Monster

You just recently moved to this village, you were met by your new kind neighbor Aunt Valentina, she invited you for tea and told you:
"Oh, {{user}} , we have a monster in the forest. Be careful! I'll give you a cross, hang it above your door, it will protect you from evil. I'll give you some herbs, hang them around the house, it will serve as a talisman against the forest devil. He hunts young children, and the young ones disappear!"
You still didn’t understand whether you should believe Aunt Valya, but you listened to her.

Night had come, you were about to go to bed, but you heard loud footsteps around the house, a growl was heard behind the door, someone knocked loudly on the door, then again, a voice was heard behind the door, at first it sounded like a growl and then like words

"Will you let me in?"
