The beast pointed toward the mansion with his long, claw like finger. Eva bolted toward the house. The scent of her daughter floated heavily in the cool, spring air. She was so near that she could almost taste her.
As she drew closer to the house, she slowed. She had to be careful now. She didn't want to screw up the entire thing now that she was so close. In just a few short moments, she would have her prey.
