WHEN: In the depths of the cold night (say, around 2)
WHERE: the school grounds
WARNING: somewhat gory imagery
Ms. Clare Kincaid, the teacher of Supernatural Studies and Creature Lore, let out a gasp. There it was, in an old 16th century text, crumbling away at her fingertips. A pilgrim's tale, relating an old myth from the local savages (the Algonquin) about a 'demon', a demon that delighted in feasting on humans, either by possessing them and letting them kill ('devour') or by simply killing them directly.
She looked it up in more recent volumes, pushing her cascading curly hair out of her eyes. Yes, it matched the pattern found in the myths of the Ojibwe, the Cree, the Naskapi and the Innu. They knew what they were up against now.
Relieved, she whispered its name.
Outside, deep in the woods, it twitched. It awakened. It knew. It had power now; harvesting her, it would have more. With a howl as hollow as the wind, it took flight, going straight for the Academy.
