Adahy

It was a blazing hot summer day in the small town of Thorsby, Alabama. The sun sat in the sky, shining brightly over head. I sat on my porch, looking out over my backyard to the forest. I always get a rush of nostalgia look at it, the memories of playing out there when I was a kid.

I was always chasing rabbits, catching frogs and weird bugs. Then I had those days when I saw " It ", the thing that scared me as a child. I can't remember much of what it looked like, all that I can remember is that my father stopped hunting deer because I would scream and fall in the floor crying whenever he shot a stag. My parents thought it was because I didn't like seeing blood.

I shook my head from the memories.

"It's getting late." I said to myself.

I got out of the old wooden porch swing and sighed, it pained me to not see my father sitting there.

"You and Mom left to soon..."

I went inside and ate some left-overs for supper, after that I watched some T.V for a little while before going to bed.

I awoke the next morning to be greeted by a torn apart garden. I picked up one of the half eaten tomato's and examined it. The bite marks... I couldn't tell if they where human or animal...

"The hell kinda creature did this?" I thought out loud.

I wanted to see what caused this so I set up an old trail cam that I had packed away. I decided that it would be best if I just went on with my day like normal.

I didn't have work today so I thought I could ride down to Clanton, the next town over, it takes about 30 minutes to get there. It was lunch hour by the time I got there, I pulled up in front of a hot dog joint called "3D Dog" and looked in the windows....there was no tables open....

"I wanted Ice Cream anyways..." I said before driving off. I soon arrived at the "Peach park" ( our county is famous for Peaches). As I walked on the little forest path after I ate my Ice cream the sound of screaming from a crowd could be heard up a head.

Wanting to know what happened I run to where all the noise was. My eyes nearly popped out of my skull! An old man lay on the ground with slash marks in his chest, his wife crying beside him.

"Okay everyone stand back!" my head snapped around to see police men and paramedics rushing up to us.

After a few minutes the police started coming out to the people and asking questions.

" Ma'am, can you please describe what you saw?" one asked a lady

" He was standing in front of the swing set....near the forest area, then the next thing I know he is pushed down by some invisable force, I don't really know what happened" the lady said

I walked up to one of the officers " Did the old man say anything?" the officer looked at me kind of weird when I asked him that.

" yes sir, he did......he said "Adahy" " the word sounded strange but familiar.

I thanked the officer for the information and left. the air riding home was strange....like something was fallowing me, I brushed it off as nothing and continued driving.

When I got home I nearly pissed my pants, when I had looked out my back window " IT " was standing there. It had glowing orange eyes, the only thing covering the upper part of his body was fox fur that he wore like a cape. It had a white lions tail. It had wolf ears and dear horns. It's teeth was a mix of human and animal. He wore bloody ripped up jeans. It also had long black claws, and he stood on two legs. The rest of HIM was human.

He gave me a sickening smile before leaving.

The next morning I rushed out to my trail cam to see if it got pictures of him. It was crushed! I was full of rage and fury!

"Even if I hadn't crushed your camera, no one would see me on the photo." a faint voice echo'd in my head.

I kicked the camera.

"I don't have time for this!" I stormed out to my truck and went to work.

The sound of the Clanton high school marching band sounded through the streets as parade floats passed. I smiled, no matter what was going on in my life the peach festival always made me happy. I reached in my pocket for my phone to see that it wasn't there, "Damn, I must have left it in the truck!" I sighed and walked back to the truck.

The walk back was quiet, dark and cold. My footsteps echo'd through the aly-ways. I soon heard the noise of snarling and the sound of an animal running. I snapped my head around just in time to see it charging at me on all! I took off down the roads behind behind the buildings! I didn't care where I was going as long as it got me away from him My feet lead me too the baseball field. A thunder storm crackled over head. It was dark I could hear him circling me, Growling.

It started raining. "Why are you doing this to me!?" I screamed at him

"Why? WHY!? I will tell you why, before I became THIS. I was a loyal brave to my tribe. Then 'you' showed up! Forcing my people out of our homes, killing the innocent and not feeling any guilt for it! I'm doing this for my people and loyalty to my tribe!" He attacked me from behind and pinned me to the ground. I felt his large claws rip open the flesh on my back. he kept doing this until I blacked out.

I woke up in the hospital a few days later with my girlfriend beside me, she had told me about how some animal attacked me. I have seen the monster many times after that. He has made it his mission to make the rest of my life a live nightmare.
