A/N: As usual, I would recommend putting the video on loop.

The creature had changed into his old clothes and had stretched his limbs after his little helper had left. He had heard her conversation with her parents, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. Rather, he had been focusing on where to sleep. Her bed had been his original plan, but that had been snuffed with the workers later on.

He had left through the window, resisting the urge to eat something before he had headed out. The creature had landed in the bush beneath her window and had noticed the dried blood on the some of the leaves and at the base of the bush. No other crimson had gotten anywhere else outside of the house since it had mainly stained his clothes. Not bothering to clean it up since it was still well hidden, he had headed into the cemetery and had picked up the locking picking gear from the one mausoleum.

Choosing a mausoleum in the oldest section of the area, he had decided to rest there for the day. Once he had the lock picked, he had made his way inside and had closed the door behind him. There had been no comfortable bed, but he had slept on stone floors in the recent and distant past.

Originally, his plan had been to sleep for the whole day, but even that had changed on him. He had forgotten that there would really only be one day with lessened security. His plan to lure them out into the woods while he had sneaked into the funeral home grounds had been a success, but the police would've figured out by the next day that he wasn't going to be at that location. They might leave some forces there, but security would increase to its regular amount at the funeral home if not more. When he had heard a voice outside of the mausoleum, he had woken up and hid.

"Why is this unlocked?" the policewoman asked quietly. She knew that Mr. and Mrs. (L/n) had placed brand new locks on all of the mausoleums, and they were supposed to be difficult to unlock without the key. Someone skilled must've broken in. The woman had heard soft footfalls inside, however, and she went on alert.

She had been hoping that she wouldn't run into anything on the grounds when she had been given the assignment since she knew that she couldn't handle the creature on her own. Maybe, it was simply a skilled robber. That she could take care of. Being extra cautious, though, she called for backup. If it was the creature, she would severely need it.

Staying outside of the building, her heart pounded. It had gone silent inside, but she didn't dare open the door. Soon, her partner and the other security forces would be at the location. If the creature was inside, the chief's hunch that the creature had found Ms. (L/n)'s home would be correct.

To be safe, she backed away from the building some and had her hands near her utility belt. If it was a robber, she would go for her taser if they weren't willing to cooperate, but if it was the creature, she would grab her gun in a heartbeat. That thing was a menace, and it needed to be dealt with.

Thankfully, it was daylight, and there were few clouds in the sky. If the thing was in there and it tried to get out, it would be met with quite an unfortunate situation for itself. Her attention turned to the sound of running footsteps and crushing snow.

"Ellice!" her partner, Lionel, called as though he had been expecting her to be dead already. After what he had seen in the tunnels, he hadn't expected the creature to be patient if he was in that structure. "Thank goodness. I was worried." She gave him an understanding nod. "You said that you heard soft footfalls inside."

"Yes, and that's one of the traits that Ms. (L/n) had mentioned when she was back in the hospital." She looked back to the building. "Part of me doesn't want the creature to be in there because I don't want to have to fight that thing, but I also want to take it down. Nights here have never been so terrifying, and now Dean Nexem is missing too."

"I think that we both know what happened to him, and I think that his father knows as well." Lionel glanced to the structure and prepared himself as well for a fight. Several other security forces stood behind them. Some were tenser than others. "Let's head in."

Ellice agreed, and they both slowly advanced. Neither opened the door carefully. Rather, they kicked the doors open and jumped back. Light flooded into the place, but nothing leaped out at them. Specks of dust could be seen floating in the air while four stone coffins lay inside. None of the lids were moved, and if they had been, Ellice would've heard the sound beforehand.

Both knew that whoever was in the mausoleum had to be behind one of the coffins. They were the only hiding places in the building. The partners steadily advanced inside while two more guards followed after them. Four guards waited outside.

Reaching the first two coffins, they focused their flashlights behind them, but they found nothing. They took careful steps towards the next two and did the same. Again, there was nothing hiding. Confused, they all glanced up and around the place. Ellice looked above the entrance doors and saw that there was a small shelf area. It was big enough that someone could realistically sit up there. Two columns were on the either side of the shelf, and it looked like there was a space behind each of them.

Lifting her flashlight up, she searched the area. When she couldn't see the entire space from her angle, she moved hesitantly closer. Behind the right column, her flashlight caught something. It seemed to be someone curled up into a sitting position. Her heart raced, and her flashlight went higher as her partner noticed her stare.

A hoodie covered the figure's face. "Come out of there and state your name." She couldn't tell if it was the creature or not. Her description of the creature's clothes didn't fit what the individual was wearing. It was most likely the creature since it was unlikely that any human could get way up there, but she didn't shoot immediately since she wasn't a hundred percent certain.

Everyone's attention turned onto the figure. Slowly, the individual emerged. Hands were in the hoodie's pockets while the hood covered their face. All of them could tell that the person was very pale, though. The individual's skin almost reminded them of the snow outside.

Stepping completely out, they saw that the figure bore no shoes. Before they could do anything, the individual jumped down and landed perfectly. "Remove your hands from your pockets," she called out, hand tight on her flashlight. A giggle was her answer, and Lionel pointed his gun at the figure. "Remove your hands now!" she raised her voice, taking several steps back.

"Are you sure that you want that, officer?" the figure asked, giggling more.

Freezing, she watched the figure's head lift up. Human teeth grinned at her, and she held the flashlight directly on the individual's face. The cowl protected their eyes, however. Before she could react, hands flew out of the pockets and towards the doors. They slammed shut before the figure, no the creature, took off outside. Yells followed, and the other security forces chased after the thing.

Lionel charged forward and threw open the doors. Ellice and everyone else followed after before they all ran for the creature. Shots fired up ahead, and Ellice called for more backup. "We need forces to head into the woods on the east side of town and cut the creature off from the south." She focused on running afterwards and caught up to Lionel. The snow slowed them down significantly while it had little to no effect on the creature.

Crimson decorated white up ahead, and she hoped that was the creature's blood. Unfortunately, it wasn't. She looked away from the grisly scene and continued on. There was more crimson up ahead, and she stopped. Lionel halted as well as the other two. All of the four other guards had now been killed. The last three were farther into the woods, and their deaths were the same as the first.

"It's pretty rude to call so many for only one target." They glanced around and had their guns at the ready. Several giggles followed. "Though, maybe, don't say it out loud next time. I now know where to avoid." Ellice pinpointed the voice to be behind the tree next to her. She sharply turned and distanced herself from it.

Walking out from behind the tree, the creature locked his gaze onto her. Shots fired, and blood dripped. Crimson decorated Ellice's neck as nails tapped against it. The wound in the creature's hand was healing before her eyes. Its other hand wrapped around her waist and pressed her close to him. "Now, why don't you lower your weapons and keep them there, or I'll kill her unless you don't care about her."

About to say something, Ellice stopped as the nails pressed closer to her skin. "Shh, you don't need to talk right now." The creature's lips ghosted over her ear, and his teeth rested on the flesh. A giggle left him. "But, you might scream. I'm pretty hungry right now, and you disturbed my sleep." All guns rose again, but he felt no threat.

Teeth latched on her ear before she let out a piercing cry. The creature threw her towards the tree to his left and knocked her out. He ran behind trees again while more shots went after him. He had been hit four times from before, but the bullets had all gone through, and his flesh was healing.

Running over to his partner, Lionel crouched down and frowned at seeing a chunk of her top ear missing. The other two stayed close, and shots didn't stop. Giggles surrounded them before the shots fell silent. Terrified and worried, he glanced behind him to see the two dead. Five puncture wounds were in each of their chests.
