'Please wake up...... I want you to wake up..... Please..... WAKE UP!'

'But why?'

'Just do it before....!'

"Shino!!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed as i fell off my bed while my older brother laughed while leaning on my bedroom door. I pulled the blankets that covered my face and glared at the raven while he kept laughing. I tried standing but i ended up stumbling since my feet where tangled in the blankets. I fell with a loud thump, causing my brother to laugh harder.

I huffed and sat up before praying the blankets away from my legs and growled when i couldn't.

"Ah! This stupid....... Get off me!" i shouted as i kept pulling on the blankets before finally giving up. The stupid piece of fabric didn't want to come off no matter what! It was like it had a mind of its own and i didn't like it one bit.

"Aww, did you already give up?" my brother ,Spencer, said while giving a low chuckle before walking up to me and helping me untangle my feet from the fabric. I smiled when I could finally walk.

Dusting myself off, i looked at my brother before punching his arm. He flinched and rubbed the spot while i glared. 

"That's what you get you stupid basterd!" i shouted before walking down stairs and just as i expected, my mother was cooking and my father was watching the news.

I was going to ignore my father but stopped to hear the news. My family lives in a small town with a population of 1459, excluding the pet's. And since our town is so small we run out of food quickly. We only have 4 stores and those stores only open on certain days. That's why me and my brother don't have many friends here. Why? The people here are crazy enough to attack a teen that have enough meat in their bones and eat the flesh and meat raw from the body.

I shivered and sat next to my father, who just shot me a small glance before watching the news once again.

".... On this mornings news, We have some information on a small town in the middle east of Widows break. There have been six corpse found in the small river that runs between their central park and the Forest that surrounds the small town. There's a rumor that the towns population is at least 80% cannibal while the rest is just like any other person. So far we believe that rumor to be true because of the bite marks made on each body. If this rumor is to be true then it's best to stand cle-"

"Dad turn that off please?" 

My father turned off the tv before sighing and standing. I stood as well and followed my father to the kitchen where my older brother and mother where waiting for us.

"I hate when people start telling the world about our town. Sure we have cannibals but it's not their fault they're like that. We don't have enough food in this small town after all." my brother mumbled while i nodded and ate my food. The kitchen stayed quiet as we all ate before a loud banging was heard from our front door.

When my father stood up my mother grabbed his wrist in a tight grip.

"Please be careful David. I Don't want you to die so soon."

"I won't die Crystal. Im just going to see who it is." my dad assured her before making my mom let go of his wrist and walk to the front door. We all sat quietly until we heard my father mumble and slammed the door shut.

"Shino,Spencer! Help me! Hurry!"

My brother and i ran to the room and saw my father holding a young woman in his arms. I stood there silently as blood oozed from a deep bite mark on her shoulder and cheek. 

"Shino help her son clean up in your room. Spencer help me stitch her up!" my father shouted just as Spencer nodded and helped our dad carry the women.

"H-hello.." 

I turned and saw a blond boy covered in dirt, scratch marks and blood all over his clothes and skin. He was holding his left shoulder as blood started to sink into his green shirt. I walked up to him before guiding him to my bedroom and started to look for some clean clothes and a rag to clean up his wounded arm.

When i came back he was unconscious on my bed.

I placed the things on the floor before running up to the blond and saw that he was losing a lot of blood from what looked like bite marks. Not knowing what to do, i just took off his shirt and grabbed one of the clothes i had left behind and started to clean around the wounded area. As i kept doing this my brother walked into my room and looked through my closet.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting something to wrap that lady's wounds. She's lost a lot of blood and she may die of blood lose if we don't stop the circulation on time. How's the boy?"

"Not good. His unconscious and losing a good amount of blood." i mumbled as my brother looked at me and frowned before walking up to me and snatching the cloth from my hands and placed it on the wound and placed a good amount of pressure on it.

"Go help dad. I'll take care of him." Spencer ordered as i nodded and grabbed the things he had before running to were i assumed my father would be. Sure enough he was in the guest room and was holding a rag to the women's shoulder while my mother cleaned and stitched her cheek. I felt nauseous as i watched all that blood coming from the young female. 

"Shino give me the bandages..."

I don't know what happened next. All i know is that i fell to the ground with the things in my arms while my mother screamed.
