My Bride is Not a Human

With a loud thump, the body dropped, causing an almost deafening crash. The two men stood at the top of the stairs in shock, ready to make a run for it before the person or thing could get to them. With just two big steps the creature swept the men off their feet and the rest was history.

The wailing of police sirens echoed into the night as the men were loaded into separate cars and taken away. They all looked like they had just been eaten limb by limb.

This was something that would surely be written up in the papers, but this was hardly the first time something similar happened. "This doesn't look like it was done by anything human," said a Cop "It looks more like an animalistic attack," said another one, shaking slightly. All three men agreed, but they didn't say so out loud. "What do we do, people are asking questions," Said another cop.

"We keep investigating," said Officer Laura.

"Whatever that has been doing this isn't human for sure, and I'll make sure to find it" Officer Laura stated.

Laura James, a 45-year-old head of the crime unit was a woman with an attitude, who was determined not to let this happen again. She wasn't about to go back on her word, no matter how hard it may be. She knew it would have been easier if these attacks hadn't happened so often, but this was part of life, and she's been dealing with this for quite some time.

"Once the forensic results are out we can know exactly what we're dealing with"

Officer Laura looked up from the pictures taken of the bodies of the two victims.

The bell signaling the end of the history lecture went off.

Diana walked out of the room quickly, eager to get away from Kai who's been talking her ears off since the lecture started. "Wait up Ana" Kai ran after Diana, catching up with her outside "So as I was saying, these new guys are phenomenal" She gushed, grabbing Diana's arm "Apparently they just transferred from their old college to ours... I saw them at the staff office.. ugh hotties" She continued.

Diana rolled her eyes playfully, she loved her best friend, she really did, but sometimes she could be so over the top when it came to her crushes on guys, and she was just going on about it now, which was making Diana want to punch her square in the face.

"Well, I can't wait to meet them if they're all that you've been talking about," Diana said with a forced smile.

"I told you right? they're three in number-"

"Yes, you told me in the middle of history class, you're making my ears bleed. So if you don't mind, can we just go?" Diana asked

"Yes! Okay fine, whatever". Kai gave a small pout, but she soon changed her demeanor and smiled.

"Where are we even going?"

"I don't know, maybe we could sit here," Diana pointed at one of the seats under a large tree.

"So did you watch the news last night?" Asked Kai as they sat down.

"No" Diana shook her head.

"You missed the latest episode of another brutal killing in the woods," Kai said. "They said it isn't anything human," She added.

"That's why Mum wasn't home last night" Diana muttered.

"That's right, have you heard from your mum? She's handling this case, right? She should be very careful, whatever it is, it ain't playing games"

"Yeah," Diana sighed "I hope she's okay though..." She said quietly.
