Chapter 2: The Hunt Begins

Johanna's POV

Breathless, I reached home, my mind reeling. Creatures, monsters, devils? What did I see?

"Mother, Father, I saw something terrible!" I exclaimed.

My parents exchanged skeptical glances.

"You must have had a very bad nightmare, My dear child," Mother soothed.

But I knew what I saw. I'm not going crazy or am I?

Animus' POV

Ossivor returned, her eyes blazing.

"We found the human's trail," she reported.

"Good," I said. "Let the hunt begin."

My Carnifex dispersed, seeking Johanna.

Troy's POV

Another night, another disappearance.

I approached the police station, determined.

"Officer, people are vanishing," I urged.

The officer sighed.

"We're doing what we can, Troy."

But I knew they didn't understand.

The darkness hid something sinister.

I wanted to tell them of what I saw but I knew they'll only play it off on me hallucinating or something like that. I only wished I could do something about it.
