Small streams of light sliped through the gaps of the rotten moss covered wood. The air was thick with decay…mold…animals…humans…blood. The sound of nails and chains scratched along the wooden planks beneath his feet. The shack was narrow but long…the streams of light stopped abruptly…leaving a bright line separating from the opaque shadows lying ahead. He bent down at the edge of the light and drew his finger along the blackened floor ahead. Taking his hand up it was red with thick blood…as if it were painted along the ground.
His instincts told him that he should step back outside and wait for backup. However, his natural impulse…wasn’t quite keen on listening. He stepped into the darkness…however with each step he suddenly could hear Blair’s voice in his head chastising him for taking such a risk. Normally he didn’t allow thoughts of Blair to distract him when he was on hunt. He was able to keep his mind clear. He wasn’t sure if it was because this was the first hunt that he had to go on since she had returned…or if it was the recent realization that he actually was going to be a married man in only months.
Either way , now wasn’t the time for it. He slipped his gun out of the holster as he moved further into the darkness. Listening to the creaking of the wind against the wood he moved forward. Looking for the target. However, before he knew it something had gone wrong. A gunshot shifted through the darkness barely missing him. He turned around to see another hunter slipping in behind him. He motioned for the man to back off but he didn’t notice or didn’t care. However, the next few moments the shadows came alive and a dark demonic creature charged out at both of them. Oh Hell! Dammit! Nathan ran back retreating with his weapons firing into the deep darkness moving at him. Taking the creature head on that way was night impossible.
The other hunter fell behind was soon torn to shreds by the angered creature…leaving tar like blood in his trail from the gun wounds that he had taken. Nathan continued firing as he ran…each shot making a hit into the forehead of the creature…more black blood tarry draining from the wound. The creature was soon on top of Nathan…it’s claws coming down on his arm…burning him with a searing pain. With that he took a machete from his belt and caught it under the creatures chin…the head sloughing off to the ground. Nathan blacked out from the pain of the venom that was flowing into his blood.
After a few moment of unconsciousness he slipped himself to his feet…and started towards his car. He didn’t have time for this…he needed to get home for dinner with Blair. He hated it when things became complicated. He grabbed his phone from his dash and made a call to the office before dropping the phone. When his coworkers arrived they rushed him to the witch for healing and an antidote. He was supposed to spend the night under the care of the guild’s physicians, however, he had no intention of being any later to meet with Blair. He grabbed two of the potions that the nurse had left on the table and chugged them down. He then slipped on a new clean shirt in his car before driving home. The man was on the edge of consciousness but he made it to the door and unlocked it…putting on his best face for Blair…the last thing he needed was for her to be worried about anything. AS he opened the door he looked around a bit…it was quiet…but he assumed that she should have been home. “ Babe?” He muttered trying his best not to show any of the strain that he was feeling in his voice. He’d just tell her that it was a long work night…things ran late…and make sure not to let her see the rather large half healed slash down his arm and shoulder before he finished healing up from the potions.
Lay your head upon my shoulder.Lay your hand within my hand.
