The room got darker with black and dark purple coils of smoke slithering about. The beast within Seth was on a rampage trying to take control but he swallowed it down as he looked to the children. Their eyes were on the woman with bloodthirst. They were changing and Seth couldn't keep them at bay for long. He looked to the family and saw the fear in their eyes, only fueling the beast within to come out. He tampered it down and focused on keeping our beasts in.
"Wha-what are you?" The woman stuttered. Seth looked at her and he could tell by the way she shivered that he looked just as scary as the children. His eyes glowing with the black tendrals of smoke withering around him. The man stepped closer into the way of his wife and child to protect them. The little girl was crying now saying sorry over and over again. Seth tried to stop this, but no matter how hard he tried it never ended well. It never did, and he wasn't strong enough to protect them.
"Please, you need to leave. Now." Seth said in a strained voice, it was hard to try and keep all their beasts at bay. His power wasn't enough for all five of them and if they didn't leave soon they were doomed.
"No. This has got to be some joke. Who are you people? Is this a game to you?" The man said, not understanding the situation he was in. Fear still evident in his eyes. The room was getting even darker as their beasts pushed on.
"Leave." Seth roared, scaring them even more. The man looks around the room, probably for something to use against them. The woman who was holding her bloody hand to her chest reached out to him.
"Its ok, please. Don't hurt us. We didn't mean to break it, we will pay you back." With her bloody hand closer the smell got worse and Seth couldn't stop it anymore. The beast escapes just as the man grabs a lamp on the desk and throws it. The beast roars as it thrusts its hand out and strikes the man in his chest throwing his blood all over. Then throwing him into the wall. The children went after him and Seth turned to the woman who was covered in blood stumbling to the door and trying to get her terrified daughter outside. The beast grabs her and pulls her back in as the little girl gets out the door. It throws the woman sending her flying behind it on the ground were the children's beasts get to her, blood flying everywhere. They never stood a chance.
The little girl ran outside down off the porch and into the grass sobbing. Seth could smell the fear dripping off her. Her fear energized the beast. All he could think of was her death. He stalked closer to the girl. The beast loved when they ran. Her parents blood covering her sunflower dress and the hair that was once in cute ponytails were now down and hard with drying blood in the night breeze. She was screaming but with no one to help her. She cowered in the yard near the lone apple tree. Seth was just ready to kill her, so close to splitting her petrified throat when something landed in front of the little girl and picking her screaming body up into the sky.
They stopped in the sky just out of the beasts reach and Seth saw a beautiful girl, maybe eighteen, trying to calm the child. Telling her everything was going to be alright, that she was safe. It took her a while till the little girl was comforted and then she looked down straight into the darkness of the beast and at Seth. He realized she could see him, really see him and not the beast. Then, he thought she might be an angel or a descendant at least. Her white wings glisening in the moon light, her golden wavy hair flowing in the wind. And her bright blue eyes looked past the beast completely. It was like she could see him and only him. She looked back at the child then to him and flew away out of my sight. After a while of sitting there the beast became furious. She just stole its prey, like taking a toy from a child.
To Seth, she was a savior, but to the beast she was a thief. And when it was angry it was harder to control. The beasts roar rippled into the night sky.
