As she stopped to catch her breath, she looked behind, her eyes wide in terror.904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNygFLNMLJ
Someone was chasing her. Its heavy panting can be heard loudly through the walls of the silent city. She can hear footsteps, scratching sound from the ground. Horrific, indeed.904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjfKHzBhkw
The round shape of the moon didn't help at all. Its glimmering light created such a creepy effect, a thing she surely didn't like. It made her think about her grandfather's stories. He'd once told her that creatures from the dark are the scariest. They roam around the streets at night, looking for what they wish to eat. Manananggal, as they call it. The manananggal of the Philippines is known for having large wings and for being able to detach (“remove”) the upper half of its body, from the waist up. The thought of it terrified her.904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU15TwOFE8
She had to run. She must run. She need to. She could hear him now.
“Miss, wait up!” she heard him say. She ran as fast as she could. But no matter how hard she tried, she ran out of breath. In just a span of seconds, the one chasing her caught up.904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIRDyGYbsO
“Hey,miss!” He held her by the shoulder.
“Aaahh!” she screamed. “Don't hurt me!”
“Hey, miss!” he said. “Calm down! I'm not going to hurt you!”904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqganUEOzY5
Although panting, she caught her breath. “Then, why are you chasing me?”
“Because...” he started off, looking into dark where they started running. “You left half of your body there. How will you get back home?”904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPh4Qh7kU3
