Chapter 23: Skulls

"Hey Loona do we have any milk?" I asked. Pausing the movie she responded "No, pretty sure we don't."
"Oh alright"
"Why?"
"Well I was gonna make some coffee, is it alright if I go and buy some?"
"Right now?"
"Yea"
"Alex it's 11:40 at night"
"Hey the gas station is open 24 hours"
"Alright fine but be safe, and don't buy anything dumb."
"I won't"
"Again be safe and love you!" She called out as I walked out the door.
"Love you more!" I said back. Walking to the car I looked up at the night sky and said to myself "God damn is my life good down here".
Loona sat with Onyx on her lap watching the movie. "Foo" Onyx yapped and Loona gave him head pats. After about 20 minutes there was a knock on the door. "Oh yay, Alex is back." Loona said to herself as she got up to go open the door. Onyx rolled around the floor and Loona opened the door ready to question me for being gone way to long. Loona stood there at the door looking up at two tall figures with a painted skull on their chest. I got to the gas station and went inside to get the milk and go straight home. After purchasing I hurried out the door and started driving home. When arriving at the house I opened the front door to see Loona and Onyx not where they were when I left. The Tv was still on running the movie, I looked around in confusion and then said "Loona? Onyx? Where are you guys?" Something was wrong and adrenaline kicked in. I threw the milk down and ran to the kitchen to grab two knives. Then suddenly, I heard a loud bang come from upstairs and I instantly headed upstairs. From the door into our bedroom I could hear Loona crying from the inside and shouting. Gripping the knives I slowly began to open the door.
