Demon Hunter
The Beginning
Prologue
A young woman walked down the dark empty hallway. The wooden floor creaked under her as she took another step down. She stopped walking for a moment and stared at an old picture of hers on the wooden wall. She stared at as if she was lost in thought. " Vincent where are you" she said to herself. She touched his face on the picture and slowly backed away from it. She forced herself to turn around and saw a pair of red eyes staring at her. She squinted at first and thought that maybe she was seeing things but the eyes never faded. They only stared at her from the opposite side of the hallway. Eerie words filled the hallway as the demonic red eyes spoke. "Are you afraid of death little girl?" Laughter filled the hallway and echoed all around her.
" What do you want?" The eyes in front of the woman vanished and all was silent once again. She sighed in relief and fell down to her knees. " Why does this keep happening to me?" She put her head tried her best not to cry. Tears rolled down her soft pale cheeks as she raised her head and stared down the dark hallway. When she turned around to head back to her room she saw the dark red eyes again. Only this time they were right in front of her. She turned to run but couldn't move. She cried out but it did her no good. " Aren't you having a good time Karen?" Karen tried her best to move but was still frozen in place. " How does it feel to now you're only a few seconds away from death?" Karen screamed hysterically and tried her best to move. She could hear distant voices growing closer to her. The demon released Karen and vanished in thin air.
It was as if nothing had ever happened. Karen glanced around the hallway before she dared to move. Was it really gone this time. Straight ahead of Karen was a small mob of people running towards her. She slowly started to walk towards them. Before they could reach her she fell down and hit her head against the wooden wall. " Karen!" " Karen are you okay!" One of the older men knelt down beside Karen and gently helped her sit up. " Karen... what happened to you. Who did this!" Karen, still confused on what really happened stared blankly at the old man. " Didn't you see it Sam?" " See what Karen there's nothing here." " Why were you screaming?" " The demon... it was here. It tried to kill me again."
A few people in the crowd moaned and walked away from her. " I told you that she was crazy. That damn girl is nothing but trouble." Sam sighed in disappointment and said," I thought something actually happened to you this time Karen." Sam helped Karen stand up and escorted her back to her room. " Get some sleep rest. You should feel better in the morning. Same made sure Karen was in bed before he left. After she heard the door close she got back up. The same demonic voice from the hallway laughed at Karen as she cried. " Did you think for one second that they actually believed you? Even I thought you were crazy." Karen turned on the lamp next to the bed and sighed. She stood up and walked to the other side of the room. " I know what I have to do but can I do it" she said to herself.
Karen opened the top drawer and pulled out a black notebook. She slowly opened the book and started to search for Vincent's number.
