I walk up to the answering machine.
It could be from anybody right?
I press down the button. It beeps and starts playing
'Hello..I..I don't know if you can hear me right now. Mom..Dad....Blake. I love you guys so much. I..I can't get back to the U.S for a bit now. David. You remember David. Yeah. He has over come with some. Flu... He has gone to the hospital. I'll have to stay another night. I don't know how bad it is where you are but our calls are getting dropped and they aren't letting us go. Everyone is screaming and I'...Oh..God..I'm. I love you all."
The recording stops. I slump down onto a chair. The others staring.
"Sorry bro" Tom says.
"Its...Its fine."
"What the fuck is this though?" Christina asks. looking through the peephole.
"Lets go get them shotguns!" I said, jumping up and running down the basement.
He runs up with three.
"But we dont want to hurt them. Do we?" Fiona trembles.
"Fiona. Those people. KILL! OK..just..they bite you. You die. We can't let that happen!" Tom says. Grabbing one of the guns.
Tom, I and Jae held onto the shotguns.
"What about me?" David asks.
Jae looks him in the eye. Nose to nose with him.
"Take care..of the women" He faintly whispers.
Fiona and Christina giggle at him.
I open the door. Confused. I look around outside.
"Nobody is out..." I inform. We walk out together.
We hear a faint scream in the distance.
"Maybe we should just stay here. Its almost dark.I don't wanna be snuck up on" Christina says.
"OK, lets go" Tom agrees. Walking back inside.
I walk over to the fireplace. Lighting it.
"No gas" I frown, continuing to try and light it.
"Lets just get some rest" David says. "Will we get stuff from the bedrooms. Sleep down here"
"Why not" I say. David, Jae and I head upstairs. Tom stays down with Christina and Fiona.
"This has got to be a joke..." Fiona says. Leaning back against a chair.
"I don't think so." Tom replies.
"How did they even get into the school? Cherry Tree has to be more secured than that!" Christina says. Confused.
A tumble Is heard down the stairs. Christina looks over and sees Jae, sliding down on a duvet.
"You idiots" Fiona grumbles, walking over.
Jae sets up my sisters blankets, duvet and pillows.
"These are comfortable" He smirks. Lying down.
Fiona and Christina share my parents duvet and pillows. While me, Tom and David set up the huge amount of duvet left.
"My parents always had a spare duvet for every bed. I have no idea why..." I laugh. Locking the front door.
"Good night everyone. Have peaceful sleeps..." I lie on my back. Facing one of the windows.
"I'm hungry" Christina moans. Sitting up.
"Go get something to eat then. Bring through a few snacks too!" I ask. Lying on my back.
She walks through to the kitchen. Looking around.
Just then I heard a scream...
