"What is going on?" Amanda could hear the quiver in her own voice as she tried to whisper as softly as possible "Everyone is dead" "dead?" "yes, it appears to be wearing us as meat suits, and then it disposes of us the moment it finds a new body". Jenna still couldn't get over what she had witnessed. It was so horrible. Too terrible for words. Worse than any horror movie she'd ever seen. Worse than passing a tragic car accident on the side of the road. It left her with a sick feeling of doom.
"Meat suit? You aren't making sense" "Nothing makes sense anymore. Look" Jenna opened the cupboard door just a little. All Amanda could register was blood. Blood on the floor, blood on the ceiling, blood on the walls. Flesh, chunks of it, dangling from the ceiling fan - how did it get there? Bone?? "Is must have left" Jenna said, noticing that the visitor was gone. "I don't know what you're on about, but clearly, we need to get out of here and call the police." Amanda opened the cupboard door slowly, looking left, then right, then left, then right, till she was sure that it was safe to come out. She crawled forward, still cautious, looking out for danger. When Jenna came over and stood beside her, she decided it was probably safe enough to straighten out.
Jenna felt it's hot breath on her neck. Yes. It was standing behind them. They hadn't seen it and certainly hadn't heard it. She was scared. The adrenaline rush came and went so fast, that it left her defenseless - weak legs that felt like they were about to cave in and a heart that was beating so fast her chest would explode. The fear was gripping. Amanda was looking at her and then looking behind her, at her and then behind her again. She was as pale as a ghost. Amanda couldn't believe what she was looking at. Standing just inches behind Jenna, was a monster. It was a 6 foot tall creature. It was covered in pure muscle and blood, like it's skin was on, inside out. It had horns like a ram, coming out of it's forehead. It's eyes were locked on Jenna - eyes like a goat. She would have expected the devil to have eyes like a cat, but no, it had yes like a goat... aside from that, he pretty much resembled a human. Amanda too, couldn't move. Grounded in fear, she was forced to witness the horror.
The visitor lifted his right hand, and pressed his long black nails against Jenna's skin. She could feel them pierce through her flesh, but still, she couldn't bring herself to move, or scream, or make any attempt to save her own life. She knew it was over. She'd seen him work his magic before. She knew it was inevitable, and would just take longer if she fought him. Amanda watched him force his hand right through Jenna's back. He made it look so effortless. Jenna had started to gargle and was making futile attempts at gasping for air, she turned her head and looked at Amanda. Amanda could see the terror in Jenna's eyes. It was over. Jenna knew it, and Amanda knew it. The monster placed his left hand flat against Jenna's shoulder blade and simply pushed her off his right arm. She fell to the floor, the life was gone from her eyes. The monster was holding Jenna's heart. He lifted it to his mouth. Amanda had seen this before, she knew what he was going to do - he tore into it with his long sharp teeth, and after a few quick bites, it was gone. He turned his attention to Amanda, who was still frozen in fear. 'He is going to kill me, oh God, I don't want to die like this'.
Just when Amanda thought she'd be next, the monster stepped over Jenna's body. He picked Jenna up and reached into her via the huge hole in her back, the same hole that her heart had exited her body through. He plucked his arm out, holding bone and intestines, and other organs as far as Amanda could tell, and he flung them backwards over his shoulder. 'Oh, that's how the flesh got up there' Amanda found herself thinking. He kept shoving his hand back into her body, and emptying the fleshy shell that once was Jenna, of it's contents. Amanda felt like she wasn't even there. She felt like she was witnessing the event from another world. Her brain just couldn't grasp what it was seeing. It was so unreal, so gruesome. When he was done, he shook Jenna's flesh out, like a blanket. The term meat suit, came to Amanda's mind. The monster then stuck his left foot through the hold in Jenna's back, he then proceeded to pull at the flesh, like a woman putting on a pair of stockings, till his enormous leg was fully covered by the skin of Jenna's left leg. He then stuck his right leg in, then his arms, and finally his head. When he was all done, he turned around, and looked at Amanda. She thought she was scared before, but nothing could have prepared her for this. She was looking at a bulky distorted Jenna, who was looking right back at her, and giving her a sarcastic smile. She was looking into the eyes of the dead, looking back at her, through the eyes of the devil.
"Doesn't.... fit...." he said, in a low, deep growl, and then started to hobble over to Amanda.
