Chapter Three:
Drizzling rain, howling winds and roaring thunder filled the autumn night. As the citizens of Peach Creek Hills ran for shelter from the storm, while one cloaked figured stood high on top of the mountains that were surrounding the small city.
Suddenly a cloud of black smoke appeared behind the figure. A pale colored creature with no eyes, nose, or ears emerged from the cloud of smoke kneeling before the figure.
"I have returned master." The hideous creature said in a low raspy tone.
"Have you found the girl?" The cloaked figure said as he turned his attention towards the creature.
"Yes…Master….Here I have a photo…Just as you have requested." The creature said as it pulled out a photograph.
As the cloaked man took the photo, the creature looked onward to the city, licking it's lips ever so hungrily.
"Excellent, you have done well my servant." The cloaked figure said as he placed the photo within his cloak.
"Please Master…..May we just this once…Feed on just a few of the humans…There are so many of the, the mass won't notice one, two, three people missing.." the creature said.
"No!" The cloaked man said.
"I've already told you until we have the girl, none of us shall feast."
"But Master…It has been many moons since any of us have eaten."

"I've already lost her once and I will not loser her again. Do I make myself clear nave?" The cloaked man asked.
"Y-Yes…Sire." The creature replied.
"But fear not, for once we possess this girl, we shall devour this entire city in celebration for mine and my beloved's union." The cloaked man said as he returned his attention towards the city.
"Yes…My lord….But…."
The cloaked man gave a sigh.
"Have those two humans we've captured a few days ago, reviled any of their secrets?"
"N-No sire not yet."
"Well then, if they're not going to talk. Then they might be of use as a midnight snack."
The creature gave a smile, while eagerly jumping into the air.
"Really master?"
"Yes my son, go now and tell all your brothers and sisters that there is fresh meat tonight."
"Thank you master thank you." The creature said as it vanished into a cloud of black smoke.
The man took the photo from within his cloak.
"It won't be long now, my love." The man said as a flash of lightning enveloped the stormy night sky.
"So these are our new team mates huh?" I asked with an unsure look on my face.
"So it appears
