John was watching the sun as it started to set in the new world he had come too, he came here to start a new life with all of the other people that came with him. This would be his last day in Roanoke because he was elected to go back to England to get more supplies. They were running out, as the sun approached the horizon John leaned forward on the branch he was sitting on. John yelled towards the sun

"Don't go, don't go, please don't let tomorrow come"

John sighed and sat back on the trunk of the tree. Then, as John said to himself.

"Tomorrow is going to come no matter how much I pray I will still have to leave for England no matter what I do"

John then whispered to himself,

"If only I could freeze time and stay on this one day for the rest of my life"

John didn't want to go he loved Roanoke, it was his home, he loved the peace that he would never get in England, he loved the nature that surrounded Roanoke he just didn't want to leave quite yet, he never wanted to leave he wanted to stay until he died. He loved watching the animals, as they passed he would draw them during his long walks through the woods, he didn't want to leave not at all but he had to if he didn't then Roanoke would fall and he didn't want that but why not someone else anybody else. He knew he would be back in a few months and would never have to leave again but a few months is too long he would miss out on so many events and finding new plants and animals he wouldn't get to sketch them and he would miss the people because they all loved his passion for nature, they would only kill what they needed nothing more, they all wanted to learn how to draw and they would go to him and he would teach them, the kids all wanted to go on his long walks with him and they would follow him and he would show them his favorite spot to sit in, which is where he is right now, and he would show them his favorite animals and plant and teach them to be kind to all life, even each other.

As the sun crept up on the horizon John stood up in the tree and wondered where the sun would go and if it would return. The horizon finally ate the sun and John stared at the horizon, he finally started to climb down the tree when he reached the trunk of the tree he looked at the horizon he wondered for a minute,

Will, I ever return to Roanoke or will I ever see such a beautiful sunset again. Will I ever see the nature of this place again.

He came here to start new, to get out of England's grasp but he finds himself running back into England's arms as a child running into their parent's arms.

As John started walking back to Roanoke he started to doze off, he tried to escape the grip of sleep as it clutched him in its arms. John didn't want to sleep he wanted to see the woods as long as he could, he wanted to remember this place as long as he could. As John approached the entrance of Roanoke he heard something rustling in the bushes behind him. John turned slowly to see a shadow approaching him

"Hello, whos there"

The shadow stopped, John got no reply.

He asked once more this time he got a response it sounded demonic though, it was laughter, it was demonic laughter. John felt fear in his body. He couldn't control his legs as he turned and sprinted towards the entrance he looked back over his shoulder to see the figure changing into something it kept laughing and laughing when he turned to look where he was going he ran into Peter. John screamed and Peter just looked at him

"Everything all right?"

Peter asked as John got up and ran towards his wattle. He did not turn around this time he ran through the crowd as he kept his eyes on his house.

When John got inside his house he slammed the door shut and put a chair in front of it. John started to pace around the room he looked around his room, he grabbed some ink, a feather, and paper as he sat down and started to draw what he had seen. When he was done, it seemed to be a man in a jacket or a coat with a mask John could ́t make out the rest of the man as he was too tired to think straight, he went to his bed and tried to relax. John finally got relaxed and he fell asleep.

John awoke to a startling noise he sat up and looked around his room he listened for the noise again. Then he heard it, it was laughter the same laughter he heard earlier outside of Roanoke but he heard it inside of the wattle next door to him. The man that lived there was James Reid. John got up and put his boots on and went outside

When he got to James wattle he opened the door slowly so he wouldn't wake James if he was just going crazy. He thought to himself

"I'm just going crazy, please just let me be going crazy"

The door creaked as he opened it. John took a deep breath and looked up at the stars and he imagined that he was a star just looking down on Roanoke then he wouldn't have to leave Roanoke ever, he could stay here forever. John was brought back down to Earth by James screaming.

John rushed into James' house. It was pitch black John couldn't see a thing it was hard for John to make a single thing out. All he could see was the foot of James's bed.

"James where are you"

John whispered as he continued to look around when he looked at the far left corner he saw two glowing yellow eyes.

John tripped over something it was the lantern for James's room. John turned around and went back outside he looked around at the darkness that had consumed the outside world John finally found two sticks. John headed back inside and he tried to light the lantern. When John finally got the lantern to light the room came to life with shadows. John walked around the room then he slipped on something he bent down and he could feel something cold he put the lantern on the ground and he could see something red it was blood James blood he looked back at the corner and the two yellow eyes were gone.

John tried to move towards the corner of the room but he couldn't move. He looked back at the blood but it wasn't just blood it was a trail of blood and it leads right back to where the yellow eyes were. John now was trying to run but his legs wouldn't move. His body was consumed with something he had never felt before, he didn't like it.

"Fear"

John looked around the room when his eyes landed on the far left corner, the yellow eyes were back again but this time one of the eyes was blue and the other was yellow.

"Fear"

It would say again. John's heart was pumping faster and faster, faster than a man riding a horse.

"Where i-i-ss J-a-a-aa-mes"

John continued to look at the glowing eyes. John didn't know where this stutter came from he had never stuttered before. Like the feeling, he was having consumed his body he tried to stand his ground.

"I just wanted to be friends"

John didn't know what that meant but he kept looking at the eyes the feeling inside him rising as he kept staring at the eyes as his guts started to cramp.

"W-w-wha-t-t does t-t-th-a-t mean"

"All I want is a friend"

John wanted to run but he couldn't, it was like being trapped in a bear trap and the bear is outside that trap.

"Don't leave me"

It said, but instead of it being the creature's voice...it was James. John's heart beat faster it felt like it was about to jump straight out of his chest and onto the floor.

How could this be...isn't James dead?

"W-h-hat do you w-a-ant"

John tried to keep his ground but on the inside, he felt like he was in a nightmare, an everlasting nightmare that he could not awake from.

"I want your fear, I will feed on your fear, I will feed on the fear of the people of this worthless little colony and I'll kill them all including you and nobody is going to miss any of your worthless lives"

John was scared he didn't want to admit it but deep down he was a scared little kid who can't face their fears. It was like he was running from the old bullies from his school when he was a kid.

"Are you scared now Johnny"

When it said that John bolted out of the wattle behind him it was laughing he ran out of James wattle screaming the first person to come out of their wattles was Jason Fitzpatrick.

"John what's wrong"

John stopped and looked at Jason instead of answering John ran back into James wattle. John ran straight to the corner where he found James' body it was split in half. John bent down and when he put his knee down he felt a sharp pain in it. John quickly lifted his knee he looked down and saw something white it looked like bone. Then John looked up at James' head his skull was completely shattered and his brain was gone. James' ribs were broken his arms were both gone and his guts were all over the place. On his bed was one of his hands with what it appeared to be bite marks. His legs were broken that you could see the bones sticking out of his flesh. John stepped on something he looked down it had been one of James eyeballs. John ran outside and vomited as everybody watched.

"Everybody back to your wattles"

John said as he looked at Jason he saw black then he fell.
