Stay Alive

Prolonged

I was always called weird as a kid. As a baby as well! I never cried about anything, I was unnaturally quiet as a kid, which made my parents think at some point I was mute, but I wasn't. And I still don't talk that much today.

I'm not necessarily the bully's target at school, but they would make comments about me, but I never really did anything about it because I honestly didn't care. I did have friends though.

Alex was my best friend. He had ash-blond hair with narrow green eyes. His skin a little dark and he was usually found wearing a blue hoodie with a cute green dinosaur on it. He is an artist and... like really good at drawing comics!!

Emily was pretty much your basic white girl. We found her slightly annoying at times, but she was part of the friend group. She is super good at keeping up with the trends and the fashionable ones of the group.

And then Aicha. She was an African American and was pretty cool. She was the tomboy. She always did what she wanted when she wanted and never took crap from anyone. She had dark hair in long dreads and dark blue eyes. She pretty much knows how to do everything with camping and cooking and loves getting her hands dirty.

Then me... Your typical quiet girl. My name is Riya. You see, I'm not necessarily quiet because I'm shy, I just... Don't like talking. I also prefer quiet places. I'm also a musician. I play guitar, drums, bass guitar, flute, piano, and more! I was born in Pairs and grew of there's, so I have a French accent and that's also one of the reasons I don't talk much. People notice it, while I speak English and French well though.

And that's my main friend group. I love them all. Everything was normal until they came. Those creatures. Those monsters.

You see, the world didn't end in a bang, in a flash, but rather one scream at a time.
