Written in Blood
A thump came from the side of the window then another. Paine took a step back from her work, wooden boards criss-crossed the fragile pains of glass. Gippal and Baralai came down the stairs minus their boards.
"That's upstairs done" Baralai said slowly and a little quietly…Paine was still starting out the boarded up window her arms crossed.
"What's on you mind Doctor P?" Gippal wiped his hands on his trousers.
Paine stood silent, her crimson eyes scanning the fog watching the vague outlines moves. One question bugged her…etching a fearful beat to her heart… "Why don't they just attack us?…" Paine turned to her friends.
Rummaging through the dusty basement Yuna fought back a cough as the dust choked her. Lulu was removing lids from boxes, Wakka taking things down from shelves. Wakka gritted his teeth as the heavy box went squint…he lost his grip.
"Yo heads Tidus!!" But his friends failed to hear it…
"OW!!" The box connected spilling its contents across the dusty floor.
Yuna's eyes caught something through the dust, the two boys argued while Yuna came over to what had fallen out. Brushing away some old boxes she found a bounded leather book, Yuna picked it up from the dusty floor and wiped it off. It sat there in Yuna's hands, she flipped it round looking for a title but found none.
"What do you have there Yuna?" Lulu came over from a pile of assorted junk she'd been looking through.
"Um…" Yuna trailed off "…I don't really know"
"Well it's a book of something right?" Rikku came bouncing over now tired of looking through stuffy old boxes. "So lets just read some and see!"
Yuna opened to a random page, her mind was filling with the words.
September 30th
I've bought a small cabin in the Moonflow and I'm now in the process of moving in…
"It's a diary." Yuna felt sort of dirty for reading it.
"Gimme gimme!" Rikku snatched the diary from Yuna turning to yet another random entry. Yuna relaxed knowing she didn't have to read someone else's diary anymore.
November 8th
I write this now due to concern. I've been hearing…strange noises from around the cabin and the nearby forest. Whatever these fiends are…they howl…and their curious about what my cabin is. I'm going into Luca tomorrow morning to get a fiends archive, maybe it might tell me what these things are. But in till then…I'm not stepping foot outside this cabin till daybreak.
Rikku looked up from the pages, Lulu nodded to go on.
November 9
I've been paging through this for almost the entire afternoon and I still can't find anything that fits what I've been hearing. What if this is a new type of fiend…or perhaps my mind is just playing tricks on me…I really need some sleep.
"Seems whomever wrote that was having some trouble with fiends" Lulu fell silent for a moment. "Rikku I don't think we should read anymore for the time begin. And Wakka where is the box for all these books?"
"Right here Lu, ya" Wakka lifted the featherweight cardboard.
Baralai watched one of the dark shapes closely. He would watch in till the shape moved out of sight then he would go to another window and do the same. He found it strange…he had seen three of them. And two of them went round in a different direction, while one was closer than the other two.
"What are you waiting for? What is it you're doing?" Baralai asked under his breath. This wasn't the ordinary behaviour for a fiend.
Baralai watched as one of them stopped, the mass turning his way. The blue misty outline stood watching him and Baralai watching it. Baralai felt like something was close…as if death was running a cold finger down his spine. A chilly breath blow in front of his vision, Baralai froze his ears tuning to the deep breathing. Something dark sprinted past the window, Baralai jumped back on seeing the eyes of the creature glaring at him as it went past. A creek sounded causing Baralai to yell, Tidus almost tumbled down the stairs back into the basement.
"Geez Baralai!" Tidus regained his balance as Wakka pushed him forward with the box.
"Sorry! Got sort of caught up in watching them!" Baralai started catching his breath and focusing on slowing his heartbeat. He gave a glance out the window as the others went by him…nothing was there.
Yuna took a seat on the couch as the others talk among themselves. Her bicoloured glanced ever so briefly at the small form of the diary sitting atop a cushion. She looked away blanking it she didn't want to now anything else. But still…the small diary sat there…holding all the answers to her questions. Yuna giving in to her desire, lifted the small diary over to herself and placed on her knees. She slowly turned each page, mind taking in words and painting pictures. Her blood began to chill as the frightening tale was told.
The nights here are becoming dangerous. These things…they are becoming the stuff of nightmares. I can hear them outside even as I write this. They're trying to get in. Trying to silence my findings. Most people would have left by now, but something compels me to stay here. I've been watching them…trying to learn what they are.
These things are monsters…
I've noticed that these creatures only appear on nights of the full moon. They hunt in a pack and their speed and strength are incredible. Many time I've been forced to barricade the doors and windows and stay awake with my rifle all night…the routine changes though…as if their gauging me. Trying to learn all my ins and outs. They won't get me…
These things…they are not fiends. It took me a great deal of time and effort to find the texts. But I'm sure of my findings! I was sceptical at first but now…I'm positive. But these things…they were suppose to be just fairytales and legends. They are Werewolf's…I no longer doubt my finding! To much points towards this! They're form! The claws! The eyes! The howling! The full moon!!…How can I fight something that is not suppose to exist?…I hope the books will hold that answer…I dear not think what could happen.
I'll share with you something I found today…but I wish I hadn't…I…I…traders have been going missing lately. I was searching around in the woods and…I found them…all of them…dead. Their flesh…had been ravaged…some parts were just bone. Limps had been severed…the bellies sliced open…insides slithering around and gnawed apon. My mind cannot clear these horrors…the images are to strong…
I can hear them now…they've found a way in. I am prepared to die, but my soul will be at ease with these final notes I write.
To my dearest Daughter Cara, I proud of you…you're a smart kid with lots of potential, don't worry what others say to you. Just follow your heart and you'll do just fine…
To my wife Jillian…I'm sorry…sorry I couldn't see you again…or hear your sweet voice once more. Look after Cara for me, give her a kiss goodnight and tell her daddy loves her.
There on the stairs now…I can hear their breathing…
I'll watch over you both…goodbye…I love you bo-
Yuna glided a finger over the page…the three deep slash marks and dried blood followed the sudden stop in words. A long line of ink moving from a sudden steady spot…the page ruined. She closed the small leather book placing it on the spot where it had been left…it's dark secrets had been brought to light. Lulu took one of the other books as Yuna sat silently. They were all on the subject of Werewolf's, Lulu noticed the look in Yuna's eyes. Yuna's head turned her eye meeting Lulu's…the look was all the two needed.
…The nightmares had came true…
