There was darkness for a bit before there was the view of a dark cemetery. 

A small spot of light swung around, illuminating gravestones and twisted trees. Another beam soon joined it as three voices begun to bicker. 

"Ya 'ure?"

"Yeah, U'm 'ertain."

"Aw SHUT'EP!" 

The voices fell silent as a sharp, harsh crack sounded nearby and the view seen from swung up sharply.

Nothing was seen, just darkness and a phone screen. One voice whispered something to the others as the lights flickered over, but what was said couldn't quite be made out as the view was suddenly swung about again. The group seemed to be running. 

A howl could be heard and suddenly one of the voices screamed, "Urry Ep!!! 'OVER DHUERE!"

The phone was swung back to see a snarling blurred hound. It was black furred and looked much larger than what would be expected of a normal dog, the lights causing its eyes to shine white. The phone swung away and the group could be heard crashing along, one tripped seen by the swinging of the screen showing a blurry image of a blond boy with a light gash on his face. There seemed to be something off about him, but soon the camera was handed off to another set of hands. The lights swung about too quickly to get a good look and then there was darkness. 

A brief swing about suddenly showed more tombstones and more weeds. 

Then it swung back to show a dark figure next to the boy. 

Soon he was back up, a dark hand with long nails helping him up as the view swung to the face of a black haired pale-skinned girl. Soon the camera swung about, seemingly being handed back to the original carrier. The lights seemed to be picked back up and steadied as they begun bickering again. The howl came again and a voice shrieked, "E AIN'T 'SLOWIN 'OWN!"

One of them laughed breathlessly before they continued running, swinging the phone back to catch the image of a hound growling. It seemed to be growing closer before suddenly the group was dashing through a long black barred gate door. 

The camera swung back to catch the hound standing there, its lips pulled back to reveal long fangs, though it seemed to be chuckling. The lights wandered about before they could be heard being clicked off. 

There were whoops and hollers as the camera was  held much more securely. Now giving a clearer view of the group as they walked back towards the gate, it could be seen that they were much more than originally seen. 

The boy with a gash on his face had two blunt horns sticking from out his locks, his blue eyes gazing briefly at the camera as he flashed a smile, "WE 'EEMED TA WON!

He had goat-like legs covered lightly with a baggy pair of shorts, and soon he was strutting in front of the gate as the hound followed him with its yellow eyed gaze. 

The owner of the dark hands with the long nails could now be easily seen, and they were much stranger looking than any of the others. They had the appearance of a feline humanoid, their fur deep brown as they sat down in front of the gate, looking down at the phone with their amber gaze seemingly making sure it was still in good condition before they looked up at something one of the others had said, chuckling to reveal long fangs. 

Suddenly the view swung about, looking at the concrete ground back to the pale skinned girl, who seemed to be purely human, her light gray eyes glancing back into the camera before pumping a fist, "'ND THAT WERS TA CEMAN'TARY RACE 'ALLENGE!"

The feline turned the camera to the gate where the hound sat down panting, "Fine yer won."

The group cheered before they swung the camera to face the feline's face, "Hanks for 'ya join'n us! 'IKE N 'UBSCRIBE!"

The black haired girl shoved herself into the frame whooping and crying, "IF YA 'IKED THAT, CHYECK OAR UTHER CONTENT!"

The horned boy peeked over her grinning, "YEAH!"

Then the camera seemed to be shut off, a few seconds of darkness before the video completely shut off.
