Warning: Blood, gore, evil things.... You know. The good stuff (will eventually contain sexual content).
Chapter 1- Prologue: Along Came the Shadow
Terrace’s wide, frightened eyes zoomed around the room, trying their best to make out something- anything- in the absolute darkness. Gasping for breath from the chase that had taken place earlier, Terrace watched the tiny slit of light showing at the bottom of the closed door with growing horror.
A shadow cast over his last ray of hope, leaving him with no place to run as someone, or something, moved outside the room..... Thank God he at least remembered to lock the door- There were hands pounding against the door now, demanding entrance.
"Terrace??! Terrace, are you in there??! Please, open the door! Please! Terrace, its coming! Let me in!" Sandra, Terrace’s girlfriend's voice called desperately from outside.
"Sandra!" Running to the door, Terrace unlocked and threw it open.... A scream ripped through the air, blood splattering across the now dimly lit room.
A shadowed figure chuckled, Sandra's limp and bloody remains hanging from his grasp, Terrace’s lying at his feet. Mimicking Sandra's voice again, the creature purrs, "Too late.... such a pity."
Dropping the girl's body, it kneeled by the young man and placed a black, wispy hand on Terrace’s chest. A green trickle of light flowed from the boy’s corpse and up the figure's arm, getting steadily absorbed as it twisted around and up into the shadow’s open mouth.
The figure’s hand began to become more visible and less wispy- only to fade out just as suddenly. Now at least recognizable as a male, the creature hummed his displeasure, whispering in a deep voice that reverberated around the room, "Just a few more..... A few more and I will be free at last...."
