a castle that the Wendigos found and then made their own. Of course, they had a leader. The leader was, unfortunately, the headless horseman. But he had a head. (Okay, did any of you see the headless horseman, in the movie with Johnny Depp? Well, he is in Sleepy Hollow. Another one of Tim Burton's movies. Very good. Well, anyway, this is him, leader of the Wendigos. But, he has a head.) The headless horseman, who wasn't headless, looked down at Victor, "Hello, again. Would you care to open your eyes?" He said rather in a gentle tone.

Victor slowly opened his eyes. When he looked at the man, he saw this, black, spiky like hair, green eyes, and sharp teeth. The teeth looked almost as bad as rotten candy. Victor wanted to close his eyes again. He looked at the man and then looked up. He found that he was in a large building. It looked okay, besides the fact that there were spiders, and creepy stuff everywhere. He looked and saw that there was a fire. The room had some old, dead looking pictures hanging on the walls.

The headless horseman looked at Victor, "Call me Aaron." He smiled again and then said, "Do you want something to eat?"

Victor looked at him, "I want to go home." He said in a gentle and calm way.

Aaron gave him a smile, "Well, I am sorry about that. But you will just have to be happy here."

Victor tried to look the man in the eyes, "Home." Was all he said. Then, he passed out.

End of chapter 2. Well, I am very sorry about that. I am really sorry that I explained in the middle of the chapter. Kind of. But, I wanted to use the headless horseman from sleepy hollow. I wanted to use the one from the movie Tim Burton made though. The good-looking headless horseman. Well anyway, I have a picture at the bottom. If you can't see it, then I guess you wont ever know whom I am talking about.
