Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Mutilation in Northwood

When I woke up, I reached for Alistair only to find he wasn't there. I noticed a note on my nightstandSorry, had to leave for work early.

-Alistair

Work?! I looked at the clock hanging off the wall. It was only 8 in the morning.I sighed getting out of bed into the empty house.After getting downstairs I had my breakfast which consisted of Cheerios and milk.I decided to go on another hike today since I didn't really have much else to do at the moment.As I walked, I saw a bird, or some-sort of winged creature above me. I couldn't tell what type of bird it was, a crow, a raven? I couldn't tell exactly the species since the sun was blindingly bright.I continued walking, paying no mind to the bird that I had just seen when I heard leaves crunching behind me, definitely not my footsteps I realized. I quickly turned my head around. Nothing appeared to be there. But there were definitely a lot of trees around here. Someone could easily be hiding.No, I was being paranoid, there was no one behind me, no one was following me end of story.Suddenly I heard a scream coming from the oposite direction from where I was walking. Oh my god, what the fuck was that?! I didn't want to go towards whatever it was, but someone could have fallen and have gotten seriously hurt.I ran towards the direction I heard a scream. I began to believe that I had imagined it or something when I someone laying down seemingly taking a nap. A human by the looks of it, its back facing me. Well that was weird as hell. No one would just sleep in the woods like that, there was a camping sight just a couple miles to the east. As I got close enough, I saw what had really happened.I screamed, OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT HAD HAPPENED?! The humans gut seemed to have been ripped open. Its innards spilled out across the dirt. And this had just happened like 30 fucking seconds ago.I looked around, there was a fucking killed out here. I sprinted, I didn't even know what direction I was running in, tears running down my cheeks. After I had ran for 30 seconds and I was out of breath and sobbing, I called the police.I didn't wait for them to say anything. "Help me!!!" I screamed. "Someone died, a-a-and I d-don't know what the hell i-i-is," I couldn't even get anymore words out, I was crying very badly."We're on our way, stay where you are!" said the officer on the phone.
