Chapter 5

Alex just stood there for some seconds, but then he fell. And blood was flowing out of his wound and mouth...

now it was only me and my last friend left, jack. When i looked around for jack, i saw him running in the direction of his home. When i immediately started to run after him when i saw that he was running. But it was too late, that creature had already killed two of my friends. And there was nothing i could do about it.

I ran after him all the way to his home while thinking about what happened at he house. I still had a hard time believing what happened, even though I stood there and watched two of my friends getting murdered.

When I had finally gotten to jacks house, I saw another one of those creatures. I saw it in the garage window, it was looking at jack. With those same black eyes. I don't remember how long I looked at it, but after some time it slowly moved away from the window.

When i saw this a shiver went down my spine as i thought of all the horrible things it might do to jack. So i gathered the courage to run into his house, when i got inside i screamed his name as loud as i could. But he didn't answer. i was horrified by him not yelling back, thinking that the thing might have captured him already. so i ran up the stairs to his room, just hoping he was still alive. But when i finally got up the stairs, all my hope of jack still being alive was crushed.

In front of the door to jacks room was a fresh blood trail, i fell to my knees while crying. I was on my knees crying about all my friends being killed in the same day, by the same creature we all thought was just a myth.

I don't know how long i was crying, but i felt like an eternity.

While crying i heard a sound from jacks room, and i instantly stood up in a fighting position. Then the door handle was pushed down, and the door was being opened. Slowly.

I unintentionally let out a squeaking sound, as i was so scared.

- Jorge? I heard from behind the door.

- Ha? Jack? I said with a shaky voice and a teary face.

- I-I might need some help...

- What do you mean? I said as i was approaching the door.

When i walked into his room, the first thing i noticed was that there was a weird smell. So looked for the source of the smell, and then i saw it. The creature that had been attacking us was lying on the floor, it was bloody and cut up. And its face had been smashed in, and there was blood flowing out of its deformed head.

- What happened here!? I almost yelled at jack

- I was scared, so i grabbed dads hammer and hid in my room... and then...

- i understand...

- ok...

Now jack was crying, he was probably scared and thinking about his friends... his dead friends...

- we should probably see if this is happening in other places too. I said to jack, while trying to cheer him up.

- Ok...

We carefully walked downstairs, looking for any of those creatures that tried to kill jack. Our plan was to watch the news to see if the creatures were in other places too. When we turned on the TV, we quickly changed to the news channel. And we saw the worst thing imaginable. It showed these creatures running around in Detroit ripping people apart, and eating them. There was also some of them that had huge knifes that they used to decapitate everyone they could see. We decided to turn off the TV since we were both so scared we were shaking uncontrollably. We just looked at each other and thought, Why is this happening.

Then i remembered, I haven't seen jacks parents. And we have been in the whole house.

- jack...

- yeah? He said with a shaking voice.

- Where are your parents?

He just looked at me with despair in his eyes while he looked like he was in the most pain a human could possibly experience.

- ah, nooo nonononono. He said while his face was covered in blood and tears

Then i saw him running upstairs so i followed him, he then took down the ladder to get to the attic. When he opened the hatch to the attic, there was a terrible smell coming from further into the attic. We instantly knew that his parents had ended up like the old man in the myth, and didn't even go to see the bodies.

- Jorge...

- Yeah?

- What about your parents?

- Well... i hope they are ok.

- do you want to go and check if they are alive?

- No...

- Ok...

After taking in what had happened, Jorge stood up and asked jack if he had anything that could use to protect themself. Jack just sat there, staring at the wall not answering. Then Jorge remembered that jack had used a hammer to kill one of those things, so i ran upstairs to grab the hammer. When i picked up the hammer, the first thing i thought was «disgusting» as slimy dark blood slowly started to drip from the hammer. While trying to wipe the blood off the hammer with one of jacks shirts, i heard someone slowly coming up the stairs.

- jack? Jack whispered.

- Yeah? I whispered back not knowing what was happening.

- It's another one of those things, its in the kitchen.

- Does it have a weapon?

- I don't know... i mean, there is a lot of stuff that can be used as a weapon in the kitchen.

- I know... do you have anything we can use against it?

- Ehh... we have an axe in the garage?

- Well, lets go get it then.

- Ok...
