Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Their bodies turned to stone, and their mouth\'s remained tight and shot in fear.

Just in this split second, the gang of 3 glanced at each other, trying their best to use their non-existent telekinesis powers to communicate with each other.

\'I thought you locked all the doors and windows?\'

\'I did! I did locked all the doors and even placed chairs against it to stop anyone from getting in.\'

\'Then, then, then, how can someone get in?\'

No! It might not even be human. What human could unlock doors from within, as well as push all those things aside and enter their home?

Fear crept up their spines, the louder the wooden floors of their home squeaked.

~Squeak. Squeak. Squeak!~

Their mouths opened wide in silent screams of horror while listening to the creepy sounds that bombarded their ears.

No! No! What was going to happen to them?

The gang of 3 began taking several steps back too, wishing to flee the scene via the front doors.

They walked backwards, not daring to take their eyes off the scene until the man sent his left hand behind his back in hopes of grabbing the door handle.

~BroohBroohBrooh!

It won\'t budge!

"What\'s happening? Why won\'t it open?"

"Mommy... I\'m scared..." Chindu said while feeling the warmth of his parents, who kept him hidden behind them.

Tears flowed out of his eyes at the thought of his parent\'s actions.

His body trembled with grief and unwillingness.

What? What wrong had they ever done to whoever was against them?

Why did that person want them all dead?

The little boy\'s eyes turned red when he thought of their predicament. He only wished that his sister could continue to remain safe.

He wasn\'t a fool.

He knew that today might be his last day in this cruel world.

Hopefully, after they\'re gone, his sister will live on and remain happy.

That was his only wish right now!

.

~BroohBroohBrooh!

His parents continuously tried to open the door and at least let him out.

And at the same time, the strange creaks grew louder and louder too.

~Squeak. Squeak. Squeak!

Chindu was ready to accept his death.

And soon enough, that came face to face with whatever had barged into their home.

-Silence-

(°0°)

The gang of 3 had no words to describe the scene before them.

​ Their speechlessness was due to the high level of shock they received.

Hehehhe... But make no mistake. Their silence wasn\'t because they were relieved.

No! They remained silent because of how petrified they were!

That\'s right. They were scared right out of their boots!

And standing before them were 2 gruesome-looking creatures with black cloaks and a hunched back.

These creatures seemed dripping wet as their pale blush skin was soaked from head to toe.

BuBuum buBuum! Bubuum!

Chindu\'s pupils dilated incredulously.

Monsters! Monsters! Monsters!

His parents stared at the scene in horror, with everyone placing their hands on their mouths, trying their hardest not to throw up.

No! They were so frightened that they dared not make any sounds for fear of angering whatever was before them.

The catatonic terror that weaved itself into their bodies made them tremble like a shaky leaf.

And at this moment, they leaned against the door, wishing to blend and become one with it, rather than standing before these creatures.

Likewise, the hunched, clocked creatures seemed surprised to see them up as well.

.

"Oh? How strange!" one of the creatures said, before smiling evilly: "How strange for you all to be up after all we\'ve done to you!"

What?! They... They... No!

The family of 3 felt true despair.

And at this moment, the amount of fear and despair emitted from them was too sweet for these creatures to resist.

So much so that one of the creatures couldn\'t take it anymore and began drooling stupidly.

"Bahahhahhaha! Since you can finally see us, then this will be your end!"

~Swish! The monsters all flew like lightning towards the group of 3, with crazed looks in their eyes.

Hahhahahaha!

A meal! A meal! They could finally eat the meal they had painstakingly been preparing for weeks now!

How would it taste? What would it be like?

To Chindu, their every move happened in slow motion, as death\'s claws stretched itself towards his family without mercy.

Everyone\'s face turned pale while their entire life seemed to flash before their very eyes.

Indeed. It was true what they said.

One would remember all their regrets and joys just before their death.

And for the trio, it was even more evident.

The couple thought of their entire life from childhood to now.

And 3-year-old Chindu\'s memories weren\'t that much. But what he primarily focused on was the happy times in his life where he and his family were still smiling unconditionally.

He closed his eyes in pain, once again accepting death.

This was the end for him, wasn\'t it?

.

"Bahahahhahahhha!"

The monsters laughed maniacally, the closer they got to their prey, enjoying every little bit of the show.

Yes. The fear they harvested was indeed satisfying.

They looked at the man who had now stood before his wife and children, on my feeling him stupid.

Heh. To them, humans were the same as how people took chickens or fish.

They were just food!

~Swish!

The monsters zoomed in the air and were ready to make a mark on their prey.

But just when their attack was inches from hitting its mark, suddenly, something bizarre happened!

"Lightning Of Eternia!"

Boom!

A massive explosive sound echoed out, followed by the loud gruesome cries of the creatures.

~Grawwwwwwhhhh!

The family of 3 shuddered with their eyes still closed, daring not to open them for even a split second.

What was going on? What was happening around them?

The creatures cried even more loudly, sounding as though someone was throttling millions of goats all at once

No! No! No!

The fear alone overwhelmed the gang of 3, making them unable to think or concentrate for even a second more.

But soon, they heard an angel\'s voice sound out amidst the chaotic cries.

"Mother! Father! Brother!... I\'m here!"
