The night it happened ...

Amber had awoken to a shining light beaming into her eyes , but she did not awaken to the familiar smell of bacon and eggs or the sound of her siblings squabbling. It was silent sure sometimes it was quiet but this was different . This was silent  something was wrong.Ambers feet barley touched the cold wooden floor when a loud scream pierced the air. Startled, she jumped up from her bed and ran to the window, her feet padding against the floor as she made her way to it. The sight that met her was a nightmare. People were running to their cars, wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible. No one seemed to care about their loved ones.

 Cars were honking, the sound of tires screeching filled the air. In the chaos, a few people were still standing in the middle of the street, completely oblivious to the unfolding disaster. Ambers heart raced. She knew something terrible was happening, but she couldn't make sense of it. Amber was shocked as she watched body's lay on the ground convulsing and writhing like they were in pain before gasping for air one last time before laying flat out, like they had just died. The scene was horrific, but it was only the beginning of what was to come. 

Before Amber had time to process what she was seeing, she heard a loud roar and suddenly the street was filled with monsters. They were tall and menacing, with sharp claws and razor teeth that glowed in the darkness. Everyone around Amber was running for safety, but some were not so lucky. The monsters were quick, and they were taking down people one by one. Blood splattered everywhere as the monsters bit into the unfortunate soulsAmber stumbled back, her mind blank, as if a sudden attack had erased all the words from her vocabulary. What should she do? Where were her parents? It seemed like an eternity since she'd heard from them—was something wrong?

 She grabbed her phone, the only tool she had at her disposal, and wildly scrolled through the news sites, looking for any sign of what had happened. But there was nothing, not even a text from her parents or any other family member—just a void of infinite silence.Amber's mind raced with questions and hypotheticals. What if they were in danger? What if they had been hurt? The possibilities seemed endless and terrifying. In the end, she could only assume the worst.With a trembling hand, Amber dialed the number for her parents' house. After what seemed like forever there was a voice on the other end With false hope amber goes to answer But before she could she was cut off 

I'm sorry the person u are trying to contact seems to be offline try again later 

Amber felt like breaking down there and then .
She sat down on the floor, her back against the wall, and for a brief moment pondered if giving up was the best option. But then she heard a strange noise coming from downstairs. It sounded almost like a voice.

Amber slowly got to her feet. Was it possible that her parents had returned? She felt a sudden surge of energy and dashed down the stairs, barely able to contain her excitement.
But when she reached the bottom, she stopped dead in her tracks.

Four tiny eyes observe their surroundings from their tiny sockets. A bent nose rests below, but it's the enormous mouth below that takes all the attention. A brittle smile reveals rows of crooked teeth and a long tongue. Enormous squared ears sit on each side of its long, squared head, which itself is covered in rows of small horns and has several large tentacles protruding from the sides.

Its tall stout body stands straight. Two long fleshy arms dangle at its sides and end in stone-like hands with short fingers, of which it has 12 in total.
Its legs are tall and are bent, each ending in thin paws.
Its body is covered in oily skin and its shoulders are about the same width as its pelvis, from which a thin tail sways back and forth.

The monster turns to face her letting out a fierce roar , amber runs back up the stairs and into her room sitting in front of the door as the creature bangs and budges at the door .

 It then stops  and the young girl lets out a shaky sigh she hears the footsteps going away but she still doesn't move she doesn't want to , she can't .

                                                                   Is this the end?
