Chapter 4

As I woke up from the mysterious wave that knocked me unconscious, I immediately sat up, however my head had a different idea because seconds after I sat up I got a blinding headache which made me lay back down. Confused at where I was and what happened I took a look at my surroundings as I was laying on the floor. I saw the classroom window was shattered, then looked outside and saw the blood red sky and rolling clouds, and everything came back to me. I slowly sat up this time and inspected my surroundings again more thoroughly. I saw people laying next to me, and recognized one of them as my best friend Eli,But there wasn't nearly as many people near me as there should be because there was two classes staring out of the window before the wave now,however, there was only a dozen people laying next to me. As I kept looking around the classroom I saw papers and junk scattered across the floor, I saw footprints leading around the room, and I saw.. claw marks? I looked closer at the walls and doorway to see that there was also blood smeared along parts of the wall and door. I scampered backwards across the floor as quickly as I could to get away from the blood and claw marks, but ended up almost having a heart attack after touching something fleshy as I moved across the floor. I slowly turned around and sighed... it was Eli I had bumped into. I nudged him and told him to get up, "no dad I'm tired let me sleep" he yelled. I slapped him across his face "I'm not your dad you dweeb, get up." Eli sprang up and started to grumble at me but stopped when he looked around the room. "What the fuck happened in here?" Eli said. " I don't know, after the wave I blacked out and then...this" I said sweeping my hand across the room. Eli and I tried to wake everyone else up but no one even budged they all seemed like they were in a deep sleep... or dead. Feeling Creeped out and wanting to get out of the classroom full of possibly dead people ,I said, " let's go Down stairs and see what happened." "Alright, ima look outside and see what it's like out there" Eli said. " good idea let's look and se-" *VOOSH* a giant blur flew by the window. We both jumped back and looked at each other "Uh..what the hell was that" I said. Eli just looked at me so I edged closer to the window. When I was close enough to see everything outside I noticed everything looked in ruin and there was rubble everywhere, then I looked up to the sky and it looked like their was giant hawks flying around in the blood red sky. I noticed one of them start to head towards our broken window but as it got closer I started to see that it was... a person?! It had arms,legs, and a face but as it flew even closer I was able to make out that it had bulging and toned muscles barely contained by its bright red,leathery skin, it had horns on its cheeks and head, black claws on its feet and hands,all under massive black veiny wings. And as I was noticing all of its grotesque features I remembered it was flying right towards me and the shattered, open window I was standing in right front of.
