She chased the perp into an old, abandoned house. Her flashlight revealed an outline of a figure standing in front of her.

"Hands up," she warned, "don't take another step."

As the other officers subdued the suspect, her light flickered slightly, they heard a muffled scream, turning to find her missing. The perp smiled, "She belongs to them now, until they choose another."

When morning broke, they searched the entire house. Noting fingernail scratches and black marks, singed into the floor.

Gone. As if the house had swallowed her whole.

Neighbors claim, at night, they hear her screaming for help.
