MONSTERS HIDE IN TREES NOW

The monstrosity moved with a cloak of silence, massive paws muffling the sound of the crunching snow beneath her bulk completely. Pale golden optics scanned the wondrous forest, picking the perfect tree to rest in. If she climbed one of these massive redwoods, climbing down from the lower branches might require too much effort and time should she pick a fast moving prey. A stunted, but still quite tall, redwood caught her eye, and the tawny woman used her powerful hind legs to leap straight into the air, and grabbed hold of a low branch with her enormous front paws. Settling herself upon the branch, she sighed contentedly. How she longed for the bloodshed, for the thrill of the kill. She wanted to sin, and break bones, and rend flesh. That deep hunger let a scream erupt from her lips, a horrid nails on chalkboard sound that set fear into the hearts of all who were within the range of hearing it. Closing her gaping maw once more, a twisted laugh followed, low and throaty. It was almost like a chuff, but not quite. The terror scanned the terrain with those pale sunshine pools, waiting for something to attract her attention.
