It was a dark, foggy night deep into the woods when I just had to be out and about exploring, looking for anything of interest to me. So far I found nothing that caught my eye until from a few yards away I catch sight of the bushes moving and cracking of branches and twigs on the ground. I froze almost instantly, just slightly turning my head to maybe see what was over there, listening for any noises again. Snap goes another branch but this time from behind me. It's circling me I thought. Slowly again I turn and as I turn I am starring into these bright green mesmerizing eyes of a monster so big with it's head about the size of mine and a half, it was about as tall as me crouching down, the body twice the size of me around and these huge bear like paws, it's ears were long and pointy and the tail as long as the body length. As I stare straight into the eyes of this animal my heart is just beating faster and harder thinking that's this creature wants to claw me up intill tinie tiny pieces. But something doesn't seem right, as I stare into it's eyes it doesn't seem to show signs of aggression or anger in anyway, but of curiosity. We must have been like that for what seemed like hours but was really only minutes. Than I hear another cracking sound in the distance and our trance is broken off and it's gone in a flash just like that, the last I saw of it was its tail disappearing towards the sound. The rest of the night I laid there thinking will it come back in the morning and what was that sound I heard?

The next morning when I awoke by the sun shining on my face and with the little hours I slept. I set off in the direction I heard the noise and the creature ran off into. I walked about a football field and a half in length until I finally found the spot, I could tell because this scene was horrific. When I looked I saw branches knocked down, dirt stirred up, and spots of blood and fur patching someone of the earth. What on gods green earth has happened here and what caused this? I thought to myself. I looked around for any clues to where they could have gone, when I found a trail of broken down brush of to the side. So I followed it. I probably walked a good mile or so before I got to the end and found nothing, absolutely nothing at all. Confused, I start walking back and onto my trail that I had already started. I finally got started back on my trail and about half way down it, I hear this noise again, thinking it's nothing I keep moving. A few feet more I hear it again this time in front of me, this time it is getting dark out, so I kept walking forward towards the sound. Snap goes another twig from my left side this time, I stop and crouch down looking around hoping to see it again whatever it really is.

Heavy breathing coming from behind I freeze both nervous and excited to see this creature again, then I turn. Looking at this creature in the eyes I see kindness and calm. Something else is different too.it's eyes they aren't that bright green anymore but a soft blue color now. I still wander what this creature is, I never see it in the day only at night and only for a couple minutes but it seems like forever at a time. Than something breaks the mesmorizing trance and it's off again until i find the same scence as I did the day before and come night time it happens again. I will never know if i will ever see this creature in the day light or not, the same thing happens every night and day.
