The Last Arrow

Chapter 1

THE MIDNIGHT ROAD

POV: Free view

A young woman running in the middle of a road, her footsteps can easily be heard as she has no shoes on and terrifyingly running on her bare feet. She cries as he keeps running from something must be indeed full of terror that she has to outrun. The long road is covered in dark, no one but her, just flickers of dimly lights.

In the darkness, she slips for something that her feet got tangled with. She cries out as she falls, she keeps crawling while panicking and rapidly shaking. An eerie snarl in the area makes the hairs on her nape stand up. A similar snarl unexpectedly comes from everywhere around her. She keeps crawling until she reaches someone's feet. "Please help me, please I-"

The eyes of hers widen with fear as she's looking at a dead man with his throat cut, showing his trachea. And his face is full of blood and the flesh horrifies her, someone ate off his mouth. She sings out for help while crawling backward until the same thing behind her bites her neck and tears out the flesh leaving a giant open wound.

She screams as her blood erupts to her face and blood strains her whole body. With the scream, she attracts more of them as they come around her and tear her apart with their crooked teeth. And one last scream she does.

"AHHHHH!"

The Last Arrow

POV: David Johnson

I reach out to turn off the music as if I heard something, when the music is off I can only hear wheels rolling on the road, weird, cause if I'm not exhausted I sure did hear a scream. The silence takes place as the music is missing and no words from my brother. He's probably upset because I didn't listen to him and went to see a dancing show to collect some good, quality photos and films.

I like being with my camera as long as possible as I could bring it anywhere and this night was worth to sneak out because I harvested beautiful photos. Back to my brother, he's just folding his arms and gazing out through the window and stays silence, shows me how disrespected he is. To wipe the silence away, I lean to turn on the music but he grips my wrist at a stop. I frown. "What's wrong with you?"

"I said no show tonight, especially tonight but you still disobeyed me!"

"Look, I'm twenty-nine years old. I can take care of myself and as a brother, you should support me because I have a passion to love!"

"Because you have a passion to love, because you are 29 years old, too young to give up your dream, the important thing is that I'm your brother and I don't want you to eaten to death then come back as one of those!"

"Oh come on, the weird things going around the state will go away soon. The government is dealing with it, just some kind of a disease, no time to grieve!"

I chuckle so it's like a brotherly apology but he parts his eyes away from me, he has always been this protective since we were little, his lonely white ass is still alone just because of me, he wants to make sure I'm all settled in a family of my own so he can think about himself-overprotective but whatever, I love him!

I put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, there's no next time I promi-"

"Don't!" he cuts me off, then smirks. "You'll break your promise anyway, and I don't want anyone to call my brother a promise-breaker, only me!"
