A dozen miles from Urfa, in an ancient city south-eastern Turkey, where massive carved stone pillars tens of thousands of years old are arranged to form a temple. When seen from above, the dozens of massive pillars form a circular formation used for worship.

Numerous ancient carvings of images of prehistoric creatures and symbols of old can be vaguely seen on the surface of these multiple stone pillars emitting an aura of ancientness that modern researchers and archaeologists can barely begin to understand.

This ancient temple has been named as Gobekli Tepe or “Potbelly Hill”, it is said that the meteor that struck the Earth around 11,000BC, which caused the devastating event that wiped out woolly mammoths and other prehistoric creatures as well as sparked the rise of civilisations has a deep connection with this ancient temple.

..

Within a certain night of a full moon, its dim cold light showered this ancient temple once again. Unknown to anyone, on the surface of the giant stone pillars uncountable number of mysterious runes began appearing while covered in an eerie red light the color of blood. Ever so slowly, the glow of the mysterious runes started getting brighter until it began to once again dim until it disappeared completely with the coming of sunrise.

Unbeknownst to anyone, this strange event has been continuously occurring for more than ten thousand years on every full moon. After accumulating the energy from the moon light, the seal was finally waning thin, as the mysterious runes have already started appearing visible to the human eye.

What no one knew was that this ancient temple was made to seal and trap a great evil that fell from the sky, a great evil that no man or beast could ever hope to survive from, a supreme predator.

..

During this time, a group of people where running non-stop towards the temple. This group consist of about ten people altogether with most of them seeming to be in their middle-ages, the one leading this group is a young man, no more than 15 years old. This group appears very weird at this time of the night to be running towards an ancient temple, especially when the one leading is a 15-year-old boy. Upon closer inspection, the 15-year-old boy has beads of sweat pouring out from his body with a look of panic and terror on his face, while the group of people behind him all have a look of fury with a murderous glint on their eyes as they chased after him.

…

This all began when he decided to sneak out of the hotel in Urfa where his class was staying at for their field trip to the temple. The class was supposed to go visit the site of the ancient temple Göbekli Tepe the next day for an educational visit.

“Cheh! Why did I even agree to come here in this shitty place. I don’t even go to church, why would I want to explore some old dusty temple.”

In the first place, he wasn’t even part of the same class who were going on the field trip, it was only because they needed to fill in the spaces for the student participating in the trip since one of the original members where unable to come for some reason, so he was given the position as the school didn’t want to have the plane ticket and reservation wasted.

“Oh well, at least I don’t have to listen to the teachers annoying lectures in class for a few days.” He sighed in comfort at the thought of not having to sit down and listen to class for hours on top of hours.

After sneaking out from the hotel and exploring the city out of boredom, he unknowingly stepped through a dark alley after wandering around aimlessly for the past 30 minutes. As he got deeper into the alleyways he began hearing sounds of flowing liquid and inaudible mumbles a small distance from where he walked.

Attracted by the noise, he paused in his steps after a second of thought as his curiosity piqued from the effects of his boredom. He slowly followed the source of the sound as it got clearer and more distinct, it sounded as if a group of people where having a conversation in the alley.

As soon as he turned through the corner and saw what the source of the noise was, he drew in a cold breath as his footsteps came in to a halt and stepped back to hide back behind the corner with fear showing on his eyes.

His sudden halt and hurried steps attracted the group of people in the alley as they all stopped with their discussion and turned to face his direction with wary eyes and a fierce gaze. Not far behind them can be seen a body of a person lying facedown on the ground with blood flowing profusely, the way the body stayed still unmoving without breathing implied the person has died.

The boy body trembled nonstop as the image of the person lying on the ground stuck to his mind while he tried his best to hold in his breath and to not scream, he might not be smart but from the movies he watched he can guess this group of people aren’t kind enough to let him live after what he just saw.

“Fuck! What… what do I do… there’s a dead body!! Shit! Shit! Am I gonna die too?! Did.. did they see me?! I need to get away from here!”

He tried to calm himself down and prepared to slowly back away trying not to make a single sound and escape the alley, but just as he was thinking of whether or not they saw or heard him, footsteps started sounding from the corner where the group of people where.

The group of people clad in black warily moved towards him as they heard his footsteps coming closer earlier suddenly stop, they slowly turned the corner with their knives ready.

When the group of people finally turned the corner saw him, a young boy trembling nonstop with tears on his eyes they finally calmed down. One of the group, a man in his 40s launched his knife towards the boy in an attempt to permanently silence him. Just as the man was about to make contact, one of the women in the group stopped the blade just before it stabbed through the boy.

Before the man could question her actions, the woman interrupted her with a whisper “Don’t be too rash, one body is hard enough to clean. It’s just a little boy, let’s just take him somewhere remote and finish the job there where it’s easier to clean up.”

“I agree with her. We don’t have time to clean and destroy the evidence for two bodies here.” Chimed in another man in the group who appears to be the leader with that authorative look his eyes gives off.

While the group where talking amongst themselves, the boy fainted from fear after hearing the contents of their conversations and their plan for him. The stress and trauma from seeing a dead body while being surrounded by the murderers as they discussed how to kill you is not something a young boy like him could take in.

Seeing how the boy they caught just fainted on the stop, the group silently carried his unconscious body in their vehicle and drove off as soon as they finished cleaning the scene and destroying evidence that could lead back to them.
