Anny heard a shrill in the distance on her path. She instantly looked up from her phone, and glanced to the West. She didn't know where it came from, but knew it came from the same direction as she was going to meet Yuki and began to worry. She told her to meet her in the field, what if something got there first.
She began to run. Closer and closer, until she spotted Yuki swinging in a playground area. So it wasn't her. Anny looked around and ran to Yuki, "What the hell was that?"
"I'm not sure, I wasn't paying attention."

Suddenly they heard a small shrek come from the woods, and Anny ran towards it.
There they spotted a girl sitting alone in the darkness, covered in mud. She had a look of horror painted across her face.
"What's wrong?" Anny asked frightened but trying to find out what was going on.
"There." One word. The only thing the girl uttered as a breath between her spasms of silent shaking.  Anny was scared. She heard Yuki creep closer to where the girl had pointed.
The air was tainted with copper. Blood. She knew, something was wrong, if only her eyes would adjust. If she would feed more often this wouldn't be a problem. She felt more human than ever in that moment.
