My walk home was quite like any other night, the full moon casting a gentle blue light on all around illuminating my way. It was cold, the frigid air making my every breath visible, so I decided to tske a short cut that would lead to my present situation.
I decided to take a path through the woods, doing so would take about 10 minutes off my journey. With no streetlights to guide me through I had to use the light of the moon and my hearing to traverse this dark place.
Thats when I heard it. The gentle padding in the trees, just beyond my vision. The sound of a snarled breath. My pace quickening to match the beating of my heart I pushed forward, only then seeing a quick flash of a shadow pass before me
Then, from behind a heat hit me. And a smell most foul, turning around I saw what is now pinning me to the ground. He must be about 8ft, muscled flesh showing through a thick hide of dark soft fur. With one elongated hand he pushed me down, his claws sinking deep into my flesh. I thought I was a done for. But now in my situation, lying on my back with this thing above me I know my fate is much worse.
