...d the night. There, unnervingly close, was the source of the snarl. It was not a beast, nor an animal of any kind; it was a dirty, black haired figure on the forest floor. Its yellowed, long-nailed hands clutched the match and match-box it had just put to use, and its huge eyes glared up into young, terrified ones. It opened its thin-lipped mouth, and the words came out hoarse and low. "Master Grayson Saudley. You came."

It was barely worth enough to buy a loaf of bread, but the man eyed it with hungry eyes. Gray tossed it towards him, and watched in numb disgust as a yellowed hand dropped the match-box and picked it up, placing it on his tongue. The burning match was now close to his fingers, but he didnt seem to notice. Nodding to himself that the coin was genuine, he stored it carefully in a ragged pocket. "Now take me to my father," the boy whispered.
