Characters: Jay, [SURPRISE]
Summary: Popular YoTub Streamer MymomcallsmeJay (aka James "Jay" L. Moncton) has recently gone missing, to the horror of fans everywhere. Coincidentally, his last livestream was taken off of YoTub for "disturbing content".
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Murder, some descriptions of a dead body, some descriptions of gore. You have been warned.
The stream began.
The viewers saw part of a parking lot, surrounded by snow-piled land and trees dusted with more snow, like sugar. After a second, the camera started to turn a bit quickly, and a face filled the screen.
It was of a cat. He had grey and white fur, the latter color covering the top of his muzzle, head, and ears. He had eyes of a bronze hue, with a touch of fluffiness to his otherwise smooth fur. He started speaking.
"HEY, WHATS UP JAY-MERS! Jay here, live from the Northern regions of Azzakarie County! Today, we're gonna go ~monster hunting.~"
The comments of the YoTub livestream started pouring in. Many "LETS GOOOOOOO"s and "POGGIES" and "dont die lol"s were spammed.
"Hell yeah, Jay-mers! Now, in this region, a bunch of hikers and explorers have started going missing. Coincidentally, people have started seeing some weird animal running around in the woods here!
"They call it... The Winter Beast."
Jay pointed to a path up ahead, leading from the parking lot to elsewhere.
"I wanna find this cryptid LIVE! ON STREAM! And you guys get to watch!"
Multiples of messages full of emojis poured into the stream chat.
"Great to see y'all are excited! Now... let's go."
The camera started moving and shaking a little, as Jay walked up the trail. The snow could be heard lightly crunching beneath him.
At some point, the scenery changes, and the amount of trees started to increase.
Eventually, Jay stepped off the trail into the woods.
"As you can see, chatters, this place is PERFECT for a cryptid! Low foot traffic, secluded environment, cold dead ai-"
A few quick footsteps were heard nearby.
The camera stopped moving.
"... Chatters?"
The camera moved slowly side to side, as more footsteps were heard, though their sound faded away very soon.
Even the stream chat was silent and unmoving.
Slowly and wordlessly, the camera starts moving more into the woods, looking around at the slowly increasing amount of trees.
Suddenly, Jay shouted.
"YOOO!"
The viewers watched as Jay turned the camera around to face him, and he pointed to something in the snow.
Footprints.
"Dudes... dudettes... dudeens... look."
He brought his phone closer to the footprints-- they were quite long, like a lagomorphs. Alongside them were handprints.
“Yo… do you guys think this is the winter beast?”
The chat was flush with “oh shit”s and “holy fuck it’s the beast”s, along with some “😨” emojis.
“… man. You know, guys, I honestly wasn’t sure this was real or not. I thought that at most, we were gonna find a feral wolf. But this? This could be something else, Jay-mers.
"Oh well, enough rambling. Let's keep going."
Jay followed the prints in the snow.
Soon, the forest took a slightly different look-- the bark on some trees looked worn and bitten, some trees had chunks of it peeled off, the pieces nearly buried in snow on the ground. On some trees, it looked like someone had scratched it multiple times. Some even had dents.
The livestream footage started shaking a little.
Silence for a moment. Jay spoke up.
"'Jay, the camera is shaking'? Sorry, it's... it's getting cold."
His tone was unconvincing, laced with anxiety.
A noise was heard in another direction-- quick footsteps hitting the snow, twigs snapping. The camera was jerked over to said direction... where some freshly rustled tree branches were swaying gently.
The chat was not happy.
"... I... think it went that way, gamers— I-I mean Jaymers. We’re… gonna find a Cryptid, yeah?”
Jay continued in the direction of the rustled branches for another 5 minutes. It started to lightly snow during that time.
The camera shook slightly the whole way.
Finally, he and the audience came upon a clearing in the woods. The only ones truly there were Jay and the snow.
Total silence. Jay slowly turned the camera to face him. His face was creased with lines of fear, and he talked in an unsteady voice.
“Well, chatters… we’re here now. I’m really not sure if the Cryptid is anywhere near us right now. Honestly, I think I want to turn back now… But! If I get 100 more subscribers in the next 5 minutes, I’ll keep go—“
Suddenly, Jays eyes widened, and his mouth hung agape. He seemed to be staring at something off screen.
“… huh?”
He turned the camera again.
Something— or perhaps someone— was on the other side of the clearing.
Not many fine details could be seen from where Jay stood. Who/whatever it was, it was tall and stood with a slight hunch on two legs. Its face (or head) seemed long, with two ear like appendages atop it. It was also… wearing something blue?
Either way, the creature stood in silence.
Until Jay piped up again.
“Oh. My. GOD. We did it, chatters!!”
Jay turned himself around and his excited face appeared in the frame as the Winter Beast stood.
“We found a Cryptid! We actually found a Cryptid!!! I cant believe it, Jay-mers— the Winter Beast is real!”
The chat erupted in figurative applause. People said things like “LETS GOOOOOOOO” and “WE DID IT YOTUB” and “Common James W”. Comments such as “well technically it’s not a Cryptid anymore since you’ve confirmed it exists” were not considered.
“This is no lie the coolest thing we’ve done, Jay-mers. I’m gonna get SO. MUCH. INTERNATIONAL CLOUT for this. Guys, if I get 500 subscribers in the next 5 minutes, I’ll go UP FACE TO FACE with the beast!”
Jay was so enraptured in rooting his own horn, he didn’t notice or hear the beast bounding up impossibly fast behind him… until it bounced.
Jays phone was released from his grasp as he yelped in shock, and fell to the snowy ground. The camera was now facing towards the sky, with some trees in the bottom of the frame.
Though the view was barren, and the camera was very slowly being covered with snowflakes, the stream wasn't devoid of sound.
The tearing of clothes could be heard off screen, along with the sounds of growling, hissing, and thumping.
Along with Jay's voice.
"STOP! STOP IT! STO-- ow, shi-- OW! SOME ONE, ANYONE, HELP! PLEASE! STOP HURTING ME, I DIDN'T MEAN ANY BAD BY CO--"
Jay suddenly let out a blood curdling scream, cut short after a few seconds.
The chat was eerily silent.
A new noise started up-- it sounded like a harsh, gurgling noise. Soon, it was joined by wheezing and gasping.
Eventually, both noises stopped.
After a few seconds, another noise started. It sounded like something getting dragged through the snow.
The phone tilted a bit from its current position, and the ground and clearing entered the frame, albeit askew. Now the viewers had a better angle.
The Winter Beast was dragging Jay-- well, Jay's body through the snow. His eyes were turned up to the sky, now faded in color, and some blood leaked from his mouth. The most noticeably thing, though, was the large gash in his neck, and a curtain of blood was slowly pouring out and dripping off his coat, staining the snow pink into red.
The Beast looked up.
He made eye contact with the camera.
He dropped the cats corpse in the snow, and crawled over to the phone.
His face could be seen in all of its horrible glory now. Both ears were flopped over and dark purple at the tips, and the same colour was on his nose as well. On the bridge of the nose, the skin had peeled away, revealing a patch of bone. One eye was completely covered by ice, and looked away in a different direction than the other. His lower jaw had completely rotted to bone, exposing his bottom teeth and his floppy grey-green tongue. Blood soaked his maw and dripped off onto his ratty blue coat.
He picked up the phone and stared into the camera, and spoke one sentence.
"I hope you all enjoyed the show."
The frame quickly changed to the top of the Beasts head, as if he had raised it up, before the scenery started spinning and spinning and--
The sound of metallics and glass crunching was heard for a millisecond.
The stream ended.
