It's October, the year is 2015 and it happens to be All Hallows Eve. Belle was rushing out the door after fixing her hair and placing on her costume which was a cute little outfit like a short dress. And an adorable familiar red hood followed by a waist line flowing velvety cape. Her blue eyes glistening in the night as she walked out her door, the light poles shining over head. As the sun is setting fully. She smiles while being greeted by a few of her girl friends as they continue on their merry way to the party place that was booming with loud music a few miles out of town in the country side. Nothing but fields of green, and forest edging all around them deep and dark and dank. The party seemed to be a big hit as there were countless people running around drinking and having a ball. Listening to loud music and jamming out not to mention the crazy dancing that was taking place. After a few hours of being there her girl friends had been more than wasted she happened to be drinking herself but was only on her second cup of nutmeg. And yes it was tainted with alcohol. She was away from the large party group of hormonal teens as she stood near the edge close to the woods her chick friends calling out "hey red! you should come join us and get yourself a boyfriend already!! girlfriend! Wooo!!!" she only shook her head as a small grin framed her innocent sweet lush pink lips. Her golden hair glowing radiant from the rather large bon fire near by. Soon her eyebrows curled as she heard a rather loud rustling noise that happened to take place behind her in the woods. She leaned forward to take a better look peaking at the dark wooded area but saw nothing as she crept through the sticking pointy branches she continued into the woods holding a small flash light with a click of a button turning it on and shining into the darkness to light her way. Suddenly seeing blood after a few paces through. Soon noticing a path she grew curiouser and curiouser following along not realizing she was now about a mile away from her group of friends. All alone out in the wilderness. She stopped seeing a rather large puddle of blood soaking into the dirt and seeing large if not a plentiful bunch of bones surrounding her and soon seeing a rather large whitish light that happened to blind her as she peered through her fingertips that covered her eyes soon letting down her hand and her eyes grew larger seeing a overly large black wolf with eyes like pearls no colored iris's just standing a few feet before her as she gasped unable to move from the amount of fear that filled her body. The song playing on the sound system not far away echoed through the woods as she heard the subtle tunes and her heart pounding heavily beneath her chest.
Not far from the party at the edge of the woods two loud howls pierced the veil of the mortal plane followed by two horrific hounds. Almost ghostly chains attached the hounds to the hand of a dark figure as he seemed to step through a mirror. He spoke with a perfect dull tone, completely emotionless. "Well boys we're here." He then walked to the party. His steps where as if he had all the time in the world slow and careful. As he reached the party he found a random lawn chair placed just on the outskirt next to a large truck and sat down Alisteen to his left and fluffy on the right.(humans can only hear the hell hounds. They can't see them.) He watched the party progress examining there behavior and deciding which one he should kill first.
Belle's eyes would widen as she saw the rather large over grown wolf about the size of a small barn. She gathered what strength she had within her to begin to take a few steps back. Heading away from the wolf as he stared at her as if peeking into her very soul her heart began to pound hard and harshly as she held her chest then turned and ran for her life screaming heading back toward the party as she did so. Trying to keep catching her breath and running as fast as her feet would carry her. Soon as she made it back she saw everyone still partying and acting like they were when she left. She stopped and placing her hands against her knees leaning forward to catch her breath as she did her blue hues searched people around her as she spotted some of her friends she ran over to them looking petrified. "What happened to you babydoll you look as if you seen a ghost hahaha!" her friend gloria spoke to her as she was pretty drunk that was no secret. Belle only sighed as she tried to breathe steadily to better explain what she saw. After a few moments her friends began laughing about the "delusion" she apparently saw as they always had before. "Have you taken your medicine? maybe you should.." one of her friends spoke to her teasing as they always did. She merely shook her head and looked away as she strolled away from them trying not to pay any attention to their slanderous drunken words toward her. She knew she was seeing things but more so than ever she felt alone in it all. As she walked through the crowd and the blaring music she found her way to the drink stand as she then saw through the flames of the bon fire a strange man with white hair sitting in one of the lawn chairs across the field, but that was not all she noticed. Soon as she saw the vicious looking dogs beside him and their ferocious teeth she yelped dropping the very cup she had began to fill with more alcohol to calm her nerves. In panic she tried to yell to everyone but no one listened the music was to loud, and the people were far to drunk to pay any attention to a yelling eighteen year old about monsters.
Nix still debating on his meal slowly scanned the party till his eye's locked with a frightened teen. She had the look that she had seen his pets and then he stood up ever so slowly. " Hey buddy wa you tank you're doing sitting in my chair?" A completely drunk man said as he stood up. Nix ignored him as he spoke calmly "Alisteen fetch." The hell hound bound off directly towards the young woman that had seen him, howling like a ghostly blood hound. The chain connecting to Nix's hand snapped off at Alisteen's collar giving the dog free rain of movement. In a second he was snapping at the girls cloak. Finally getting a hold of her he began dragging her back to his master. Meanwhile Nix clutched onto the drunk boys throat. Holding him off the ground about half a foot. As he held him the boys skin began to change to the color gray like a ceramic doll concaving in on its self like he was being drained of his very essence.
Feeling the grass tug against her clothing on her back as she was being dragged across the dirt and soil every horrible thought racing through her mind as she screamed for help yet every person she passed never thought to lend her a hand or even question what had a hold of her. Her eyes wide and searching each and every individual as they became glossy and filled with fear the fire like a mirror in her eyes as she gasped and held tightly with her fingertips around her red velvet hood that was tied tightly around her neck. The hound that could be from a horror story like a nightmare pulling and tugging at her hood dragging her back around the bon fire as she passed it people began to stare and most of them even laughing thinking since it was Halloween it was a show being put on at random for everyone's enjoyment. "Heeeeyyy!! maannnnn!! take a look at dat chhik yo!!, thinks a ghost has got her bro!.. hahaha" some drunken teens yelled out as she passed no one would come to her aid as she tried to struggle tried to get away but couldn't only gasping and trying to hold her own daring not to look above her to see what had hold of her. "this... is it.." she thought "I'm ganna die.. no.. it's the dead come back to earth to kill everyone its the apocalypse!!.." she thought once again trying not to let her thoughts run wild in her mind she continued to attempt at yelling out. Soon as everyone saw the other teen being held by a strange man near one of the lawn chairs they saw how the boy looked and instantly freaked as everyone became chaotic running and jumping into their cars and trying to drive away.
As the pandemonium erupted Nix dropped the now husk of a body he was holding. He then gave a sharp whistle and said in his calm voice. "fetch boy." As fluffy's chain came undone the hound grew double and bit into the closest truck stopping it in its tracks and flipping it over on its side. The hound ripped a hole in the cab roof and soon emerged with a screaming girl, her leg shredded from his teeth. As this was happening Alisteen arrived with the young woman. Nix looked down on the screaming woman with no emotion what so ever. "So what are you my pet? How does it see my companions?" He finished his sentence as soon as fluffy returned with the unconscious mangled woman. Throwing the girl at Nix's feet right next to belle.
Belle let her hues look up at the strange man that was showing no emotion the look on his face was expressionless to her as he spoke with such a mono toned voice to her asking how she could see his hounds. She only felt her body tense up and her heart felt as if it had traveled to her throat. She swallowed hard trying not to scream as she slowly sat up dusting the grass from her hood and clothing. Soon as she did so a body plopped next to her as her eyes widened she let out a small scream, her hands quickly met her chest as she held it tightly pulling up her hood as to cover her head and soon cupped her ears to the point she was rocking back and fourth hearing the screams and yells of everyone around her and seeing the womans mangled leg next to her unsure if she was alive or dead. She gasped almost hyperventilating as she tried to calm herself rocking back and fourth soon closing her eyes "It's just a dream.. its just a dream or delusion it isnt real.. go away go away... disappear!..." she spoke out loud almost as she tried to comfort herself thinking she had gone insane or that the night had really taken a turn for the worse and she was about to meet her maker. Soon her eyes popped back open hearing growls from the other hound as it frightened her greatly her face now sheet white as fear set in. She turned looking up at the strange male before her noticing his white locks of hair almost silver. And random goth attire. She cleared her throat. "I am nothing.. just a human being like everyone else.. here.. what do you want from me?.. I dont know how I see things.. I just do.. I'm crazy I think... " she spoke out loud with hesitance and fear in her voice. Shaking now from head to toe almost in shock to what was transpiring around her. "who are you?.. why are you here?.. where did you come from and why are you killing people!?" she spoke as if she wanted answers but deep down she didn't really want to know as though she knew the answer itself would frighten her the most.
The two hounds went to there represented place next to Nix, Alisteen to his left and fluffy to his right. Fluffy now back to his normal height and both sat perfectly still by their master. Nix kneeling down almost eye level with belle spoke. "You see them do you not?" Not even waiting for an answer he continued. "If you see them then you are not human. Do you understand pet?" He placed his hand on the mangled girls unconscious body and began draining it as he continued to speak. "As far as what I am it should be clear. I'm a demon. Once magically bound by my own kind to a boulder in the dark realm, now I'm free, deathly hungry and looking for a certain being in your realm. So I ask again pet. What are you?" The girls body he was feasting on sunk in on its self as he finished speaking.
Her eyes not only fixated on the freakish thing that was occurring before her as his hand alone was causing a girl to slowly fade as he appeared to be draining her very life force from her body looking to be taking all her nourishment for himself. She was dumbfounded and confused as to what was really happening as she wanted to scream but could not. "pet?.." she thought to herself "why is he calling me pet?.." she wondered. But then noticed he kept asking what she was wondering what he meant. She did not understand why she could see them but apparently according to him they were real. And a demon?! what on earth was going on. He was from hell?! "no way..." she accidentally spoke out loud as she soon covered her lips with her hand and coughed a bit as she moved slightly away from the scary man. "I don't know what I am... if I am anything I would think it was human... I don't know how I can see your.. freakish dogs.. of hell or.. how your draining that poor woman or why.. you are even here.. I don't know!.." she then gasped as she kept her distance feeling her chest throb from the pain of her anxiety starting to set in. As this was all crazy and overwhelming upon her. People all around had vanished to their vehicles and some were simply passed out in their own filth or from drinking to much and sleeping on the grassy ground beneath them. She kept a firm eye on him as she wondered and waited for what was to happen next. Her long golden locks seeming to dance in the wind from her chest as her blue hues stared at him silently though curiously.
"I guess you are telling the truth. Though I am deeply curious now." He stood back up and began circling her examining her from head to toe. "Do you do anything non human like pet? What about the ones that spawned you are they human?" He then stopped walking around her now standing to her left. Glaring down at her he spoke again. "Yes pet you are a curious one." While this was going on a young man had got a nine milometer pistol out of his glove box shaking as he aimed at Nix pulled the trigger. The bullet flew only a inch from Nix's neck. Not even flinching as this happened Nix whistled and fluffy ran forward getting pelted with bullets form the nine before reaching the fool and began ripping the man apart.
Her blue hues only watched him as he circled her a few times. Her breathing enhanced as her heart beat only sped up that much faster as she heard his questions she licked her lips as a nervous tick playing with her golden locks of hair as the wind carried her sweet aroma like scent toward his nose she didn't know what he was talking about. "Doing something non human?.. " she thought to herself a moment as she pondered his question soon remembering the strange happenings she had encountered time after time seeing creatures and visiting places she could not explain. So she mentioned it to him the best way that she could. Noticing his grimacing glare as he peered down at her causing her cheeks to flush red as she looked away almost instantly. "I..I .. Don't know I'm just I've always been able to see things and places.. That no one else could.. Creatures and..." She was interrupted by the pistol firing as she saw him sick the hell hound on a man with a gun she screamed out hovering her eyes and ears as best she could to block out the mans screams and the sounds of the hound tearing at his flesh and chomping his bones as if he were a giant steak. She shook all over as if she were cold but her nerves were clearly shot. Her lips quivered as she looked up at him once again gaining the strength and will to speak with a shaky voice. "M-my parents... Were human.. To my knowledge ... " the wind blowing more so now as her sweet scent carried to him unlike the other humans around them she was different more unique. She trembled as he stare at her. Feeling that if her heart could be heard loudly from how strongly and fast it were beating beneath her chest it would be like a drum. "W-what .. Is it that you want with me?.." She spoke softly.
The wind blowing her scent toward him made him inhale deeply. He then leaned down closer and inhaled again. "You don't even smell human pet." He stood back up slowly. "Yes I'm sure now I've never met one like your self. He turned around to look at fluffy whispering as he turns. Yes I might have to keep her till I figure this out." He then whistles again, making fluffy trout back almost happy like.
She gasped after hearing his subtle yet blunt type words as she quickly stood and placed her hands to her chest "I'm not going with you!? are you mad!?..well ....maybe ya are.. but i'm not going anywhere with you.. " thinking to herself she was in a bad situation that was about to escalate fast. Going nowhere she decided to turn and run watching behind her as she did so. Hoping that one of those creepy ass dogs didn't follow her. Soon as she ran a few paces she came to the horrible realization that she was vehicle-less. And really had nowhere to run to. She stopped and sighed heavily holding her chest as it was pounding unusually fast and causing her a little bit of pain. She kept a steady eye on the crazed man. As her heart was pounding and she felt a bit dizzy. Soon without warning feeling a clammy type hand upon her ankle she quickly motioned her gaze downward seeing a man that was missing half his face groaning at her crawling out from behind a beer table with a loud echoing scream she kicked him off, her face turned white and she ran like a bat out of hell. waving her arms frantically.
