'If I have one more person complain that they didn't like their own custom sandwich I am actually going to kill someone, my brother in Christ you made the sandwich'
It was just like any other day for Leon, the same monotonous cycle of waking up, having a bowl of off-brand cereal, walk to his job at Slubway at 2 in the afternoon, work for 8 hours 6 days a week, then he would walk home to lay down on his couch all day with his cat, reading unhealthy amounts of novels, then go to bed to repeat the whole cycle again.
And there was no one for Leon to even hang out with, his coworkers were all self-centered jerks and he was the only one of his small group of high school friends who stayed in his small town instead of going to college elsewhere. The only one who really even cared for him was his big tabby cat Puff, who always liked to stay inside, so there was little reason to go out besides for work and groceries.
As Leon finished his shift and started locking up the store he felt a chill on the back of his neck and turned around, only seeing the trees and shrubbery that were common in this town, but he decided to hurry on home anyway just in case. all sorts of wildlife lived out here and he didn't want to test his luck against whatever could be out there.
While Leon was speedily jogging the short distance to his home he noticed a quick thumping noise and looked to his left, about 30 feet away, running through the trees keeping his pace was some sort of creature he couldn't make out very well, all he really made out was that there were three glowing eyes on the creatures face staring straight at him, causing Leon to break out into a cold sweat and sprint full speed the last few blocks to his home.
When he finally got home after a little less than a minute he ran inside and locked the door, heaving a little as he went to go and get his pistol out of his gun box and go to lock all the other doors to the house, Leon wasn't even fully sure what he saw was real, but better safe than sorry.
as he finished locking all of the doors he just sat in his living room waiting in suspense, the only sound he could hear was his own racing heartbeat, with the suspense only growing until a sudden noise burst it
"Meoowwww" :3
"AGHHHHHHHHHHH"
Leon screamed and looked behind him just to see Puff sitting there, looking at Leon with a tilted head and full eyes the same shade as Leon's own and a large, chubby face.
Leon, sighed and squatted down to give Puff a few pats, which Puff leaned into and purred loud enough to drown out the sound of his heartbeat. He sat down on the floor next to Puff and just took some deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, with Puff just wanting more pets.
He sat like this with Puff for just a minute before Puff started arching his back and hissing towards the window, Leon made sure the safety was off on his pistol before looking towards the window, and when he did he noticed three golden glowing eyes, with silver pupils and where the whites of the eyes should of been was instead a deep, vibrant green. Leon screamed and pointed his gun towards the beast as it immediately ran out of view from the window.
In maybe not the smartest of moves Leon decided to walk toward the window to see if he could find the beast once more, his confidence bolstered by his weapon as he went near the window. He leans towards it and looks at the outside world, barely any natural light out
*Crunch*
"MREOOEWWWW" :{
A deafening boom comes from the front door as Leon turns around and sees the beast grabbing Puff in its massive, drooling jaws. The beast looks at Leon as if it was sneering at him, then goes to sprint away from the front door that it came from
Leon could hardly comprehend it, the beast tricked him, it had baited him towards the window to go and steal Puff, HIS PUFF. With pure rage and determination, he sprints after the beasts and screams
"GIVE HIM BACK"
The beast glances back and runs further, and faster than Leon, so he aims his pistol at the beast and pulls the trigger
*Bang*

hitting it in the chest and causing it to fall over and drop Puff from its teeth, but The Beast tries to stand up again, but all Leon sees is red, so he cocks it back again and fires round after round into its scrawny, starved-looking frame.

Huffing, Leon looks around and can't see Puff anywhere around, and even worse the beast still breathed, and Leon finally got a good look at it.
It appeared to be some strange coyote-like creature, except with patterned fur having the same green, gold, and silver color palette as the eyes, but the fur didn't glow, unlike the eyes. What Leon had originally thought was a third eye was actually a round glowing crystal of sorts, with the same coloration as the eyes. but what he noticed right after was that the bullets appeared to be slowly moving out of the beast, and the beast once again tried to get up, and this time Leon didn't have any bullets, and the beast didn't seem very happy with him. For the first time tonight, Leon wondered if it was a wise decision to chase after the mystical beast with glowing golden eyes.
The beast seemed to be wary of him at the very least though, it didn't seem to know he only had a limited amount of ammo, so it got up and shook, making all of the bullets fall to the ground, with the wounds almost fully healed over by now, it growled and started circling him, until a small noise got both the attention of the beast and Leon.
"HISSS" >:3
Puff was standing right next to Leon, trying to look intimidating, but the beast found Puff looking more like a free meal, it dashed right towards Puff and once again grabbed him before Leon could stop it, but this time Leon grabbed the beast as well, hanging on by the fairly thin neck of the creature, which immediately slowed it down to the pace of a crawl, even though the beast had the ability to regenerate from bullets it didn't seem like it had much strength at the moment. all Leon cared about was getting puff out of the jaws of the foul beast again, and killing it for hurting his cat.
The beast wasn't quite happy about the unwanted rider, so it started rolling around and thrashing, trying to knock away the pesky human and get away with its prey, but Leon wasn't having it. He just held on to the beast's neck tighter, and tighter. The beast started gasping, it spat the unconscious cat from its mouth and started clawing at Leon with its sharpened silver claws, and these claws had much more of an effect than the rolling.
The beast tore the flesh off his back, causing Leon to scream in pain, pain worse than any he had had before, way worse than when he broke his arm falling down in the playground, but Leon was not one to give up, and through tears and blood he squeezed tighter, while the beast only tore and flailed more wildly, tearing off most the flesh from his back and reaching bone, before it started to slow down, it tried to whimper but it couldn't find any breath to whimper with.
The beast continued to twist and twitch until it couldn't anymore, and even as the life left its eyes Leon continued to squeeze and strangle the beast, all the while bleeding out and no longer even conscious, although if he were awake he would have noticed the crystal in the beasts head start to spin and glow brighter and brighter until it pulsed with a blinding light that made a 15 ft wide sphere that swallowed everything within it
