I looked around, trying to be quiet. Everything was silent, my heavy breathing being the loudest thing around. This corner wouldn't be safe for long. However, I had no other options. Everything was heavy. I needed to sleep.

As I started to allow myself to drift off, something else was heard. I froze, quieting my breathing.

The clattering of spikes. No.

I looked around my room, seeing only one enterance. Where the sound was coming from. 

No. NO. They can't find me.... PLEASE NO.

However, it seemed luck wasn't in my favor. Their shadow loomed in the doorway. They weren't human. 

How....? What was this place? What happened to me?

" Oh, are you hiding.... how sweet. You think you can hide from me?! Maybe you should of found a way to erase your need to breathe sweetheart, because that's loud and clear."

I looked down, trying to stop my breathing. 

No. NO NO NO. 

I looked up a bit, immediately regretting my decision. 

I screeched loudly, those light grey eyes flinching and backing up as a growl escaped from them.

" Great, a stupid Banshee....."  their growl made me freeze, a mistake as they quickly grabbed me, their hands distorted.

 They pulled me from my hiding spot, their hand over my mouth to prevent me from screaming. Their glare only held malice as a wicked grin formed on their face.

" You're easily the oldest I've seen around here. So you've been quite successful in avoiding me. Too bad that ends now."  The sharp pain in my jaw distracted me from anything else that this monster said.

It hurt so bad, their claw like nails digging in with no intent of stopping. Blood is running down my face. It hurts sooo bad. WHY WON'T THEY STOP?!

Their cries were so pathetic. A banshee? What a joke of one....
