After eliminating my last opponents, I continued passing down the path. Although stopped. A poster caught the corner of my eye. I glanced over it. Advertising.. A demon hunter? Normally I'd laugh at these kinds of things, but the man's serious expression and determination worried me. From now on, I'd have to keep my wits about. After all I am a demon fox.
Discreetly I crept now off from the path and through the woodland. This way I could hear opponents coming before being spotted and not noticed by this apposed demon hunter. Quickly I darted through the woodland. Then a gurgling noise. My stomach. I looked down as it rumbled once more. I couldn't sneak with an empty stomach, as it'd drain my energy and make me noticeable.
Then I crept round the woods looking for some berries. None. Crap. Stomach growled again. In the corner of my eye I noticed a village. In a village there's bound to be either a market or a house I can steal food from. Darting along walls of buildings I looked for a market. None. Then again, where are all the people?
Noticing the lack of life I jumped down into the centre of town and listened around. Not one movement. Then I started knocking on doors and shouting. "Hello? Hello!" I called. No reply. Odd, I thought, considering this was rather a large village. Frustrated I then continuously rammed my body into the door. Over and over until I broke through.
Finally I did, but what my eyes lied on wasn't what I wanted. Not at all. A family of five. Two parents, two children and a baby all lied on the floor. All with injuries. All horrific and torturous. Covered in blood. Dead. I blinked. Admittedly I had killed several men, but what had an innocent family done to deserve this? Slowly I backed up, shocked and dizzy. I held my head until I felt someone land on the ground before me. Slowly I looked up and my eyes met a new stranger. A wicked smile across his face, he put his weapon to my neck. "Oh." he chuckled. "It seems I missed someone."
