Twixt: The tale of the shadows and wings

Deep in the dark woods, a 10-year-old raced through the tangled trees, panting with fear as tears streaked down her pale face. A sinister voice echoed from the shadows, "You cannot escape, child." A deafening squeak of terror escaped her lips, shattering the eerie silence of the woods. With a thud, she collapsed to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through her ankle as it twisted beneath her weight. The forest, now silent except for her stifled sobs, became the ominous backdrop to a nightmarish ordeal. A silhouette figure stood in front of her in the moonlight. It has a pair of huge wings and horns. As the figure advanced toward the girl with a devil's stride, his face slowly unveiled itself in the eerie moonlight. Blood smeared across his body, droplets of blood dripping from his fangs, and his eyes, horribly dark and scary, locked onto her with a chilling stare. "Brother, I am scared. *Sobs* You look horrible. *sobs hard* You used to love me, never let a scar on my body.....but today I... I .....". As the little girl stuttered in fear, one could almost swear they saw a hint of warmth in his eyes until... An utterly cold voice shattered the silence, "He's dead... your brother is dead. The creature in front of you is no one's brother, son, or whatever. Just a monster." The girl couldn't find words, couldn't stand, just shivered, all sweaty. He roared, "Do you hear me? I ammm jussssst a monnnsterrr." A rush of wind, fangs sank into the girl's neck, and a deafening scream, "Brotttherrr!" Silence followed.
