It had been another long day of hunting, setting and re-setting traps and I was finally on my way back home. My cabin is a comfortable size. Big enough for a bed, a place to cook and eat, store goods, all that.
"Finally home." I huffed as I entered my cabin and tossed the two rabbits I had gathered from some of my traps onto my kitchen table. I shook off my wet coat and placed it on a coat rack near the door. Water dripped onto the wooden floor. A light rain had started falling as I was making my way home.
I placed my hands on the table, my rifle in one hand, and stared at the two rabbits "Not my best day" I sighed "might as well cook these up for myself." I walked over to my fireplace, behind the table, and started getting a fire ready.
The rain really started pouring now.
I was striking a piece of flint when a loud thunderclap startled me out of my concentration. I looked up and out the window behind me, above my bed; the wind was strong now and had flung the window open.
"Shit." Rain and leaves were flying in. drenching the the place where I sleep. I got up quickly and ran over to the open window. I climbed over my bed to reach it; I took a look out the window before securing it shut, I could hear faint screams coming from outside. My eyes widened "that has to be coming from the village..." I locked the window and ran over to the side of the cabin with windows that directly faced the village, past the table and fireplace.
"oh god…" through the trees the red glow of fire was easy to see. I could hear the screaming and yelling clearly now as well. I could see that homes were burning, people were frantic, they were yelling...what are they yelling?
'Get it! Get it!'
I heard them scream. Oh no. I knew it. They're being attacked again. Could someone have actually spotted one of the monsters this time? They usually come and go quickly and quietly, leaving us to deal with the destruction in the morning.
'That's the monster! I know it is!' A mob had formed and they seemed to have ran into my forest chasing something. I could see a string of torches filling through the trees.
They're seemed to be hot on its heels. We might actually have a chance to end this nightmare! I jumped into action. I reached for my coat. Ripping it from the coat rack and shoving it on. I lunged for my rifle on my table, throwing it over my shoulder. I was ready to burst through my front door and try and kill whatever this beast was but before I even reached the door handle I heard something that sounded like a grunt and the window above my bed was flung open once again. I turned to see what it was but what I saw moved faster that the speed of lighting. Something flying towards me. A flash of red. And pain.
