She ran through the street at the stroke of midnight. Not knowing what she was running from, and less sure of where she was running to. Then it caught up to her. A shadowy figure which had been stalking her in the parking lot. A demon which had literally came out of the shadows, and had been following her ever since her car broke down. Waiting for the right moment to strike. Like a predator on its prey. Luckily, the woman had spotted it sooner, and ran in fear of her life. But unfortunately, she now had found herself in a stalemate situation. The demon had her cornered in an alleyway.
'Help!' She screamed. But no one could hear her. The demon had her in its clutches.
Wrapping its cold hands around her neck, placing his pale white skin on her own and hypnotizing her with its blood red eyes. As this creature was about to run its fangs into her neck, a man jumped down from the roof and into the alleyway. This man wore a black hood which almost completely concealed his face, and he held a wooden stake in his right hand. His skin was just as pale and cold as the demon's, and his eyes just as red. He pulled the demon off the woman, pinned him against the wall and drove the stake into his heart.
'You're safe now.' He said, right before the woman ran out of the alleyway.
He then retreated into the shadows from once he came.
