he was engrossed in his work as soft music was blaring in the background.

Outside the window of Jenny's room, the two servants Smith's parents had sent stood in the dark conversing.

"We have to attack today we've been here for two weeks now time is against Boss." One of the spy cats said.

"Yeah I've to go through the window I'll shift into my small cat you'll help me up the window "

They both mumbled and Immediately turned into black cats

The six feet man all muscles began running towards the room the beast knocked into him

it was a monstrous creature that should never be seen.

The creature sank it's fangs into Smiths shoulders

The beast got up and tried to run away

it got to the front door it was locked so it tried to run out true the back door in the kitchen Smith who was losing blood got up and chased it into the kitchen.

He grabbed a sharp kitchen knife from the kitchen wall

It glittered like sparkling stars before the beast,

They were almost same height and weight.

"What do you want from my family?"

Smith asked the beast as they circled each other

Claws were ready for attack the beast was trying to get behind Smith to attack his neck with a bite.

"Smithare you okay ?"

Jennifer called from outside of the room

The beast grunted it jumped on the marble table at the middle of the kitchen and jumped at Smith.

Smith rolled over he plunged the knife into the side of the beast it growled as it scratched his face with is sharp claws.

"Die you beast from hell" Smith said as he hit the head of the heinous beast against the kitchen sink,

it pushed Smith backwards at a fast speed until they crashed down the pots and utensils on the wall

the stringent sound was so loud and stringent.

Smith grabbed the pot of stew that was on the Electric cooker and emptied it at the beast,

The pot became a weapon with which he slammed the beast over and over in the face.

the beast tumbled him to the ground and sank it's sharp canine teeth into his right shoulder Smith let out a loud cry.

Jennifer wanted to rush down and help her husband but her mum begged her to stay back as Smith instructed.

The beast while sitting on Smith's's chest tried to pull his eyes out of the socket.

Smith stretched his hands towards a kitchen knife that had fallen from the shelve.

The beast saw what he wanted to do it dragged him away from the knife the beast had strength of four men

Smith was also a strong man he fought back holding to the legs of a table he stretched his hands and grabbed the sharp kitchen knife.

He plunged it at the neck of the beast it let out a loud earth shaking growl then sank it's fangs into Smiths's arms

He pulled out the knife and plunged it into its chest.

The beast fell to the ground and was trying to get up

Smith shoved the knife in Deeper and deeper as the beast grunted as it hands fell down beside it

as it went limp

Before Smiths eyes the beast melted and disappeared, all traces of its black blood that had stained the ground

disappeared too.

Smith got up from the ground battered and covered in his blood he could hear a loud bang on the outside door as well as the mewing of a cat a growl of a lion again and again the second beast rammed against the door.

Smith went back to his studies and grabbed his double barrel gun with lots cartridges into a back pack.

and ran upstairs Jenny embraced him she was terrified he was looking all injured and battered.

"Baby you're bleeding we need to get you to the hospital." Smith shook his head.

"No am sorry baby I need to get my family out of here from the howling outside I believe there are more coming or there's one outside ."

He said grabbing Mrs Helen.

"Jennifer just grab some things for the baby I need to take you out of here"

He loaded his short gun and chambered a round

His family wouldn't die under his watch

They headed out as the second beast had climbed the roof top and was screeching and growling pulling out the aluminium roofing trying to get into the house.

Because all doors and windows had been locked up

Smith wondered how he was to escape with his family unharmed.
