How To Save A Life || my-celestial-keys
Oxygen rushed in through pained lungs as a pair of feet scrambled towards nowhere, running away from an ominous entity that wanted to take the young redhead for its next meal. Heart beating erratically and adrenaline pumping through in absolute panic, she made a sharp turn to escape her pursuer, only to find herself in a dead end. This was bad. Extremely bad.
The black body of the... thing that took after her loomed over the girl, shadows blocking the street lamps and sending the girl's instincts into overdrive. She needed to do something, anything, but it was too late.
Her guardians had warned her about going out on the street at that hour of the night, beasts with tainted souls prowled everywhere when the sun sunk. But she didn't listen that day; there was something else that she needed to do, and here she was now, cornered by a thing that wanted to devour her in a split second.
Moments that were too long for the girl passed, her skin and flesh were horribly mutilated by the creature, before it abruptly stopped and twitched. Something scared it, the girl was sure, because of the sudden whimper and defensive growling it emitted. Not that she cared that it left her there with some breaths left in her; she was dying anyway. Her body grew cold and numb, as her thoughts and sensations became nothing but a huge blur.
God, send me an angel and end this.
