Chapter 1 - The Book

Thud... Thud... Thud...

A Girl walking toward her college

Wearing a pink kurti, white pants, chunky chappal, round glasses and a light pink dupatta as headscarf

The wind lifted her dupatta, revealing the soft glow of her face beneath, as her hair danced in the breeze

She kept walking, when a moment later, a voice drifted through the air, calling her name

"Shu!"

Shu turned back, her steps slowing.

A familiar figure waved from behind-her friend"Tensee"

Wearing a black hoodie, short pants an shoe

(Short hairl)

"Good morning..., Good morning"

They begin walking together toward the college. On the way Tensee leaned in an said

"So did you heard the news! 3 people ware found dead in the old abandon Church, it's the 2nd time that the body was half eaten' same as last time when those 2 body's ware found in the abandon hospital "

"Again...? That's horrible. Why is this happening so often now? Does a wild animal lost the way an came in town and started hunting humans for food?"

"Some people are saying it's not an animal… that something's out there."

"What could it be, a monster?"

"Don't know the police are still on it, but they couldn't find the real reason behind the deaths"

...

At lecture room.

Principal: "Blah blah blah… safety is our priority… blah blah… avoid late hours… blah…"

While principal was giving his lecture, shu was on her phone looking at the news

News : "We're following breaking news—three mutilated bodies have been found inside the abandon Crunch, This marks the 2nd gruesome discovery in just 3 days."

Thescreenshowedflashing police lights cutting throughthick mist. Shadows moved in the background, officers dragging yellow Tape across the entrence an the gate.

Anchor(continued) :

"All three victims were partially eaten, similar to the previous cases near the abandoned hospital. Locals report hearing strange howls at night, but investigators have no solid leads. Authorities advise everyone to stay clear of the Crunch until further notice."

After watching the news, Shu started thinking about something in her mind, Meanwhile her friend Tensee looking at her with worrying eyes. Seems like she knows what's shu is thinking.

Time 3:12 after the college.

On the gate Tensee was waiting for Shu with some other friends, as Shu arrive tensee said

"Hey! Shu... We are planning to karioke could you like to come with us"

Shu said: "Thanks for inviting me but I got stuffs to do, soo I can't go with you all sorry!!"

"Aww Tensee was waiting for you an you got stuff to do!! Damn"

Tensee said: " No problem it's fine we all know how busy you are so it's okay, let us know when you are free! Next time you will come with us

"Sure"

After that shu went on her way! While others ware going to karioke! But Tensee look behind at Shu an said in her thoughts

"you are going there aren't you "

Then the other girls started talking about shu

"It could be really hard for Shu to live alone, i wonder where does she get money from"

"She sure do a part time job after the college, that's why she is busy"

"I heard her parents abandoned her, to her grandma when she was 5, things got tough for her after her grandma passed away..."

"She really is strong, (Right Tensee...)"

"Tensee...? Tensee...???"

"Huh! Yes yes what?" What is it.

"Huh!? What was you thinking about?

"Ahh! Nothing."

Then the scene shifts. Shu walks forward, her steps steady with purpose . Under her breath, she murmur, "I don't know, but something telling me to go there."

The Abandon Church. Shu take a look at the Church and said "it's been a long time, I don't even remember when I came here, last time."

But she can't go in yet there a gard shitting on chair at the entrance gate

"It's a garenti he won't let me just go in, I need to find other way to go in"

After then shu went at the back gate which doesn't looks like it will be open, shu try to push it.

"Tssk… pnnnnk—kreeeaaaak…"

"Huh! It opened"

Then she went in it's the back yard of the Church, with a little smile and sadness eyes, shu said.

"I still remember this place"

The back yard was like a maze there walls every where, shu walks towards the Church,

But two officers where there investigating the surrounding, a female an a male officer.

"Hey! You there hands up"

Shu got a Lil shock she rise up her hand an the, female officer said

"What are you doing here an how did you get in here"

Shu said " i... I came in from the back gate!"

"An why don't you know this place is dengerous an no one's allowed to come in"

With a regret face, Shu said

"I... I sorry ma'am" i... I believe leaving this place immediately.

Then the, male officer said

"Wait... You said you came in by the back gate! How did you manage to open it?, even our 5 strongest man couldn't open it together, so how did you?"

"Ahh... I just pushed the gate an it opened"

"That doesn't make any sense, you are coming with us"

"But i... i...."

Then suddenly something murmur from up behind

" Grrraaauuugh… kkhhhrrraaannnkkk… "

Up at the wall there was a black creature with long tentacles, shu an the officers ware stunned after looking at it, everything was silence for a second,

Then the male officer slowly tryed to move backwards, the creature tentacles wave, it jump at the male officer an started biting him, the officers was scream with pain.

"Nnngghhh… AAAAAGHHHHHH!!"

"GaaaAAHHHH—hhk—GKKKHH!"

The female officer and Shu froze, horror etched across their faces. Blood sprayed across the floor as the male officer's screams echoed, then abruptly fell silent.

Shu's heart pounded. Run. Every instinct screamed at her, but her legs wouldn't move.

The creature turned, its countless eyes—if they were even eyes—locking onto her. It screeched again, a piercing cry that rattled her bones.

"Move!" the female officer shouted, grabbing Shu's arm and pulling her out of the trance. They run to the exit door,

it was raining outside. After coming out of the Church while they ware still running, shu said.

"Wha... What about yourfriendwe can't leave him bihind!!"

The female officer yelled.

"His death, didn't you see, that creature"

"Eat him!!"

The rain hammered down harder as they sprinted across the cracked pavement. Water splashed under their boots, soaking through their clothes, the cold biting into their skin.

Shhhhhh...

The sound of rainfall was loud—too loud. It masked the world around them.

Until—

SLKSHHH—THUMP!

A sickening noise behind them.

Shu whipped her head around. !"Huh—!"

"Don't stop!" the officer screamed, yanking Shu's wrist.

The creature jump infront of them, the female officer yelled an fire the creature with her pistol

"yahghhhh...!!!, BANG! BANG! BANG!"

But bullets didn't even give a scratch to the creature.

Then the female officer push back shu an said "i'll distract that thing, you run, go to the police station an report them what's happened here!"

With heavy breathing, Shu said.

"B... Bu... But what about you"

The officers yelled!!, "i said, Goo...!!!"

Shu run as fast she can, then the creature jump an attacked the female officer, shu show it from a Little distance, she run with tears on her eyes, heavy breathing, regrets on her face, while the creature was enjoying the officers death cropse.

When shu reached at the main gate, she started looking for gard.

But, What she found was nothing but a death corpse laying on the ground.

"No... Noo... Nooo..."

With no hope left in her chest, Shu bolted from the gate, stumbling into the open road.

Rain fall. Cold. Relentless.

She ran—past the dead, past the screams echoing in her memory—toward the town's police station. Each drop soaked her skin, blurred her vision, but she didn't stop.

Meanwhile a unknown figure apair on the top of the Church watching Shu , an said

"I thought all of them ware death, but theres still 1 alive, on Earth"

"And why did she didn't fight it, it was just a antigur is she soo weak or she dont know who she is."

The scene shifts an we show shu still running in the rain, after a while she reach the police station. Door opened*

"ceeeaaakkk"

"Ma'am are you Okey!?"

After a movement shu explain everything to the officers, what happened on the Church

Then they immediately call the reinforcement an rush to the Church.

"Officer Joy in duty, sir we are rushing towards the Abandon Crunch at Northeast!!"

While police was taking action on it, shu ware in side the police station sitting on a sofa an thinking about something in her mind. Then a female officer came to her an said"

"Ma'am here a cup of coffee for you might feel a little better"

"Thanks"

Shu took a sip of coffee while the female officer asked"

Shu looking down stayed silent.

Then the telephone phone ring - "Brrr brrr! Brrr brrr!" an the female officer said"
