Pretty Little Monster

Dry-iridescent, haunting mist covered the wild dark forest trees. Heavily muffled and the distant sound of insects chittering could be heard. The dead silence was enough to make it look like a burial ground.

Without any fear in her heart, she stepped towards the core of the howling heartful dark forest. In her hands, she carried an AR10 loaded with top-notch silver bullets.

She smirked knowing she was close and any single mistake from here onwards would cost her, her life. But she was strong-headed and enough cautious to even let a single scratch pass her skin.

She narrowed her eyes and there it was. She saw those blueish and golden eyes, staring at her in agony. She gave off the same vibe. Both remain silent glaring at each other. Her breathing was shuffling but she was calm enough.

It jumped with its full strength to rip off her throat. She was faster though. Her feet shuffled their position. Straightening her back she positioned her gun upwards. Without thinking twice she shot.

It fell down with a loud thud. Its glowing eyes were still filled with the same rage against her but it was now going. Slowly its eyes slept the long journey of the hell.

“Sabrina!” Andrew, her father, shouted approaching her from behind. He was holding the same rifle as hers.

She turned around after making sure the werewolf she shoot was dead. Her face was filled with joy and a loving smile. She was excited for the reward she was going to get now.

“Oh! Not again!” Andrew sighed, looking behind her. The dead werewolf, they were hunting down.

“Yup! I won the bet again.” Sabrina raised her eyebrows, shrugging her shoulders upwards. She was proud of herself.

“Winning three bets in a row is not so good to your father,” Andrew whined as he lost three times. Every time they got a mission. They make bets out of boredom.

“You are just saying that because you lost. Now stop moping off and stay true to your words.” Sabrina playfully punched his shoulder, as they took off on the way back home.

“What?” Andrew started to play dumb. Ignoring what Sabrina was inkling to.

“My reward. Old man, don’t try to play me. I still have a rifle on me.” She in jest warned him. He chuckled and huffed, rolling his eyes.

Soon they reach home. Turning on the lights. He went over his collection of silver arrows and took one of the finest for her, on her demand. He sighed looking at her, watching how excited she was to have them. He handed them over to her.

“You don’t even know how to use them.” Andrew went over to the kitchen to get their dinner. While Sabrina kept admiring her bow and arrows, extremely joyed.

“Well, Papa Pitufu, drilling would make me perfect.” She stuck out her tongue at him, giggling non-stop.

“Stop calling me that!” Andrew shouted as she rushed to her room with the bows and arrows. He deeply hated this name, she gave him out of blue.

“Papa Pitufu!” She shouted from upstairs, slamming her door behind.

“Little brat!” Andrew hissed, warming up the dinner. Washing his hands, he set up the table and waited for Sabrina to come down.

She came down with a huge smile on her face and took her seat. Searching for some food she really likes. She picked out the veggies from the pasta. Making her dad annoyed again.

“Brina, eat everything on your plate. Manners!” Andrew told in a deep serious voice, narrowing his eyes at her. She quietly picked up everything she took out before.

The night passed peacefully. She was a senior in her school. Her not so much concern in her school life made her look more mature than any other kid in the school.

“Brina!” Ryan shouted from the end of the hallway, waving at her excitedly. He left the group of so-called wanna-be queen bees and rushed to Sabrina.

“Your dog barfed again, Ryan?” Sabrina joked, rolling her eyes, keeping her books in the locker.

“No, he is fine. I just wanted to inform you about the mock exam we have today. I was studying the whole night and…” Ryan got interrupted by Sabrina’s shocking shriek.

“Fuck!!” She muttered in pure surprise.

“Seriously, Brina?” Ryan huffed out a long sigh. He knew she forgot again. She is too busy to keep a record of her exams and all shit.

“I was out last night. How can I even know there is an exam when they didn’t even announce it.” She snubbed the facts completely.
