Years before it all began...
Annah was an adorable 5 years old girl who was going to turn six soon. She was super excited about whatever gift the nuns at St Patrick orphanage had prepared for her.
Her chestnut hair was scattered all over the white pillow as her pinkish lips formed a cute yawn and her eyes fluttered in attempts to fight off the drowsiness.
She really wanted Sister Shannon to read another bedtime story for her, but unfortunately, sleep had gotten the best of her.
The night was so quiet, too silent Which was unusual..
The unusual thick darkness felt like a heavy mist which surrounded Annah. She’d woken up when she felt a cold hand touch her legs. She tried to brush it away and go back to sleep, taking it all as a dream.
However, the hold on her legs tightened up and only after that her eyes flew open. She looked down at her legs, and eyes as red as blood graced her sight..
In an instant, a cold chill started creeping up her body. That ‘thing’ with red eyes was crawling on top of her.
A hollow with sharp teeth replaced its mouth around it.
Its chilly hands were moving from her legs and upwards towards her neck with the intention of strangling her.
His cold breath fanned her face leaving the poor girl petrified.
Annah was so terrified she couldn’t bring herself to breathe properly let alone scream for help, her entire body was trembling uncontrollably.
The air was sucked from her lungs leaving her breathless. She was too young to understand what was happening, yet her body began convulsing, trying to kick this ‘creepy thing’ off.
Just when her vision turned blurry feeling the darkness threatening to pull her in, the door pushed open.
“Stop!” A man with white hair ordered with a pitch gruff voice. And the red eyed creature immediately freed her and jerked away.
Annah took the opportunity to breathe air as her body collapsed to the floor in pain.
“Sister…'' She managed to call out for the nun who was taking care of her.
“Sister..” She called out again while sobbing but her voice was barely a whisper.
Annah raised her head to stare at the man who was standing at the doorstep. He was clad in a long trench coat and a black shirt alongside ripped jeans.
His long white hair was tied at his nape.
His smile was so vicious, showing his elongated canines from his gums.
And this scared the shit outta little Annah. She gasped loudly before bursting into tears. Who were these men? Where was sister Shannon? She was so scared.
“She's dead…” The red haired man took the liberty to inform the little girl of what he'd done to the human…
“No!” Annah screamed out loud and this got the man irritated…
“Shut the f*ck up!” The white haired man snarled, yet it only scared the little girl more outta her wits.
“Sister!” Annah couldn’t stop calling for Shannon, hoping someone could save her.
“SHUT UP!!” The white haired man roared angrily and smashed his hand right into the drawer beside him, shattered into pieces.
Terrified by that, the little girl crawled backwards towards her bed, cowering under the bed fearfully.
At that moment right there before her eyes, the red eyed creature began to transform.
With a grunt, its body shook strangely as its long cold fingers shrunk into a normal human size.
The hollow on his face was replaced with lips that curled into a smirk when he turned in a shirtless human.
The only thing that remained the same was his awfully red eyes.
“Why did you stop me?” The red eyed creature asked as he intentionally sat on the bed and caused a dip down by weight, which made Annah, who was crouching under it, flinch in fear..
“She’s the one with the pure blood.” The red eyed creature said with a smirk.
“How do you know it’s her?” The white haired man asked and narrowed his eyes dangerously at the red-eyed man, who shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
“She’s able to see me when I shift..” The red-eyed man shrugged as he spoke.
