9:00 pm , the wall clock resonated in the silence of the night. The chime seemed to grow louder by each passing second.
Huffing and panting sounds threw colour in the blank canvas of silence. A man gripped his family as the mother put her hand on the mouth of her child. They seemed to be extremely terrified of something. The something was a large and towering shadow looming on over the window with it's red eyes slowly coming into view.
The shattered pieces of glass flew in towards the family as the woman lunged towards the girl shielding the blow. A large skeletal hand grabbed the man by his head and tossed him in it's mouth.
The towering withered and skeletal humanoid creature made a sickening crunching sound from it's mouth.The ghastly red eyes glowed with a sign of life as blood poured down from the jaws as the creature screamed in ecstasy and delight.
The woman gasped for air as blood trickled down her mouth. She coughed up blood .
A wooden plank had pierced her stomach as she drew her last breath. Her body slumped on to the floor as the girl fainted from shock.
The view of the city was devastating as streaks of fire spread across the city. Towering figures treaded across the land scape causing destruction in their path. Smoke rose through buildings as shadowy figures flew through the sky.
Jeb looked at the scene with dread and shock. His body went numb from disbelief as his world went into disarray.
Just a few hours ago, the city seemed lively and peaceful. Children coming home from school, teenagers going on a date, fans cheering for their team on the stadium.
But, now everything had changed.
Tears trickled down Jeb's lifeless eyes as he walked ahead. He had one thing going on his head , Is my family okay?
He reached his crumbling and destroyed house and went inside. The cold and lifeless body of his mother made him stop and drop to his knees.
He neither cried nor sulked. He blankly stared at the body unable to process the situation. His mind went back to reality as he saw his sister lying by the side.
He quickly rushed to her side and took her into his arms. He bolted outside the premise . The door slam caused the creatures to be notified of their presence.
A sharp and a piercing shriek tore through the air-keen as a blade and lowd enough to rattle bones. The sound was capable of drilling into the skull. The sound sent shivers down Jeb's spine as he halted to a freezing stop.
He quickly turned around and saw the towering creature lunging towards him with it's jaws open as saliva slid from it's mouth in a glittering strand.
Jeb reached out his hand in desperation as his subconscious went into adrenaline mode.
A small ring tattoo glowed blue on his palm as something incredible happened.
As if the fabric of space ripped apart and a small crack formed causing the creature went into the crack.
