The Hunter
I can feel it watching me... stalking me.. If only I had listened to her warnings..
December 3rd 1862
It was a normal day in Faith's Hill. I was writing my novel.. When Satrena appeared from our room upstairs. "Good morning, my love." she said, hugging me where I sat. I laughed at her presence, "Love? We only married last week." I said, holding her hand.
She giggled, I loved how she made me feel strong, "I know, but I'm not calling you Nathan forever." she whined. I could only laugh. "Well then, if you will start calling me, love, then I shall call you sweety." I said, turning my attention back to my novel. Satrena said something that I could not quite hear but I paid little mind to it. I heard her leave, she works as the chef at the Inn, I reminded myself.
I kept writing for heavens know how long. And before I knew it the sun was setting... strange. Satrena should have been back by now.. What if something happened to her...
"No!" I shouted, jumping up from my chair. I quickly ran to the kitchen, opened the medical cabinet, took out my bottle of pills and quickly downed two of them. I leaned over the sink dreading their bitter taste. These damn hallucinations.. I sighed, standing up straight. My vision blurred for a minute or two.
Suddenly, a loud crash came from upstairs.. What if Satrena was there and I never saw her come in.. I quickly gathered my thoughts and ran up the stairs...
All the lights were out. The only light was the eerie glow from the moonlight, creating a ominous fog. I carefully walked through the fog to our bedroom, where the fog was... coming out of? I entered the room and the fog seemed to clear. And there was someone..
"Satrena.." I said, stepping forward a bit. She turned around and I fell back in fear. Staring at the gashes across her body and face.. Her eyes were... clawed out.
Suddenly, she started screaming at inhuman volumes. I covered my ears and closed my eyes.. her voice was piercing threw my head and when she stopped I opened my eyes. She was inches away from my face.. her lifeless black eyes tore threw me as she stared... She opened her mouth revealing thousands of razor like teeth and in a flash she tore in to my neck.
"AAAH!" I screamed awake, falling off of the bed. "Nathan!" called a familiar voice. Then I felt a warm embrace surrounding me. I looked up with tears in my eyes.
"S-Satrena?.." I choked on my sobs as I pulled her into my arms. "H-Hey, it's okay. I'm right here. Everything is going to be fine.." she said. I was shaking... What was that nightmare?...
