[Auspicious Happenings]

Scarlett had managed to get a hold of a tree trunk and was currently hanging on for her dear life.
"Let me go!" she screamed, attempting to kick away her attacker.
Though, it would have been more accurate to just admit that her attacker was a monster... Because it was.
Whatever had been attempting to drag her off to who knows where had no defining facial features whatsoever, except for two blackened holes where eyes should have been.
It was tall and bone thin, with hands that were nearly all long, hard fingers.
It was the color of alabaster, and made a slight clicking noise when it moved.
Just thinking about it gave her the chills.
As it tugged at her ankle, she attempted to kick it away with her free leg, landing a solid blow to its head.
The creature seemed not to notice.
