My vision hazed back to the dark red night. In front of me all I saw was the empty bus that we previously stood in the night before.

"Duck."

Ashlyn hushed us and pushed Aiden away from her, we all hid behind the back seats crouching down.

"Still here?"

Tyler whispered making Ashlyn nod. 

"What do we do?"

His sister asked in a worried tone

"We could try to kill it."

I crouched down, whispering so it doesn't hear me.

"How are we gonna do that?"

Tyler turned towards me.

"We could have Logan shoot it through the window?"

Aiden looked towards a shaking Logan.

"No, the gun is for emergencies only."

Ashlyn looked down.

"This is an emergency!"

Tyler blared out making me smack my hand over his mouth to keep his voice down, he  pushed my hand away and let out an annoying huff.

"An emergency is a swarm or one of us is about to die."

Ashlyn looked towards him.

"We don't have many bullets, so we need to try and kill it with our weapons first and have Logan as our back up."

Ashlyn tensed up, putting her finger to her lips.

"Shh hide under the seats."

I quickly slid under and sat next to Ashlyn holding my hand over my mouth to silence my breathing, the phantoms dark legs stepped near us down the aisle missing us completely. Ashlyn moved her leg making a loud noise making her head whip around to see if it noticed.

"Hey Ash..."

I grabbed her arm lightly causing her to see what I needed, there in front of us was the phantom staring straight at us.

"Not good!"

"Guys!"

The twins yelled as it hand tried to reach for us, Ashlyn successfully rolled out of the way but it got hold of my wrist and pulled me back, its other hand reached out and grabbed Ashlyn's hair pulling her towards it too.

"Get the weapons!"

Ashlyn struggled as it pulled the orange braid, its nails dug into my wrist making me wince out in pain.

"Got it!"

"Stay with me"

,was heard through out the bus till Ashlyn got the strength to get out of its hold and knee it in the face. We both scrambled away Ashlyn getting help up from Logan and Aiden while I landed into an empty seat.

No damage was done to my wrist other than some slight red marks that might bruise. The monster tried to reach for Ashlyn again but the group got away in time running across the isle.

It got into the seat they previously were in and gave them a gruesome smile, before it could lunge at them again Aiden grabbed it by the wrist and started to swing it around.

"Aiden?!"

I yelled at him from his reckless behavior, he fell back onto the seat and used his feet to push the phantom out of the window.

"Shut the window!"

He yelled making Ashlyn and Logan run and close the window down. One of the phantom's hands escaped Aiden's grasp and swung around. It sliced through Logan's chest making him fall into the seat.
