"PlEASE DON"T COME ANY CLOSER!!" the girl screaming towards the man with a distorted smile and sword

"NONONONONO I don't want to die, IDONTWANTTODIE, IDONTWANTTO...."

*Schick" the sword flashes across her field of vision...

"NOOOO...." Suddenly the girls eyes shoot open and screams. She's gasping for breath, feeling cold sweats all over her while looking around, but can't as their is a heavy object laying on top of her. 

"Hah hahhah...Wha....What's going on? Didn't I die?! Wait... Where's LUNA?!! LUNAAAA?!!!" The girl starts pushing frantically pushing the object off, but couldn't as she was too weak. This girl is none other than Marissa, confused and upset to what's happened to her as her memories are still being recollected. She starts tear up as she remembered what happened to her family, Luna, and herself. Very sad and thankful Luna saved her life!

*THUMP* 

Finally rolling the object off her, she noticed it was Luna's corpse, but it was already decomposing. She let out a sad sigh and then let on a fierce expression as she gritted her teeth. She tried to stand up, but it felt like like there was something pulling and it was uncomfortable. She started to have a bad itch on her neck, chest, stomach, and legs. What she noticed were bloody red vine like tubes connecting her to Luna's corpse. She  was horrified and immediately started pulling them out, skin and all.

"UGH.....IT HURTS" She said finally pulling the rest off. 

Noticing there wasn't much bleeding she started to inspect her wounds and noticed they were already healing! She was dumbfounded and started fiddling around with her body and noticed many things! Her wounds were healing, she had claws for her finger and toe nails, and she could see in the dark!!! 

"this.."  As if thinking of something, she crawled to a nearby puddle to look at herself. Once she looked, she was further dumbfounded and terrified. She had white hair with a slight red that looked veins intertwined. Her eyes were white with red mixed in her pupils, she was not human, not anymore....

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"What happened to me... Why am I like this?!" She realized that she couldn't even go back out into the publics eyes. She would be killed by the church immediately. She became the very enemy churches hate the most, a crypt....

"Hahahah... No they labeled my family and I heretics first for not being to afford their outrageous taxes." Overcoming her fear over the fact that the very same church turned her into this. The more she thought about it, the more twisted and disturbing her face became. The glint in her eyes, coupled with the darkness made her seem like a creature straight from the abyss.

"Haha, I'll definitely..." she spoke out her thoughts as she was getting up to survey the deep crevice to try to get out. As she was looking around, she heard something something crawling a little bit away from her. She started walking toward the noise and upon arriving a distance away, she saw a rat scavenging for food. Her stomach started growling, as if she was taken over by a growling stomach, she inched slowly, not to alarm the rat. As she got close enough...she swiped at the rat, catching it and biting its throat in one fluid motion. It tasted so good as she pulled out tendons and muscles as she chewed and swollowed  it all without leaving anything else behind. It was surprising how she turned savage from hunger which means she has no means to control herself from beastly tendencies.

"I need to get out of here..No I have to get out of here!" She started to investigating where the rat came from before discovering a small hole located behind a somewhat large boulder. Putting her ear next to the hole, she could feel air and smell as well. Growing excited, she started pushing the boulder, slowly pushing it. "What Strength!?" Surprised by the amount of strength she possessed!

*RUMBLE*RUMBLE*     *CRASH*

The boulder was finally pushed out of the way after a few hours. She was hungry again, so before leaving, she captured more rats and ate them. After eating, Marissa focused her sights on the hole, she could try to climb, but it's not worth the risk. It wasn't very large, so it required some digging, luckily she had claws!

"At least these are good for something, hah" Marissa jokingly said

***********

In a dark forest, you could hear the wind whistling with leaves, while rain poured down, and thunder peeled in the distance. As the lightning danced in the sky, you could see, in a small petrusion of a mountainside: there was someone wiggling their way out of a narrow crevice.

"Phew, I'm finally out after two days. I was getting sick of rats" Marissa said as she looked around.

"I think it's time to pay a visit to some old friends..." she said with a fierce smiling expression while showing her canines....
