I had to tell Emily that she might lose me, but I didnt want her to freak out. I wonder what she'd do without me, but she was fine before she found me. She'll be fine even after I'm gone.
I told Emily what was upstairs in one of the rooms and what it did to me. I pulled up my shirt for her to see and she gasped at the image before her. Tears started to roll down her face and off of her checks.
"Dont cry Em, we dont even know if this wound will even infect me. I might be okay." I tried to sound positive so that she wouldnt have to worry about whether or not I'd made it. She gave me the longest, tightest hug ever imagined and told me everything would be okay. I found the whole hugging thing very strange. Emily barely gives out hugs.

Days flew by after I told Emily about what might happen to Mason and I but we were doing fine. Our wounds were healing and scabbing over which was a good sign. Neither of us felt sick or weak, in fact I felt stronger and better than ever!
The swat team stormed down the stairs and started yelling and throwing things around the house.
"Where's Ben and Barry!" They acted like five year olds who wanted their crayons back.
"Upstairs, first door to the right." I calmly stated.
Why did it take them so long time find out two members of their team were missing? Its been about four days now since the incident. They should have known if people went missing.
Terrorfying screams rung down the stairway and throughtout the living room.
I walked over to the stairs calmly as a bunch of swat team members were pushing each other over and running out of the house.
"What the fuck is happening?" I questioned loudly over the crown of members bolting for the door.
"Its a Wendigo!" One member responded as the baby made it out of its room and crawled its way down the stairwell violently clawing at peoples legs with its one arm.
"Dont move everyone! Its blind if you stay still!" I called out before staying in my position.
Everyone tried to get closer to each other, to try to escape easier the house together.
The creature sniffed the air before a high pitched squeeling noise came out of the monsters mouth and rung throughout my eardrums.
Once it turned its back, I quickly moved and hid behind the couch.
It quickly turned around to the sound of the movement I made. It crawled closer to me at lightning speed and got up into me face. He sniffed at the air before screetching again. Looking behind its shoulder, I noticed Emily and Smidge exited through the front door.
The creature didnt notice and turned away from my direction to Jess, who moved and hid next to the entertainment center. While it moved its focus to Jess, Amerie and a couple of swat team members moved out quickly, the baby noticed and jetted off into Ameries direction.
"Hey asshole!" I called out as I tried to distract the monster. It didnt seem to care about me.
I noticed that she was inches away from the door when the baby grabbed onto her back, took his one arm and swung it at her head. Instantly, Ameries head was cut clean off.
Everyone inside the house gasped as Amerie fell to the floor, blood and gore piled in a pool in front of the door.
My shocked face looked over at the others, Mason looked angry but we had to continue our 'plan'.
Mason moved next and hid behind the couch with me. The baby ran over and sat on the back of the couch staring down at us.
More swat team members slowly made their way to the door along with Kyle.
Kyles face was beat red as tears stained his cheeks. I felt so bad for him and Smidgie, I lost my parents young. I dont even know if thwy are alive or not. For all I know they could be dead.
The last people inside of the house with this demon was Mason, Dan, Jess, Isabella, three swat team members and I.
Isabella then took her turn and ran into the kitchen, making it easier for more people to leave.
The creature followed her into the kitchen, I just prayed she'd be okay while I took charge of everyone.
"Dan, take Jess and get out." I demanded, while the other swat members got out safely.
Dan looked at me like I was crazy.
"I'm not leaving you alone." He whispered.
I rolled my eyes, "Mason can you and Jess get out safely then?" He nodded his head and made his way to the door when the baby calmly crawled out to the living room from the kitchen.
Everyone stopped in their places, I was terrified because anything could happen.
The baby crawled over by the door where Mason and Jess stood, one look outside made the monster sick. He hissed at the way the sun beat down on top of him through the door. He jumped onto Jessica's back and hissed at the door.
Jess looked scared, she looked like she was about to cry, I had to do something.
"Hey! Over here!" I yelled at it as I ran into one of the bedrooms and sat on the bed as still as a statue.
The baby soon entered after me, hissing and screaming at everything in sight.
Dan soon came by the door, and mouthed 'everyones out and safe.'
