Winter had passed the thaw was under way
it had been unusually harsh and cold
stories had circulated the isolated village
of a large furry creäture roaming close by
howls and screams heard late into the night
families huddled together filled with fright!
Nothing like this had happened in living memory
but stories of past legends were still told
as an unknown number of people disappeared
attention turned to one youth in the village
accused of being the cause of those poor souls fate
but without any proof an inconclusive debate!
But other stories said he was not of human origin
some of the young villagers took their revenge
violently dragging the suspect away to lynch him
but none of them strangely were ever seen again
it went quiet then and the area seemed to thrive
a century later that truce ended evil came alive!
A dank oppressive mist came out of nowhere
slowly permeating through village boundaries
as the locals cowered inside their sturdy homes
a figure moved cunningly down the main street
not of human form but a snarling raging beast
the curse returned for revenge and to feast!
His nostrils detected there were humans about
a young couple had ignored the warnings
walking just ahead of the raging creature
it attacked without mercy the young man
adding another to the tally of the cursed beast
yet as he turned on the girl his savagery ceased!
But standing to stare at this monster in her vision
it bowed its head turned and then retreated
covered in the man’s blood feeling connected
calmly she cradled his broken lifeless body
then the heart started to beat strong once again
the legends were true her life would she retain?
Who was the girl who succumb what wad her role
the curse returned what would be the final toll?
The story must continue!
