Lurking Creatures

My neck of the woods

Under the bright moonlight, I stripped off my clothes in front him slowly. First, I undid my hair letting my long red hair fall down. Then, I unbuttoned my blouse and threw into the bushes. I loved making love in the woods. The darkness behind them never revealing the true horrors it hides. As a human, I knew the woods masked all the demons that world refused to see or find. One did find me in life and turned me into a beast that only moonlight can touch. My well tanned skin turned to alabaster, but the contrast to my red hair went hand and hand. He put his hand across my breast for a moment. There was a day when his hands were as warm as the sun, and I could feel the heat of them against my cold body. I used to love that about him.

“You next sweetheart”, I said.

He always listened to me, but always took everything. His bare naked body basked in the moonlight reminded me of a Greek statue. It was his marine build that always got me. I’m a sucker for a strong man in a uniform, I guess. I rubbed his manhood whispered things into his ear that could make even a foul tongued sailor blush. He always whispered back with things that got my cold heart to catch aflame.

“Dear...”, he spoke to me, “We should eat first.”

I nodded as he gestured to the girl at our feet tied up. She cried and begged like they all did, but it wouldn’t matter. It never did to me.

Sex is personal

Sex is Personal

Opening the door for me and waiting to eat until I took my first bite. He was a gentleman through and through. I actually liked this man that’s why I suggested we didn’t dine on the full moon of October. He was perplexed why once a month and I always gave the coy response, “It’s just my time of the month”. I always winked when I said that. He smiled most of the time just accepting it. But, things weren’t meant to be good forever with us I guess. His curiosity took hold of him and he decided to pop in at my place an hour before dusk. When I opened the door, I was surprised and scared. What was I to do? I really liked him. He showed up with a yellow carnation and a big grin. How could I resist that? So, I let him in.
That was my first mistake.Once he was inside, He gave me a deep and sensual kiss. Then, my primal urges took over and soon we found ourselves in my bed having sex like wild animals.

Afterward, I felt taxed and found myself in his thick arms lying naked on the bed. With my head stretched across his chest, I drifted off hearing only his heartbeat beating in my ear like a tribal drum. I felt the moon rise and my body began to form the ugly beast that I’ve trapped inside for so long. At that point in my life, the inner wolf inside of me was a new thing. I hadn’t worked out all the kinks
and bumps in the shift like most veterans come to do. So, I don’t recall much of the actual event save the random images and blurs of vision of ripping him into pieces. One image I can’t get out of my head is of him bleeding helplessly on my bed. His insides were ripped out and his eyes were fixed on mine giving me a strange look. The look in his eyes was shock, hurt, and betrayal running through his mind and soul. I had showed him my true self and he was horrified.I woke up later still in the same bed with my dismembered lover….. and I cried until the day disappeared and night came again.

As fast as I can runaway

Alyssa ran as fast as she could, trying not to trip over any stray branches along the trail. The laughed behind her as if this was a game to him. She was sure it was to him, but it wasn’t for her. How often did this man do this, she wandered. Somewhere deep inside herself, there was a small voice wanting to just stop and cry. The inner voice wanted this to be over with and if that meant just laying down to die, and then she was okay with it. Alyssa fought hard not to listen to that voice inside, and she used every ounce of energy in her being to run to the highway.

She paused a quick moment to gain a breath knowing she had a good amount of ground between her and the man wanting rape and/or kill her. There was no telling what evil plan was set in his demented mind tonight. Perhaps, he was strung out on ecstasy that someone gave him back at the rave. A thought crossed her mind, maybe she was over reacting, but then she looked at the deep scratch in her side and was reminded that this man is looking to hurt someone.

The tree she leaned against was an oak tree hollowed in the middle, enough for a person to fit inside. She thought for a moment and tossed away the idea of hiding inside the tree. She began to sprint toward the direction of the highway, but fell on a loss branch. Real classy, she thought, here she was running from a crazed madman and she trips on something like she was cast in a horror b-movie.

Jake, the madman, laughs as he stands over Alyssa. She screams loudly hoping someone from the nearby rave would hear.

“No use in trying, we are too far away. Remember, you’re the one who wanted to get intimate with no interruptions.” Jake said in a delicate voice.

This didn’t stop Alyssa from screaming anyway. She voiced her opinions by screaming curse words back at him as he grabbed her and lifted Alyssa off the ground.

“Fuck you, bastard! Just fuck you! “, Alyssa shouted, “Is this how you get your kicks? Scaring the shit out of girls and raping them?”

Jake stared at her deeply for a moment as if working out a complex thought, then his green eyes widened brightly like an excited child on Christmas.

“I assure you, I don’t get my jollies out raping girls, nor do I care if they’re scared.” He said in a strange manner, “But, I’m sure you will be scared. “

His hand lifted up and he stretched back ready to punch her when Alyssa noticed his hand transformed into a wooden claw. When his hand came down on her face, she screamed as the flesh begin tear off in bits.

The next day, police would only find a mauled corpse barely recognizable. Chunks of meat from her body had been ripped off as if mauled by a bear or some other wild creature feasting on her remains. Later, the Medical Examiner would report that the wounds were sustained while alive and splinters from an oak tree had been lodged into all of her wounds.
