Prologue

It was a bright, moonlit night. The full moon was rising above the leafless trees and bathing the surrounding landscape with it's beautiful, yet haunting light. The moon itself was bright red in coloration. A swarm of bats flew off into the night to begin their nightly feast of insects. Off in the distance, a single wolf could be heard howling its mournful howl. Soon, the others of its pack joined their fellow wolf in an orchestra of howls that carried through the chill night air. There was a weak wind riding through the air, blowing the grass and branches in a southerly direction.

Off in the distance beyond the trees, was a large schoolground with multiple buildings. The buildings themselves were Gothic in design. The buildings had all the characteristics of such architecture: pointed arches and spires, large stained-glass windows, high-vaulted roofs/ceilings, ornate decorations, flying buttresses, and even some gargoyles at certain points. The main building was the largest of them all, with it's tall and menacing spires casting a shadow that eerily loomed over the landscape. This shadow seemed to swallow up everything it touched.

Suddenly, a fearful scream issued from the main building. The large main doors to the main building were forced open by a terrified teenage girl. The girl was probably sixteen years old. She had pale skin as the color seemed to drain from her face. The girl had dark blue hair and grassy green eyes. She was tall and quite slim. She wore a uniform that appeared to be a female school uniform, consisting of a black waist-length coat, a red tie, a white undershirt, a short red plaid skirt, knee-high black socks, and brown dress shoes. However, the state of her uniform was another matter: it showed signs of ripping and tearing from some form of assailant. There were spots and streaks of blood on it. The blood came from the open wound on her arm that the girl was currently holding against herself. Her face was a mask of terror. She had eyes that bore a haunting expression and were red with being bloodshot. She was panting and sweating from a great amount of pain and physical exertion.

From behind her, a cacophony of roars and shrieks that no animals could make sounded from behind the frightened girl. The horrible sounds were coming closer and closer to where the girl was currently standing. The poor thing realized that she couldn't stay where she was and bolted for the forest that surrounded the school.

She must have ran for what felt to her like hours. Running through thick woods with thorny plants tore at her uniform and skin, leaving cuts along her legs and arms. But she didn't mind the pain. Her adrenaline was telling her to ignore the pain. All she knew was that she had to run. To get away from whatever was chasing her.

She wished that she had never come to this godforsaken place. To this house of horrors. Nothing here was human, not by any definition of human. This place housed things. Things that should've been nothing but scary bedtime stories. Things that should've been considered myth. But no, these things were real. And out for flesh and blood.

The frightened girl ran between the dark trees and jumped over creeks and fallen logs. She had to find the main gates. She had to get away from this nightmare. The moon illuminated some of the girl's path, but the branches of the trees did nothing to help her situation.

Eventually, the girl decided to simply find a place to hide. If she could find a hiding place, she could wait until morning, when the horrible things chasing her would return to the school to sleep the day away. After a frantic search, she found a potential hiding spot.

It was a short hill with a rocky overhang. The space underneath looked big enough for someone of her size to fit through. She dropped to her hands and knees and crawled underneath the overhang. Once she got herself situated in her spot, she covered her mouth and focused on watching and listening for anything out of the ordinary.

At first, there was nothing worth worrying about. She could hear the soft hooting of a great horned owl from the trees and saw a few bats fluttering around a small pond.

Then she heard a collection of sounds that chilled her very bones. Lots of roars, howls, and screeches coming from the distance and closing in. The girl gathered a bunch of leaves and bunched them up in front of herself as a shield from their sight, while leaving just enough space for her to look out into the night.

Suddenly, shadowy shapes burst through the trees. The figures were inhuman in their forms. Some were tall or short. Some had horns, jaws, or wings. The girl couldn't quite make out more distinctive features except for the fact that they all had glowing red eyes. It was like their eyes were actually producing light. Eventually, one of the figures spoke.

"Spread out! Find that human!", it said with a gruff voice. The other figures followed the first one's command and spread out to find her. Those with wings took to the air while the wingless ones spread out to search at ground level.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the figures moving further and further away from where she was hiding. She would survive until morning. She was going to escape. She would leave this place behind and get the police or even the military to destroy this place. She was going to see her father, mother, and little brother and sister again. She smiled at thought of seeing her family again.

But that smile immediately left the girl's face when she opened her eyes to see an inhuman face staring right at her! The face only faintly resembled a human face. From what little light her eyes could draw in, the face before her was reptilian. It had a very feminine look to it, indicating that the creature was female. It had slightly slanted eyes, which were glowing that same shade of red as the others' and had slit pupils. Its skin was covered in dark blue scales. The nose on this monster had two vertical slits for a nose. The creature had no lips, but it was smiling at her, revealing rows of sharp curved teeth. A forked tongue flicked out its mouth, licking the girl right across the face! Its head was bigger than the girl's, adding to the creature's already-fearsome presence.

Then, without a word, the creature pulled its head out of the hiding place. Suddenly, without warning, a long and snake-like tail shot into the hole and wrapped itself across the startled girl's body. The strong tail then pulled the girl out of the hole and into the crimson moonlight. Now the girl had a better look at the monster who found her.

The creature itself was long, maybe sixty feet in length. Like its head, the rest of the body was covered in dark blue scales, with starry patterns on its back. It fanned out a cobra-like hood that revealed two red eye-shaped markings. The monster was wearing the same type of uniform that the girl was wearing, but it looked like the uniform was made to fit a creature like her. It was like a snake that grew legs. The creature had arms and legs with quite a bit of distance between these pairs of limbs. Each finger and toe ended in a sharp claw. The entire body felt comprised of nothing but sheer muscle. It's body had a decidedly feminine shape, with noticeable hips and a chest that stuck outwards. Its tail was even longer than its body and ended in a rattle similar to a rattlesnake's. Its tail rattled happily at having caught the human.

"Are you that dull, little mouse?", the creature asked in a surprisingly high-pitched voice.

"Why do you ask?", the girl asked in return.

"This whole place is surrounded by a magical barrier twenty four-seven. Without an enchanted pass, no one can get in or out of the grounds. Knowing that, would you still attempt to run away?", the snake creature said.

"Is there even any point? You've already got me.", the girl said, having given up any hope of getting out of here. The snake girl just gave her a mischievous smile.

"That's a fair question, but you're right. Even if I let you go, there's really no point in running.", the snake replied.

"Now our fun little game is over.", the snake continued. "Well, the fun's over for you at least. I'm just now getting to the good part."

To the girl's shock, the snake girl opened her mouth. However, her mouth kept opening and opening until she heard the jaw separate from the rest of the skull! Her fangs and tongue gleamed in the moonlight. The girl was moving towards the open maw. The girl's mind was filled with images of her days with her family. How she would play with her siblings, help mother with cooking, and fishing with her father. She silently prayed that she would see them again one day. The girl then closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

The first thing she felt was the monster's mouth close around her head and shoulders. The fangs pierced her skin, but she ignored the pain. The creature's tongue was pressed against her face. Next, her head was pulled to the back of the creature's throat. Her head slid down effortlessly. This was followed by her shoulders and pressed her arms against the sides of her body, making it easier for her to be swallowed.

On the outside, the snake monster was enjoying herself getting to eat a human. After she swallowed the girl's shoulders, she tilted her head upwards to allow gravity to further push her prey down her throat. After a few minutes, she managed to get the girl waist-deep down her throat. Before her feet could disappear into her mouth, though, she grabbed the girl's shoes and took them off. After removing the shoes, the snake girl continued swallowing her prey. After a few more minutes, the girl's feet went down the snake girl's throat. There was noticeable bulge in the monster's neck as the girl traveled further and further to the beast's stomach.

Back inside the monster, the poor girl was being squeezed further down into the monster's gullet. It was dark, warm, and slimy as hell. She felt like she had been in here for hours. Finally, after around ten minutes, she slid into the monster's stomach. There was a bit more room in here, but only enough to nudge the stomach lining with her elbow. She struggled to get herself situated until she was curled into the fetal position in the monster's gut. The various sounds around her were constantly sounding in her ear. Sounds of gurgles, growls, and the faint beating of the creature's heart. Surprisingly, there was a little oxygen in there. But only enough to keep her alive. This was where she was going to die: in the belly of a giant snake monster.

Outside, the snake girl felt the girl moving around until she must've tired herself out. There was a shapely bulge in her abdomen where the girl now lay awaiting death. The creature moved her head until she was looking right at the bulge.

"Oh, did I forget to mention that my species takes a long time to digest food? You'll probably be alive in there for three whole days until I finally start digesting you. Until then, you'll just be put into a nice and peaceful sleep. It's a better way to go then just being ripped apart by some other monster, in my opinion.", the snake girl informed her victim.

Then, in a bright flash of light, the snake girl changed from that of a snake monster to that of a human teenage girl roughly the same age as the girl she just ate. The new girl had light skin with a bluish tint to it and light purple eyes. She wore a witch's hat that had stars stitched onto it. To a human, she was vey easy on the eyes. She had a gorgeous face, C-cup breasts, slender-yet-shapely hips, and legs that would drives any male within eyesight mad with desire. The only thing that detracted from her beauty was the noticeable bulge in her abdomen, which had changed size to compensate for the change in the creature's physical form. This meant that the human she just ate shrank along with her. The monster girl gently rubbed her stomach and smiled.

"Thanks for feeding me. No human can escape the *belch* Great and Powerful Trixie!", the creature named "Trixie" exclaimed. She picked up the girl's shoes and slowly walked back to the school. Boy, were the other students and faculty going to be jealous!


From within the main building in the school, someone was watching the entire ordeal through a crystal ball. This someone was sitting at a desk finely carved of redwood and painted black. There were two seats in front of the desk and a green carpet on the floor. The office the figure was sitting in had a high-vaulted ceiling with a chandelier holding candles that were emitting bright orange flames. The sides of the office were lined with bookshelves containing hundreds of books. Behind the figure was a wall-sized window. To the sides of the window were two display suits of armor, each carrying a shield and sword.

The figure sighed in annoyance after watching Trixie eat that human girl. He hated it when that happened: students eating each other. He especially hated what he had to do whenever that happened to the human students. He'd have to send someone to that girl's family's home and erase their memories of her existence. It's sad, but it had to be done.

"Another one, failed. It doesn't matter. I'll have to keep on trying until I finally find the perfect one!", the figure said to himself.

Suddenly, the door opened. Into the office stepped a rather beautiful woman with a business-like suit and skirt that were dark gray in color and a red tie. The woman had dark blue hair and reptilian aquamarine eyes. This woman was quite beautiful, with a figure like a professional model. She walked up to the seated figure and looked disheartened.

"Another human student couldn't do it?", she asked. The figure sighed. He stood up to face Luna with a head that resembled a ram's head on a human's body.

"Yes, again."

"What will you do?"

"I'll do what I've always done: try again until I finally find someone worthy of being the Guide-Light. You know I have to do this, Luna."

Luna just shook her head. "Are you sure we have to keep doing this? We've been doing this for five years, now, Headmaster Grogar. How do you even know if the next one is going to be the Guide-Light?", she asked, earning a frustrated grunt from the Headmaster.

"I'll know it when I know it! The Guide-Light will help our people hope for a better future!", Headmaster Grogar exclaimed.

From behind them, the crystal ball starting rhythmically glowing. Grogar quickly ran to the crystal ball.

"Strange. It never did this before.", Grogar thought to himself as he looked at the crystal ball.

After focusing his magic, he saw a young boy. A young human boy. He looked to be around fifteen years old. He was a bit on the short side, with thin musculature, emerald green eyes and spiky green hair. He appeared to be reading a book. A book about monsters. Grogar and Luna leaned forward to pay closer attention to the boy.

After looking up from the book, the boy spoke. "Man, if monsters were real, I'd like to befriend one. Monsters seem more interesting to me than other people.", the boy said.

The boy's bedroom door opened and in walked a boy with a red jacket and an orange Mohawk. This new boy looked to the smaller one and spoke. "Spike, little bro, if you love monsters so much, why don't you marry one?", the boy asked his little brother "Spike".

"You know what, Garble? I hope I meet a monster one day and maybe a will marry a monster girl!", Spike rebuked to his older brother Garble.

Grogar and Luna looked at each other with shocked, yet hopeful eyes. They quickly turned their attention back to the crystal ball.

"What about all those stories about monsters eating people? Does that not scare you?", Garble asked.

"I don't care. I want to prove that it doesn't matter what you look like of where you come from, everyone we share this world with should be friends."

Garble chuckled at his brother's hopeful nature and playfully ruffled his hair.

"Just don't get eaten before you start high school, okay? You just graduated middle school and I don't want to lose my little brother."

Spike just laughed. "Okay, I promise."

And with that, the crystal ball turned off. Grogar looked up at Luna and smiled.

"I think we've found the Guide-Light.", he said.


Monster Guide

Trixie's Species: Vashta (a species made up by the author of this tale)

Vashta are snake-like monsters from the Middle East. They are rare due to their extremely territorial nature. Vashta are carnivores, eating most the herds of camels, sheep, and goats that are found in their territories. But humans have been known to be a favored food item. Vashta will go through a herdsman's entire herds and then eat the herdsmen. Vashta will take on human form and infiltrate human societies to feed on homeless populations. They use their venom to paralyze their prey before taking it back to a den to eat later. They can swallow humans whole in their true form, but eat humans bit by bit in their human forms. Vashta can go long periods of time without food. The only weaknesses of a Vashta are silver and decapitation. Like Saurians, they lay eggs. Vashta venom, when applied to the skin, can cure acne and dermatitis.
