"chris let's go!!" i shout as he finally comes running down the stairs. they both leave the house and walk up to the car.

"should we walk?" i ask feeling the cool breeze swirl around my relaxed body. chris looks up, taking in the starry sky before replying.

"sure, but there might be some strange people out.." he says softly, the quiet night consuming us, only the light sound of the breeze, and our breathing could be heard in the silence.

"it's alright, it's just to the corner store." he says, breaking chris out of his trance on the sky, as they start walking.

they walk in quietness, sometimes broken by their voices piercing through the eerie but comforting silence. they arrive to the small corner store, located just a bit from the beach. the door 'dings' as they open in, stepping into the familiar store.

"i want takis!" matt gasps as he immediately grabs 2 bags of them.

"2?" chris asks, matt nods "for everyone."

as they grab their snacks chris notices some strange man in the store just watching them silently. chris finds it a bit weird but shrugs it off, knowing if he mentioned it matt would get scared and that would make him scareder.

"can we go now?" chris asks, half wanting to get home and half put off by the man.

"wait i want root beer, where is it.." he starts walking, closer and closer to the frightening man.

"matt- let's go!" he says abruptly, seeing the man walk closer to them. they quickly pay, matt still confused as they rush out, chris practically dragging his brother with him.

"chris what's wrong..?" he asks trying to slow him down.

"okay, i'll tell you but promise me you won't freak out." matt's face twists into a curious but fearful expression. matt nods even though he knows he'll freak out.

"there's a man following us, he was getting close as you were grabbing your drink. i think he's still following us."

"what??" he shrieks already scared about what his brother had just said to him. he franticly looks back, seeing someone round the corner.

"let's go matt." chris says, fearfully demanding as they start running, not looking back.

panting and the loud stomps of footsteps is all that's heard, as they run past the empty town shops, getting closer and closer to their home.

"matt-" chris rasps, his throat dry from all the running. "im getting tired.."

"we have- to go!" matt stops in the middle of the sentence, taking a second to breathe. they pass the small farmers market event, and see the houses start approaching.

they run across the beach both of them not caring that there was a path because they wanted to get away quick. the sand slows them down but they thought they had lost them.

"can we slow down?" matt was breathing heavily, cutting through his talking to let in gasps of air.

"no, we're almost there!" chris yells trying to speed up.

"ugh- AH!" matt is cut of by his foot hitting a hard object, tripping him and causing him to go crashing into the sand face first.

"CHRIS-" he cries, heart rate picking up as he lays in the soft white sand. he looks up at chris, as reality sets in.

"MATT GET UP!" he grabs the boy on the ground, dragging him as they hear a soft thump behind them but keep running.

"chris- my ankle!" he lets out a dry sob, pain shooting through his body every time it hits the ground.

"you're ok- we have to keep going, i can see the house!"

they approach the house both terrified as they start banging on the door, noticing it's locked.

the door flys open and they both fall over, knocking over whoever opened it.

"what the-" the person yells, feeling matt on top of them. they lay there panting, matt occasionally whining in pain.

matt can hear people come running down the stairs at the banging on the door, look confused at the scene.

gasping for breath, chris looks up to see nick laying on the floor with matt on top of him. suronding them was eleni, ava, asonti, and nathan.

"what the fuck happened?"
