the door brust open.
"sis I am glad you are okay" Nuha said.
"when you said you were in trouble, on the phone call, I got worried.
So these are your friends, huh? haha" Reena smiled, Erin's mother.
"when I said I was in trouble I mean it. watch the news you will understand.
also please call dr. baik here quickly. Nikhel's arm is hurt pretty badly."
"but, what happened with you all and how did you hurt your arm so badly son?"
"watch the news mum there are some beasts falling from the sky... Also is dad alright?"
"okay I will watch it on tv..... and I will also check on your dad.... and also call dr. baik here ..... you all should take some rest." Reena agreed.. still confused after what Erin said. so she decided to check on tv since her daughter was not telling about it to her.
"guys.... i will give you a change of clothes after that come to my room we will discuss about.... IT... okay?
you should inform you parents that you are here or else they would be worried."
Erin gave the girls some of her clothes... as for the boys she was thinking of giving them her father's clothes.... but it would be to loose for them. so she decided to ask for her father's old clothes from her mum.
"ehhh..... Erin don't you think these are a bit too long for me and Sam?" Jack asked.
" I don't have any thing which would fit you better... unless you want to wear girls clothes?"
"ehhh... no thanks I guess I will be fine." Jack replied.
" Well I don't have a problem it is about my size." Nikhel chimed in.
"ring ring "door bell rang ... it was dr. baik. He came with a nurse with him. And things he will require to aid Nikhel arm.
By then Reena and nuha saw every thing on the news. they couldn't believe it. If it weren't for Erin and her friends, they would have thought that all the news channels are playing a prank on them. Reena also called and checked up on Denis. There hasn't been any attacks near his office so he decided to stay there since there was a long way between his office and his home, unlike Erin's and Nuha's school.
dr. baik stared to check on Nikhel's arm while Erin's group was discussing about those beasts.
[in Erin's room]
"and did you saw its creepy eye" Aisha said.
"it has those wierd legs as well and it was even fighting with them!!" Jack exclaimed.
"also those dangling long fingers on its claws.... i nearly got hit from them!! "Ila said thanking Erin .
"school has to be closed for at least some days after that right? I don't even want to meet with them again. "Sam shared his thoughts.
" Erin are you here? what are you thinking that you are so lost in it? " Jack asked noticing that Erin was quite the whole time.
"well I was thinking what those beasts were and why they were falling from the sky? it isn't like there were some planes or helicopters from which they were coming, they were just coming from out of blue! that shouldn't be possible right? that would be defying human logic! " Erin told
" ehh.....well...them being real is also actually defying human logic, so... that could be also possible, right? ...either that or we are dreaming a nightmare."Jack argued
" if it is the latter then we are all dreaming the same nightmare simultaneously."Sam added.
" then I bet the logic of the world is changing" Nikhel appeared out of no where.
" Nik, bro don't creep us like that" Jack said since he was still shocked by Nikhel's sudden appearance."
"is your arm alright?" Ila asked conserned about his BROKEN arm.
"yeah doctor said no to use this hand much and also to not lift heavy things with it.
He also said that my hand isn't hurt as bad as you told. He gave me some medicines as well. And told to come again after a week." nik replied his arm was wrapped up in bandages.
Ila got embarrassed since she had way to much overreacted that time.
"dr. baik is good with his job. So you will be fine in no time. :)" Erin said.
" well let's check the news maybe it will give us some idea about that monster. " Nikhel said since he felt like he had made everyone go out off track.
Erin switched on the tv in her room.
"these beasts like creatures came flying from the skies out of nowhere and started attacking people. They appeared all over the world and... well..these beasts have mostly attacked places like school, university, colleges....."the reporter on tv continued to say and asked some victims how those things looked since after seconds of dying their body started to mix in with air and the police force were not allowing them to see or go near the alive ones.
"soo..... are they attacking children and teenagers like us?" Aisha asked.
" so from what the victims saw it seems that those beasts were not attacking anyone on sight, instead they were attacking tweens and teens, aging 11 to 17 years old.
oh.... we recieved a message from our prime minister, he says that, he is declaring emergency on the nation for two days from now.
It's seems that USA, Japan, China, England, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and many other countries are taking similar steps..."the reporter continued.
" so it seems that we will be be together for two days now?" Erin asked to which others nodded
" it seems.."
they continued watching and discussing things for some time and then decided to play cards to get their minds distracted.
"yes, i won" Sam jumped from his seat.
"well the game isn't over let's see who will lose" Erin said with a smirk on her face.
after some time...
they were still playing the game when....
"knock knock"some one knocked on Erin's door and opened it by themselves.
"come on children dinner is ready." it was Reena Tun, Erin Dem's mother.
[on the dining table]
even though they were a family of 4, they bought quite a large dining table which could easily fit at least 10 people on it. So it wasn't a problem where would Erin's friends would sit to eat..... but where would sleep. however Erin's mother made arrangements for it.
Nuha and Reena would sleep in Reena and Denis' room, Erin and the other two girls would sleep in Erin's room and the 3 boys would sleep in Nuha's room.
"also your school sent the message that the school would be closed till this Sunday and would open from Monday if nothing happens till then.
The next day, Denis Dem, Erin's father returned to his home, that is on Wednesday.
After two day emergency ended, Erin's friends went back to their houses. it was Thursday.
On Monday Erin went to school, but there another's tale happened....
