There are things that bump in the night. The reason that humans still fear the darkness, they say it’s an irrational fear of the unknown; but it isn’t. Have you ever had the feeling your being watched; or worse, followed when your coming home late and it’s dark? The feeling of the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end?

Well this is my story. A warning to others. I do not want another to become what I have. I fear that this may be the sanest I will ever be, before my mind fades.

You may know me as Empathy. I will not tell you my real name; it’s for your safety more than my own. I was a nursing student, many said I had a bright future, as I seemed confident and great at what I did. I loved working with paitents.

I remember that day I had done a late shift so it was dark when I left the hospital. It was cold as it was nearly autumn. The trees loomed over me like arms, and the air chilled. I then felt it. My senses had become super aware, ever sound seemed to be louder. The air frigid as it came out of my mouth in white clouds. Pulling my coat tighter around me I carried on walking towards my car.

*SNAP*

What was that? I thought, shrugging to myself I carried on walking thinking it was a squirrel or some small nocturnal animal.

*SNAP* I spun this time, the hairs on the back of my neck had raised and my heartbeat was beginning to pound against my chest as the roar of blood filled my ears. My breathing started to get heavier. Slowly I turned again walking faster.

Sorry I-I have to go….I I need to go….If I get some time I’ll tell you the rest…………………………..

I was writing before about how I came to this point... I had told you about the noises in the dark. I had begun to walk at an almost jog to get to my car when I had heard the panting..... I was so scared...or what I thought was scared. I-I could feel it sstarring at the the back of my head. I had got to my old car....My hands fumbled with the keys...I could hear the panting now...Heavy monoslavic, and the loud footsteps....I shouldn't turn...I I needed to get into the safety of the car.....It was getting closer....Then I heard the growl...

Oh god....Mmmy hands are shaking....II dropped my keys...so scared I crashed to my knees feeling for my keys....all i could hear was the heavy panting...... I needed to run...My body rufused to move...I had to get away...to safety....I I couldn't breath.....

Hot Hot breathe against my neck......as I heard it's voice my body forze....I I I couldnt...no....please....please...please...no...more...

...... *The next few pages are covered in black and scarlet blotches.*

The lecturer speaks gently to the theatre full of students, "As you can see we do not know if this particular person was mentally unstable or someone truly did capture her. Can anyone tell me what this looks like?"

Wren placed his hand up, as the lecturer pointed at him. "It sounds like she had a childhood experience when she was younger that traumatised her later in life. The "creature" could have been a dog, and the heavy breathing her own imagination. Also if she was depressed the blood could be from self-harm."

"Very good Wren, but we aren't here to look at the scentific reasoning. We are here to look deeper and think outside of the box." A mousy haired girl with dark eyes and a rounded face put her hand up. "Yes Miss Redtrum?"

"The "creature sounds like a shapechanger or better known Shifter. Although it also sounds very young or crazed, it went after her and kept her alive instead of ripping her apart. It also sounds like she became infected herself."

"Good. Very good," the lecturer nodded. "Although not one of you have considered that it may have been a vampire's victim or even a forest creature. Clearly this person was traumatised after the event and slowly disended into madness, which could be an effect from a posion found in many supernatrual beings."

The bell begins to ring, "All right class you did brilliantly on your first day here at the Academy. Please remember to bring your Supernatural Codex 101 tommorow and too sleep well today as class begins at midnight." The lecturers eyes flashed as he smiled to show his fangs.

Nothing unusual at Trewen Academy for the Gifted and Supernatural.

Trewen Academy for the Gifted and Supernatural; a place where anybody who has been considered strange, weird or unusual can go. Everyone from computer genius to empathes come to the Academy. The ages of the students varies on their gift the youngest is a 4 year old telekensis, who was abandoned and the oldest is 25 year old arsonist who was jailed at in his early teens after he accidental started a fire.

All the students who come to the academy board and stay on site until they graduate, unfornatley problems have been occuring so that less and less students graduate.

The tale of Empathy was from the previous year, her body is yet to be found but they found her journal.
