Through the Trees

I hear something in the night, I sense something on the ground.
I feel something in the air, I know something is around.
I stop and listen to the leaves, I can hear the beating of my heart.

The moon light shines through the trees, I see something move about.
I move slowly toward the shape moving through the trees.
I hear desperation and fear, smell sweat in the breeze.

I hear a crack of branch, a painful scream.
I tear away the branch, it falls to its knees.
It turns to see, it screams.
It crawls along the floor, tears whimpering painful wheeze!

I put it out of its misery.

This werewolf needs to feed.
