As a child, in the orphanage, I heard the legend oh the Rolling Calf, a bull with fiery eyes who preys on people, especially children.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4llVnDxc
One story - the one I heard at school - goes that if you walk on the road past twelve midnight, you will fall victim to the beast.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqFxVZNslT

No, they're not. I was just tired, I tell myself in a futile attempt to fool myself. To the best of my knowledge, I have never hallucinated in my life, so unless my mind just decided to snap out of no where, what I saw was indeed real. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtffXMgWCts

"Shut the hell up," I say out loud to my inner voice. I don't need this right now, to face the idea that mythical devil bulls might be real.

"Ghosts exist," I mumble to myself, under my breath, as I walk around my small, dimly lit kitchen, peeking through the window ever so often. It's a phrase that I've been repeating to myself over and over again today, because a part of me - the part that doesn't want to believe that I'm a nutter - has been trying to convince me that the existence of rolling calves isn't that crazy after all.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjc6f36bb

"You're not a nutter, Nya," I tell myself. Sighing, I go to wash up the dishes, still constantly looking out the kitchen window, expecting the rolling calf to show up at any second. I begin to wonder why he didn't chase me, why he just stood there under the tree. If the legends are true, they should kill you. Maybe he likes to play with humans before he kills them, and he's waiting on the perfect opportunity to ambush me. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZO0zg8G7

"Ah shoot! Damnit!" I shout as I release the stupid knife and hop around the kitchen like an idiot, spilling blood on the white tiles. I've never been affected by the sight of blood, but the smell has always disgusted me. As the scent of copper combined with whatever else blood consists of makes its way up my nostrils, I fight the urge to retch. Really disgusting. It reminds me of the smell of the specimens that I have to dissect in labs, something that I don't think I'll ever get used to. Breathing through my mouth instead of my nose, I get myself to relax. Once I calm down, I lean against the sink as I run the open wound under some cold water, wincing at the feeling of the room temperature liquid burning the wound. I mentally check if I have any antibiotic cream in the house, and almost bang my head against the sink when I realise I don't. I'm in no condition to leave my house -- mentally or physically -- and now I have to go to the pharmacy for this.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV5dPxp97K

You could just pour alcohol on it, I think to myself, already wincing at the thought of how painful that would be. As I inspect it, I realise that it's not that deep, it's superficial.

Its in moments like this that we stop and reflect on our lives, on everything that we've ever done wrong, to see if there is anything that warrants us being cursed by the universe.

"Holy crap," I whimper, frantically stepping backwards, and falling to the ground with a harsh thud. I look around me, at the blood all over the floor, the blood only intensifying the moment, causing me to cover my face with my uninjured hand. "Crap, crap, crap," I say, the sound muffled by my hand as I angle my injured hand in an awkward position, trying not spill any more blood. It takes me a while, and I don't know how long I sit there on the floor, as once again, I start to think of every wrong thing that I have ever done. Everything is a fine mess, not just in the kitchen, where I'm hiding like a child, but in life itself. There is nothing that could have possibly prepared me for this, and I try to think of solutions to my problems.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpUOkP2ZdO

Now, I've never really been taught how to piss off a rolling calf, but I'm pretty sure that calling one a bastard is a pretty good place to start. Hastily, I run to my room, knocking into several pieces of furniture on the way. By the time I lock the door, not only do I have a cut hand, but I can also feel a bruise beginning to form on my side from running into the couch. Still, I decide that I'm not leaving my room until tomorrow morning. Hell, he'll probably phase through the walls, or some crazy crap like that to come get me. I don't even know what to expect from the world any more. I don't know when I'll leave my house, if I ever do again. Probably find a work at home job on the Internet and order Pizza Hut every night. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but at this point, anything is better than being killed by a demon. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhFEjNXDEF

Last night was awful. I barely slept, and when I finally did fall asleep, I had a nightmare about my little friend. I dreamt that he chased me out onto the main road, where I was hit by a truck. Just as the truck slammed into my body, I woke up. I don't have school today, for some reason they cancelled it. Additionally, today is a week day which means I don't have work. Therefore, I'm stuck here, waiting on this damn demon bull to return. Why I feel as if he is here for me, I don't know. He could be here for anyone in the blasted complex. Or, he could just be chillin'. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx0JRXcrh0

When I sleep on something, I tend to be more rational when I think about it the next day. Certain things begin to take on more importance than I originally thought. For example, he had the chance to kill me the night that I first saw him, but he didn't; he let me live. I want to throw out my original hypothesis that he "plays with his prey" but still I can't. It's still a possibility, too. Why he didn't kill me, I will never know, and honestly, I don't want to find out.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyV1JWfZFt

I look out the window, and see no sign of Calfie. Yeah, that's what I'll call him. Then again, it isn't even three o'clock in the afternoon. I can't believe that I've been reduced to this: a pathetic creature, scared of leaving the comfort of her apartment in broad daylight. I need to go outside, though. There's a humongous pile of garbage stuffed into a Glad bag in my house, and I have to discard of it. After pouring salt water on my cut -- surprisingly not as painful as it sounds -- and treating it with gentian violet before wrapping it with gauze from my first aid kit, I'm ready to go outside. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HhOY13grc

I pick up the heavy garbage bag, and open my door, trying to be as stealthy as possible, just in case the rolling calf is brazen enough to be lurking around my apartment in broad daylight. For me, stealth is trying to tiptoe to the dumpster while my flip flops make the most noise against the pavement, then huffing as I toss the bag and whimpering at the pressure on my cut as I do so. In other words, not very stealthy at all. As soon as I toss the rubbish into the dumpster, I breathe a sigh of relief, because I know that I can simply run back inside now. That is, until I turn around and see Calfie standing in front of the stairs leading into the apartment building, looking me in the face.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHA2omR1v

Now, I'm convinced that he's here for me. He doesn't move; he just stares at me, and like the last time I nearly piss my pants. I try to remind myself that he hasn't done anything to hurt me so far, and that fearing him at this point is pointless, but thinking these rational thoughts in the somewhat safety of my house and the thoughts u have as I stand before him are two different things. My entire body starts to tremble in fright as I try to think of any possible way that I can get out if this situation. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVSisNiJ7N

I could beg, I think to myself, despite the ridiculousness of the idea that a demonic being will listen to my pleas. I'd snort at myself if the situation weren't so terrifying. Still, I'm more than ready to drop onto my knees and beg. I expect him to rush me, kill me and collect my soul, or whatever they do when they kill people - do they even collect souls? I don't even know - but instead, he does something that is completely unexpected. He lets out a loud breath, almost as if he is sighing, and walks out of my way to go and lay under the mango tree. It only takes one second for me to register that he is gone, for me to propel myself forward, and for me to ever so gracefully land on my face. I can feel the tears stinging my eyes, from both fear and as a reaction to hitting my nose so hard, as well as the pressing need to fart that one might get when frightened out of their wits.828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAUawWdQxb

Once inside, I begin to hyperventilate, back against the closed door. I don't know what will calm me down as I consider what just happened, because with each passing second, I realise just how real this is. As I contemplate what has just happened, I close my eyes, as if cutting off my vision will make me any less stressed. I count to ten un my head repeatedly, five times to be exact, I feel myself calming down, more quickly than I did yesterday.

And more importantly, how did he know my name? There's one thing that I'm now sure of, though. He won't hurt me.

It's in the middle of my thoughts of him that I'm brought back into the here and now, by him. I realise that I'm looking at my toes, panted a light pink that contrasts well with my skin colour. I'm standing there waiting on something else. And he's saying goodbye. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBENKEPie

"Goodnight, Nya," he says in a singsong voice, a sweet voice, a teasing voice. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tP8gBn4xB

I look up in time to see him walking off, tail swishing, leaving me standing at the foot of the stairs with more questions than answers. 828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uXXttWdDP
