Chapter 2

“You seem really scared” I say, staring at her horrified eyes, blankly. “I saw it!” She whispers. It isn’t often that I get a random visiter telling me that they have seen something and not telling me what. A storm was starting to brew outside and the girl, so called Luna, hides her head underneath my pillow. “Alright, I will help you.” I say finally and she looks up at me with bright eyes. The girl thanks me and walks to the hotel door and locked it.

The next day, Luna woke me by shaking my shoulders and shouting muffled words that I couldn’t make out while being half asleep. She grabs my arm and runs to the door of the hotel. She explains that she wants to explore the beach. I nodded my head, I mean, what else could I do? She would only argue until she got what she wanted. 

Before long, we were at the sea front but grey clouds were billowing overhead. “Should we go ba…” My voice trailed off and I stopped in my tracks. A shadow was moving in the distance across the sand. I blinked, unsure what I had just seen. It was gone. “Should we go now?” I manage to splutter while my heart thumped as loud as a jet engine. Suddenly, an ear-splitting howl fills the air and me and Luna exchange anxious glances. The shadow was now approaching us. A thick mist had fallen and all we could see was two yellow eyes, moving closer… and closer.
