Ash Terrence lived in the woods by Charlie's house.398Please respect copyright.PENANA6z61vmMoMN

“What are you going to do?” Charlie asked.398Please respect copyright.PENANAp5kBVW1rTe
398Please respect copyright.PENANAaseLLcLL0F
“He's going to know what it's like to beg for his life before he dies,” Carly answered. She didn't sound like herself. She was angry, and with good reason.398Please respect copyright.PENANAadQXGEPpck
398Please respect copyright.PENANA62mJS82fKC
“Easy,” Liam said, putting a hand on her shoulder. His eyes gleamed in the moonlight. He looked at the house. “It's time.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAtd2uYz2DOy

Olivia chuckled and stood next to Carly. She smiled. “Oh, darling. We've been waiting for this moment.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAYfL55kgzsh

Ash had been drinking a beer when the window to his house exploded. A giant dog had come through, the glass raining down on its back. It took Ash a moment, just a moment, to realize the beast before him wasn't a normal dog, but a wolf.398Please respect copyright.PENANAtyzpBQq8oK
398Please respect copyright.PENANA7U0o9V5Z4D
He cowered from his chair, and lodged himself into a tight corner, screaming. When the wolf didn't advance, but changed right in front of him, Ash cried out. The boy smirked, his yellow eyes radiant in the soft glow of the lamp on the side table.398Please respect copyright.PENANAe4gC4cOxhW
398Please respect copyright.PENANAYEqG54miAW
“Hello, Ash,” he said, his voice cold. “I'm sorry for the intrusion, but we need to speak. It's quite important. Also, I have someone here who would like a word with you.” He looked out the broken window. “Come on, darling.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAicpvJZEnJz

Ash tried to control his trembling body, but found it useless under the circumstances. He squeezed his eyes shut, opened them, and shut them again. Again and again. Because there was no way, no fucking way that this was happening. He was either dreaming or severely drunk that he was hallucinating.398Please respect copyright.PENANASflojl6qAs
398Please respect copyright.PENANAyfKTR8P6XK
“You may be drunk,” said the boy, flashing his canines, “but I can promise you, this is real. It's real and now you're going to pay.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAXlwLl2UM8q
398Please respect copyright.PENANAqVLuo903af
“Pay?” Ash said, his eyes wide. He clutched the beer bottle tighter. “Who are you?”398Please respect copyright.PENANACfJ2W6KOrz
398Please respect copyright.PENANARRrPpp15hJ
“My name is Liam,” the stranger said. “And my dear friend Carly would like to discuss something with you.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAdQNXPazcj2
398Please respect copyright.PENANATpg2H6weQU
Ash wanted to ask who he was talking about - he didn't know anyone by the name of Carly. But when the girl stepped over the window frame and into the house with her savaged neck, ripped clothes and blood streaked face,that was when he remembered. The memory tugged at him, forced images.398Please respect copyright.PENANASJhjSDXcJi
398Please respect copyright.PENANACDBNl151j8
She had been crossing the road, and his brain never told him to stop. He was so wasted that he never registered her until his car slammed into her. Her body flew into his windshield.398Please respect copyright.PENANAduj2YiemTy

Once he opened the door, he vomited. Wiping his mouth, he rushed out into the cold to check on her, already fearing the worst. The fog was so thick that he could barely see his hand in front of his face, but when he approached her, he had to will the second round of vomit down.398Please respect copyright.PENANAfcPM45Et3q
398Please respect copyright.PENANAYBTKu5Prle
The girl lay across the hood, her body broken, mangled, and dead. She was dead. He'd killed someone. Her blood was on his hands, he saw, as he looked down. Her blood was all over him. All over his car. He swallowed and lifted her, and then he heard it.398Please respect copyright.PENANAXF6B0wQq1e
398Please respect copyright.PENANAE5weKHH8AQ
The flesh of her neck had gotten caught on something and torn. Blood spraying.398Please respect copyright.PENANAB5V275vXzE
398Please respect copyright.PENANAtekQXYMgca
Holding the dead girl in one arm, he rummaged through her pockets. For her wallet, an ID, anything that would help him know who she was. He needed to know who she was. And then he found it.398Please respect copyright.PENANA1D9TbakOd1

Shoving the wallet into his jeans, he carried her toward a field he'd passed. Dumping her body seemed terribly cruel, but what else was he going to do?398Please respect copyright.PENANAVGrLKAWLcp
398Please respect copyright.PENANA13IqqwppH2
He took out a small knife from his jacket and pressed it to the wound on her neck. Pressed hard and dragged until more of her flesh split.398Please respect copyright.PENANAoNVbytBXhA
398Please respect copyright.PENANABVMIj6d9m7
He stood and waited for another car.398Please respect copyright.PENANAnQqsf4MKah
398Please respect copyright.PENANAgryQbeI5st
He would claim to have found her.398Please respect copyright.PENANAw5xKHR5HaM
398Please respect copyright.PENANALHKlSTG793
Murder, he told himself.398Please respect copyright.PENANADf9jIUifwy
398Please respect copyright.PENANATjMxm1AspG
He was a murderer.398Please respect copyright.PENANAZQZIwC4Lbh
398Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ1Zo62bbd
He would pay for his sins.398Please respect copyright.PENANAmGMWFTY3xX
398Please respect copyright.PENANAXKAUEzfijf
He knew she would come for him one day.398Please respect copyright.PENANAH3yqZWLU8e
398Please respect copyright.PENANAh8XnoIyjrV
“You've come,” he whispered, voice strangled with anguish and fear. “Oh God, I'm so sorry for what I did to you.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAfnNf75OAmm
398Please respect copyright.PENANAuBjJy3sv3S
Carly blinked at him, then her eyes grew glassy, hard. “You should be. Because I wasn't dead when you left me there in that field.”398Please respect copyright.PENANAhvpIuINDsl
398Please respect copyright.PENANAfeD0U4GvVe
Silence filled the air.398Please respect copyright.PENANANznN5iBHtP

“We're here to give you what you deserve,” a new voice said. Female.398Please respect copyright.PENANAfA1IRwyxRR

Before Ash closed his eyes, he saw a boy standing over him. A normal boy. A boy who looked afraid, but determined. Then the pain came. It came from everywhere. It exploded inside of him and he couldn't stop it. He screamed and screamed.398Please respect copyright.PENANANCSfMF48IV
398Please respect copyright.PENANAuR4S5EYfEq
And then he didn't move again. 398Please respect copyright.PENANABu22KHbgln
